Often a yearbook becomes, in the words of Shakespeare's Sonnet CVI, a hchronicle of wasted time? Assum- ing, though, that such an ordered pair b5 tUniver- sity of Chicago, 195-01 evinces an interesting point in some peoples history, a plotting in pictures and words does have its uses. This University, this year, is celebrating an anni- versary: that of the founding of the old U of C. And the Cap 8: Gown celebrates its 50th publication. The purpose of a yearbook intends among other things that it have a theme. We wanted ours to be a com- parison of uthen and now. But we, too, are limited. We found we could not. So the theme of this book is the entirety: some new sections; some revivals of old sections; the writing; the ideas. Of course, all depends upon what schools are for and What books and people are for, but that's just semantics and not really ontology, after all. In the long run it Will be found, by and large, that when granpap gums his aged way through a bunch of sour grapes he shall verily spit seeds as far-reaching as the third generation. The Yoricks are on the grass, alas, and the fatts in the fire, and so we did it, and here 1t 15.

As the phrase is applied: to each individual his due. Of course it is nor for us to say whether 01' not Dean Robert M. Strozier is a saint, but it is undoubtedly the feeling of all the members of the University that the Dean of Students deserves the utmost credit and honor given to a man. The academic term just ended was Mr. Strozierhs tenth year as Dean of Students of the University. To commemorate this anniversary, the Iron Mask socie- ty presented to Mr. Strozier a cup bearing the elo- quent dedication, Tor having survived with distinc- tion where to have survived is an honor. There is surely reason to express to Mr. Strozier Our deepest gratitude for his superior service. 6 The U 7160673262 Chancellor Lawrence A. Kimpton Administration A modern-Gothic monolith, the Administratioa Building stands today as the effective center of the campus mace Mr. Rockefellerl Everything con- cerning every student and teacher, every action and change, every matter of money or morals, every- tlaz'a-Ig must run along passages of red tape which begin, end, andXor synapse somewhere within the approximately eighteen million square inches of floor space in the Administration Building. The head of the organism is on the fifth floor. From this base the jobs of initiating, planning, cor- relating, recording, and integrating the immense complex of actions and interactions known as the University of Chicago are carried on by Chancellor Lawrence A. Kimpton and the five Vice-presidehts tDean 0f Faculties, Business Affairs, Special Scien- tific Programs. Development, and Special Projectsl In June, 1956, Edward L. Ryerson, retiring 3t 70 from the chairmanship of the Board of Trustees, performed his last public act as chairman by taking spade in hand and effeccing the groundbreaking for the new womenhs dormitory. The Administration Building m AboveeReth-ing Chairman of Board of Trustees, Edward L. Ryerson; SideeRe- partee between the Chancellor, Ryerson, and Glen A. Lloyd A trustee since 1923 and Chairman since June, 1953, he became an honorary trustee and continued his work with the University as chairman of the steering committee of the Universitfs campaign for $32,700,000. Ryerson was awarded an honor- ary LLD. as an . . . industrialist, humanist, and humanitarian, who, in the true spirit of all these capacities, exemplifies dedication to the progress of his time. As chairman of the Board of Trustees, Ryerson was succeeded by Glen A. Lloyd, 21 University alum- nus, who has previously served as president of the Law School Alumni Association. Recently elected members of the Board of Trustees are J. Harris Ward texecutive vice-president of Commonwealth Edison Companyi and John F. Merriam ipresident of Northern Natural Gas CoJ. Money not only talks, it walks, sings, builds, de- stroys, liberates, enchains, saddens, and delights. On the first floor of the Administration Building is located the center of money matters: the Bursar's thce. The Bursar tpronounced With two strong syllablesi is Albert F. Cotton, and with his two assistants, Madeline G. Irwin and A. Wayne Gies- man, he oversees the operations of bookkeeping for student fees, check distribution, and so on. The uOffice of the Dean of Students is a tricky title, implying as it does one office and one dean. In actuality this complex of operations has more effect on the studentas life than any other single unit. Under the one Dean of Students of the Uni- versity, Robert M. Strozier, the oFHceii is a multi- plicity of offices which record and regulate the ac- 10 Registrar William E. Scott tions of all students lfrom high-school prospects to post-Ph.D. researchersl in all stations le.g., bOth potential draftees, and real veterans are consideredl in every way. There is one Associate Dean, John P. Netherton, and three AssiStant Deans, Mrs. Ruth 0. McCarn, Robert C. Woellner talso Director of Vocational Guidance and Placementl, and William E. Scott lalso Direcror of AdmissionsJ Working under Dean of the College McCrea Hazlett are the twen- ty-thtee advisers to students in the college tSenior Advisers: John C. Mayfield, Russell B. Thomas, Margaret Kraemer, Donald Mciklejohn, and Wil- liam C. Bradburyl. The position of Associate Dean was created this year, and to fill the vacancy left by Netherton as College Dean of Students, Hazlett was brought up from the English faculty. Stephen B. Wood remaincd assistant Dean of Students in the College. When Scott switched from his position as Regis- trar to that of Director of Admissions, young David L. Madsen, once assistant to the Registrar, took his place. Part of the work of the Registrar's OHice is the keeping of permanent records, receiving and sending out transcripts, Ievying registration fees, advising on selective service, planning and execut- ing Central Registration, and regulating Convoca- tions. For last year only Dean Strozier acted as Director of Student Activities, with Mary Alice Newman as Looking from a diEerent angle at regular transaction being made between John Lyon and cashier, in the Bursarls Oiflce 99 3g ' N 9.3: Jog ll?

At the beginning of this year Mrs. Newman assumed the whole responsibility as Director, and Director of Housing Allen Austill iwho was director of Admissions and Placement at St. John's College before he came here in 1955i took on added work as assistant Director. A 101: of phrases originate at this University and are abbeviated here: 0MP, SSA, FTF, SG, ISL, SRP, B-J. . . . There has come, though, from the outside, three letters: IBM, which have ceased to represent any agency except the Exmineris ofiice. However inaccurate be this mechanistic concept, students incorrigibly think of the Examiners, OfEce as operated by machines or some kindred form of inhumanity. That this proposition is false is demonstrated every year when Examiner Benjamin S. Bloom ap- pears to say some words of encouragement to enter- ing Students. Associated with Bloom in the Exam- ineris OEICE are Supervisor of Research Hugh Lane, Allen Austill, Director of Student Housing Lionel Holmes, Bookstore guide to be- wildered students, works over the records uDlBBS ON THE com WHEN YOU'RE THRoueHP Director of Public Relations, William V. Morgenstern George H. Watkins, Vice-Ptesident in charge of Development Assistant Examiner Eleonora J. Kaufmann, Col- lege Examiner Knox C. Hill, and Divisional Ex- aminers Myles Friedman, Roger Pillet, and Get- trude Weisskopf. The two subsidiaries of the Dean of Students' Office which are concerned with physical matters are the Student Health Service and the Department of Physical Education. Director of Student Health is Dr. Henrietta Herbalsheimer, who oversees the work of some 14 physicians and a psychiatric social worker. T. Nelson Metcalf retired last year as Di- rector of Physical Education, and chosen to take his place was Walter M. Hass, former football coach. Hass is also chairman of the menis physical educaction program; Edith Ballwebber is chairman of the women's program. Although not centered in the Administration Building, that part of the administration which deals With the library system is as nearly important to the people here as the Bursaris ohice. Under the general supervision of Library Director Herman H. Fussler, the library system of the University is divided into two parts: Readetsi Services Division tunder Stanley E. Gwynni and Preparations Divi- sion tunder John M. Dawsom. 13 I4 C urriculum : 33 i: g' ; Physical Sciences If the physical world is founded on the back of a tortoise which is supported by a dozen elephants which are held up by two strong muumains, those mountains are named Chemistry and Physics. A great number of Chicago students Choose to scale those heights, first, just because they are there, and secondarily because, in this age, the realms of in- dustry, medicine, and the military receive their vi- tality from the physical sciences. Besides chemiStry and physics, the Division of the Physical Sciences also includes departments in astronomy and astrophysics, geography, mathemat- ics, meteorology, and others. Added to these are The Institutes, as they are called, tThe Institute fm- the Study of Metals and the Enrico Fermi Insti- tute for Nuclear Studiest which present advanced studies in the more recent developments obtaining in the physical sciences. Courses in the Division range from the august, ethereal heights of 499 tResearch for Post-Ph.D. Fellowst to a rather pedestrian level referred to as Elementary Glass Blowing.

Counted among the lam; e: penates of the Fermi Institute are a 170-inch syn- chrocyclotron, a lOO-million-volt betatron, and a 400-kilovolt Cocktroft-Walton accelerator.

