The last basketball contestbetween the Maroon and Purple wasstaged in 1919.Coach Stagg’s Athletes go into thefray as favorites, having won fourand lost three, while the North Sideteam has dropped three and capturedbut one game. However, the North¬western outfit can be depended uponto give the Maroons a great fight asthere is keen rivalry between the twoschools, and in addition the Purplequintet will be on its home fioor andbefore a home crowd.Palmer’s Brother on TeamCoach Elder, former Badger player,is serving his first year in commandof Purple ba.sketball teams. His teamis composed of big, rough players,who play a rather smeary game andcan be counted on to give the Ma¬roons a hard battle.Capt. Saunders is the main pointscorer for the Purple. He plays rightfoT^ard and is a fairly good floorman in addition to being an accuratebasket looper. Saunders also does thefree throwing. “Chuck” Palmer,brother to “Eddie,” is the other for¬ward, and is also a consistent basketringer.Maroons Have ITsual LineupHolmes will play center, with Pat¬terson and McKenzie holding downthe guard jobs. McKenzie is anotherdangerous scorer, and is also an effi¬cient penalty tosser.For the Maroons, Coach Stagg willsend his regular lineup into the bat¬tle. Birkhoff and Vollmer will be theforw’ards, Halladay center, and Capt.Crisler and McGuire guards.If enough fans s'gnify an intentionto witness the game at Patton gym¬nasium they will be accommodated bythe special Maroon “L.” The DailyMaroon has made arrangements withthe Elevated Lines to run special carsfor the benefit of the Maroon fans whomake the trip to Evanston.

A, A., through thework of Clement Brown and othernationally known swimmers, defeatedthe Maroons 45 to 22 in the earlierencounter, but the Maroons, swim¬ming in their own tank tonight, shouldhold the score more even.In the previous meet, furthermore,the Varsity waterbasketball team wasobliged to play the C. A. A. in waterpolo, while tonight they will be backat the basketball game to which theyare accustomed, and will have an ac¬cording advantage. To fill out theprogram, several novelty events havebeen planned. One of them is thepopular “nightshirt race” pulled offwith great success in former meets.The other, a barrel riding race, isCoach White’s innovavtion.

Whilepursuing two of the latter supportersof the flapping foot-warmers fromBartlett, a heathen scribe of thissheet made out a gentle thud, thud,thud approaching from the distance.“What ho?” he thought.

Alumni Addressed ByFaculty Memberson LeaveProf. S. H. Clark is one of a num¬ber of faculty members who have re¬cently spoken before alumni clubs invarious parts of the country, in pur¬suance of a plan of the Alumni Coun¬cil to keep alumni in close touch withthe University. Prof. Clark deliveredan address before the Dallas club onFeb. 20. At a recent meeting of theCentral Ohio club in Columbus, thealumni were addressed by Dr. Milli¬kan. The Indianapolis club met onJan. 26 to hear Trustee Charles W.Gilkie speak, and on Jan. 31 Prof.Herbert L. Willett addressed the clubof Denver, Colorado.Other meetings are being arrangedfor in such cities as Los Angeles, Se¬attle, Detroit. “All reports show thatalumni are verj’ glad to meet withmembers of the faculty, coming di¬rectly from the University, and tohear of progress made and plans forthe future,” said Adolph G. Pierrot ofthe Alumni Council. “Perhaps nophase of the Alumni Council’s workhas done more to develop generalalumni interest throughout the coun¬try than have these club activitiesthat were started anew last year andare now showing rapid development.”TUNE CONSTRUCTIONABSORBS WOULD-BEFRIARS COMPOSERSMusic Writers All Agog AsEnd of ContestDraws NighPLAY CREATIONS ON SUNDAY“Dum-de-de-dum,Doodle-de-de-dum;Dum-de-de-dum-dum—Dum-day.”Thus the eager-eyed youth at thefourth table on the right in the bigreading-room.

