■ ■Iifl Vol. 24 No. 55 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO,'FRIDAY. JANUARY 9, 1925ADVISERS SELECTEDTO ASSIST DEANSWITH FRESHMENExperienced Staff ChosenFrom Faculty and Univer¬sity Graduate StudentsGreater convenience and facility forfreshman students wishing advice orconsultation from their respectivedeans is incorporated in a new plan,which consists of the appointment ofa staff of Freshman advisers, to as¬sist the deans in such work. Thisplan will enable the students to con¬sult their advisers more easily, andwill at the same time, lift a little ofthe burden from the deans.One or more faculty members ofexperience in such matters have beenassigned to each of the deans, andthey will assume the place of confi¬dential advisors to the students, bothin regards to administration matters,and to any special problems aboutwhich the freshman student mightfeel the need of official advice.The following official statement isreleased to The Daily Maroon fromthe office of Dean Ernest Hatch Wil¬kins:“The service of the deans to themembers of the Freshman class is tobe supplemented for the rest of theyear by the service of a staff offreshman advisers. These adviserswill have time to talk with freshmenindividually, not only about theirwork, but about difficulties or prob¬lems or interests of any sort that thefreshmen may want to talk about.Each student is free, always, to cometo his dean with any problem what¬soever; but the advisers will supple¬ment the dean’s work in this respect.The advisers are men and womenmost of whom have had much experi¬ence in teaching or administrationelsewhere and are studying here witha view to fitting themselves for laterservice as college teachers or admin¬istrators.The assignment of advisers todeans is as follows: Dean Allee:Mr. Porter and Mr. Smith; DeanBoucher: Mr. Marriott and Mr. Mer-riain; Dean Glattfeld: Mr. Nutting;Dean Norton: Mr. Hekhuis; DeanKingsbury: Mr. Bond and Mr. Dim¬ock; Dean Smith: Mr. Leftwick;Deans Breckenridge and Wallace:Miss James; Deans Flint and Logs¬don: Mrs. Powell. Fraternity Thief Specialist CaughtWith Midway Loot; Docs Say CrazyFEDERATION EXPLAINSCURRICULA ANDCOURSES By Victor WisnerHans Benning, Detroit prep schoolboy, made a tour of Midwestern col¬leges just before Christmas last quar¬ter; he looked in on the University onthe nights of December 19 and 23;he ended up in Crawfordsville, Ind.,at Wabash college two days afterChristmas. Now he is n the Bride¬well, in Chicago, waiting for hisfather to come from Detroit to sendhim to a sanitarium in Germany.Hans is a professional fraternitythief. Since he attained the age oftwelve (he is only seventeen now), hehas spent his energies devising meth¬ods of filching valuables from care¬less and unwitting Greek-letter soci¬ety men, while passing bad checks asan avocation and means of subsistencebefore he became adept at the moreelevated and effete trade.Hans ran away from home to slinkabout fraternities in various Middle-Western colleges and get pointers on“ business.” His father captured himand put him into military school atCulver; he left there over four weeksago to start out on another tour ofunsuspicious Greek dwellings; he end¬ed up in the Bridewell at Chicago.Hans’ father was driven throughbankruptcy trying to pay for the badchecks for which Hans had beencaught. In the last two years he hashad to make good more than threethousand dollars’ worth of the falsetender, while Hans, meanwhile, hasbeen touring the country, dropping inon fraternity after fraternity, takinghis choice and choosing the best.On the night of Dec. 19, Hans firsthit Chicago. About twelve or oneo’clock, he stopped at the Phi Psihouse, looked over the ground, sawthat all of the lights were out, openedthe door, and walked in. Hans’ greatfamiliarity with fraternity houses hastaught him that few of them ever arelocked; he opened the Phi Psi doorand walked in.It was Thursday night, just afterexaminations had started, and the PhiPsis were all exhausted by the effortof study. Hans was not disturbedas he prowled about the mansion.In his depredations, Benning haslearned that method brings more dol¬lars than brilliance; be started withthe first floor and entered every un¬locked room from the basement tothe attic. In “Bob” Curley’s room, hepicked up a few dollars lying on a(Continued on page 3)“Curricula and Courses” will bethe topic for consideration of the Fed¬eration discussion group for the nexttwo meetings. Federation will spon¬sor the first open meeting of thisgroup Tuesday at 7 in the library ofIda Noyes hall.The first hour will have for itstheme cultural courses, that is,courses taken generally for broadculture. At the second gatheringspecialized courses will be considered.“We have heard many people saythat they know very little about manyof the courses offered here,” saidIsabel Kincheloe, president of Fed¬eration, “and the purpose of thesediscussions is to answer just thosequestions. At the first meeting gen¬eral courses will be taken up, and atthe second, special courses. We feelthat students must know all aboutmany of the courses in order to choosecorrectly just which ones they wishto take or would be interested in, andwhich would best benefit them in thespecial field they wish to enter afterthey leave the University,”C. BOOK NOTICEA reversal of the order, whichwas made in yesterday’s Maroonin announcing that Tuition receiptswere not necessary in applying forBasketball C. Books, was madeagain today. A Tuition receiptmust be presented at Bartlett be¬fore the C. book can be obtained.