The death of a beloved figure, the adminis- trative Odyssey of the Dean, and the Block gift were a few of the more striking happenings. The passing of Anton J. Carlson, professor of Physiology, known to his students and colleagues as AjaxK was a great loss to the University and t0 the scientific world. Dr. Carlson? work in mam- malian physiology, his co-authorship of the text Machinery 0f the Body, and his advisory functions in such governmental agencies as the Pure Food and Drug Administration established his national prominence. But Ajax's appeal to those who knew him was of a different sort. He was a personality of a very special kind. His most famous question was Vot is de eHidence? In arranging class hours, he avoided conflicts by conveniently scheduling Dean of the Biological Sciences, L. T . Coggeshall in a conference isidei, and with his wife tabavei 19 Histology class in the Anatomy Building 20 Bu'l' I HEARD HIM, DR. PARK! HE msrmcrm smo, tTAKE ME To YOUR LEHDE RV meeting times at 7 a.m. Dr. Carlson often had to face the cries of the antivivisectionists. He si- lenced one wealthy matron who had eloquently pleaded the cause of antivivisectionism before a legislative body by merely pointing to her mink stole and asking, Vet is dot you are treating? Dr. Carlson's four-score-plus life was one from which the Division had the great fortune to benefit. L. T. CoggeshaIle trip to Austria to observe the Hungarian refugees climaxed a two-year period of service as AssiStant to the Secretary of Health, Edu- cation and Welfare. The Dean returned to the University on a full time basis early in 1957. The problems facing him were numerous, but their common element concerned the maintenance and development of the Division as a great center of research and teaching. A unique aspect is that the Medical School is an integrated unit of the Divi- sion. The absence of sharp barriers between clin- ical studies and basic research is f ndamental to the advance of medical science, fokxample. The Block bequest of over $17,000,000 Will do much to provide the financial framework in which the Division can continue to fulfill its unique func- tion. Considerable construction work lies ahead. Drexel Avenue will be closed and a building will connect Billings Hospital and Lying-in Hospital. This will permit expansion, for instance, of the Department of Psychiatry and the extension of the research laboratories of the Department of Obstet- rics and Gynecology. New housing facilities for residents, interns, and student nurses are being planned. Similarly, the basic sciences 0f biochem- istry and physiology Will be aided by the antici- pated remodelling of Abbott Hall. In the fmal analysis, the future strength of the Division rests not merely upon its physical facili- ties, but more so on the greatness of the faculty. From the Bachelorts level up, the Division endeav- ors to provide the stimulating framework in which the students Wiljl develop into men that shall prove equal to the exciting problems that lie ahead in the biological sciences.

Elder Olson, a professor of English, has pub- lished in the past few years a comprehensive study of the poetry of Dylan Thomas, and a book of his own poems called The Scarecrow Christ. Another member of the English Department, Richard G. Stern, has had several of his short stories published in magazines. Leland Smith, a member of the Department of Music, can count among his compositions a sym- phony and a musical setting for e. e. cummingsi morality play, Santa. Claus. During this Year he received the $1000 William and Noma Copley Foundation award for distinguished accomplish- ment in the held of music. Besides the Ideas and Methodsii Committee, there are six other interdepartmental or interdivi- sional committees: General Studies in the Humani- ties, Comparative Studies in Literature, History of Culture, Far Eastern Civilizations, Archeological Studies, and Medieval Studies. 23 Social Sciences Dean of the Social Sciences, Chauncey Harris It has been said that a characreristic of an age of turmoil is an extensive quantity of social analysis. In this age, surely one of turmoil, there has been a development of serious social thinking, coupled with the insight-research method of the sciences, producing a body of intellectual investigation ap- proximated by the term social science. The So- cial Sciences Division of the University is concerned generally with problems of the nature of the hu- man being, his ideas and institutions, the complex relationships between him and his fellow human beings, and the nature and extent of his action and reaction to the world. The social sciences were, it may be said, many before they were one. Certain of them, such as his- tory and political science, are in some ways as old as civilization; others, such as socioiogy and psy- chology, are comparatively new pursuits. Many of these sciences are not yet crystallized suihciently to place them in any one department of knowledge, as is evidenced by the facts that the Social Science Division shares the study of hismry with the Hu- manities and the study of psychology with the Bio- logical Sciences. At a considerable advanced level in the Division one finds interdepartmental committees 0n Human Development, International Relations, and Far Eastern Civilization iwith the Humanities Divi- sionJ Among the personnel of the Division of the So- cial Sciences there is a constellation of some of the most famous thinkers of modern times. There are 25 anthropologist Robert Redheld, and sociologist W. Lloyd Warner, whose research projects have delved deeply into the American social system. Dr. Frank H. Knight given the high-sounding title Morton D. Hull Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus of the Social Sciencest is recognized as one of the worldts most brilliant economists. Among the members of the Department of Educa- tion is Dr. Bruno Bettelheim, a professor of educa- tional Psychology and principal of the Sonia Shank- man Orthogenic School. Sociologist David Riesman has become recog- nized tboth in most esoteric circles and the popular presst as a penetrating analyst of the American character as well as a scholar of the hecumenicalh sort studying football, movies, and televisionl Hans J. Morgenthau and Herman Finer are both weIl-known political scientists. The Rise of the British Coal Industry, The United States and Civit- ization, and The Universities Look for Unity are, all three, books by John Ulric Nef, who is also chairman of the Committee on Social Thought. A conference on Educating the Gifted Child was held in Judd Hall during the Autumn Quartet. 400 administrators and educators were present to hear speeches on the problem and participate in discussions. Concluding the conference was an ad- dress entitled hWhy the New Concern for Educa- ting the Gifted? delivered by Clarence Faust, president of the Fund for the Advancement of Edu- cation. 26 27 Dean of the Law School Levy Law William Rainey Harper said that an education in law implies a scientiftc knowledge of law and of legal and iuristic methods. These are the crys- tallization of ages of human progress. They cannot be understood in their entirety Without a clear com- prehension 0f the historic forces of which they are the product, and of the social environment with which they are in living contact. A scientiflc study of law involves the related sciences of history, eco- nomics, philosophyethe whole field of man as a social being? Born from this idea, the University of Chicago Law School beCame in 1902 an organic member of the general University community. Since that year the Law School has been progres- sing in all manners of research and development. There are programs of research in Law and the Be- havioral Sciences, Comparative Law, and consider- ations of Law-Economics. Resulting from there and similar studies have been laws and renovation in the Chicago City government, Illinois State gov- ernment, and the us. National Government.

As the School emphasizes, the city of Chicago is itself an excellent location for getting an education in business, as it is the most important terminal market and railway center of the world and a ganglion of business activity. In addition to the program on campus twith its center in Haskell HalU the School maintains an identical program in a downtown school. The years 1955e57 was the time of the thirteenth group tsessiom in the Business School's so-called Executive Program. Members of this group came from a wide range of financial, industrial, and charitable organizations. tSome titles in the group: Deputy Director of Research and Development, Offlce Procedures and System Consultant, Sales En- gineer, Price Analyst; plus a squad of Lieutenant Colonels from the Army Ordnance Corsz Ezra Soloman, Associate Professor and Editor of The low- nal of Business 29 Social Service Administration Helen R. Wright retired in July, 1956, after serving the School for a quarter of a century as professor, and twenty years as Dean. Upon retire- ment, Miss Wright went to Munich for the meeting of the International Cenference of Social Work and on to India for a two-year assignment as chief of a technical assistance team, working with the Indian schools of social work. The School was very fortunate in securing Alton A. Linford to succeed Miss Wright as dean. He is not new to the School. Since 1945 he has been a valued member of the faculty, teaching courses in social security, public welfare and administration. He also holds tWO degrees from the Schoolethe A.M., received in 1958, and the Ph.D., awarded in 1947. Newr faculty members are Mary E.

During the 1920:. three Other denominations moved their schools to the Quad- rangles, and in 1943 these three joined the original Divinity School to prepare the Articles of Agree- ment of the Federated Theological Faculty.

In back of the group: Howard Winger 34 College There was a time when a student in the College could receive an unspecialized Bachelofs degree for having taken jusr the fourteen College courses then offered. In recent years, however, this award has been supplanted by degrees which signify com- bined work in the College and in the Divisions as well. The undergraduate student has a choice of the type of program he shall pursue, his choice be- ing influenced both by the particular area of his work and by the approach, scholastic or commer- cial, he takes toward his held. Certain innovations begun in the administration of the previous Chancellor Robert Maynard Hut- chins, still remain, either in the original or in a vestigiai form. Class attendance, though still not required, is strongly recommended to most students in the first stages of the undergraduate program. The diSCussion method, which varies from time to time and from teacher to teacher, is used to aid the student to form his own ideas and methods w, m.tk i. 6 .3? Adv Dean of the College, Robert E. Streeter from a body of selected readings. In some of the College courses guests or faculty members present lectures concerning either the material at hand or parallel information. The comprehensive examination system is still the sole manner of quantitatively gauging a stu- dentis achievement, although at the end of .the hrst two quarters, advisory grades are given. This year saw the initiation of a program which requires that a Student must qualify to take the comprehensive by not receiving a failing grade for both quartetsi work. This qualification was established in recog- nition of the fact that many students were neglect- ing to some degree their College courses and were not taking the quarterly examinations. These peo- ple, it was found, gave a markedly inferior perfor- mance on the comprehensives. The only new courses added this year to the College program were alternative history studies in Chinese, Indian, and Islamic civilizations, which 35 Cobb Hall, home of many College classes.

The undergraduate program of the College of the University of Chicago is geared to preparing an aetively thinking and thoughtfully aetive citi- zen of the world. This kind of preparation is given in three major departments, the Humanities, the Social Sciences, and the Natural Sciences, With ad- ditional studies in English tempesition, mathemat- ics, foreign languages, and courses of integration. This procedure makes it posible for a student to continue work in a more specialized area in the graduate divisions. In addititm to his College and Divisional work, a student is permitted to partici- pate in certain elective courses.

