More important than any of the organizational or physical features of the Halls is the associa- tion with individuals of different training, dif- ferent ideas, and different outlooks. Within the little world of the dOImitory system are people from many places, of many levels of expeIience and sophistication, who have chosen many professions and have experienced as many different backgTounds 05 there are resi- dents in the Halls. The success of a housing system in an educational community such CIS Chicago is to be judged by the extent to which the residents meet and adjust themselves to this diversity. The ease in interpersonal com- munication which the dormitory system fosters will. it it '15 successiul, promote one of the highest purposes of the University: the under- standing and acceptance of diversity. Were one to combine scholastic rooms with tvied watts of stone and the imperturbqbte enthusiasm of college youth, he would realize Ct tine conception of the University Residence Halls. Although University Officials speak of the Halls in terms 01 integration of students and maturation, more than eight hundred residents consider the dormitories as simply the focal point of their University lives. There are sixteen dormitories in the residence hall system. Eight of these, which are within the Burton-Iudson Courts, stand across the Mid- way from Harper Memorial Library. Built in the early 1930's, the Courts cover one-third of a block and reach trom tour to six stories in height. More than a quarter million meals cue served annually in the two high-Ceilinged din- ing halls. Double-decker bunks, hi-fidelity sys- tems, and chIonic claustrophobic: UIe 011 on a B-I boy's order of the day. And histories prove that only once has 0 resident been rescued from atop the spiked gate which guards B-I's entrance in the pIe-dctwn hours. 21 The particular house in which 0: student was placed this past year was determined by a recent University policy of placing residents of like age and academic progress in the same house to as great an extent as practically pos- sible. Whig policy has since been rescinded? Chamberlin House was primarily occupied by divisional students; Salxsbury by veiercms of WW3 or more years in the College; Dodd. Mead, and Vincent by those who had spenl one year in the College; and Coulter, Malhews, and Linn . by enlerinq students. Z3 24 The immediate details of dormitory seli- government are handled by house councils elected by each dormitory. These groups deal with the newspapexs and periodicals to be pur- chased by the house, parties and picnics, house participation in intramural athletics, and cul- tural events to be subsidized tnovel, it not wholly cultural. was Sulisbury's visit en messe this year to the well-known State Street estab- lishment known as Minskytei. Activities for the Courts us a whole are con- ducted by the Burton-Judson Council. the elec- tive governing body of BL which has achieved a full slate of successes during the past nine months. Judson library, which contains long- pieying records and assorted books. was stuffed and operated under the direction of C: Council member. Funds were appropriated to construct a highvfidelity phonograph system. which was made available on the same basis as the library facilities. Motion pictures have been shown each Friday and Sunday evening, under Coun- cil sponsorship A committee consolidated and registered constructive criticism regarding the dining-hcll menus.

Justin iohnson served as President of the Council during 1952-53. Inlerdorm Council, under Chairman Lou Ep- stein. is analogous to the B-I Council in many of the sewices which it performs for the resi- dents, Parties and dinners within the C-group were instituted at the beginning of the year, and. in particular. a more liberal set of home regulations was granted by the Administration at Interderm request. The Interdorm Council, like B-I's, meets weekly. and on alternate weeks the two Councils hold :1 joint meeting following supper in Foster Hall. Members of the Councils reiterate the value of cooperation between them, citing the Becux-Arts Ball of April and the Camp Farr Project as examples of pro- grams which could not otherwise have been carried out. 25 HIS!

A self-help laundry, consisting of washers, exlmclors, and dryers, will yield clean Clothes for dirty in ex- change for c: few dimes. The University Laundry Service accepts and returns laundry and dry cleaning, which is actually processed by an outside Cleaner. Ping pong and billiard tables are offered to residents by the B-3 Council. And those who wish to woxk with photographic paraphernalia will find a well-stocked dark- room available. All of these services exist in the B-I basement. One of the more cultural of B-I institutions is the German Table. Conducted by Messrs, tor Herrenl Max Putzel and James Iones, both members of the College German stall, the Table combines :1 social atmosphere of international understanding with increasing competency in spoken German. These students and faculty members meet each weekday during the lunch hour and d15cuss whatever subjects lhey wish. Exchange students from Germany, periodic parties, slide shows, and record concerts are lealures of this group. One of the most important and interesting of the activities located in Burton-Iudson Courts is WUCB, long known to UC'eIs czs Radio Mid- way. In the early years following the war, CI number of ex-signal corpsmen at the Univer- sity of Chicago formed a small group Which met on and OH. end at one of these sessions Radio Midway was conceived. Amidst hastily erected walls and makeshift soundproofing, the radio station arose in the basement of 3-1. Financial aid from the University, and CI gen- erous grant from Dri Kenneth Chimene. who; along with his son, was interested in the use of radio as an educational and entertainment medium, afforded Radio Midway the means for expansion. Phone lines were rented to In- ternational House and the women's residence halls. transmitters were installed, and Radio Midway became WGUSeWOIld's Greatest Uni- versity Station. The next few years saw im- provements in the technical installation and another chcmge in name. when the FCC as- signed the station the cult Ietters WUCBM University of Chicago Broadcasting. But the station and the FCC had reckoned without the campuseHadio Midway it was, and Radio Midway it will remain czs long as it exists. The WUCB format begins at two-thirty in the afternoon. Chicago FM station WFMT is- rebroadcast from this time until seven PM. Live programs start then and continue until ten or eleven. when FM programs are again rebroadcast until midnight. The live broadcasts include classical music. disk jockeys, recorded crud live debates, variety shows, sports events, and special features, such as the March of Dimes Marathon. which collected over five hundred dollars in 1952, end over two hundred and fifty dollars in 1953. Entirely student planned and produced. these programs often lack the polish of professional radio. The station does not require expedence es :1 qualification for membership. As 0 result, its members learn as they produce. announce. and operate equipment. The station offers the opportunity of cooperative creation. The abili- ties 01 many persons go into the finished productethe radio broadcast. But Radio Midway is more than just 0 stu- dent activity, tor its purpose is three-fold: it serves as C! student activity in providing ct means of expression for its members: as cm extension of the College in providing education and experience in the fields 01 radio: and as a vehicle of communication in presenting enter- taining and educational programs to its audience.

Dickson when, many years ago, they began inviting foreign students to their Chicago home. and it was the same purpose which inspired John D. Rockefeller, IL. in 1932, to build for these students and others like them, Chicago's International House. Now, in 1952-53, some 500 graduate students from approximately 50 countries live together in this international community under one roof. One of four International Houses throughout the worldithe others being in New York. Berkeley and PGIis-the Chicago House is self-support- ing and a part of the University of Chicago; and. though the residents study in many in, stitutions 01 higher learning in Chicago, the majority cure enrolled in the University, and House activities are open to all students of the University of Chicago. In cooperation with the permanent staff, the House Council this year planned a myriad of activities: and foreign students received a real taste 0!

S. citizen The year's Presidents, Polly tMcrY EJ Paulson, of Oak Park, Illinois. and Francoise 39 Ncmln. ot Lille.

The Compass, House newspaper published by the Communications Committee and edited by Maureen Felix-Williums of England, with Coen Oort of Holland. changed from a bi- weekly to a weekly, and to an organ tor alumni and the Board 01 Governors as well as resi- dents. The Music Committee, tormed in 1951-52, continued its record concerts each Tuesday and Thursday evening and Sunday morning in addition to live music programs and a rapidly increasing record-lending library. Quuxterly semi-tormal dances included a Home Festival; at Commedic: delle Arte; the March Gras: and a Coronation Ball. presented by House resi- dents from the British Cmnrnonweulth. The Social Committee planned Sunday teas. Friday and Sunday dances, and special reception parties: and the Education Committee presented Wednesday evening discussion programs of student panels and tcculty and outside speak- em. In addition. two tours of Chicago, recep- tions of visiting dignitariest language classes. and foreign movies each Monday evening are sponsored by the House Activities Office. When residents leave Int. House, they can join the International House Association of the tour Houses. which now has chapters in most large cities of the world. The Chicago chapter sponsors folk dances each Tuesday. c: play- reading group, and get-togethers of alumni and residents. as well as the Quarterly Ioumcn'. Groups within the House. such as the India Association, the French Club. and the Iberio- American Club. present programs for the whole House from time to time. But the purpose of Int. House is not merely activities; but that through living, working. studying. and playing together, the residents will come to understand that Nothing that is human is foreign. Diverse groups in color, creed, or national origin are no longer diverse. From this international community on ct small scale. it is the hope of International House that its residents may return to their countries to work. on a much larger scale, tor the same fellowship. tolerance. and understanding. 40 And some live off-campus 41 42. l ,3' 45.. ft Mada.

Lawrence A. Kimpton 44 Laird Bell The Council of lhe Senate 45 EL G E L L O C E H TI The College of the University of Chicago. particularly since the adoption of the NNew Plan in 1842. has been devoted to teaching the three intellectual virtues: clear thinking, intellectual honesty. and wisdom. It has equally been pledged to acquaintng the students with the ideas of the great thinkers of the West, and to developing the qualities which are cardinal in the formation of c: thinking individual and c: citizen of c: free society. and which make of a man Ct successful human being rather than a mere technician or specialist. ignorant of the world beyond his specialty cmd unable to communicate with others than fellows specialists. To achieve these broad goals, the College has been directed at three more specific ob- jectives. The first of these is the development of the ability to read understandingly: the second is the abilitv to make considered iudq- ments of arguments and Opinions: and the last is the ability to communicate one's thoughts to other persons. The successful candidate for the Bachelor's degree must demonstrate either by placement tests. at the time of his arrival on the Midway. or by comprehensive examinations. that he is sufficiently competent in seven areas of knowledge and understanding: the humanities. social sciences, natural Sciences. mathematics. English, a foreign language. and the integra- tion of the fields of knowledge. The Chicago BAH then, has represented an objective content 47 of general hbet'al educutton, lather than the CthOILC four-year tangle 01 surveys , electives. seml-spectalzzatton, and course credits which have traditionutly added up to the Amencan Bacttetor at Arts.

