No- 63- UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, THURSDAY, JANUARY 13, 1927HIGHEST WOMANJUDGE, ALUMNA,TALKS SATURDAYJudge Florence E. AllenAddresses High SchoolConferenceThis is one of those lean days. Atfirst thought, there doesn’t seem to bemuch to discuss. But .then, like PhilAllen catching an idea after his pre¬liminary stride into the classroom witha “Well, what shall we talk about to¬day’”. several topics occur to me af¬ter T have mulled over things for aminute. We might as well start offwith a review of the state of affairsin the women’s dormitories pertainingto food. Several times pleas havecome to me to take up the cause ofthe oppressed in this matter. Ttseems the girls are just about as bad¬ly off as the fratres in domum (if Iremember my Latin aright). If theylive in the university halls, there mustthey eat, according to the decree laiddown hack in the musty nineties. Thatis. they must pay .for the food, wheth¬er they eat it or not. Men. I under¬stand, do not so prefer. In this way.they evade a more or less horrible fate jhut on the other hand, the poekethook jnot only undergoes a strain, but lurksperilously near the verge of a full¬blown rupture.* * * *\fv words are no empty talk. Thesituation is about as bad as T state it.it several reputable young ladies are tohe believed at all. I rather think theyr( True.

T have heard the wail fromheard it from one of the Foster sisters, jI'neh demanded justice, that the week-a resident of BeocUcr, and I have ,lv “mystery meal" be dispensed with. (that the "Flanders mud” chocolate jpudding surfaced with milk g<>, that ,tin- com starch hatter done up in Jmolds and topped off with a puff of..hipped cream (an item known famil¬iarly as “The Tombstone") appear nomore at the table. These are thingswhich at present go to make thephrase "groaning hoard" very real in¬deed around the women’s halls. Well.I state the case for the hall girls. Idon't suppose the authorities will paymuch attention; they rarely do. Icounsel the girls, if this column failsin its purpose of helping things out,to take matters into their own hands—to make a raid on the commissarysome night, stage a Foster Tea Party,and dump the tapioca and Gumbert’spudding down the drain. Judge Florence E. Allen, an alum¬na of the law school of the class of1913, will be the only speaker at thefirst session of the Conference ofGirls of the Suburban High Schools,Saturday at lO, in the theater of IdaNoyes hall.Judge Allen, Justice of the SupremeCourt of Ohio, holds the highest ju¬dicial position ever held by a womanin the United States. Neither by elec¬tion or appointment has a like honorever l»een conferred on a woman inany other state or nation.Discuss Social ProblemsThe afternoon session will conveneat 2 and will be conducted in partas an open forum. The topics for dis¬cussion will be “Social Service,”“Ways of Making Money,” and Girl'sAthletic Association.At least five hundred girls and thefaculties representing over ten sub¬urban high schools will be present.Miss Ruth M. Whitfield, of the classof 1914, and Dear of Girls of theProviso High School in Maywood, Il¬linois. says, “We hope, in this way.to give the girls social contact outsidetheir own schools in much the sameway that the boys receive this contactthrough the interscholastic.” Reynolds Quivers;Friars Lose HomeThe Blackfriars dancing class hasbeen given the boot!The kicking and stamping of thedancers annoyed the Reynolds *:lubauthorities, and, after a hurriedconsultation, the Friars were forcedto withdraw. Right now, the classis homeless, but by this afternoonJoe Barron expects to have locateda place for his charges to practice.NEW APPOINTEESTO FROSH BOARDOnly Four Of OriginalGroup RemainOwing to ineligibility of students,the Undergraduate Council has madeseveral new appointments to theFreshmen Council.The first appointees Daniel Autry,chairman, Dexter Masters, WanzerBrunelle, and Frank Milchrist are theonly remaining original members ofthe council.