From laboratory hida to library Mattom 02dstanding Faculty of the Year It mus: be admitted that the faculty plays a part in the University of Chicago. And a great part in the lives of the Students. But for many years awards given to the faculty were not acknowledged by the Cap and Gown. This year, we are including undergraduate teaching awards that were given this year to four members of the faculty in the four different helds: Natural Sciences, Hismry Human- ities and Social Sciences. Also. we would like to $L I060 class honor a few of the members of the faculty for their accompliShments. These people written about in this yearbook were chosen arbitrarily either for a job done over a period of years or for an accom- plishment that took place during this school year. XWe could have included almost any number of people in this section. but as I said before this was an arbitrary thing and tricotomies seem to be all the rage this year. u A h 0 WV 1:11 h in L 1W Faculty Awards Font annual $1,000 prizes given in recognition of excellence in undergraduate teaching at the University of Chicago were awarded last June by Chancellor Lawrence A. Kimpton and by the donor of the endowed prizes, Ernest E. Quantrell of New York City, alumnus and trustee of the University. Unique in American education, the Llewellyn John and Harriet Manchester Quanttell Awards for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching were established in 1938. Mr. Quanttell established the prizes to encour- age and reward outstanding teaching, contributing to preparation of students for participation and leadership in such general pursuits as business, civic, and professional life. Many forms of recognition and prizes exist for faculty achievement in research, but outstanding teaching is generally unrewarded in American edu- cation, Mr. Quantrell pointed out in establishing the fund. Winners of the Awards for 1955-56 are: Harold J. F . Gall, assistant professor of natural sciences in the College, member of the faculty since 1947, who teaches in the biological sciences. Mr. Gall also is known for his research work on plant growth. Christian W. Mackauer, associate professor and chairman of the College hi5tory Staff, who teaches the general course on Western Civilization. He came to the University of Chicago in 1945 from the University of Frankfurt, Germany. His special scholarly flelds are ancient history and the sociol- ogy of religion. Joshua C. Taylor, assistant professor in the C01- Iege and the department of art, who teaches hu- manities on the College. A member of the faculty since 1949, his special interest is the history of art. Mrs. Rosalie H. Wax, assistant professor of an- thropology in the College, member of the teaching Staff for the general course in the social sciences, whose special area is social and applied anthro- pology. Chancellor Kimpton bestows the Quantrell Awards on Rosalie Wax, Christian Mackauer, Harold Gall, joshua Taylor m , 41 Maynard Krueger 42 Community Advisetae is the phrase to best de- scribe Maynard Krueget, Associate Professor of Economic. A long-time faculty adviser in the Cola lege, Prof. Ktueget has also been the key man in the formation of civic organizations in the Univer- sity community. He is the preSEdent 0f the N orthwest Hyde Park Redevelopment Corporation, and serves on the board of directors of the Hyde Park-Kenwood Community Conference tMrs. Ktueger is a diteCtor of block organizationsL the Hyde Park Co-Op, and the Fifth Ward I.V.I. His activities in local polities have resulted in groups such as the citizens committee which selects and supports a citizens candidate for the alderman- ship. Within the University, he is elected to serve on the Council of the University Senate and is a member of many of its committees. The schedule enumerated above results in seven nights out of the week of meetings and conferences for Prof. Krueger. One of the flrst men consulted when local problems arise, t or when a job needs 1:0 be doneL his counsel and unceasing efforts reflect the foresight which has made Hyde Park a national leader in community redevelopment. Leonard Meyer Seldom, if ever, have we seen in the New Yorker Magazine a rave review of a book. However, in the January fifth copy, the article in the music section by Winthrop Sargeant was entitled Light, and if the title was seemingly optimistic about the book, the review, itself, glowed with an aura of worship. Mr. Satgeant said that obviously, music has some- thing to say, but that up to this time, in his opinion, just what this something was had been discussed by romantics, mauled by rhetoric, unfoundedly hy- pothesized On by theorists, 0t discussed by those who were bafHed and frustrated. He used the phrase up to this time because he had just received a book that attacked the question with both thorough- ness and understanding as well as clarity. After hav- ing read the book, Emotion and Meaning of Music, by Leonard Meyer, he said he firmly believed that he had never found another work on the subject of musical aesthetics as outstanding and important as this. Mr. Meyer, who is an associate professor of music at UC, used. according to the review, phi- losophy, psychology and musical theory. As a result, the book, complicated as it is in thoaght process, might be difficult reading for someone who was just doing light reading. However if one could carefully follow it, Mr. Sargeant felt that the problems sur- rounding musical meaning would be cleared up and that musical meaning would no lenger be en- shouded, vague and invoived. Wye feel that this accomplishment of Leonard Meyer tin our estimation the teacher most able to make humor 3 part Of teachingi was one that de- serves honor. But we feel more strongly that his greater accomplishment was that succeeding in a harder role, not oniy shedding light, but at the same time remaining vitally interested in and happily a part of his Classes. This is a teacher who deserves the name. 43 44 CLOISTEE CLUB BRAND :5 u, w p ,. A1 19 r45, 63:?

Stenn, Rosenberg, Houston, Barnett Orientation Board Some people come to the University knowing very much about the program, the system, the ar- rangement, the procedure, the layout; others come not knowing anything about it. For the latter group, the Orientation Board carries out its pro- gram of making the entering student familiar with and comfortable in the University neighborhood. The most important part of Orientation Week is, of course, the placement tests. The time not given to placements is devoted to looking around and listening and meeting people and generating the embryos of away-from-home habits which can last for the rest of a life. Dotty Hess tcemeri leads an advisory con- ference with Dean McCrea Hazlett 0:0 Ike lefti 47 The simplest function of Orientation Board is to acquaint the new students with the University sys- tem physical 1y. This is the category of guided tours about the campus, speeches by various plenipoten- tiaries, and the bazaarulike Activities Night. A much more involved function assumed by the Board has been introducing the entrants to a liber- al education. This year's entering class heard Robert M. Street- er, dean of the College, desaribe, explain, and justi- fy the nature of the College program. Within the latitude of general liberal education, Dean Streeter described in piscatorial metaphor the tW'O danger- ous extremes: overatomized specihcity tminnowst and bebemothian generality tMoby Dickh then E; ohlco t aro Bob Haiasz, Bill Brandon. and Norm Lewak discuss Maroon policy at Activities Night Dave Zimberoff, Gary Stoll concerned with an Organization whose name should be obvious. 48 John Avery,Hetb Hahn, Dotty Hess, Don Middle mad. rigbt-Rosemary Gallies 1890 costume for C 8c G seemingly Mlller, and Sue Jacobson discuss accivi- amazes Editor Houston, Ray Inman and Jan Metros.

On the day following Dean Streeteres speech, the entrants met in small groups to discuss the lib- eral education Which had been described to them, with especial reference to the discussion method as it is used in the College. Volunteer members of the faculty led the discussions. Earlier in the week, everybody gathered for a picnic behind Ida Noyes, where they were wel- comed by Chancellor Kimpton. Orientation Board, Chaired by Janice Henson tnee HubkaL did such an impressive job that they received applications from about seventy people for service on the Board for next year. Student Government According to a National Student Association pamphlet on student governments: W . . tto the studentt success in obtaining a new fzrrzction means prestige for Student government, but success at maintaining the fztichitm efflciently over time does not mean prestige? Thus can be seen the two possible roads of suc- cess a Government could take. They could do well the jobs they already have or they could get new jobs to do. The fltSt probably gives the members the self-satisfaetion of a job well done; the second would give the satisfaction of increased prestige for the Government. SG members this year had a tight to be satished on both counts. Under the leadership of President Donald Mil- let, a group of non-political politcians within ISL were able to gain control of SG. tThe Independent Student League had gained a 24 seat majority over the Student Representative Party in the fall elec- tionJ They managed not only to raise the prestige of 56 by revamping the Government F'obtaining new functionsh'h but also to uefficiently maintain the texistingt functions. A Commission 011 Student Government, headed by Sylvia Thompson, probed into the physical set- up of SG and came up with many proposals for improvement. Included in the commissiouhs report Bruce Latkin, former UC student and now USNSA vice-president in charge of Inter- nation Affairs, visits with Don Miller Dean R. M. Strozier at the S. G. reception Don Miller USU, president of Student Government was a more efficient split up of committee duties, movement of the SG elections to the spring, stabi- lizing of the Assembly, and a new method of bill presentation. The commission also looked into the possibility of adding representatives of the living groups and perhaps other student organizations to SG, gaining jurisdiction over the caiendaring of social events, having a voice in the formulation of disciplinary statues, deciding on the budgets of student organ- izations, and extending jurisdiction of the court to all student organizations. Meanwhile, the existing functions were being run by the standing committees. The chairmen did the things that they should do-and more besides. Herb Zipperian 0f the Student Needs Committee checked the books of the Publicity Service for the first time in the memory of the services manager. David Orlinsky 0f the NSA Committee started a fund raising drive for the perennially starving Frankfurt exchange Students. David Freifelder and his Student Faculty Relations Committee did an evaluation of the new college degrees, of compre- hensives, and of college and divisional curriculum by means of questionnaires.

