No. 5 ®j)t Bail? illaraonUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1926 Announce ScoreClub dance for22nd.Price Five Cent*WHAT OFlife of this college, as I see it, is thelack of intimacy between the pro¬fessor and his students. Humbly Istate the fault, and humbly I pro¬pose a way of rectifying it. I am,this quarter, in the classes of twogentlemen who have always a largefollowing—Mr. Philip Schuyler Al¬len and Mr. James Weber Linn. InMr. Allen’s class there are, I shouldestimate, about eighty of the betterminds of the school, and Mr. Linn’sdisciples run even higher—well intothe three figures, as the boys say.It is obvious (and both Mr. Allenand Mr. Linn admit it) that thosewho teach such hordes cannot pos¬sibly hope to ever fully know andunderstand each individual studentof the mob. Possibly they don’t wantto; I could understand such a view¬point.* * * *But I do not really think such isthe case. Both Mr. Linn and Mr.Allen (and many other professorssituated as they are, too) are notonly ready, but are actually desir¬ous of setting up contacts with theboys who come to their lecture roomswith open minds and (frequently)open mouths. If there is no othercommon ground between professorand student, there at least is the oldargument that, after all, both arehuman. And the cause of humanityhas been offered as an argument forfar worse things than professors’ teasin the past. f* * * *At Yale (that mecca of the olderintellectuals and the younger toss¬pots) it is traditional that Sundayafternoons be devoted to open-house affairs at the professors’houses, where, amid tea >cups, pro¬fessors’ wives, and Huntley andPalmer biscuits, the professor andthe boys get to know each other bet¬ter. At Illinois, the practice doesnot flourish in an open state, butprofessors’ pink tea is bootleggedpretty freely about. Prof. BruceWeirick, one of the pedagogues withless of a custom-built mind than isusual among the educators of Cham¬paign County, for instance, is al¬ways ready to give ear (and eventobacco) to any of the boys at theGreatest State University who hap¬pen to need a hand up in surmount¬ing their intellectual doubts, fearsand inhibitions. And in other cen¬ters of learning, too, the practice ofstudent and teacher getting togetheron terms of .fellowship (or at leastacquaintance) is not unheard of.* * * *But at Chicago nothing has everbeen done along the lines I havelaid down. Possibly their studentsdiscourage the professors; possiblythe professors are a clannish lot;possibly the students are. Whateverthe reason is, the required contacthas not been set up to any degree cal¬culated to make the world a betterand happier place. True, a profes¬sor has offered us a bit off the cho¬colate bar he w7as munching, andanother has partaken of midnightmilk and schneken with us, butthese are merely exceptions thatprove the rule. The rest of thescholarly fellows keep to themselves.* * * *My suggestion to alter the situa¬tion is simple. It merely asks ofsome of the leading personalities ofthe school—Linn, Allen, Huth, Moul¬ton, Howland, Wilt (but there are somany of them!)—well, that theystart the movement. The method ofthe get-togethers, should I submit,follow the Yale plan. If the profes¬sors will promise not to serve upPostum and A. & P.’s Best tea attheir brawls, I will guarantee to lendmy presence to the affairs. That, atleast, ought to give things a start. LONDON BISHOP ON CAMPUSOFFICIALS SAYTHEY WILL NOTPROHIBIT CARSVice-President WoodwardAssures StudentsOwn AutosBecause transportation in the cityis bad enough without such a prohi¬bition, and because it would be im¬possible to enforce such a rule in acity of Chicago’s size and nature, thefaculty has decided not to prohibitthe use of automobiles by students,according to Vice-President Wood¬ward.Three American universities, Illi¬nois, Michigan and Ohio State, haverecently prohibited the use of auto¬mobiles by students, while among theoutstanding foreign institutions Ox¬ford has a similar rule of severalyear’s standing. Mr. Woodward saysit is significant that all of these uni¬versities are located in cities muchsmaller than Chicago.Northwestern University recentlydecided not to prohibit the use ofcars by students for approximatelythe same reasons, although the offi¬cial