Yet. despite ct degree of freedom almost unptecedented in American universities. class attendance has been high, and the scholastic performance of Chicago College students is far in excess of most of their peers elsewhere. The College, as organized by President Harper. the great educational pioneer of his dcty, underwent many changes under his suc- cessors. and, since the institution of the New Plan by Chancellor Hutchins in 1942. changes in the College program have been made almost annually, to bring the practice at general edu- cation at Chicago nearer to the theory in the minds of its proponents, Within the last year however. the basic postulates of the College, as regards the relationships between teaching and research general and specialized educa tion. the College and the Divisions, education and freedom, class attendance and academic success, the University cmd the community Cip- pear to have been subject to serious recon- sideration. Though the Administration has not yet stated C1 theoretical formulation of the future role of the College in the University. certain changes have been made which indicate that the current reexamination of the functions of the College will eventuate in more than modi- fications within the framework of the present College program. Apart from procedural changes such as re- strictions placed on students' 'ttlouttng't tat- lending classes other than their own in courses for which they are registeredt, and an increas- ing emphasis on quarterly examinations. the most significant departure from the concept of the College as c: discrete educational unit, ud- ministering ct program at general education culminating in the Bachelor's degree. was the decision to grant CI Bachelor of Science degree in the Biological Sciences Division after four years of study. with the College program to be adjusted in such ct manner as to make this possible, The demands of the Humanities crud Physical Sciences Divisions for similar pro grams, though presumably dictated by theil desire to increase enrollment by facilitating the transfer 01 students to and from the Uni- versity, leave highly uncertain the future role of the College and the New Plan within a restored four-year educational pattern. Whatever form the College may assume in the future, the influence of its ideas, if not its exact forms, on American higher education cannot be contested, since the national trend toward general education seems Clearly estab- lished. The influence of the College on the students who have passed through it in the last eleven years has been no less. and there are few of them who do not feel that they have been part 01 a great and stimulating adventure. They. and American higher education, will be the debtors of the College of the University to: many yecns to come. ..noonu.0033i 36!.i'39 .to caviamn'o'n'n . 30..

WRIGHT Socjut Service Adminlstmtiun 55 The Division of As part of a university community making c1 concerted inquiry into the nature of the world and of man. the Division of the Social Sciences, largest of the University of Chicago divisions. seeks to increase the knowledge of man in con- tact with ideas, institutions, and other men. The splitting of the Division into some twenty departments and committees is based less on clear theory than on concessions to two seem- ingly conflicting principles of organizatione specialization and coordination The traditional disciplines are represented by departments from Anthropology investi- gating cultural and social forces in 0 wide comparative and historical framework, to Socielogy, which finds its problems of social relations and group life in a modern Western setting. More fluid organizationutly are the inter-dei partmental committees. Arising from social questions and needs insoluble along conven- tional lines. committees apply the relevant facets of c: law or many departments to their work. The Committee on Industrial Relations, for example, sends its students to the Depart- ments of Economics. Sociology; Psychology. and Political Science for credits. the Social Sciences Content as the scholar may be with his specialty, he is prompted continually by the Division as a whole to make use of diverse points of view. Each student entering the Division has a background of general education. The College provides the broader understanding so valuable as :1 basis for specialization. Beyond this, the gradaute student pursues his more closely de- fined study with the aid of departments other than his own. The Division believes that such a plan will result in c: firm grasp of the nature of man in society, based on c: wider understanding of mom and his world. 57 Pm! Pmrnenter The Division of the Humanities is cm aggrev gate of those disciplines which study and in: trepret man in the role of creator, and the means by which he communicates his ideas and artis- tic creations to his fellow man. Hence, the sub- ject matter of humanistic studies includes the crrts. languages and literature. philosophy, and historyein which creative man is placed in his temporal sequence. Until early in the thirties when the division as it now exists was incorporated, its depart- ments existed as separate entities within the University. The process of integration and co- operation ctmong these various disciplines which was then begun. has since been furthered by the formation of Inter-Departmental Commit- tees. Within these committees students who wish to study subjects which involve the tech- niques and subject matter of two or more de- partments are able to cany out a unified pro- gram of study to satisfy their individual needs. A single characteristic Which has aided this growth of interdepartmental programs is the . . .. ... u... Jannrimantg have common meth- Proft McKeon Prof. Smilh The Division me. Kraelinq f h H ' ' Dds and aims which apply to their various 0 f e umanltles Special disciplines. and a common reference to the basic principles of knowledge and action. Not content to appreciate works of art or to catalogue the ideas of past thinkers the de- partments proceed to analyze and understand. to evaluate and criticize the objects of their studies. At times analysis may be most im- portant. us in history: it may go hand in hand with evaluation, as in literature crud the arts; but even in the latter subjects, however, one or the other method may be stressed in different courses Valid criticism always presupposes c: thorough knowledge of the relevant materials. PhilosoPhy, on the other hand. is concerned chieily with the underlying principles which serve as criteria for evaluation crud as ruies of analysis: but it must rely on its students' clearly understanding the texts most relevant to its special purposes. From philosophy critics receive their princi- ples. and philosophers take ideas and inspire- tion from art and literature. History. in turn. reveals the problems of past generations. the conditions that gave their answers significance. and the processions and recessions of man's preper creationecivilization. Thus, the common aim of all the humanities is, simply, to en- hance man's capacity to understand, enjoy, and produce the unrivalled creations of his innate humanity. O -. Prof MCCOWI'J.

The faculty mixes teaching with important research, and the more advanced students are active in research also. Perhaps the outstanding event of the Year was the opening of the impressive Argonne Cancer Research Hospital, next to Billings Hos- pitctL Built for the Atomic Energy Commission. the Hospital will devote its services entirely to cancer patients and research in cancer treatment by radioactive materials. The build- ing is splendidly equipped; the Van de Great accelerator. the linear accelerator and the cobalt-BO therapy machine being housed in the sub-bctsement. Altogether. the use of radioactive materials is perhaps the most important new development in biological sciences. The sight of the new cancer hospital and the accelerator building two blocks down on Ellis Ave. is most definitely food for thought. In addition to its research accomplishments. hOWever. the Division is equally proud ot its teaching at the undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate levels.

There are four theological schools associated v. tth the University, Each has at separate build, th, but they shcrre in common the same full- time loculty twhich comprise the largest Protesmnt theological faculty in the countryl. the some classes, and the some degree pro- grams Our academic entrance requirements 613 Theological Schools are similar to the other professional and gradu- ate schools. We. too. have our special purpose to simple. but presumptious omeleto spend our years here searching out life's meaning. For most of us the most adequate interpretation of life is presented in the Christian Faith. and therefore we wish to confront the faith more thoroughly than we have done. Some of us are less sure about any ultimate values, and we enter with cm air of tentativeness. This kind of education is achieved in the classes, in study, and in formal and informal study groups. The loculty hopes that we will stay long enough to take c1 degree program in one of the eight fields of specialization in the department. MA programs generally take two years: BD, about three; and PhD. sev- eral more. The hope is that after our study we will be able to speak to our culture from the viewpoint of our faith either as teachers. preachers, or religious leaders. It is for this reason that we examine our faith using the point of view and the methods of the disciplines of the University. At the same time we attempt to hold c: tension between these methodologi- cal assumptions cmd the Faith itself. All of us, high, low, or no-church. find that the some searching out of our presuppositions is demanded of us. We are either too rigid and need to be shattered, or so pliable and seem- ingly tormless that we need to be shaped. We find ourselves defensive about our most the:- ished beliefs. There is a painful relinquishment of the old and the struggle to realize the novel. The personal involvement is high and the emo- tions become very sensitive at this stage at the involvement. The years pass and we begin to take on a new life. The Federated Haskell Hall School of Business The School of Business. founded in 1898. was th second such institution set up in the nation. he basic hypothesis of the curriculum is that the business man, operating in c chang- ing social environment, achieves success largely in teime of his ability to solve business problems-Hproblems at business policy. prob- lems of organization, and problems of opera- tion. Since most students cannot foresee what positions they will hold. the chief emphasis is on fundamentals rather than upon narrow specialization. Through emphasis upon under- lying principles and upon analysis, the school seeks to develop in its students the capacity to deal intelligently with the increasing com- plexities and constantly changing problems Oi business administration and to meet new situa- tions and new problems in new ways. The faculty of the school holds that this training materially Shortens the apprenticeship of those who. possessing the intangible and indetimbte elements of executive ability. will emerge C15 successful business men: and that this training will in time raise appreciably the general level of economic and business intelligence of the community. Through the years the faculty has conducted research appropriate to the unique position of the University of Chicago. Among research problems now being investigated are the nature of competition in the petroleum industry, the development of CI technique for measuring brand loyalty, and the uses of business fore, casts in budgeting. Through its various activities the School seeks to contribute to the development of leaders among the scholars and administrators of business and to prepare men and women for competent and Satisfying participation in the management of business. PmI. Gmtietd V Cox Waller Kennon Elem: Graduate 1' Libra ry School Although three dozen library schools already existed in the United States at the time, another was founded at the University at Chicago be- cause a number of librarians and editors felt that at least one school should go beyond teaching the routine processes which had been emphasized in other schools. and attempt to find the library's rightful place in the entire social organization. Accordingly. the Carnegie Corpemtion made an allotment of one million dollars to make possible or graduate library school of a new type which could occupy tor the library's profession a position analogous to that of the Harvard Law School or the Johns Hopkins Medical School. With this high objective in mind the school was opened in 1928 and in forming its first faculty drew from the tields of bibliography. history. education. psychology and sociology.- The fresh and unfettered outlook has been justified by the wealth of professional litreuture by both faculty and graduates, and by the many . key positionsein library schools, university and research libraries. and public libraries- now being filled by former students. The first university in the world to give a Ph.D. in librarianship. Chicago now finds its example followired by Columbia. Michigan and Illinois. At present. students may learn, in addition to the varied and complex technical matters in- volved in running a library, the functions and use of the various sections of the library. Thus. for example. special courses are given on the reference departments. Since librarians are frequently asked to recommend reading, courses are taught regarding the interests of . ditterent groups in the population: college stu- dents and children to take two slightly differ- ent examples. Miss Henne, an expert on chil- dren's reading. selects and lists acceptable books for the use of librarians throughout the United States. Through this Index Librorum Prohibitorum children are encouraged and aided in obtaining books which they will enjoy. The students are all members at the Gradu- ate Library School Club, which sponsors two social events during the year. a Christmas party and c: Spring picnic. Several meetings with a professional interest have also been held. The School of Social Service Administration is perhaps better known in the nation than among the students here at Chicago where the superlative is accepted as c: matter of course. This school, whose organization in 1920 as the first school of social work to be incorporated into c1 university as 0 professional school offer- ing graduate education marked cm epoch in professional education for social welfare and was but another concrete manifestation of the Chicago tradition of progressive innovation in education. A broad generic course of study complemented by extensive field work and re- search opportunities is designed to develop Ct professional attitude crud competence based on a sound philosophy of welfare and social policy. The product, teachers, researchers, dedicated field workers, and competent ad- ministrators, have fulfilled the high expecta- tions and fully vindicated the pioneering spirit that is Chicago.

