Appoint com-mitteees to makefirst Father’s Daya success. Batlp Jftlaroon Year’s first PepSession for Penngame Thursdaynoon.Vol. 27. No. 10 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 13,1926 Price Five Cent.WHAT OFIT?In an accompanying column t hismorning, one Louis Kassel has cometo the defense of Phi Beta Kappa, aninstitution treated with some levityin this column the other day. Mr.Kassel is well qualified to speak onhis chosen subject. A graduate of theuniversity, he was a prominent under¬graduate in his day, having been amember of the society to whose de¬fense he was so valorously come, anda leading contributor to “The Whis¬tle." With these qualifications, it wasno wonder that the Phi Betes turnedas one man to Mr. Kassel in theirhour of need. “The appeal that I de¬fend the position of Phi Beta Kappa,”>aid Mr. Kissd Monday afternoon inapproaching me with the proposal thathis rebuttal be printed in The Maroon,“was not altogether expected. Indeed,I already had my article prepared whenthe petition from my brother Phi Betescame in.” So Mr. Kassel, you see, isnot only a man of conviction and of ac¬tion, but also a man of foresight.* * • *Mr. Kassel’s article is a model ofsound sense and good judgment. Inthis it differs (as Mr. Kassel pointedout to me) from the usual tours dcforce that appear in this space. Mr.Kassel’s stand, indeed, can hardly bebudged from any angle of approach.I. for one, have no desire to budge it—were that possible. I am happy tosee the campus, or that part of it rep-,resented in the Phi Beta Kappa so¬ciety, taking such a marked interestin this column .even if that interesthas its outlet in the writing of indig¬nant “Vox Populi” letters in to theeditor. It shows that what is set downin this column is being taken at facevalue, or considerably more than that,by the collegians. This indicates aherdthy condition of affairs. So I cry,“Long life to Mr. Kassel, and all likehim!’’ It is such as he that makes acolumn conductor’s life passably worthliving.* * * *If I may presume to look at Mr.Kassel’s argument with a critical cockof my head and all, I should point out'ts the one weakness of his entire ef¬fort the deadly seriousness whichcharacterizes it—a seriousness that re¬veals itself from any angel of ap¬proach you may take in looking at hisletter. In the first place Mr. Kasseltakes me seriously. This can be par¬doned. In the second place, he takesthe entire question (if any) seriously.It may, I admit, be of the utmost grav¬ity: but somehow the thought persistsin cropping up in me that the worldwill go on revolving about its axis onan angle of 23 1-3 degrees, whetherMr. Kassel proves me to be in dead¬ly error, or whether he doesn’t. In thethird and last place, Mr. Kassel takeshimself seriously. Everything else Iam inclined to let pass; but this is un¬forgivable.* * * *While I am on the subject of com¬munications received, I shall also citean anonymous note which came inreferring to. a recent column on theclub rushing situation. It closed withthe touching testimonial, “Here is awish that every freshman woman willread it!” if this sort of thing keepsnp, it may develop into my being citeda tonic (like Father John’s or CodLiver Oil) for use by the collegianswhen afflicted with any ailment. This,°f course, is a utopian expression ofhope on my part. It is hardly likelyto be realized in this life. Still, I can¬not resist giving voice to it. For allcolumnists are believers in the IdealState. If they weren’t, they’d be read-Ing other people’s column, instead ofwriting their own.

The en¬tire state of Wisconsin has beenstirred by the article.The students stated that they areconvinced of the incapability of theProhibition experiment to rectify themoral problems of today, especiallytemperance.“The extreme Volstead law hasproved a failure,” the article stated.It went on to say that it had onlybeen proven a failure, but that ithas wrought evils on the youth of to¬day, particularly the college student,that cannot be undone.“The finger of shame has beenpointed to the college students oftheir violation of the Prohibition law.We, who are members of the studentbody of a great university do notpropose to draft a defence of the ac¬cusation by saying there is no viola¬tion. We know that there is. Wheth¬er drinking at the university is onthe increase or decrease is not fori us to say. We should say that it isprobably lessening, but that is be¬side the point. To us, it would seemmuch more preferable to have eachof one hundred students drink legal¬ly a glass of good beer than to haveone incapacitate himself with a bot¬tle of rot-gut alcohol, the article con¬tinued.The Wisconsin men went on to saythat it is not difficult for students tosecure liquor, which is frequentlydone to commemorate the passing ofexaminations, football victories, andother special occasions. They addedthat a local bootlegger guaranteedten minute delivery to student room¬ing and fraternity houses.A number of papers throughoutWisconsin copied the editorial andcommented on its astounding frank¬ness. The secretary of the univer¬sity was busy answering telephonecalls and replying to letters fromstudents and outsiders as to whetherthe Daily Cardinal expressed theopinion of the university.PLAN SEND-OFF FORPENN TRIP THURSDAYElaborate plans are being made fora big pep session to be held prior tothe departure of the Maroon footballteam for Pennsylvania this Saturday,according to an announcement madeby A.

