Barta Directs Ethnic Survey Twenty junior and senior sociology students taking the Social Structures and Processes of the City course, taught by Father Robert Reicher of the Catholic Adult Education Council on Working Life, are participating in a major inter-university survey of ethnic attitudes in Chicago. n n Vol. XXXVII Mundelein College, Chicago 26, 111., April 26, 1967 Dr. Russell Barta, chairman of Mundelein's sociology department, is directing the students who are interviewing random samples in the Rogers Park area during April. BARBARA DAHLDER, junior sociology major, comments: I like it (the survey) ... I think it's good. In addition, Barb says the response she has received so far has been gratifying. Marty Nesbitt, junior social science concentration major, and Mary Jo Rudolf, senior sociology major, feel that the best part of the undertaking is our experience in doing it THE OTHER COLLEGES and universities participating in the project are the University of Chi cago, the University of Illinois Chicago Circle, DePaul University, Roosevelt University and Concor dia Teachers College. Mundelein College, Roosevelt University and the interviewing staff of Community and Family Study Center of the University of Chicago are exploring ethnic at titudes and behavior among se lected minority groups in Chicago. PROFESSOR PIERRE DE VISE, of DePaul, is supervising the stu dents who are investigating trends in size, distribution and composi tion of Chicago's ethnic groups and the different death rates of these groups due to insufficient medical care. A study of already integrated neighborhoods is under the direc tion of Professor James McKeown of DePaul. Finally, a study of the politics and decision making in ethnic relations is being supervised by Professor Terry Clark, Univer sity of Chicago. No. 13 Dance Troupe Caps Cultural Arts Series TWO ENTERPRISING INTERVIEWERS, Barb Dahlder and Kathy Moran, junior sociology majors, question a Rogers Park resident on his attitudes concerning ethnic relations in .the metropolitan area. The First Chamber Dance Quar tet, an American dance attraction, will perform in the Mundelein Col lege Theater, April 28, at 7 p.m. The performance is the third in the Performing Artists' Series, sponsored by the Cultural Affairs Committee.

For the 1967 season, the Quartet has retained its four original mem bers, Charles Bennett, William Carter, Lois Bewley and Janjce Groman, and added a fifth member, N a d i n e Revene. Miss Revene, the newest member of the group, was a member of the Quartet in 1961, but left to perform in the Bremen Opera. She rejoined the Quartet this year as a full-time member. Nadine hails from New York City where she studied danc ing under Helene Platova. To Miss Revene's credit was performances in the musicals Call Me Madam and Carousel. Prior to his role in the First Chamber Dance Quartet, Mr. Charles Bennett was a member of the New York City Ballet. Mr. Bennett, who formerly lived in Wheaton, 111., studied dancing with Bentley Stone in Chicago. Mr. Bennett has appeared with Ruth Page's Chicago Opera Ballet and the American Ballet Theater, as well as performing frequently on Broadway and television. Mr. William Carter, a native of Durant, Okla., started to dance at 16 and continued his studies with Carmelita Maracci. He ap peared as a soloist in Fancy Free and Interplay, productions of the American Ballet Theater. He has subsequently appeared with the New York City Ballet as a soloist. Born in Louisville, Ky., Miss Lois Bewley studied dance there under Lilias Courtney. As a member of the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, Lois performed as a soloist. Miss Bewley toured Europe with the American Ballet Theater and toured the United States with Je rome Robbins' Ballets USA. In addition, she has performed on Single Hawk Confronts Trio of Doves Concerning Issues at Vietnam Teach-in by Mary McMorrow Three doves and one hawk squared off against each other dur ing a teach-in on the Vietnam war, April 13 in McCormick Lounge. Defending U.S. involvement in Vietnam was William Stanmeyer, an attorney and member of Loy ola University's philosophy depart ment. Speaking against the war were Mrs. Edward Chobanian of Mun delein's history department; Clark Kissinger, and Dr. Gordon Zahn, Loyola sociology department. Mary Pat Kelliher served as panel mod erator of the three-hour teach-in. Clark Kissinger, of the Munde lein math department and recent aldermanic candidate for the 49th Ward, began the discussion by cit ing the origin of U.S. involvement. At the end of World War II the U.S. decided to end colonialism and chose to help Ho Chi Minh end French occupation of Vietnam, Kissinger said. In 1945 the U.S. entered Vietnam, and Ho Chi Minh proclaimed his government. With the cold war the U.S. sud denly took a different attitude, con tinued Kissinger, and decided Ho Chi Minh was an enemy whose government signaled Chinese ex pansion. Therefore, the U.S. un derwrote the French at the end of 1964 and paid two-thirds of the bill of the war. In 1954 the Geneva Accord was settled, without the U.S. signature, and Vietnam was divided into two zones. Free elections were specified after two years. Ho Chi Minh stayed North of the 17th parallel and the French disappeared from the South leav ing Diem. The U.S. then stepped into the unstable area and in 1956 Diem, with U.S. backing, refused unification. Everytime we've escalated it's because another policy failed, Kis singer said. The problem is that the U.S. looks at Vietnam as a military rather than a social, eco nomic and political problem, he added. By 1964 the U.S. started bomb ing to justify its excuse that the South was a victim of aggression. Today U.S. forces number 50,000 men. We've been actively involved for the past 20 years to suppress independence, Kissinger noted. Gordon Zahn, speaking as a re ligious pacifist, said he opposes the war because both sides use reprehensible means and we're there for American interests . . . nothing more or less, he said. Zahn classified the sociological movement in Vietnam as a Revolu tion of Rising Expectations, a com mon phenomenon. Yet U.S. policy is geared to sta bility, he added.

Taking the rebuttal, Mr. Stan meyer began by speaking to the audience: All I can advise is that you do your own research. I agree with Mr. Kissinger's facts, but not his interpretation of them. He noted that free elections re quire a basic stability that Viet nam did not have. The Viet Cong broke the social order, resulting in an insurrection. Our overall goal is to provide a context for stability, he added. As a guideline in discussing Viet nam, Stanmeyer noted, one must ask what the role of communism is today and should the U.S. back anybody? Introducing another side to the discussion, Mrs. Chobanian stated, I disagree with the domino theory which says that the fall of one country leads to the fall of another and so on. Each case is separate and if we lose one there are no other implications, she continued. Another false assumption, noted Mrs. Chobanian, is that the U.S. can bring a revolutionary organi zation to beg peace. She and Kis singer felt that the problem is po litical and social, rather than mili tary as the U.S. assumes. The fact that America has a (Continued on Page 3) Broadway, television and with the New York City Ballet. Janice Groman, who left her hometown of New Britain, Conn., to appear in the New York City Ballet's production of The Nut cracker, is the fifth member of the Quartet. She also appeared as a soloist with the American Ballet Theater in the first performance by an American company behind the Iron Curtain. The New York Herald Tribune's Walter Terry has praised the Quartet as an admirable new group high imagination mar velous.
