As these composethe bulk of the student seats it canreadily be seen that the great ma¬jority of the studens have not yetapplied for their tickets.However, besides these studenttickets, some twenty thousand seasonseats have been sold.

As a matter of fact theticket officials expect that there willbe no gate sales whatsoever for thethree big scrimmages, as judging bythe present rush for tickets for thesegames.

T osaythe least, the booting of the Crimsongridders is erratic. Of a large numberof possibilities, Harrell, Stephanson,Balay, and Magnabasco are the mostlikely to see service in the punting de¬partment, but none of these men haveperformed very consistently. Harrell, a junior and one of themost consistent ball heavers last year,stod out ahead of all others in accur¬ate and long passing by virtue ot hisshooting the ball fifty yards into thearms of the Hoosier ends.The Indiana outfit also needs quitea bit of experience. Ends need muchpractice in tackling. The tackles arenot working at all satisfactorily whilethe guards are not following the ballwell and seem nuable to smash playsas quickly as they should.Results of today’s tilts will go along way in determining the relativestrength of Chicago and Indiana. Thefirst opponents of the Maroons andHoosiers are expected to give theteams severe tests.

Edwin “Toad’’ Crofoot, slash¬ing, elusive pilot of the Badger eleven,will set out on the beginning of theend of his colorful football career a:Wisconsin. This will also be the las*chapter of the activities of GeorgeVon Bremer, valuable guard, on theCardinal gridiron. Both are bent onmaking this a capital year.Capt. Crofoot, quarterback; GeneRose, halfback, Von Bremer, guard;Rube Wagner, tackle; and John Wil¬son, center, constitute the quintet ofplayers who are certain to be in theBadger lineup when play starts to¬morrow. H. E. Rebholz, sophomorefullback, and George Hotchkiss, end,are also probable selections to starttomorrow at the kickoff.The balance of the Wisconsin squadwill not be known until game time,according to the desires of CoachThistlethwaite. But whatever the Car¬dinal team, it will be built solidly, forCornell is regarded in no weak light asan opening contender by the Badgers.Wisconsin’s major attention on theIowa team will focus particularly onCapt. Leland Wilson, all-western endand one of the most outstanding wing-men in these parts in tackling, block¬ing and offense.KARL LILLE PLAYSAT FOOTBALL MIXERFollowing the custom of time im¬memorial a football mixer is to beheld in the Reynolds club after thegae today. Karl Lille’s orchestra willprovide music for dancing, and refresh¬ments will be served. The mixer ispoen to all students of the Universityand of Oklahoma university.

Mendenhall, thacrack half of the freshman elevenlast fall, is expected to do big thingsin his first varsity game.

Improvement of the Year Book.THIS NEWSPAPER OF OURS'T'HE editorial column of The Daily Maroon will endeavor toA concentrate on the accomplishing of the nine points lrstecabove in The Platorm. As a journal of and by the students of theUniversity we are convinced that this institution would be moreeffective if the above listed principles were adhered to.From time to time we shall add new planks to the platform.The Daily Maroon is interested in the promotion of the Debateamong students. We believe that the athletic ideal has reached apoint where it is fast becoming an imposition on the Americancollege at the expense of scholastic competition. But those arematters to be taken up in detail later.The Friday Literary Supplement begun last year will be con¬tinued. Plans are to augment the section by several new features-low being arranged by the Literary Editor. On the Literary■iheet will appear theatrical comments, musical criticism on thesymphony concerts both in Mandel hall and downtown, book re¬views of current fiction, and a general featuristic column.It is with some regret that The Daily Maroon is unable tocontinue with George Morgenstern’s What Of It column whichbecame such a popular feature last year. The Daily Maroon’sex-columnist is now Managing Editor of The Phoenix, the campusjournal of so-called wit and humor.OUR COMPATRIOTSTN the room next door, a somewhat dyspeptic place of lean andlanguorous proportions, the lone typewriter that bears thename Phoenix, is giving berth to reams of ribbons of voluptuousspittle for the initial literary aberration of that publication. It iswith a not indelicate sensation of pleasure that The Daily Maroonlooks on (and with a paternal demeanor) at the resumption ofeditorial duty on Mr. Morgenstern’s rag. In fact we are glad thatour excolumnist’s publication is getting under way, mean, low, andvulgar though it is.THE WHISTLE BLOWSHowever, we might add that there is nothing scathingly vi¬cious about the Phoenix, nothing that will completely scourge thecampus. We learn (and it is mostly propogandaic rumor) thatthere are many surprises in store for us in the first out-poppingof the Phoenix. They tell us that its “tone” will be in tune withthe New Yorker (they seem to prefer the New Yorker to the Chi¬cagoan) and that its editorial policy will be Sophistication with acapial S.AND the football season opens throughout the nation.

