e X; J . .?.. Three men, a log, and a Few chords . . . One of those regrettably anonymous sayers 0f sayings'once called a School a log with a teacher at one end and a student on the other. But somehow in America this lowly log has managed to grow to such incredible proportions, what with books and ma- chines and buildings to house them all, that it requires a third person-an administrator-to take care of it while the Student and the teacher go about their business. This is a book about one such group of people, plus log, and what they did and thought about during one year. Because we are students, not historians 0r prophets, we dorft claim to know all about everything that has happened. We have tried to observe, to analyze, and to report what we saw and felt. Because of the nature of this University, we cannot claim it is what everyone has seen or felt; we just hope it will strike a few common chords, a few things that people who were involved in the University of Chicago 1957-58 will remember and perhaps enjoy.

Imbedded in the corridor just outside Oxford-like Hutchinson Commons is a brazen replica of the University seal. Like similar artifacts, this object is popularly invested with a mystical power: the unwary student who steps on it will fail all his exams. Every college and university in America has similar cuse toms and traditions, and participation in them is often equated with uschool spirit? a sense of unity in and identih ficatjon With the institution. The belief that spirit and unity are good things has led to public approval of fresh- man beanies, panty raids, tugs-of-war, honoraria, cheering sections, and a host of similar usages. Such spirit, some have said1 is notably absent at the Uni- versity of Chicago. UC students walk wherever they hape pen to be goingeon the Hutchinson seal or oEewith equal nonchalance and no observable ill effects. The cur- rent custom seems to be not so much to Haunt tradition as to ignore it. This neglect of customary custom, it is further claimed, causes a iack of unity in the student body-a lack which has often been discussed, debated, and deplored. Cries of TTapathy are raised from time to time, rallies are organized sporadically, but for the most part Chicagds students go about their business and display a profound disinterest in mass action of any kind. Everyone has his own pet explanation for this state of student affairs; events, people, and policies are aiternately praised and blamed; but we believe that the history and the quality of student life are, to a great extent, reflections of the character of the University itself. First and Foremost, a university It has always been a university, dedicated to the twin ideals of education and research that are the major aims of any university worth the name. It is, by and large, a grad- uate institution: two thirds of the student population are graduate students, immersed in the serious business of earn- ing a higher degree, and the high quality of its Divisions and Schools, taken as a whole, is unchallenged. But most important of all, it is a university that honestly believes and works under the principle that no single prescribed en+ Vironment, no matter how well constructed, can produce the consistently high order of thinking and work that the University has come to expect of itself. The only kind of atmosphere that is indisputably necessary to these func- tions is freedom: not freedom to waste time practicing secret handclasps, not freedom to distil moonshine from cucumbers 0r argue the merits and measures of angels and pins, but the invaluable freedom to investigate, to doubt, to rebel, to ridicule, to correct, to revamp, to invent, to improvise, and, most of all, to learn. T0 learnenot wise: to think, but bow to think. This atmosphere of a demanding, disciplined intellectual freedom pervades the university in countless forms1 from the constant demand, iiDehne your terms?! in a casual coHee-klateh conversation to the most sweeping of struc- tural