Wa* Greek VenusMade Armless? No!“Don’t get excited when peopletell you that Venus de Milo neverhad the arms which have madeher so famous,” said Walter Sar¬gent, chairman of the Art depart -went, when questioned concern¬ing the new theory.,. A recentlyunearthed replica of the originalVenus, which belongs to a periodshortly after the first one, wasalso without arms, from this,art'sts drew the conclusion thatthe statue never had been com¬pleted, and that when the sculp¬tor had finished the rest of thegraceful figure he did not feelcapable of completing the arms.“The Greeks did not leave theirwork unfinished, as that theorywould imply,” said Mr. Sargent.“A modern sculptor might dosuch a thing, but the ancients hadtoo great a sense of fitness not tofashion the arms of their goddessof love and beauty.”FORUM TO DISCUSSRELIGION-SCIENCE ALPHA DELTA PHIHEADS LIST FORWINTER QUARTERDean Wilkins CommendsGreeks on Showing; FiveReach B-AverageThe fraternity scholastic standingfor the Winter quarter, released yes¬terday to The Daily Maroon, shows,in the words of Dean Ernest HatchWilkins, “a distinct and gratifyingimprovement in general standing.”Every fraternity on the list has a Caverage or better, and Alpha DeltaPhi leads the lineup with a generalaverage of 3.954, nearly a straightB average.The more remarkable upwardshifts in the comparative scholasticstanding were made by Alpha DeltaPhi, who jumped from sixteenth tofirst; Kappa Sigma, who went fromninth to third; Phi Kappa Psi, fromtwenty-third to seventh; Delta Kup-pa Epsilon, from twenty-fourth tofifteenth; Alpha Tau Omega, fromthirtieth to twelfth; Delta Tau Delta,from thirty-first to twenty-sixth; and Manly Flails Mencken ForAmerican Dictionary StandRelation of Geology to Re¬ligion Is Today’s Subject (Continued on page two)“What has geology to do with re¬ligion?"

SchultzFriday evening (April 17) at a meet¬ing of the Chicago section of theAmerican Institute of Mining andMetallurgical Engineers. The meet¬ing will be held after a dinner in therooms of The Chicago Engineers'club, 314 Federal street. The so¬ciety will meet jointly with theAmerican Institute of Electrical En¬gineers.Mr. Schultz is a well-known chem¬ical engineer and former productionmanager ;r. charge of mines andplants of the Radium Company ofColorado. Prof. A. C. Noe, of theUniversity, is chairman of the pro¬gram committee. Americans who know the “Amer¬ican language,” a large staff ofAmerican men and women fully con¬versant with dialects and eager tosearch out from the remotest sourcesanything bearing on the historicaland racial bases of American speech,will do the actual research for thegreat Dictionary of American Eng¬lish, work on which is to begin at theUniversity of Chicago this year. Theentire task will have the supervisionof Prof. William A. Craigie, who iscoming to the University from Ox¬ford; and this fact, bringing a manof unique gifts and experience inorganization, will not only ensureprogress in the work, but also willenlist the efforts of one who may becounted upon to recognize Americandifferences from English usage morequickly than the best of Americanscholars.This, in substance, was the re¬sponse of Prof. John Matthews Man¬ly, head of the department of Eng¬lish at the University of Chicago,when he was asked to discuss a re¬cent article by Henry L. Mencken,criticizing the dictionary project onthe ground that an Englishman wasto direct the work. Mr. Menckenwrote that what he called “the peda¬gogues who profess the English lan¬guage and its branches among us’’regard it as their duty “to enforcerelentlessly the rules of a tongue thatexists only in books, and that theoverwhelming majority of Americansnever speak, seldom hear, and oftencannot even understand.” Mr.Mencken in his article inquired:“Why was it impossible to find suf¬ficient talent in America?” He alsocomplained that when his own book,“The American Language,” was is¬sued “the gentlemen of the Englishfaculty fell upon it with ferocity.”Mencken Uninformed“Mr. Mencken wrote his articlewithout having informed himselfabout the plans for the Dictionaryof American English,” said Profes¬sor M»nly. “If he had taken thetrouble to inquire about these planshe would have learned that two pro-(Continued on page two)University Pioneer in Field of Geography SaysProfessor; Sees Change In Scope of SubjectA**t. Prof. R. S. PlattThe exploration of unknown landsappeals to most of us. It