Even the most scholarly. however. do not live by books alone. and no University dedicated to the whole man can disregard what should be the extra-curriculum. This University, notwithstanding misconcep- tions both on. and off campus, is far from doing 50. Yet it is often said that the University of Chicago has no traditions OI customs; that we lack the spirit that makes the students at other Universities so vehe- ment and otten-long-winded in praise of whatever alma mater to which happen to have been subjected. It is true that a superficial com- parison with other institutions 01 higher learning reveals certain omis- sions in Chicago's extraecurriculum: there is. for instance 110 foot- ball team and no grimly determined cheerleaders to organize enthu- siasm. But these things, appropriate as they may be to the spirit and traditions oi the institutions where they flourish, are not intrinsic to a University. Their absence from the Midway indicates only that the Chicago extra-curriculum is its own, and a necessary part of this University's program. And if we look around with this in mind, we find that Chicago has many traditions. We have the tradition in the curricular and in the extracurricular of independence 0t approach; grades and examinations are little more than a necessary evil and are looked upon as such. The student. who becomes interested in c: particular course or in individual research is willing to fall behind in his other courses, to skip that Class now and then, and to recognize that education is not merely a matter of organized clase routine or for that matter organized extracurricular activities whose sequence of events ttor reasons not understood by anyonet have been outlined and ham which he cannoteunder penalty of sinudevtate. Above all the Chicago educational plan might be summarized in the phrase tree Choice . in that its students are expected to acquire the knowl- edge and the mental habits for making well-considered decisions. In keeping with this ideal the extraecurriculum offers to the student a wide choice of activities in which he may or may not participate and a particular feature of life on the Midway is that participation. while 75 Ruth 0. McCarn Assistant Dean ol Students William E. Scolt Reqislml Albell F. Couon Bursar approved as an invaluable supplement to academic life. is based on no social presgure to join . The emphasis at Chicago. therefore, is on student initiative, both in joining and in organizing. The facilities of the University are at the disposal of students desring to use them. and or benevolent Administration encourages any promising proposal tor new activity. But it is not the policy of the Administration to stringently control or to closely supervise student activities or to foster activities for which there is no real student interest. Our Yearbook and campus newspaper. for instance. are not adjuncts to a School of Journalism or the English Department. directed by a faculty or the Administration, and merely carried out by the students. These organi- zations. and all others. are directed by their student members in the manner of their choice. On this basis of student sell-expression and encouragement from the Administration stands the vast array of organizations which this book portrays, all of which, lrom rockets to ballet. and from non-western music to neo-Dudctism. drctw their vitality from students interested enough in these subjects to found organizations to pursue them. The broad and unconventional gamut of our extru-curriculum is CI mirror to the intellectual, seciul, artistic, religious cmd political interests of our student body. And the list of student organizations is never complete. for as students acquire new interests, they establish new organizations within which to develop them. Thus, the extra-curn'culum is a direct result of the widening of horizons which is a principal goal oi the cur- riculum. As long as the University retains its present concept of higher education, the extruucurriculum will continue to fill this unique role as a supplement to formal instruction; and cts long as the students remain informed and convinced of that concept, student activities will continue to be based upon student self-expression and initiative. We can by aid thy such aid as the publicity in such a book as this can providel continue this attitude and its growth. We will hinder it. if we try to solve the problem of student activities by importing in whole or piecemeal attitudes, traditions and customs from other Uni- versities that could not exist here without changing the basic concepts of the University of Chicago. If we as students constantly keep this in mind, it we develop this student bodyeits ideals and attitudesein accordance with the educational plcm of which we are proud. then these activities will continue to increase. It is this program which is that unique balance between the academic and the extru-curriculum which the UniverSit-y of Chicago has created . William Birenbaum. Dlrectm 0!

With the poet-wcnr influx of students. the need for c: well to- ordinated program became more and more evi- dent. In 1948. ct number of organizations whose activities 1c: in the social field united around the Social ommittee to form Student Union. Since December 6 of that year, when the Union was formally organized. it has presented over twenty-seven hundred events which have drawn on attendance in excess of one hundred and seventyliive thousand students. A survey taken by the Association of College Unions in 1948 showed that the Chicago Student Union presented the third largest recreational program in the nation. A drop in enrollment and some change in the nature of the student body prompted the Union to alter its organization and structure in 1952. The President, who is official spokes- man for the Union. and an Executive Council of the five officers co-ordinate SU activities. supervise the overall SU program and act in matters relating to the Union and other organ- izations or persons. The Vice-President serves as liaison officer between the SU departments and the Executive Council. His periodic reports on the departments and their activities keep the officers intermed on these matters, while his expert guidance aids the departments in carrying out their programs. In addition to assisting the President, the veep chairs the administrative department, composed of sev- eral temporary and permanent committees, which deal with personnel. continuity, and special large events. The business operations of the Union are conducted by the Secretary and Treasurer, who handles Union finance, correspondence, and office supervision. Pub- licity and public relations are supervised by the Publicity Chairman. whose department also constructs displays and advertises all SU events. The Student Union Board. responsible for overall policy and direction. is composed ot the five members of the Executive Council and the Chairmen of the four major departments. The Board is advised by two faculty members, tour SU alumni advisers. and such special con- sultants as the Board feels it needs. The Board meets on the first Tuesday of every month in the Student Union office on the htird floor of Ida Noyes Hall, where. besides its ottice, SU has c: workshop containing mimeo and ditto equipment to turn out posters, calendars. notices. and reports. The bulk of Student Union activities are carried out by tour large departments. The OUTING CLUB draws its participants from all over the Chicago area and has long been known throughout the country for its outstand- ing program of tours and excursions. which take the participants as far afield crs the ski- runs at the Rockies and the sunwdrenched Keys of Florida. The DANCE DEPARTMENT. a con- tinuution of the former Social Committee, has carried on the sixty-year tradition of Washing- ton Promenade: and its program of several C-dcmces each quarter is enhanced by the use of unusual and imaginative themes. The HEY- NOLDS CLUB COUNCIL survived c: stormy infancy two years ago and now presents smokers, lectures. receptions. and informal dances. The fourth major department, and the youngest is the IDA NOYES COUNCIL. created during the 1952 reorganization, and now de- veloping a large program utilizing the facilities at Ida Noyes. 105 0f. The preparation tor on event begins when it is scheduled. About a month before the end of each quarter, the Student Union Board meets to plan next quorteris program. A large blank calendar at the coming quarter is set up in the Union office. The department chairmen. after discussing the program with their depart- ments, place chosen events on the calendar. Things are then shifted and shuttled by the Board. a smaller copy of the calendar is mode. and it begins its peregrinotions. it goes tirst to the Activities Co-Ordinating Committee to be reshufflect until the major events ot the larger compus organizations mesh smoothly; next to the Student Activities Office for registrae tion: and finally to the printer. A typical event, such as the annual Night of Sin , begins its career as a scrawled nota- tion in one of the small boxes on the prelimi- nary autumn calendar: Several months before the event, the Idar Noyes Council meets and slowly, week after week. thet'Night is planned The Council divides into committees. One com- mittee chooses the rooms to be used. then or- ranges and decorates them. Another decides what equipment is wanted. The giant toro wheel! the roulette wheels. the bingo gamest and other nefarious paraphernalia must be ordered well in advance; bales of money t?l must be packaged into bundles to be sold. The refreshments committee orders Edibles and potables. Now the publicity department goes into action: MAHOON ads are bought stories are written. and posters are mode and printed. Financial arrangements and budgets are cleared with Miss Denton. the auditor of stu- dent accounts. Last minute checks are made with all persons concerned. At last, the clay of the event rolls around. Equipment arrives early in the morning to be set up. As the hour neorsl ticket takers assume their places at the doors: the housemen are at their tables: tood and drink stand ready. And now the aspiring sinners swarm through the doors. The click of the taro wheel resounds above the tumutt. Money flows across the countersv Beody-eyed gamblers cluster about the dice and black-jack tables. Fortunes change hands in on instant and ruined gamblers, ever hopeful, reel from table to table. while winners stagger to the Sideboards to squander their gains on rare and heady beverages. The lever mounts unrelentinqu until retribution, in the guise of Walter the watchman, turns the revelers out into the night. As silence descends on Ida Noyes. and the studentsesons sing ore convalescing over their milk shokes ot Headeris or the T-Hut . the Council. re- emerging from the shadows, goes into high gear. The building is restored and all the in- struments of sin are locked away in less than thirty minutes. And so, one of twenty-seven hundred events has been run off. 10'? A standard one quarter program usually in- cludes two or three C-dcmces. 0 large vent in Ida Noyes Hall such as Night 01 Sin , series of events in the Reynolds Club Such as infOImul dances, smokers, receptions. lectures, an ex- hibits. cmd toumments. events by the Outing Club, and occasionally CI concert or play in Mendel Hall. The first month of the school year is Student Union's busiest period. Towards the end of the summer. a series of committees is set up to handle the orientation week program. one committee to plan the picnic, another to arrange SU's display for Activities Night, 0 third to work on the Open House. Then there is the Chancellors Reception and the first C- dance Of the quarter. with teas and divisional orientation events filling in the picture. The Winter Quarter is far trom being a stack period. since, in addition to the regular SU program. Washington Promenade shows up here. Wash Prom, almost every one of whose performances has been at G different place, Celebrated its fiftieth anniversary this year ctt the Sheraton Hotel. Johnny Palmer previded the music and Ieri Southern entertained with some vocalizinq. An event which may well become annual is the Ccrnivett Although sponsored by SU, the Carnival is really Ct cooperative enterprise between SU and many of the other organiza- tions on campus, It wu's run for the first time last year, behind BurtonAIudson courts, and most oi the residents. us well as many other enthusiastic students turned out for the event. This year. it was held on Saturday, April 11, in the Field House. and it nothing else. it had plenty of room to move about in. The close of the Winter Quarter was marked by the annual election of officers. Former President Richard KCII'hH turned the SU gavel Over to Bruce Lorkin, Elliott Goldstein was re- elected treasurer, and Thelma Yutsn was elected secretary.