C. E. MERRIAMHITS COUNCIL’SELECTION PLANSProposed Four-Year Termfor Aldermen Unwise—Poli Sci HeadElection of aldermen for a term offour instead of two years, as proposedby most of the Chicago council, wouldbe unwise because voters should havean opportunity to express themselveson municipal questions every twoyears, Prof. C. E- Merriam, head ofthe department of political science ofthe University, and former memberof the council, said yesterday.“The plan is unwise and should bedefeated again as it has been on twopreceding occasions,” Prof. Merriamsaid. “Four years is a long time in thelife of a great city and experiencehas shown that it is desirable for thevoters to have an opportunity to ex¬press themselves on municipal ques¬tions at least every two years. I his isparticularly true when large problemslike traction are likely tef be decided.Furthermore, if Chicago is to be givenas is proposed, a larger measure ofhome rule, it is all the more importantthat the council should not be too faraway from the people.(Continued oil page 4) Kent Bathed InFruitful PerfumesBananas and other tropicalfruits are now in vogue in Kent,having replaced the corpses andother pleasant things that the phy¬siological chemistry students use.Pleasant smells now permeate thebuilding, for the University chem¬istry department has just starteda new series of experiments onthese products of the southernlands.

Bratfish MournsVanished Whiskersi he snow is on the campus thismorning, as you may have noticed. Soare the Phoenix saleswomen, as mayhardly have escaped your attention.1 he appearance of the Phoenix and itsconsequent monthly consideration bydie campus directs attention oncemore to the type of content of themagazine, and its similarity, or dissim-ilarity, to other college comics: It isobvious that The Phoenix isn’t thetypical three-line joke type of publica-dmi, as are most of the other collegen>iii|». Rather, it runs to longerarticles, insinuating at the truth of lo¬cal situations in a roundabout way, amethod resulting from the fact thatdie boys who write for the Phoenixare like that, and also because ther ading public hereabouts likes a lit-de, at least, left to its imagination.Hie Phoenix is like no other collegemagazine in that it writes solely fora local group. And even, if for thatGa.son, it gets little of its stuff re-I’rinted in College Humor, it at leastsavisfies the effmpus pretty regularly.least, the campus buys out themagazine pretty regularly, and thatai""iuits to something anyway. They’re Good Boys,Not Bad, DeclaresThomas Arkle Clark“There is far more good than badin them—even the worst of them,’’said Thomas Arkle Clark, dean of menat the University of Illinois, in speak¬ing of the college students of today.They are very shrewd—these youngpeople of ours. They see throughthings very clearly, very accurately.They are usually very just and veryreasonable when* you take them asindividuals.Small Town CalledIdeal for College "VVliat lias become of the be-whis-k£rcd college bojs of twenty yearsago?” wails Dec Bratfish, head ofthe Reynolds Club hair cutting estab¬lishment.The bearded warriors of the daywhen football encounters were battlesand hair was protection, have been re¬placed by the smooth-faced fellowswho wear hair on their coats and noneon their faces.Freshmen of today come to collegewith no beards at all and the ReynoldsClub tonsorial establishment will lieforced to begin bobbing the hair ofco-eds, according to Mr. Bratfish, un¬less the type of Uncle Elmer’s collegedays become more plentiful. In an effort to further friendshipamong foreign students at the 1 ni-versitv, the first of a series of iu-'‘ioffiiaK Sunday evening suppers washeld January 9 at Ida Noyes.

The nomination of Ellen Hartmanfor the position of vice-president ofthe Sophomore class was ratified yes¬terday by the Undergraduate Council.Her name was suggested by theSophomore Council to fill the vacancymade by the resignation of CharlotteEckhart, who has left school to travelabroad.The new officer is a member of Es¬oteric and a sophomore editor on thestaff of The Daily Maroon.

Prof. Lucken¬bill said that when these advancedand expensive social schemes failedbecause of lack of capital, the publicproperty of the nations involved wasgathered in by the “Wall Streets” ofthe time and the civilizations beganto decay.Ten Bands To Play* In All-Night DanceA night of dancing, from 7:30 atnight to 4 in the morning featuringthe music of ten difierent orchestras,including the famed Coon Sanders’Original Nighthawks is being offeredto the University students and otherdance lovers next Sunday at the Mid¬way Dancing Gardens.

