No. 39 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER I, 1926 Price Five Cent*WHAT OFIT?w,Things are happening thick and lastdown on the University of Indianacampus. It all began when the editorof the “Indiana Daily Student" wasseized with the idea that certain se¬cret organizations on the campus hadunutterably dabolical intentions, andthat the welfare of the university, thestate, and the Hoosier Society was be¬ing undermined whle everyone sat cas¬ually by. The organizations suspect¬ed by the editor of the “Daily Stu¬dent" were not regular fraternities.They were rather organizations whosepersonnel had been recruited from thelength and breadth of the Blooming¬ton Fraternity Row, and membershipin which was considered an honor bythose giving out bids to the organ¬izations in question.* * * *Thugs began when an alumnus ofabout the class of ’20 came out in the“Daily Student” with the awful chargethat one of the societies, Sphinx Club,had thrown a beer party back in thedim, dark days when he was in school."My roommate, a member of SphinxClub," ran his indictment, “confessedto me at the time that the total mem¬bership had gone out in the countryon the night in question, met at arendezvous and had had sandwichesand several heers served them there.”This accusation wras deemed strongenough grounds to warrant the "DailyStudent” making the charge that theSphinx Society, and similar organiza¬tions, were “worthless, pernicious andundemocratic.” The indictment of thesociety as “undemocratic" probably wasthe result of a rancorous feeling on thepart of the editor of the “Daily Stu¬dent” for any twenty men in a placelike Bloomington having wet goods ofany description and not passing out tothe rest of the town the name of theRainmaker who had supplied them.* * * *In a few more days, the college pa¬per had printed the history of thatdreaded political organization, ThetaNu Epsilon, and the sacred secrets ofKappa Beta Phi—the significance ofthe symbols, the motto, and about ev¬erything else—had also been exposed.I.ike Sphinx Club, these other twoextra-Greek fraternities were held upas a menace to the young. Thecharges of "worthlessness, pernicious¬ness and undemocracy” were hurledin turn at them. It was demanded thatthe Sphinx Club white felt hats betossed in the furnace, and it and theother organizations disband. An al¬leged member of Sphinx and KappaBeta charged dirty work in the elec¬tion of football captain. The editor ofthe “Daily Student” claimed to havebeen threatened by letter.* * * *• he turmoil still continues inBloomington. It promises to get evenbetter. The secret societies have notstood back and passively accepted thecharges hurled at them. Sphinx Clubthe leader, printed a letter, signed byits entire membership, in the paper acouple days ago, denying that theI->aily Student” contributor was, as heclaimed, a member of the society. Italso, by way of retaliation, demandedto know whether Phi Beta Kappa,Skull and Crescent, Sigma Pi, or anyof the other honor fraternities of thecampus, were not also “worthless,” ifjudged by the standards of the “DailyStudent.” Fellowship, the Sphinx mensa,d, w'as all that any organizationcould foster in the line of worth-whileendeavor. And, the claim was made,Sphinx Club had been successful inthis. It all is an awful muss. I hopeno campus investigator here startsProdding around into the affairs of theSt- Mark's Club or something. ADD EXTRA TIMEAS TEAMS FALLSHORT ON QUOTASettlement Drive ExtendedUntil Saturday,Dec. 11The Settlement finance drive hasbeen extended until Saturday, Dec. 11,in order to give the teams an addition¬al week in which to raise their quota.So far, money has been turned inrather slowly, the amounts falling be¬low the standards of previous years. Inallowing the extra week, Holmes Boyn¬ton and Frances KerWall, the co-chair¬men of the Settlement drive, hope thatthe teams will increase their efforts toraise more money.Van Pelt, Hagey LeadCaptains should keep in touch withall the members of their respectiveteams, and see to it that money isturned in regularly at Cobh 206 be¬tween 12 and 12:15.The teams of Herberta Van Peltand Harry Hagey are in the lead sofar. John Jackson's and Helen Lam-born’s teams have turned in next tothe largest amounts.Treat WinnersLast year the best showing was madeby Holmes Boynton’s team whichturned in $586, and Mary Harvey’steam which turned in $473. The lead¬ing teams this year are to be theguests of the Settlement at a theaterparty.Florida StudentsPrefer Period ofStudy to LectureStudents at Rollins College, Florida,were impressed by the idea of studyperiods nstead of class lectures. Theusual sixty minute period has beenlengthened to two hours of supervisedstudy. The Professor in charge ispresent for constant consultation withthe students. The purpose of the in¬novation is to place academic life ona more practical basis. Class attend¬ance this rate is placed on a par withthe hours and duties of a business of¬fice.“OUR LANGUAGE ISDEGENERATING ASLATIN, GREECE DID”Degeneration of our language staresus in the face, according to Prof. RoyC. Flickinger, head of the Universityof Iowa department of Latin andGreek, who receved his Ph. B. here.Latin degenerated into the modern Ro¬mance languages, and English, whichis said to be the most universallyspoken today, is apt to suffer the samefate. British-English, American-Eng-lish, Australian-English and SouthAfrican English might easily becomevastly different tongues, says the Iowaeducator.Knowledge of the root meanings isthe best method of preventing thiscatastrophy, he believes, and he rec¬ommends the study of Latin as thebest means of preventing the relapseof English.‘Y’ Plan* To HoldOpen House Dec. 2Another Y.