Even.r Tuesday they combed the campus and the neighborhood for news and ads. Every Wednesday they joined in the frantic rush to get the paper assembled before the 10 pm. deadline.

In recent years the student-edlted Chicago Review has been tmnsiormed into c: quarteIly representative of the creative thinking of the entire University. Originally. us a literary quarterly, the Review provided the campus with fiction and poetry by both recognized writers and as yet unsung students. Today its pages are tilled largely from periodic competi- tions among students. faculty. and alumni of the University. New formsearticles of current interest, critiques, and cm workeround out the scope of the new Review. The success of the Chicago Review lies in the desire of CI few students in each part of the University to go beyond the pale of term papers and essay exams, write for the fun of writing. and see their names in print. Of these students. about fifteen, with an added penchant towards editing, comprise the stuff of the magazine. This year the editor is F N. Karmatz. In the Winter Quarter of 1953 the staff held c: special creative writing contest, the winning entry to he published in the Review. Contest Iudge Gwyn Kolb oi the English faculty gave first honors to the sonnet Figure by George Jackson. Honorabie mention was awarded the poems 01 M. J. Phillips and Chip Karmutz. Music continued to be one of the main extra- curricular attractions on campus. In addition to the University's traditional institutions new groups were active. Rockefeller Chapel was titled several times for performances by the University Choir. 1n the Fall the choir scmg Handel's Israel in Egypt and The Messiah : in the Spring Bach's St. Matthew Passion and B Minor Mass were presented. Richard Vikstrom conducted the choir which was accompanied by ott-cam- pus soloists and members of the Chicago Sym- phony Orchestra. A smaller group. also under Mr. Vikstrom's direction. the Collegium Musi- cum, continued to entertain the campus with presentations of medieval, renaissance, bum- que, and early Classical music. Less known mustc was gwen by the Collegiate Sinfoniettc: under Dieter Sober. and the new University of Glee Club Chicago Musical Society. The latter, a student Chamber music ensemble With wide musical range, gave opportunity for musiC-making to students with insufficient time to devote to more normqt groups. A recent addition to campus vocal groups is the Glee Club. which sang CIt Ct number of campus functions during the year, Since the fall quarter the University has provided the Club with c: permanent conductor, Wendell Rider, and the group is now steadily growing. As in past years prominent professional artists performed at the Friday evening Univer- sity Concerts Iennie Tourel, Eugene Istemin and the Mozart Trio were heard during the Autumn Quarter. Four string ensembles. the Hungarian. New York. Amadeus end Loewenguth Quartets were the winter program. Of these the dis- tinguished artistry of the New York Quartet, Cottegium which includes Myeczislav Horszowski. Alex- cmder Schneider, Milton Katims Crud Frank Miller was pm'ticulcu'ly weli received. The Albeneri Trio, A1 nder Schneider conducting Cl Chamber orchestra. and Carol Brice gave the Spring concerts.

The present organization, tounded in 1946 by George Blair, is the successor to at long twdition of dramatic production at the Univer- sity. Its predecessors, the Dramatic Associa- tion. The Blacktriurs, the Players Guild and many others. all contributed to a long and rich history of University drama Chicago is almost unique among the large universities oi the country in having no academic drama or speech department. The aim of campus pluy-produc- tion, theretore, has never been the training of actors or workers 101' the protessionel stage. Here theater had always been an important activity, but important in itself. as Ct testing- qround, a forum for plays new and old. Ours has been. in the best sense. c: literary theater. an extension of the University's ideals and standards in this important branch of the humanities At c1 time when the tributary theaters were intent on reproducing the popular successes of the New York stage. University Theater has built ct highly significant record of production in both classical and contemporary drama. always stressing the importance of new plays. on'ginctl scripts, and new translations.

This year the theater has greatly ex- panded its progrumr Studio productions in the theater's Reynolds Club cudii torium have been added to the regular schedule of Mendet Hull shewsi A new program of drama recitals has offered public readings of the dramas studied in the college humanities courses. U T. people have been active in radio. work ing with the University Radio office to produce programs for station WFMT. including The Hour Glass by W. B. Yeats and readings of poetry and short- stories. Another new feature of the theateI has been the addition of reaular Saturday afternoon ectinq-workshop sessions. Here, through improvisations and actual practice in acting tech- niques, the U. T group has worked to isolate those elements of imagination and selfdiseipline which are as im- porlcint to the actor as voice-placement to the singer. Although the theater has no formal connection with the academic program. the stress has always been on drama activity as a learning processt Ptays are chosen, not for their vcrtue es en- tertainment pieces. but as significant works of literature meriting Close study and deeper analysis. Participants are expected to make themselves acquaint- ed with all the functions of production. with make-up. lighting, design, cosv tume. etc.: to comprehend all the tech niques and processes which make up the final performance. KNIGHT'S OF The KNIGHTS OF THE BALLET. the Univer- sity of Chicago's student dance group was founded by Guy Bassett in the Spring of 1951 out of the recognized need for student ac- tivity in the field of ballet. Composed in the greater part by amateurs who have little in, tention of pursuing careers in such a demand- ing and turbulent profession. the KGB has en- couraged the participation of CI wide range of talent, from adult beginners to senior bullet studentst Drawing consistently provocative comment. the group has forged ahead into several experimental modes as well as at tempting a few works in the traditional manner. For its members. the KGB has previded c: pleasant and most successiul social program.

However. the organization has been constantly encouraged to contniue its work in this highly technical and specialized field.

Its purpose is to provide entertaining. healthful activity and show production experience for University of Chicago students. faculty, and alumnit Its more than 100 members include the Uni: versity's varsity and junior varsity gymnastics teams which assist in putting on demonstra- tions. Acrotheaier is self-supporting and gets its money lno duesl by putting on many shows each year for public schools or other interested groups, and this year. CI large production in Mandel Hctll fer the benefit 01 the Boy Scouts. The talent for these shows is created entirely within Acrotheater during its two weekly meet- ings. To join. a person need not have any talent or experience, only interest in the Cic- tivities and the willingness to participate regularly. There are many opportunities in Acrotheater for those not interested in actual physical activity: in the fields at publicity, art work of all kinds, stage hands, and those with talent for make up tthese persons go to show with net. scenery designers, builders, and painters; and costume designers and sewersi Acrotheater has many varied activities. among them: Ballet, Acrobatics, Trampoline, Gymnastics 101 both men and women Tumb- ling Iuggling Adagio fboth chorus and duol triple trapeze and aerial web. Besides all these there are many variety and specialty acts. All the classes are taught by experienced teachers and the working area is supplied with safety devices for beginners. Many people have competed individually and 05 :1 team for Acrotheater. winning it many cups and trophies Many members have won National and Olympic gymnastics cham- pionships. Politics. cts the competition lor power, place. and prestige, is found wherever two people come together, cmd. since the rivalries which divide families and faculty senates. legislatures and nations, derive from the same psycho- logical bases. there is no pair of roommates no dormitory clique. no student organization which is not animated by the keenest political competition. But, apart from these often un- conscious rivalries in which everyone partici- pates. the new student, almost from his first moment on the Midway, finds himself flung into the maelstrom of u very politically-con- scious campus, Not only is he immediately con- fronted with dormitory elections: but, during the frenetic campaign tor Student Government seats. the most apolitical are beleagured. cajoled, and threatened by unknown persons. on behalf of unknown causes, until their votes cue wrung from them in despair. and cast into iron boxes. whence they are later drawn to play their small part in an unknown result. But there are some Who prefer to be the organizers rather than the recipients of this barrage. and who invest considerable time in one aspect or another of the campus political scene. To the well-zounded young campus politico. the days of the week untold es chap- ters of cm endless. but ever-vurying story: on Monday. there are dormitory council and fra- ternity meetings: on Tuesday, Student Govern- ment: on Wednesday tduring the Winter and Spring Quarters ol odd-numbered yearsl, there is the All-Campus Civil Liberties Committee; on Thursday, fences must be mended in his house or in some smaller interest group which it is his duty to keep solid : Friday brings social activities sponsored by one of these many organizations; on Saturday. if the times are quiet, he can snatch cm evening of innocent merriment to: not so innocent. if he is among these whose dates are arranged in terms of building political strength in the women's dormitoriesl: and on Sunday, he must caucus in order to be lectured by his elders on the mistakes of the past week, and to prepare for the crisis which the coming week unfailingly will bring. The politico who survives two or three years of this activity will at last, it his nerves and brains prove adequate, graduate to the exalted tif often disporaqedl level of the politician. To these persons. often little known and conscious, ly sinister, in whose hands all wires converge, the election of members of the Burton-Iudson Council. of the Chairman of the Inter-Fruternity Council. of an SG President, even of :1 Wash- ington Prom Queen, are all parts of cm overall stream of political activity, flowing over sev- eral years, and discernible only to the master planners. To them, dormitories cmd fraternities, Right and Left. the Administration and the Legislature, and the manifold loyalties and vendettos bred by yems of close contact and rivalry, are lcctors to be weighed. interests to be adjusted or set against each others in the politi- cian's endless battle to consolidate the position of his cause, his friends, and himself. To these chosen tew. politics is no diversion. nor even cm education, but :1 life. Breakfast is a conterence to lay plans for the days activi- ties. Morning classes are less periods of instruo tion than an excuse for meeting people and having impromplu caucuses. The lunch hour is another hurried consultation. and the afternoon is devoted either to committee meetings or con- ferences and negotiations with the Administra- tion. If he has time tor dinner, it brings no re- pose to the harried politician. tor the converse- tion is ever the some, and in the evening there are the large meetings which must be per- suaded to adopt the decisions already taken elsewhere. Afterwards he adjourns with his colleagues is the T-Hut or Alexander's for the quiet. semi-relcxed hour of the post mortem on the evenings events lbut even now he must beware of losing touch with his fellow politi- cians, for a mcm absent is always in danger of being cut on the noble principle: out at sight, out of powerl. There, until the early hours of the morning. they lay plans for the days to come. and at last the politician goes home. tired, exhausted, but ever victorious-or on the eve of victory. It is the life 01 the perplexed voter, the aspiring poiitico, and the werld-weury but always iascinated politician which eni- mates the narrative of the following pages. 12.3 Student Government Martin Owns, Ptesidenl. Student Governmenl Student Government tSGt began its career in April. 1947, with the adoption of CI C0nstitu- tion by campus referendum. and the election Of the members of the First Assembly. Though the candidates had run as individuals. two nearly equal factions tot which one was based on the left wing of the American Veterans Com- mittee. and the Other was considered traterr nity t divided the offices between them. Len Stein, a member of AVG. was elected President. With the disappearance of the fraternity group before the October electionst the majority in the Second Assembly went to the surviving faction. which elected Lois Jacobs to the Presi- dency. The records of the Second Assembiy are dim, and little remained of it except mem- ories of Cr debate on the Czechoslovak coup of 1948, and on nonpayment of dues to NSA tot which we hctd become membersl But the April election of delegates to the NSF. conventions. which now became the second climax of the political year, gave four of the six delegates' positions to the majority group in SG. and the others to members of cm as yet unnamed mod- erate or middle-Of-the-roud group, based heavily on non-vetemns and residents of But- ton-Iudson. jHEpRUHTH or 5t udeat Government 6 Emr mend smaawj Assgrmry' 1948 ,. 1H $950 I 1950,51 smear My l15l-52.