M. C. A. Data ShowsWide Scope of FaithWith the possible exception ofPantheism and a few others, everyconceivable religion seems to be rep¬resented in the university by at leasta small group, according to statisticsrecently compiled by the Y. M. C. A.Tljis information, which was de¬rived from the registration cards ofthe students, shows that the Metho¬dists have the greatest representa¬tion with six hundred and eighty-six;the Jews are second with six hun¬dred and fifty-eight; the Presbyter¬ians have six hundred and sixteen;and the other religions range fromfour hundred down to one or two. 'Largely due to the fact that over athousand failed to indicate their pre¬ference, the information is far fromaccurate. As far as it goes, howeverit shows that the University is, incommon with most other great edu¬cational centers, composed of prac¬tically every religious faith known.A sum total of five thousand onehundred and three men and womenexpressed their preferences, whileone thousand and sixty-nine failedto do so.JCarwin to AddressNewman Club atMeeting in HarperProf. Jerome Kerwin, of the Uni¬versity department of political sciencewill address the Newman Club, Catho¬lic student’s organization, at its firstmeeting of the quarter at noon todayin Harper M-ll.The Chicago branch of the Newmanclub last year reached a membershipof 200 and this year plans a programwith which, according to Jim Lyons,president of the club, they hope to at¬tract the entire group of Catholic stu¬dents at the University.Planning to meet every two weeks,the organization includes both roundtable discussions and addresses for itsshort pre-lunch meeting. The NewmanClub is a national society and haschapters at every large University inthe country. sanctioned a plan which, it is thoughtwill bring hundreds or even thou¬sands of fathers of University stu¬dents on Saturday, Oct. 23. Theevent is to be “Father’s Day,” thefirst to be held at the University.Clyde Keutzer, senior, has beennamed chairman of a committee thatwill have charge of the function.He has announced a brief outline ofa program which he has been work¬ing on since last Spring quarter.The outstanding event of the pro¬gram is the Chicago-Purdue footballgame. Through cooperation withCoach Alonzo A. Stagg, director ofathletics at the University, a block ofseats has been reserved for the fa¬thers. This section of seats willprobably be either in the north orsouth stands and can be reserved bystudents at the football tickets of¬fice by showing a tuition receit.On the morning of Father’s Daya tour of the campus will be conduct¬ed, when the sires will visit all thebuildings-’ on the campus and willhave an opportunity to see the Uni¬versity in action.A dinner will be served in the eve¬ning in Reynolds club house follow¬ing an open house there. Invitationsto this dinner will be issued to everyfather. |Following the dinner a vaudevilleshow will be staged in Mandel halland this will conclude the celebra¬tion.It is expected that Father’s Drywill become a University traditionand will be put on a par as an ac¬tivity with Settlement night. Presi¬dent Max Mason, Coach Alonzo A.Stagg and Dean Chauncey Boucherhave not only approved the plan butare also devoting their time to makeit a success.PRINCE SENDS GIFTOF SWEDISH BOOKSThree hundred books written inSwedish by the leading novelists andhistorians of that country have beenpresented to Harper Memorial Libra¬ry by the Crown Prince Gustav Adolfwho received the degree of LL.Dfrom the University last summer.

