No. 78.WHAT of Wmeoftpe MORGENSTERp UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1927It's a queer life, I reflect, stoppingfor a moment in my routine course ofknocking out one of these things 'ev¬ery day. and taking stock for thenonce before I go on. I survey whatI have done this college year and whatmy column has said for me. The ideaconies to me that I am a ventriloquist,that 1 sit with this little marionettefigure of a column in my lap everyda> and make it seemingly live by it-scli. whilst all the time the thoughtand opinions it utters slide covertlynut of the side of my mouth. The col¬umn throws a veil of impersonalityabout me. When I read it, I haveno thought of myself; it is as if I werereading some other ntan. Hence, Isuppose, if anyone else has a thoughtof what the column has to say, orseeks to sense the personality that thisraw eighteen inches of space repre¬sent <. he does not think of the fellowwho sits grinding out what one of mycolleagues has chosen to term “thelavender and old lace," hut feels in his’mind rather a certain spirit that thesum of all the year’s columns has goneto make. I am glad this is so. If itweren’t, I should feel a reticence andtimidity in merely walking about. It isnot I who rejoice if a column is good,or I who suffer if it has been bad.Whatever the effect, it falls on thecolumn, not on me. Good- enough—yetsometimes I feel as if this inanimate(in actuality) space has really a heartof its own, apd that it is not I whocommand it as the ventriloquist, but itwhich has escaped from me in thegloom of some unremembered night,and now stands, a hard master, overme.* * * *Why I go off on this particulartangent today, or for that matter, onany other (as I do every day) I donot know. I guess it’s just the odd-nc'' of the thing, and of things ingeneral, which prompts me to gropearound for a moment or so in the darkand then bring out a card with the ev¬eryday philosophical sentiment of“Life is queer" written on it as theresult of my gropings. Somebody elsemight have come up with “What’sthe use?" or “Why are we here, andwhither do we go?” as the sentimenton the card he had dragged out fromthe recesses of his mind. Even I mightif I were any less simple than I am,hut I am content with arriving at con¬clusions of the most primary naturewhen I delve into w-hat resembles evenslightly the abstract. So I say, life isqueer. Well, we have gone on so farjust as we might have if we had beentalking casually together, and we mayhave come to an impasse, for all Iknow. That’s the way this columnalways gets on; that’s the way every¬one gets on in whatever he does—sim¬ply and casually, without particularforethought or afterthought. That’show the things that get written aboutin this column do get written about—not for any particular reason, butbecause there isn’t any particular rea¬son why they shouldn’t be writtenabout. Sa with everything: things justget done—we just do them. I holdthe card that I pulled out of the darkup again—“Life is queer.” That’s allthe explanation I have for anything,and all, I think, that any of us need.* * * *To patch out the rest of the column,we might consider the football situa¬tion. Some of you may consider it alittle premature to be considering thatsituation, of all others. But apparent¬ly Mr. Stagg doesn’t. He got his bandof Happy Warriors together in theCommons last night and gave thema meal and a talking to, in expectationof the coming season. He advised thehoys to get into shape for the darkdays to come. With Penn, Illinois,Michigan and Wisconsin coming on,f dotf’t fdame Mr. Stagg for sounsel-ing as he did, and if I were one ofthe boys, I’d take the Old Man’s ad¬vice, too. (Why this was the stuff thatwas destined to fill out the column Idon’t know. It just bears out what Ihad to say up above).

GRAHAM TALKSTO CHINESE SOCIETYProf. Luckenhill Spends YearsIn Compiling Assyrian DictionaryA dictionary of the Assyrian lan¬guage, the product of ten years’work, to be completed in 1930 is be¬ing compiled by Professor Daniel D.Luckenbill, of the Oriental Instituteof the University, aided by Dr. FredGeers, secretary of the Assyrian Dic¬tionary staff. The work of indexing,classifying, and defining each wordhas been in progress for seven yearsand by the end of two more yearsDr. Luckenbill expects to have over1,000,000 words in the dictionaryfile. ,The material of the dictionary hasbeen based on words extracted fromthe Assyrian literature of 3200 B.C. to 100 B. C. and some revisedand corrected words have been takenfrom other Assyrian dictionaries.The research work involved in thegathering of original material makes it necessary for Dr. Luckenbill tospend a great deal of time away fromthe University.At present there, are 500,000 cardsin the index file. Every time a wordappears in an Assyrian text, it is re¬corded on a card together with spe¬cific data concerning grammaticaland philological information.“For example,” said Dr. Lucken¬bill, pulling out a drawer of the file,“here is part of the space devoted tothe word in Assyrian meaning* ‘in.’We have about 4,500 cards dealingwith this one word so that we shallbe familiar with all of its uses in thelanguage.”In addition to the help of Dr.Geers, sL( experts in various parts ofthe United States from time to timecontribute information to Dr. Luck¬enbill.i “American Literature and Life"will be discussed by Mrs. KatherineA. Graham of the English departmentat the meeting of the Chinese Stu¬dents Association on Satrday, Feb.19, in the library of Ida Noyes hallBecause of the many recent politi¬cal disturbances in China, the Na¬tional Chinese Students Association ofAmerica has become inactive, 'theChinese Students of the University,wishing to continue their activities, willdecide at the meeting whether theywill remain affiliated with the ha|ionalorganization, or become indepehdentof that order.Another question to be consideredat this meeting is that of a printeddirectory of Chinese Students 4t theUniversity instead of the mimfeogfraph-ed one now used.