is some¬times said that the age of discoveryis past: there are no more continentsto be discovered, and the last distantobjectives, the North and SouthPoles, have been reached. Medalsstill are awarded every year to menwho have been penetrated andbrought back reports from moun¬tains, deserts, and polar lands. Butwith every year the range of the un¬known is narrowed and the range ofexploration consequently limited.Yet when the last mountain hasbeen scaled and the last snowfieldcrossed, exploration will not beended; only the first phase will becomplete. Preliminary reconnais¬sance is followed by detailed investi¬gation, and there is no region of theworld for which this has been com¬pleted. Even the most densely popu¬lated and highly developed regions of th'e world are inadequately knownand understood; the exact natureand ^significance of the natural en¬vironment, the relative advantagesand disadvantages for human lifehave not been ascertained. It is astriking fact that geographical so¬cieties have devoted more attentionto information about unoccupieddeserts than to information about in¬habited regions which are importantto millions of people.Geography ChangesHowever, this situation is not like¬ly to continue. The old subject ofGeography has become revitalizedwithin the last few years and has as¬sumed the function of investigatingthe regions of the world in detail intheir relation to human life and ac¬tivities. Geographers are no longersimply men who try to fill in blankspaces on the map, and geographyis no longer a superficial descriptionof lands and people for sixth grade consumption. The problems ofgeography are such as to engage thebest efforts of trained men, andthere is now no more reason forstopping geography in the sixthgrade than there is for stoppingmathematics with the completion ofarithmetic.The tendency in geography is awayfrom sweeping generalizations aboutwhole continents and toward closerobservation of relationships andmore accurate analyses of cause andeffect in paiticular districts. In¬stead of looking only for queerplaces and people far away, geog¬raphers are studying the equally ab¬sorbing problems of people close athand in relation to the complexnatural environment of their local¬ity. Thus the building up of a de¬tailed knowledge of the world hasfinally begun, after the preliminary(Continued on page two) EDWARDS TO SPEAKAT Y. M.’S SMOKERBeta Epsilon Entertains in SouthLoungeAsst.

Three ofthem, Delta Tau Delta, Sigma Chi,and Alpha Tau Omega sank belowthe “C” average level which is re¬quired for eligibility by University |rulings, and Dean Ernest Hatch Wil¬kins of the Colleges of Arts, Liter- iature and Science, plaeed the three ;delinquent ones on probation, partly ■to ppnish them for their laxity in !study, partly to act as a spur and an iincentive to drive them onward to jbetter scholastic achievements.The goad was wonderfully effica-cious. Alpha Tati Omega, which had joccupied thirtieth place in frater¬nity standings at the end of theAutumn quarter, moved up totwelfth place during the brief threemonths of the Winter term. DeltaTau Delta and Sigma Chi did not im¬prove to the degree that the A. T. :O.’s did, yet these two, also, so bet¬tered their standings that they arefar above the danger line of the even“C” average.And the trend of these three fra¬ternities4 improvements is an excel¬lent index for the general movementof the curve of fraternity scholarshipstandings at the University. In theAutumn quarter standings, but onefraternity, Tau Kappa Epsilon, wasfortunate enough to be the possessorof a “B minus” average. Now fivefraternities can claim this distinc¬tion, while a host of others are closer 1to the mark than they have been everbefore in *their lives as campus or¬ganizations. Not only did the three jfraternities which Dean Wilkins puton probation feel the need for a vast jimprovement in scholarship; thewhole category of Greeks saw thehandwriting on the wall and tookheed in time. Suggestions To Be SolicitedThrough Means ofQuestionnairesSuggestions for the Senior class giftto the University will be solicited inchapel today. Questionnaires will bedistributed among the students in or¬der that they may offer their ideasconcerning the choice of a class me¬morial. Members of the class havebeen requested to give the matter se¬rious thought before filling out thequestionnaires.In previous years it has been thecustom for the