The tea will be under the di¬rection of the hostess of the house,Mrs. Henry F. Whitmore.The speaker this week will be Asst.Prof. Emerson H. Swift, who will dis¬cuss English Gothic architecture. Thelecture will be an illustrated ore inwhich Mr. Swift will especially takeup the architecture of the Universit* By Deemer LeeConfirmation of Einstein’s “etherdrift” theory was made last night byProf. Albert A. Michelson of the Uni¬versity. The announcement was madeby Prof. Michelson in a lecture atOrchestra hall, when he describedbriefly the experiment that he andProf. Henry G. Gale have been con¬ducting at Clearing, Ill.The result of the exeriment, eager¬ly awaited by scientists of the worldand discused for the last six monthsby newapapers and periodicals of thenation, came unexpectedly. The finaltest was made only yesterday morn¬ing, barely in time for Prof. Michel¬son to include in his illustrated lec¬ture last night.“It is one more striking confirma¬tion of Einstein’s brilliant work,” theprofessor said. “It confirms bothEinstein and the ether theory and isone of the few greatest experimentsever conducted on the relativitytheory. We expect to make other cal¬culations later, but I believe that theobservations which we have alreadymade are fairly accurate.”One fifty thousandth of an inchproved Einstein right. By means ofthe interferometer, an instrument in¬vented by Michelson, was used tomeasure the very minute displace¬ment of light fringes that occured inthe experiment. Had there been nodisplacement of fringes, the experi¬ment would have meant nothing.The apparatus, consisting mainlyof a rectangle of water pipe—1,800feet wide by 2,100 feet long—is lo¬cated out at the end of 65th street,on a cold, windswept prairie. In twosmall shacks, at one corner of therectangle, are the arc lights, meas¬uring instruments and a vacuumpump which exhausts 95 per cent ofthe air from the calked pipe circuit.It was racing two light beamsaround the pipe circuit in oppositecircuit — relayed around the cornersby mirrors set at an angle of 45degrees—and then judging the finishof the race with the interferometer,that they were able to detect theslight difference in time required forthe two beams to travel the distance.“I would rather have conductedthe experiment in some obscure cor¬ner, without all the publicity that ithas caused. For then, if it didn’twork I could have cast it aside andgone to work on something else,” saidthe great professor as he finished hislecture.But the Einstein experiment wasnot all that he talked of. That wasjust the climax to his dramatic pres¬entation of the crucial experimentswhich he has conducted during hislifetime in the interest of science.Orchestra hall wasn’t a concertroom last night. It was a laboratory,Prof. Michelson took the place ofFrederick Stock, and conducted anaudience of people, who were special¬ly invited, through a class of physics.Most of the time it was dark, whilethe professor illustrated his lecturewith-a spectrascope. Drawings andphotographs of various experimentsand scientific theories were thrownupon a mammouth screen.Scientific technecalities were for¬gotten, and Prof. Michelson spoke notin terms of known and unknownquantities but in the language of hisaudience, telling them in clear, simpleEnglish the results of his life work.Some of the explanations were won-derlully clear and the audience ap¬plauded long.When President Ernest De WittBurton introduced Prof. Michelson, hespoke of the progress in researchwork that had beer. made. Since thetime of the late President Harperwho directed his energies towardgathering the world’s greatest talert.Prof. Michelson, he said, was curiousto know how rapidly light moved.