Symphony Starts Season withConcert in Mandel *October 18By Donald G. WannerThe Chicago Symphony Orchestra,having emerged victorious from itsstruggle for a living wage through theaid of James G. Petrillo, is embark¬ing upon its 1927-28 season. Its firstappearance on the Chicago campus isset for Mandel hall on October 18.For the benefit of those who arenot acquainted with the work of theSymphony here, it might he well togive a short explanation. Throughthe agency of the University Orches¬tral association, an organizationformed solely for the purpose of en¬abling students and friends of theUniversity to hear orchestral andchandler music with as great conven¬ience as possible, the Orchestra is con¬ tracted annually for a series of con¬certs. At these concerts the entire en¬semble is present, being arranged onthe stage in Mandel Hall in the samemanner as is customary at OrchestraHall, the Chicago home of the sym¬phony. Tickets are made available tothe general public as well as to stu¬dents.This year the following dales havebeen set for the Symphony concerts:October 18, November 1 and 29, Jan¬uary 3 and 31, February 7 and 21 andApril 17. The concerts are on Tues¬day afternons and begin at 4:15.In addition to these, the Orchestralassociation has arranged three con¬certs by internationally famd(is musi¬cians. On December 6 Felix Salmond, cellist, will play. Elly Ney will givea piano recital on February 14.

Miller, curator of vette-brate paleontology in the Walker Mu¬seum at the University, and have beenbrought to the University for examin*ation and display. Chief among Mr.Miller’s finds are a teicheptus, aspecies of camel which has long beenextinct, a diceratheriane, which be¬longs to the rhinocerous family, frag¬ments of three-toed horse skeletonsand a collection of rodents and carn¬ivores.Spends Summer in NebraskaMr. Miller, who has just returnedto the University, spent the threesummer months swinging pick andshovel in the tertiar deposits near Har¬rison, Nebraska. These rock forma¬tions, according to paleontologists,wrere laid down in two general periods,the eligocene from five to ten mil¬lion years ago and the miecene, aboutthree million years ago. Thousands ofanimals skeletons, most of them nowextinct, remain in fossilized form inthis district but most of them areany hundred feet below the surface.Fossils UncoveredAt Van Tassel, Hat Creek Basinand Rawhide Ruttes, Wyoming, andat the Nebraska Agate Springs quar¬ry Miller uncovered dozens of thesefossils, mostly in fragments. Becauseof the care which must be used in sep¬arating the bones from the rock of REORGANIZED BANDSEEKS MATERIALUNDER MR. CLARKThe Old Man witnesses his thir¬ty-sixth Maroon team go into ac¬tion today, in the opening game ofthe hardest schedule he has everfaced.which they are a part, scientific in¬struments of great precision must beused. Instead of disecting the materialon the spot where he found it Millercut out the segment of rock whichcontained the fossil and shipped itwhole to t' e University for scientifictreatment. Almost a tor. of rock wasshipped.Trip Highly SuccessfulThis trip was Miller’s fifth to theWyoming district and was one of themost fruitful. In the early years hepacked his supplies on his back andprospected alone without mechanicalassistance. Now he travels in a Fordand carries his supplies and his fos¬sils in a trailer.Models of Miller’s finds will beplaced on display in Walker museumas they are extracted from the rock. Freshmen with musical experiencehave been warmly urged to try out forthe reorganized University band by itspresident, Ray Lussenhop. Mr. Pal¬mer Clark, head of the Cragun musicschool, is the new director recently ap¬pointed by President Max Mason.Mr. Clark at one time led the Chi¬cago Business Men’s orchestra andthe Woodlawn Comamndery band,Knights Templar, which is said to beone of the best in the fraternal organ¬ization. He succeeds Mr. M. EmmettWilson, who has left the Universityto take charge of an eighty-piece sym¬phony orchestra at Ohio state univer¬sity. Before Mr. Wilson’s departurea banquet was given by the band inhis honor at which he was pre¬sented with a silver-tipped ebony ba¬ton.New Places CreatedTwenty-five new places have beencreated as a result of permission giv¬en by the president’s office to raisethe number of players from fifty-fiveto eighty. This increase will assurefreshmen far greater chances of be¬coming members than they have hadbefore.Mr. Clark intends to inaugurate anew policy. He desires both to securegreater volume in playing an dto at¬tain augmented efficiency in marching.Plans are being formed to obtain anexperienced drill-master. Besides theappointment of a new director a newdrum-major has been chosen, EdwardNelson, who is preparing to intriguethe women of the campus as he strutsthe field and twirls his knobbed baton.This year twelve trombone playerswill compose the first rank in march¬ing order. The band also needs sev¬eral trombone and drum players, posi¬tions also open to freshmen.Money Allotment IncreasedBesides these changes the amount of money allotted to the band by theUniversity for repairing instrumentsand furnishing uniforms has been in¬creased appreciably.The band will not play at the gamewith Oklahoma today because Mr.Clark wishes to become well acquaint¬ed with his players before they comeout in public. Its first appearance willbe at the Indiana battle on Oct. 8.The first rehearsal will take place nextWednesday, Oct. 5, at 4:45. Fresh¬men interested in the band must ap-,ply for tests of their ability on nextMonday or Tuesday between 3:30 and4:30 at the band office, located on thesecond floor of the west stand at thestadium.Drum to Appear OftenThis fall the band’s bass drum,whose gigantic proportions have beenseen on the campus only once ortwice a year for a long time, will becarted about enthusiastically on themarches and will thunder many abooming challenge to invading teams.The band defies any other universityto produce such a drum. It measureseight feet in diameter, and was given,in addition to 124 other musical instru¬ments, to the University in 1923 byMr. C. D. Greenleaf, president of theConn Band Instrument company anda graduate of the University in 1898.Each piece, which is open to use byany member of the band, is of silver,gold-plated, and engraved with the in¬scription, “The University of ChicagoBand.”New Faces MayGrace Illini LineDespite Nine Vets(Continued from page 1)Other backfields prospects are Stues-j sy and Stewart, lettermen, GarlandGrange, Winsper.