We haveour men’s show, our women’s show, and productions by the vari¬ous units of the Dramatic association. They are nothing strik¬ingly original, nor wonderfully produced. There are too manytheaters in Chicago that offer competition, too many attractionsthat lure away campus folk that campus productions, cuttingdown the box office receipts that are an assurance of better showsthe future.Yet we do not believe that the campus dramatics, here orelsewhere, are so terribly hopeless. It is true enough that a col¬lege career of four years or more is simply a period of more orless unnecessary preparation for a would-be actor, and depriveshim of time that he might spend in gathering experience. Theaterpatrons demand youth, and the best years for an actor to securea good foundation in the profession are during the period hewould spend in school. Yet the advantages of college theatricalsseem, somehow, to our college-biased minds, to outweigh the dis¬advantages. The sheer joy of acting and producing shows is suf¬ficient justification for the existence of campus dramatics.If college shows can equal or surpass professional productions,so much the better. But as long as there are two people to listenand a platform to stand on college dramatics will go on. In BriefBy Dexter 'V. MastersJudge Landis’ decision yesterday ex¬onerating the accused players in therecent baseball scandal, will undoubt¬edly be received as is any statementso much in the public eye and so eag¬erly awaited. That is, the majority ofthe populace will express themselvesas dissatisfied, a minority will agree,and it will turn out alright in the end.His decision, however, deserves morethan a passing notice.The Commissioner handled the sit¬uation with an admirable lack of redtape tactics, sifting the entire matterdown to one point and drawing hisconclusions from that. Landis con¬sidered the purpose of the fund playedby the White Sox to Detroit to be thefulcrum of everything else involved,and was forced to stack the words oftwo discredited players, Gandil andRisberg, against those of more thantwenty. And the obvious, naturalreaction coupled with the discrep¬ancies so apparent in the accusers’speech were sufficient to decide theCommissioner’s mind.Landis did, however, recognize theimpropriety of the action of the Chi¬cago players in giving money to De¬troit, even granting that it was mere¬ly a reward. To this end, he com¬mented on that phase of the case as“censurable and reprehensible, hut notan act of criminality.” Be that as itmay, twenty players are cleared of anystigma, two discredited players remaindiscredited, and baseball is steadyonce more after a dangerous storm.Prohibition, the ever-fertile groundfor unsavory disclosures, steps into thelime-light after a limited absence there¬from, this time with the name of Gen¬eral C. Andrews, supreme authorityon the enforcement of liquor-stoppage.Drawing their inspiration from theattempts of Gandil and Risberg pos¬sibly, agents representing one of An¬drews' right-hand men linked the drychief's name in connection with testi¬mony purporting to disclose a vastrum-running scheme. The spokesmanof the agents, one Samuel D. Briggs,himself under trial for participation inbootlegging circles, made the accusa¬tions as part of his own defenseyesterday.Whether the general is deserving ofthe charges brought against him orwhether he is not, the fact remainsthat all is not as it should he at thecitadel on the Potomac. The govern¬ment has undertaken a task too bigfor them, but since they have, theirfirst steps should be to remove graftfrom prohibition and not pretend toenforce it until thev have.THE WILD CITYTHE CHRISTIAN COLLEGE BULLETIN, according to a story* on the front page of today’s Daily Maroon, feels that mothersare right in keeping their daughters home from college, exceptin those colleges which have religious organizations to safeguardthey young girl while she is away from home.The alleged precariousness of the girl who goes away fromhome to school is a myth, we think. But it most certainly is afactor in the reasoning of most parents who are contemplatingsending their daughters away to school. There are fewer out-of-town girls here at the University of Chicago than there areout-of-town men, and more town girls than town men. The reasonis that many mothers are hesitant to send their daughters intothe thick of the wild wickedness which is rampant in a big citylike Chicago.As a matter of fact, the wild wickedness is noticeably absent.Women and girls at the University of Chicago manage to retaingood taste, dignity and intelligent conservatism despite the city.The city which is apparent around the University is good to thepoint of discomfort. And the atmosphere of the University it¬self is conducive to social sanity.These high standards of conduct which maintain themselvesat the University are not the result of legislation. The Univer¬sity of Chicago is one of the least regulated schools in the country.It refuses to be a monitor. It grants its students intelligenceenough to manage their own affairs. And the students do takecare of themselves.It is not legislation, it is not the careful supervision of re¬ligious organizations which accomplishes the good. The good issimply inherent in the underlying sanity of the whole Universityin the future. The latest reports have it that aunion of Chaplin and Will Hays, whohas deteriorated from a cabinet mem¬ber to the high priest of moviedom.has followed the disunion of Chaplinand Mrs. Chaplin. More mysterioustransactions. How Mr. Hays couldconstrue his duties to include an ad¬visory capacity in regard to Pacificcoast marriages, is none too clear.Chaplin has thus far judged silenceto be the saftest course as reportershave been unable to rach him andhe has issued no statemnts of anysort. Receivers yesterday moved intohis home at Beverly Hills and his erst¬while wife surveys the land with an un¬obstructed view. And until the taci¬turn king of comedians returns or atleast acknowledges the reception ofthe charges made against him, she willcontinue to do so.The workings of state legislation atSpringfield are a subject for close per¬usal with Governor Small’s return toChicago yesterday. The governor’sallay, Speaker Scholes of Peoria, hasbeen left to pick the necssary commit¬tees more or less alone, and it is ex¬pected that he will account oppositionor friction in doing so. Such wasnot the case when Small was presentand it proves again that the governoris a good politician if nothing else.Leather Coat TakesPlace In Wardrobe“The leather coat has taken itsplace as a necessity in the Americanwardrobe,” says The Daily Illini. “Be¬sides its importance to sports it is ofgreat economic and practical value tostudents, many of whom have leathercoats in two weights for use in differ¬ent weather.” SALEMensSuits and Overcoatsbefore have we assembled at one^ time, in our Men’s Department, such awide assortment of fine clothes in exclusiveforeign fabrics.

