THURSDAY, JANUARY 27. 1927WHAT OF REVISED SYSTEMwti/u ur TQ F|LLIT?The Phoenix (“campus humorpublication,” you know) is comingout next month with a Cabaret Num¬ber. The boys are out to give it thereai cabaret atmosphere. They’vebeen making the rounds of the nightclubs lately and soaking what passesfor that atmosphere up in large quan¬tities. At this date it fairly oozesfrom them. I am safe in saying thatthe boys on The Phoenix are fedup (or soaked up) on cabarets. I donot know, however, in how great adegree they will be able to mirrortruthfully the cabaret life in thecoming number. For, in soaking itup, they may have missed some ofthe essential details of it, forgot,perhaps, to look around and see whatwas going on in other quarters notadjacent to the area occupied bytheir particular table. This, no dpubtis rather a slipup on the part of theboys. Their circuit-riding around thebright lights of the town over, theyhave no real impressions of the placesthey have been to reflect in the com¬ing Phoenix. This is too bad, yetthere still remains time to fix thingsup. And close at home, too. JOBS NOW OPENBennett Proposes TrialPeriod to PrecedeElectionApproval of a probation periodfor candidates for the four open p<^sitions in the Undergraduate councilwas voiced yesterday afternoon at ameeting of the council. Two menand two women from the Juniorclass will be selected at the end ofthe current quarter to fill the va¬cancies. ,The plan proposed by WendellBennett, council president, providesthat all candidates must present tothe council before Feb. 4, their re¬port. On that date they must ap¬pear at a meeting at 3:30 in Clas¬sics 20. No candidates will be ac¬cepted who fail to comply with theseinstructions.Increase Council PowerThe council also voted that itshould have the power to strike outany candidates who proved unsatis¬factory during the probation period.(Continued on page 2)For the campus is to have its ownnight club. The activities of Twen¬ty-second and Thirty-fifth streetswill move south, and set up head¬quarters at the erstwhile chaste andrestrained Coffee Shop, the onlysmirch on whose fair name so far isits olive-nut sandwiches. Tonight thenew order will drag itself in at theCoffee Shop. All the orchestral dinthat Henrici’s boasts of not havingwill be around the Spa this eveningwhen the moon is well up. The spir¬its of Ike Bloom and Texas Guinanwill hang heavy over the soda foun¬tain. Campus talent, or what is tak¬en for it in lieu of something better,will be out in force, and put on what¬ever it can for the edification of thepatrons. This entertainment will beentirely spontaneous; the performersthat is, will do their stuff just out ofsheer goodness of heart and the de¬desire to see a festive and cabaret¬like atmosphere realized. TRY FIRST PLAYWITHOUT SCENERY“Tierre Patelin” PresentedBy Tower PlayersAll of this is interesting. In the¬ory the ideas outlined so far for mak¬ing the Coffee Shop a more gladden¬ing place from now on (and theyare not my ideas, but those of theboys who got up the idea of havinga campus night club) are goodenough. But the theory of what thisnight club ought to be really shouldnot stop at the limits already mark¬ed out. No, if there is to be a nightelub, let it be a real one. Let it goin lor everything that the acceptedidea of a night club means—andmore. Why not do the thing upbrown? I’m in favor, in the firstplace, of getting a hostess (or, fail¬ing that, a host) to help things along.How about John Allison, or one ofthe other campus glazed-eyed boys,standing up and introducing the en¬tertainers before they put on theiracts with a “Come on boys, give thisHttle girl a hand?” “Tierre Patelin”, the first of a ser¬ies of four productions to be pre¬sented by the Tower Players willbe given Friday, Feb. 4 in the thea¬tre of the Reynolds club. The factthat it is a fifteenth century farcemakes it possible to try out an “act¬ing rehearsal,” that is, presentingthe play without scenery. This is anexperiment which has never beentried before by campus actors.Heretofore the plays have beenacted by men, but this year womenhave been added to the cast.The “Great Divide” by WilliamVaughn Moody is the next playscheduled for production. Mr.Vaughn Moody was formerly a mem¬ber of the faculty of the University.

