Coach Page'sillness has made it necessary for Mr.Stagg to assume his duties until hereturns. "Pat's" physcian has ad­vised him to stay in bed until theend of the week but with the impor­tant struggle with the Badgers on thecard for Saturday night he will at­tempt to return to the squad Fridayat the latest.The ineligibility of Captain Stoutcame as a severe shock to the trackteam but the men are counting onClark, a sophomore, to win first hon­ors in the. half Friday night at Pur­due. Clark has run the distanceAl1"O'3Dd 2.9'1. and aecording to reports.from Purdue this will be fast enoughto win. It will be in the mile and _two-mile that the- Boilermakers willbe able to make up points. CoachStagg will enter Angiers and Powersin these events but is probable thatthe- task of running both events willbe too great.Two New Stars.The showing of Agar and Persh­ing in the Illinois Athletic club meetl�st week stamped these two men astw'o of the best in the Conference.Pershing took second in the dash and�hurdle events and Agar ran third inthe forty. Cahn has "been workingfor the last two weeks and shouldbe in good enough condition to pickup the odd point against Purdue.Guerin will be Pershing's team matein the hurdles.Diamond and Cornwell ought to runaway with the quarter mile sincethese two veterans have been goingbetter than ever. Little is knownof Purdue's strength in the high jumpand pole vault but Fisher and Whit­ing in the fonner event and Fisherand Wagner in the vault ought tomake things interesting. Windrowhas been putting the shot aroundforty feet.Shull Helps Out.Mr. Stagg's chief work in basket­ball will be to build up a strong of­fense. In the Northwestern game thefive displayed as good defensive workas ever has been seen in Bartlett hutthey were lamentably weak in work­ing the ball down the floor for bas­kets. With the acquisition of SpikeShull, the team will present manymore possibilities for shifting the lineup. Townley has shown ability atboth guard and forward as well ascenter and he can be shifted aroundto meet the occasion. Clark andParker have been working well atforwards, and with Schafer ready togo in to break things up, CaptainGeorge will be able to surround him­self with a team Saturday night thatwill break up the short passing gameemployed by the Badgers.I� ..\1;t!I•... it:t..ii-tft..tI..i-,Ii ,-t...... t:�,STleftfewlm-guegueguethe, ., t, Defeat Freshmen in Annual Basket­ball Clash Before Crowd of Forty­Ba.rbara Miller and Margery - Leo- i'pold are Individual Stars.

According to perform­ances so far this year both teamsseem to be evenly matched. Chicagoprobably has the advantage as toindividual stars but has a small num­ber of sure Inen for the second andthird places.The Maroons stand out strongestin the plunge, first place being con­ceded to Redmon with Harper a pos­sbility for the third position.

TO HOLD l\IEMBERSHIP OPENCommittee to Propose Work of Club-Bramhall Sees Large FieldBefore Members..The University of Chicago Forumwas organized at a meeting of twen­ty-five students yesterday afternoon­in Cobb l2A. The club will studypolitical questions of the day at week­ly gatherings on Wednesdays at 3:30.The forming of the club is the re ...suIt of a plan fonnulated by Frede­rick D. Bramhall, instructor in Po­litical Science. Mr. Bramhall organ­ized a mock House of Representativesin one of his classes last quarter.Mter completing the course, some ofthe students thought that a long-feltneed on the campus could be filledby a society holding informal discus­sions on municipal, state and nationalmatters.Fnding that their propositions metwth the favor of many other students,the initiators called for a meetingyesterday. Louis Balsam was electedpresident, Carl Brelos vice president,and Berenice Klausner secretary­treasurer. Plans were discussed andspeeches made on the field and fu­ture of the club.Membership - Open.The exact nature of the Forum'swork will be decided at the meeting aweek from today. Some of the ideasafloat are organization along the linesof the House of Representatives, theSenate, the City council, or a roundof the three. Membership is open toany University student. PresidentBalsam appointed an Executive com­mittee to report on possibilities forthe society. The committee is com­posed of the officers, ex-officio: Sher­man Cooper, Harold Fishbein, Mar­jorie Hale, Paul Heilman, Frank Kat­zen, Morton Weiss and Harry Cohn.Place to be Filled •"There is a place for the Forumat the University," said InstructorBramhall at yesterday's meeting."Knowledge -of political questions isobviously of great value -to students;a knowledge of some of them is im­perative. Some light is gained' fromvarious courses. But there is toomuch of meagre and compartmentstudy. There should be more syn­thetic study. This is the situationtefore the members of the Forum."MEASURE POSTPONINGPLEDGING RECALLED JUBILEE BANQUET TOCELEBRATE FOUNDINGOF Y. W. C. L.

