UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, THURSDAY, JANUARY 6* 1927WHAT OFIT?fy&otgeMpigenstemThe first thing that you will notice about this column is that thepicture which has graced this spacefor the last couple of days is miss¬ing when we come to bat today. Thereasons are various. First of all, ofcourse, there is the opinion of Mr.Williamson, known to some of yauas the editor of the paper. Hethought that it would be a good ideato leave the picture out every otherday or so. This, he calculated, wouldsecure the effect of variety for thefront page—a thing, from the pointof view of art( always of primaryimportance in The Maroon), highlydesirable. So there is reason “A” forthe picture’s being on leave today.There are other reasons—betterreasons, I think—for the absenceof my bright and shining face fromthis left-hand column, in the firstplace, there has been considerableof a difference of opinion as to thepart my picture has been playing asa decorative item on the front sheet.There are some who will contend(and I am among them) that thephotograph has helped out things.“Sort of sets off the page,” one ofmy colleagues said to me the otherday. I agreed with him. Then thereis the opposite idea—that the picturecertainly is not a thing of beauty,and that it is entirely debatablewhether it is even anything of a joyto the multitude. FACULTY HEADSDEFEND MORALSOF CAMPUS LIFEMathews, Boucher, O’HaraLaud Student; PastorsDivided In SurveyThere is the ear, for instance.—the left ear. It seems (to one whohas gone around with it more or lesssteadily for twenty years) undulymagnified in the picture. It loomsup and blocks out the sun, it swellseven as you look at it; it is a largeear. It should not be so large. Some¬thing ought to be done about it.There are other things wrong withthe picture, but I will not recountthem. I recall that Prof. James Web¬er Linn, who writes the column"Round About Chicago” for theHerald-Examiner, some time agocame out in his column with a pic¬ture. The eyebrow, it seems to me,was smudged for several days. Itmade Prof. Li/in out to be otherthan he is. Several days later, how¬ever, the smudge was removed; Mr.Linn looked normal. At presentProf. Linn is even running an entire¬ly new picture in his column. So,you see, one with the vast resourcesof the Hearst organization behindhim is able to remold his picturenearer to the heart’s desire. Onewith only the resources of The Ma¬roon somewhat insubstantially backof him can not. By Bee Jay Green“Moral standards of college stu¬dents today are on as high a levelas ever before.”That was the opinion expressed byUniversity faculty heads on campusyesterday when they were cohfront-ed with the results of a survey con¬ducted by Dr. Charles W. Harris,Presbyterian university pastor at theUniversity of Indiana.Mathews Hits CriticsThe survey was presented to achurch workers’ conference at theEdgewater Beach Hotel Monday andgave statements from pastors atfourteen state universities, abouthalf of whom attacked student mor¬als, while the rest could see no ap¬parent decline.Shailer Mathews, dean of the Di¬vinity school at the University de¬clared, “The college student repre¬sents the highest level of moral stand¬ards today. 1 do not believe thatthere has been any radical change,and certainly there has been no de¬terioration in student morals. Allcomparisons are merely impressionis¬tic views and must be taken with agrain of salt.”Grad* Harm Undergrada—BoucherChauncey S. Boucher, dean of thecolleges of Arts, Literature and Sci¬ence defended the college student bydeclaring that morals today were nolower basis than in past years.Mr. Boucher admitted that graduatesas was charged in the survey had abad influence on the undergraduatebody. He stated that he knew ofseveral instances where grads return¬ing to games and reunions had cele¬brated enthusiastically with liquor.Too Much Talk—O’Hara“Youth likes to dramatize and to¬day there is more talk and less ac-(Continued on page 2) Flick Ashes InGhastly SkullsThe medical students, whosegruesome tasks continually offera fertile field for discussion, havefound a practical use for the vic¬tims of their discussion in theirlatest whim. They now representa serious menace to the ash-trayindustry.The medics, upon completion o£their anatomy courses, have be¬come accustomed to using theskulls from their “stiffs” as ashdepositories* so the silent resi¬dents of the anatomy building, be¬sides being instrumental in edu¬cating budding doctors, have thechance of coming to a convenient,if not glorious, end.300 ARMY BALLTICKETS ON SALEEach Fraternity AilotedProportional NumberThree hundred tickets are now onsale for the Military Ball.