BillHahn and his orchestra, well knownin university circles, will furnish themusic.The tax is two dollars per couple.It is predicted that quite a crowdwill be there. Assisting RichardKern in making plans for the fiestais Leila Thomas, secretary of theclub. Why these collegiate suicides?Is the recent orgy of self-inflicteddeaths an indication of a sweepingmovement among the students inAmerican universities?Frank Hurburt O’Hara, directorof student activities at the Univer¬sity, believes that the cases noted inthe last weeks are a few striking ex¬amples not at all indicative of thegeneral trend of student thought.Too Much Self-Interest—O’HaraMr. O’Hara pointed out that thesuicides are evidently due to toomuch introspection and too muchself interest. The recent Wisconsinsuicide seems to be a parallel casewith the previous Illinois incident.Dr. Louis L. Thurstone of the de¬partment of Psychology at the Uni¬versity commented at length on thestudent deaths. He advocated psy¬chiatric treatment for cases of men¬tal depression, which he believes isa serious illness comparable to physi¬cal illness. His complete statementfollows:Public Attitude At FaultSuicides among University stu¬dents are caused at least in part bythe public attitude toward mentalillness and insanity. Mental illnessshould not be cause for social stig¬ma. As soon as we have any physi¬cal ailment we consider it a matterof common sense and good judgmentto seek medical advice, butmental troubles which are seriousenough to become pathological arenot usually ao handled.There is a general tendency tohide mental troubles rather than toseek help for them. I am sure thatmost of the suicides among univer¬sity students could be prevented ifevery case of pathological depres¬sion were referred to a competentpsychiatrist for advice.Should Come From PatientOf course the patient should do itvoluntarily if possible, but hisfriends should force medical atten¬tion if the depression is of such acharacter that the patient refuses it.With the advice of a good psychia¬trist, a patient may x’ecover from a(Continued on page 2)Advanced Medics toTalk Over NervesFROSH CORRECT DATE;DANCE FEBRUARY 25Through an unavoidable misunder¬standing, the Freshman Board ofManagement announced as the dateof the second class dance, February18.

Recognizing the imper¬fections of this system the Inter-club council appointed a com¬mittee which cooperated with a faculty committee in construct¬ing a new mechanism for club selection. The two committeeshave finally concluded that the best solution of the problem isthe deferring of pledging for two years, with only senior collegewomen eligible for membership. Tonight the plan is up for ac¬ceptance or rejection by the clubs.The Daily Maroon favors the rejection of the plan as it is nowformulated and proposes that the clubs adopt instead a plan whichallows pledging at the beginning of the spring quarter of thefreshman year, or in more exact terms, at the time the particulargirl is credited with six majors of college work.There is little doubt that the principle of deferred rushinghas been justified both in theory and practice. At present theclubs make a determined onslaught on the alleged “cream” of thefreshman class, and before the autumn quarter is three weeksold they have these chosen girls firmly and almost irrevocablydivided among themselves, wearing in the form of pledge pins theadvertisement of inspection, analysis, classification and stampedapproval.From the opening day of school, and often before, in spite ofthe specific but useless regulations of the Council, the freshmangirls are entertained and propagandized to the point of temporaryblindness, and at the end of three weeks, while they are stilllooking crookedly through the exaggerated perspectives of inex¬perience and bewilderment are called upon to make a decision.They often make decisions which they regret in later, sanermoments. Worse than that the clubs are not given an opportunityadequately to survey the whole field and carefully make theirbids upon a thorough understanding and appreciation of eachgirl’s character. They must choose hastily. They have time tolook for only the most obviously or blatantly desirable girls.Out-of-town girls or girls whose charm or intelligence or abilityare more subtle are too often neglected until the reaction periodsets in and the clubs hesitate to admit that their first judgmentswere wrong.For these reasons and others the women’s committees de¬cided to propose that pledging be postponed for two years. Butin their solution The Daily Maroon believes they have overlookedmany of the human values involved. Deferred