The Board of Trusteescontinues to announce gifts to the University and to make plansfor the greater Univer^ty of the future.The Daily Maroon feels that part of this greater future Uni¬versity should comprise better housing conditions for its students.The present dormitories at the University are patently inadequateto give shelter to all those students who desire rooms on the quad¬rangles. Each dormitory has a long waiting list.The ideal university is interested in giving its students thestimulation of mual contact. The present inadequacy of the dorm¬itories forces a great body of students to live in obscure roominghouses, often at a distance from the campus and isolated fromthe good things which the campus has to offer.This pressing need for more dormitories should take pre¬cedence over the demands of particular departments of the Uni¬versity for more room. The University should be more interestedin the whole lives of its students than in any one phase of theirlives. More, and better, and cheaper dormitories is a programwhich the Daily Maroon proposes to press to the bitter end.EXERCISE FOR THE GRADUATES *“/^OD KNOWS the graduate students need exercise,” Dean^ Laing is reported to have said when the Intramural Divis¬ion’s project of developing graduate competition was broachedto him, “the thing should have been done long ago.”Dean Laing, together with most of the other departmentheads and deans, has declared his hearty approval of the graduatesports program. There are over fifteen hundred graduate menin residence on our campus who drive through an average oftwelve hours a day craning over books or poring over the shelvesin the depths of the library stack or fingering well worn type¬writers. They sleep six to eight hours a day and spend the restof their time eating or engaging in other sedentary occupations.Sae for the well well-balanced souls who inhabit the handballcourts they exercise not at all. Perhaps that is the reason for1the pale face and the soluching gate and the worn look which istypical of graduate students.The Daily Maroon is no oracle of the gospel of physical-cul-ture-saving-the-world. But a reasonable amount of exercise,especially when it is engaged in for fun as well as for health, isdemonstrably a valuable and profitable part in the program of . agood life. The Intramural Department will have a herculen taskbefore it in overcoming the initial inertia of the graduate body butonce they have done it they will really have filled a long-felt want. Admittedly the questions of protec¬ting the foreigners and of makingtheir lot less precarious should notbe treated with quite so much concernwith the danger lessened, but it seemsfolly to absolutely disregard them.And that is the case. The officials atHankow expressed themselves in dis¬patches yesterday as opposed to theKellogg proposition of exempting theinternational settlement at that cityfrom the region of the struggle, Pe¬king alone pledging protection of for¬eign life and property.Eugene Chen, foreign miiter of teCantonese forces, declared yesterdaythat Great Britain’s actions in placingmilitary and naval forces at Shanghaihave been largely responsible for cre¬ating the necessity of ^defense meas¬ures for the foreigners. That may beso, but at present everything concern¬ed with movements in China is rathershady from the standpoint of the lay¬man, including as much as anythingelse the policies and actions of GreatBritain and America. About the onlybit of news which may be acceptedwith any degree of certainity is thatsomething is happening. What that isno one seems to know.* * *Teh Portuguese revolution whichhad its opening night in Oporto lastweek threatens to envelope England inanother flurry judging from the latestreports.