I'nouired the why of this. The book,it seems, had awakened a somewhatsinister train of thought in Mr. Al¬lison. Immediately after it had ap¬peared, in its nice limited edition,Mr. Hecht and his accomplice inevil, Wallace Smith, the illustrator,wore hustled off to what we laugh-ngly call “the jug.” There they wereincarcerated until the roars of in¬dignation from the churchfolk whohad bought up the edition subsided.Mr. Allison seemed to see some con¬nection between himself and Messrs.Hecht and Smith. “If I put out adumb Phoeni*,” he said sadly, “thecampus is off of me. If I put out awow’ number, the faculty is on me.There seems to be no middle pathfor an honest and clean-minded col¬lege magazine editor!” Then hedropped an intended contribution tothe next number into the wast bas¬ket. “I guess Hecht’ll have to be thelone martyr of the age to art,” hesaid. Chimes of the University of Chi¬cago in Mitchell Tower seem to begaining fame and a reputation forthemselves.The Daily Journal of Jacksonville,Ill., a small town in Central Illinois,prints an article through the Associ¬ated Press concerning their history.The chimes, perpetuating the mem¬ory of Alice Freeman Palmer—a not¬ed educator, are broadcast every Fri¬day evening from six to six-twentythrough station WMAQ by an ar¬rangement said to be unique in ra¬dio broadcasting.

MastersThe purpose of this column isnot so much to include everyevent cf the day’s happenings asto rcord the latest major devel-ipment in the latest majorevents and not so much to pre¬sent conjectures or probabilitiesin the articles discussed as to putforth the current opinions con¬cerning them. The column willattempt to deal with the morenote-worthy movements in poli¬tics, international relations and,in short, anything sufficiently inthe public eye as to merit atten¬tion.Both the state and the nationallegislatures are drawing interest atpresent; the former because it con¬vened only yesterday with Gover¬nor Small’s biennial address to ajoint session of the house and thesenate, and the latter because of 'the unsavory disclosures which aregrowing more so each day.Governor Small, who is apparentlyunconcerned with any litigationswhich may be brought against himand who has evidently lost none othis influence because of them, wassuccessful in bringing the speaker-ship of the lower house to his candi¬date, Robert Scholes of Peoria. Itwas more or less expected, but dem¬onstrated only more emphatically,that the governor of the state ofIllinois is a good politician, if noth¬ing else.The governor’s address to the gen¬eral assembly struck a rather defi¬ant tone on the matter of tractionlegislation. It emphasized the factthat any measures of such naturemust provide for a referendum bythe people of Chicago, or be seri¬ously liable to gubernatorial veto.This section of Governor Small’s mes¬sage is, however, largely a reitera¬tion of the policy advocated byhim in his previous biennial mes¬sages and stands an excellent chanceof commanding no more obediencethan they.The other important feature ofthe address was concerned with thematter of state highways, particular¬ly emphasizing the need for widerroads as the only adequate solutionto the present traffic congestion.The governor stressed in addition,the need for increased revenues toissue the completion of the thou¬sand mil road system adopted in1923, and followed this with adetailed explanation of why the needexists, citing increased costs, un¬foreseen requirements, and thenecessity for wider roads than wereoriginally intended. All of whichseems fair enough. At any rate, itwas a good message, if it was sin¬cere, and the opening of the legisla¬ture seems auspicious enough.* * * *At Washington, RepresentativeLaGuardia of New York, a republi¬can, provided the day’s entertain¬ment by scoring Secretary Mellon ina vitrolic attack. LaGuardia placedthe blame for New York’s deathsfrom poiaoned alcohol on the secre¬tary’s shoulders, and continued in aseries of sweeping and bitter state¬ments, by denouncing prohibitionenforcement as a whole. This antag¬onistic situation on top of the SmithVare fracas, is none too beneficialfor furthering the country’s alreadylessening respect for the nation’s lawmakers.. I .!