revisions in curricular organization. The argument, the discussion, and the changes are continual. What should be learned? What should be taught, and how, and why? Courses have been changed, added, combined, and drapped. Syllabi and reading lists undergo constant revi- sion. Methods and disciplines are constantly being re- examined, and When the methods of a particular field are found to be inadequate to the study of a given problem, an interdisciplinary committee comes into being. Every change has received opposition, every new idea has been given careful scrutiny, but thought these changes have proven benehcial 0r proHtless, the ongoing process of edu- cational revision continues. A history of Freedom and education To lose a man and gain a university This constant unrest and flux is confusing, chaotic, and sometimes even pernicious. But once an institution be comes static it is stagnant and empty. Chicago is not deep- Iy moved by competition with the Ivy League or with the Iron Curtain or with the Nineteenth Century. It is in com- petition with itself. Not so Strange, then, that one of the most important events of the year 1957-48 was the loss of a man. For Robert M. Strozicr, now president of Florida State Uni- versity, the atmosphere, the goals, and the methods of Chi- cago are useful and desirable. During his long tenure as Dean of Students, this honest and capable man developed and lived under these precepts of freedom. His favorite question was, What are we here for but to change the rules? The loss of such a man is only a physical loss, for he both leaves behind and takes with him the Chicago tra- dition that he helped to build. 10 The Chicago tradition . . . Such a tradition is not what is commonly called a ugreat tradition.n It is not something which can he neatly pre- served in some recognizable object which can be ogled by prospects, revered by students, and fondly remembered by alumni. The so-ealled rules and traditions at Chicago exist only to be changed and changed again. For the University could saw up Mark Hopkinsh log to make a gross of superior mousetraps; it could embrace an Old Tradition, heavily trophicd With a duSty brace 0f cob- webby old grads and old school ties; it could devote itself to the mass production of stereoryped mbots and beasrs; it could be content with the same kinds of students, teachers, and arguments year after year; it could quite easily modify itself to fit the profitable pattern of the American college, where a good time is had by all. But behind its quiet fagade of hv'lidweStern Gothic, the University of Chicago has never toed the line of the ordinary, the approved, and the respectable when these did not and could not contribute to relevant problems in the advancement of knowledge, the development of wisdom, and the discovery of truth. 12 For Rossi, a book It seems almost impossible that anyone could keep a sense of humor while spending fifteen hours a day on the job, regulating nearly a hundred student groups, managing budgets, attending far too many official and unoHicial meetings, and looking after the countless pressing problems that are the daily lot of a Director Of Student Activities. Yet When Mary Alice Newman tnec Rossh took the 031cc in 1956, she brought to it a sense of purpose, a philosophy, and a warmth that have made the office a kind of sanctuary for people in activities. They wander in with big and little problemseor just to talk-knowing that Rossi will fix it if she can. As Director of Ida Noyes Hall, she has waged a three-year campaign-hjust like a woman! ewith curtains and pink lamp- shades and buckets of paint, to transform the hmagnificent mau- soleum', into an attractive, homey place. Though often harried, Rossi somehow remains cheerful, concerned, and patient. Her encouragement and support saved at least one yearbook editor from utter collapse last year. And whatever good there is in this book, whatever good comes of and to it next year, we owe in great part to Rossi and her office.