Mandel Hall was the scene of the plenaries, while varied other buildings were used for the commission meetings. Ida Noyes was kept open 24 hours a day and was constantly astit with the activ- ity of typewriters and mimeo machines. All was not businesslike, however. The N SAers were here in convention, and after the days busi- ness was done, conventioneer they did. Parties pre- vailed at various places in the neighborhood; the Point was discovered to he the place to go on a hot summerts night; singing at the picnic in Hutch- inson Court seemed to one pessimist to foreshadow what a UC pep tally of the future would look like. Joe College had returned to UC--but only for ten days. 52 Members of Chicago delegation jam Metros and Butch Kline discuss a point brought up by visitor john Saada UC was represented at the Congress by a dele- gation of Eve delegates, five alternates, and ten second alternates. At the spring election 19 of the 20 elected were ISLers. Jan Porter, the sole SRPer elected, had led all Other candidates in the number of votes. However, Miss Porteris absence in India necessitated the filling of delegates seat with an alternate. The UC delegation was instrumental in the merging of the Illinois and Wisconsin regiOns of the Association into one region. The Chicago schools profited greatly, as the geographiCal center of the new region is now in Chicago. UCers were active in NSA throughout the rest of the year as well as during the Congress. Clive Gray, former SG president, finished out his year as NSA vice-president in charge of International Af- fairs at the Congress. He was succeeded as International Affairs veep for 1956-57 by Bruce Larkin, a member of the UC delegation. Aiding Larkin this year on the Inter- national Cornmission were Gray, Al Janger tfor- mer Maroon editori, and Jerome Gross. Gray served as an administrative assistant to the commission representing NSA in such far-Hung areas as Austria and Ceylon. In Austria he was con- cerned with refugee Hungarian students; in Ceylon he attended the sixth International Student Con- ference. A plenary session chaired by Ray Farabee, Great Southern Region.

This year, for the hrst time, Student Union sponsored Beaux Arts Ball, a part of the gala Beaux Arts festival of Spring Quar- ter.

Besides its obligation to publish the facts, a newspaper, and especially a free weekly, must aiso be interesting; under the editorship of Ronald Grossman, the 1956-7 Mamet: was surely interest- ing. Probably the most interesting of this year's Ma- room was the issue about the gag issue that never existed: SEIZE MAROON GAG ISSUE! After two weeks of publicity hinting at an off-color gag issue, the announced Monday dawned without any Ma- room on the stands. The perplexity of the students was solved CU the next morning when the issue hit campus telling of the seiZure of the 'hgag issue by the administration. Stag members were kept busy answering the phones all morning. By afternoon, however, most readers had discovered the fact tprinted in small type in the mastheade that the Tuesday issue was the gag issue. This year's most extensive development of the Maroon was in the feature department. Two or three recurrent columns were addressed to a steady audience. One of these, called hGadHye, gave ample space to various commentators who concerned themselves, for better or worse, with what wasX is wrong with the University. Of these, the best-in- formed and best-written was an extensive exam- ination of the Development thce, signed Pettinax. Another space, called Culture Vulture', listed quantitatively and qualitatively the artistic goings- on in Chicago. Since the quantity tand qualityt of news report- ing remained about the same as in years past. the increase in space for features was indicative of a general increase of space. This was the result of an increased amount of ad sales and a decrease in the expenses made possible by the business staff: Gary Mokotoif and Larry Kessler. Norm Lewak went to more SG meetings than some SG members, and used both pictures and words to describe the stroboscopic vicissitudes of ISL's version of what gevemment should act like. Rochelle Dubnow assigned the stories, covered the stories and wrote the stories. The range and nature of the editorials indicated that the staff was more curious than prejudiced and more artiCulate than vehement. Only occasion- ally was a nonexistent word t like tbiannuam used and very few infinitives were put asunder: due to luck or care of the staff, the English language came out of its experience With the Maroon staff pretty much unscarred.

Gown Students of the State College of North Carolina are compelled to pay $17 each for their yearbook, which comes almost two inches thick from the work of a salaried staff. The University of Chicago is, in one way, a freer institution. The yearbook staff works virtually for free, and the students can choose to buy 3. Cap 5' Gown or let them rot. Freedom. We gripe not, though. Anything is worth doing for no money and no honor and no friends. The question, of course: is a yearbook so worth doing? Should a person indulge in such extra-curriculiana only with one eye on the folks back home and one eye on the Committee on Scholarships and Fellow- ships? Probably; but there must be a noble reason somewhere. . . . . . . Wherever the noble reason is, Wherever the premise lies, the conclusion, anyway, is that you will find there are several people who seem to get something from messing around with India ink, paper-cutters, typewriters, cameras, publishers and the like. And they do produce something: annals. Annals of what went on during one particular year at one particular school: mostiy trivia, pure and simple, and so yearbooks are useless. The heart has reasons the reason cannot know, they say. .

Student F 0mm Resolved, that Elvis Preslefs tHhund Dog, marks a healthy return to the use of public invec- tive in the United States, was the opening sally of the year for Student Forum. The 600 people that stomped and booted and sometimes even cheered the miscellaneous and largely irrelevant remarks on the subjeCt by Profs. Mark Benney and Reuel Denny and Messrs. Earl Medlinsky and Don Mc- Clintock were an indication of the growing interest in debate and speech activities on the campus. Chicago-styie debate began to make its mark in the Midwest during 1956-57. Bowling Green and Case Institute followed Ohio State in inviting Chicago teams to visit for the purpose of helping them set up a humorous debate program similar McClintock gives instructions to begin- ners Uidel, and corrects veteran debate: Richard johnson mbor'et to the one at Chicago. The rise of humorous style debate had its effect also on formal debate on campus. As a result of renewed interest, the Forum welcomed the largest turnout of aspiring debaters in recent years. All in all, some 45 people participated in speech events of one sort or anathet. The tournament schedule for the year was high- lighted by the Cherry Blossom Tournament in Washington D.C., and Forum debaters partici- pated in a hos: of lesser tournaments throughout the Midwest. The Forum also enjoyed its busiest year in activi- ties Other than debate. In April, some 30 students from high schools in the Chicago area gathered at Chicago for the first annual University of Chicago Extemporaneous Speech Contest, and the follow- ing week, 100 of the best frOm all the Big 10 uni- versities converged on U.C. for a thtee-day Con- gress to diSCuss American policy toward Com- munist satellite countries in Europe. The visit of the combined British Universities debate team and the Student Forum awards ban- quet closed one of the Forum's busiest years.

In 1955 UT presented Mandragola, a comedy written by Niccolo Machiavelli, Whom most of us thought of as a statesman and political writer or even as the murderous Machiavel. Continuing this rather custornary praCtice of presenting unfamiliar works, the Theatre in the Autumn Quarter performed 3 Shaw comedy, The Simpleto-rz 0f the Unexpected Isles, and in the Win- ter Quarter gave a peripatetic reading of Loveis Comedy by Ibsen. The Ibsen tragiecomedy was part of the annual UT series called Tonight at 8:30, which also included a performance of ChekhOVhs The Marriage Proposal, The High Schoolh tan adaptation of a story by Sholom AleichemJ and an Original play by Martha Silverman which she adapted from her short story, All Menbs Troubles Come in Bed? Later in the series was a musical Martha Silverman and Palmer Pinney in UTs production of This Property is Condemned by Tennessee Williams review with words by John Meyer and music by Bill Mathieu, beth College Students. The review was a burlesque-satite sort of thing called Pheasant Under Glass. Also presented as part of the Tonight At 8:30 sequence was a one-acter by Tennessee Williams called tThis Property is Condemned, Ring Lardnefs 'Dinner Bridgef, 'Fergus by Chi- cago poet Ruth Herschberger, and the Pyramus and Thisbe scene from A Midsummer-Nigbfs Dream.

Written by Barney Blaketnore of the Federated Theological Faculty, the musical comedy starred Charles W. Wegener of the Hu- manities Division, with Chancellor Kimpton fea- tured as a UNIVAC operator tUNIVAC having taken over the UniversityL Mrs. Donald F. Lach acted as producer for the third time, and the presentation was directed by a hfth grade teacher in the Lab School, Raymond Lubway, the first local man to direct the show in several years. Rehearsals for both cast and Chorus line began late in January, and it was noted that the average age of said chorus line was a profound 26. The show included some slapstick tshowing 1.. Kimp- ton and R. Daley falling overboard into the Mid- way CanaD and some satire tmentioning football and a little mythology. Some other cast members were Dean of Students, Robert M. Strozier, Gros- venor Cooper of the Music Department, Radio Di- rector Ned Rosenheim, College Dean Robert E. Streeter, Historian Louis Gottschalk, and Librarian Leon Carnovsky. B lackfriars The Blackfriars began at the University of Chi- cago during the nineteenth century as a society for men engaged in producing an annual musical com- edy. The productions at the beginning were gen- erally farcical in nature, later becoming more like the general tradition of college musical comedy reviews. There was a corresponding society for women called Mirror. This phoenical activity went the way of all feathers in 1942. Blackfriars rose from the ashes in 1955, and be- gan inow with men zmd women togetherl to work on a new musical comedy, Gamma Delta Iota, which was given in April, 1957. Music for the show was written by Doug Maurer, with book by Phil Coleman and Mike Hall. Leading roles were taken by Hal Levy and Carol Klein, supported by Dave Adams and Alice OlGrady. Working this year on a budget of less than $1,000, Blackfriars could this year hope for the return of the good old days, when the budget was, at one time, around $10,000. In keeping with the monastic metaphor of its name, Blackfriats has a generaI-producer called Abbot Uohn Rolketl and a general-director yclept Prioress iLyn Ballantynel.

