OCTOBER 29, 1926 Price Five Cent.WHAT Of IT?ff/ccbwpe morcensternOne of the Illinois boys, who ap¬parently sees the lie in things downin Champaign County, has come overto the camp of the enemy~and volun¬teered to offer the readers of TheDaily Maroon a series of weekly ar¬ticles exposing whatever there is toexpose in the Twin Boroughs. Thefirst of this series would have ap¬peared in the literary section (so-called) in today’s paper. It is farfrom startling. Indeed, it is even abit flat. Maybe there ain’t nothingto expose at Illinois. If this is thecase, Wilfred O. Cross is refuted—and one of the best arguments usedby the boys of the Greatest State Un¬iversity to bring the high school ladsdown to Illinois proves to be found¬ed on untruth. At any rate, the ex¬pose is here, but the Maroon has de¬cided not to print it. Bad as it is, itat least brings out the signal truththat even some of the Illinois boysthemselves are on to Illinois; other¬wise, there wouldn’t be any articlescoming out of Champaign.* * * *Last year for«two years I was oneof the hall boys, living in dear oldHitchcock, shrine of the campus in¬telligentsia. While there, I sufferedmost of the privations that can be¬fall man in this world. The soft coalgrime from the university powerhouse was daily wafted into myroom, where it spread itself over ev¬erything in a uniform thickness ofone-eighth inch. My soft shirts at¬tracted a large degree of this dirt.There were other things, too, thatadded to my afflictions. My hum-able cot I use no quotes, for thatwas what it was) was outfitted witharmy blankets, which are, apparent¬ly, designed for “the average man”of about five feet six. It was a task,therefore, for one of my angularityof frame to establish connections.Either my neck or what I laughinglycall (another bromide: out of Lard-ner) my dogs went cold, fre¬quently both. It was a horrible sit¬uation, and it wasn’t down at Yale.* * • *But nevertheless, such a gluttonam I for punishment, that I haveagain this year taken lodgings inHitchcock. I am up on the fourthfloor, near God and his angels. Thedust doesn’t get up so high in largequantities. Even the blankets arelong esough. Everything is, oneought to think, fine. But still it isn’t;there’s one thing that bothers me.* * * *Last year, while in residence at“th’ hall,” rumors came to me of asecret organization functioningthroughout Hitchcock’s length andbreadth, its tentacles extendingthrough every dank passage andholding the destiny of every resident.There was, I heard, a house societywhose methods were not dissimilarto a fraternity. When I first tookquarters in Hitchcock, it was myhope that there I would be botheredby none of the claptrap of the bigsecret societies. But here was whatpractically amounted to one in thehall itself! Rumor came to me thatthe members (of this organizationhad the habit of looking new resi¬dents there over for two quarters be¬fore either bidding him to the Hitch¬cock Society, or “rolling” him,—which last was equivalent to askinghim to leave the hall for Gates, orsome other place, whose standardswere not so exclusive.* * * *I moved out after my second quarter last year, so I never knew wheth¬er I passed the chapter. Now I amback in the hall again, for the fullyear. I am beginning to get worried.The boys have not “talked frat” (or,rather “dorm”) to me as yet. I won¬der if I’ll make the big secrets? IfI ain’t bid, I’m afraid I shall be abroken man; the disgrace would beawful. What would mudder think?—as John L. Sullivan used to say HONOR MEN DANCE TONIGHTFROSH BOARD OFMANAGEMENT TOBE NAMED SOONUndergrad Council Will BaseAppointmentActivity onWithin a few days the Board ofManagement of the Freshman classwill be appointed by the Under¬graduate Student Council. Electionto this board, acting as an incentiveto all freshmen, is based entirely onthe interest and ability those appoint¬ed have shown in the various cam¬pus activities.The Board was inaugurated lastyear more or less as an experiment:eight or ten freshmen who had shownthe most interest and activity inClass affairs, were chosen to act asmanagers of the class until officerswere elected, when the board auto¬matically dissolved. In this way, thedifficulties coincident with the ad¬justment to the first quarter, weremade less frequent if not totally ob¬literated.Restrict MembershipAccording to Wendell Bennett,president of the UndergraduateStudent Council, membership in theboard will be restricted to not morethan twelve members nor less thansix, the exact number to be determ¬ined by the apparent needs of theclass as a whole and the qualificationsof the applicants.The tenure of office in this boardwill, as before, last until class elec¬tions, about the middle of the win¬ter quarter. Duties will consist ofacting as guidance for the class andperforming practically the samefunctions as the class officers do la¬ter on.Urge ActivityAlthough those freshmen alreadyactive in the various activities havean obvious advantage, the board hasnot been picked and it is far fromtoo late for the others to establisha reputation for ability, the solequalification for membership.

He is bringingDoris Kenyon, his bride of a fewweeks, with him. Present arrange¬ments call for a speech by thefamous movie start at the reunionbanquet on Friday evening, Nov.5.Sills was prominent on campuswhile he was here as an undergrad¬uate in dramatic fields, showingunusual activity along this line. The Beta Theta Pi House was theobject of a holdup yesterday morn¬ing at about 2:30.Two masked men armed with gunsentered the house through the frontdoor, and awakened Paul Engberg,a pledge, who was sleeping in oneof the front rooms on the first floor.Finding him without money, theysent him upstairs to get some. Eng¬berg, instead of returning with themoney, awoke the members whowere sleeping upstairs, and immed¬iately the front bedroom was filledwith half-asleep, excited Betas.The thieves decided to leave. Asthey stepped out the back door, theyencountered Dr. J. P. Giliiat,member of the fraternity, returningto the house. Giliiat was then divest¬ed of thirteen dollars. A watch, that,he had, was not taken, as it de dec¬orated with the Beta crest.