Kimpwn and his Executive Committee on Undergraduate Edu- cation began work on the University's own redevelopment plan, the recon- struction of the College. The Chancellofs speech to the student body in early February denoted the lines along which Committee thought was moving: a careful rc-evaluation 0f the College as part of the American educational tradition. After twenty years of evolution, the College seemed structurally sound, if radical in design-Students were encouraged to progress at their own pace thmugh a carefuly constructed and integrated system of general education courses aided by a faculty whose major con- eef'n was teaching; entrance, course and graduation re- quirements were determined by a series of impersonal tests designed to measure the individuan ability and understanding rather than his chronological age and the number of years he had spent in school. Most impor- tant, the College was designed to prepare students for the re5ponsib'tlities of freedom, to develop methods of analysis and criticism that could be applied not only to issues raised in assigned course materials, but to prob- lems that would continue to face them as American citizens and human beings. And maturity was encour- aged by the assumption that it existed, hence class at- tendance and personal conduct were largely left to the students, own discretion. The theory was, hyou can lead students to education, but you canht make them learn. And the practices were designed to make learn- ing an active, attraCtive habit, education a challenging process.

However, certain unforeseen factors crept into the ex- periment. The College comprehensive and Placement system did not jibe with the American credit system. The College AB did not become hcoin of the realm.n Students found it difficult to transfer credits in and out. And enrollment in the College fell behind the national pace. I7 Chancellor ijpton enters Law School building, site of many an academic skirmish in monthly meetings of the Council of the Faculty Senate Supreme ruling body over curriculum mattersL From educational reconstruction, a new battle cry: During the course of the first faculty deliberations on the College problem, it became clear that battle lines were being drawn, a full-scale educational war was being fought. The apparent issue was enrollment, but the basic issue was educational philosophy, invoiving the autonomy of the College faculty and a clear defi- nitioa of the means and ends of a Chicago education. It was a battle for control over the College and its stu- dents. The hastily-dtawn hnew ABh plans of 195 3 were at best a compromise, at worst the beginning of the end for the unity and form of the Hutchins curriculum. 18 Chancellor Kimptonhs midwinter speech indicated that an end was indeed near, that the time had come for an honest, sweeping appraisal of the grand experi- ment. His remarks showed forthright resPect for posi- tive gains and careful consideration of the errors and implications of 25 years of experimental revision. His Committee had set busily to sorting out results. mindful of the limitations of time and means. The College would retain a four-year bachelorls pro- gram, directed toward both liberal and specialized edu- cation. Within this framework the Committee would use its extraordinary powers to create 3 Curriculum consonant with the College philosophy, yet palatable to the demands for specialized education. As outlined, the Committees report included specific recommenda- tions for: l. Splitting the four year residence requirement into two years of general, liberal education, one year of llguided electives, a terminal year of specialization, The present College faculty is to be charged with the responsibility of revising the current curriculum to fit two years. 2. Creation of an hundergtaduate facultyllwith jun's- diction over the entire undergraduate program. The Chancellor expressed the hope that many members of this faculty will hold joint appointments in the Divi- sions, ensuring a sort of cultural interchange between Divisional specialists and the College faculty. 3. Retention of the early entrant, placement test, and comprehensive examination systems, probably with some revision of the placements. College Dean Robert E. Streeter ex- plained the current College curriculum to new students during Orientation Week, using historical, sometimes hys- terical illustrations to describe the seri- ous purposes of education.

For the Division of the Biologi- cal Sciences is concerned with the realm of nature, life, plants, animals, and the various things they do in order to be what they are. And just as plants and animals live together and interact in ecological groups, bi sci depart- ments have taken up a sort of artificial ecologyi COOP- erating to discover the nature of living things and how they grow. Like a medieval incantation reads the list of bi sci de- partments: anatomy, biochemistry, botany, medicine, microbiology, obStetrics and gynecology, pat hology, pharmacology, physiology, psychiatry, psychology. radiology, surgery, zoology. But the Division 5 contri- butions have been far more than mumbo iumbo,1ts men a good sight better than witch-doctors. Medical men are sometimes said to be the only people that work constantly toward eliminating the need for their own profession. And so the work goes 0n-in the nine superbly-equipped research hospitals that make up the University Clinics, serving more than 180,000 pae tients annually; in Abbott Memorial Hall, home of bio- chemists and physiologists and that mysterious organ- ism known as Lab Supply; in Botany and Zoology and Anatomy and Rieketts North and South; in the Food Research Institute and the Ben May Laboratory for Cancer Researchiin laboratories almost without num- ber.

Their purpose: to seek understanding of man through his speech, writing, thought, history, and creative expression. Yet even with such a purpose the humanities remain a sort of paradox.

Students come, lured by the repu- tation of the Division, by the working eminence of its faculty, and by the promise of bigger and better ma- chines. They are rarely, if ever, disappointed. For years UC investigators have hammered at the frontiers of the physical universe. In the process Chi- cagoans have taken more than their share of Nobel Prizes: Michelson, Millikan, Compton, Fermi, Urey, Franck, Yang and Lee. . ..

In the days before nuclear physws became an inter- national crowbar, UC physical scientists often did their work in odd corners and basements. Albert A.