The Band, Which began by playing at basketball games, acquired in 1955 a conductor in the person of Louis Lason, 0f Calumet High School. The Band now gives concerts 0n the Winter Quarter and during the Festival of the Artsl of original band music, band scorings 0f orchestral music, and school songs.

Collegium M usicum The Collegium MusiCum, founded in 1934, is a chamber orchestra for presenting works of dif- ferent local and little known, as well as well known, composers and operates in connection with the Bond Chapel Choir, the second Sunday of every month. The orchestra is again of its optimum size -14 members.

Students, too, are provided an opportunity to ring bells under the aegis of the Societas Campanorium, whose members serenade the campus daily from the Alice Freeman Palmer chimes in Mitchell Tower. According to campus rumor, pigeons and even some squirrels have been driven off campus by the din. 73 University Choir The University Choir, under the direction of Director of Chapel Music Richard Vikstrom, fut- nishes the music for Rockefeller Chapeles regular Sunday services. Its members constitute a highly seleCt grOup of about 50 per50ns including stu- dents, faculty members, alumni and neighborhood residents. The Choir augments its performances in the Chapel with a radio program, The Sacred Notef on WBBM.

Under the direction of William Diehl, the Glee Club presented a concert for Christmas and an in- formal concert late in the Winter Quarter; they also participate in the Fesn'val of the Arts. This wide realm of concerts demonstrates the latitude of William Diehl, director of the Glee Club, stops to make a point the Glee Club's activity, in that they sing sacred and secular music at formal and informal concerts given at various times during the year. The Glee Club was founded in 1950, originally a part of the Charming Club. In 1952 it became an independent organization, and has since functioned as a musical and social group for the pleasure of its members and the entertainment of the campus at large. 75 Musical Society Ann Kish working with Leland Smith on a question of interpretation The UC Musical Society continued in its hvewyear tradition of presenting chamber music recitals t0 the music lovers of the campus and neighborhood. These free performances featured not only mem- bers of the Society but also faculty members and Outside guests. Leland Smith of the UC music de- partment continued his assodation with the Society by giving a performance of his own sonata. Mr. Smith is the composer of the opera Santa Claus which premiered in Mandel Hall in December, 1955. Some of the other artists who performed this year were Jeanne Bamburger, Anne Kish, and Pauline Lederer. r .. Vt : hf - ,x'tr. U I t K ' I a r, '; r : . . 1' , u. ,l-4Inl, . .

Since it is open to Coliege and Divisional stu- dents, the Society serves to soften the transition from the former to the latter: a problem which has often been meted.

Through the cooperation of its thirty-eight member nations, WUS contributes to- ward international understanding and the reali- zation of a world community. To do its share, the U.C. WUS Committee spon- sored a fund and educational drive in November. Sundays during the Autumn Quarter, the commit- tee held pizza work parties. The outcome of the meetings were posters, a sign for between the trees, and three thousand letters to commuting students. A display in Mandel corridor and in the Bookstore, plugs over WUCB, speakers at club meetings, and direct solicitation in the dormitories and of faculty members completed the approach of the committee. The total contributed was $1,000.

Nu Pi's Owls, and Serpents at cocktails before famed celebration of the St. Valen- tineis Day Massacre: Eliza Houston, Lynn Chadwell, Athan Theoharis, and Jim Camp Nu Pi Sigma The activities of womenis honorary society Nu Pi Sigma were the same as any other year until February 14th. This year marked the twentieth anniversary of the St. Valentine's Day massacre, and the gallant members of Owl and Serpent in- vited Nu Pi Sigma CiNu Pi to its friendsi to cel- ebrate the occasion. After cocktails in the luxu- riously furnished quarters of Owl and Serpent, the Nu Piis were driven to an undisclosed destination. Though some of the girls were heard to express doubts after driving fifty miles, the destination was legitimate: a sporting club in a rural area south of Chicago. It was too cold for sport, so the Owls and Serpents limited their after-dinner amusements to winning all the money in the slot machines. The party was considered a huge success by all except, possibly, the gambling Syndicate. Nu Pi Sigmas have not lost hope of obtaining a room for themselves, though none materialized this year. The society did manage to draft a new constitution, one feature of which allows members to remain active for more than one year if they stay on campus.

It was founded in 1896 to recognize undergraduates who were making considerable comribution to the University through accomplish- ment in extra-cnrricular endeavor as well as by scholastic excellence. Today Iron Mask is a secret honor society for undergraduate men. Each spring it induCts into its ranks a small number of College men who have served the University in manifold activities. Although, as a society, Iron Mask is almost com- pletely honorary tin the sinecure sense of that WORD it is assured that the members, as individ- uals and as members of working groups, have benehtted from having attended the University, and that the University has benefitted from their having been here. In the Autumn Quarter, Iron Mask honored its sponsor, Dean Robert M. Strozier, at a dinner, and in the Winter Quartet similarly feted Bursar A1- bert F. Cotton.

Alpha Phi Omega was founded at Lafayette Col- lege in 1925. The Chicago chapter, Gamma Sigma was active from 1939 to 1946 when it became inaCtive. Having 290 active chapters throughout the United States and Hawaii, APO is composed of College and University men Who are or have been previously aHlliated with the Boy Scouts. Its pur- pose is to develop friendship and promOte service to humanity. Acn've chapters throughout the nation have sponsored book exchanges tthe APO book ex- change at CCNY handles 20,000 books per semes- ter, maintain a lost and found service on campus assist at registration provide tours, act as non- partisan ballot counters at student government elecrions and many other activities which fall un- der the category of service. APO members help out in local and national charitable campaigns: for example March of Dimes, CARE, and Community Chest. The Yale university chapter frequently sponsors blood bank drives for the Red Cross. Being a service fraternity, APO crosses all lines of honorary, social and professional fraternities and members of other campus fraternities can and d0 become active in APO. Requirements for membership are a previous afhliation With scouting, and a desire to render service to others. The chapters do not have houses but instead they maintain an ofhce on the campus andfor a place to hold meetings and social functions. 89 90 .011 Religz 92 Porter Foundation meeting in Swift One of the salient scandals of the American re- ligious situation is that area of action which is based on the grand principle: If a person is in church, he is with God. It is this idea which has prompted social gatherings, ping-pong games, yo- yo tournaments, and has served directly to destroy any remnant thread of effective faith among some American youth. It is fortunate that, by and large, religious grtmps on this campus have successfully segregated fun from faith and can still pracrice a great deal of both, to good purposes. The nexus of all campus religiOus activity is Rockefeller Memorial Chapel. As said by the donor of the Chapel, 'l. . . the University in its ideal is dominated by the spirit of religion, all its depart- ments are inspired by religious feeling and all its work is directed to the highest ends. Each Sunday a service is performed in the Chapel, with a talk delivered by Dean john B. Thompson, other mem- bers of the Theological Faculty, or a visiting lec- turer. Two other members of the Chapel staff, James R. Lawson and Dr. Heinrich Fleischer, offer almost weekly concerts and recitals at the carillon and or- gan, respectively. Richard E. Viksrom, director of Chapel music, has presented during the past few years a number of major concerts with accompanie- ment by members of the Chicago Symphony. The first of this yearhs such concerts was a performance of HandePs Messiah given on December 9. Several student-faculty organizations give to members of various denominations opportunities for fellowship and discussion. Among these are the Baptist Student Fellowship, The Christian Science Organization, The Porter Foundation Kongrega- tional, Evangelical and Reformed, and Presbyteri- am, The Disciples Student Fellowship, Canterbury Club tEpiscopaD Society of Friends, Bhnai Bhrith Hillel Foundation, Lutheran Student Association, Methodist Foundation, Calvert Club I:Roman Cath- olid, and Channing Club tUnitarianL Each of these groups presents, for the campus at large, several varioas intellectual and social activi- ties. One of these is the annual William Ellery Channing lectures, dealing with contemporary The Young Friends at work, gathering Clothing for distribution abroad through the American Friends Service Committee 93 94 Baa: in Brent House problems. Hillel presents every year a Hanukkah party, the well-known high point of Which is a long debate-symposium, The Latke vs. the Ham- antash: Their Metaphysical, Political, Historical, Sociological, Anthropological, etc, Implications. For all Christian students there is the Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship, which functions as an inter- denominational, evangelical organization to en- courage various sorts of fellowships with Chrisr.

Hass was the Director of Athletics at Carleton College and was the head coach of Chicago's fledg- ling football squad this year. Along with the new Athletic Director came a new emphasis on athletics at the U. of C. Many small colleges have already sent letters to the Ath- letic ofhce requesting that football games be sched- uled with them next year. Coach Nels Nergteh, lithe best punter and most consistent ground gainer in the cOnferenceil accord- ing to the 1913 Cap 8: Gown, and one of the great- est athletes and coaches of the U of C, retired at the end of this year. Alumni Day was called Nels Norgren Day and two hundred alumni gave Nels a standing ovation as ita remarkable playern and a remarkable coach. Kyle Anderson, Assistant Director of Athletics, also baseball iand footballl coach, played on the football, baseball and basketball squads before joining the staff. Kooman Boychetf, Director of Intramurals and Golf coach, played football, bas- ketball and baseball at Oberlin and Michigan. Jo- seph Stampf became the ditecror of JV Athletics after many pro-basketball offers. This is the first year that JV Athletim will refer to college athletics on a junior varsity level instead of University High athletics. U-High will have its own separate program centered around Sunny Gym and any early entrants tthe number is rapidly di- minishingl Who wish to participate will have to go there. Alvar Hetmanson, the fencing and soccer coach, is one of the best three weapon coaches in the country. Bill Moyle, Coach of tennis and swim- ming, coached at Bradley and U.S.C. before coming to the U of C. Edward Ted Haydon, peerless leader of the U-High, track team, Varsity track team, Cross country, and the University of Chicago Track Club, was a member of UCs track team in the late 19303, has an M.A. in sociology and was a social worker before he returned to his alma mater to coach.