The actswill be characteristically costumedand designed to recall campus daysto the guests. First is the 1893group, followed by the Gibson girlsof 1903, 1913 a pantomine, and final¬ly a 1926 chorus.Today’s rehearsals to be held inIda Noyes theater are as follows:Gibson Girl at 3:30 and the 1926chorus at 4:30. Saturday morningat 10:00 the ballet will be rehearsedMonday at 3:30 the 1893 group andat 4:30 the Pantomine group. Campus society takes its first flingof the year tonight when four hun¬dred couples dance at the ballroomof the Shoreland hotel in honor ofthe club pledges. Score Club andSkull and Crescent, sophomorehonor organizations, have combinedto sponsor this annual affair in thebest fashion ever.“Our biggest drawing card is, ofcourse, the reputation of formerdances,” says Ray Murphy, presidentof Skull and Crescent, “hut theShoreland hotel and Agne’s orchestrawill certainly be the other two bigfeatures.”Agne’s Band PlaysThose who have heardAgne’s band have classed“knockou!” It has fceenat the Trianon for the past fewweeks and tonight will certainly letoff some of the steam gathered dur¬ing that time. Murphy has arrangedfor some “special stuff” to make thedances more novel.The new Shoreland hotel has re¬served an entire floor for this dancefurnishing the guests of the eveningwith every possible convenience. Theballroom has been decorated by theClubs with large club pins aroundwhich are arranged the colors of theclubs. Each dance will be dedicatedto one of the clubs and will be start¬ed by the pledges of that club.Plan Pep MeetA pep meeting is planned to takeplace during the course of the eve¬ning. The psychological advantage ofhaving the pep session during thedance has not been missed. It is nothard to show some spirit and makea lot of noise when one is feelinggood.The dance is expected to be of ut¬most pollity, marking as it does thefirst time the sophomore societies havegot together on terms other thanrivalry, no matter how friendly”.Green Cap FroshMust Make ReportOn Mason’s TalkFreshman who are candidatesfor membership in the Green CapClub have had a new obstacleplaced in their way by those incharge of the. activities of that or¬ganization.

Axon, Jr Sophomore AssistantDonald Gallagher Sophomore AssistantHONOR OR LAISSEZ-FAIRE?I HEADLINE in The Daily Maroon yesterday read, “Honor Coun-** cil Seeks Support’’ and the deck contained the statement,“Student Cooperation Goal of Commission.”We are more than gratified that at last the body charged withthe difficult job of keeping the individual's honor intact during timeof duress, commonly called examination time, is functioning to thebest of its ability. What is more important, however, is the factthat the members of the Council are analyzing the situation andare making a different approach for the solution of the difficulty, toour minds the only sane and lasting approach, namely that of seek¬ing the support of the students themselves.Honor at the best is only an abstract thing, a term applied toa state of mind in which certain acts are considered degrading toone’s pride or digr.ity. Certainly, then, no possible set of rules andregulations concerning honor can be constructed that will effectuallycombat infractions. It is a matter of individual training. Rulessimply make cheating more intriguing to the student, and conse¬quently a greater number of students cheat “just for the fun of it”and in the same frame of mind that they violate the Volstead Act.What is needed, we believe, is a method of subtle disdain forthe act of cheating, upon the part of the Undergraduate leaders, andthus the feeling will gradually spread to the mass of students. Intime to come the act will be looked upon as is today. If the leaders,and everyone knows who they are, would simply refuse to associatewith people who were known to practice literary theivery, the peoplewould soon become branded socially, as surely as the scarlet womenof colonial days were branded physically, and the evil would natur¬ally lessen. Of course, everyone realizes that such an ideal statecould come only by a gradual and slow process but what time isbetter^to start such a practice than now, when the first mid-term ofthe year are looming?Think it over, you who are leaders.SWEETNESS AND LIGHT“I IBERTY”, published under the slogan 'Our country, right or“ wrong,” and sold for five cents the copy at a tremendous profit,has come forth with an editorial captioned “Learn Languages.”With the customary obvious flourishes with which it so regularlypleads obvious causes, this periodical decries and defies the multi¬tudes who scoff at the study of foreign languages, including Latin.“Liberty” exhorts the American people to a more intensive and ex¬tensive study of languages.And why? Because “anyone who attempts to do businessthrough an interpreter is handicapped so heavily that his chancesof selling are seriously handicapped.” And so “Liberty” sees oneparamount value of the knowledge of languages: it is a commercial,a practical asset.‘The commercial value of language is hard to figure,” saysthe editorial. “Considering the fact that America’s trade with non-English speaking countries amounts to two and a quarter billiondollars a year, it is evident that being able to speak the language ofthose countries counts heavily.”This is a commendable point of view and worthy of so vene¬rable a magazine as “Liberty". But does it get to the real root ofLatin study? After all, we in college like to think that the fouryears of “Liberal education" througl which we must plunge orfounder before we can enter the specialized field, are four years ofcultural contacts, of artistic respiration. We like to think of theknowledge of foreign languages as something more than a businessasset. We like to enjoy them not for what they can buy but for> > ' /^ I “Drexel house, as its name im¬plies, is a house in which the homespirit of living is the chief endeavor,”said Miss Hazel Shultz, head of thehouse, in a recent interview. “Thisemphatic establishment of the homecharacter of living at college dis¬tinguishes this dormitory from anyother on this campus or in othercolleges.”The building itself, which is locat¬ed on Drexel Avenue and 59th Street,has an interesting history. It waserected before the World’s Fair, andhas been in the hands of the Uni¬versity for many years, although onl>during the^ast nine years has it beenemployed as a dormitory.“When Drexel House was made in¬to a dormitory, it was originated asan experiment, but its achievementshave established the co-operative typeof residence hall for college womenas a success,” continued MissShultz. The sixteen women who re¬side in the house are divided intosmall groups which conduct it in aco-operative manner. Two membersof each group are assigned to cer¬tain tasks which they must performfor a period of two weeks, at theend of which time the work ischanged and new tasks assigned.Although the co-operative systemof running this house is unique, it issimilar to the other dormitories inits social functions and election tohouse membership.

