Chee-Chee may sound like part of a soundtrack of Irven DeVore's latest researches into primate behavior, but is actually someone's transliteration of the title of a play by the great Italian playwright Lujgi Pirandello. Pirandello is best known for his somewhat stagey plays Henry IV, Six Characters in Search of an Author, and Right You Are [If You Think You Are], which pretty much made reality vs. appearance the central obsession of modern theater. Chee-Chee is austere (it lasts only a half hour) but full of depth. This is the kind of play--rarely performed pieces...
...students demanded that Janet Fjellman, who teaches Social Relations 1002, "Women in Cross-Cultural Perspective," be rehired for next year. B. Irven DeVore, professor of Anthropology, notified Fjellman in January that her one-year contract would not be renewed...

One hundred seven faculty members sign a petition written by Archibald Cox urging that Devore be fired or censured and attributing the turkey test scores to "cultural conditioning." Asked why he no longer supported the right of any professor to publish his theories, Cox said he merely objected to the publication of such controversial ideas in a mass magazine without testing them first in a scholarly journal such...
QJESTIONS such as these require that the sociological perspective be coupled with a medical approach to the problem. Not coincidentally, Dr. Mark is an associate professor of Surgery at the Medical School while Dr. Irven is an associate professor of Psychiatry. Their book reflects this schizoid nature-Lorenz, DeVore, Aristotle, and even Dostoevski's The Idiot are listed as references right along with scores of neurology medical research papers...