Used flashbulbs littered North Field as reporters for Time, Life, and the local newspapers publicized Chicagds pigskin progress. Directing the squad were Coaches Hass, Bjork- lund, Kreidler and Anderson. Under their tutelage, the athletes buckled down to make up in effort what they lacked in experience. The results were a well-played scrimmage against North Park Col- lege, and a gallant effort against North CentraPs more experienced team. The North Park scrim- mage was notable in that it marked the first Uni- versity football activities on Stagg Field since the war. Over 250 students, many with pennants, ttpacked the stands, and there were occasionally more photographers than players on the gridiron. The quality of Chicagohs play reflected the teamts determination. Time after time, Werner spiralled the ball to Lusk 0r Sexton in long 20,25 yard passes. Backheldmen Couzens, Michalik and Lester ground out short yardage. In the line Kindtek, Dixon, Mal- kus, Griffith and Clay played outstanding ball. Chi- cago was more than a match for the North Park squad, which Hnished the season with a 3-3 record. Although both teams scored twice, Chicago played superior football. The Maroons were the underdogs in a scrim- mage against tough North Central College a week later. The heavier players and long experience of the opponents made decided inroads into the Ma- roonis game. This was the final scrimmage 0f the season; a scheduled tussle with the Navy Pier Illini was can- celled because of injuries and weather. The team members turned in their uniforms with expectations of a larger and more formidable schedule next year. Some of the more visionary players look forward to the hypothetical day when the class Will become a genuine team, and mighty men of the Maroon Will regain for the University the glory of the golden age of the gridiron. 99 Track The shot is balanced; now to be put 100 Coach Ted Haydon giving last-minute in- Structions to Walter Perschke and George Karcazes After a sea501fs record of sixteen wins and one 1055, in 1955-56, the track team this year had little hope of equalling or bettering its record; The team suffered losses in all the Field events and also in the hurdles, however, it was considerably strengthened in the dash and coach Haydon expressed his belief, early in the season that this years squad would be as good as any Others. Its only losses during the indoor season were to Kansas State and Western Michigan and to power- ful Eastern Michigan and Central Michigan squads. U of C Track Club men were in the Holiday Meet, Chicagoland Open, UCTC Invitational and UCTC Invitational Relays as well as the National AAU Indoor Championships in New Yorkls Madi- son Square Garden, The Milwaukee Journal Games and the Daily News Relays. Members of the UCTC who were on the USA. Olympic team in 1956 were: Phil Coleman, Ted Wheeler, and Ira Murchison. The world record of 207.0 for the 70 yard clash was tied by Varsity run- ner Al Jacobs; and the Varsity record in the 880 yard relay was broken by the relay team of Hosea Martin, Al Jacobs, George Karcazes and Brooks Johnson. The Varsity record in the 2V2 mile distance med- ley relay was broken by the quartet consisting of Bud Perschke, Pete McKeon, Art Omohundro, and Charlie Rhyme. Out of nine dual meets and one triangular, the Cross country team won nine and lost one. They beat Northern Illinois, Wright Jr. college, Univer- sity of Wisconsin lMilwaukeel, Southern Illinois, Bradley University, Western Illinois, Wabash Col- lege, Valparaiso and Albion College. They lost only to Michigan State Normal and Loyola Uni- versity. Art Omohundro took first in all ten of these meets for an undefeated season. He also had won the last six out of last yearls seven meets, giving him a string of sixteen consecutive victories in in- tercollegiate cross country competition. UCTC also took first in the UCTC 5 mile run, second to the New York AC in the National AAU 10,000 meter Cross Country Championships and firs: in the Central AAU 5000 Meter.

Billy Lester tnumber 14l as Navy Pier men and John Anderson tpartially hiddenl go for a rebound vantage was Captain Billy Lester, who broke his own varsity scoring record with a 42-point tally against Aurora College. Billy ranked high in the nation in scoring, his game average at the time of the 15th game being 26 points. Team offense was, of course, built around Les- ter. Pearson and Dewitt were also consistnet scor- ers, Pearson setting a new freshman varsity record of 30 points in the Aurora game. Both are fresh- men, and should give the few Chicago basketball fans many a thrill in the next three years. Also out- fighting their taller opponents on the boards were Andersou and Rodnitzky. With the exception of the Navy Pier game and pep rally, crowds were non-existent save for the usual Psi U turnout and a handful of others. The team itself was spirited, and the bench contributed greatly to the team morale. The team was hampered by injuries: Wood, Wolff, Anderson, Dewitt, Pearson, Green and Rod- nitzky all had to spend some time on the bench. The best games were the 105-58 defeat of Aurora, the 70-63 loss to Wabash l the Maroods traditional last-quarter rally was not quite enough to save the gamel, and a 55-47 loss to Elmhurst with Pearson on the bench. Alumni Day this year was Nels Nor- gren Day. Sparked by Pat Page, the alumni gained their usual victory over the varsity. Outstanding veterans were Joe Stampf, Dunk Hanson, Jan Geocaris, and other U. C. greats.

No one house dominated the sports scene and the competition for each of the Autumn championships was intense. Mead took the trophy in the major Autumn sport, touchball. Mathews, Coulter, Vincent and Salisbury were burly fighting teams with Coulter rated as the team to beat at the beginning of the season. While these four teams saved their main efforts for each other, underdog Mead squeezed through six of its games by narrow margins to eke out their upset victory. Final Mead record: 6-1-0. Individual stars were Billy Hines and Gary Pearson for Mathews, Dave Weitzman of Coultet, Nick DeMerriil of Salisbury and John Page with Leigh- ton Slattery of Vincent. Coulter relinquished the swimming champion- ship for the hrst time in four years- Vincent House ducked all opposition with 52 points. Other scores: Mathews 22. Coulter 191 Dodd 10, Salisbury 5. In- dividual champions were Gernort tVincetm 40- yard free Style, Zagotski tDoddt 60-yard back stroke, Meyersberg tVincenU 60-yard breast Stroke, and Zagorski tVincend in the 100-yard free style. Vincent also won the IEOeyard medley relay anl the 160-yard free style relay. In the last event of the Autumn Quarter, Vincent won the ping-pong title. Competition for this honor languished this year, only four teams competing. Other teams were Salisbury and Coulter. Intramural action in the Winter and Spring Quartets are track, handball. squash. badminton, volleyball, softball, tennis, golf and horseshoes. Although Coulter relinquished its monopoly on College House League trophies this year, Psi U re- mained the New York Yankees of the Fraternity and Divisional League. The Psi U A squad mopped up the opposition, including Psi U B, to take the touchball laurels. Other good teams in the competition were AKK and Phi Kappa Psi. Wayne Mahood, Bill Weaver, Butcher Abeles, Mo Philon and Wendell Marumoto were the star individuals of the season. The exception to Psi Uhs rule was provided by ZBT when it came from behind to win the swim- ming trophy. ZBThs Bill Salem was the individual standout. ZBT also appeared to have the Ping-Pong title in the bag when they won the singles event 4-2; but the Psi U's, sparked by Roy Lavick, Rob Kirby and Herb West, swept the doubles 3-0 to win their vic- tory. The Winter quarter was Psi U!s own. Its teams played basketball as if they had invented it, taking first place in the Fraternity League and the All- University competition. Defending their title, Psi U A19 played their only. close game against second-place Phi Gamma Delta, retaining their Fraternity League trophy. ZBT also Eoored a good team, and star individual players included Antonik, Gaynor, Frankenfeld and Snyder. The outstanding basketball team was the Psi U Outlaws, Which took two titles, and tied for a third. In pte-season play, the Otulaws trounced Psi U A? the defenders, and good teams from Mathews, Psi U and the Law School. Colby, Watson, Carlson and Snyder stood A Fifi comes in just ahead of Psi U Mo Philon out on the boards. The Divisional League race ended in a three-way tie among the Psi U Outlaws, the Barristers and the Tigers. In the AIl-University play, the Outlaws poured on extra energy to defeat the defending Barristers, the Psi U A's, Coulter and the Tigers. The tense fmal game was won by a last-second shot placed by Coach Headlights Hill. Not content to rest on its cage laurels, Psi U took the track award from Phi Kappa Psi. The Phi Psfs were hurt by the loss of their star sprinter, Dave Currie, but managed to finish second ahead of a strong team from Alpha Delt. Among those chalkin g up good times on the Cinders were Philon, Frankenfeld, Karohi and Gaynor. John Lopez in the shot put WAA.