Urge Variety InThemes by UsingAlgebra Formula“If I eat cake, and if I eat pie, andif I get sick, perhaps I shall die,”according to higher mathematics, canhe expressed in 5376 different ways.M'. Robert W. Babcock, instructorin the English department, maintainsthat the sentence as it stands, accord¬ing to an algebraic formula, can bearranged In twenty-four different ways.Then, there is a choice of seven typesof adverbial clauses that one may use,which increases the ways of expressingthis single sentence to 168. The possi¬bility of using substantive clauses, ad¬verbial clauses and phrases increasesthe number eight times.Consequently, there are 5376 differ¬ent ways of say ng one sentence andat least a million chances for variety ina term paper, Mr. Babcock asserts.DR.

Sophomore AssistantJack McBrady Sophomore AssistantWallace Nelson Sophomore AssistantCOAL BILLS AND CIRCUSESA COAL BILL incurred twenty-two years ago seems to be respon¬sible for the founding of a prominent, worthy, and substantialcampus activity: Settlement Night. One might call it a mere acci¬dent, a trivial effort to aid a University project with no dream ofthe elaborate Circus which seems to be the final’ culmination of thecoal bill.It was this lowly fuel defecit and the more or less philanthropicattitude of two undergraduates that set the ball rolling. That ballhas rolled long and steadily, splashing, it is true, through an occas¬ional mud puddle but appearing after twenty-two years quite readyfor another bounce.The first Settlement affair was a dance in Bartlett gymnasium.It was a success and the funds nicely wiped away the financial de¬fecit at the 46th Street and Gross Avenue haven. The whole ideaseemed thoroughly sound and worth while. It offered a philan¬thropic excuse for a campus party.Thus the dances continued during the following years untilthe undergraduates in charge of the affair, not satisfied with thesomewhat modest dance returns, evolved the idea of a SettlementDrive. This was a novel idea. It “went over big” among the stu¬dents.The activity outgrew the proportions of a mere dance. Withthe added impetus that the Drive gave the leaders contrived the“Settlement gala night” idea. Two years ago came “A Nite in theNorth,” then “The Spanish Fiesta,” and now, driving the thing to aclimax, comes the Circus with promises of hilarity, celebration, anda general field day. That is the evolution of Settlement night downthrough twenty-two years.Students are not wont to contribute to the Drive. Teams solicitfrom Chicago citizens but the immediate undergraduate body is notso keen about liberal response. The final night itself with booths,dancing, and vodvil is about the only feature of the activity that“goes home” to the student. But on that big night he is repaidfor his contribution, partly in a good time, and a great deal in thesatisfaction of having helped someone who sorely needed help. Third Orchestra ConcertAPRIL FOOLJJROM relaible sources it was learned today that one of the Uni¬versity of Chicago honor socities is planning to commemoratethe spot where President Max Mason turned over the first piece ofsod for the construction of the new Field ouse. It is the plan of thesociety to brighten the spot with a beautiful Century plant so thatevery hundred years or so a gorgeous blossom will hearken ourmemories to the glorious occasion of April 1, 1925 when the solemnrites occurred. It is also reported from the same source that thenewspaper pictures and accounts of the new Field House, printed inthe Chicago papers in 1925 A. D., will be encased in a metal boxand buried near the spot so that posterity shall be assured of anaccurate record of the first great American fairy tale. By Pearl BloomfieldThe