rushing is goodbut it should not be overdone. The girls who are in clubs ap¬preciate most keenly during the first, second and possibly thirdyears of their undergraduate lives the companionships and loyal¬ties and interest of their group contacts. There is little logicin depriving them entirely of those most enjoyable first years.The clubs provide a positive service to the social life of the cam¬pus, and there seems little likelihood that the formlessness whichthe women’s plan calls for in the junior college would be any¬thing but negative.The Daily Maroon plan would save the clubs from becomingprosaic honor societies, and yet the element of real worth as abasis of admission woud not be overlooked. In BriefBy Dexter W. Masters’Senator Wheeler of Montana, ap¬parently the only member of thesenate who will admit that things asthey are not as they should bein regard to the Nicaraguan contro¬versy, issued a few challenges to hiscolleagues yesterday afternoon. Heurged them to take their stand“either with the state departmentand its tyranny or against it,” and,somehow, his words give the impres¬sion that the attitude of the statedepartment on the Nicaraguan ques¬tion is, in his opinoin, none too ad¬mirable.The address scored President Col-lidge and Secretary Kellogg as itcontinued on its vitriolic course,and ended by demanding an airingof the whole subject by the senateforeign relations committee. Thesenator accused the president ofholding back the true facts regard¬ing the Nicaraguan problem, wit¬tingly or unwittingly, and said thatthe least to be said concerning thepresident’s actions is that he hasbeen misled. Pity the president!His taciturnity gives him no re¬course while the senate continuesto defeat his nominees, attack hisforeign policies, and over-ride hisbudgets.As things stand, though, SenatorWheeler’s challenge or, rather, pro¬position ought to command a littleattention on the part of the Cool-idge-Kellogg combine and perhaps,the senate.* * *The separation suit of EdwardW.

Moreover, it is claimed thecandidates will have an opportunityto acquaint themselves with theirjobs, and will have a definite motivefor doing good work. Voice of the PeopleThe Inefficiency of the DeansThe general opinion on campus isthat the deans are somewhat respon¬sible for the success or failure of thefreshmen students.The deans at the University ofChicago present an indifferent at¬titude towards the students’ selec¬tions of courses, and as a whole, tothe students themselves. If one stu¬dent’s selection seems favorable to adean he immediately marks approv¬al, and calls in the next student. Abarber, after finishing with a hair¬cut, at least asks if you wish ashampoo. The dean has no time forextras, such as talking over personalinterests. He isn’t interested in in¬vestigation the student's mental ca¬pacity to find out what courses thestudent should or should not take.And so it is often a common occur¬rence that a student will “flunk” acourse not because of inability, butbecause of a lack of painstakingmental guidance.It is a known fact that the fresh¬man class contains more failuresthan any other class. The new stu¬dent is not accustomed to his newenvironment, and should thereforereceive special attention from hisdean. If the student is not decidedupon his subjects, the dean should help him pick out a course from eachschool, letting the student determinelater the field for which he is bestfitted. But the student should notbe loaded with such subjects asChemistry, Physics and Botany f0rthe first quarter—subjects which t\.difficult for most upperclassmen*Often a dean recommends a courseabout which he knows little. If hedoes not know the general outlay 0fcourses, how can he advise a courseof study to students who come tohim with plans for entering variousvocations. A dean should have aknowledge of subjects other thanthose of his own field.One solution offered to eliminatethese complications is to influenceyoung graduate students to study ageneral outline of each course andappoint them as advisors to the dean.The other is to have deans who coulddevote their entire time to the stu¬dents. Either solution will be ade¬quate, for in each case the dean willhave sufficient time to give suchproblems as have been cited theirproper attention.—Rudolph LeyertDELTHO PLEDGESDeltho announces the pledging ofVirginia Wiltshire and Louise Ken-dille both of Chicago.HOTEL DEL PRADO59th at Blackstone AvenueBARBER SHOPW.

The Ma¬roon game showed that Lambert doesnot have to depend on any one manto score, for while Cummins was be¬ing shadowed about the court, Whee¬ler and Wilson were ringing up thepoints.