M. Balliet, a Prince¬ton man, coached a Purdue teamwhich defeated Chicago 10 to 6. Thechances are that few who played inthe game or watched it realized theywere witnessing the last victory ofPurdue over Chicago on the Midwayuntil a 32-year period had elapsed, ex¬cepting the 1918 game, which Purduewon 7 to 3, a war year that is notrecorded on the conference books.Balliet had three more chances tocrack the Maroons but failed, and evenAndy Smith, whose California elevenson the Pacific coast spread his famefar and near, three times tried tohumble Coach Stagg’s eleven, butfailed, only once his team was withinsix points of a victory.Besides Balliet, other coaches since1894 who tried to beat the Staggs butfailed were S.

IPsi Upsilon put on the best scoringexhibition of the play in their 42 to 0defeat of Tau Kappa Epsilon. Thegame was a walk-away for the Psi Uteam with ‘Snub’ Pollard walking thefastest. He managed to put overthree tallies, sharing honors withGordon, whose open field running wasone of the high lights of the game.Sigma Nu scored the second highestwin, emerging from their game withAlpha Sigma Phi on the large end ofthe 30 to 0 score. A brilliant marchdown the field brought hi the firsttouchdown on a neat catch by Curtin.Hoey then caught passes tor eighteen-points in a row, Ault scored the lasttouchdown.Phi Psi WinsPhi Kappa Psi through a versatileseries of plays earned an 18 to 0 vic¬tory over Zeta Beta Tau. Budd’spassing, Gist’s running and Farwell’ssnaring of passes were the best PhiPsi ground gainers and three passes—Gist to Far well—Budd to Gist—andGist to Yager won the game. Met-zenberg and Kramer did outstandingwork for Z. B. T.Delta Upsilon won out over AlphaEpsilon Pi 12 to 6 in the only closegame of the day. MacDonald scoredfirst on a combination of short passand end run. A triple toss—Steadmanto Klein to Weseran counted for A. E.Pi points, and the D. U.’s ended thefray with a counter on another in¬volved play—Clark to MasDonald toTohey.Kappa Nu passed their way to an 18 to 0 triumph over the Lambda Phigridders. Early in the first half Stonereceived a pass and went over the line,while in the second half the Kappa Nuoffense opened up and Klaft and Stoneeach snagged passes for trie. Remainingtwelve points.Sigma Chi took the measure ofBeta Theta Pi in one of the fastestgames of the session by a count of 12to 0. In the closing minutes of thefirst half Young ran for a spectulartouchdown. The second half wasmore of a battle, but McCarthy finallytook over a short pass for the othertouchdown.HARRIERS ENGAGEBOILERMAKERS INFINAL DUAL MEETAlthough there is to be only onemore du£l meet before the confer¬ence championships are held at Madi¬son, Coach Stagg is primping hiscross country men daily over theWashington Park course.Purdue is the Maroon's lone op¬ponent in their dual competitionwhich is to be held at Lafayette onNovember 13.

So he told us when we in¬terviewed him.Nor do we wonder much at his dis¬crimination after hearing how theytreated him on his first tour of thecountry. It was the day afterThanksgiving and the author wasfeeling slightly indisposed, when a“go-get-him” reporter phoned him foran interview. “But I’m sick in bed,’*Mr. Swinnerton protested. “Oh that'squite all right with me, I’ll be rightup.”“Then there was that arch-notion,”said the author, “that Rose Macauleyand I were engaged. I had writtena favorable review of her “lH>tter-ism” for one Chicago paper, and im¬mediately another decided that wascause enough for betrothal. It wasn’t.I had met her only twice.”Then Mr. Swinnerton told us ofhis life.“However,” he remarked, “I myselfonce wanted to be a journalist. Atthe age of ten I published in our fam¬ily circle, a paper called “The Fam¬ily World.” It had a small and ex¬clusive circulation. When I was four¬teen I entered a publishing house—asoffice boy.” Mr. Swinnerton subsequently rosethrough the position of proof readerto editor, which position he held untillast year. His career as an authorbegan when he was eighteen, with thewriting of “The Real Way.” Thisnovel was based on the quotation fromBrowning’s “Sordella.” “The realway seemed made up of all the ways.”The book was not published.On the eve of his twenty-fourthbirthday, Mr. Swinnerton’s first bookwas published, “The Merry Heart,”which .though it had only a smallsale, was well received by the critics.“My critics said that it was a bright,cheery, unpretentious book,” remarkedthe author. “At this time I read the‘Clayhanger’ and became very en¬thusiastic over it. It inspired me towrite ‘The Young Idea,’ a copy ofwhich I sent to the author. He soencouraged me that I considered thisthe turning point of my career, andfrom this time on I turned my at¬tention to the writing of novels.“Nevertheless I had published sixbooks before the appearance of “Noe-turn,” my first successful work,” hecontinued. “I consider this the alba¬tross around my neck because thecritics insist upon calling it my bestwork. I hope that I have done some¬thing better since then. I wrote‘Summer Storm’ to correct the im¬pression I could write only tragedy.” Professor Justifies Slang UsageThrough Authority of ShakespeareBill Shakespeare’s sins have beenuncovered, but he will never sufferfor them. Instead, the present daystudents think of him with gratefulhearts, for, following his precedentof using the common language ofhis time, we may fill our Englishthemes with so-called slang.Professor G. R. Potter of the Eng¬lish Department of the Universityof California illustrated his justifi¬cation of slang with works of Shakes¬peare and O’Henry, and explainedthat language must continuallychange to express current ideas.Idiomatic phrases and colloquialismscreep in but do not mean degenera¬tion, according to the professor. “It’sme” and “ain’t I” are rapidly becom¬ing considered good usage.