> .* * H< *The national sport which suffersas all profesaional sports do, is be¬ing rocked by a series of terrific ex- .plositions. Developments come so!thick and so fast as to scout any at¬tempt at keeping pace with them,and as far as the surface of mattersshows, everyone implicated is con¬vinced that everyone else is a liar.Commiasiqner Landis’ position drawsno envy at this time.t'liiTO tA’ll’VJack McBradyWallace Nelson ...Sophomore Assistant..Sophomore Assistant‘‘GRADS WILDER THAN WE ARE, STUDENTS SAY’THE DOWNTON DAILIES, whose editors keep a watchful and1 eager eye on the pulse and temperature of college morals, areagain in the throes of an “expose.” The meetings of several well-intentioned but distinctly unimportant groups of college and churchpeople have had reporters to record their minutes and the frontpages of newspapers to register their proceedings.The meetings themselves are harmless enough. We suspectthat the people who attend them are not qualifid to speak on collegemorals, least of all on those minor but noisy subjects of drinkingand petting. We suspect further that if the assembled representa¬tives arrive at any conclusions, and resolve to enlighten their re¬spective campuses about what is wrong with the younger generation,that they are the least able to do anything about it, because theyhave the least to say about setting such college standards as there areto set.As we have said, the meetings are harmless in themselves. Theconferees are often most intelligent people, and their purpose isabove question. But the aggregate of their effects on colleges andthe attitude of the public toward colleges is far more harmful thanit is good.The fault, of course, is in the newspaper recording of the meet¬ings. Editors know, in the wisdom of their news instincts, that dis¬cussions of public morals have real new interest. They know alsothat any news about colleges has news value. The combination ofthe two is irresistable. So they fill their columns with gaudy ac¬counts of the more sensational reports and conclusions of thesestudent ^morality meetings.The illusion which they establish in the minds of the generalpublic is a false one. The attitude which they create is illimitablein its damage to both college and public. The public loses sympathywith the colleges, and refuses to support them. We know of manyparents, especially parents who are not college people themselves,who hesitate to send their children to college because this news¬paper-engendered attitude has made them afraid.There can be no muzzling the newspapers. The reporter’s se¬lection of material will continue to be lurid and unfair as long ashe is given an opportunity to listen in on these meetings. The meet¬ings should be either discontinued or held in private.NEWYESTERDAY was the first day that we had time to look around* campus sinoe we’veheen hack at school. We noticed that themid-winter spring weather has permitted workmen to begin layingthe stones for the multitude of new buildings. And we felt at thesame time that ours is going to he one good looking campus whenWeiboldt hall, the new Chapel, and the Medical group have allbeen covered with vines and moss, and when grass plots replacestacks of lumber and stone. We imagined a brand new admini¬stration building where Lexington hall now stands, and we picturedEllis hall laid to the ground. And then we began to let our chestsswell, as we remembered that it was little more than two yearsago that the University development plan was inaugurated.I BARRY’S HAWKSWIN MAJORTY OFBIG TEN GAMESTake 28, Lose 20 GamesIn Past 4 Years;Two TitlesIowa City, la., Jan. 5.—Buildingup a margin of victories over fourWestern Conference teams, breakingeven with three others and yieldingthe edge to a trio, is the record ofCoach J.

