UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, WEDNESDAY, MAY 4, 1927WHAT Of IT?ycosge MORGENST6RR[ walked into the Maroon office last„iirht at precisely five minutes pastcijilit. removed my coat, and sat downat a typewriter. “With industry,” Ithought, “I shall have my column donein an hour or so. Then I shall retire toniv top floor sanctuary in Hitchcockami study for those two midterms.”And 1 smiled, or rather, I started toSI11j|e. But when 1 recollected thatwork was to occupy the whole evening1 -.topped smiling; for work chafes me.i looked intently at the typewriterl<i vs. They were all there—all twenty-ms letters and the asterisks and what¬not. I looked at them some more,and they still seemed inclined to staywhere they were. So I kept on look¬ing at them, and thought: “I shallwrite about the scholarship interscho¬lastic, or putting a post-office on thecampus, or some other laudable thing.I .-hall, be quite serious, like they aredown at Yale. More, I shall be quitesolid, like they are on the debatingteam. And I shall, as I say, go overto Hitchcock afterwards inhaling andexhaling regularly, and do man’s work,,n those two exams. Ah, I shall dothese things, and in doing them, reg¬ularly and methodically, 1 shall nothe disappointed with myself, or accusemyself I of slovenliness or procrastina¬tion or laziness or afiy of those othervices that customarily plague me. Yes--ir, I shall be spiritually content, for achangej” ** * *At that moment a fellow walked in.I did not look up. “Let’s go for awalk," he said. “Sam,” I said, “goaway; you do me no good.” “It‘s anice night/ he said. “Sam.” I repliedfirmly, “you are the canker in my life.But for you I would get things done.”“Spring’s here," he said; “you shouldsniff that air once.” “Sam . . .,” I be¬gan, but I put on my coat instead offinishing. “You are right, Sam," 1said. "We are or.ly young once. More-over, we are only twenty once. Furth¬ermore, spring comes but once whenwe are twenty. Carpe diem, carperosa, and all that sort of business. Letti- stroll forth. Sam.” Sam began toquote:“Sweet to go forth at eventide,When shadows ride gigantic on thesand,And softly from the distance beat thebellsAlong the Golden Road to Samar-eand.”“I don’t think you’re quoting thatquite right. Sam,” I said. “Perhapsno.t” said Sam, “but the Sentimentholds.” '* * *Subsequently I discovered we hadbeen strolling about for an hour or so.“It is a plain truth.” I said, “that we:»re driveling our lives away. It is aplainer one that we have always doneso. It seems to be just as plain a>iie that we always shall. We never-ret anything done. Moreover, we are-o busy driveling our lives away doingnothing that we scarcely have time tolo nothing as it should be done. Weg(» wagging around avoiding suchkings as are classified under Trusts,md Duties, and Obligations. We justlo nothing. We are worthless. Andue get very tired in our business ofloing nothing at all. We are tired'lien we eat, when we sit, when we"alk, when we talk. We go to bed latemd get up tired the next morning.I he next night we get to bed still lateroid get up more tired. We are co.;-inually catching ourselves going asve are coming. We are always over-apping ourselves, until some time weluite complete the cycle, and areapped so often that we drop out ofhe race for good. Then we are laidn a pine box, and it’s all over. Allhis is the result of doing nothing, andloing it always. It’s a more strenu-'us life than Mr. Roosevelt’s Strenu¬ous Life. It’s a great evil.” “Yes,”‘aid Sam. And then he summed upiis whole philosophy and my wholephilosophy in one sentence. “But it’s?ood to goof the dog.” STAGE AND SCREEN STARS ATTEND HOPMIDDLE WESTERN Dr. Kunde Finds New Factor inMEN OF SCIENCECONVENEMAY 27Meet on Campus ForTwo Day RegionalConventionMen of science in the Middle Westwill gather at the UniversityMay 27 for a two-day regionalmeeting under the auspices of the Chi¬cago Section of the American Chemi¬cal Society, of which Dr. Paul Nich¬olas Leech of 535 North DearbornStreet is chairman.Universities, industries and stateservices in Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa,Missouri, Nebraska, Minnesota andIndiana will send scores of chemiststo report the results of research inmany fields of chemical science.Bestow AwardHuman welfare will be the keynoteof the gathering, at which the \ViI-lard Gibbs Medal will be formally be¬stowed upon Prof. J.