The Badgers donot look upon either of these battlesas set-ups, and are anticipating twoevenings of speedy ball. Wisconsin isnow in a tie for fifth place in the Con¬ference standings.UNIVERSITY LUNCH5706 Ellis Ave.Try Our Minute Service Lunch,35cChop Suey & Chow MeinOur Snecialty I-M Bowling Season Opens Today;Third Round Cage Games TonightTonight’s Cage Games7:15Delta Tau Delta vs. Phi Beta Delta.Acacia vs. Delta Upsilon.Alpha Tau Omega vs. Delta Chi.8:00Phi Kappa Sigma vs. Phi Pi Phi.Alpha Delta Phi vs. Kappa Nu.Alplja Tau Omega vs. Delta SigmaPhi.8:45Alpha Sigma Phi vs. Kappa Sigma.Kappa Sigma vs. Phi Kappa Sigma.9:30Alpha Delta Phi vs. Delta Chi.Kappa Nu vs. Phi Kappa Psi.Beta Theta Pi vs. Theta Delta TauDelta.1 he Reynolds club bowling alleyswill resound this afternoon with thecrash of toppling pins as the Intra¬mural bowling season opens with theinitial game between Acacia and Del¬ta Chi.

ISportologyBy Tom StephensonNOW that the cagey Maroon cag¬ers have caged the wild, wild Wild¬cats. bring on the battling Badgers.AND when they (the Badgers)come to Bartlett next Monday even¬ing it will be the third time in as manygames that the Norgrenites have hadto cope with former stars of Stagg Tn-terscholastic Meets. Behr and Andrews✓sensational forwards and high-pointmen of this year’s Wisconsin quintet,were members of the Rockford Highteam which was runner-up in the Na¬tional Interscholastic of four yearsago. Hogan and Twogood of the Iowateam, which downed the Maroons lastSaturday, and Fisher. Gleichmann.and Ruseh of the Northwestern Fivewhich lost to the locals last evening,arc also former Stagg Tnterscholasticplayers.TFTH above fact was brought to myattention by the following contribu¬tion to the column submitted by Try¬ing Goodman:Sportology:“Although the season has scarcelybegun, and all-star teams are yet inthe embryo, did it ever occur to youwhat a crack all-conference basketballteam could he made from Big Tenplayers \yho have played in Stagg’sTnterscholastic?At the forwards we would haveTwogood of Iowa, former Sioux Cityflash, and the famous Oosterbaan ofMichigan and Muskegon, with whichteam he played when he was chosenAll-American forward in 1922. He al¬most defeated Kansas City, Kansas,the winner*, single handed by his sen¬sational long shots .“For center, Fisher of Northwesternand formerly of Fargo, N. D., wouldmake an ideal tip-off man.“At the guards we would have theOsage cyclone, Buzz Hogan, Iowacaptain, and John McDonough, ofYankton, S. D., and the Maroons. Mc¬Donough led his team to v.he finals ofthe Tnterscholastic in 1923. Few willforget that thrilling game with F.m-poria, Kansas, when McDonough leap¬ed for the ball, receiving a neck injurywhich endangered his life for days.