UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1927WHAT of IT?mgQRjSE MO^GCNSTEfyMOn this campus there are aboutthirty Greek letter social fraternitiesami, I should estimate, at least a likenumber of organizations of an hon¬orary or departmental character. Atother schools the situation is evenmore happy—there is almost a clubfor every man, woman or child inschool. Indiana reports forty socialsocieties and fifty of the other styleof organization. Illinois has eightyfraternities, and (I should hazard) acomparable number of departmentaland honorary groups. Recently I wasreading the Illini news column in mytown weekly, and I was agreeablysurptised to find that “an honoraryhome economics fraternity,” withbadge, ritual, secrets, and completeline of claptrap had just been initi¬ated. There are some who will insistthat such a state of affairs as thesecompilations mirror is an ideal one.The run of humankind, they willpoint out. is gregarious. There is theinstinct for association. There is alsothe instinct for belonging to some¬thing. even if it’s only an honoraryhome economics fraternity.* * * *There is the. opposition agreement,of course, that too much of a goodthing is, after all, too much of agood thing. When one begins wear¬ing a badge for belonging to a sew¬ing circle things have gone just a lit¬tle bit too far, and it is time to callfor the marines to land and takethe situation in hand. When a lot'of the boys begin to wear a row ofmedals that makes them resembleField-Marshalls, its high time to getup a good poker game. These hon¬orary and departmental societies areall right in their way, but that doesnot go so very far. It’s pretty muenof a task to get down to the seriousbusiness of worshipping about theshrine of the Greek-letter goddessone night a week, without having togo out the next night and burn in¬cense before the great goddess ofhome economics. The point in all thisis obvious enough—that things areoverorganized, and that there aretoo many holy bands that haven’tany especial cause for existing. Ac¬tivities, as I sought to point outyesterday, do not help out the realand earnest purpose of the colleges,and particularly are they useless ifthere’s no compelling need for them.

Chambers, would limit theamount of damages which could becollected in breach-of-promise suitsto one cent. And one of the funda¬mental purposes of the bill, accord¬ing to Senator Chambers, would bea restoration of old-fashioned, realI romance.The senator denounced “designingwomen” as his reasons for attempt-I ing to pass the bill and a desire toprotect unsuspecting millionairesj from the wiles of the wicked. Some¬how the senator gives the impressionfrom his earnest and persistent ef¬forts to put his proposition through,that ^pch a suit might be impendingin his immediate family. And again,it might be all from the most altru¬istic motives. MAESTRO REVIVESOBSCURE SUITESBy Alfred V. FrankensteinYesterday’s symphony concert atMandel hall demonstrated that pop¬ularity is the curse of the artist,particularly the composer. The pro¬gram opened with a movement fromChaykovski’s first orchestral suite.Chaykovski wrote seven symphonies(if you are inclined to shout “No,six,” remember that one of them isnot numbered) and four suites for theorchestra. Four of these symphonieshave become so popular thatother large orchestral works arepractically on the obsolete list. Inabout ten years of constant attend¬ance at symphony concerts in Chi¬cago, I can not recall having heardan excerpt from an .orchestral suiteby Chaykovski until this year.Mr. Stock's revival of this move¬ment of the first suite revealed thatPeter the Pathetic could write fugueswith the best of them. He could prob¬ably reveal a lot of other phases ofthe marching Slav if he would resur¬rect the silent symphonies and theslumbering suites.(Continued on page 4)COUNCIL MEETSTHE DEPARTMENT OF ART'T'HE TWO-YEAR REGIME of Ernest Burton as President of**■ the University of Chicago was a period of regermination.Among the seeds which President Burton planted was the organ¬ization of the Department of Art which is now coming to a blos¬soming.The new Department was organized in 1924 with ProfessorSargent, an exceptionally competent man, as Head. Since then ithas offered an ambitious array of courses in the history, theoryand practice of architecture sculpture, painting and the minorarts. There are six people in the Department proper and fourin other Departments who offer courses in material related to art.The Daily Maroon believes that the Department of Art shouldbe expanded in scope and in endowment and in facilities. Oneof the first duties of a University is to give its students newworlds to live in; to sensitize them to those stimulations forwhich the past has provided abundant satisfaction; to give themlasting interests which will replace the immediate and temporaryinterests of youth. The love of the arts is surely such a newThe Department of Art is becoming increasingly popular;each quarter finds more students subscribing to its offerings.Although the Department is not a training school for professionalartists and even its practical courses are designed to give train¬ing in interpretation rather than in actual production there is nolimiting the possibilities for growth.At the time of‘the apportioning of the next budget the ad¬ministration of the university should take full account of thegrowth and function and possibilities of the Department of Artand grant it a larger faculty, more equipment and more space.And if by any effort the Administration can secure the funds,an Art Building should be built on the campus beautiful insideand out. The Interfraternity council meet¬ing, postponed from last week willbe held tonight at the Delta SigmaPhi house, 5615 University Avenue,at 6:15.