I was not criticising edi-toria policy or even discussing it.The only mention of the DailyMaroon was a reference to its col¬umns as containing an expressionof student sentiment. The mention of“blind-man’s-buff and a five minutewalk to the lake and back” is trivialand aside from the question, so alsoare some other things which are saidin rejoinder. The best answer to therejoinder is to read the communicationagain, but I do not expect anyone todo that. I would not change a syllableeither in form or in meaning, and Iventure to say that the writer of theeditorial which called forth my com¬munication would endorse it to theletter. The editorial of February 4which does me the honor to quote mein company with so eminent an edu¬cator as Professor Butler assumes adifferent tone, I am pleased to note.F. J. GURNEY.Assistant Recorder.HE LIKES THE SHEETTo the Editor:I neither wish nor can I afford toappear impertinent to persons olderand, therefore, wiser than myself, butit should be understood that the argu¬ment exploded by Mr. Gurney’s letterin which he viewed with alarm the in¬creasing “frivolity” of our gay col¬legians and The Daily Maroon cannotever be settled to the satisfaction ofboth Mr. Gurney and the collegiansabout whom he is distressed.The ideas of youth are incompatiblewith those of age.Except when there is understand¬ing.And that is evidently what Mr. Gur¬ney does not pos.sess.Writing of the undergraduate andideas recently, Mr. Linn, after ratheramusedly observing that “the ques¬tion of the League of Nations appa¬rently failed to stim them (under¬graduates) to intellectual and moralexcitement” went on to think that “aslong as youth delights more in actionthan in meditation, there is not likelyto be much change in the general un¬dergraduate attitude.”In Mr. Linn’s opinion, until there isa change in the undergraduate’s lineof thought “he will conduct himself—about as he does now.”Obviously, then, the thing to do isto make the collegian think. AndMr. Gurney would, by excluding fromthe undergraduates’ newspaper every¬thing but “important matters”—unin-tere.sting maters, that is—stifle col¬legiate interest and, as a consequence,thought.Mr. Gurneys says that “a collegedaily may be supposed to reflect col¬lege sentiment fairly well.” Reflect¬ing college sentiment is the businessof a college newspaper, and the fre¬quency and accuracy with which itVacation ToursExclusively conducted for alimited number of college girlsunder the personal leadership ofMrs. Clara F.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 9. 1921reflects that sentiment determines itsworth.This year’s Maroon is a real news¬paper, interesting, live, and happilynon-intellectual. That the undergrad-uates think the same is obvious.Why argue, then?Well, Mr. Gurney asks “How muchof the material in The Daily Maroonis occupied with subjects which areof value?” At once the argument be¬comes intelligible, hinging on what ismeant by “subjects of real value.”Things that may be “of real value”in Mr. Gurney’s opinion, may seem,and doubtless often are, stupid anduninteresting to the undergraduate.And it is the collegian who must beinterested if his attention is to becaptured and held by his newspaper,not Mr, Gurney or the more mature,if less exuberant, minds which, it isfair to assume, his attitude expresses,Mr. Gurney’s impatience wasaroused by the publicity given theshimmy-toddle agitation. I took ad¬vantage of that agitation to pass outamong the men and women under¬graduates 406 questionnaires invitingexpression of and reasons for theiropinions regarding the dances. Threehundred and eighty-four question¬naires were filled out. Three hun¬dred and eleven of the “reasons”givven for approval or disapproval ofthe dances obviously were the resultof some thought about the matter,many men and women, for example,arguing that the dances are fads andwill therefore die the natural death,others taking the serious, if clinical,stand that such dancing is the resultof—well, sociological changes, discus¬sion of which is usually limited totextbooks.By blowing away the froth, you see. one gets at the beer below. And Ij A SCHOOL FOR JOURNALISM?know that you know that where there]is beer, there must be froth. |The point is that publicity subjects jthings to the criticism of the public. |If it interests it produces thought. I |believe that the shimmy-toddle pub-1licity and its resultant questionnaires istirred up more ideas in our gay col-1legians than the lecture they have Ijust left. We think in terms of our- jselves and our own lives, anyway,'not in terms of the intellectual. That jwhich lies about us is so close, how- ;ever, that it is far; we take it, like jwe accept the University itself per- ihaps, or three meals a day, for grant- led. And taking a thing for granted 'does not arouse mental activity. Pub- 'licity makes for consciousness.

If you willstick out the course, Ed., we will yethave a college daily that will be worthwhile. To any one that will take thetrouble of comparing critically theissues of the Maroon for the last twoweeks with those of the past year,comment will be unnecessary.With the Maroon becoming a mir¬ror of the daily human interest sideof university life, Phoenix with itshumor and satire, and Chanticleerwith its serious endeavors, why notstart a school of journalism right hersat the University of Chicago? Withthat kindly sage and experiencednewspaper man. Professor Parke, asa guide, with “Teddy” Linn, Lovett,Herrick, Grabo, and the many others here with newspaper experience, whynot combine theory with practice, andwith the nucleus of the Maroon,Phoenix and Chanticleer, work out ourproblems in this actual laboratoryaround us and thus prepare for thelarger field outside ?You ask for some of the problems.Cannot many be solved by throwingaway the hammer and getting a horn ?The failure of “Hello Week”; the lackof college spirit; the non-interest inelections; all show the need of a dif¬ferent attitude.
