Vol. 21. No. 55. UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, THURSDAY, JANUARY 18, 1923 Price 5 CentsVARSITY HARD ATWORK FOR BOUTWITH OHIO STATE THEY LAUGH AT THISIN QUADRANGLE CLUBProfessorial Calm Is Disturbed byLatest PhoenixLook For Improvement inOffense; New PlaysTriedMAROONS OUT FOR FIRST WINTHE WEEK IN SPORTFriday—Varsity Basketball Teamvs. Ohio State.Saturday—Varsity Track Team vs.Northwestern.Saturday—Varsity Wrestling Teamvs. Ohio State.Determined to improve their stand¬ing in the Big Ten basket race, CoachNorgren’s Maroons have spent astrenuous week of drill in preparationfor the game with Ohio State Fridaynight. With a record of three defeatsand no victories, the Buckeyes do notlook dangerous and should be a step¬ping stone for the Varsity in theirupward climb.Although the Maroons’ first twogames have ended in defeats they Ihave been invaluable in giving thesquad experience. The players have!become acquainted with the brand ofibasketball played by Conference Iteams, and have also developed the]short passing game to a fairly high'degree of efficiency.New Lineup Works WellThe recent shift instituted into theline-up by “Norgie” worked well,against the aBdgers and the same fivejwill undoubtedly take the floor againstthe Buckeyes Friday night. The plac¬ing of Duggan at guard has strength¬ened the offense materially, and withCampbell Dickson back in shape theVarsity will present its strongest pos-|sible line-up. Captain Yardley is to(remain at center, the position heplayed most of last season.Aside from the regular scrimmage!between the first and second teams.lspecial stress has been laid upon of-!fensive and outside play. The team’sgreatest weakness is in lack of offen¬sive power and Norgren is out to cor¬rect this fault before the next game.Buckeyes Lose DudleyThe Buckeyes will be further weak¬ened in Friday’s game by the loss of'Dudley, forward, who suffered a frac-'tured leg in the Northwestern game.!Howard Blair of football fame is theoutstanding star of the aggregation,1and the man most to be feared by thejVarsity. The faculty number of The Phoenixis out today with a benignant coverand indignant contents.The cover design, of a brilliantblue, depicts a University dean caughtin a moment of professorial ingar¬rulity. Ronald McLeod, the artist,refused at a late hour yesterday tomake public the name of the dean.However, several clues to his identityare hidden in the vicinity of the leftear lobe, according to Hal Noble,editor.Included in the magazine thismonth are several Twin-bedtime tales,a graphic plot chart for the use ofthose students who attend chapel,shaving songs of some well-knownprofessors, a few of the latest wrin¬kles in evening clothes and a hith¬erto unpublished joke. The joke inquestion is on page 23.Rumors that the periodical wouldbe suppressed because of a soul-revealing sketch entitled, “How' toGet An ‘A’ in Any Course” werefound to be unfounded. A thoroughinvestigation by The Daily Maroonbrought out the fact that the articlemade absolutely no references to theDepartment of Psychology.REQUEST STUDENTSTO HAVE PICTURESTAKEN FOR ANNUALThose Named Must Have Sit¬tings Before Jan. 28,Says CrandallSFr\trf; WITTBOLDSTO DECORATE CLUB 'FOR JUNIOR DANCE' Editor Crandall of the Cap andGown has requested that those namedin the following list have their pic¬tures taken for the 1923 year-bookon or before Jan. 28 at the DeHavenstudio.

Mc¬Farland was for two years a memberof the Park college teams and hasrepresented the University of Michi¬gan once. Baekstrom is doing hisfirst intercollegiate debating, but hisrecord shows that he participated ina number of interscholastic debateswhen he was a student in Centralhigh school of Kansas City.Meet Purple at EvanstonThe Chicago teams were putthrough their final practice last eve¬ning and all members expressed them¬selves ns being readv for the debateand confident that the championshipwill go to the Maroons.