The late Enrico Fermi supervised the construction of the hrst nuclear reactor on a racquets 0101f Squashi court under the West Stands 0f Stagg Field; legend persists that several sportsmen reacted violently when turned away at the door by an Army machine gun nest. At waris end the reactor was dismantled, but the sci- entific organization which had produced it stayed on to do peacetime research in the megabuck Institutes for Basic Research, currently the pride and joy of the Divi- sion. Here over a hundred scientists pool their resources and work with their colleagues in biology, medicine, industry, archaeology, and government. Many Institute scientists are consultants to the UC-operated Argonne Nationai Laboratories of the US Atomic Energy Com- mission. All have access to the modem tools of basic re- search, including a 45 0,000 volt kevatron, a 2-miliion volt Van de Gmaff generator, and the Institutes' old workhorse, the 450 mev synchrocyclotron.

A long way From Little Egypt: social scientists survey Harold A. Anderson does the work of many people: as Marshal of the University, he arranges the detaiis of quarterly convocations; as director of student teaching, he administers UC'S program of apprentice teaching in Chicago area schools; as assistant to the chairman of the department of education, he manages the education build- ing. issues time schedules and announcements, arranges conferences: as a professor of education he somehow flnds time to teach courses. There was a time when the best insight into cultural anthropology available in Chicago resided in the person of one Littie Egypt. who wiggied her way into the hearts of thousands of small-town boys on the Midway 0f the great Columbian Exposition over a half-century ago. But if the field of the secial sciences today seems more modest, it is, in its own way, no less exciting. For the social sciences consider the basic problems that have faced man as a social animal since the begin- ning of human time, with special references to the more disturbing difficulties of the twentieth century.

At Chicago, as elsewhere, the things that students do when they are not studying are identi- fied as u1:xtralcurricular activities? Some of these activities are carried on quietly by one or two students; others, of a more gregarious nature, are carried on in larger groups.W'l1en these groups reach the size of ten members they may upon the elec- tion of ochers, become rccognized student organizations of- Hcial student acrivities which, apparently can be defined and directed. since there are a Director and an Office of such activi- ties1 a Student Government committee on such organizations. Organizations are constantly being started, stopped, re- formed, reorganized, and lamented. Since students have, as stu- dents a comparatively short life span, the eras and epochs of Student Civdization are correSPOHdingly brief. Empires and dyk nasties rise and fall cataclysms and reformations occur within a few weeks, a few months, at most a few years. This apparent instability is largely due to a long-standing University Policy of laissez- faire m the extracurriculum; 21 stu- dent organization is started when somebody feels a neeci 01' an interest, and steps or changes when these needs and interests alter or disappear. The University cooperates by providing the necessary facilities when possible with 211n1nin1u111 of direction, coercion, interference- and money. For the most part, this policy has worked very well indeed. The administration has felt justified in allowing students a com- paratively great degree of freedom, and Student organizations thrive. The official list of Student activities-numbering, this year, nearly a hundred-is a fairly sensitive indicator of current interests. Such interests and the groups that exhibit them may be classi- fied in several ways. In one respect, there are activities which do exist and 51': 011M, activities which do exisc 21nd shozrld 1101, activ- ities which sbonld exist and do 120:, and activities which should not exist and do 1101. The second and the fourth classes need not be given serious attention here, because generally there isnlt much attention paid to them. What, then, of the activities that should exist? if they do exist in some form, perhaps that form is adequate and perhaps it could stand improvement. Student Union is always undergoing major surgery because somebody thinks itls a good idea but isnlt doing well enough. The idea of a football team with all the trimmings keeps coming up because somebody thinks a con- crete kraal- ful 0f Cheering idiots tall the trimmings, perhaps, without the teami will breed Togethemess and Spirit And yet the real problem here is not so much what football will do to Chicago, as what Chicago will do to foetball. L'Cers are constantly inventing new forms of social expressw sion. Sometimes these take the names of older, long-deccased groups 135 Blackfriarsl and adapt the old to fit new needs tthey introduced girls into the organizationi.