W. Williams, a sophomore med¬ical student at the University.Experiments with young rabbitsand rats showed that the removal ofthe thyroid gland invariably meant the development of rickets, and thatif the proper food and hygiene arepresent, the administering of thyroidhormone will prevent the apeparanceof the condition.The discovery is of particular im¬portance in the Great Lakes regionwhere there is a tendency towardhypofunction of the thyroid gland.Dr. Anton J.

A Post-Office on the Campus.THE SOPHOMORE MIXERRIDAY the flower of some thirty surrounding high schoolsare in for three hours of toiling and spinning at the “in¬terscholastic scholarship examinations,” a luncheon at Bartlett,and, what's better yet, a mixer at Ida Noyes. The mixer at IdaNoyes is the innovation.The sophomore class council wanted to throw a mixer andnailed a red-letter day to do it. The high school youth getsenough of examinations and luncheons around the home dig¬gings, but a college mixer is not to be sneezed at.If there was one place where we expected to find the col¬legiate spirit when we came up fresh, so to speak, from highschool, it was the college mixer. And there, oddly enough, wefound it. There, if any place, it is.And so we’ll trek to the mixer Friday and give the youngfolks a treat. When they see how collegiate we really are, someof them will come around again, scholarships or no.FOR ADULTS ONLY Still setting the style pace, aren t you? Glad 1 tn not the parent who paysand pays and pays.Ah, that s the point. It s an P.rskint Six and economy is its secret passion.Don’t *udge its cost by its appearance."LATE in the career of the male undergraduate who has notventured in athletics comes a ray of hope; we refer to theannual senior mustache race. This is the last chance for theambitious young thing to prove himself a man, not a boy; it isalmost the last chance to gain local distinction.The Daily Maroon advises all those who have any signs ofhair on their upper lips to enter the great annual race. Thereis no booby prize, so those who fail lamentably need not beafraid of unpleasant publicity. The reward of success is greatif transient fame—we cannot offhand remember the name oflast spring’s victor—so that it’s the old and never refuted caseof easy success.Report to the C Bench tomorrow and enter the competition.You deserve to have your four years on the campus marked bysome outstanding achievement.ITS STILL SPRING'T'HIS is the time of the year when things happen.This is the season of polite politics, when candidates foroffices smile sweetly at each other, when the occasional conscien¬tious rounder cries, “What a hell of a year this was,” when theprobation hound realizes that its going to take just’so manygrade points to permit him to return to school next year—thetime when apples begin to get mealy.Most of these funny things make people think of the fun¬nier things they’ve been doing all year, but what of it? The lazyfeeling that collegiate inactivity inspires is comfortable. Evenmore comfortable when one is only a Sophomore and appreci¬ates the fact that he has two whole years of inactivity ahead.Admissions like these cause H. G. Wells and William RandolphHearst to attack the colleges through Mr. Hearst’s chain offorty-seven syndicated newspapers. But we like laziness in thespringtime. We enjoy inactivity and Mr. Wells is in Englandand we really don’t care where Mr. Hearst is so long as hisnewspapers continue to run false science stories about our pro¬fessors.