Evanston.David Ziskind, Howard Wilson, andStanley Tumquist will represent theMidway institution against the Purple.Attention of persons who expect toattend the basketball game on Fridayevening is called to the fact that theywill be able to hear a considerablepart of the debate by going directlyto Mandel hall after the game. Thedebate will not commence till R:1R.and those who go directly to Mandelwill be able to hear at least half ofthe constructive speeches and all ofthe rebuttal.(Continued on page 41 IT WAS GOOD WHILEIT LASTED BUT—Bystanders Stepped in and StoppedBout For Law SchoolChampionshipFollowing 30 minutes of hecticverbal discussion of Torts, Contracts,Wills and kindred subjects, G. B.Jones and T. T. Swartz, law schoolstudents, engaged in what started outto be a ten round battle for the legallightweight championship, but which,under the influence of impartial ob¬servers, was limited to a single frame.Trouble started at 10:45 followinga battery of questions which Swartzdirected at the instructers.“You ask too many questions,”said Jones.“What’s it to you,” was the politerejoinder.At 10:50 the opponents jumped totheir feet as the class bell gave thesignal forROUND ONE.Both men waded in with both arms,apparently determined to end thebout at once. Swartz’ uppercutmissed Jones but did considerable in¬jury to the blackboard as Jones’ at¬tempted right to the jaw cut a tre¬mendous gash in the atmosphere.Jones recovered his balance andsparred for time. The round endedwith both men swinging wildly in thearms of pacificly inclined councilors.“I shall not take up boxing as acareer,” said Jones after the match.”“I do not favor boxing as a profes¬sion,” Swartz, the erstwhile question-asker declared in his dressing room inthe law school basement. The re¬wards are interesting but it takes toomuch time away from class work.”LEADERS ANNOUNCELEATHER PROGRAMSFOR WINTER FORMALWill Start Allotment of theTickets in TwoWeeksWashington Prom leaders, FrankLinden, George Hartman, Signe Wen-nerblad, and Dorothy Husband in ameeting with the co-chairmen of theProgram committee, George Yardleyand Elizabeth Jones, yesterday se¬lected maroon leather programs whichaccording to Frank Linden will notonly be decidedly appropriate but thebest that have ever been used at anyprom.In addition Linden said, “The musiccommittee has been negotiating withthe leader of the best orchestra inChicago which we hope to land forthe most important of all the dancesof the college season.”Tickets on Sale SoonThe tickets will go on sale in twoweeks under the management of EgilKrogh, chairman of the finance com¬mittee.

VAN TYNEGIVES VIEWS ONINDIAN PROBLEMGhandi, “Quiet, UnassumingMan,” Says MichiganSavantPREDICTS SELF GOVERNMENT“The British government has solvedthe Indian problem,” was the opinionexpressed by Prof. C. H. Van Tyneof the University of Michigan in hislecture on political conditions in Indiabefore a large assembly in Harperlecture room yesterday.Prof. Van Tyne, who has made adetailed study of the Indian situation,and has just returned from an extens-i ive trip in that country told of hispersonal experiences and observa¬tions in the East.By means of the recent British In¬dian Act, he pointed out, a provisionhas been made for the gradual as¬sumption of political offices by thenatives, w'hich, in time, will place theentire government in the hands of theIndians.Many Ruling Princes“Were British rule to be withdrawnfrom India at once, chaos would re¬sult in that country,” Prof. Van Tynesaid. “There are many princes rulingas many factions; these parties wouldnot readily unite under a nativeleader.”Prof. Van Tyne met and conversedwith Gandhi, the passive resistanceleader who has awakened the entirenative population to his cause. Hewas characterized as “sincere, with aprofound faith in his beliefs; a quiet,unassuming man, who is loved by allIndia.”Tells Gandhi ConfessionIn speaking of the rebel leader’strial, Prof. Van Tyne told of the con¬fession of Gandhi, in which he ad¬mitted all charges made against him.He told his judges that they shouldeither convict him or respect his views.With such complacence he wasmarched off to prison where he nowsits as the leader of a passive revo¬lution of 320,000,000 people.In time, Prof. Van Tyne believes,India will be a self ruling division ofthe British Empire, enjoying the samerights and privileges that Canadatoday possesses; but this state of af¬fairs will not come for many years,and then only by judicial administra¬tion on the part of the British govern¬ment.CAGE TOURNEY FORGREEKS UNDER WAYWITH EIGHT TILTSTuesday night marked the openingof the Inter-Greek basketball tour¬ney, which is to run for the next sevenweeks.