The enormous ISL majority 01 the Third Assembly, led by President Alex- under Pope, and the specific plattorm on which its members had run. brought ct new note into SGethe NSA dues werelpcnd. c: student book exchange was crt last established. and. in gen- eral. the attention of the body was tecussed on the here-and-now interests of Chicago stu dents. In the April election. ISL won all of the contested seats. against a nameless group whose principal plank was NSA affiliation with the International Union of Students at Prague. perennial issue in NSA elections. The opponents of ISL, having evidently failed to convince the campus of the iniquities of political parties. themselves formed the Student Assembly Retorm Coalition tSAHCJ in October of 1849, but captured only 20 seats to ISL'S 55 in the tall elections. The new Executive Coun- cil, under President Frank Logan, contained Ct large majority of ISL members, but several seats were given to SARC representatives, in- dicating a certain lingering doubt, even on the part of ISL. whether the party division of cum, pcign time should be carried to its logical con- clusion of one-party administration of SG. The great achievement of the Fourth Assem- bly, apart from developing the service facilities of SG. was the negotiation of the Statute of Powers with the Administration, undoubtedly the most important single event in the history of SG. It had long been clear that a Student Government which deburred itself from de- bating the issues of the nation and the world could not long be confined to providing student services. important as these were. It SG was to become, in tact. a government, a specific grant of governmental powers was essential. and these could come only lrom the Administration. With the acceptance of the Statute of Powers and the Student Bill of Rights by the Ad- ministration and the student body. SG assumed the authority to recognjze all student organiza- tions, and to make regulations governing them, Subject to Administration vetol according to procedure laid down in the Statute. In the April elections of 1350. ISL wcrs ChCIl- lenged, not only by its usual opponents on the Left tnow calling themselves the Non-Purisun Students League INPSLD. but by another group. apparently to the Flight. known as the Liberal-Conservative Coalition tLCCl. ISL, how- ever, won 10 of the 12 seats at stake, losing two to NPSL because oi the number of moderate or conservative votes cast for LCC. By October, LCC had disappeared, and despite. or probably because of the vigor of the NPSL campaign, ISL won the largest victory ever achieved in cm SG election, capturing 80 out of 65 seats in the Assembly. Partly because of the magnitude of its triumph, ISL at last drew the conclusion inherent in contests by political parties. and, by assuming all positions on the Executive Council, enunciated the principle that the party which wins a majority of seats in the Assembly has the right and the duty to assume the ma- chinery of government in order to carry out the policies on which it sought office. . and Counting 127 128 The heart of these policies. as proclaimed in the campaign slogan of Student Government for Student Needs'l, was the service program. which the Fifth Assembly pressed on every front: registers for the use of commuters and interim travelers seeking rides or riders: re- organization of the financially uncertain Book Exchange; free distribution of NSA cards to all students, providing discounts in 4D neigh- borhood stores: distribution of Atlas Buying Service cards: openinq of a concession stand in Mendel corridor during every performance in the Hall; establishment of a Ticket Agency, providing tickets to campus and Loop events. In addition. the Statute of Powers was im- plemented by passage of the 14 Freedoms , Cl group 01 amendments to the Student Code and Regulations, and by the adoption of the so- called Michigan Plan. by which recognition would be denied to all campus organizations which, on October 1. 1952, were still governed by constitutional clauses excluding persons from membership by reason of their race creed. color, or religion Finally, SG took the initiative in establishing the Second Atl- Cctmpus Civil Liberties Committee. and the SG President. Roger Woodworth, was elected its Chairman. But important as this activity was in itself, the philosophers of the Fifth A5- sembly were convinced that the ultimate suc- cess of SC in its dealings with the Adminislrctv lion in such matters as tuition increases de- pended upon strong student support, and that the surest method to secure this support was for SG to reach out and touch the lives of the students at as many points as possible, in order to become a reality to them. rather than a vague and unknown debating society whose resolutions carried no weight with either stu- dents or Administration. From this point of view. though it initiated no negotiations with the Administration for further grants of power, the Fifth Assembly was consciously preparing the way for future concessions. The NSA election of April. 1951. gave ISL the 20 contested seats with pluralities ranging from 7'79 to 921 votes. as compared to 515 votes for the highest-ranking NPSL candidate. and the moribund condition of NPSL gave reason to believe that ISL might enter the October elections without opposition But the Adminis- tratients dismissal 01 Maroon editor Alan Kimmel at the beginning of the school year threw the party. as well as the campus. into CI severe crisis. The absence of significant ex- ternal opposition during the preceding year had inevitably led to the development of tac- tions within ISL and, when a majority decided to oppose the Administration's action a part of the riqht-winq of the party split off, and organized c1 new party, the Independent Couli- tion HQ. The survivors of NPSL for some rea- son did not Choose to take advantage of this schism; many probably even supported ISL in this election. But despite this reinforcement on its left. ISL won only 31 of the 59 seats at issue, losing 21 to IC, four to cm ephemeral group called the Union of College Independents rUCIJ, and three to independents. tickets Books The decision of ISL to adhere to its principle at government by the majority party meant than SG was to undergo its tirst real experience of government by one party, opposition by anotheri Though major constitutional progress lhrough negotiation with the Administration was practically ruled out by the circumstances of the Maroon case. the Sixth Assembly. under President Sander Levin. achieved CI number of notable successes in the service area, such as the Reynolds Club refreshment bar, the Educational Survey Commission, and a student exchange program with Germany. and, in addition, took several important political decisions: establishment of a Maroon board. to advise, without attempting to control the paper: recognition of the Labor Youth League by an overwhelming vote tconcurred in by all but two IC membersl; establishment of CI student-operated nondiscriminatory housing agency tor neighborhood rentals, on an under- standing with the Administration that the latter would close or reform its own tite it the SG agency proved successful. The dwindling importance of IC through- out the year was contirmed in the April NSA election. when it won only one seat as against ISL'S 19. The third contender. the Associated Students Guild tASGl, received a considerable vote. but no seats. The voting pattern of 1952. however, was remarkably similar to that of 1950. and. though the ioct received little at- tention at the time, ISL received considerably less than halt the total vote cast, even with- out a real party of the Leit in the field. ASG did not survive its first election. and the early weeks of the Autumn Quarter ol 1952 indicated a two-party battle between ISL. seeking its fifth year of oilice, and IC, severely weakened by its April defeat. but a serious contender in ISL's former bastion. Burtonqud- son. Both were to discover however. that the forces to the Lett which had been so severely defeotecl in 1950-51 had not been driven from the campus political scene, but had only taken a year's holiday trom the election battle. Two weeks before the SG elections, a number of survivors of NPSL. a qroup oi Maroon mem- bers. and certain divisional students who become concerned with the alleged nar rowness and triviality of lSL's policies, coa- lesced to form the Student Representative Party tSRPJ. Running under the banner of A free University in a tree society , SRP denounced lSL's do-nothing policies, and its unwilling- ness to deal with oli-campus issues. On elec- tion night it was found, to the surprise ol the three parties. that the tour-year reign of ISL had come to on end: with some 439-1: oi the votes cast, it had received only 21 seats; SRP. sweeping the divisions and schools, had won 25 seats with 3393 of the vote; and IC. with 24?; 0f the vote. won only three seats. though it ran second to ISL in the College. where SRP received no seats. The decision of ISL to adhere to the position it had adopted when in OffiCbtht responsi- bility for governing must go with the majority eleft SHP with the difficult task of building an Executive Council entirely of divisional stu- dents. Martin Orans, former editor of the Maroon . was the first SHP President, to be replaced later in the year by Julius Lewis. Under them, in addition to publishing the stu- dent directory, which was a legacy of the Levin administration. and maintaining some of the services set up by previous Assemblies, the Seventh Assembly initiated several student need projects, including a plan to sell text- books directly to students. and another to en- large the Reynolds Club snackbar to include hot meals. both of which were vetoed by the Administration. In the field of Civil liberties, a letter was sent requesting Clemency tor the Hosenbergs sentenced to death for atomic espionage: another letter protested the dis, German Exchange Studenls Ernst and Motlhiensen 130 StudenI.FuL'Ltlly-Adminlstwlion Court: fttsltces Comlield.