announcement of the decisionwas accompanied by a notice sayingthat Northwestern students wouldbe expected to live up to the letterof the law. This was caused by thearrest of .several students for viola-i tion of the Evanston traffic rules.:Head Aide Backon Campus AfterYear in EnglandEdna Wilson, head college aide, whohas been studying abroad on a schol¬arship for the past year has returnedfor her senior year at the Univer¬sity.While in England, Miss Wilsonserved on the National Council of Ed¬ucation at Cambridge in Newham Col¬lege. She has been given full creditfor her work which was in Botany andZoology.When on campus previously, MissWilson was a Federation Sponsor, hadcharge of the Women’s Fashion Show’of 1925, algo secretary-treasurer on In¬terclub council and Sign of the Sickle.She has a Phi Bela Kappa average forher three years of college work. Sheis a member of Chi Rho Sigma.YALE MEN LEARNTO LIKE RELIGIONYale students for the first time intwo hundred and twenty-five yearswere free to decide whether or notthey would attend chapel, Yale likeNorthwestern University has yieldedto the demand of the student bodyfor making chapel non-compulsory.According to the Yale Chronicle not¬withstanding this decision of theYale administration every seat inBattell Chapel was filled for the mat¬riculation sermonPresident Angell in speaking ofthe step taken said that there wereundoubtedly a few who hold all re¬ligion in contempt and would conse¬quently be adverse to the old re¬quirement. It was also annoying inmany cases for the students to ariseearly and to be made to attend Sun¬day chapel when otherwise he couldspend his week-ends out of town. Thedecision would probably not havebeen made if it had not been thatthe supporters of Christianitythought that the modern conditionswere harmful Why Walk a Mile?| Dash To ReynoldsFittingly kissing tradition good¬bye, dear old Reynolds, yesterday,broke the hearts of thousands ofloyal Chicago alumni and studentswhen the lowly weed (knownhere as the cigarette) was of¬fered for sale to all who couldafford the usual fifteen or twentycents per package.The Reynolds Club for severalyears has seriously debated thequestion 4>f selling cigarettes tosave the three or four block walkto the nearest cigar store but didnot actually gain the courage todefy so called existing traditionsuntil this quarter.So now University men andwomen may smoke.(or burn) withthe Reynolds Club as they see fit.MASON WELL;RETURNS SOONPresident, Ill Five Days,Confined By DoctorPresident Max Mason is recoveringvery rapidly from his illness andwill be able to resume his normalroutine in a few days. This promis¬ing news was received from authen¬tic official sources, so that there needbe no alarm in regard to the healthof the head of the university.It was learned from the samesources that de-arrangement of thestomach was the cause of the presi¬dent’s confinement. Not only is heimproving rapidly, but it was learnedthat if it were not for his physician’sorders confining him to his bed, thathe would be attending to his dutiesas usual. President Mason’s illnesshas already kept him in his -bed forfive days, and it will probably be atleast another week before his physi¬cian permits him to resume his work.TWO PROFS.

Fenn, Dean of theHarvard Divinity School, welcomedthe Meadville Theological School,newly added to the campus, in an ad¬dress at the eighty-second commence¬ment service of the seminary, held inthe First Unitarian Church of Chi¬cago Thursday, October 1.“The Meadville Theological School,which has recently transfered itselffrom the small town of Meadville,where it has been for the past eighty-two years,” stated Professor Fenn ,'isthe latest of the seminaries to leave theisolation of the country location forthe large University city, where con¬tacts with the facilities offered by theUniversity, and the advantages pre¬sented by the immediate proximity ofa great city with all its complexitiesand problems, are of inestimable valueto those who are training themselvesto meet the varied demands of themodern ^ministry.It was most fitting that ProfessorFenn deliver this address, for, whenminister of the First Unitarian church,he first considered removing the Mead¬ville Theological School from its for¬mer location.

