Miuroon • e t *new half thousandsubscriptionquota.Vol. 27. No. 64. UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO. FRIDAY, JANUARY 14, 1927WHAT OFIT?fy&oi&Mot&nstmEvery year when the cap andGown comes out, we look throughthe graduating class and take inven¬tory of the big undergraduate activ¬ity jobs—what be¬came of them, andwho got them. Al¬most invariably wefind that four, or,in the class have apossibly, five mencorner on all thethings that, in theunde r-graduatemind, really amountto something. And,among the women,one or two havecaptured all the bigjobs. I am notcounting athletics in this estimate,but simply the “activity” position?—the publications jobs, Blackfriars,Undergraduate Council, class officesand the like. And, as we take ourlook at the boys and girls who havebeen the big guns of the class, wediscover that, all things considered,there are a good deal more men whoare just fair in the list than thereare real first raters. It is an inter¬esting phenomenom.* • * *And yet, I am not sure but that |it is an entirely natural state of af¬fairs. The college activities are oddin that the second-rater, more oftenthan not, gets a better break all theway than the first-rater. I find thatmost of the men who had thingsfirmly by the tail in their senior yearhave been fellows who have beencomparatively in the shade until, saythe last few months of their junioryear. They have been the steady,dull, hard working type for threeyears. And for these rather negativevirtues, they have got their rewardin the end, and consequently are theones who their final year in school,lean back in the swivel chairs andlet others do the work. I have atheory to account for the success ofthese fellows who have, as we say,“got on.” It is simple: the idea thatthe innocuous will, if they never haveanyone particularly for them, atleast have no one definitely againstthem.* * * *It is a characteristic, I think, ofthe first-rater that he will antagonizea lot of people. If he does it throughnothing else, he will solely on accountof the fact that he IS a first-rater.The run of the mob isn’t top-hole,and knows it. When somebody comesalong that seems to be, the mob isout to get him. “Huh,” they say,"here’s a fellow who thinks he issomebody. Well, we’ll show him.”And they do. The harmless fellow"ho has been in the shade, on theother hand, has the crowd for him.He is one of them. When his namesuddenly pops up for election tosomething or other, the boys whisperabout among themselves: “Whot ishe? Got anything against him?”That’s the way it is—not, “Has heanything FOR him,” but ’“Has heanything AGAINST him.” If not,dump in the white ball, and take theother fellow for a nice sleigh ride.* * *Of course, it all amounts to arecognition of the fact that medioc¬rity, or something that is pretty closeto it, isn’t a fault at all to the mindof the crowd, but rather is a virtue.The steady plugger who never flaresup for even a moment above his con¬stant level, like a candle will occa¬sionally when a sudden draft blowsin upon its flame, has always irri¬tated me a good deal. I dislike theseunhuman fellows who never slip—chiefly, I suppose because of thefact that I, now and then, do. Well,^th that, let’s call it a day. CAMPUS LEADERSLAUD COLLEGIANSASCLEANSPORTSWoodward, McGillivrayAttack Decree OfDubuque PrexyThat the “sport for sport’s’’ sake,ideal and cleanliness in athletics arenot gone from campus life, was theopinion expressed yesterday by localmen, when they were confronted withthe charge of Karl F. Wettstone,president of the University of Du¬buque, which has barred competitionwith outside schools during the lastyear.Names Seven ChangesDr. Wettstone declared that thefollowing seven changes must be madeto relieve the situation:1. Emphasize brain above brawn.2. Regard professors as morethan mere campus incidents.3. Abandon scouting.4. Abolish athletic scholarships.5. Put coaches and athletic direc¬tors on an equal salary basis withother department heads.6.

InitiatesRehearse ProgramRisky Business ToGuess Frosh AgesGuessing at a freshman’s age isa risky proposition. At the Univer¬sity his age may range from fourteento forty-five, according to statisticsfrom the Recorder’s office. Seventeenand a half is the average age as re¬corded. The majority of Ohio Statefreshmen are eighteen, which putsthe Chicago campus six months aheadof its neighbor. Neophytes of W. A.

Blackfriars’ potential chorus menhave found shelter from the cruelworld and the Reynolds club manage¬ment. Yesterday Joe Barron led hishigh-steppers over to the handballcourts in the West stand, and therethey will remain until the end ofthe quarter.The concrete floor does not re¬flect the rythmic movement of thedancers and the surroundings are notas pleasing as formerly, but there isa feeling of security from the wrathof the “people downstairs.”Northwestern ChecksWomen’s ActivitiesNorthwestern University, with theco-operation of the Women’s Self-governing society, has adopted a sys¬tem to check the tendency of the Co¬eds to devote too much time to cam¬pus activities. By the adoption ofthe 100 point system it will be nec¬essary to maintain a certain stand¬ard of academic work before activ¬ities will be allowed. JOHN GUNTHER, ’22,WRITES OF CAMPUSJohn A.