For iunwand with a purpose Survival for any activity is largely a matter of the time and the tide. Quite often a group is formed just to be recognized tthe Sheena Fan Club, for instancee or to fill a specialized, tem- porary function tas the Students for Stevensom. Certain more permanent activities center about a particular semi-academic interest tArehaeological Society, Parapsychology Clubt or a Living group tKeIly House CounciD or religion. These, and Others Of wider interest tthe Chicago Review, University The- atre, the Chicago Maroom generally know what they' are do- ing and do it rather well. Still others-often political and social groups-have never successfully defined their purposes, or rather1 have not been Hexible enough to suit changing condi- tions, and so they just go on by inertia, doing whatever1 or not doing whatever, the current membership thinks should be done. Like devotees of the arts, the students who participate in stu- dent activities are often accused of hfooling around. Some- times, indeed, they are. But quite apart from the function of keeping idle feet off the streets, student activities at Chicago exist to bridge the gap between the academic world and the world of practical experience. In a College whose unheralded motto is IHeciucattiort for freedom, activities have been a means by which students work out in practical terms the meaning of freedom and responsibility. They are an almost essential part of a liberal education. 77 78 The institution termed ilstudent leader. corresponding roughly to the Big Men on Other Campuses, generally occu- pies a position slightly below that of llSquirrelll in the UC Student vocabulary. The ustudent leadern is rarely either stu- dent or leader; he neglects his studies for a lot of sound, fury, and sign-posting that signify, at most, nothing. His heading,1 consists of getting elected to, or, quite often, volunteering for a position with a high- sounding title and then doing some- thing, or nothing, or anythnig. He deceives himself and others and gives the impression of working very hard and generally making much ado about very little. Such is the student leader.H The organization which has contributed most to this notion is, in all probability, Student Government. The current Gov- ernment, as constructed, has few responsibilities; its funCtion- ing has become nebulous and close to meaningless, and its ac tions are felt only in small ways by the students whom it put- ports to represent. With few exceptions. members of the Govemment-oriented political parties channel their activity into patty feuds and petty debates. The eleCtorate, in watch- ing the melee and feeling no direct results of constructive Government action, turns its back and eomplacently blasrs SG, the parties, and all their issue. No attempt is made either to understand or to reform. It seems to us that Student Government could eHectively represent. inform, and serve the students if its members felt a consistent resPonsibility to do so and set about to learn how it could be accomplished. It is a task that required Student lead- ets who are, indeed, both students and leaders. we have found two such students-andwleaders in Jerry Kauvar and Gary Stoll. They became interested in the res puted State of affairs in the Government and decided to do something about it. With goodiheatted and prodigious en- thusasm, these former members of the electorate became the first College independents to win seats in the SG Assembly since 1951.