Weare playing at education, we are here because people aregoing to college nowadays . . . precedent.And after all there are a number of ways to look at thegreat game umpired by the pedagogues. There are those idlesouls among us who smile indifferently and make little gesturesthat say “what’s it all about.” Are they the philosophers or thefools? Whatever they are they express ideas that make us won¬der why, and what, and even, perhaps what of it?There is the logical plodding soul who curbs his ecstaticism,his temperament, and his almighty what-not and says: “College isa comfortable corridor that our matriculation fee gives us thekeys to. In that corridor are many niches and vistas. Collegegives us the opportunity to peer into and even become familiarwith those crypts of culture, learning, preparation. After allwhat we all need is background. College in its most efficientstate will give us the ability to be appreciative of whatever phaseor color of life we are put in contact with.”And so we say that there is logic and a certain amount ofdriveling undergraduate spittle in all of it. But then, they areideas, and even Undergrduates have them.

The fact-finding and record-keepingpart of the railway organization which provides thisinformation is known as the accounting department.This department deals with the audit of receipts anddisbursements and the maintenance of records showingthe financial condition, operating results, character andvolume of traffic transported and other data essentialto proper management. It is the duty of the account¬ing department to assemble records aivl reports foreach shipment handled, f>assenger transported, personemployed, article purchased or used and rent paid orreceived—in fact, for every transaction on the railroadinvolving money, labor, material or use of property.The organization of a railway accounting depart¬ment varies with the mileage operated, the volume oftraffic and the requirements of the management of eachindividual railroad. On a large system with a sub¬stantial volume of traffic, the organization will ordinar¬ily be in charge of a vice-president or comptroller, as¬sisted by a staff of auditors, each responsible tor someone branch or bureau of the accounting activities.'These sub-departments are generally organized aboutas follows:i. The general accounts and statistical bureau hasjurisdiction over the general hooks, the audit of billsfor collection, the preparation of reports to stockhold¬ers and to government authorities and the provisionof the statistical data generally required for the guid¬ance of executives or for use in rate cases and the like.2 and 3. The freight accounting bureau and thepassenger accounting bureau are engaged in parallellines of work, having to do with the audit of freightand passenger accounts, respectively, with investiga¬tions incident to the adjustment of under-charges andovercharges and with records as to the character andvolume of traffic transported and the like.4. The car accounting bureau audits accounts cov¬ering the use of equipment, both owned and foreign,and maintains records as to the allocation and mileageperformance of the various classes of equipment.5. I he disbursement accounting bureau audits pay¬rolls and vouchers and supervises the accounting formaterials and supplies.6. 1 he capital expenditures bureau audits construc¬tion expenditures and other matters in a measure re¬lated to disbursement accounting.7. 1 lie freight claims bureau investigates and ap¬proves or disapproves payments on claims made forloss or or damage to freight.8. The station accounting bureau has jurisdictionover the accounts maintained by local station forces.In addition to taking care of the special needs ofeach railroad, railway accounting in general is dictatedto a material extent by accounting classificationsprommulgated by the Interstate Commerce Commis¬sion and by so-called mandatory and optional ralesadopted by the Railway Accounting Officers’ Asso¬ciation to facilitate settlement between carriers.Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited.L.

Kent, youknow, is Northwestern’s coachThe prospects of a victory are thebrightest they have been this sea¬son. The Maroons defeated theWildcats on the Patten floor earlierin the season and the said Wildcatsseem to be no better now than theywere then, for as yet they have notchalked up a victory and the sea¬son is pretty well under way.The Wildcats will be out for theirfh’st win, the Maroons will be outto revenge a football defeat and soon, but it looks as if it will only bea mediocre game. The visitors havea stout one in Fisher, center, but therest of them are not at all foxy orclever.

It has been sometime since Chicago audiences hadthe opportunity to hear this placid,extensive work, dating from thedays when symphonies were sym¬phonies and lasted all night long.It was a worth while addition to theprogram, but a mood of constructivecriticism is upon me.Of the ten symphonies of Schu¬bert only the eighth and the tenthare performed.