Blackstone 2591.WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 26, 1916.IN DEFENSE OF DATES.Instructors who require their stu­dents to remember dates are contin­ually being criticised as pedantic, ov­er exacting, nineteenth century"school - marms." "It is uselessto try to keep dates in mind"is a phrase that might well beadded to Bartlett's "Familiar Quo­tations." We have even heard peo­ple go so far as to state that oneof the heretofore unheralded horrorsof the European war-a terror whichSh911 be visited upon our children un­to the fourth and fifth generation­is tha.t each victory, each retreat,�nS one more date for the futureme"t dents to remember.sU19 the recollection of dates useless?. ht one not as well assert that it�l�nseless to know who wrote "Mac­IS t�" who composed the score ofBe,�ried," who painted. the "Mona4'S' " or who designed the Parthe­Li#"1 Remembering things is a use­not'- 'babit; and those who complainful tl asked to recollect dates mayw)Je t politely be designated as suf­mO�llg from acute inertia. And yet,fel�}l as we detest dates, it must bem" �eded that they are the sta« ofcof jlltellectual life-the very founda­oul of our educational structure, Ittiol' l1een aptly said - that th�y "arehaP orderly pegs on which we hangthd f acquired Information, If thelal are not there, the infol'lD::\tionpel: fall to the ground."wi'. such a thing as our understand-1" of a memorable battle, for in-• " ce, knowledge of the date of the�f -Iery of ammunition is quinte�sen-:1" To grasp the intricate andd! 11 etf'ul organization of the mediae­ti'l church, it is necessary that wepo 141 precisely the status of t}_te con­vs I oraneous state.

Without in­th�sing either the cost of the foodcr lowering the standard of service,or tnanagement has established it­th� on a more economical basis. Thesel rflrnons has suffered no lapse inC;iciency since it is purchasing pro­e '9;ons on .a more extensive whole­V11c basis; students, in frequent com­:cTlt, have voiced their appreciation of the r�ttered conditions in Hutchin­son dining hall.The day of the pursuit of the im­mortalized, lone Catsup bottle is over;no longer need we slink from tab'eto table in a vain effort to locate theelusive ruby liquid; gone is the dayof the hard-rubber steak; abandonedis the accustomed process of boilinga quart of soup down to a pint tolend it strength. Time was when theact of espying the meat between twoslices of bread (humorously knownas a "roast beef sandwich") was con­sidered nothing short of miraculous.But now the millenium is approach­ing, and these features have vanish­ed into the dim history of martyr­dom.The Autumn quarter saw the in­troduction of numerous material al­terations in the men's commons. Moresanitary equipment was installed; the­ventilating system was changed forth� better; and the entire kitchenW3S overhauled. The man who dinesat the Commons today may rest as­sured that he is eating wholesomefood, prepared in a cleanly fashion.The opening of the neighboring cafeduring those hours when the doors ofthe Commons are closed, and when ameal is obtainable nowhere else onthe campus, is a decided convenience.The attractiveness of the hall, theknowledge that all food served ispure, appetizing and easily accessible,and the extremely reasonable rate atwhich a meal is to be secured, com­bine to make the men's commons de­serving of the University commun­ity's patronage.BETA BOWLERS ARE WINNERSTake First Place in Division 2 ofTournament ..Beta Theta Pi clinched first placein Division 2 by defeating Phi DeltaTheta in two straight matches in theinterfraternty bowling tournamentyesterday.