“Grammar is not Scientific” Prof.Potter concluded, “and it is naturalthat it change according to thetimes.” This is his opinion, however,but of course we have yet to con¬vince the instructors in our Uni¬versity. RE L AT I VITY IN THE LIBRARYBy Leonore OvittThat night I sat quite close to you,Across a table’s length.I saw you move, I heard you breathe,/ sensed your power, your strength.That night we were—oh, miles away:l felt the distance, too.Your thoughts were on our history,And mine were all on you.TO MY CURIOUS ONE\ By George Leo GruskinWould you learn the secret?Do you long to knowThat with which I seem to mockAnd tantalize you so?I shall never tell you.That would spoil the game.Though you guess for everYou will know the same.Love is not a glowing gleam,Like moonbeams on a sea—Love is in the shadowsThat are swathed in mystery.The current roster of plays on theRialto comprises, in moderation, ev¬ery type of dramatic entertainmentknown to the present theatre. For thedrama, George Jessel appears in“The Jazz Singer,” a piece about aninspirant personage of jazz who onthe night of his debut is remindedthat tradition and duty must be re¬garded with greater import that re¬nown . . . The theme appears onscant glimpsing to be of little sub¬stance for drama, but the author andMr. Jessel have made of it soundstuff for the theatre and reasonenough for these quTle* ill with twomuch comedy-drama and revue tojourney Harris-ward. Mr. Jessel, asa song and dance man, has foundhearty acclamation and now withthis dramatic effort wins for himselfthat tit-bit of praise, “versatility.”Of the other serious dramatic at¬tempts are the pieces as produced bythe Repertoire company at the Good¬man, which if nothing else, presentsexcellest drama at popular priceswith stage settings of unique andstriking color, combinations and de¬sign, made so attractive by well ex¬ecuted lighting effects, “Kongo” isyet another drama endeavor and ef¬fort spent in vain, unless there areamong us people, who found truth¬ful enjoyment and aesthetic appre¬ciation in “White Cargo.”“ALIAS THE DEACON”Preceeding Mrs. Insull’s season andin consequence thereof made tomove prematurely, “Alias the Dea¬con” endures under that hardshipknown to rudderless ships, dateless>’.ollegians and rampant Fords. Hadit been properly press-agented andhoused permanently there remainslittle doubt but that it would havebeen acclaimed. Opening with thesetting of the interior of a refrig¬erator car, the play immediatelyarouses that sense that whispers“Here is something new.” And forthose who have made of the theatrean institution commencing with thefirst of last year, something new maybe found therein.* The Deacon, Mr. Berton Churchill,plays cards at times, although healways assumes that position of thebeginner. He wins fabulous sumsfrom the two women who have beenliving off the hotel proprietor atbridge. Mr. Churchill has a most suave manner, polished and sonorous. He evokes chuckles thet provoke hearty laughter and gesturesand ejaculates, smirks and grimacesthat build up with huge concreteblocks a character to be loved andadored. The Deacon is a card sharkwanted in every town in the coun¬try for embezzlement, but his benev¬olence wins his reprieve and the lastyou see of him he is waving farewellon his way to catch the west-foundfreighter, leaving happiness and re¬joicing behind, leaving the villains inirons, the victims of circumstancein the arms of more victims of cir¬cumstance.The cast chosen to assist Mr.Churchill dies not come nearly to thestrata of Mr. Churchill’s splendidperformance and the audience ismade to bear up under such puerile,amateurish acting. There has beennot enough ballyhoo about “AliasThe Deacon,” but you will enjoy itimmensely, even if your room-matehas never heard of it.“BUBBLING OVER”Having had the good fortune toevict “First Love” with not too muchalacrity, the Selwyn now offers en¬tertainment with music, where thescore may please if the libretto fails,where the chorus girls may tanta¬lize if the team flops. Numerouscritics have arrived at but one con¬clusion in harmony, that the Selwynoffers a musical combdy adoptedfrom “Brewster’s Millions.” Andthat the adaptation, as those thingsgo, calls to mind the original book.Adaptations of late best sellershave been meeting with prodigeous,colossal success. Beginning with“The Green Hat” and culminatingwith “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes”and “The Great Gatsby” we have re¬viewed the novel prototypes on thestage and have found with rare ex¬ception few that failed to carry out,if nothing else, the fundamentalprinciple as defined by the originalauthor. “Brewster’s Millions” hasbecome almost a classic with fictionreaders, it formed a basic block-;—much like ‘Treasure Island and Peck’sBad Boy’ for our early literary pro¬jecting. What the producer has madeof the play you may best judge foryourselves with or without the prej¬udice that “Brewster’s Millions”amuses in the mamjgj of SaturdayEvening Post humorists. Lewis Browne Opens New EpochIn University Text Book WritingSomething entirely new in the lineof text books is “This BelievingWorld,” by Lewis Browne. Dr.Browne gives an outline of the cen¬tral plot, a sketch of the main lineof march followed by religion as itadvanced through prehistoric cen¬turies. He tells what savages be¬lieved and the meaning of their be¬liefs, covering the founding of allthe great living religions, relatingtheir history and describing theiidominant characteristics.Comparative religions is usually a complicated and vague subject buttreated in a simple way by Dr.Browne it becomes readily under¬standable. Copiously illustrated withblock drawings and animated map3done by the author on travels in theOrient, “This Believing eWorld” isrendered more interesting than theusual text-book. The book is writ¬ten with a narrative and dramaticquality that makes a story of a sub¬ject that is generally treated as adry treatise.Mack Evans Interprets SymphoniesAt Lecture Preceeding ConcertBefore the Symphony Concert Tues¬day at 4:15 in Mandel hall, Mr. MackEvans, musical director, will give alecture-recital on the program at3:15, in the Mitchell Tower Musicroom.Glinka’s Overture to “Russian andLumilla” is first on the program.Rachmaninow’s Symphony No. 2 inE Minor, Opus 27, will follow. Mr.Felix Borowsky in his program noteswrites, “This symphony was com¬posed at Dresden in 1906 and pro¬duced for the first aime at a concertof the Imperial Russian Musical So¬ciety, at Moscow. Rachmaninow wasconductor upon this occasion, and also at the first presentation of the workin America.Regarding the Strauss Intermezzo,which will be played third on the pro¬gram, Mr. Borowsky writes, “WhenRichard Strauss was in America, heinformed the