graduating class ofeach year to leave behind a gift to theUniversity. The Class of 1925 is mak¬ing plans to continue the tradition.The gift‘ presented to the Universityin the past have been in the line ofpermanent contributions to the differ¬ent libraries, and to the buildings andgrounds surrounding them. Some no¬table additions to the University inthe form of class gifts are the botanybridge, the Senior bench, and thedrinking fountain.Vote on Best IdeasThe suggestions which are submit¬ted through the student questionnaireswill be turned over to the Class Giftcommittee headed hv Marie Taylorand Charles Koeper. After carefulconsideration the five best suggestionswill he chosen by the committee.These five most promising ideas willbe submitted to a class vote for thefinal choice of the 1925 class gift atSenior chapel Thursday, April 23.Marie Taylor, co-chairman of thegift committee, urges a serious con¬sideration of the suggestions proposedby the students in order that the giftmay he the best memorial received bythe University.Alumnae Head Talkr at ChapelAt chapel services today the Seniorswll he addressed by Grace Coulter,president of the Chicago Alumnae, andby Pete Russel, president of the Chi¬cago Alumni.

Downward plungeswere made hy Beta Theta Pi, whodropped from seventh to tenth; andTau Kappa Epsilon, dropping fromfirst place to eighth.Wilkins PleasedDean Ernest Hatch Wilkins ex¬pressed himself as being greatlypleased with the remarkable rise,and the fact that no fraternity hadan average so low as to incur pro¬bation. His statement follows:“The record of the fraternities forthe Winter quarter shows a distinctand gratifying improvement in gen¬eral standing. It is a good thing tohave so strong a fraternity as AlphaDelta Phi at the top of the list; itis a good thing to have five frater¬nities with a B average; and it is agood thing not to have any frater¬nities below C. All the fraternitieswhich were below C in the Autumnquarter have come up. The improve¬ment of Alpha Tau Omega is par¬ticularly creditazle.“The general average for thewhole undergraduate body is B—I look forward to the time when thiswill be also the general fraternityaverage. The better work a groupdoes, the more it will enjoy its otheractivities, and the more likely it isto be qualifying its men for real suc¬cess.”The list of scholastic standings is asfollows, giving in the order named, the fraternity, rank, grade, taken all, andnumber of members graded.Alpha Delta Phi, 1st rank, B—grade, 3.954; 39 members graded.Alpha Epsilon Pi, 2, B—, 3.604, 8.Kappa Sigma, 3.

The writercomplained of the “everlasting blah-blah about a winning football te^m,”' of the high salaries paid to coacheswho train a mere handful of profes¬sionalized athletes, of the activitiesof alumni to brine more athletes toNorthwestern.His complaint has already at¬tracted wide attention, as it should,for it is well-written and courageous.Truthful, too, in at least one respect.For on every campus, too many stu¬dents take their exercise by proxy,cheering and gesticulating up in the concrete stands while a mere hand¬ful of specialists go through the phy¬sical motions. As a confession of thesins of Northwestern, the article, iftrue, must have been good for thesoul of both writer and reader.As to this latter point, we do notpretend to know the conditions onthe Evanston campus as far as sub¬sidizing athletes is concerned. Butas to the general implications of theeditorial, we feel bound to take ex¬ception, in duty to the Universityand to the “Old Man.” We are notgiven to vociferous boasting, but weare proud of the fact that the nameof our Alma Mater is without taintof professionalism.We want the Purple rooters toknow, when they come to Stag fieldthis fall to play football, that theywill not, in the words of the edit¬orial, be “Watching 22 men—orrather employes—battle for suprem¬acy.” We want our neighbors fromthe North to know that at leasteleven of the battlers are true ama¬teurs in every sense of the word.And we have the temerity to hopeand to believe that Northwestern’steam will be likewise, since it alsohas a tradition of clean athletics touphold. MANLY FLAILS CRITICOF NEW DICTIONARY(Continued from page one)fessors of American birth and train.:ing, Prof. James R. Hulbert and my¬self, who are as familiar with theAmerican language as Mr. Menckenis, will take part in the editorialwork on the dictionary; that fundsare being sought for a research as¬sistant and two fellows to devotetheir whole time to helping in thework; and that the editors hope, andhave reason to expect, that a largonumber of American citizens of bothsexes, including all the leading pro¬fessors of the English language, willcooperate with them by collectingpiaterials for the dictionary. Pub¬lic announcement was made at theChristmas meeting t)f the AmericanDialect Society, and promises of co¬operation were secured. If Mr.Mencken had attended that meeting,or had made inquiry of the presi¬dent of the University of Chicago,he could have learned the facts aboutour dictionary project.”