O p S in importance as part of UCs educational program For the past four 01' five years athletics 0n the quadranglcs has been expanding in scope and importance. The shift seems to reflect :1 basic difference of opinion about the relation be- tween SPUHS and education on the part of the University administration. Former Chancellor Robert M. Ilutchins be- lieved that athletics is not an essential part of m education or :1 university. In 1938 he wrote, KKAs long as athletics is recrea- tion1 it will do neither the Student nor the College any harm and may do them good. H'hcn it becomes; the chief interest of the student and a major source of income for the college, it will prevent the student from getting an education and the college from giving one. Lawrence A. Kimptom Chancellor Since 1951. believes that athletics is a proven part of education and that it belongs; at Chicago within its proper scope. Speaking to a group of past and present athletes in 1956. Kimpton said, shInrercnllegintc athletics, including footbalI. is here to stay in the pattern of American education. Let us show that some sense can be made of it by an institution that prides itself upon making sense? 9 1'44 Occasionally, spectators outnumber the participants The most controversial change of the past four years is the foetball class instituted in 1955. Football has come to stand for the alterations made in the college program since 1951, and debate about football at Chicago tends to begin with statements about school Spirit 01' the funcdon of education. Both Kimpton and H'alter Hass. director of athletics, favor the return of intercollegiate football. Nevertheless. since the Council of the Faculty Senate turned own such a proposal in 1956. there has been no oHiciaI prospect for the gamek return. The change directly aFfeeting the most students is the shift in policy of 1956 requiring all fitst-year students to take three quarters of physical education, at 1'0 pass tests showing skill in three activities. Before 1956 only early entrants were made to fulHll physical education requirements. Of this yeafs entrants, only about 15 per cent were excused from the requirement through tests. In recent years the athletic budget has increased, although it is new link: greater than it was in 194-7. That part of the budget which pays for baseballs, basketballs, and tBam travel- ing expenses has increased by one-third in two years. Owing to retirements and new appointments, the average age of athletic staff members is new lower than it was four years ago, and the number of coaches has increased from nine to ten. Modest changes in facilities are another sign of the growing role of sports on the midway. During this year lights have been installed around the varsity tennis courts; the basketball court gained a new finish and new backboards; and the nets which contain golf practice within the fieldhouse have been repaired. The mournful figure of Aristotle Schwartz tbelowL hlast queer kid totleave campt'A-s, provides poignant counterpoint to the 1958 football class's surging out on StaH Field for a scrimmage. 146 Pure and applied football was the subject for about forty volunteer students enrolled in the third annual football class. VValtet H355, director of athletics1 coached the volunteers into prohcience for scrimmages against two small col- lege teams. Unofhcially, the Class failed a test against North Central, but passed a Enal exam against Wilson Junior with high grades. While Hass' scholars studied on Stagg Field, other students ignored class work to conduct a Spirited competition over the merits and ills of football. Early in October the Mamet? tan a virulent description of Aristotle Schwartz, the fictional hlast queer kid to leave campus. In this description Schwartz was said to hate football, Hnot so much for himself, but because others twho ate weaM may become corrupted by its pernicious influence. One of the letters to the editor attacking the attacker 0f Schwartz said, t1 sympathize fully with his desire to play a game requiring more muscle than most. if less brains than some. Later in the fall a national sports magazine devoted its weekly page of intetg views to the question of the return of intercollegiate football to Chicago. The magazine quoted seven Students who favored footballhs return, and three op- posed. It did nor mention the football class, or quote any of its members. On Stagg Field, Football is a game, not a topic Both H353 and Chancellor Lawrence A. Kimpton favor football at Chicago, but there has been no oHiciaI prospect for an actual team since 1956. In that year the Council of the Faculty Senate defeated a proposal to bring back football on a n0n-c0nference basis. The football class thus seems likely to remain in the athletic curriculum. Hassh better pupils this year included lineman Bernie Monk, Dick Couscns, George Brennan, Ron Yezzij Mike Kindred, and Bob Taylor, and backfield men Pete Werner, Brooks johnson, Bill LeSter, and Chuck Hcrcnda. Assisting H ass in his instruction were coaches Kyle Anderson, Dale Bjorklund, and Robert Kriedler. 147 Team captain Ron Sutton angles a shot in toward Illinois-Navy Picrls goal. Soccer players slough through sorry season As in other seasons, the soccer team suffered from a lack of practice. Only three or four players turned out regularly, and the team met as a unit only for games. For an off-campus game with Indiana, in fact. only nine men were ready to leave from Bartlett Gymnasium at the prescribed time, and two other players had to be called in order to send a minimum team. The players individually were better than their rec- ord indicates. Veterans Ron Sutton, Ron Crutchfield, Al Knight, Giovanni Giura, Roman VVirszczuk and Bob Fish comprised a team nucleus of some potential. Newcomer Laszlo Ambrus played well. Another vet- eran, Ken Nordin, was among the few players who took pracrice seriously. Next year might be better. Of major letter winners, only two, Knight and Sutton, will be ineligible. If the players turn out for practice, coach Alvar Hermansonls team should improve as a unit. 148 C OPP 4 Lake Forest Academy 1 1 Illinois-Navy Pier 5 1 Wheaton 3 4 Carleton 4- 2 Lake Forest Academy 2 1 Earlharn 8 1 Indiana 7 2 Purdue 3 Final tally: 1 won, 5 loss, 2 tied Cross country runners produce a strong Finish For the cross countn team, autumn began as a season of rebuilding.

