M. C. A."Modern Christian missions musthave not only schools but also hospitals, doctors and medical dispensaries. Medicine breaks down the barriers and disarms hostile communities; a man who has been healedis already half a disciple. It is thepreaching of the Gospel. Medicinemost invariably possesses the expression of the spirit of Christianity. Inevery mission, hospital and dispensarywork rank with school, and doctorand nurse rank with evangelist andteacher."The- Rev. Charles W.

DECEl\IBER 3, _I915.BEWARE THE GREEKS.Either because he wished to breakinto the ranks of spelling reformersor because of an innate gambling instinct, our esteemed proofreaderchanged the "Beta" in Phi BetaKappa to "Betta" in our editorial ofyesterday. The horde of simp spellershas already ravished the Englishlanguage, but this is the first Greekatrocity which has come to our attention.THE FRATERNITIES' DlLEMl\IATomorrow morning the board ofStudent Organizations meets. to passjudgment upon the existing rules onrushing and pledging, which becomeinvalid after January 1, 1916. Theboard will determine whether thepresent regulations shall be renewed,altered or abolished. Another issuelikely to be settled is the advisabilityof instituting more direct faculty supervision over the rules and their enforcement.The consensus of opinion amongnational Greek letter societies, as expressed at the national Interfraternity conference held last week inNew York city, was stated in a motion to the effect that delayed rushing is beneficial to the welfare ofboth fraternities and rushees. It isat the risk of being trite that we'mention the' glaring faults of suchearly rushing as that of high schoolpupils; we have reference to the detriment inflicted upon the fraternitiesthrough an insufficient acquaintancewith these boys, whose immaturitymay and does tempt them to signan agreement for the sake of disporting an enameled button in theirlapels. It is by delving into historythat we encounter the instance of thehigh school boy who binds himself toa fraternity to find, upon his entranceinto college, that he has been guiltyof a gross misstep, which has tiedhim to a group of unsympatheticundergraduates for four years. Theundeveloped tastes of the preparatoryschool student frequently involve himin such a pledge, which later becomes a loadstone about his neck.The g'rab-hag- system of rushingand plcdtring', in vogue at the Universitv, often results in a mass of evils.The existing' scheme allows both thefraternity and the prospective candidate a minimum of time for deliberation; and the result is that the society tends to base its selection uponthe cut of the rushee's clothes, hisrepertoire of college humor and hisbiceps, while the rushee is influencedin his hasty decision by the qualityof entertainment afforded him by thefraternity. No attempt has beenmade to conceal the wanton violations... , Regis Lavery and Thomas Goodwin ,Sum Is Realized From Benefit Pro-Are Chairmen-Men Hold gram Held Saturday.Smoker Wednesday.of the regulations, and the unfairliberties taken have even become fitsubject for boasting.The Maroon suggests to the boardof Student Organizations that fraternities be forbidden from approachingmen who have not matriculated into'the University, that a rule prohibiting rushing and pledging during theAutumn quarter be passed, and that aseason for rushing and pledging, beginning at the start of the Winterquarter and lasting two weeks, beestablished. In this way, the newcomer will be given a chance to gethis bearings on the campus, to learnto know his fellow students and toformulate some conception of thecomparative values of the variousfraternities to him. In a similar manner, the Greek letter societies willbe better enabled to gauge the desirability of the "material," and togain some knowledge of the scholasticability of the freshmen, as evincedby the work of their first quarterin college.The chronic objection to any reform is its impracticability. And wefirmly believe that this objection maybe disregarded, providing an Interfraternity council is organized, whichshall have the power, the support andthe courage to enforce establishedregulations.REDllON APPOINTSTWO COl\IMITTEESSenior class, Gift and Song committees were appointed by PresidentRedmon yesterday.