Rossnet, Marv Kaplan, Joe Ellis, John De Meull, Laurence R. Veysey Since last yeafs changes in the council constitue tion, the general gevernment of Burton-Judson has been in the hands of a council of the eight house presidents. The formal object of the council has been the deciding of policy on the use of common rooms, which comes down to supervision of the weekly movies, the hi-fl set, the television, the rec- reation room, the candy machines, the laundry room and cleaning service, darkroom facilities, and the Snack Bar. Inheriting a deficit, the movie committee was at first unsuccessful in making a profit, but beginning in the Winter Quarter both the quality of movies and the quantity of spectators were increased, the result being a notable rise in income. Button Court As always, B-J food was an object of pessimistic contemplation. The males, hnding the school pleas- ant and the company affable, chose to make a scapegoat of the plentiful and well-varied diet, and proceeded to consume all of it and wax fat. The kitchen staff was extremely cooperative in helping to prepare for special occasions, e.g., exchange din- ners, and celebrated every holiday With a specialty. The increase in College enrollment this year pro- duced a rather seriOus housing problem. As yet, none of the projeCted new dormitories has been completed, and the solution of the problem con- sisted in same rather fat-reaching rearrangements. Beecher House, long-time Law School stronghold in the C-Group, was converted into a dorm for undergraduate girls, and law students were placed in Mead House, which was previously an under- Mead House: Seated-Eugene Hamilton, Paul Wille, Hal Shields, Richard Johnson; Standinngenneth Butler, graduate men's dorm. The legalization of Mead House meant that three of the Burton-Judson houses were for graduate students, while Ewe re- mained predominantly for undergraduates. When the law students moved into 13-1, the judson Li- brary was converted into a Law Leunge, and this arrangement ied to several drastic changes in the uses of B-J common rooms. The Burton Library replaced the Judson Library as a party morn, the hi-h which had been in the Burton Library was moved into a smaller room, and the television set twhich began its notorious peregrinations in the Spring Quarter of 195$ was shuttled into another small room. The Judson mezzanine storage room was made into an ofhce for the house presidents, and the sixth floor aerie of Chamberlin House was fully utilized as housing space. Briefly, there was no superHuous space in Burton-Judson.

This group of insurgents charged that Ghent's lighthearted editing destroyed the worth of the Compass as a house newspaper. How- ever, many house residents found it refreshing that the Compass admitted that there was no serious news, and devoted its efforts to satire and farce. Personal? were introduced, though it was ru- mored that Ghent wrote them all himself, a prac- tice nor uncornmon among student publications. The Compass seemed certain to remain Internation- al Houses greatest newspaper. The story of how a young Y.M.C.A. secretary at Columbia fell in step With a foreign student on campus, found that he hadn't talked to a soul in weeks, and conceived the idea of International House is too trite to dwell on here. Suliice it to say that Chicagds Gothic Internatioaal House is one of four built with the aid of the ubiquitous Rockefel- lers, and that it Was built in the early years of the nineteen-thirties. A resident could conceivably spend the year Dining in the cafeteria in Int House International House's gift shop without leaving International House tit is said that some actually dob its farilities include a cafeteria, barber shop, cleaning service and a Gift Shop com- plete with everything from soap to greeting cards in Urdu. Recreation is provided by the busy House Council in the form of movies, lectures and discus- sions, dances, record concerts, teas and numerous other popular social events. The Council also sees to it that the House administration is aware that blown fuses need replacing, leaky roofs fixing, and other needs tended. International House is inhabited by graduate and upper-class foreign and American students from several Chicago colleges and Universities. Dedicated to international friendship, the House successfully mixes students from more than thirty nations at its events and around the bridge tables in the lounge. 135 Fraternities We've been Gorred! This was the cry rising from Phi Gamma Delta throats everywhere as the Inter-Fraternity Council, led by IF President Herb G011: hBetaU fmed the Fijis two hundred dollars for illegal rushing. The Councilhs action was vindi- cated when the Dean upheld its ruling, but the Council lowered the time, thus restoring a sem- blance of order. Constructive outcome of the widely publicized fracas was a re-examination of the Council's rules, and operations. Some proposed abolition of the Council; others plugged for right of appeal to the 136 Debbie Goleman after being crowned by Dean Strozier Escorted by Marv Kaplan, Miss Goleman was ZBTJS candidate S-F-A Court on doubtful cases. No major changes in the Council's status are likely to result, as Chi- cagois ten fraternities want all the self-government they can get with fraternities again on the upswing. Reflecting the dynamic leadership of the Coun- cil was a successful I-F Ball in the Del Prado Hotel. Winsome Debbie Goleman, candidate of ZBT, was crowned Queen of the Ball by Dean Robert Stro- zier. The 120 formally-clad couples at the dance called it one of the best in recent years. The pending return of Tau Kappa Epsilon to campus is indicative of the resurgence of frater- nities, as is the large number of students pledged this year. It seems unlikely that Chicago will see frater- nities gain the Strength that they have at Illinois, 01- that they had at Chicago in the late 'twenties. The days When thirty-plus fatetnities pledged eighty pet cent of a freshmen clams are no: visible to campus prophets, but it is clear that fraternities will play a more important role in the university of the next decade. The activities of the Inter-Fra- tetnity Council will have a correspondingly greater importance to the average student. 137 Miss Debbi Goleman, Queen of the Inter- Fraternity Ball 138 First rowmjoseph Kelly, Dick Willson, Dwight Hoxie, Tom Lewinson, Norm Smith; Second raw Dana Fraser, John Bystryn, Bill Starr, John Young, John Endres, Fred Masterson; Third row Ken Kaplan, Dennis Barton, Alan Reid, John Kidd, Bob Koiar, Roger Burke; Fourth row A lplm Delta Phi Clayton Smith, Art Doyle, Dick Mintel, Pat Cain, Charles Pak, Michael Richter, Denis Hamby, Bill Kidd, Bob McMahan; Fifth rowiBob Riopelle, Mario Sewell, Ken McKenzie, Tony Cordesman, Bruce Cushna, Jo DiPierre, Allan Rosansky Dancing at the annual Alpha Del: open house, Castle Rock 139 Playboy party advertising Beta Theta Pi Fifst rowisherry Plunkett, Dick Watson, Leigh Littleton, Joe Ellis, Bernie Monk; Sewmi 70w Larry Fahey, Jim Malkus, Dave Ish, Don Wentzel, Buddy Schricber, Bob Ladecky, Dan Harlowe; Third rawF-Steve Bailey, Dave Levinson, John Deitmann, Stu McHenry, Charlie Rey, Dick Walton, Andy Moore, Keri Pataki, Bruce Griffm; Fourth row- Dave Ramns, Bob Hagglund, Bob Bumcrot, Jim 140 I :3 Dorothy Cayton, Judy Bowly, Sandy Ford, candidates for Playboy party Playmate, with Bonnie Bovack, representa- tive from the magazine Nodland, Steve Miller, Dave Adams, Bart Tittle, Mike Katzin, E.

Representatives from each of the six clubs meet once a week in order to coordinate the activities of the council. These activities include a rush tea for all entering women, Preferential din- ner and dance, Interclub Ball, Motheris Day Tea, Intetclub sing, and an Interclub basketball tourna- merit. The rush tea is held during the early part 0f the Autumn quarter. Any woman who is over sixteen years of age or older and who is registered in the University of Chicago is eligible for rushing. Rush- ing is not permitted during Orientation Week, or during the following two week period. Rushing lasts for two weeks. During this two week period, each club is allowed to hold two informal parties; luncheon dates may be made between 11:50 a.m. and 1:30 a.m.; coke dates may be made between 2:30 p.m. and 5:00 11m. only if the rushee is unable to attend luncheon dates because of class or work. All luncheon 0r coke dates must be prearranged. Preferential dinner and dance is held on a night designated by Interclub Council, succeeding the two weeks period of rushing. Bids are sent by spe- ccial delivery to the rushees the night prior to the dinner. On the night of the dinner all clubs are to have their rushees at Ida Noyes Hall by 9:00 p.m. The bidding is conducted under the direction of the Interclub Council and a faculty advisor, with assistance from other members of the council. No club is allowed to initiate their pledges until four weeks after the formal bidding. Intetclub ball is held during the first part of the winter quarter. All members of recognized Womenis Clubs are eligible to attend, and each club nominated a candidate for Interclub King: After the dance the separate clubs have private parties. The Interclub Council sponsors a Motheris Day Tea, which is attended by active and inactive mem- bers, alumnas, and their mothers. Those girls whose mothers are unable to attend are iiadopted for the day by alumnae members. This year the tea is being held on May 5th, the week preceding Motheris Day. The Interciub sing follows the Mother's Day Tea. Each club prepares two songs which they pre- sent in competition for awards of quality and of quantity. Each year the Interclub Council sponsors a round-tobin basketball tournament between the ac- tive Womenis Clubs. A trophy is awarded to the club Which wins the most games. 150 Lynn Epsteen before the preferential dinner-dance Above-Gittiveg Marion Rose, Joan Deman; tsmndinw Edith Cope iguestLVirginia Dickey; Below 0itng Joan Deman, Marion Rose, Virginia Dickey, Edith Cope Quem, Biela Goldman guestL Patricia.