The dissolu- tion of 10 in December presumably restored the political configuration of 1950-51. but the ease with which SRP won an SG election in. the second week of its existence points to c: proliferation of political parties. The contest for the definition of SG's role. which seemed so definitely concluded in 1591, has been re- apened by the SRP victory. and the future of the student needs program, as well as lurther constitutional advance. will depend on 0 clearer settlement than has been given it this year, Since 1943. the focus oi campus political ac- tivity in the Winter and Spring quarters of odd- numbered years has been the successive ult- campus civil liberties committees. The first of these was spontaneously organized in the Winter of that year to deal With the investigcti tion of the Universny voted by the State House of Representatives after :1 number 01 UC stu7 dents and others had appeared in Springfield to lobby, in CI rather obtrusive manner. against certain qnti-subversive bills then before the Assembly. In 1951, when simiier bills Were introduced. Student Government took the initiative in organizing the Second Alt-Cumpus Civil Liber- ties Committee tPtCCLCt. in order to facilitate Q united campus program against the proposed legislation, which was widely felt to endanger academic freedom, and at the same time, to obviate the need for independent, possibly ill-- conceived action in the same area. Unlike 1949. the ties between SG and the special ACCLC were very close, and SG President Roger Wood- worth was elected Chairman of the latter. The testimony which the representatives at the Cemmittee presented in Springfield. and other work performed through the ACCLC, enabled the student body to make itself heard on this issue in the most effective and constructive mCIHTlE'l't The introduction of similar legislation into the 1953 session of the Illinois General As- sembly, and the simultaneous possibility of in- vestigation of the University by one of several Congressional committees, made the cutting of a third ACCLC more important than ever. After cm organizing meeting which tasted from 7:30 PM; until 3:50 AM. of the following morning, rules were adopted which were substantially the same as these which herd governed the second Committee, the greatest controversy centering on Rule 8 , which required that in dependent action by member organizations in the area of the Committee's activity be cleared with the Steering Committee or by the ACCLC itself. Matt Dillon, former President of ISL. was elected Chairman. and. despite much stormy debate in subsequent meetings, the body in general hots followed policies similar to those of its predecessor in 1951. Those who share the theory that the crucial political battles of any period are fought out principally,r within the party which is in semi-permanent ascendancy during that period, must turn their attention to the dynamics of the Independent Students League in order to understand the recent political history of the campus Founded in 1948 by a group of studenteeDet-nocrats and Republicans. liberals and con- servativesewho believed that Student Government should devote its attention to the practical needs of the student body, the party. in May 1950, adopted a Constitution which placed all au- thority in the hands of the caucusethe FULL MEMBERSHIPeand permitted the caucus to bind both leaders and members to follow the policies which it laid down for the whole party. It is this democratic control of the part3r by its membership which is a distinguishing feature of ISL. The resurgence of the Left in 1952. in the form of the Student Representative Party. and its victory over a much larger but divided moderate opposition. posed the question whether the hitherto ever-victorious ISL could survive in defeat. The decision to stand by its own principle of government by the majority enabled the party to keep its distinctive position sharply articulated from that of SRP. The party has therefore resumed its historic campus role: liberal in temperament. center in position. As the largest party on campus, and the most widely aseociated tas was proved by the active participation of its members in the All-Campus Civil Liber- ties Committee, which elected a former ISL President as its Chairmanl, ISL looks forward with confidence to the continuation oi its role as the champion of a sane and constructive Student Government. The Student Representative Party understands the student as a whole person with financial, intellectual, and moral needs. To serve the entire range of these needs through c00perative student action is the aim of the party. A few weeks before the 1952 election of Student Government, two student groups joined to form the nucleus oi SRP. The party was not born without further ditticulties; a platform committee stayed up night after night, cmd, though the final draft satisfied no one completely. the common feeling was that it far sul- passed the platforms oi the other two pazrties. The SRP platform proclaimed that a student cannot be free while his tellow-man is not, and insisted that SG. in the name of the student body, must strike out for freedom wherever it can be effective. A new slant on student needs also commanded much attention, and SBP outlined a bold program of student cooperatives. SRP'S entrance into politics brought out a record number of voters. who gave the majority of seats in Student Government to the new party. On the night of its surprising victory, SEP was awed, exhilarated. and Scaredeall but two of its divisional candidates had been elected, though all of its College candidates had been defeated. SRP therefore held an Assembly ma jority of one seat. At the first meeting of the new SG. the newly organized party found it necessary to assume all positions on the Executive Council. The achievements of the Seventh Assembly are discussed elsewhere in this book, but, in addition to its governmental activities. SRP has attempted to maintain close touch with the student body by leaflets explaining the action of SRP in and out of SG. 4 O .

Realizing a larger amount from its drive was a direct consequence of an intensive educational campaign which told the campus about WSSF's worId-wide service efforts. These include TB scmitoricxf youth hostels. dormitory systems, books. medical supplies, and clothing for students in areas where war or famine and pestilence have made study and normal uni- versity life difficult or impossible. The highlight of this year's campaign was c1 dance held in Ida Noyes Hall. The dance featured Iesh White and the music of Johnny Lewis' Orchestra and Sid McCoyt Because the costs were subsidized by the BI Council, the Dorm Council.

At first. work was carried on wherever space could be found.

In 1950 a twentYepound thrust motor using liquid oxygen cmd alcohol for fuel was constructed. In 1951. c: test stand for the motor was completed, and with the building of the control unit, tests were ready to begin. In 1952, the modifications thought necessary were completed, and another test run. again partially unsuccessful, was held near Indian- 144 apolis. A closer testing site was sought. and a small plot in Lake Forest obtained. A concrete root cellar was converted to an observation blockhouse, and CI clearing was made in the sunounding underbrush for the new test stand. The first tests were made on Ct bitter cold day in early Winter. At this test considerable progress was mctde in the problem of fuel de- livery and combustion. Following these tests it was decided to divide the society into two groups. one of which will be occupied with the design of a hundred- pourid thrust motor. while the other will con- tinue the testing of the smaller motor.

The Calvert Club The Catholic Youth Center at the University of Chicago is Culvert Club in the DeSales House on campus and Chiiderley . the coun- try retreat at Wheeling. Illinois. At these centers, Catholic students take part in an ex- tensive program. The Calvert Club recognizes the need of Catholic students to join toqether to deepen the spiritual. and enrich the temporal lives of the group through religious, intellectual. and social activities: to preserve its' integrity and to be nourished in the life 01 Christ; and to assist the University and all its students whenever possible. The Club is assisted by two chaplains who are always at the disposal of students. The program is as varied. attractive, and inspiring as the resourcefulness and zeal of the student leaders who plan and carry it out. The goal of the Club is the formation and development of a capable student leadership. The program consists of Open Houses at the beginning of each quarter. lecture series, com- munion. courses in Christian action and Cath- olic apologetics, seminars for students in Law and Medicine and regular Sunday night suppers. Quarterly retreats are held at Childerley . where the oft-ccrmpus atmosphere is wellv suited for discussions. prayer, and recreation. Students also find time for work projects at Childerley. as well as at DeSoles House. 155 156 THE YOU NG FRIENDS The Young Friends Fellowship is a campus religious organization of those interested in the principles and practices of the Society of Friends tQuctkersJ. It is CI loosely organized. and flexible group which has he regularly elected officers. The whole group outlines its own program each quarter, and members are chosen tor special duties as the need arises. In order to plan an adequate program. it was necessary to discover the needs and interests of the individual members. To that end the first discussion of the Fall Quarter dealt with the members' deepest concerns. religious be- liefs. and how those beliefs worked out in every day living. The resulting program reflected the wide variety oi interest and approach the group found in its members, racial relations, the Rosenberg Case. and academic freedom were among those problems investigated. Smaller groups concerned with civil liberties and with Spiritual exploration were formed. Public meet- ings on national and international problems were sponsored on cooperation with other groups. Work projects centering around the newly acquired Quaker House at 5515 Wood- lawn made the house available for square dances and parties. BAHA'I FELLOWSHIP The Baha'i Fellowship at the University of Chicago is an informal study and discussicm group open to all students who are seeking a realistic solution to the social and individual problems 01 our day. It stresses the necessity of an unfettered search alter truths and finds in the stirring his- tory and universal principles of the Bcthctii Faith Ct steadily-growing world-wide movement that seems to haveein the words of Oxford's Dr. lewetteWhe promise of the future . It recognizes as Ct basic reality the organic unity of mankind and seeks in .the amazinq lite and voluminous writings of Bahau'llah. Prophet-Founder of the Bahali Faith, c: key to the meaning of life today. Its weekly discussions in Ida Noyes Hall center abOut such Baha'i principles asimonothe- ism, the essential oneness of purpose of all the Founders of revealed religion, the fundamental purpose of religion to promote concord and progressive civilization, real equality of women, universal education. a spiritual solu- tion of the economic problem. the adoption of cm auxiliary international language, and pro- viding the necessary agencies for establishing and safeguarding ct permanent and universal peace. CANTERBURY CLUB The Canterbury Club on this campus is an organization of Episcopal students affiliated with the national group of the Episcopal Church bearing the same name and undet the direc- tion of the College Department of the National Council 01 the Episcopal Church. This group meets weekly and follows planned programs of discussion that are designed to include the several phases of religious thought pertinent to present day trends in education and churchmanship as they affect the life of Episcopal students and those others who are interested in the Anglican Communion as con- trasted with Other religious groups. Prominent speakers are invited to lectd these discussions Some come lrom the outside and some are faculty members of the University. Each, in his own field, is an authority, and the discussions offer cm excellent opportunity for a wide variety of thinking. The Canterbury Club has been fortunate to sponsor such promi- nent names as Mortimer Addler. T. S. Eliot. Bexncud Iddinqs Bell, and many others. The Club has c1 definite responsibility for the religious life 01 Episcopal students besides the endeavor to provide intellectual stimulus. Ectch Sunday and on feasts and feets the Holy Eucharist is offered in Bond Chapel. An op- portunity for fellowship is provided utter each meeting during Ct brief coffee hour. A member 01 the Episcopal Church Council, DI. locrchim Wach, is the faculty advisor. and the Rev. Dr. Bernard Iddings Bell is the spiritual adviser. THE LUTHERAN CHURCH At the University of Chicago there are two Lutheran student groups, the Lutheran Student Association and Gamma Delta, which work closely in presenting ct program of Christian faith and practice in the life of the Church. Friday night, Lutheran night on campus, brings ti balanced program on both intellectual and social levels. In addition, regular seminar and study groups are organized thtouqhout the year, ranging in interest from theology to social service. On Sunday mornings, c1 student congrega- tion meets for requlcxr worship at eleven o'clock in Hilten Chapel. The parish provides frequent opportunities lot Holy Communion C15 well as training in parish leadership, with a church council. parish meetings. and an alter guild, composed entirely of students. On Reformation Sunday. the Lutheran Coun- cil sponsors Chicago's Reformation Vespers in Rocketeller Memorial Chapel, one of the nu- tionls great liturgical ObSE'IVCII'tCEES. 7n 5 .I.