It seems hardto dfcnate cash for some more or lessindefinite purpose when one can findso many immediate ways to spend itand receive material satisfaction inthe act.When, however, the expendituretakes the form of a social event, suchas Settlement Night, or of some otheraffair in the course of which the stu¬dent gets something in return for hisnjoney — or thinks he does, whichreally means the same thing — it be¬comes consderably less of an effort.In paying for pleasure, one is cus¬tomarily more careless of his money,in small amounts, at least.But there are other kinds of inter¬est which may he derived from near¬ly all of these drives. A study of thesituation in each case will, nine timesout of ten, prove intensely absorbingto even the most provincial and self-centered collegian.In the instance of the drive whichwill be opened next month for therelief of the Russian students, look atonly a few of the facts. Such a pre¬ponderant percentage of the studentsare working full time every day in or¬der to keep themselves in existencethat many of the universities are nowopen only at night.In one Russian city, a group of stu¬dents, being unable to find lodging ofany kind what ever, came upon abuilding which had been partly builtand then abandoned. They got to¬gether and, working between classes,finished the building as best theycould with makeshift equipment, andused the construction, poor as it was,for their living quarters the rest ofthe school year. As an illustration ofhow the Russian students who havebeen enabled, partly or wholly, throughaid from the United States, to pursuetheir studies in our own country, ithas been estimated that approximatelyeighty-five per cent, of their workclassified as better than “ fair,” whichterm we take to indicate about a Cor C— grade in the University ofChicago.Of the total amount of money ex¬pended by those in charge of the Stu¬dent Friendship Fund, the apportion¬ment was as follows: Russia, $254,-227.60; Germany and Central Europe,$146,235.18; Foreign students in theU. S. A., $8,550; and World’s StudentChristian Federation, $18,000. Fromthis it can easily be seen where thegreatest distress lies.To mention another instance of th®Russan situation; In Lvov there areeighty students living in some atticrooms which are equipped with onlytwenty-five makeshift beds, six chairs,one washstand, and one oil lamp. Atthe time the Relief official visited theplace, the outside temperature wasten degrees below freezing and therewas no artificial heat in the room atall. To the Editor of The Daily Maroon:The fact of the matter is, that thetrustees dispose of about three dol¬lars for every one that we put intoour education;—and so we under¬graduates have no right to kickI about what is offered.That is quite true. We have noj kick. We have only gratitude andj praise. But we feel that the thirty-J three and a third per cent (or there-1 about) justifies a small suggestion orrequest here and there, with a help-J ful and constructive spirit to backit up. Besides, this article wouldnever be printed if it consisted ofonly glorification for The GreatMiddle-West, and of “Go Chicago,Go!” jingoisms.And what are a few of these“small suggestions” or otherwise?Well, there are a few triflingthings, like new combination lockersfor Bartlett gym., that will not re¬quire a half an hour and a shoe forthe opening,—a mere detail, obvi¬ously. I understand that new lockshave already been ordered, a yearsince.Then we should like to be freedfrom the petty tyrany of second-rateinstructors—such as grade partly bypersonal whim or fancy, such asmark in science courses on the basisof an English criterion, or viceversa. We realize that there is farless of this than sore-headed stu¬dents are wont to imagine. Also,we realize that faultless instructorsare a myth and a fable. However,to clear up the air on this matter, weask for a system by which appeal canrightfully be made to higher author¬ities, we ask for the possibility of aredress of grievances.Some of us favor the “flunk orpass” system, as an encouragementfor more sincere intellectual inter¬ests. We also favor a greaterweight on originality and reasoning,as against mere memory—a thing ex¬ceedingly difficult to bring about, butone highly desirable when we con¬sider their relative value out in theworld. A book can remember betterthan a man but it cannot