'\.. - ..THE DAILY MAROON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1915.I c A----------O&H------OPINIONS ON PLAYS OF THE WEEKANDROCLES AND THE LION.A fable play by George BernardShaw, preceded by the comedy ofTHE MAN WHQ MARRIED ADUMB WIFE 0By Anatole France. Powers Theater.By Howard Mumford Jones.Mr. Shaw shares with Falstaff theimmortal attribute that not only ishe witty in himself, he is also thecause of wit in other men. After aShaw play the reviewer, aroundwhose mind the harmless Shavianlightnings have been playing, is electrified to begin his criticism with anepigram and end it with a paradox.Hence there has arisen with theShavian play the Shavian criticism;a mode of comment peculiar to, theproductions of G. B. S., which consists usually of a crack at the audience, a familiar allusion to the Shawtricks and the Shaw faults, and aplayful reference to the lady in middle life who, as she comes from thetheater, attempts to classify the playand recite the moral which her woman's club has taught her that Shawought to have.For the opening epigram, then, and1 O. P. HEGGIEWho Takes the Part of "Androcles."to work: As a play the best thingabout "Androcles and the Lion" is"The Man Who Married a DumbWife," an opinion in which I amconvinced Mr. Shaw would share-especially if he could see the delightful acting of the Burton production.And for the crack at the audience,let it be said that this sparklingcomedy seemed as hopelessly over theheads of the spectators as the pointof "Androcles and the Lion" is beyond them. We Americans applaudin methods peculiar and strange, butworse than that we laugh at thetrivial and look dazed at the reallywitty. One longs to hear this farcein the original French-it must shineand snap like Chinese sparklers.Where all are excellent, it �s hard tochoose, but O. P. Heggie as the' tormented judge, Fred Eric as MasterAdam Fumee, and the three medicalgentlemen, Henry Herbert as SimoneColline, Lionel Braham as JeanMaugier, and William Pod more asSerafin du Laurier deserve specialcomment. The Barker setting is de- lightful, but it needs renovating inseveral places.As to "Androcles and the Lion," itmust be admitted that as a play itisn't up to the Shaw standard ascomedy. As a farce "It Pays to Advertise" is twice as funny and muchmore consistent. As a burlesque, oneis led to inquire what it is a burlesqueof. As a trenchant lesson that historical figures were very human andhad the toothache and were afraidof lions, it isn't of course the equalof "Caesar and Cleopatra." But assheer nonsense it is very good---allexcept the second scene, which is ofShavian dullness all compact, andmight just as well be left out. Excepting this bad stretch wherein various characters pointedly feed eachother questions for G. B. S. to answermore or less cleverly, the play is anexcellent unconsidered trifle.The important thing about Androcles is, I suppose, the Lion. Mr.Sillward makes a very nice lion withnicer noises. In fact he's quite them�st comical beastie that we havehad in these parts since "The BlueBird." His purr is a joy, his eyesare wonderfully managed, and hisleaps and cavortings are things todream of. O. P. Heggie's Androclesis again excellent, and his �e, ablydone by Evelyn Carrington, is-nota very difficult matter---equally good.Fred Eric did an especially commendable job in the impossible role of theEmperor; it is hard to be a comicemperor and yet be dignified, but hedoes it. The directors must have 'wept for joy when they gazed for thefirst time on the brawny shape ofLionel Braham, bnt it must be confessed that as Ferrovius he overacted. Mary Forbes did the best shecould with the unpromising role ofLavinia; the dryest of Shaw womenparts. As the Captain, Reginald Carrington was both awkward and stupid-but perhaps I Roman ' captains, were-:botb;'The setting of Androcles was beautifully done in the new style whichevery one reads of and very fewpeople know much about. The principal innovations are in the use of afalse proscenium, in dependence uponline and motion for suggestion, ratherupon illusion, and in the abandonment of foot-lights for direct calcium lighting, which, together withthe up-and-down effects on the stage,seems to throw the play, scene andactors, into two dimensions. Everyset was good, except perhaps thatunfortunate second scene, whichneither gave an illusion of the wallsof Rome-a small matter-nor suggested them, which was worse.E'"eryone, however, should see theset'.;ings to form his own opinions.Though Mr. Barker doesn't go so faras Gordon Craig or Rheinhard, it isan open question whether the bizarre.ness of such effects adds to or detracts from the play· being staged.It is certainly true that there aremany varieties of drama which couldnot be staged by such methods; "TheHawk," for instance, almost demandsthe standard set, although some ofthe experiments at the Little theaterthrow doubt even on this point. Butto this question there is only one.answer, or rather one test of thevalidity of any answer, and that isthe test of success.