GILKEY FOUNDATION The Gilkey Foundation is the Baptist-spon- sored program of religious ministry to students in schools and residence halls in the Hyde Purk-Kenwood-Weodiewm area. The activities of the Foundation are expressed through the Baptist Student Fellowship and are centered in the Hyde Park Baptist Church. The primary function of these activities is to present to stu- dents the Christian faith its relevance for their lives and for the world in which they live. The scope of this church-reiated program in- cludes opportunities for discussion, study. wor- ship. social activity. and participation in week end retreats held quarterly. Stress is placed on the development of programs coming from the interest and needs of those participating in the group. Opportunities are provided for active par ticipation in the Church, in state and notional student denominational meetings. and inter- denominational activities on this campus. On Sundays the program includes the Breakfast Club at 9:15 AM. for food and discussion, and the Snack Club at 8:00 PM. for supper, recrea- tion. discussion. and worship. On Friday eve- nings from 7:00 to 10:00, on Open House is held for fun and fellowship after c1 busy week of classes. 158 METHODIST STUDENT UNION The Methodist Student Union is compus-wide organization of Methodists including the fol- lowing groups and activities: Dinner meelings each Thursday: The International House Sup- per Club; The Divinity Fellowship: and Methov dist Women's Club. In addition to the regular meetings of these various groups. this past year the Methodist Student Union sponsored c1 panel discussion on The Hidden History of the Korean War . The program was held in Breasted Hall and attracted over two hundred people. On May 17 cm Aldersgcte Festival was held in Roche teller Chapel to commemorate the hemt-wurm- ing'i experience of John Wesley. The Reverend Virgil A. Kraft, the Methodist Chaplain, also conducts a Methodist seminar for theological students who plan to enter the Methodist ministry. Other events of the past year include several week end retreats. the Chuplcrinis Open House sexies, and a regular Tuesday aitemoon Chewsduy Club . consisting of tea. tunes, talk. and a task in the Methodist Office Lounge. STUDENT CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION The Student Christian Association is an in- ternational organization of students seeking to discover the implications of the Christian faith tor the life of the student and to live in accord with this understanding. On this campus. SCA developed several years ago from the YWCA and the YMCA. It is associated with other organizations 01 this type through district. regional. and national Christian Associations. and many of the Chicago students take part in the work of these groups through conferences and conventions. SCA is related to the Univer- sity through an Advisory Board composed of faculty and business people and to other Prot- estant groups through the Inter-church Council. Like its parent bodies, the SCA is open to any student who wishes to participate in its activities. All that is required is cm earnest concern for the questions and claims of religion. It is our belief that through open discussion of such questions and claims and through work. ing together and enjoying recreation together we, with various backgrounds and religious commitments, may come to an understanding of CI deeper and common fcu'th. Porter Foundation In the spring of 1952 c merger was carried out between two student religious groups. the United Student Fellowship tCongregational- Christian and Evangelical cmci Reiormedl and the Westminster Fellowship tPresbytericznt. For its name the new group chose that of Ieremiah Porter, C! Congregational minister. active in Chtcugo in its earliest days. who founded the first Presbyterian church in the City in 1833. For its first year. pctrttculcr attention was paid in programming to an analysis of our ioith and some of its implications in practical life. Sunday evening programs along this line ranged from Christianity cmd Politics in 1952 to Wth Is Prayer and tram consideration 0t whether Christianity is simply c: part of the pattern of our culture to Why Do We Believe in Christ? .5. talk or panel discussion followed by personal discussion carried on in groups oi six or eight was found to be generally c: quite rewarding method. In the latter part of the year r1 more personal approach to our Christian con- cerns was substituted for the analytical one. But the Sunday evening discussion programs amount to only one aspect of the Fetlowship's activities. For those students who did not find their needs met by these meetings two other groups came into being: a couple's club for married students and an informal group for graduate students only. In addition first steps were taken this year toward the formation of a faculty group that would be affiliated with the student fellowship. And for c: large part of the year twelve or fifteen members worked an hour or so each week as leaders or assistants for recreation or interest groups at the Grace Community Center. Charming Club The Charming Club is Q group of university- age indiv1duals which exists in cm attempt to serve the tbroadly interpretedt religious needs of those who have little concern for the more orthodox religions. It provides its members with the opportunity of expressing their beliefs. During the past year we have made the experiment of the development of a group consciousness, developing the resources within the group. We believe that this type of program has been much more successful than those of prevtous years which attracted so many more people. Although not all of our members are Unitarians, we cne- cfhhcrted with that denomination, and we meet in Icahn Wool- mcm Hell of the First Unitarian Church 57th Street and Woodluwn Avenue. 159 160 0f? . fATHLETICS '2 $ ATHLETIC STAFF 162 Although many more contests were lost thcm won this year. the U. C. athletic policy's great redeeming quality was still very much in evidence: that 01 allowing men to participate because of interest rather than just ability. This is the heart 01 the value of the system here, for it gloriijes athletics tor satisfaction and the physical health so integral to a truly full lite. rather than Tcr'ixphold the honor of the Alma Mater . which has deqeti'ercxted into rank commercialism today in most schools. And so, although the teams are riddled with inexperienced competitors, this ctrncxteurism engenders ct spirit of iellowship and coopera- tion which is not found in schools that strive to win rather than enjoy. and where team mem- bers must compete Iiercely for a berth on each squad. The coaches. too, are more fully able to accomplish their task of teaching their charges the iundamentuls of the games be- cause they are never threatened with the im- perative of win or else . . Thus, in the final result it accomplishes the true aim of sports. 163 Chicago vs. Navy Pier February 11 Pep Rally Cheers 164 MaroonshSS 53 Navy Pier 165 BASKETBALL This yew the cagers had their most success- lui season in the past three: a 1-18 record. After attracting much publicity in the course of a 45 game losing streak. the Norgmen finally came through with 65-52 win. over the Navy Pier Illini before Ct wild crowd. the largest to see c: game at the field house in several years. Starting with a group of boys of varying ex- perience tscme with none at ulli and no re- turning letterrnen, the Mcroons slowly but sure- ly improved over the season. This portends well for next season. for most of the stalwarts of this year's squad are expected to return next yearwn infrequent occurrence around these parts in sports. Chief weakness of the team this year baside inexperience was lack of enough adequate reserve strength; the Mmoons were odwctys in the game until the last stages but when the first line tired. there was no one to spell them. High scorers for the season were: Dan Levine with 201 points: Chuck Iuby. with 160; Ed Le- vine with 153; and Bob Mann. with 147. These four men won Major C's. Large Old English awards were given to Hank Aukutowitz, Bo Auerbach, Bruce Colbyt Smoky Garcia, Lou Hamilton, Tex Horcm. and Dave Utley. Carl Frankel and Don Mozukelli received small Old English C's.

The game was paced by the pitching oi Len Britten and the hitting of Mike Gordon. The season Closed two games letter with a win over St. Joseph by the score of iive-tour behind Smoky Garcia. The Maroons won their first game in the Chicago College Tournament by edging Aurora College seven-six before suc- cumbing to Illinois Tech in the quarter finals.

In dual meets the boys won 3, lost 2A and tied 1. In triangular meets they took 2 firsts; in quadrilateral meets, thev won one and took a third in one and in the A class of the North Central Relays. they took c1 fourth.