Through the snowdrifts of mid¬winter blows in a gust of vague reports—among them that theUniversity Debating team will engage, or has engaged, some teamor other. And we know, in consequence, that the University De¬bating team still exists. A few of our acquantances bear us wordthat the Dramatic association is planning this or that, and weobscurely appreciate that the Dramatic association is alive.The big three—the activities that fifteen, even ten years ago,spelled the essence of college life—the songbirds, the orators, theactors—the stiff-shirted shows of yesteryears,—where are they?The 'Glee club has capitulated utterly, the occasional debates aresparsely attended by graduate specialists and a few indolents, andthj Dramatic association feels complacent over an even break ona one-night run. It is said that only the persons fitted for nothingelse lengage in these once glorious and popular fields of extra-cur¬ricular pleasure and enlightenment. Certainly the participantsno 'longer attain to the heights in campus recognition.What’s the answer? It s not likely the ten years have wroughtsuch a tremendous change in the inclinations of youth. Still thebig three are losing ground. In many of our American univers¬ities they have been dropped.There can be no ready explanation. Surely, the love of dis¬course, and the love of music and the drama ar no less present inthis year’s undergraduate body. It is true that athletics andother hard-knuckled activities have come into a new prominence.It is also true that modern students have a more extensive con¬tact with the professional practice of play producing, music in¬terpretation and public speaking, to the discredit of local andamateur performances.Still the urge towards these higher things should and mustpersist; what form it takes matters less than the importance orpresence of the urge.THE YOUNG MEN’S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATIONTHE Y. M. C. A., long tolerated gently around these parts, andeven admired, from a safe distance, has this year come into anew vitality, and into a new importance on the University campus.Mr. McLean, new to the job of “Y” secretary this year, hasconceived of his position as something more than that of a smil¬ing back-slapper, with finger raised in soft admonition. He hascome to the University with a new and sweeping interpretation ofwhat Christianity really means, with a purpose to infuse the cam¬pus with the Christian feeling, and with the personal drive and in¬telligence to do it. He sees that Christianity is nothing if it doesnot reach into all the phases of daily life, so he throws his re¬sources and his ability into every campus activity which is worthwhile or into every project which has possibilities.He has won over to his side the support of men whom hispredecessors have never succeeded in interesting—the men whoreally create campus opinion. Power to him. In BriefBy Dexter W. MastersThe President of these UnitedStates is most unfortunate for, sel¬dom as he departs from his uncom¬municative tactics, he arouses thegreatest dissension when he does.And so it is with the Nicaraguanquestion now hanging fire.The policy stated in regard to thepart America would play in Nicar¬agua by Messrs. Kellogg and Cool- idge, was not particularly aggressivenor was it foisted upon the senateand house with anything similar tomalicious intent. But what are theresults? Mr. Coolidge, and Mr. Kel¬logg to a lesser degree, are assailedbitterly by irate senators and repre¬sentatives.The most recent statement of theopposition was uttered by one Sen¬ator Borah who is most readily iden¬tified at present as the spokesmanof the Borah-Wheeler-combine for thesuppression of presidential author¬ity. Mr. Borah yesterday branded the current Nicaraguan policy as anunjustified attitude on the part ofthe government, and as a question ofnational policy and not one limited“to the recognition of this or that in¬dividual.” Continuing, he blasted thefond and firm conviction of the aver¬age American by saying that the casewas absolutely alienated from theconcern of the Monroe doctrine.The public is scarcely able to forman opinion one way or the other be¬cause of the secrecy with which theevents are veiled. The president sta¬ted the policy and followed soon af¬ ter with an explanation of his rea¬sons for his stand. Secretary Kel¬logg backed this up with one of hisown yesterday, but the senate re¬mains unsatisfied. And in the mean¬time, two more warships have beenordered to Nicaragua.PLAYERS MEETMeeting of Tower Players, Friday,at 2:30, in the Tower Room.

Added to this isthe lure which the Orient and thing3pertaining to it has for almost everyone, and Chicago is responding ea¬gerly to the attractive combination.Melodrama though it is, there aremore moments when on finds oneselftense with interest than in TheGreen Hat even. The plot picks oneup and carries one with ever-increas¬ing interest to the end. The playis laid in a Chinese house of prosti¬tution, presided over by one MotherGeddam, a weird figure, fantasticallyinterpreted by Florence Reed, whoselovely natural voice is completelylost in the intricacies of the shrillaccents and guttural sounds whichshe emits interestingly and continu¬ally.Good TechniqueShe is a power in China—she ad¬mits modestly at one point, “I amthe government. I am the police.”For twenty years her hate has kepther alive and brought her to thepower which she now is in a posi¬tion to use against the object of herhatred. Sir Guy Charteris is thechief guest at her dinner party,where she confronts him with heridentity as the little Manchu princesswhom he has wronged in many ways,and where she makes him pay thedebt in full. loiter he drinks thedregs of human misery, but in turn¬ing the gods on him, Moyner God-dan finds them on her own heels. Thedinner scene achieves a pitch whichmight easily descend, but it is main¬tained to the climatic end. It is asuperb piece of playwriting tech¬nique, which left the house, on theopening night when I saw it, tooimpressed to applaud.Responsive AudienceIf one does not care for melo¬drama, or if the combination ofopium pipes, “nice” girls hanging incages and other like items of Orient¬al connotation does not appeal. Irecommend the play as a place to goto watch, people. It is a very in¬teresting audience that one finds atthe Shanghai Gesture, which re¬sponds as a unity. They laugh andsigh and look shocked at the samemoments.But don’t go if you sit near any¬one like the man who sat behind meand made obvious remarks.