Stokes & Com­pany; $1.00 net.By Dorothy Weil, '1�Frankly, this question of prepared­ness is too much for me. I firmlybelieve that the daily press has madea shiboleth of it, and that thousandsof people have been inflamed to actualmadness for defense at any price. Alltheir baser emotions are aroused overthe issue. Actuated by a blind fearand a sense of possession old as therace, they call! no longer reason. Thebit is in their teeth; they champ tobe off. The wave of militaristic panicwhich has swept through Europe hascaught them up in its wake, and theyare hurled pell mell into the melee.Yet who can. read this extract fromthe Moss-Stewart book . without aquickened pulse, a set jaw? "On oneside of the canvas cluster the nationsof Europe at peace, poverty stricken,except for veteran armies and mightymilitary machinery. On the otherside, alone, stands the United States,the greatest unguarded treasure-landIlf the world." The men who writesuch stuff hurl firebrands into theirown powder supply. And when theyback it up with statements like theCollowing, one cannot, though hewould, utterly disregard them. "Dur­ing the last one hundred years therehave been fifteen notable wars (ofwhich we have fought three) amongthe civilized nations of the world-anaverage of one every six and one-halfyears." "Military experts tell us thata force of twenty thousand trainedmen could have put an end' to thecivil war in four months, whereas wespent four years, over six billions ofdollars and more than one hundredthousand Union lives in doing it.""At the end of the Spanish-Ameri­can war . . • w� had averaged a warevery twenty-three years of our ex­istence as a nation, while hardly adecade had passed in which we hadnot employed our armed forcesagainst someone.""We have always won out but howhave we done it? In all our warswe have fought only one first-classpower, Great Britain. In our otherwars we have fought second andthird rate nations equally as unpre­pared as we were.""If a million men were caned toarms at a day's notice twelve thous­and passenger coaches would be need­ed to carry them on their journey.. . . If they stood in line before thedoors of one thouand · .. ecruitingoffices it would require the un- interrupted efforts of one thousandrecruiting paries working day - andnight for more than ten days to en­roll and enlist them. • .. It wouldrequire the day and night work of athousand men to put up the tents forthem. . .• Assuming that every­thing was ready it would be the workof another week to uniform, arm, andequip them-a grand total of at leastthree weeks before they could beready to learn the name of the riflewith which they were to fight."In the face of these figures one'concurs that since wars are still per­fectly possible men ought to knowabout fighting them, more especiallysince the training makes for vigorousphysique and general efficiency.But as I say so, I rebel! Alongwith this training, valuable in itself,there is imparted a desire to tey itout and an expectancy of the chance,more dangerous than any passiverisk. Very instinctive reaction to thepat journalistic arguments foregoing,show me that I dare not scratch thesurface of civilization's veneer. Tobe sure. when I say this I virtuallyadmit that "as long as the laws ofnature and the interests of men re­main as they are today war will con­tinue. Virtually-but not really. Forthat specious statement implies acomplacency toward things as fneyare which I am far from feeling. Civ­ilization and its ideals are much tooprecious to me. . War and its horrorsare much too vividly close at hand,From Mr. Gleason's book I learn suchthings as these about it:"Don't go near, child. It's too hor­rible. His face is gone. A shellmust have taken it away.""Then came a little whistling fromthe body of the child. With eachgive of breath the sound was forcedout. The wheezing sounded as jf thefalling breath caught Ion some jaggedbit of bone, and struggled for a. mo­ment to tear itself free. 'She is dy­ing,' said the nurse. 'Her face isslashed open to the bone with bay­onets. She was, placed in front ofthe troops and they cut her whenshe fell in fright.'"Statistics fail of their power beforethe horror of the concrete. I do notknow the "why" of this war if itbe not preparedness-preparedness :50efficient that it became an. acute anduncontrolable incentive. In the storyof Hilda, Mr. Gleason has attemptedto novelize the brave work of theRed Cross and to glorify Belgianmartyrdom. His narrative bits ofheroism and horror have a somberbeauty-the beauty of the ideal inhuman nature. And preparednesshas nought to do with ideals. It putsthem behind as I cannot.FAUNCE TO PREACH SUNDAY LAW FIVE WINS FIRST GAMEHas Been President of Brown Univer­sity Since 1899.President William Herbert Faunce,of Brown university, will preach atthe University religious servicesSunday at 11" in Mandel.