The purpose of Intertmternity Council as stated in the constitution. is to regulate and govern their relations with one anothert with the University, and with the general public . . More specifically. the council is interested in rushing and pledging procedures where these activities aifect the fraternity system as a whole. The- Council is constantly examining and revising the rushing rules in order to help and to benefit both the rushee and the fraternities. There are other projects which the council undertakes, A formal dance, the Inter-Freter- nity Ball, is given annually for fraternity men. In cooperation with the Alumni Association. the council assists in the preparation for the LP Sing. This year the Council worked with other student organizationsisuch as student Forumu to present discussions relating to fraternities. to discuss community improvements with other living units in the neighborhood, and to plan with other social groups G social calendar which would more ettectively meet campus need and demand. - Members of I-F Council are elected by their 186 respective houses. The office of president is electiVe within the council. and the offices of secretary and treasurer rotate tircttemity-wiset in alphabetical order. This year Albert Sciuky was unable to complete his term 01 ottice as president. and Wendell Alexander was elected to finish the term of office. The secretary and treasurer under this administration were Arthur Heitley and Herbert GOI'I. Elections held in the middle of the Winter Quarter resulted in the election of Morton Schctgrin to the presi- dency and the selections of Ernest Levenstein and Thomas Green as secretary and treasurer. Due to the extensive differences in the Col- lege program at the University of Chicago, I-F Council has, from the inception of the Univer- sity's new plan of education. been faced with many problems 01 adaptation. Changes have been made in its own organization and over a period of years rushing rules and age limita- tions have been varied in an attempt to co- ordinate the functions of the fraternities with those of the University as cm educational sys- tem. I-F Ceuncil has been the centralized agency for the development of these changes. ,yHH ' Huey Alpha Deita Phi Ftrst How: Toliver. FuJJeL thdrncm. Hibate Cameron. K'Iooster. Sinnott.

An historian of a rival fraternity recently wrote: Beta Theta Pi's history is the story of a magnificent movement which. originating in the West tin 1839l. invaded the South, captured the East, and in 1379 grasped undisputed leadership of the Greek fraternities. Since 1925. when the Survey was first begun by the National Inter-Fruternity Council, Beta Theta Pi has led the other great notional trotemities in scholarship every year except one. Beta Theta Pi, first fraternity at this university, was also the first fraternity to publish its constitution. to establish its own magazine, to employ the now universal district administration. and to pioneer in many other areas of importance to fraternities. On this campus, Beta has had a highly successful year under the excellent leadership of brothers Vic Andrews and Bob Horcmt The social program was, as usual, rounded, firm. and fully packed. The Betcr candidate reigned as Queen of the InterrFrcrternity Boll. A Christ- mos party for the Settlement children lelt them happy and the brothers in high spirits One might characterize this year's all campus party G5 the open house to end all open houses. Betcr's athletic program has been highly successful. Among this year's dinner guests were Chancellor and Mrs. Kimpton, Dr. Honyord West, mcmy professors and other guests Always strong contenders. the brothers hope to climax the year with victory in the Inter-Frqternity Sing. 190 Delta Upsilon Fast How: Zollys.

Delta Upsilon took part. D. U. provided leadership tor Inter- Frclemily Council, fer Campus Politics. and for the religious and social life of the university while at the same time maintaining the only new secret fraternity on the campus as c: thriving organization. D. U. was a leader in fraternity sports, winning more often than not. Their partiest which included the now-Iamous Prohibition and the spirited Parisienne, allowed not only soaiai relaxation. but also provided cm opportunity for alumni to keep contact with the active chapter. Occasionally these parties are highlighted by singing, which may account for D. U. having won the Quality Cup at the Inter-Frcxternity Sing. Affiliated with cm in- ternational organization founded in 1834 and of Which there are 72 member Chapters. D U. takes pride in its part in developing the unique fraternity system here ct! the Umversity of Chicago. 193 Phi Delta Theta First Row: Smaltzt ScolteldA Jeep . Howe.

This year, Phi Delt has made its mark in many different aspects of fraternity activity. Socially, the winter qucuter saw u Pledge Dance put on by one of the largest and most active pledge Classes in many yearst It wcxs a great success as was the 'JLust Blast at the end of the quarter. One special feature of this year's social life was the series of Monday evening mixers with the Women's Clubs which everyone en- joyed greatly. The annual Phi Delt open house, the Silly Strut , was the main social event in the spring This year it was U Go to Hell party. and the sedate chapter house on Woedtcwn became every- thing trom interno to Seventh Heaven. Everyone had CI good timeh especially the cmqets . Illinois Beta is proud of its scholarship record, ranking first among alt chapters of Phi Delta Theta. and second among all chapters 0t 0111 fraternities in the notion. They barely missed being first in the nation, being becllen by anothet University of Chicago fraternity, Phi Sigma Delta. In the field of sporls, the Phi's are well represented.

Lust Spring Chi Upsilon Chapter of phi Gamma Delta began its second hait-century on the University of Chicago campus by carrying 011 the tradition of the Grass Skirt Party? With the house completely decorated as CI tropical isle the Fijis and their dales had c: fabulous time in grass skirts, sarongs, and other remnants of Shipwreck. It was Closely followed by parties with Psi Upsilon and Phi Kappa Psi beiore time was taken 0th to get in Shape for comps. The Fijis held their Golden Aniiiveiscry celebration on Alumni Day during the time-honored Pig Dinner'i with Chancellor Kimptmi and Dr. Andrew Wyant. the university's first elected football captain, as guests of honor. , This year the Fijis, in collaboration with the Quads cmd Manor Boards. held their seventh annual Christmas Party for forty Children from the U. o! C. Settlement House. Besides participating in all inter-tratemity athletic events, Phi Gamma Delta has mcmy men occupying key berths on varsity teams gymnastics, basebalit basketball. track. swimming. and fencing.

Phi Psi has had its share of social events. During the current academic year there have been parties, dances. steak fries and the like on many week endst In recent years an Esquire party to which the Whole campus is invited has been CI tradition of the fraternity. Phi Psi has also sponsored such functions as Ct lecture by Charles Bell of the Humanities staff on Medieval Music This year the fraternity has provided room and board for Hans Ernst, cm exchange student from the University of Frankfurt. The Ar- rangement has proved more than successful for everyone concerned. Hans has been made cm honorary member of the fraternity. Although not equally interested in all sports, the Phi Kappa Psi's managed to place second in the fraternity league during a hotly con- tested basketball season. Phi P31 is perhaps unusual in that the Chapter does not force or oblige its members to participate in events if they Choose not to do so. Individuals find privacy and ample opportunity to study. Phi Psi's feel that they have been able to do this without sacrificing the many social activities of the fraternity. 198 199 200 Phi Sigma Delta The red stone at 5525 South Woodluwn Avenue is the home of the Mn Chapter of the Phi Sigma Deltc: Fraternity. Last fall the chapter acted as hosts to more than 200 Phi Sigs from over 30 chapters at the National Convention. Every spring the Strawberry Festival Open House complements the InteI-Frcrtemity Sing. Costume bails and dinner dances highlighted the social activities of the year as they have in the past. A series at concerts and lectures Open to the campus was sponsored. The Phi Sigs as C: group par- ticipate in campus intertraternity athletic competition, while some of its members are active on varsity teams. During the academic year 1951-52 the chapter placed first in the listings of the National Inter fraternity Scholarship Committee. and has twice won the scholarship award on this campus. The names of Phi Sigma Deltcms are to he found on the rosters of all intextraternity and campus activities. Drawn from all departments of the Unlversity, the brothers represent :1 diversification of ideas and abilities which make fraternity a meaningful term. 201 203 Psi Upsilon First Row: J.

As usual the Psi U's excelled in sports, appearing prominently on the varsity teams. The undefeated intramural touchball team won the university championship. Next, the fraternity became the swim- ming chumps of the campus. With four Omegqmen en the varsity team ineligible for intramurals, the basketball squad could do no better than tie for first losing in the playoffs: however, the brothers bounced back to win the fraternity track meet.

A fine rushing season brought the membership total to sixty men, the largest number in Alpha Beta's history. Its members have been active in all walks of campus life, Student Government, Student Union, the Law Review and ether honoraries, the ACCLC. and several athletic teams. One of its benefits to the secial and cultural life of the campus were its concert featuring the first prize winner at the Paris Conservatory last year: its main- tenance of u ZBT scholarship fund: participation in the WSSF dance, and other charitable and religious drives: and its annual open house The traternity is proud of the many physical improvements to its chapter house in the past year. Some of these included: a new oil burner, new rugs and furnishings, complete Iedecoruting. and some architectural alterations. Some highlights of the past year were ZBT'S increased strength in intramural sports. the winning of the Washington Promenade Lawn Decoration Cup for the fourth straight year. end its many enjoyable social and cultural functions. 204 206 Inteertub Council The first women's clubs originated as early crs 1894 for both academic and political pur- poses. The members quickly discovered that the clubs held an important place in their social lite. As soon as the political situations were resolved, and the academic tite was taken care of by the Great Ideas at Mr. Hutch- ins, they turned their energies toward serv- ice and social activities. Today the crim 0f the women's clubs is to provide opportunities for warm friendship which comes from the close association found in a small group. The members find in their clubs c1 common meeting ground for their in- terests and activities. These range from sup- porting cr wcrr orphan in c: foreign country to the annual InterClub Council contributed ti- nunciul ctid which helped make it possible for an exchange student to study at the Uni- versity: Inteerlub Council has also sponsored WSSF, the Red Cross, CARE. lectures, and other cherri- tuble organizations. The method of sponsorship varies from standing on cold street corners with collection cans to standing over hot steves cooking for benefit dinners. The annual Christmas party for the Settle- ment House Children sponsored by the Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity, The Quedranglers. and the Mortar Boards, was described by Dean Strozier as the biggest social service event of the year at the University . Other clubs have similar service activities. Socially speaking. Inter-Club Council spon- sors the Inter-Club Sing in May, two formal dances. and lends support to other student activities. Monday nights are often the occasion for crtter-meeting club-fraternily mixers, although this kind of mixing is not limited to Monday nights. Picnics. Mother-Dcughter teas. pledging. theater partieseall have their place in a club girl's life. Inter-Club Council is the coordinating body for the five clubseChi Rho Sigma, Delta Sigma. Mortar Board.