Kissin(Minnesota Daily Sports Writer)Coach Blaine McKusick has se¬lected the men he will pit againstthe Chicagoans in the Minnesota-Chi-cago wrestling meet to be held inthe Gopher Armory Friday evening.The grapplers were chosen after aseries of elimination bouts.Bruce Church, the 115 poundflash, proved himself worthy of up¬holding Minnesota in the comingmeet as featherweight. In the Sat¬urday afternoon eliminations Churchcompletely out-grappled Pixler. Mil¬ler, a first year man, made a power¬ful showing against former CaptainDally and is slated to meet the Ma¬roon grappler in the 125 poundclass. Captain Steve Easter, winnerof last year’s conference meet, is en¬tered in the lightweights. The wel¬terweight position will be held byHarold Pederson, who won a berthamong the winners of the confer¬ence meet of two years ago. Ferrier,(Continued on page 4)Tarponers InitiateMembers of Tarpon Club have plan¬ned a joint initiation and stunt car¬nival to be held at 7:30 on Friday,Feb. 3 in the pool of Ida Noyes hall,according to Harriet Ray, presidentof the organization. Athletic directors of the Big Tenmet last Saturday and in an all-daysession arranged football schedulesfor the next four years, it was an¬nounced this afternoon. The sched¬ule arranged for this Autumn in themeeting of November 27 was leftunchanged, the directors merely add¬ing schedules for the year 1928 to1930, inclusive.Adoption of a four year schedulefor football is not on any “roundrobin” basis, but was made with thepurpose of enabling all teams to ar¬range satisfactory opposition.The University of Chicago sched¬ule, as announced by Director St.agg,puts all teams but Northwestern intocompetition with Chicago during thefour year period. After its six con¬ference games this Autumn, Chi¬cago plays five Big Ten games forthe next three years. Iowa and Min¬nesota, both of which have beenmissing from the Maroon schedulefor several years, have two gameseach with Stagg’s teams in the fouryear period. Iowa’s last game withChicago was in 1920 and Minnesota’sin 1918. Purdue, Wisconsin and Il¬linois are on the schedule all fouryears.To enable the framing of theschedule for all teams, Chicago andMichigan agreed to make a change intheir contract and withdraw theirgames in 1928 and 1930. The Wol¬verines and Maroons will meet, how¬ever, this year and again in 1929.The beneficiaries of the change wereMinnesota and Iowa.“This four year schedule is nota “round robin” said Mr. Stagg. “Itis an agreement for games made forthe next four years, instead of fromyear to year as heretofore. Theschedule was unanimously adoptedand willingly so by all ten of theathletic directors.“In a meeting held in Washingtonin November, eight of the collegepresident approved such a methodand requested the directors to makesuch an arrangement for four yearsif possible. After Maj. Griffith had called the meeting which is to be heldtomorrow to consider equalization ofcompetitive bases, the directors be¬lieved such a schedule was practical.“We reached this decision becausewe believed that after a frank con¬sideration of conditions, we wouldreach such a ground of understand¬ing as to be able to relinquish theone effective means we now have ofcorrecting undesirable situations—refusal to schedule.”Chicago’s schedules for the nextfour years are as follows:Home Games—1927Indiana, Purdue, Michigan, Wis¬consin.AwayOhio, Illinois.Home Games—1928Illinois, Purdue, Iowa.AwayMinnesota, Wisconsin.(Continued on page 4)CHAPMAN, TRACK ACE,LEAVES WISCONSINMadison, Wis., Jan. 27, 1927.—Victor Chapman, Wisconsin’s herald¬ed track star and winner of threeWestern Conference honors, will re¬tire from cinder competition nextsemester in order to complete schoolwork which he has been unable toattend to during his hospital con¬finement.A foot infection has incapacitatedChapman and has kept him in bedfor over a week. He is convalescingrapidly, however, and will be up andabout within another fortnight.News that the Badger triple-threattrack star who last year lead thefield in the Cross-country race, two-mile indoor and outdoor events willnot appear in Cardinal uniform atimpending meets, comes as a ringingblow to Wisconsin’s feared status inBig Ten track camps.Chapman will rest next week, butwill register at Wisconsin again inthe fall of 1927.

In a fewmoments he was in the ship radioroom.“Hurry,” he ordered, “Send a mes¬sage to all the fleet ships to rushimmediately to Nica-er-Nyco-er, er—Nicker. . .” He paused, disconcerted.Here was a problem—should an Ad¬miral of the glorious American navyseek aid from a radio operator;could he afford to lower a dignitywhich had been won after centuriesof war and heroism?