think aswell.We feel, too, that the personalityand inspiration of the truly greatmen of this University should begiven to the new arrivals who needit most. What a frightful waste ofwholesome influence that our great¬est men should touch so few! Fos-dick speaks to his thousands; Con-well and Galli Curci likewise; ourgreat men to a few at the end.Precious voices, so confined! Let theintroductory courses, and the fresh¬man courses be taught by the bestthe University has to offer—if neces¬sary to classes of five thousand,surely a system that is impersonalenough but nevertheless yieldingpersonal influence enough! Presentthe best of personality and inspira¬tion to those who crave and need itmost, not alone to those already onsome pet intellectual pursuit!Or, if the object of this Universitybe wholly or mainly that of trainingteachers, and that of a graduateschool, will this not be the best sortof an educational experiment, tend¬ing to efface one of the main advan¬tages the small college has over thegreat University. And how else canthe rapidly swelling demand forhigher education ever be met?Finally, we should like to ask, ofthose who may know, why a “LiberalEducation” is of so little practicalvalue. The average college gradu¬ate leaves his University worth aboutas much, or less, than his weight ascommon labor. Some stick at com¬mon labor all their lives. What isthe use of spending so many thou¬sands of dollars on men and women,“training them to enjoy the higherasthetic and cultural values of life,”as one college president has put it,with no guarantee of the where¬withal to indulge those delights. Isthis not comparable with buildingSteinway pianos without legs?Paul Bearer.Subscribe forThe Daily MaroonSPECIAL RATESMONDAY AND WEDNESDAYShampooing SOrWaving so<-THE JONES BEAUTYSHOPPE1373 E. 55th St.Hyde Park 6941 GARGOYLES ELECTOFFICERS; DEBATENew Members Added forWork in ProductionsGargoyles, dramatic association ofthe University, held their initial busi¬ness meeting of the quarter yester¬day. Mari Bachrach, president of theassociation, presided. The businessunder consideration consisted of elec¬tion of new members, elections of as¬sociate members, questions on theconstitution, and general resume otthe last year.William Kerr was elected to mem¬bership, having played in three pro¬ductions, “The Dover Road” beingthe latest. The following men andwomen were elected to associatemembership, havng played in oneproduction: Ruth Atwell, Ralph Lind- jop, Eliabeth Downing, Thomas Mas¬ters, John McDonald, Edward Helle-braftdt, F. Woods Miller, DorotheaLowenstein, Ethelyn Abraham, Mar¬tin Solomon, Robert Madison, MadgeWoodward, Ted A. Anderson. Leon¬ard Weinberg, Maurine Lacoff, andDorothy Freund.Vote Three TimesAfter three undecisive votes, it wasagreed to continue admitting associ¬ate members only after beng in oneproduction or having worked on thebusiness staff. It was thought thatmore interest in dramatic productionscould be aroused in the student bodyif students merely interested in thestage were admitted. Aftr debate, itwas the concensus of opinion thatGargoyles would not profit by thearrangement, as it would not only losethe honorary status which it nowbears, hut it would become looselyorganized. JUNIORS ATTEND THEATERIN BODY(Continued from page 1)and Zoe Sutherland, in charge of theaffair, is not, “A good time was hadby all.” “It can be anything else,”he added. This will be left to eachjunior to decide for himself, accord¬ing to Cullom.Fills Particular NeedSuch an affair is believed to fill animportant need of the campus in asocial way. To see a show by way ofa social function is a thing not oftenenjoyed by most students, an accountof the prohibitive cost of (1) theatretickets, and (2) automobile trans¬portation to the loop. Both of theseexpenses are materially reduced ina large-scale party of the sortplanned, according to the committee.Other activities of the Junior classfor the Winter quarter include aseries of mixers. The first of thesewill be an introductory affair for thebeginning of the season; and otherswill follow at appropriate intervals.They will be financed through atwenty-five cent levy upon the mem¬bers of the class.

Daugherty is a fastforward, while the lanky Karnes isa crack shot. Kassel, the all-Confer-ence football end, has been playingboth center and guard in faultlessfashion.