Axon, Jr Sophomore AssistantDonald Gallagher Sophomore AssistantDan Costigan * Sophomore AssistantA SUGGESTION FOR THE EXAMINERSA MONG the more incredible fallacies which flourish in university^ offices is the one which presuppose? that the good men are thimen who get good marks. There is a relation, no doubt, betweengoodness in marks and goodness in men, but it is far from a neces¬sary relation.Our university, during the past two decades, has come into sucha position of affluence and good repute that it can be highly criticalin its selection for men for admission. The bureau of Admissions hasbeen gradually raising its standards, which is a perfectly normal andhealthy thing for a bureau of Admissions to do.We comment not upon this standard-raising process, but uponthe nature of the standards. The critique, it seems, is marks. Appli¬cants who by casual brilliance, or by the grind imposed by feelingsof inferiority, or by an exaggerated opinion of the value of goodmarks, or by an inexpensive brand of intellectual ambition, have suc¬ceeded in attaining in high school the grades necessary for admissionto the University, are welcomed without more inquiry than a formalrecommendation from the school principal.One of the bases of selection, and, we believe, the most import¬ant basis, is undeniably the scholastic standing of the applicant. Butscholarship should not be the only standard. The personality of theindividual should be taken into account, his whole background, theconditions which influenced his grades, his potentialities as a studentand as a good man.There is no modest program. First, there is much disagree¬ment about what constitutes goodness in personality and in poten¬tiality. Second, such a mass of information is not easy to gather.But the situation is not impossible of solution. There is a enoughagreement among men about what constitutes such goodpess to make jextremely valuable distinctions. Surely there is enough ingenuity in jthe bureau of Admissions, and enough loyalty among alumni investi- Igators to somehow gather the information.Selectivity on such abroad basis, with no hard, fixed standard of jgrades would improve the quality of the material with which the |University must work. Selectivity on a basis of grades alone, or on |;the ability to pay tuition, is unwise. A___ 1 J. Prentice Murphy RapsWelfare Methods“If modern social work means more jinstead of fewer children to care for iin proportion to the increase in pop¬ulation, then something is wrongwith our methods," J. Prentice Mur¬phy, executive secretary of the Chil- !dren’s Bureau of Philadelphia toldsocial service students of the Uni¬versity Tuesday in Cobb hall, whenhe discussed the problem of the in-!ci'easing number of children to be jcared for by charitable institutionseach year.Mr. Prentice pointed out that too ifrequently children are separated |frolff their parents to be eared for inan institution which returns themlater in life, both physically and men¬tally unfit for competition. He claim- \ed that when this is the case, millionsof dollars are lost annually and sug¬gested that the beginning of caringfor children was not in spending mil¬lions on foster care, but in preventingconditions which necessitates thiscare.Suggests SolutionDevelopment of workingmen’scompensation laws, adequate in¬comes in all trades, and conservationof health were Mr. Prentice’s sug¬gestions for solution of the problem.The Philadelphia sociologist is on hisway to Denver and stopped here toaddress the University students.

Yale and PrincetonAgainst ScoutingBranding scouting as harmfulto footoall, Yale and PrincetonUniversities have signed a non¬scouting agreement, according tothe Yale Daily News.Commenting on the action, theNews says that scouting deprivesthe game of any surprises and any•science and is one of the factorsresponsible for the great bally-hooabout football “over-emphasis.”The News says further that it ispernicious rather than wholesometo watch the enemies camp withthe purpose of getting all of thematerial pertaining to the enemiesattack and that any clever decep¬tions that a team may have areworthless when rival scouts havestudied them in earlier games.Coaches Jones of Yale and Ro¬per of Princeton were the princi¬pals in the new agreement and theeastern college papers are unstint¬ed in their praise of the two. QUAKER ELEVEN EXHIBITS UNCANNYABILITY TO HIDE BALL IN STRONGATTACK OF EARLY SEASON GAMESSpeedy Backfield, HeavyLine, Aids PennDeceptionILUNI LEAD IOWAIN PAST WINSUrbana, Ill., Oct. 31.—If the fu¬ture can be predicted by study of thepast, the Illinios-Iowa football gamein the Illinois stadium at homecom¬ing Saturday, will be an excitingcontest. The Illini and Hawks haveplayed fifteen games in the last 27years and most of the time the bat¬tles have been hard fought.Illinois has the edge on the Hawk-eyes with nine victories as againstsix credited to Iowa. The Illini havepiled up 282 points to 145 scored bythe Hawks. The largest score record¬ed was on Illinois field in 1902 whenJake Stahl’s Illini smothered Towcunder an 80 to 0 total. But Iowa |could look back on a victory by the jtidy score of 58 to 0, won in 1899.the first year the two universities jever met.The first encounter after Bob Zup-;pke took hold at Illinois was in1918. Since then the Illini have tri¬umphed five times to three victoriesby the Hawks. Illinois, since 1899,has won six conference champion¬ships and Iowa three.A famous game was played on Il¬linois field in 1919 when the Illini,using Zuppke’s onside kick play,scored a winning touchdown.