“As suhsttutes, I would have Ruschof Northwestern and Fisher’s partner,and Bo Molenda of Michigan andNorthwestern High, Detroit. Molendafirst entered the limelight when histeam walloped the scintillating WallaWalla. Washington, team that had runup 110 points in two games.“The team chosen would, I believe,hold its own with any outfit in thewest. Anyways, speculation is goodfor the soul.”THAT would he a team. Mr. Good¬man. Whether it would he the bestin the west is hard to say, as are thepossibilities of all all-star aggrega¬tions.. But just to do my soul a littlegood I .might wager that had they allbeen McDonoughs and came to theMidway, there would be high talk ofa Big Ten championship going onaround the quadrangle about this time,time.HOTEL DEL PRADO59th at Blackstone AvenueBARBER SHOPW.

WILDCATS, 34-27MIDWAY NATATORSSET TO REVENGEWISCONSIN TEAMMcGillivray Confident InOpening ConferenceMeetA thrilling battle is in view for allspectators of the Chicago-WisconsinSwimming Meet, which is to takeplace tomorrow night. Despite thehandicap of having Markley, Felinger,and Baumrucker on the sick list, theMaroon, natators seemingly hold aslight edge over their opponents andare out to revenge for last year's de¬feat.Due to the very satisfactory per¬formance against the Alumni last Fri¬day, the lineup should not differgreatly tomorrow night. The 160 yardrelay team unofficially lowered theconference record and should defeattheir rivals from Madison.Chicago should, according to per¬formance in practice and reports fromWisconsin, win the breast stroke, 40yard dash, 440, and the back stroke.Coach McGillivray reports that littleis known about the probable resultsof diving. At present, the 100 yardfreestyle, medley relay and water pologame are tossups, with either teamhaving possibilities of a victory.Oker, Rittenhouse and Greenberg,from early season showings are ex¬pected to be the mainstays of the lo¬cal team.INJURIES MENACELOCAL MAT HOPESThe Midway wrestling team, on theeve of its initial battle, has been crip¬pled by the injuries of Sacher andKutner. Sacher, a regular from lastyear, was counted on as one of themainstays of the team. Kutner, a newcomer, promised to be one of the bestin his class. Both of these men willbe useless to the team when the localshook up against the strong Michigan.Aggie outfit, at East Lansing, Satur¬day night.Coach Voorees is extremely pessi¬mistic in his views regarding the pos¬sibilities of this year's team. It seemsthat the outfit is not yet in conditionand it will take a great deal of polishbetween now and Saturday to makethem a formidable foe for their strongopponents.I-M BOOKLET ON PRESS Heres How TheyDid It—And HowChicago (34)G F PKaplan, rf 4 0 0Zimmerman, If 2 5 0Sacxett, c (C) 2 0 1McDonough, rg 2 0 0Hoerger, Ig 0 1 4Farwell, g 0 0 1Gist, c 4 0 314 6 9Northwestern (27)G F PGleichmann, If 4 3 0Rusch, rf 1 0 0Fisher, c 4 3 2Levison, lg :.. 0 0 4Johnson, rg 1 1 2Foster, lg 0 0 010 7 8Referee: Trazisack.