Mgr.Robert MasseyIF YOU HAVE A FRONT SEAT-MAROON ADS OFSERVICE TO BUYERSPEOPLE at football games, we have observed, have acquired adefinite technique of seeing the game. They sit down and standup according to a established scheme. And they stand up mostof the time.The principle upon which the system works seems to be under¬stood by everyone. For end runs and forward passes, and for ev¬ery play that promises to be spectacular the whole congregation risesas one man. For line plunges and times out they stay seated.This business of constant rising and sitting has its drawbacks.First, most people who have* paid for their seats would rather sitin them than stand in front of them; second, a great many of thespectators have their view of the held momentarily obscured at themost interesting flashes of the game; third, short people don t seeany of the spectacular work at all.Football crowds have become so habituated to the idea ofstanding up and sitting down that they do it almost automatically.They can, however, be cured. At the Dempsey-Tunney fight in theSesqui-Centennial Stadium one-hundred and thirty thousand peoplesat through ten rounds of championship fighting, and stayed seated.The announcers had requested them in advance to be courteousenough to retain their seats.Such a solution might be tried at the football games here. Thecheerleaders might ask the crowds to remember that there are peo¬ple sitting behind them who came to see the game and not to exer¬cise. Football crowds are not so lost to civilized courtesy that theywould disregard such a request. Everyone could see the game. Have you something to sell? Some¬thing to rent?

Personal ambition to makegood in campus activities is often supplemented by fraternity ambi¬tion. Fraternities have a perfectly understandable but often unwisehabit of “pushing” their freshmen into activities, willy-nilly. Thenewcomer is in no position to see the road clearly. He is more apt tooverestimate the importance of extra-curricular work than to over¬estimate the work of the class room.The time that a student spends on campus activities is rarely acomplete waste; too much time, however, spent in sideshows oftenleads to poor grades and occasionally to dismissal from the Uni¬versity.Before diving into the activity pond the freshman should ex¬periment with himself as a diver, and should ascertain the depth ofthe water.And after all, he should remember, the Main tent does puton the biggest show. j * 79th and Halsted Vincennes 9889VNIVERJITY TEA*HOV5E-5725 Kenwood Ave,45c LUNCHEON Hyde Park 619975c DINNERTheHOMEFOOTBALL GAMEandRADIO BOARDThe only truly scientific Football Game which has justenough element of chance to fascinate and thrill all Collegemen and women, High School boys and girls as well as theolder grown-up Football fans.PRICE $2.00Now for sale at:THE UNIVERSITY BOOK STORE, 5802 Ellis Ave.WOODWORTH’S BOOK STORE, 1311 E. 57th Si.T.

Nicholson, director 'of stu¬dent affairs at the University ofMinnesota is quoted by the “OhioState Lantern” as saying:“There is no reason whatsoeverfor the University of Chicago of¬ficials taking such absurd actionas banning co-educational foot¬ball trips. They are merely takingthe word of a distorted formerstudent of the University of Illi¬nois who is prejudiced and is over¬whelmed with a desire of ped¬dling rumor and hearsay.”PURDUE PASSESSHOW STRENGTHBoilermakers Real ThreatTo StaggWithout disparaging in any fashionthe Saturday performances of any ofthe Big Ten members, it can be saidthat the high scores run up by most ofthem are meaningless when the caliberof their opponents is taken into con¬sideration.Only one team displayed a threat toMaroon hopes. That was Purdue intheir tough battle with the Navy. Aswas expected, Phelan’s lightweightsdisplayed a clever passing game whichbodes ill for the Maroons after therather ragged defense the Staggmenexhibited against Florida’s passes Sat¬urday. Chicago meets the Boilermak¬ers the 23rd of this month, and by thattime Stagg will have polished off someof the rough edges of the Maroons’defense against aerial attacks.Although the Conference teams’ op¬ponents this Saturday are somewhatmore dangerous than last week’s, avictory can be chalked up for each ofthe Big Ten machines right now, withbut one possible exception. NotreDame’s “Fighting Irish” invade thelair of the Gophers Saturday and abattle royal is sure to result..