third Chicago Symphony Or¬chestra concert of the season waspresented yesterday afternoon in Man-del hall. The program was particul¬arly gratifying in that it aptly followedup the orchestra’s policy of presentingnew selections at each ‘ appearance.Goldmark’s Symphony, number 1,“The Country Wedding,” and two noc¬turnes by Debussy “Clouds” and “Fes¬tivals’ were exquisitely rendered.An overture, “Patrie,” by Bizet,opened the program. The number isintroduced by broad martial strainswhich soon give rise to the sorrowfultheme of France’s misfortune of 1870.Bizet attempted to call this composi¬tion the disaster of Poland, but it isvery French in quality. The warlikeattitude alternates with the plaintivethroughout the piece, with the noteof sadness maintained by the drums.In the second movement the cellos andviolas take up the sorrowful tale, fol¬lowed by the violins’ poignant rendi¬tion. The climax is reached in thelast movement and the number closeswith a reverberating protest.Goldmark’s “Country Wedding”Goldmark’s "Country Wedding” wasperfectly rendered bv the orchestra.This composer is comparatively newto most of us but the presentation ofthis number created a desire for moreof his works. The symphony openswith a wedding march developed in agreat many interesting variations. Thebass viols introduce the man theme andthe variations consist in changes inrhythm, sudden shifts in key and invarying moods. At times vivacious,at times broad and sweeping, thehandling of the theme is marvellouslyingenious and shows masterful skill inmanipulation and inventiveness on ihepart of the composer. The first move¬ment has a surprise ending in the rep¬etition by the bass viols of the originaltheme, unchanged.The scherzo movement is in theFRESH FLORIDAORANGESFresh sweet Florida Orangesper box of three hundred largesize.

The whole sym¬phony has a freshness and and spon¬taneity that make it a joy and de¬light.Debussy was represented on theprogram by two nocturnes, “Clouds”and “Festivals,” and the sheer beautyof the pieces was breath-catching. Thefirst selection reminds one forcibly ofa Cezanne painting in its pure im¬pressionism. The splashes of color,the lack of sentimentality, combinedwith the feeling of unreality andvagueness lend Debussy’s compositionsan exquisite fascination.

For example, from yester¬day’s issue we read an account of asociological experiment by the Evans¬ton school—“Purple Students HostsTo Hoboes.” But why, we ask, didthey have to make the insinuation—“Twenty-five studets acted as hosts atthis opportunity to study the hoboamong his kind?”AT the College Inn they play allsorts of school songs. We’ve hearc!“Wave the Flag,” we’ve sneered at“Oskey Wow-Wow,” we’ve hummedthe Notre Dame “Victory March,” andhave even bellowed convivially aboutthe Tulane Greenbacks Hitting ThatLine. Never, however, never were weso impressed with the injustice ofthings as last Saturday night whenwe watched many familiar faces cloudmournfully as they noted the flagrantneglect of their own Alma Mater.

The classroomdoor opened softly from time to timeas another bleary eyed figure tiptoedto his seat and settled down to rest.Heads nodded in weary rythmn to thelecture, pens moved mechanically tothe relentless flow of education. Sud¬denly the instructor’s voice snapped,“Jones, what is your opinion on ques¬tion fifteen?”“I don’t know,” sighed Jones.“Smith, you answer the question.”“I don’t know,” groaned Smith.“Brown, Schwartz, Pinkoqwitx,Humphwak.”But don’t understand, gentle public,this isn’t supposed to be funny. This,yo usee, is an eight o’clock class atthe University of Chicago!The Maroon sport page reports thatBert McKinney and Dick Williamshad their tonisls removed at the sametime.