“What was the principal reasonfor enlisting the services of Profes¬sor Craigie?”Craigie Experienced“It was, of course, because Pro¬fessor Craigie has had twenty-eightyears of experience on the greatestdictionary undertakings the worldhas ever seen. It cost the producersof the Oxford Dictionary years oftime and piles of money to learn thesimplest, best and least wastefulmethods of collecting, organizing andpresenting their materials. It seemedwise to profit by their experienceand begin with a full knowledge ofall they have learned in the sixty-fiveyears since they began work on theOxford Dictionary.”“You would say that an English¬man would be quick to recognizeAmerican differences from Englishusage?”“Often he might be quicker thanan American to recognize them. EvenMr. Mencken is not aware of all thepeculiarities of his own speech. ThatProfessor Craigie will not always un¬derstand American idioms is ad¬mitted, but his American associatescan be trusted to understand anyvariety of American English that hasyet been produced.”Point of View ValuableProfessor Manly added: “The value of the foreigner’s pointof view is often very great. Thestandard hook on our form of gov¬ernment is ‘The American Common¬wealth,’ by Viscount Bryce. Thebest study of the present status ofthe British constitution is the recentbook by President Lowell, of Har¬vard.”“Do American professors confinethemselves to enforcing the rules of‘book English’?”“Mr. Mencken knows, or ought toknow, that the best teachers inAmerica welcome freshness of idiom,even to the extent of approving cur¬rent slang when it is apt and ex¬pressive.”“How about the ferocity of the at¬tack? upon Mr. Mencken’s ownbook?”Reviews of Mencken Favorable“He admits in the preface to thesecond addition of ‘The AmericanLanguage’ that the reviews of thefirst edition in philological periodicalswere always friendly and ‘in manycases exhaustive and valuable.’ Cer¬tainly this was true of the twro re¬views by men connected with theUniversity of Chicago, ProfessorsHulbert and Knott, and that by Prof.Bright, of Johns Hopkins. Set Stage For Ball To Be HeldTomorrow NightOne of the largest crystal balls inthe country is being shipped from Cin¬cinnati for the military hop which willhe held tomorrow night at the SouthShore Country club. The ball is twen¬ty-eight inches in diameter and con¬tains a motor which keeps it contin¬ually revolving. Many small multi-hued mirrors will catch the rays ofcolored spotlights which will be foc¬used on the sphere. The ball, which issimilar to the one at the CongressBalloon room, will hang from the cen¬ter of the ballroom.Two huge American flags and manysmaller flags of the Allies will be hungon the walls of the promenade andballroom. The two large flags willdiape from the ceiling to the floor andshould lend a truly martial air to thecadet formal. Stacked rifles and col¬ored' hunting will complete the mili¬tary ensemble.Owen Albert an Lucy Lamon willlead the right wing, and Hugh \\ ilsonand Ellen McCracken will lead theleft in the grand march, which isscheduled for 10 o’clock. Owen Albertis cadet major, commandant, and amember of Beta Theta Pi. Hugh Wil¬son is first lieutenant, adjutant, and amember of Alpha Delta Phi.Don Bestor’s famous nine-piece or¬chestra will start playing at 9 and willcontinue until 2. at which time thehall will close. Bestor is nowplaying under contract at the TerraceGardens in the Morrison hotel. To¬morrow night will he the first timethat he will play outside the Morrison.Bestor has promised to have a fewnovelty numbers which will entertainthe dancers.Tickets, with few exceptions, haveall been sold, according to Hugh Wil¬son, who has charge of the sales com¬mittee. The only remaining bids arethose still in the possession of thefraternities. The