Chandra Sena Goolneratne, a nativeof India, who is now studying at theUniversity, has undertaken to give aseries of lectures during the remainderof the school year, on subjects drawnfrom his life in India, “to try to reachtothers and bring the truth of Indiato them.”Chandra comes from an old high-caste family, and was formerly a stu-| dent in Ceylon. His people had hiscareer all mapped out for him, but asthat went counter to his later idea*of service, he left his home and peopleand went to war. He has been withthe British and Indian armies and haswon distinction at three differentfronts—Mesopotamia, Persia, andFlanders, in France.Since the war he has spent a yeardoing student work among his owncountrymen, and Scotch students atthe Edinburg university, and anotheryear with the Indian students’ Unionand Hostile in London. He is nowtaking up his studies at the Univer¬sity, where he left them at the out¬break of the war.William Von Noe, son of Prof. A.C. Von Noe of the Botany and Geol¬ogy departments, will conduct the tourfor Mr. Chandra. “Already,” he says,“the news of Chandra’s splendidspeaking and worth while messageshas spread, and two of his topics havebeen requested. One is “The Web ofIndian Life” which deals with thetraditions, customs, home and templelife of an ancient people, and the otheris “Rabindranath Tagore”—the PoetLaurcat of the Orient. Both are ex¬ceedingly interesting.”Mr. Chandra will talk at variousplaces in Chicago during the weekand on week ends. During the shortvacation periods he will lecture atpoints outside the city, according tohis tour manager. His first talk willbe at the Hyde Park hotel on Mon¬day, Feb. 16.

DECIPHERS ANCIENTSTAR WRITING HEREHow the priestly servants of a su¬perstitious Assyrian monarch wroteon the top of a black stone picturesof constellations symbolizing lettersof the emperor’s name is one of thediscoveries reported by Prof. D. D.Luckenbill of the University, whohas just returned from severalmonths’ work in the British Museum.Prof. Luckenbill went abroad tocheck the readings of cuneiform rec¬ords which are to be used in com¬pleting the great dictionary of theAssyrian language which is beingmade by members of the staff of theOriental Institute of the Universityunder Prof. Luckenbill’s direction.About 400,000 cards which recordAssyrian words and analyze themacccording to the contexts in whichthey appear have been assembled.This work, which has already con¬sumed about four years, is to go onuntil this, the first comprehensivedictionary of Assyrian, is finished, infive or six years more.Among the records examined wasthe so-called Black Stone of Esar-haddon in the British Museum,which had been published and stud¬ied by other Assyriologists, but itwas not until Prof. Luckenbill re¬examined it this year and was vis¬ited by what might be termed a flashof “archaeological intuition,” thatthere was revealed the curious se¬cret it bore. There was plainlystated in the cuneiform inscriptionsalong the sides of the stone thatsymbols relating to the constella¬tions were written on the top, butthe connection with the name of theemperor Esarhaddon, son of Senna¬cherib and father of Assurbanipal,last of the great Assyrian emperors,had not been noticed.Prof. Luckenbill studied the pic¬tures and also the cuneiform writ¬ing, which stated, in effect, that theruler had placed on the stone “paint¬ed figures of constellations in thelikeness of the writing of my name.”He found the figures of a shrine withthe crown of the god of heaven uponit, a palm tree, a leopard, a moun¬tain, a plow, another palm tree, anda chariot, evidently attemptnig bothto depict constellations which thoseancient priests had regarded withwonder and awe, and to providerough counterparts of the cuneiformletters constituting the name of theruler. The picture writing makes,according to this reading, the words.“Esarhaddon am I.” The use of theparticular kind of black stone is ex¬plained by the fact that earlier inAssyrian history it had been custom-(Continued on page 4)JAP DANCERS PRODUCEATMOSPHERE OFFAR EASTWith their own stage effects lend¬ing an atmosphere cf the Far East,the dance artists, Konomi and BacIshii ,will interpret Japanese class¬ical music and other selections ofoccidental themes Saturday at 8 inMandel hall, according to A.