Adding to the stature of Srampfis achievement is the schedule his team faced. Knox, Beloit and Wabash, good small-collcge teams1 were added to the Maroon program for the hrst time. Stampf also had to do with- out Billy Lcsrcr, record-sctting scorer who completed his collegiate eligibility in 1957. The new coach had several advantages as well. He had produced winning teams in junior varsity baseball an old basketball record and basketball, hence was familiar with his problems and material. One of his best junior varsity players, John Davey, also ioined the varsity this year. Under Stampfls continued tutelage he became the team 5 lead- ing scorer, making 273 points for a 15.1 average. Following Davey in scoring was sophomore Gary Pearson center and forward who made 242 points for a 13.5 average. Filling out Stampfls starting team were Ted Romoser, Clarence Woods, and Paul King.

Freshman Ben Mi- juskovic pitched well in some games, but no Maroon hurler was consistently good. Even when Chicago had good pitching, its ftcldcrs tended to seem ungrateful. In game after game a sizeable proportion of the runs scored against Chicago were unearned. Co-Cap- rains Kent Karohl, short stop, and Sherwin Marks, third base, were exceptions on defense, and center fielder John Markin made some Sparkling Catches during the season. Markin and Erst baseman Robin Powell con- tributed some good hitting t0 the Chicago cause, as did Henry Schimberg, Hal Shields and John Webster. In the Greater Chicagoland Tournament at the end of the season Chicago was eliminated by Illinois Tech in the hrst round, 3-6. 0 O 1:!