With perfect aplomb,he ransacked> the house, rummagingthe studies, while only a closed doorseparated him from the sleeper in thenext room. He walked into RobertLave'rty’s room, picked up a pair ofshoes and tried them on, for his ownfootgear was worn and dirty. Laver-ty’s brogans did not fit, but thatgave Hans no trouble. He went nextdoor, where Jimmy Johnston slept,tried on three pairs, found that theywould fit him, and took the best, leav¬ing his own shoes on the floor ofJohnston’s study.As no other unlocked doors pre¬sented themselves at the Phi Psihouse. Hans went elsewhere, to justwhat house he does not remember,and walked off with an overcoat. Hecalled a Yellow cab about four o’clock,drove to the nearest hotel, meanwhiletelling the cab driver a hard-luckstory, and disposing of Cain’s watchto him for ten dollars and the taxihill.Hans Benning slept well that nightin the downtown hotel, and next dayhe shopped in State Street to com¬pletely refit his wardrobe. In a shoestore he bought a new pair of shoes,leaving those of Johnston’s which hehad stolen, behind him in the store.Then, with what money he had left, to leave the one he had stolen inChicago in exchange. “Always some¬thing better” seems to have beenHans’ motto with reference to cloth¬ing. He alw'ays took something bet¬ter than he was wearing, and he al¬ways left the loser something to sub¬stitute for the missing garment, nomatter how w'retched the substitutemay have been. The shoes he left inJimmy Johnston’s room at the PhiPsi house needed soles and uppers,but they were shoes; the coat he leftwhen he stole another from the otheiGreek house here was ragged of lin¬ing, and worn of cloth, yet it wrasunmistakably an overcoat, fair ex¬change or not.Perhaps the Wisconsin universitywas not as fruitful in loot as Benningdesired; at any rate, back he came toChicago, to arrive here early on themorning of Dec. 24.Two days before, Herb Skinner,member of Chi Psi, had received hisChristmas present, a raccoon coat,three days before Christmas, and hadworn it to a date on Dec. 23. It waslate when Skinner was through withthe festivities, and he stopped at thehouse for the night instead of goinghome.With rare acumen, Hans droppedin on the Chi Psis early that morn¬ing, and relieved Herb of his two-days-old fur coat, his watch and sev¬enteen dollars. With such a coup tohis credit, Hans decided to transferhis activities to another campus; heleft Chicago for Danville; told a hard-luck story there to dispose of Skn-ner’s watch, but did not tarry longuntil he had reached Craw'fordsville,Indiana, and was roaming the campusof Wabash college when caught.There he found his stumblingblock; there Nemesis snatched at himand cut short his career.Hans made his first mistake whenhe tried to sell Skinner’s raccoon coatto a crafty Indiana farmer, for all ofthe fur coat market (students) wherehe had k>oked forward to disposingof the coat, had left college for theholidays. The farmer, the name ofthat wily son of the soil remainsanonymous,—suspected Hans, andtold the sheriff, or, perhaps, the con¬stable, who wired Chicago. In sixhours, Hans was reposing solidly inthe Hyde Park police station, an im¬passable blockade of steel bars sepa¬rating him from the easy pickingsamong the fraternities, on which hehad fed for so long.Peisuasive police methods effective¬ly employed by the Hyde Park cop¬pers caused Hans to confess; a fren¬zied call to Skinner and Cain, whohad lost watches which had been re¬covered, and who could prefer charg¬es against Benning, were made; thecase wras brought up in the ChicagoBoys’ court a few days ago, and Hanswas no longer at liberty. The judge,it is/said, wanted to give Hans tenyears in the Bridewell, but his father,who had made a hurry-up trip fromDetroit, pleaded otherwise. A doctor,an alienist, was constulted and he pro¬nounced the boy crazy.After he had confessed, Hans toldthe police many things. He first sawthe possibilities of using fraternitieswhen he was in the second year ofhigh school, taking Greek. The Greekinitials he saw on the fronts of manyhouses in Ann Arbor intrigued him,and he began the study of how to robfraternities with safety. It wasn’t hisfault, he told the police, the boys wereso careless with their belongngs.The amount of nerve that Hanshe bought a ticket to Madison, Wis.intent on getting more from the state must have possessed, to be able touniversity there than he had beenable to acquire in Chicago.Where he went, W’hat houses heplundered at the University of Wis¬consin, Hans does not remember, forall he took was money, except anovercoat, where he was kind enough walk into a fraternity house, full ofmen who would have done unname-able things to him if they had chancedto catch him, looting their clothes andmoney, to be able to sit down calmlyand pick out the pair of shoes whichsuited him best, take everything thatNATIONAL BANKOF W00DLAWN63rd Street—Just West of KenwoodA Clearing House BankMember Federal Reserve SystemSAVINGS ACCOUNTSCHECKING ACCOUNTSSAFE DEPOSIT VAULTSINVESTMENT SECURITIESAll Departments Open for BusinessSaturday Evening* 6:30 to 8:30 Ky a he desired, and then walk out fromthe house immune, is enormous, iscompatible only with the brain of acrazy man.