Swearing is a staple in con¬versation, and the too sad fact is,that “damn” has degenerated into asynonym for “very.”The Puritan recites the first com¬mandment and sermonizes on the ter¬rifying awe of invoking a divinecurse. He even abjures “gosh” and“darn” as devil-devised word corrup¬tions. If any of us believed that ourconjurations would actually damn ourvictims eternally, we should curb ourtongue, that is, for most victims. Butno one does imagine this. Even aPuritan who is not tongue-tied ordumb, must concede that there issomething psychologically satisfyingin a strong, round “damn.” It purgesour feelings as slamming a door does.It has the emphasis of a right upper¬cut.Cursing should not be eliminated; itshould be conserved. Revive the gentleart of swearing. Promiscuous cussingdishonors the practice. Artistic curs¬ing is thing of beauty, a joy tolisten to. Long John Silver, the pi¬rate, mastered the art. College stu¬dents are blundering, two-phrased(“hell” and “damn”) amateurs. AsBob Acres in “The Rivals” explains,“There is no meaning in the commonoaths—to swear with propriety, the‘oath should be an echo to the sense;*and this we call the oath referential,or sentimental swearing—’tis genteel,isn’t it?”What will the man who exhaustsbis vocabulary over a broken shoestring say when his wife elopes wPhanother man. His state is deplorablewithout- an unused cuss word to re¬lieve it. Nor can you blame the -wifefor leaving such a ‘run off at themouth’ fellow. Conserve your ex¬pletives. Make your swearing a mat¬ter of emphasis and artistry. Thenno longer will your cursing be idlytolerated.

Onewell known and far-famed instructorlast quarter was absent from his class,if it can be called that, oftener thanhe was present. He made no attemptat organization, gave no systematizedinstruction, but gave an extensiveexamination. It is to his credit thathe failed no one. He was conscien¬tious in one respect.Candidates for the freshman base¬ball squad are disgusted with thecoaches because they have not beenable to get started with their train¬ing. although it is now the third weekof the quarter. As one man expressedit, “How can the University hope tohave winning teams when thecoaches give us no encouragement andno co-operation?”It is generally known that we arein an athletic slump. The track teamis weak. The basket ball team showsnothing promising. The base ballsquad lacks experienced players. Amember of the track team remarkedto us recently, “Wo aren’t getting anyreal coaching. T got a book Gill (theIllinois coach) nas written on how todevelop your speed after you have afair endurance, and I’m trying outwhat he suggests. Tt looks like myonly chance of getting some realcoaching.”As long as the athletes feel as theydo the slump will continue. TheDaily Maroon favors an investigationof the matter by University adminis¬trators and interested undergraduateorganizations. There should be ameans of making the coaches coachand the instructors instruct.Dean’s Resignation DeniedEdgar J.

Carr.Of the problems studied, those ofthe most importance were the methodof increasing an average person’sspeed in the process of learning a“maze,” determining of the most fa¬vorable conditions under which a ratlearns a maze.Almost 400 human subjects havebeen experimented upon by a Chinesegraduate of the department, in his in¬vestigation of methods for the in¬crease of speed in learning. Duringcertain trials he informed his sub¬jects of their mistakes and errors. From the result? of this experimenthe has concluded that: “a person’sspeed in learning a maze may be in-’creased by giving him some know!-!edge of his success and failures, butonly a limited amount of such infor¬mation is beneficial.”Finds “Fawrable Condition”Another graduate student in thedepartment discovered that the mostfavorable condition under which ratswill learn a maze or problem box iswhen an interval of 18 hours is al¬lowed between each trial.At present the Psychology depart¬ment is experimenting on variousstudents to determine the varying-1conditions and results of musculartension in the human body. A device, jused when the body muscles are under jtension and when they are relaxed, isibeing employed to measure the speedand energy of involuntary response topainful stimuli. The results of theseexperiments have not been determinedbecause of the insufficiency of numberof times in the operations.Try Unnatural FeedingDr. W. E. Blatz and W. T. Heron, graduate student, are working on theproblem of the ability of rats to runin a maze by unnatural feeding. Therats are being fed supravenal glandsand pituitary glands, which are ob¬tained from cattle at a Chicago j>ack-ing plant. The results will be readyfor publication soon.INVITE C. AND A.