LAST HALF RALLYBRINGS VICTORYTO MAROON TEAMTake Lead Early In FinalPeriod of RoughBattleBy Tom StephensonIt took a long hard game to do itbut they did it. The Norgrenites cag¬ers tamed the Northwestern Wildcatsby a 34 to 27 score last evening in awild battle at Evanston. It was aclose game all the way, with the Pur¬ple in the lead most of the openingperiod and the Maroons ahead in thebest half of the game—the last half.Acting Captain Waldo Fisher led hisNorth Shore outfit to a 19 to 15 •ad¬vantage at half time, but was heldscoreless during the entire second per¬iod, mainly through the stellar guard¬ing of Verg Gist, sophomore flash whoreplaced Captain Sackett, out with abad ankle, near the close of the firstperiod. Gist not only held Fishergoal-less, but shared scoring honorswith Kaplan, McDonough and Zim¬merman in the. glorious last-half rally.Score EarlyEarly scoring by Sackett and Kap¬lan put the Norgrenites in the lead af¬ter the first three minutes of play, butGleichmann and Fisher soon countedfor the Wildcats, who retained thelead through the first period.Soon after the opening of the finalperiod. Gist, then McDonough, Mc¬Donough again, then Gist connectedwith goals for the Maroons whileNorthwestern seemed baffled untilpretty work by Gleichmann again putthe Northshoremen into the lead forthe last time—24 to 23. Zimmermanknotted the count with a gift toss andHoerger added another as Levisonwent out of the game which was grow¬ing more and more like football. Zim-my used his basket-eyed glasses togood advantage counting on a one-hand throw, hut Fisher made a freeshot that brought the score to 25to 27. Kaplan registered next, butwas followed soon by Gleichmann forthe Kentmen. Foster missed a foulshot when Hoerger was ejected fromthe game on the limit, while Zimmymade his fifth free toss out of sixchances for the evening. An overheadshot by Kaplan sewed up the gamewith 32 to 27, hut Gist added anotherone for good measure as the whistleblew.BOBBY MEEKERThe winter quarter Informationbooklet of the Intramural departmentwill be out by the end of the weekwith a full schedule of winter activitiesthe editors announced yesterday.AN INVITATIONis extended to all Universitystudents to dine atANNA LYON’S TEA SHOPDelicious Homecooking at reason¬able prices.1449 E. 57th STREET »OME TOsORNELL HOTEL5510 Cornell Ave.Homelike SurroundingsReasonable RatesExcellent Dining Service7 A.

Just whythe city council should be given alonger term than our state and nation¬al legislative bodies does not appearin the record.“I appreciate the desire of the mem¬bers of the council to avoid the both¬er of elections but the other alterna¬tive offers much more serious conse¬quences. The argument that somemoney might be saved by eliminatingaldermanic elections is not a soundone. \\ e might save some money byabolishing elections altogether but inthe long run much more would be lost.If we are to practice economy there are many other points where we mightbegin before saving on the election ofaldermen. Instead of really helpingthe council, it is my judgment thatthe extension of the term would bemore likely to harm it and might leadto the loss of many of the remainingpowers of that body.”classifiedWill furnish front room for two.Private porch.