ReedThis is the season for colds. Prob¬ably colds account for more absencesand lowered efficiency in Universitywork than any other one cause. Anyprecautions which may prevent a coldor lessen its duration are, therefore,well worthy of Consideration. Hencethe following suggestions which areespecially applicable to persons whoare particularly subject to colds.Avoid prolonged chilling. Thismeans that you should he warmlyclothed when out of doors during coldweather and should be active if in¬clined to feel chilly. If you areswimming or taking shower baths atthe gymnasia finish with a coldshower, dry yourself thoroughly andvigorously, be sure that your hair isdry before going out and spend aslittle time as may be out of doors im¬mediately after the bath. Avoid wetor cold feet. This means adequateprotection against snow and cold, in¬cluding woolen stockings. The airin your room is apt to be too warmand dry. Hang a thermometer in theroom and keep the temperature about70 degrees. The moisture is moredifficult to regulate but it may be in¬creased by proper ventilation or byboiling water in the room when youare to be there for some time.“Canned heat” may be used for thispurpose and this procedure is par¬ticularly helpful if you are inclinedto be hoarse or have a tickling cough.Wear clothes of moderate weight in¬doors and put on adequate outer gar¬ments when going out.Good general condition may behelpful in avoiding colds. Do notbecome over-tired. Have sufficientsleep and exercise. Eat moderately,wisely, and little between meals.Drink plenty of water. Avoid con¬stipation.Some colds are probably communi¬cable, therefore avoid intimate con¬tact with persons having acute colds.If you have a cold (or even if youdon’t) cover your moth and nospwhen sneezing or coughing and urgethe same precaution on others.Finally and most important secure immediate advice and use immediate ,treatment at the first symptoms ofcold, dry, burning or sore throat, per¬sistent sneezing or discharge fromthe nose, or chills. One call on a phy¬sician for advice at the beginning ofa cold may prevent several such callslater. A cold is most easily checkedat the start.Dudley B.

Asfar as serious conversation is con¬cerned. however, the differences be¬tween the language spoken in Eng¬land and that used in the UnitedStates are very slight.Prof. Scott also said that by learn¬ing a list of four hundred words, theinhabitants of either land could travelin the other's country without em-barassing misunderstandings. “TheEnglishman,” he said, “could make along distance call without speakingof ‘trunks,’ he could secure an or¬chestra ‘seat’ in place of a ‘stall,’ ar¬range for a ‘round-trip’ instead of a‘return journey,’ and speak of a i‘freight car’ instead of a ‘goods van.’He could pay ‘taxes’ instead of ‘rates,’RENT A CARDrive It YourselfB:and new Fords and Gear-shiftCars.J & L DRIVE IT YOURSELFSYSTEM6118-28 Cottage Grove Ave.4111 Hyde Park 4181Start the New Year rightCome in and have a bite.Any time of day or nite.You’ll find our price slight.GOODRICH SHOP1369 East 57th St.POPCORN—SANDWICHESCANDIES — ICE CREAMNUTS — HOT DRINKS seek the entrance to the ‘subway’ in¬stead of the ‘tube’ or ‘underground,’and have his wife’s purchases‘charged’ at a ‘dry goods store’ in¬stead of ‘put down’ at a ‘draper’sshop’.”Yet the more fundamental ideas areexpressed by the same words in thetwo countries, such as liberty, Jus¬tice, law, hope, belief, humanity, love,duty.