reporters that the firstact of Intermezzo was completed, andthat the plot represented an episodefrom his own life.” The incident re¬ferred to was the arrival of a letterwhich Frau Strauss opened, believingit to be important. The letter wassigned by a lady and caused FrauStrauss to take her son, leave herhome and apply for divorce. A TonePoem, Finlandia, by Sibelius, will con¬clude the program.SOCIALLY-SPEAKINGThe principle event of the week¬end is, of course, the Score Club-Skull and Crescent pledge dance thisFriday sight. You’ve probably heardso much about it already that youknow as much or more about it thanwe do. But just in case there is someperson who has missed any referenceto this affair, we’re going to re¬peat the main details. It’s being heldin the new Shoreland Hotel and themusic will be an attraction by itself.Sigma Alpha Epsilon is going todo the evening up in a high and widefashion. They’re giving a dinnerFriday evening before the Score ClubSkull and Crescent dance. (You seewe just can’t keep away from thatsubject.)Just lots of teas after the gameSaturday! Phi Sigma Delta, BetaTheta Pi, and Sigma Alpha Epsilonare having teas; and Phi Pi Phi andPhi Kappa Psi are having tea dances.Whoops! Score for our side. Someday we’re going to run for presidentof something or other with a plat¬form of “More and better tea dances.”Saturday night there will be a Hal-low’een party at the Kappa Sigmahouse. There will be the appropriatedecorations; black and orange colorscheme, and all sorts of pumpkinsand corn-stalks. Doctor Watson’s or¬chestra, composed of five gentlemenof color, will furnish the music. Andthe Bros, are having entertainersout from the Aragon. Sounds likequite a party. No wise cracks intend¬ed.Phi Delta Theta is having a housedance on Saturday night. Seems to,us they’re rather rushing things. TI.Uis their second party so far thisquarter, but of course the first dancewas by and for the pledges. Boni and Liveright to Offer FiveHundred Dollar Prize for EssayA prize of five hundred dollar?has been offered by Boni and Live-right, New York publishers, for thebest essay on Theodore Dreiser’s “AnAmerican Tragedy.” The topic foressays is: “Was Clyde Griffths, thecentral figure of “An AmericanTragedy” guilty of Roberta Alden’sdeath and therefore subject to thepenalty of capital punishment forfirst degree murder?”Mr. Dreiser’s book has created afurore among critics such as hasfallen to the lot of but few biograp¬hers. The streams of comment, ar¬gument and criticism have culminat¬ed in an article by Harry Salpeter,critic for the New York World. Inhis article, which appeared in Hey-wood Broun’s column “It seems ToMe” on Sept. 8, he contends that ifGriffiths were tried today in Chi¬cago he would not be convicted.Nevertheless a character for whom sympathy has been felt can be kill¬ed without utterly destroying thereader’s peace of mind, Mr. Salpeterbelieves. Since the opposite of thisopinion has been the popular theory,Mr. Dreiser has raised the question“Was This Muder?” And his pub¬lishing company have offered a prizefor the best essay on the solutionof the problem.The contest is open to everyone,All manuscripts must be in the handsof Donald S. Friede, 61 West 48thSt., New York City, before Dec. 31,The winner will be announced assoon after the close of the contestas possible. The judges who havebeen chosen to decide on the essaysrepresent three distinct fields of activ¬ity. They are: Alfred G. Hays, law¬yer; Bishop William M. Brown, whowas recently recommunicated; andHeywood Broun, New York column¬ist.OFF THE SHELF“Singing Winds,” by Konrad Ber-covici, which appears among thenewest novels on the shelf, is a col¬lection of short stories portrayinggypsy life. From cover to cover it isboth picturesque and light. In everytale there is a bit of comedy blendedwith the pathos of a wandering race.“Perta” is perhaps the most in¬teresting story in the book. Perta’ isvivacious, beautiful, and capricious.When the clever Nicu declares hislove for her, she takes her time pre¬paring for their marriage. Accoxdingto the Gypsy custom, she may changeat any time, but Nicu is bound totheir engagement. Perta knows thecustom a bit too well for her Nciu’scomfort. Always she keeps him insuspense. One day she even cheershis opponent, Robu, in a fight. Nicuhears, loses his nerve—and thefight. For days he can do nothingbut weep copiously. At length Per-ta’s father takes pity on him andgives him some needed advice onwomen.While Perta flirts with Robu, Nicuappears. He is desperately mad thathis beloved should give her smiles toanother. Without a word, he thrashesRobu within an inch of his life, dragshis darling to his camp by her hair,and makes her wash his feet. S iorecovers in time to kiss him and tellhim she loves him for his mastery.They live happily ever after, accord¬ing to the custom of stories.GOLDEN DANCERA girl, slim and golden, dancing in the moonlight—that is the dreamthat led A1 Wells, in Cyril Hume’sGolden Dancer, away from the stuf¬fy tedium of factory life.Surprisingly, too, he found thegolden girl of his imaginings, andquite as surprisingly he forgot her,for a time. Then we watch Mr. Wellsin his career as an enterprisingbusiness man, where he makes somedisturbing changes in the well-or¬dered life of the town. The char¬acters do not convince us particu¬larly, nor are we stirred with com¬passion for our Mr. Wells.But that is all a part of the story,we give, for all is beautifully tran¬quil and happy in the end. Mr.Wells finds his golden girl once moreand keeps her this time, forever.We discover we have read a so¬phisticated romance.KIPLING ON THE WAR“Rudyard, make some frank confes¬sions;You got all the choice possessions;Uncle Sam fulfilled a mission—All he got was prohibition.”This stanza which in itself is anapt criticism and resume of the orig¬inal, appeared along with others asa parody on Rudyard Kipling’s “TheVineyard.” The original has causedmuch editorial comment among theleading newspapers and magazinesof this country, because therein Mr.Kipling has insinuated that the Unit¬ed States did not do its share duringthe World War. The poem is incor¬porated in “Detbis and Credits,” Mi*.Kinpling’s first novel for years.The Kappa Nu fraternity is hav¬ing a dance Saturday night in theirnew house.