Aflock of teams, good and true, stillconsider themselves eligible for thehonor—they are Wisconsin, Purdue,Illinois, Indiana and Iowa.For a time we thought that In¬diana was not only Michigan’s sev¬erest competitor but also its mostlikely nemesis, that in spite of theHoosier defeat applied by the Wol¬verines. But ever since we saw theMaroons prove how foolish a manfor man defense really can be, wewill say that any and all have achance.If the Michigan machine, averag¬ing 180 avoirdupois per individualand 30 feet and some odd inchesamongst them, will continue to gothrough this turbulent season with adefeat, even though they win alltheir games by one-point margins, itand its components deserve all themovie contracts, collar-ad portraits,and dance engagements that the dearpublic will hurl at it and them. ForMichigan has yet to sprain ankleswith Purdue twice, Chicago twice, Il¬linois, Indiana and Iowa once. Withthe exception of Chicago, who is thetype that don’t care who their occa¬sional victim might be, all Michi¬gan's opponents may be labeled con¬tenders.Wisconsin isn’t at all impressive—at least, to us. They have a goodforward in Behr and a fair guard inBarnum, and Kowalcyzk will develop,but all in all it isn’t a championshipteam. They should start slipping soon—that is, they should, but basket¬ball championship races will be b. b.championship races. Purdue, favor¬ed with a good schedule, stands anexcellent opportunity of seeing thelight—that is, if Wheeler should con¬tinue to sink ’em while they watchCummins, and vice versa.NATIONAL ACADEMYCAGE TOURNEY SETFOR MAR. 17, 18, 19Madison, Wis., Feb. 8.—With ar-•angements completed for holding theNational Academy Basketball tourna¬ment here on March 17, 18, and 19, theathletic department of the University»f Wisconsin is planning to entertainscores of Military School students atMadison during that week-end.Eight teams comprised the Nation-d Academy Basketball roster lastt’car, including Pillsbury Academy, St.lohn’s Military Academy, MorganI’ark Military Academy, Milwaukeeountry Day School, Wayland Acad¬emy, St. Alban's, Onarga MilitaryAcademy, and Howe School.Evidence that the number of cu¬ries this year will be larger is shownJy inquiries made concerning theournament by Culver Military Acad-■)iy, Western Military Academy, Prin-’ipia, Thorpe and other similar insti¬tutions.AN INVITATIONis extended to all Universitystudents to dine atANNA LYOtf’S TEA SHOPDelicious Homecooking at reason¬able prices.1449 E. 57th STREETUNIVERSITY LUNCH57 06 Ellis Ave.Try Our Minute Service Lunch35cChop Suey & Chow MeinOur Soecialty Conference StandingW L PetMichigan 5 0 1.000Wisconsin 4 1 .800Pui due 3 1 .750Illinois 5 2 .714Indiana 5 2 .714Iowa 3 2 .600Ohio State 3 4 .428CHICAGO 2 4 .333Northwestern 0 5 .000Minnesota 0 9 .000SportologyBy Tom StephensonMore About StallingTo begin where I left off yesterdayon this subject of stalling.... I havedeclared myself in favor of it....Nowgo on with the story—One of the objections frequentlygiven is that stalling takes the “kick”out of the basketball game and dead¬ens the interest for spectators. In myexperience at spectating I have foundit just the opposite. Stalling adds a“kick” to the game. It puts varietyinto the play instead of monotony.It gives the team that is ahead achance to stay ahead by using the"bean,” but not an unfair chancebecause the team that is behind mayalso use the “bean” to break it up.Stalling is a boon to the smart bas¬ketball team, to the smart basketballplayer, and to the smart basketballcoach.For example, the Hoosier game lastSaturday, in which the Maroonsstalled and stalled and stalled, wassaid by spectators to be one of themost exciting games ever witnessed.I have heard more comment on theway McDonough monopolized theball from his series of jump-ups inthe last two minutes of play (by tip¬ping the ball back of him, catching it,and holding it for another jump) thanI have on the basket shooting prowessof any of the players.(To Be Continued)I-M InklingsThe Alpha Tail Omega class “A”basketball team is seriously out toretain the University title which theywon last year. Already proclaimedchampions of the Delta League, theA. T, O.'s are preparing for thechampionsship round by engaging insome stiff practice games. Last nightthey dropped a game to the Univer¬sity High School heavyweight teamby a 28 to 18 score.

Having itsusual strong team, and an impressiverecord of fifteen consecutive victoriesover the Illini, the team should ad¬vance another notch in Big Ten stand¬ing.So far the team hasn’t lost a meethaving two pre-season and a victoryover Ohio State to its credit. The Illi¬nois team has been having troublewith their eligibility list and theirstrength is problematical.In Capt. Davidson, Coach Hofferhas one of the outstanding men in theconference, and a strong competitorfor the Conference championship.Davidson is especially proficient onthe parallel abrs, besides being an ex¬pert tumbler.

His playing wascharacterized by excellent guardingfor the losing team.Phi Sigma^Delta defeated Delta Up¬silon 16 to 8, in another fast gamefeatured by close guarding. Fringoldwas high point man garnering 11 ofhis teams 16 points.Free Throws CostlyAlpha Tau Omega defeated Phi Kappa Sigma 20 to 15, in a close hardfought game.

Thus the teamwhose sprinters reach top form firstis due to rake in the win, for therest of the events are evenly and cer¬tainly divided. If Weddell, Smith andSpence of the Maroon team comethrough with fast performances all willbe well and good, but if, on the otherhand, Kane, and Irwin, and Crooksof the Buckeyes keep up their presentspeed work the Maroons are apt toslide off on the end of a five pointdefeat.KrTss ThreatensA lad called Kriss seems to be atearing menace in the 40 and the 440and has a second or two edge onStagg’s men in both of the events. ButBurke and Hegovic may be able tocatch up with that extra second.

Captain McConnell will romparound at short, Brignall at third,Webster will perform as usual be¬hind the bat, Macklind will catchflies out in the garden, and Markswill heave the pill from the pitchersbox. Assisting these will be Hoerger,Gordon, Price, McDonough, Zimmer¬man, and Coopqr of last year’s squad.New men who have signified theirintention of winning a letter (?) areWilliams, Kaplan and Ward, pitch¬ers; Tollman and Bishop, first base;and Leyers and Davis in the field,and Raysson as catcher.According to Coach Crisler themen should be in good shape by themiddle of April, and he expectsmore men out when the team getsoutside. A great many of the menare now performing on the basket¬ball court, but as they are in goodshape it will* not take much time forthem to catch up with the rest.Chicago has been fixed up witha very good schedule.