It should give them a high quality iqualirast of education, while at the same time affording a low quantity t'quamfrast of money, time, and other im- ponderables. Thus, there has been evolved over the years since l066 a quinquepartite system of learning. When a person leaves the Convocation, there is in his eye a tear and in his hand a diploma, both signalizing that he has passed the following stages: Basic Courses, Straight Courses, Peripheral Courses, Integration Courses, and Portmanteau Courses. 1. Basic Courses. A student needs backbone and to get backbone he must go to the grass roots; and to get to the grass roots he must have brass tacks. ConSEquently there is offered the course generally referred to tin that consummately cute cant called col- lege slangl as Basic tandfor remedialt Bath, since it is generally admitted over the wide world that cleanliness comes just one notch below godliness. No stigma is attached to the mark R. tStaff: Nixon, Dixon, YaresJ 2. Straight Courses. Next to backbone, a student needs guts. So he is offered a group of sequential courses, which give him a panoramic view of Everything Ever done by Everyman. Then. to top the whole thing off. he spends the terminal period Of his terminal term sitting in Artless Gymnasium, taking comprehensive examinations. tThe following grading system is used in evaluating a studentis performance on comprehen- sive examinations: A:all right: B:better: C:consummate; D:deihable; and F: maJ This tie, straight coursel monad of the quinquepartite dichotomy suffers from a tripartite multivision, to wit: at A three-year sequence in the Urmarm-al Sciences. The First year is devoted to an intro- duction to the great books of science tTme Romantic Horoscopesl and kindred pamphlets Untroducriw: to the thdamemal Principles oftlie Metaphysics ofMomlsl. During the first year the student considers astrology, numerology, and funda- mental graphology. The second year is taken up in consideration of the four ele- ments, Fire, air. earth, and water, and in using them to do things. The last quarter is spent in solving the problem of classifying things like mud and snow. The third year is a grand year, because by that time the student is well prepared to read the monumental M y Life, Experience, and Good Times, with exegetical notes on how to make geld Out of a degree in chemical engineering! by G. D. S. Merlin, F.R.S. The last two weeks of the course are spent in consideration of Absolute Phrenoi- ogy. in A rwo-year sequence in the Asocial Sciences, The first-year course, subtitled, tlHow To Dance by Yourself,H is formally referred to as Mural Botany, and teaches one the social graces necessary to being a successful and scintillating wallftower. After the problems of this matter have been solved to the satisfaction of the Examineris Office. the student is ready to take that one giant step into the second year. The course does not have a subtitle, but it is guaranteed to be so enshrouded in mysti- cism that the student will evolve ready to face the world, with excellent experience in reading court cases. 6 A rhree-year swoop Ihrougl: the Inquiries. Inanities One is where a student can go on rainy days and look at pictures and listen to recerds. The rationale of this course is found in the motto: Ars 1'0:th es! m-s gratia arm's, which means that art for artist sake is not long for this world. lnanities Two is especially designed for students with a taste for Shakespeare and Milton Not only is there the entirety of Paradise Lost, but there is an entire quarter spent in studyr of Level: Lahours Last, followed by a lengthy discussion which tries to equate Love's Labours with Paradise.

Peripheral Courses. After guts, you gotta have heart. And that is the reason for a cateh-all category of loose-end courses. mostly in mathematics and language. The bulk ofthe math course is spent in a woodworking shop, making truth tables, many of which may be observed in the Reynolds Club Lounge tNortht. The world is getting smaller, and smaller, and smaller, and no longer is the Atlantic Ocean a barrier to culture. It is essential that students have a speaking acquaintance with the major languages of the world, and therefore they are compelled to take a four-year course called uHow To Read a Book, consisting of choice lectures from Bolivian, High Church Esperanto, Revolutionary Hungarian, and Talmudic Hebrew. Every second Good Friday the stu- dents of this course collect on the Midway to throw Rosetta Stones at one another, but itts all in the spirit of ifberte, egalite, and Phi Gam. tStafT: Lincoln, Mencken, and NodJ 4. Integration Courses. It is essential to put all the foregoing eggs in one basket, as the old proverb goes, and that is the reason for having two integration courses, you know, to sort of tie the whoie thing in a bundle. The lesser of these is a consideration of The Mystery of Western Civilization. Starting with the creation of the world tm-rcn in 3003 B.C., the course progressively gives the student ample evidence for the belief that everybody is kin to everybody else if you go back as far as Adam. The second integra- tion course, which integrates the first tntegratien into a sort of Positive Synthesis, is called, charmingly enough, Omnipotence, 01' in the patios of students, 0MP. In this course, selected readings from Dale Carnegie, Norman Vincent Peale, and Fulton Cardinal Sheean, give students and teachers alike fiIITl foundation for thinking about thinking about thinking. tStaff: Carson, Pirie, ScotlJ S. Portmanteau Courses. It has been of late, however, lamented that nine years was just too long to spend getting a meaningless degree. To remedy this situation, the faculty, in collaboration with the Department of the Interior, has developed a group of courses which are combinations of certain of those mentioned above. The study of Phrenology, when considered in the light of the Dead Sea Scrolls, gives quite a bit of help in understanding just what Grundoon is saying. tStaff: Washington, Adams, Jefersort, Madison, Martroe, Adams, Jackson, Van Burgh, Harrison, Tyler, Polk, Tayiwu Fillmore, Pierce, Buchanan, Johnson, Gram, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, Cleveland, Harrison, Cleveland, McKinley, Roosevek, Taft Wilson, Harding, Cootidge, Hoover, Roosevelt, aTmmam, Eisenbergj t On leave of absinthe.

Ballooning Club Fashionable among the more progressive ele- ments on campus this year was the U.C. Ballooning Club. Founded 0n the fiftieth anniversary of the destruction of the ill-fated Zeppelin LZ-4, the group has experienced amazing success. Early ac- tivities 0f the club were limited to free tunsteet- able balloons, and except for one Hight which van- ished over Lake Michigan with its crew of four and has not been seen since, results were satisfactory. The Ballooning Club quickly graduated to the Zeppelin-type rigid airship, pnwered by motors and capable of speeds in excess of 75 miles per heur. Unable to afford expensive helium gas, the group lifted their first airship with highly inflam- mable hydrogen. After a minor mishap 0n the Mid- way tillustrated in the accompanying photographL the club searched for something lighter than hydro- gen, but Cheap and noninHammabIe. The solution was to evacuate the airship. leaving a vacuum. Ballooning Club President Junius R. Nemo ex- plained, Vacuum is cheap, safe, therehs more of it in the Universe than anything else, and Nature ab- hors it.

NOTHIN 1 Unfortunately, the flight was denied approval by some stodgy members of the Civil Aeronautics Board after a minor navigational error allowed the airship to fly unannounced over Midway Airport, causing three airplane crashes.

Singing its club song, Up in the Air, Student Leaders? it plans an even more extensive program for next year. 181 GOOD BOOKS GOOD MUSIC FINE ART PRINTS Add So Much To Good Living 4;: BROWSING HOURS: 8:00 FLM.

After some weeks of dull and smoky discourse anent the inan- ities of Galileo and his two Sidekicks tSimpliceimus and Sancho Panza? and equally dull lab sessions of rolling antique billiard balls down disenclined planes, the course suddenly becomes rational by asking impossible quesrions on physics, a subject quite remote from the Nat Sci treatment of Signior Galilei and friends. Hum I is the course that often makes garrulous fools out of people who were once quiet compia- cent idiots. Coming out of the course, a person bestrides the narrow world with a full scope of the artistic endeavor 0f the human race. Hum II is taught mostly by people who teach something else or wish they did. It has been hypothesized that there exists a hex such that hex equals a course called Math ABC, where a person learns all about logic, sets, curl, and the sky as observed out the Window of Cobb. The best thing about college French is the reach- er who was trying to get his class down to four in order to hold meetings in Jimmyhs. Once there was observed on Chicagds South Side a semi-integrated society of post-literate out- siders, who could digBSt the whole world at one sitting.

This definition means nmhing. What is the term? What does it really mean? What is this person outstanding in? A man of the year is outstanding in two senses: in doing something on the campus which contributes primar- ily to the student sentiment and record; and second- ly. in being a person who is desetvant in working to his capacity, beyond what he must do and at the same time accomplishing his own personal goals in both his academic and extracurricular attempts. We have named Billy Lester as the one person during this year who is best qualified for this honor. In hav- ing said this yearf we are not sure we are correct: his achievements are a result of the work of his colv lege years. He was thught to our attentiori as a result of his basetball record. This is a very impor- tant part of his qualifications, but certainly not just because he is good in this field. His basketball is important to us not because of the records he set iit was said that he was one of the greatest, if not the greatest basketball player Chicago has ever hadi, but because of the amount of work, petseverence and determination he has shown in making himself good in basketball. He came to this school during a period when athletics was deemphasized; so there was very little recognition he could expect from it. He was told his first year that physically he lacked the necessary requirements as compared to his oppo- nents; so it was not that he had such a great talent and knew it. He was surroanded by a losing team; so that there must have been a great many depress- ing, and not very satisfactory moments during the years. But he did it anyway, and this year Billy Les- ter was the mainsmy of the team, scoring above 400 points during this, a losing season. William Lester did receive honor: an Alumni Deanis Award, membership in Iron Mask. His per- sonal qualifications were at least of importance in receiving the membership into Iron Mask and his office of treasurer in that organization. He is very much liked on this campus, and more than that re- spected. Very much a gentleman, seemingly shy, seemingly unaffected by what he has accomplished, his friends, coaches, and reputation point to the fact that this is a person iand the only one so fat as we can seei who deserves this Man of tabs Year title. This title means very little in actuality. We can offer him nothing in the way of honoring him and this seems a sad thing. Yet where is the need for honor- ing this person? He already has one of the finest and perhaps only important honors he can get, and will fill any need by simply veing and doing those things that make up this one honor. The name of the honor: William Lester. 185 One suxdlow does not a summnr rmu'rra.H Bk.