The DailyThursday MorningSCHOOLS INVITESBy Tom StephensonWHEN I solicited A1 Holden andWilliam Morgenstern to favor us withspecial articles for our big Xmas is¬sue, I asked them to write on “any¬thing.” It was quite a coincidencewhen the articles came in that theywere both along the same- lines. Ifyou will recall these two interestingfeatures stores, you will rememberthat the thing featured was in eachcase a direct reply to a criticismwhich A. A. Stagg had made in con¬nection with his football reminis¬cences appearing in The SaturdayPost. To quote Morgenstern, “Mr.Stagg made the flat statement thatthere wasn’t anyone in the countrywho could write a football story anddo a good job at it.” DICKSON DROPSCOACHING; WILLPRACTICE LAWMany-Letter Man WhileUndergraduate; FriedaSucceeds HimHOLDEN, who is editor of TheBig Ten Weekly, agreed with Staggthat “football, as reported in thedaily newspapers, even in the leadingones, is rather shamefully handled.”He gave as the main reasons for theslipshod reporting of the games (1)that the reporters were seldom train¬ed in the technique of the grid sport,(2) that the editors instruct theirmen to write up the game in a sen¬sational way at the expense of ac¬curacy and technical points, and(3) that the speed with which themodern newspaper puts its “extras”and last minute news to press doesnot allow for careful writing by thbreporter ,careful editing by the edi¬tor, or careful reading by the proofreader.MORGENSTERN. who at the timewas a sports expert for the Her-old-Examiner and is now the public¬ity head for the University, madethe same comment that Holden didin points (1) and (2) above. Toagain quote Morgenstern, “the firstdemand for any sports story now¬adays is for a sort of wise-creackingstyle that will afford 60 per centamusement and 40 per cent inform¬ation.” , Campbell Dickson, assistant foot¬ball coach, has handed in his resigna¬tion to the athletic department itwas announced yesterday. Dicksonwill graduate from the law schoolin the Spring Quarter and is goingto practice that profession.Dickson, while in the University,was one of the most prominent ath¬letes on campus. He played end onthe football team for two years andwon all-conference honors in his lastyear. He won two C’s in basketballand was a track star. Dickson hoidsthe Bartlett Indoor Record at sixfeet two inches for the high jumpand made 6 feet three inches in theoutdoor jump. He is a member ofthe Psi Upsilon and various honoraryfraternities.It is interesting to note that Dick¬son helped coach Minnesota the weekprevious to that school’s upsettingRed Grange and the Illinr three yearsago.Frieda who is to take Dickson’sposition, will also coach the weight'men on the track team this year. Heis a Chicago man and won threeletters in track. He holds the Uni¬versity Indoor Javelin Record andalso the Javelin Record in the PennPenthalon. Frieda was a member ofthe football and basketball squads. McKinney LostTo Track SquadFor First MeetsA sever blow was dealt ot theMaroon Track Squad when it waslearned that Captain Bert" McKinneywas in the hospital. It is not knownjust how long he will be confinedthere but it is almost certain that hewill be unable to participate in thefirst two meets. Bladder trouble isthe cause of McKinney's ailment.Work of the track team has beenprogressing rapidly of late and thetask of organizing the coaching stafffor the coming season has been com¬pleted. Fritz Crisler is coachingstarts; Norgren is in charge of theindoor weight men; Lonny Stagg isdirecting indoor labor; Frieda iscoaching outdoor weight men. A. A.Stagg will come back from Floridain two weeks to take charge of out¬door track.The space under the North Standis being prepared for use in thepractice of the following events:discuss throw, hammer throw, shotput, javelin throw, broadjump. Cin¬ders are also being down on thespace just north of Bartlett and willprovide a perfect place for trackpractice in the Spring.Handball TourneyBegins Next WeekHandball tournament for the I-Mdepartment will start Wednesday,January 12, and will continue onWednesday and Friday afternoons.There will be a team tournament tobe played off in leagues and an in¬dividual elimination tournament.

John Howe, via hiseditorial column, has at last succeed¬ed in the establishment of eveninghours for the Coffee Shoppe; theWhiste meekly introduced the Se¬nior cane idea; and George Morgen-stern comes out with the happy ob¬servation that his demand for bet¬ter lights in Harper has resulted inbetter lights. Does anybody wantany pianos moved? (Continued from page 3)the Old Man prepared and submittedthe paper which was read at thecoaches’ conference held in NewYork City during the holidays. Thispaper panned the newspapers for theway in which the rumbling and mum¬blings of dissatisfied Alumni andother fans influences the sport newsand seeps into the tone of the stories.It is probable that the nationwidecomment on the “Singing Maroons”which was of a more or less farcicalnature, and such stories as the onewhich a downtown paper printed on“that new seventh play” during thepast season were instrumental inprompting Stagg to submit the pa¬per.THE wise-cracking style of whichHolden and Morgenstern make men¬tion and the influence of the dissat¬isfied fans yhich Stagg complains of,are closely related. To my notion,it was the combination of these twofactors which coined the “MusicalMaroons” * phrase last fall.