entire allotment tonon-fraternity men and alumni wasdisposed of at an early date. Promi¬nent military and civil officials will bethe only exceptions to the paid admis¬sions. (Continued from page one)reconnaissance has been performed.University s PioneerThe University of Chicago is pion¬eering in the new field of geography.In a recent investigation of gradu¬ate schools the University was con¬ceded to have the leading Depart¬ment of Geography in the UnitedStates. It is the oldest and has thelargest regular staff of any such de¬partments. The various members ofthe staff are specialists in their fields.As already indicated, it is not pos¬sible to accomplish satisfactory in¬tensive work covering whole contin¬ents, but as a starting point variousmembers of the staff have appro¬priated continental spheres of influ¬ence within which to work on select¬ed critical problems.The courses in the departmentnecessarily cover more ground thanthe research problems of the mem¬bers of the staff, but, even in these,the intention is to treat known crit¬ical problems fully and carefullyrather than to cover every phase ofthe subject equally with more or lessinadequate generalizations.The task of geography will not befinished in this generation. Whenwe know as much about the wholeworld as we know now’ about thebest known district, still new re¬sources will be discovered, and lifewill be adjusted in new ways tonatural conditions.CHOOSE LYTLE AND HITZIN CLOSE VOTE(Continued from page 1)new constitution and the rushing ruleswas distributed at meeting to eachrepresentative of the fraternities.“ Fourth, the council inaugurated anew system of handling the scholar¬ship cards, whereby the fraternitiesreceive their reports in a uniform andcondensed maimer.Inaugurated Intsrfraternity Ball“Fifth, the council inaugurated some¬thing which we hope will become atradition on campus, the Intertrater-nity ball. It was held this year at theBlackstone hotel, and we hope thatthis occasion will be observed eachyear in the future, as it comes as thefirst formal dance of the year, and weurge that the new officers adopt theplan to make it a traditional one.”COWHEY’SMEN SHOPMEN’S WEAR & BILLIARDSS.

The play was character¬ized by the steady playing of Frank¬enstein, who won his serve consist¬ently throughout the match.Valentine and Schaefer were con¬tinually on the jump, but were un¬able to match shots with the ex-lead¬ers.

Entries forboth tournaments will close tomorrownight.Every organization competing forintramural points will be allowed toenter one doubles team, and in addi¬tion any two unattached men may forma team and enter.

STAGG TO DIVIDEGRID SQUAD INTOSECTIONS SOONWill Put Veterans and NewPlayers in SeparateGroupsHaving stressed conditioning exer¬cises in two weeks’ work on the fun¬damentals, Coach A. A. Stagg is toconclude his preliminary practicedrills this week and start on theheavier work of spring football.Preparations are being made in thedividing-up into two sections of thehalf-hundred candidates now workingout daily. Veterans will composeone section and will be under thecoaching of the Old Man. The non¬veterans, mostly of freshman andsophomore classification, will becoached by H. O. Crisler and Stagg,Jr.Many men of unknown ability willbe included in the non-veterangroup, and will be given ample op¬portunity to show themselves worthyof the veteran class. The scrim¬mages, which will come after eachsection has had some work at signalpractice, will be lengthy enough totest out the actual playing ability ofeach man. Special emphasis is tobe laid on forward passing, as thisdepartment has been regarded asdangerously weak in the last twoseasons.McDonough Shows Up WellBig things have already been ac¬complished in practice this spring.Several new men are already showingmuch promise. Among these is JohnMcDonough, of last year’s freshmanteam, whose regular position is quar¬terback, but is turning out to be anall around player. He shows promiseof developing into a strong end bynext fall. Don Yeisley, who hasbeen counted on as a running matefor Elmer Lampe, is out, but willhave to step to beat McDonough.Several new candidates making prog¬ress in the race for this job. Amongthem are Gleason of Hyde Park andMicklebury of U. High, both fresh¬men.The positions between the ends arebeing tried for by many ambitiouscandidates, who are being trainedby Joe Pondelick and “Bub” Hen¬derson.