* According to scouts who have beenfollowing Pennsylvania’s play thisfall, the easterners’ attack is the lat¬est thing in deception. Coach Young’smen are using an adaptation of thefamous Warner type of offensivewhich abounds in delayed bucks andhidden ball tricks. Maryland’s attacklast Saturday resembled somewhatthe style of play the Maroons willface at Philadelphia this week-end.The Penn players wear large darkelbow pads, and when the backfieldmen turn their backs to the line af¬ter the ball is snapped, the pads areoften mistaken for the pigskin.Hunt High ScoresThe Pennsylvania eleven has aver¬aged well over forty points per gamein its first three games, and in eachgame their opponents have beenmade to look decidedly sheepish.Many times two of the Penn backswould be tackled, while a third manwith the ball would reel off a biggain. About three-fourths of thetime even the people in grandstandsdo not know where the bqM is tillit is downed. Eastern spprt writershave aptly labeled the Quakers’ at¬tack the “shell game.”Coach Young was blessed with suchsplendid sophomore talent this Fallthat six of last year’s regulars spendmost of the time on the bench. Penn’sbackfield, made up of Rogers, Mur¬phy, Paul Scull (a heady player),and Wascolonis. is ideally suited toexecute the Warner type of play toperfection. Rogers is one of the besttriple-threat men in the east, whileQuarterback Murphy and Scull arefast and shifty ball carriers. Was-cqlonis is a battering ram at fullback.Use Dartmouth Pass *Penn not only utilizes an ultra-deceptive running attack, but makesmuch use of long forward passes ofthe Dartmouth type. All of the Pennregular backs, and Rogers in particu¬lar, are adept at passing the oval,and in Captain Thayer,,; generallymentioned as an All-American endlast fall the easterners have a mar¬vellous receiver of passes. A longpass, Rogers to Thayer, was the de¬ciding factor in Penn’s 7-9 victoryover Chicago last year. Staggmen Practice BehindClosed Gates ForImportant GameIt will be a fighting team keyedup to the last minute that takes thefield against Penn Saturday a teamcomposed of new stars seeking big¬ger and better things in the way ofIntersectional honors. Coach Staggclosed the gates of the stadium to allcomers yesterday afternoon in ordefto impress his team with the great im¬portance of this week’s practice ses¬sions.Captain Wally Marks is the onlyplayer left who played as a regularagainst Pennsylvania last year andhe will be handicapped when he en¬ters the game this year by bruisedleg muscles and a slowly healing char-ley-horse. Stan Rouse, halfback andWolff, guard, this year’s regularswere subs last year and were in thegame for only a few minutes. Therest of the Chicago team is absolute¬ly new and might well be called the“Mystery Team” of the conference.Team ImprovesIn the first two games of this sea¬son, however, the Maroons haveplayed very good technical footballwith excellent punting and few fum¬bles. The Florida game was thescene of a rather non-descript winby the Stage-men but in the Mary¬land game the team showed morepower. Chicago completely eclipsedthe southerners. Coach Stagg usedthirty-one players in the fray, a factwhich makes the victory all the moreimpressive.The Maroon squad will arrive atPhiladelphia on the Boardway Lim¬ited Friday morning. Thirty-six play¬ers, Coach Stagg and his assistantswill make the trip. The team willstop at the Manufacturers CountryClub in Germantown and will prob¬ably practise on Franklin Field Fri¬day afternoon.The Quakers have a heavy, power¬ful line, the outstanding linesmen be¬ing Hake, a 200-lb. tackle, and But¬ler, a 210-lb. center, who held downa guard position last year. These menhave /torn wide gaps in their oppon¬ents’ lines this year.In the early-season dope Pennsyl-(Continued on page 4)ly adds to the accuracy oi the team, iThe Rifle Club was founded during !tev HouseCLOTHES %Ready-madeAnd Cut to OrderESTABLISHED ENGLISH UNIVERSITYSTYLES, TAILORED OVER YOUTHFULCHARTS SOLELY FOR DISTINGUISHEDSERVICE IN THE UNITED STATES.i i• •I 11Suits and Overcoats>40, >45, >50 COME ONOVERSOME NIGHTWe have a great time here at The Drake everynight (Sundays excepted)-its such a friendly, in¬timate groupe-Miss Andes directs such happyspecial parties and the same people come againand again until we have a little family of ourown.

When a youth with what theArmy calls a G-6 intelligence entersschool with the determination to bebusiness manager of something orother, although he is innocent ofarithmetical lore; when this youthlabors with diligence, learning to add,and less accurately, to subtract;when, in late May of his last year,some too-trusted individual leavessuddenly for Cuba, and he is ap¬pointed to fill the vacancy, everybodyis overjoyed at his success, and allare united in the opinion that it waswell deserved. In short, when aman, woman, or child struggles tovictory, becoming vice-president,making the chess team, leading theprom, or even getting out of GradedGym, his fellows, with the exceptionof a disgruntled few, sing loud hispraises, rejoicing with him in hisglory; always provided the honor inquestion is not P.

I now pro¬ceed to the very rare individual ofgenius, even in its most attenuatedforms; to the person capable cfthought which is at once original andcoherent. I could cite statistics,but I shall refrain unless pressed;for the present I shall content my¬self with the statement that it ismerely necessary for such a personto get A in one-third of the courses taken to make certain of gettingthe average Acquired for P. B. K.membership. This is surely not a ^difficult achievement for anybody whopossesses real ability; the only excusea person who claims such abilitycould give for failing to achieve P.B.