Arrange¬ments have been made for the wordsto be written on the back of the pro¬gram so that all at the ball may singthe song together.The “Caisson Song” is well knownamong military organizations as oneof the most famous melodies connectedwith the service. The words are asfollows:Over hill, over dale,As we bit the dusty trail,And those caissons go rolling along.In and out, bear them shout,Counter-march and right about,As those caissons go rolling along.For it’s hie, hie, he,In the Field Artillery,Shout out your numbers loud andstrong!For where’er you go, you will alwaysknow!That those caissons are rolling along.subtle in his delineation of character,and in his creation of situations.Sherwood Anderson has attempteda fictional autobiography, fictional inthat many of the situations are untrue,and autobiographical in the reactionsof the hero, Tar.

W.Guy de Maupassant’s story, “APiece of String,” has a rival in theexperience of one of the Universityof Wisconsin’s world war veterans,whose tale might be called “TheRomance of a University of Wiscon¬sin Gym Towel.”This revelation was made in thewar record report sent to Prof. CarlRussell Fish, Historian of the Mili¬tary Service Record and Honor Rollat the Badger school, by BennettRoss Taylor ’14. Taylor, who isnow a dairy inspector at Harvard,Ill., laments that during his earlyexperience he missed coming intocontact with other Wisconsin men.‘Finally,” Taylor writes, “at PayneField I lost a U. W. gym towel inthe shower room. Upon going backto look for it I found that there wasanother claimant already on the spot,none other than Lt. Bennett ’14,with whom I first became acquaint¬ed in this way.”This just goes to prove the oldsaying that “all’s fair in love andwar,” and that all college gym tow¬els aren’t in their respective gym¬nasiums.MORTAR BOARD PLEDGESThe Mortar Board announces thepledging of Marcia Masters of Chi¬cago. •There will be a meeting of theTower players on Friday at 2:30 inthe Tower room of Mitchell. War With Mexico OverQuestion Is RidiculousSays Professor“The United States backed thewrong horse in supporting the Diazgovernment in Nicaragua,” accord-•*. fting to Jerome Gregory Kerwin, M.A., of the Political Science depart¬ment. “It is ridiculous to say thatwe may have a war with Mexico overthis question, and to say that the bol-shevists are back’ of the Nicaraguatrouble is sheer ‘bunk.’ The UnitedStates is the last government in theworld which needs to fear the ‘reds.’The cry of ‘red’ is simply raised toarouse opposition.“Since the election of October,19£4, Nicaragua has been,” saysMr. Kerwin, “in a constant state ofupheavel. The 1924 election carrieda coalition ticket into power withSolor Zano, a Conservative, as presi¬dent and a Liberal by the name ofSacasa became vice-president.”Have Central AgreementThe Central American govern¬ments have an agreement amongthemselves and with the UnitedStates to recognize no revolutionarygovernments. Zano was recognizedby these goverments and our own,which left marines at Nicaragua toprevent a repetition of the numerousrevolutions prior to 1924.In spite of these precautions arevolution broke out headed by Cha¬morro, a man of mysterious origin.He forced President Zano to resign,forced Sacasa, who as vice-presidentshould have become president underthe constitution of Nicaragua, toleave the country, and also forcedthe resignations of sixteen membersof the congress. Peace suggestions ofthe Conservatives were refused bythe berals, nor would they acceptSacasa’s offer to resign in favor ofanother man of his own party ifhe were personally objectionable tothe people.Action IllegalThe congress was convened irreg¬ularly with many of the membersabsent and others not voting, andDiaz, the man now supported by theUnited States, was elected by this“rump” congress. Diaz had previ¬ously been president several timeswithin the past twenty-five years,and his terms of office had alwaysbeen marked by trouble. Indeed, hehad only remained in office throughthe help of United States Marines,and the charge now made againsthim is that he represents the UnitedStates oil interests.Sacasa recently returned from hisexile in Mexico and demanded thathe be recognized as president as theNicaraguan constitution provides. Itwas his arrival that brought aboutthe present crisis of affairs. One ofthe complicating circumstances par¬tially accounting for the UnitedStates’ interest in the trouble is itstreaty with Nicaragua granting itthe perpetual right of building a ca¬nal through the eountry.SOCIALLL SPEAKINGThe social calendar for this week¬end is significant in its lack of cam¬pus affairs.

Chicago gives no scholarshipsand offers no special inducements toplayers. With a coach like the ‘OldMan’ directing athletics here, men arenot ruined for the sake of a mere win.It will be noticed that when teams begin to lose at a school, the schoolfails to draw men. and the direct re¬sult is that the faculty deteriorates,and the school drops.
