Among the many new mechani-
cal devices used in archaeology is
the resistance meter, which works
on the principle that the elec-
tric conductance of soil is alter-
ed by objects buried in it.
By use of the potentiometer, a
modification of the resistance me-
ter, the entranceways to 1,500
Etruscan tombs have been found.
When a tomb is discovered, an
electric drill is used to bore down
into the tomb. When this has been
done, a periscope is placed in the
hole. The periscope has a light on
the end to illuminate the tomb,
and the archaeologists can see
the interior without excavating.
When they have finished examin-
ing the tomnb, pictures can also be
taken through the periscope.

The University should initiate
a department to study trade un-
ions and their folklore, Prof.
Archie Green of the Institute of
Labor and Industrial Relations at
the University of Illinois said
Tuesday night.
Presenting "An Evening on
Folklore of the American Labor
Movement" under the auspices of
the Institute of Labor and Indus-
trial Relations, Prof. Green illus-
trated trade union folklore through
the songs, anecdotes and histori-
cal origins of Practices and ex-
pressions indigenous to American
labor.
'Intense Reservoir'
"An intense reservoir of trade
union folklore awaits those who
are willing to search for it," he
asserted.
"Like all other folklore, it is
not sugary, quaint or pure; it is
dull, bombastic, banal, sentimen-
tal, repititious, vulgar and lacking
in intellectual and esthetic value."
Prof. Green told how folklore,
a body of material passed by word
of mouth, is very long in growing
and is produced by an isolated
culture group which has main-
tained some stability over a period
of time.
Some Qualities
"Although the trade union
movement had some of these qual-
ities of stability and- isolation, it

in itself did not create folklore,"
he said.
"Movements never produce folk-
lore; individuals do. But it is im-
portant to remember that these
individuals are members within
the group whose ideology may have
a great influence upon them."
Relatinghow individuals in the
trade union movement are able to
dip into the past and adopt mater-
ial to the trade union scene, Prof.
Green cited several examples of
new words, poems, songs, and tales
of protest and affirmation which
came into being largely at a period
of social change.
Teenagers
"Now that Labor has gained so
many social benefits today, most
of these are no longer used by
trade unionists, so teenagers and
folklorists take them over."
Prof. Green offered as an ex-
ample the word "fink," originally
a derogatory term used by trade
unionists to describe a' strike-
breaker of thug-like qualities, has
become a favorite in teenage ver-
nacular.
"Trade union folklore is evi-
dence to the fact that folklore did
not end with the Industrial Revo-
lution," he commented. "There
will always be some persons in
any group who will respond to
their environmental conditions
with tales, songs and poems.
"It is the task of the etymologist
and folklorist to collect and pre-
serve these materials for future
generations."
Prof. Green hurled his challenge
at the University on the assump-
tion that the labor movement in
America through its existence has
managed to produce through the
years a viable body of traditions.
He suggested'that such a depart-
ment could study not only the
folklore of labor movements but
also various other aspects of folk-
lore and society.

"THE I "TWO
HUSTLER" Ill WOMEN"

Released in the autumn of
1929, Hallelujah was hailed as
a masterpiece. From its direc-
or, King Vidor, the creator of
The Big Parade and The Crowd,
nuch, of course, was expected.
But here was at last a sound
ilm that was not debauched by
he sensational possibilities of
he new medium. Critics noted
with pleased astonishment that
ven silence could be used cre-
atively. Richard Watts, still on
;he New York critics' circuit,
proclaimed Hallelujah "One of
he most distinguished and ex-
iting moving pictures ever
nade," -- he compared it to
Greed and Potemkin. One of
he fathers of the documentary
ilm, a person most unlikely to
e swayed by commercialism,
?are Lorentz said that after
zaving yelled himself hoarse in
Ais enthusiasm his considered.
'erdict was: "I think that Vi-
lor, in his casting, his music,
is story, and his photogra-
thy, created the greatest dra-
natization of the Negro, as he
xists outs5% the Harlem cul-
ure belt, that can ever be done
iith the (movie form." When
omne years later the French
ritics Bardeche and Brasillach
rrote their history of world
ilm they nominated Hallelu-
ah as one of the four or five
nost important films everl
nade; and Paris, where it ran
or two years, appeared to agree{
a this verdict.

not live up to these claims to
enduring fame. Of several
things we can be sure: it is a
striking and unusual film; it
reflects a culture that is now
an anomaly, that received its
first conceptual assaults under
the New Deal only a few years
after the film was made, crum-
bled further under the pro-
gressive industrialization of the
South, where now more Negroes
live in the cities than in the
countryside, and survives as
much in nostalgic memory as
in any fact. For in the past two
years the face of even the most
rural South has greatly
changed.
The reaction of the New Ne-
gro may be gauged from the
criticism of L. D. Reddick, dis-,
missed unilaterally in 1960 from
the Alabama State faculty by
that caric'ature of a southern
governor, John Patterson. Prof.
Reddick observed that "Halle-
lujah was significant in that it
gave Negro actors important
roles and did not exhibit the
crude insults which disturb Ne-
gro patrons; however, it did
not advance very far beyond
the usual stereotypes and, as
everyone could see, being all-
Negro it was by that token a
Jim Crow film."

Who can be more universal-
ly loathed than the sex fiend
who preys on children? Pris-
ons, composed of the "dregs of
humanity" despise the sick in-
dividuals committed for these
crimes; and their reaction is
wholeheartedly shared by the
vast majority of people who
have never had even a single
brief, telling police experience.
"It could be my child," is the
universal cry. But what if your
child were the sex criminal?
This problem is seldom faced.