So he told us when we in¬terviewed him.Nor do we wonder much at his dis¬crimination after hearing how theytreated him on his first tour of thecountry. It Avas the day afterThanksgiving and the author wasfeeling slightly indisposed, when a“go-get-him” reporter phoned him foran interview. “But I’m sick in bed,”Mr. Swinnerton protested. “Oh that’squite all right with me, I’ll be rightup.”“Then there was that arch-notion,”said the author, “that Rose Macauleyand I were engaged. I had writtena favorable review of her “I^tter-ism” for one Chicago paper, and im¬mediately another decided that wascause enough for betrothal. It wasn’t.I had met her only twice.”Then Mr. Swinnerton told us ofhis life.“However,” he remarked, “I myselfonce wanted to be a journalist. Atthe age of ten I published in our fam¬ily circle, a paper called “The Fam¬ily World.” It had a small and ex¬clusive circulation. When I was four¬teen I entered a publishing house—asoffice boy.” Mr. Swinnerton subsequently rosethrough the position of proof readerto editor, which position he held untillast year. His career as an authorbegan when he was eighteen, with thewriting of “The Real Way.” Thisnovel was based on the quotation fromBrowning’s “Sordella.” “The realway seemed made up of all the ways.”The book was not published.On the eve of his twenty-fourthbirthday, Mr. Swinnerton’s first bookwas published, “The Merry Heart,”w’hich ,though it had only a smallsale, was well received by the critics.“My critics said that it was a bright,cheery, unpretentious book,” remarkedthe author. “At this time I read the‘Clayhanger’ and became very en¬thusiastic over it. It inspired me towrite ‘The Young Idea,’ a copy ofwhich I sent to the author. He soencouraged me that I considered thisthe turning point of my career, andfrom this time on I turned my at¬tention to the writing of novels.“Nevertheless I had published sixbooks before the appearance of “Noc-turn,” my first successful work,” hecontinued. “I consider this the alba¬tross around my neck because thecritics insist upon calling it my bestwork. I hope that I have done some¬thing better since then. I wrote‘Summer Storm’ to correct the im¬pression I could write only tragedy.”The current roster of plays on theRialto comprises, in moderation, ev¬ery type of dramatic entertainmentknown to the present theatre. For thedrama, George Jessel appears in“The Jazz Singer,” a piece about aninspirant personage of jazz who onthe night of his debut is remindedthat tradition and duty must be re¬garded with greater import that re¬nown . . . The theme appears onscant glimpsing to be of little sub¬stance for drama, but the author andMr. Jessel have made of it soundstuff for the theatre and reasonenough for these quTfe* ITl with twomuch comedy-drama and revue tojourney Harris-ward. Mr. Jessel, asa song and dance man, has foundhearty acclamation and now withthis dramatic effort wins for himselfthat tit-bit of praise, “versatility.”Of the other serious dramatic at¬tempts are the pieces as produced bythe Repertoire company at the Good¬man, which if nothing else, presentsexcellest drama at popular priceswith stage settings of unique andstriking color, combinations and de¬sign, made so attractive by well ex¬ecuted lighting effects, “Kongo” isyet another drama endeavor and ef¬fort spent in vain, unless there areamong us people, who found truth¬ful enjoyment and aesthetic appre¬ciation in “White Cargo.”“ALIAS THE DEACON”Preceeding Mrs. Insull’s season andin consequence thereof made tomove prematurely, “Alias the Dea¬con” endures under that hardshipknown to rudderless ships, datelesscollegians and rampant Fords. Hadit been properly press-agented andhoused permanently there remainslittle doubt but that it would havebeen acclaimed. Opening with thesetting of the interior of a refrig¬erator car, the play immediatelyarouses that sense that whispers“Here is something new.” And forthose who have made of the theatrean institution commencing with thefirst of last year, something new maybe found therein.• The Deacon, Mr. Berton Churchill,Plays cards at times, although healways assumes that position of thebeginner. He wins fabulous sumsfrom the two women who have beenliving off the hotel proprietor atbridge. Mr. Churchill has a most suave manner, polished and sonorous. He evokes chuckles thet pro¬voke hearty laughter and gesturesand ejaculates, smirks and grimacesthat build up with huge concreteblocks a character to be loved andadored. The Deacon is a card sharkwanted in every town in the coun¬try for embezzlement, but hie benev¬olence wins his reprieve and the lastyou see of him he is waving farewellon his way to catch the west-foundfreighter, leaving happiness and re¬joicing behind, leaving the villains inivons, the victims of circumstancein the arms of more victims of cir¬cumstance.The cast chosen to assist Mr.Churchill dies not come nearly to thestrata of Mr. Churchill’s splendidperformance and the audience ismade to bear up under such puerile,amateurish acting. There has beennot enough ballyhoo about “AliasThe Deacon,” but you will enjoy itimmensely, even if your room-matehas never heard of it.