The fact thatonly one of these teams has beenseen in competition this year makesdoping of the games rather specu¬lative, but some indication of theirstrength may be had by consideringtheir achievements of last year.In the Beta league, Phi Beta Deltaplays Delta Kappa Epsilon. Theformer team with Gervich and Sackas the battery did fairly well lastyear, and this year with Peristein be¬hind the bat ought to do equally aswell. The Dekes had a strong team last season, taking second to thepowerful Phi Gam outfit in theirleague and with Kennan and Tildenas their battery appear to have aslight edge on their opponents.In the Gamma league the PiLambda Phis meet Alpha Sigma Phi.The Alpha Sigs had a .600 percent¬age last year, and this season withJacobson pitching and Caruso offootball fame doing the receiving,look like a potent aggregation.The Delta league’s contestantswill be Zeta Beta Tau and Psi Upsi-lon. The Zeta Betes with Berksonand Weil as the battery looks like astrong outfit, while the Psi U.’s whowon their league championship lastseason, seem as strong as ever if Ravenscroft pitches. This should beone of the most closely contestedgames of the afternoon.Phi Gams Are StrongIn the Epsilon league, Tau DeltaPhi will hook up with Phi GammaDelta. Little is known of thestrength of the Tau Delts, but thePhi Gams’ performance of winningtheir first game on Tuesday by a25-1 score speaks for itself. Withsuch stars as McCarthy, Bartlett andRhlston the Phi Gams ought to makea strong bid for the all-universitychampionship.In the non-fraternity league theMacs will take on the Romans, and,judging from the traditional rivalrybetween these two organizations, thegame should be hotly contested. out an infield bit and stole second.

KLEITMAN GIVESRESULTS OF HISSLEEPLESS TESTSIFurther developments in the phy- !siology experiment of Dr. NathanielKleitman, of the department of phy¬siology, have been announced. Thepurpose of the experiment, in whichsix young adults were kept awakefor 115 continuous hours, was ex¬plained in a previous issue of TheDaily Maroon. The results were re-1leased yesterday.The experiment showed progres¬sive inability to keep the musclescontracted. After the first two days,the subjects could not write legibly.They were able to write a few wordsand then their pens trailed off intomeaningless lines. In tests whichrequired them to identify differentcolors, they proved efficient over ashort period of time, but inaccurateif the tests were continued over along period.Temperature Changes SlightDuring insomnia, temperature os¬cillations were less pronounced. Un¬der normal conditions, the tempera¬ture is comparatively low early inthe morning and high late in theafternoon. But during experimentalinsomnia the fluctuations betweenmorning and noon were reduced con¬siderably.It was shown that during insomniathe subjects had an abnormal meandisposition. They became unreason¬able, and resented the action of anassistant whose duty it was to keepthem awake, even though they hadvolunteered their services. Lack ofmental adjustment during sleepless¬ness is indicated, according to Dr.Kleitman. It was found, in addition,that dreaming and hallucinations oc¬ curred during this enforced wakingstate. In one case a student recitedlogarithms perfectly to an instruc¬tor; but he realized later that duringhis recitation he had been imagininga dispute between a laborer and acapitalist.Study Final SleepWhen the subjects were finally al¬lowed to sleep, they were carefullyobserved. They were all found tohave “positive Rabinski reflexes”which are supposed to occur onlywhen the connection between thecerebral and spinal centers has beenseveral.