Noinitiation privileges for the Winterquarter, is the penalty.Last night when checking over thescholarship standards of the frater¬nities on Campus, Dean Wilkins foundthat the pledges and members of DeltaTau Delta had not maintained a “C”average for the Autumn quarter.Alpha Tau Omega and Sigma Chiwere put on probation last Thurs¬day for the same reason.Enforce RulesThese penalties, the Dean explained,are the result of violations of scholar¬ship rules which were announced tothe chapters on campus last quarter.“This policy of fraternity proba¬tion,” said Dean Ernest Hatch Wil¬kins, “which is intended to bring upthe scholastic standing of fraternities,is in direct line with the plans used atvarious other large ^ universitiesthroughout the country.”Average Not KnownLast Autumn it was announced thatany fraternity whose scholarship rec¬ord fell to the average of “C—” couldnot go on without an effective repri¬mand. The ruling followed what theDean pronounced to be extremely poorscholastic work by fraternity men inthe Spring quarter.The first penalties enforcing theruling were made last week. At thattime Alpha Tau Omega was deprivedof the right to initiate and Sigma Chiwere deprived of social privileges. Inthe case of the A. T. O.’s the per centstanding was 1.992.

The average Rus¬sian student cannot afford to buybooks. He tries to live on ten dol¬lars a month, which pays for foodand lodging. The libraries cannotsupply him with books. Every in¬vestigator who has spent time amongRussian professors has been im¬pressed by the shortage of journalsand recent books.The following letter is being dis¬tributed to the students of Univer¬sity college:Student Friendship DriveThe University of ChicagoJanuary 26, 1925.Dear Friend:You as a student of UniversityCollege have realized the value of acollege education and know some ofthe hardships which confront stu- jdents everywhere. But Americanstudents have little conception ofthe more intense personal hardshipswhich face European students today.We at least have sufficient food andclothing and comfortable quarters inwhich to live.It was to meet the needs of suchstudents that the Student FriendshipFund was organized in 1920. Thismoney is raised by students for stu¬dents; the Student Friendship Fundshould have first claim on us asAmerican students in so far as wehave a responsibility for our fellowstudents in Europe. The drive forthe University of Chicago is beingsanctioned by President Ernest De-Witt Burton and Dean Wilkins, bothof whom commend the movement asa worthy one.We know that you will want tocontribute to this fund and are sup¬plying a blank for that purpose.Either leave your money or pledgein the envelope with your instructorat the end of the hour, or sign yourpledge and mail a check beforeFeb. 6.There are two ways to help stu¬dents: one is to enable them to earnmoney for their expenses, and theother is to put at their disposal thenecessities of life cheaper than theycan be retailed. The Student Friend¬ship Fund uses both these methods,so your contribution will help in twoways. We feel sure that you willappreciate your own education more,knowing that you have helped some¬one else to secure his.Sincerely yours,Student Friendship Committee.Edward Bazazian,Katherine Barrett.Co-chairmen.P.

The football fans all over, in gen¬eral, and the ones right here, in par¬ticular, Poll}- Sigh. In as much as lieis the oldest coach in the conference,the nickname was affectionately ap¬plied to the Midway grid boss.2. That’s the truth, K. Y. W., whenthe campus was young, “professorsmade their way about as well as theycould, dodging teams, avoiding der¬ricks, but rejoicing in the promise ofincreased facilities," which they neededbadly. Under such conditions, thescientific departments were crowdedinto the narrow store rooms in thefour-story brick building on the south¬west corner of Fifty-fifth street andUniversity avenue. In such limitedcompartments, the departments ofPhysics, Chemistry, and Geology car¬ried on their work during the entirefirst year.3. The gradual growth of underfrad-uate sentiment against dishonesty incampus work increased to such an ex¬tent that in the Autumn quarter of1913 the undergraduates voted morethan four to one in favor of the tem¬porary formation of an “honor com¬mission.” The following statementquoted from the Cap and Gown of1914 shows the development of themovement acording to the undergrad¬uate point of view:"At the Council elections in Febru¬ary the Honor Commission was madea permanent organization of the Uni¬versity of Chicago. . . . It is work¬ing to bring about a clearer under¬standing by instructors and studentsas to what constitutes dishonesty, andto secure greater uniformity in theconduct of examinations. It hopeseventually to create a sentimentagainst cheating, which shall renderdishonesty impossible at the Univer¬sity of Chicago.”4.

Liliiums, I'll leave it to your ownjudgment as to what kind of a sociallife our big brothers and sisters had,after you read this little ditty writtenby Steigmeyer, away back in the nine¬ties:“Oh, the girls were mostly twenty-eight, and after Ph.D.’s.They took four hours in those olddays; there were no extra fees.And the men were mostly married,which proved a great hoo-dooTo all society events.