“BUBBLING OVER”Having had the good fortune toevict “First Love” with not too muchalacrity, the Selwyn now offers en¬tertainment with music, where thescore may please if the libretto fails,where the chorus girls may tanta¬lize if the team flops. Numerouscritics have arrived at but one con¬clusion in harmony, that the Selwynoffers a musical combdy adoptedfrom “Brewster’s Millions.” Andthat the adaptation, as those thingsgo, calls to mind the original book.Adaptations of late best sellershave been meeting with prodigeous,colossal success. Beginning with“The Green Hat” and culminatingwith “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes”and “The Great Gatsby” we have re¬viewed the novel prototypes on thestage and have found with rare ex¬ception few that failed to carry out,if nothing else, the fundamentalprinciple as defined by the originalauthor. “Brewster’s Millions” ha3become almost a classic with fictionreaders, it formed a basic block-;—much like ‘Treasure Island and Peck’sBad Boy’ for our early literary pro¬jecting. What the producer has madeof the play you may best judge foryourselves with or without the prej¬udice that “Brewster’s Millions”amuses in the mamjfij of SaturdayEvening Post humorists. Professor Justifies Slang UsageThrough Authority of ShakespeareBill Shakespeare’s sins have beenuncovered, but he will never sufferfor them. Instead, the present daystudents think of him with gratefulhearts, for, following his precedentof using the common language o:his time, we may fill our Englishthemes with so-called slang.Professor G. R. Potter of the Eng¬lish Department of the Universityof California illustrated his justifi¬cation of slang with works of Shakes¬peare and O’Henry, and explainedthat language must continuallychange to express current ideas.Idiomatic phrases and colloquialismscreep in but do not mean degenera¬tion, according to the professor. “It’sme” and “ain’t I” are rapidly becom¬ing considered good usage.“Grammar is not Scientific” Prof.Potter concluded, “and it is naturalthat it change according to thetimes.” This is his opinion, however,but of course we have yet to con¬vince the instructors in our Uni¬versity. RELATIVITY IN THE LIBRARYBy Leonore OvittThat night l sat quite close to you,Across a table's length.I saw you move, I heard you breathe,/ sensed your power, your strength.That night we were—oh, miles away:l felt the distance, too.Your thoughts were on our history,And mine were all on you.TO MY CURIOUS ONE Boni and Liveright to Offer FiveHundred Dollar Prize for Essay\ By George Leo GruskinWould you learn the secret?Do you long to knowThat with ivh\ich I seem to mockAnd tantalize you so?I shall never tell you.That would spoil the game.Though you guess for everYou will know the same.Love is not a glowing gleam,Like moonbeams on a sea—Love is in the shadowsThat are swathed in mystery.Lewis Browne Opens New EpochIn University Text Book Writing, Something entirely new in the lineof text books is “This BelievingWorld,” by Lewis Browne. Dr.Browne gives an outline of the cen¬tral plot, a sketch of the main lineof march followed by religion as itadvanced through prehistoric cen¬turies. He tells what savages be¬lieved and the meaning of their be¬liefs, covering the founding of allthe great living religions, relatingtheir history and describing theiidominant characteristics.Comparative religions is usually a complicated and vague subject buttreated in a simple way by Dr.Browne it becomes readily under¬standable. Copiously illustrated withblock drawings and animated map3done by the author on travels in theOrient, “This Believing eWorld” isrendered more interesting than theusual text-book. The book is writ¬ten with a narrative and dramaticquality that makes a story of a sub¬ject that is generally treated as adry treatise.Mack Evans Interprets SymphoniesAt Lecture Preceeding ConcertBefore the Symphony Concert Tues¬day at 4:15 in Mandel hall, Mr. MackEvans, musical director, will give alecture-recital on the program at3:15, in the Mitchell Tower Musicroom.Glinka’s Overture to “Russian andLumilla” is first on the program.Rachmaninow’s Symphony No. 2 inE Minor, Opus 27, will follow. Mr.Felix Borowsky in his program noteswrites, “This symphony was com¬posed at Dresden in 1906 and pro¬duced for the first aime at a concertof the Imperial Russian Musical So¬ciety, at Moscow. Rachmaninow wasconductor upon this occasion, and also at the first presentation of the workin America.Regarding the Strauss Intermezzo,which will be played third on the pro¬gram, Mr. Borowsky writes, “WhenRichard Strauss was in America, heinformed the reporters that the firstact of Intermezzo was completed, andthat the plot represented an episodefrom his own life.” The incident re¬ferred to was the arrival of a letterwhich Frau Strauss opened, believingit to be important. The letter wassigned by a lady and caused FrauStrauss to take her son, leave herhome and apply for divorce. A TonePoem, Finlandia, by Sibelius, will con¬clude the program.SOCIALLY-SPEAKINGThe principle event of the week¬end is, of course, the Score Club-Skull and Crescent pledge dance thisFriday sight. You’ve probably heardso much about it already that youknow as much or more about it thanwe do. But just in case there is someperson who has missed any referenceto this affair, we’re going to re¬peat the main details. It’s being heldin the new Shoreland Hotel and themusic will be an attraction by itself.1Sigma Alpha Epsilon is going todo the evening up in a high and widefashion. They’re giving a dinnerFriday evening before the Score ClubSkull and Crescent dance. (You seewe just can’t keep away from thatsubject.)Just lots of teas after the gameSaturday! Phi Sigma Delta, BetaTheta Pi, and Sigma