TRICKY YEARLING MACHINE MAKESPROGRESS WITH PENN FORMATIONSIN MUDDY SCRIMMAGE SESSIONStagg Continues To Drive Line In Preparation For PowerfulMaryland Outfit; Easterners BoastFive VeteransBy Victor RoterusThere is a lot to this game of foot¬ball. No one realizes this better thanA. A. Stagg’s Maroons who have beenon the receiving end of a barrage oflessons for the past few weeks, andwho were required to master quitean additional chunk of pedagogy lastnight when the coaches had them snapand skip through an exhaustive prac¬tice conducted in slicker-weather.As a result of Stagg’s intentionsto devote most of the week to drillingthe linemen in the finer passes of thesport, this particular section of thesquad was in for it again last night.They got it going and coming. Theywere placed on the defense against thecrack freshman team most of the timebut they also came in for offensivedrill when the second string varsitybacks were given an opportunity totransport the muddy footballs.Use Penn PlaysThe freshman, tutored by Fritz Cris-ler, used Pennsylvania plays exclusive¬ly in their attack. As this Saturday’sopponent will be Maryland, and Penn¬sylvania will not be played for anotherweek, this was a surprise to some Ma¬roon followers. However, the Penngame is the more important, and asPenn and Maryland both employ sim¬ilar methods of attack; the coachesprobably believe that defensive workspent on the offensive tactics of oneteam will give the men sufficientknowledge of the other.The freshman team’s execution ofthe plays was fairly effective consid¬ering the slippery ground and the wetball. Everything was tried and all ofit bordered on the tricky, now-you-see-it-now-you-don’t sort of stuffwhich is charatceristic of eastern foot¬ball. Criss-crosses capped by either aline plunge, end run or pass, and dif¬ferent varieties of fakes abounded. Thefreshman were smeared for lossesmany a time but a number of theplays were completed for gains. Thevarsity backs formed the secondary defense and they were chiefly concern¬ed with the passing. Mendenhall, Ter¬re Haute flash, did some commendableheaving for the yearlings. He is acool, finished player.Drives LineEvery lineman was shoved into ac¬tive duty and though they charged infine style some of the tackling wasfaulty. After a time Stagg took thefirst string backs aside and gave themtheoretical offensive practice.The Maryland team possesses morepoundage than the Maroons but Camp¬bell Dickson who scouted them lastweek said that the Maryland playersewre not in condition when they play¬ed South Carolina. Five of the east¬erners played regularly last fall. Theyare Adams, end; Zulick, tackle; Baf-ford, center; Linkous, fullback, andCapt. Stevens, halfback. Boyd, quar¬ter, and Leatherman, tackle, played agood share of last season. Pugh, anewcomer, has proved himself to beone of the Old Liner’s best backs. Heis a drop-kicker of unusual ability. Allthe Maryland backs are adept passersand ballhandlers and this is essentialto the success of the Warner type ofattack which Maryland uses.As Stagg seems to have also madeopen playing a vjtal part of his team’sequipment there should be a verymodern football game played here nextSaturday. ,STUDENTSWill find theHYDE PARK ARMS HOTELAn Ideal Place to LiveWhile Attending theUniversity of Chicago$10.50—$20.00 Weekly5316-18 Harpet* Ave. Fairfax 9700r—1——Ehrlich Wants To See You—at the FamousReal Home CookingRestaurantEfyrltrlftiSroaitamu (ttafe5540 Hyde Park Blvd.C-27biPage Four THE DAILY MAROON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1926DEAN HALL, laying down someof the extremes of the law of Torts,explains that if somebody just ticklesyou against your will you have thelegal right to recover damages for as¬sault and batterj’.