Has the United States a distin¬guished kicked-out-of-college list?Oxford today reveres the memory oiShelley, John Locke, William Penn,Edward Gibbon and Walter SavageLander. Yet these men were suchunruly undergraduates that theywere all expelled from the university,charged with such crimes as sedition,atheism, duel fighting and man¬slaughter. Has this country a com¬parable list?There was, of course, the near ex¬pulsion of John Fiske from Harvardin 1861. Young Fiske was one of thefirst to be stirred in America by theDarwinian discoveries. The facultywas frightened at this serious andexceptionally well read sophomore.And they finally got something onhim. He was observed reading froma volume of Comte in church andwas swiftly summoned for punish¬ment. Taken before the faculty hewas charged with disseminating in¬fidelity among the students and with“gross misconduct” at church. Fiskedenied the former allegation and ad¬mitted the later. Although severalfaculty members wanted to suspendhim for a year he was let off with a‘public admonition.” James MacNeillWhistler, like Poe before him, was ex¬pelled from West Point for poorscholarship. In his third year hewas found deficient in chemistry.One Colonel Lamed gives the fol-lojving account of th» incident:Whistler Di opped“Whistler said: ‘Had silicon beena gas, I would have been a MajorGeneral.’ He was called up for examination on the subject of chemistry. . . . When called upon to recitehe started: ‘I am required to dis¬cuss the subject of silicon. Siliconis a gas.’ ‘That will do, Mr. Whist¬ler,’ and he retired quickly to privatelife.”With them should be classedStephen Crane, Thomas Beer has thisto say of Crane’s year at the Uni¬versity of Syracuse: “He lounged atSyracuse in the back room of a res¬taurant and other freshmen wero im¬pressed by a classmate who soldsketches to The Detroit Free Pressand who assured them that the policecourt was the most interesting placein Syracuse. He got notice from thefaculty by telling a professor thathe disagreed with Saint Paul’s theoryof sin and seriously shocked the wifeof another authority by declining tomeet Mrs. Willard at her for the rea¬son that he thought Mrs. Willard afool. ... As for college, it was adamned nuisance and he was glad tohave done with all things academicin June.”One year was aTT that TheodoreDreiser needed of the University ofIndiana. He was not known throughscholarly ability or athletic prowess,W. M. Toner wrote in The New Stu¬dent December 19, 1925. He was astudent here then, but he was notknown through scholarly ability or athletic prowess. He plodded throughhis first year, then left, consciousonly of an acute inapprehension con¬cerning the polite usages of educa¬tion in our factory of knowledge.His particular fire of intellectualpower could only grow brilliantunder the bellows of personal tute¬lage. As it was, this fire only smoul¬dered under the cramping exigenciesof the class room in the pursuit ofa particular formula.Eugene O’Neill was expelled fromPrinceton at the end of his freshmanyear for a trifling offense. He mighthave returned in a year, but he wasbusy experiencing a world whosereverbrations never penetrate theprecincts of a rural campus. Yearsafterward he learned to transmutehis stock of raw experience in thefoc’sle of tramp steamers on a goldhunting expedition in Honduras intoplays as a student in ProfessorGeorge P. Baker’s famous ’47 Work¬shop, then at Harvard.Lewis ReturnsSinclair Lewis, too, left college toreturn later.

Capt. Collins is one of the mostconsistent players in the conference,while Phillips, Junior, who ranks asNo. 1 on the team will in all probabil¬ity take his match in the singles al¬though the doubles should be muchcloser.If Chicago wins today, they will'tand high in the percentage column,and their stock will be boosted for theannual Big Ten tournament which isheld here every year.

The first one follows.By Dr. Walter E. MeanwellThe restriction to one bounce doesnot seriously handicap the offense.When the ball reaches a point withintwenty-five feet of the basket it canbe one-bounced or a short shot bythe man in possession of the ballwithout difficulty. This conserves thevalue of the old dribble play. Ateam is not obliged, therefore, to al¬ways pass the ball to the basket.This fact I was much surprised atand I felt that offensive play mustbe by passing right up to the goal ifa short shot was to be made.Betas vs. A.

My conclusion, therefore, is thatthe chief legitimate value of thedribble, namely, enabling a man tofeint through the guard and getto the basket with the mall fromtwenty and thirty feet out, is re¬tained. Again, I state that I amsurprised how little the restrictionto one bounce really handicaps theoffense, when in legitimate scoringterritory.TOWER’SFISH BRAND VARSITY SUCKERSThe most stylish and practical rainy daygarments for college men and women.Ask for Fish Brand Varietu ofSlickers by Name Styles and ColorsThe Genuine "Waterproof Oiled Ierproor uClothing 'fc/IBRAJ®A.

They lostanother, the Illinois game, a weekago today on de-merits and it ishoped that their merits will pullthem through in this afternoon’s con¬test.The said merits should consistmainly of the hitting strength andfielding support of the Maroonmen.In pitching power the Wildcatsshould have a slight edge with eitheror both of the veterans, Palmer andmills, on the mound. Kaplan, whowill probably get the call from Cris¬ler, is still lacking in experience, al¬though he got loads of it in the hec¬tic five innings which he saw at Illi¬nois. Should Macklind do the twirl¬ing it is hoped that he can start inwhere he left off at Indiana Satur¬day when he won his game and al¬lowed only one score in the last eightinnings.Besides the two pitchers, CoachKent has one outfielder, Janetz, andCaptain Solheim, second baseman,and Johnsos, short-stop, returningfrom last year’s team. Janetz andJohnsos have proved a power atwielding the bat this year and to-Igether with Vanderburg, rookiecatcher, constitute a menacing trioto opposing pitchers. However, theMaroon showing in this departmentof the game should more than offsetany real danger. Not only the vet¬erans McConnell, Macklind, Ander¬son, Brignall, and Webster have rep¬utations to uphold as good hitters,but the new men, Hoerger, Gordon,Price and Priess are all showing wellin that department.OHIO STATE ALSOHAS CAGEMEN OUTAnother Big Ten school.