Thelack of experience in competition onthe part of the dash men on the Ma¬roon team was one of the reasonsfor the showing they made. Ed.Noyes, in the 40 and 100 yd. swims,was nosed out because of a poorstart, poor turns and poor finish.His swimming, however, was fast andshowed that with a little more train¬ing on the finer points of startingand turning he will be able after thisto make an excellent showing in thenext meets. The relay team and thedush men were inclined to pound thewater instead of swimming, but thisfault can be corrected.Harkins Does WellHarry Harkins, the breast-strokeman, made an excellent showing inhis event. He swam with perfectform and endurance were exception-Markley did not win the back-strokeevent, his performance was promis¬ing.Lane, who knew nothing aboutswimming when he entered school,pleased everyone by his performancein the 220 and 100 yd. swims.

He placed third in the 220, los¬ing only by inches.The real surprise of the meet wasthe work of Atwood, who placed firstin the plunge for distance.Team Shows InexperienceIn spite of the fact that Michiganis said to have an exceptionally goodteam, Coach McGillivary was disap¬pointed at the lack of experience incompetition of the team.

It isestimated that Chicago’s team isequally as strong as that of last yearwhich captured the conferencechampionship, and every man on thelearn has had the advantage of atleast two years* experience.“Ohio State is probably ourstrongest opponent this year,’’ saidCoach Merrill, “but with reasonablygood luck we should win the foilsand probably the sabres.’’There are to be three other duelmeets this quarter: Purdue and Wis¬consin at Chicago, and Chicago atIllinois.

It was invented twenty yearsago by Thomas, hut he has been mak¬ing public appearances of the machineduring the last three years only. Hestarted his experiments with a cigarbox, his latest finished product is atwenty key board affair, extending thelength of an entire stage. The ma¬chine he demonstrated last night wasonly one fifth the other machine’s size.People left the hall in doubt as towhether the machine, as Wilfred says,“has come to stay.’’ “The use oflight, as a fine art, has come to stay,"he says, “and, although pioneer workis hard it is a glorious work, for it‘overcomes prejudices and difficulties.”A weird galaxy of forms, expressedin depth, form, and color were shownon the screen in front of the machine.At one instance in the evening’s pro¬gram the people spontaneouslylaugljrd; at another time, they viewedwith awe the marvelous colors, thestupendous blendings of forms whichThomas produced at will. Mere wordsfail to describe the feelings which pre¬vailed over the audience. Everyonehad a different opinion on whatThomas describes as “a machinewhich has come to open a gatewayinto new world’s of beauty.” Winter Sports IntramuralsProgram Towards Semi-FinalsIntramural sports under the super¬vision of Kim Valentine and HowardBriggs and direct control of GrahamHagey, Winter sports head, are wellunder way. Twenty-four teams, fourof which are non-fraternity squads,are entered in the bowling tournamentand it is expected that play will gointo the semi-finals on Feb. 25.Team standings are computed on apoint basis, one point being given foreach fifty pins and an additional pointfor each kame won. Three games con¬stitute a match. For the six matchesplayed, Beta Theta Ti holds the highgame with 2,074 pins, and also thehigh match. Bob Wison of BetaTheta Pi bowled out the record gamethus far with a score of 189. At thisearly date it is quite impossible to de¬termine even league winners, and allteams arc tightening up for the las-tfew weeks of play.Basketball Teams Fighting HardMost of the teams in the basketballleagues have played off two or moregames.

The examination schedule ofthe University has therefore beenpushed ahead two weeks, due to theshortage of water.

These “boundary stones”had inscribed on them the record ofthe grant of the king, as well as thefreedom from certain taxes and lev¬ies which went with the royal gift.The Black Stone was Esarhaddon’sgrant of royal protection and free¬dom from taxation to Babylon, de¬stroyed by Sennacherib and now tobe rebuilt under his son.Prof. Luckenbill told also of an¬other find which was the identifica¬tion of the name of Shalmaneser V,who besieged Samaria in the days otHezekiah (II Kings, 18, 9 v.) in acuneiform tablet, also in the Brit¬ish Museum. This fragmentary in¬scription, hitherto assigned to “anunknown Assyrian king,” thus turnsout to be the first cuneiform recordof Shalmaneser known to Assyriolo-gists.Photographs of a clay prism whichcontains the same inscription, thoughin a more extended form, as those onEsarhaddon’s Black Stone werebrought home. ❖❖ CLASSIFIED ADSFOR RENT—Light, clean rooms,nicely furnished; near the Universi¬ty.