Alpha Epsilonare having teas; and Phi Pi Phi andPhi Kappa Psi are having tea dances.Whoops! Score for our side. Someday we’re going to run for presidentof something or other with a plat¬form of “More and better tea dances.Saturday night there will be a Hal-low’een party at the Kappa Sigmahouse. There will be the appropriatedecorations; black and orange colorscheme, and all sorts of pumpkinsand corn-stalks. Doctor Watson’s or¬chestra, composed of five gentlemenof color, will furnish the music. Andthe Bros, are having entertainersout from the Aragon. Sounds likequite a party. No wise cracks intend¬ed. A prize of five hundred dollar?has been offered by Boni and Live-right, New York publishers, for thebest essay on Theodore Dreiser’s “AnAmerican Tragedy.” The topic foressays is: “Was Clyde Griffths, thecentral figure of “An AmericanTragedy” guilty of Roberta Alden’sdeath and therefore subject to thepenalty of capital punishmer.t forfirst degree murder?”Mr. Dreiser’s book has created afurore among critics such as hasfallen to the lot of but few biograp¬hers. The streams of comment, ar¬gument and criticism have culminat¬ed in an article by Harry Salpeter,critic for the New York World. Inhis article, which appeared in Hey-wood Broun’s column “It seems ToMe” on Sept. 8, he contends that ifGriffiths were tried today in Chi¬cago he would not be convicted.Nevertheless a character for whom sympathy has been felt can be kill¬ed without utterly destroying thereader’s peace of mind, Mr. Salpeterbelieves. Since the opposite of thisopinion has been the popular theory,Mr. Dreiser has raised the question“Was This Muder?” And his pub¬lishing company have offered a prizefor the best essay on the solutionof the problem.The contest is open to everyone,All manuscripts must be in the handsof Donald S. Friede, 61 West 48thSt., New York City, before Dec. 31,The winner will be announced assoon after the close of the contestas possible. The judges who havebeen chosen to decide on the essaysrepresent three distinct fields of activ¬ity. They are: Alfred G. Hays, law¬yer; Bishop William M. Brown, whowas recently recommunicated; andHeywood Broun, New York column¬ist.OFF THE SHELF“Singing Winds,” by Konrad Ber-covici, which appears among thenewest novels on the shelf, is a col¬lection of short stories portrayinggypsy life. From cover to cover it isboth picturesque and light. In everytale there is a bit of comedy blendedwith the pathos of a wandering race.“Perta” is perhaps the most in¬teresting story in the book. Perta’ isvivacious, beautiful, and capricious.When the clever Nicu declares hislove for her, she takes her time pre¬paring for their marriage. Accordingto the Gypsy custom, she may changeat any time, but Nicu is bound totheir engagement. Perta knows thecustom a bit too well for her Nciu’scomfort. Always she keeps him insuspense. One day she even cheershis opponent, Robu, in a fight. Nicuhears, loses his nerve—and thefight. For days he can do nothingbut weep copiously. At length Per-ta’s father takes pity on him andgives him some needed advice onwomen.While Perta flirts with Robu, Nicuappears. He is desperately mad thathis beloved should give her smiles toanother. Without a word, he thrashesRobu within an inch of his life, dragshis darling to his camp by her hair,and makes her wash his feet. S'nrecovers in time to kiss him and tellhim she ioves him for his mastery.They live happily ever after, accord¬ing to the custom of stories.GOLDEN DANCERA girl, slim and golden, dancing in the moonlight—that is the dreamthat led A1 Wells, in Cyril Hume’sGolden Dancer, away from the stuf¬fy tedium of factory life.Surprisingly, too, he found thegolden girl of his imaginings, andquite as surprisingly he forgot her,for a time. Then we watch Mr. Wellsin his career as an enterprisingbusiness man, where he makes somedisturbing changes in the well-or¬dered life of the town. The char¬acters do not convince us particu¬larly, nor are we stirred with com¬passion for our Mr. Wells.But that is all a part of the story,we give, for all is beautifully tran¬quil and happy in the end. Mr.Wells finds his golden girl once moreand keeps her this time, forever.We discover we have read a so¬phisticated romance.KIPLING ON THE WAR“Rudyard, make some frank confes¬sions;You got all the choice possessions;Uncle Sam fulfilled a mission—All he got was prohibition.”This stanza which in itself is anapt criticism and resume of the orig¬inal, appeared along with others asa parody on Rudyard Kipling’s “TheVineyard.” The original has causedmuch editorial comment among theleading newspapers and magazinesof this country, because therein Mr.Kipling has insinuated that the Unit¬ed States did not do its share duringthe World War. The poem is incor¬porated in “Detbis and Credits,” Mr.Kinpling’s first novel for years.Phi Delta Theta is having a housedance on Saturday night. Seems tous they’re rather rushing things. Thisis their second party so far thisquarter, but of course the first dancewas by and for the pledges.The Kappa Nu fraternity is hav¬ing a dance Saturday night in theirnew house. It is on University #v-house, and was formerly owned byenue next to the Alpha Sigma Phithe MacClintocks.And drawing near in the rosy huedmists of the future, (We kind* likethat last. There’s something so ftfinthetic about it), drawing near,repeat, is the one and only Interfrl^ernity Ball. The exact date of thisgrand affair is November 26.