One measure of the Clubjs growth is the fact that it was allowed to sponsor the National 10,000 meter tdl- milcl senior cross country championship in December. This event is the Kentucky Derby of American cross country running For years the New York Athletic Club has won, and for the past few years UUCTC has been second by a small margin In December the New York team won again, by only three points. Track Coach Ted Haydon also coaches the Club. Despite his organization's grOWth tUCTC sponsors the Chicagoland Open meet and the University of Chicago Invitational, sends athletes to nearly all major track meets in the U.S.J Haydon Welcomes any runner1 regardless of ability. The Clubls stars include miler Phil Coleman. distance men LaWton Lamb and Bob Kelley, and high iumper Floyd Smith. Beside competing in open and invitational meets, the Club members schedule dual meets with midwestem schools. Last spring the Club beat Iowa, 67-54., and Marquette, 71-60. Track Club includes Olympic stars 163 Intramural honors won by Psi Upsilon Psi Upsilenk fraternity house is across the street from Bartlett Gymnasium, but where intramurals are concerned the Psi Uhs seem to own both buildings. Within a year the fraternity won championships in touch football, swimming, table tennis, basketball, track, and horseshocs. In addition, teams from Psi U won the divisional softball title and thc HEW league volleyball crown. The only fraternity championship that escaped them was in softball, where a team from Phi Kappa Psi went undefeated. BEsides fraternity competition, there are three classes of intramurals: COL lege house, divisional, and all-University. In the College house category Mathews and Vincent Spiit honors fairly evenly. Sports enthusiast Athan Theoharis had a hand in victories rm both sides. In the spring of last year 164 Theoharis managed the Vincent House softball team to victory. Switching his allegiance in the fall, ThCOd haris guided WW and hBh teams from Mathews House to the first two places in the college house touch foot- ball competition. Mathews House also won titles in track, volleyball, horseshoes and swimming. In swim- ming Mathews barely beat out Salisbury house. Vincent House won additional championships in basketball, tennis. and hB league basketball. The only other house to win a title was Hitchcock in table ten- nis. David Freifelder led the Hitchcock team to vic- tory in this event. Divisional play was sparse during the year. Touch football was won by a team cailcd the uBarristers.u Basketball went to divisional students from Phi Delta Theta. Psi Upsiion won in softbaiL as has already been noted. A team from the Federated Theological Fac- ulty won in hC, league basketball. Ali-University contests were held in six sports. Paul Dormont beat Roland Dowell for the badminton singles tournament. Dermom then teamed with Bam- berger and won in doubies. A team called the hOut- laws took Phi Delta Them in the basketball finais. J. Preston Hakemian of Vincent House fired 82 to win the individual goif crown, but Zeta Beta Tau was the team victor. Dan Koehn beat H. Rudolph in handball singles, and teamed with Rudolph to win in doubles. Horse- shoe competition was won by intramural Director Kooman Boycheff. Martin Levy won over Gene Her- man in tennis singles, and Levy and John Lunck were doubles champions. 165 166 Ten good-natured men guide the athletic fortunes It is said that Amos Alonzo Stagg, in his long career as athletic director and coach, never swore. The ultimate epithet in his effective vocabulary was ujackass ; Stagg used it only in the most infuriating circumstances. In goodihumored recognition of this story, the present ath- letic staff has inaugurated the Jackass Trephy, a bust of Stagg awarded each Friday to the coach who has made the most chuckie-headed blunder in the previous week. For the follow- ing six days the erring coach must retain the trophy as a genial reproof. During the year each member of the athletic staff has received the trophy at least once. The ten award winners are a diverse group. Walter Hess is 3 graduate of the University of Minnesota, where he won let- ters in football and track. He has coached at the University of Manitoba, at his alma mater, and at Carlccon College. He was appointed athletic director at Chicago in 1956, following the retirement of T. Neison Metcalf. Baseball coach Kyle Anderson played football, basketball, and baseball as an undergraduate on the Midway. Following a year of professional baseball in 1929 he gained the Maroon staff. Kooman Boyeheff, intramurai director and golf coach, is an Oberiin graduate. He was a swimmer, trackman. and foot- ball player for Oberlin. In I946, after gaining graduate de- grees from the University of Michigan, he came to Chicago. Wrestling coach Daie Bjoridund began coaching at Chicago in the fail. He piayed football and wrestled at Wisconsin State, and has been freshman coach in these two sports for Carleton College. Edward Haydon ran the hurdles for Chicago, like his brother Harold Haydon, College dean of students. 9Ted be- came track coach in 1950 and has developed the University of Chicago Track Club. Alvar Hermanson, graduate of the Royal Gymnasric Insti- tute of Stockholm, is fencing and soccer coach. He joined the staff in 1927. In 1940 he was named American fencing coach for the Olympic games which were smothered by the war. Robert Kriedier competed in footbali and gymnastics for the University of Pennsylvania. He helped coach these sports for the University of Illinois at Chicago, and became gymnas- tics coach for the Maroons in 1956. William Moyle1 like Bjorklund, is a graduate of Wisconsin State, where he participated in track, football, and swimming. He coached at Iowa, Bradley and Southern California before coming to Chicago in 194-6 to coach tennis and swimming. Joseph Stampf, All-American basketball player for Chicago in 194-2, became a member of Chicagois coaching staff in 1944. He is now basketball coach, having succeeded Nels Norgren, who retired at the end of last year. Ronald Wangerin, another graduate of Wisconsin State, has been assistant basketball and track coach since 195 6. Like Moyle, he participated in track, football and swimming at Wisconsin. of the physically educated Nine of the ten mews athletics Staff members meet in Bartlett Gymnasium's trophy room: Dale Biorklund. joseph Stampf, Wiiliam Moyle, Ronald W'an- gerin, Walter Hess, Kyle Anderson, Alva: Hermanstm, Kooman Boyeheg, and Robert Kreidler.