Stagg has been invited to giVt-a talk, “Why he became a mason.” Big Ten Teams HoldInitial Tilts(Continued from page 1)to get a line on the Wolverine’s titlepossibilities for the present season.Minnesota, the chief aspirant forthe title now held jointly by North¬western and Michigan, is seriouslyconsidering North Dakota, and in¬tends to make a win doubly sure bystarting their strongest team againstthe Dakotans.Northwestern is none too sure ofits game with South Dakota. In¬juries have whittled down Hanley’ssquad to a mere handful, and fromthis the Purple coach has been try¬ing to whip a hard, fast fighting teaminto trim. South Dakota will playwith a vengeance for last year’s rec¬ord held but one defeat, and thatwas administered by the Northwest-erners.Ohio State, rated among thestrongest teams for this season, arecontemplating little trouble with theWittenberg outfit, and will probablyrun in as many reserves as possiblein order to get a line on their menfor the Iowa contest a week later.Purdue is likely to have a hard nutto crack in the DePauw outfit. CoachPhelan has been working his chargesovertime in order to prepare an an¬nually tough team.Although little is known of the ac¬tual strength of the Wisconsin outfit,it is thought to be an improvementover last year’s squal, and the Madi¬son rooters are expected to be sat¬isfied with an easy victory over theCornell eleven.STUDENTS!

D. Lucken-bill last June. Dr. Chiera is now ona Pennsylvania expedition in Meso¬potamia, but will assume his dutiesat the University in July, 1928.The dictionary project was con¬ceived by Dr. Breasted before thewar and first steps towards it weretaken in 1919. Mr. ^Rockefeller madean appropriation or $50,000, payablein five $10,000 annuities, for thispurpose. The Oriental Institute nowspends upwards of $250,000 for itsprojects in the Near East, of whichthe dictionary is one of the most im¬portant.Study Clay TabletsAssyrian records were made onwet clay with a reed stilus and hard¬ened in ovens or, in the case of thepoorer classes in the sun. This madewriting very inexpensive comparedto the Egyptian system, and as aresult the available material is fullof records of simple business tran¬sactions, informal letters, and cas¬ual social notes. Modern business isindebted to the Assyrians for thewhole idea of credit, and many ofour business formulas are evolvedfrom Assyrian customs.The work of Dr. Luckenbill, whichDr. Chiera will continue, consistedof making card files of every cunei¬form character every time it ap¬peared in an inscription, withenough of the context to show thefine shade of meaning in each case.At the time of his death, after al¬most eight years of work, Dr. Luck¬enbill had made a file of some 650, 000 characters. This is about two-thirds of the expected list. The com¬pilation of a complete list of char¬acters will require a number ofyears, probably a decade at least;but when finally issued the work willbe the first Babylonian-Assyrian dic¬tionary based on all known cunei¬form documents, and will representa great forward step in oriental re¬search.Headquarters in LuxorThe Egyptian headquarters of theOriental Institute are at Luxor, fromwhich the Epigraphic Expedition,making careful copies of temple wallinscriptions, and the Prehistoric Sur¬vey, investigating the history ofStone-age Man, operate. The CoffinText Project, which is for the copy¬ing of texts in the Egyptian Nation¬al Museum, has headquarters inCairo; and the Hittite Expedition,under the direction of Mr. H. H. Vander Osten, is uncovering very inter¬esting material concerning the originof the Greeks, long before theypossessed any writing. Some of thehero-kings of Homer are mentionedin the Hittite tablets, and even thename of Troy, long thought to be afiction, is found in these documentsfor the first time in a written source.Another Oriental Institute expedi¬tion is investigating the famous bat¬tleground of Armageddon, once thefortress-city of Palestine, the buffer-state between Egypt and Assyria.This tremendously interesting ma¬terial is almost untouched, the onlywork which has been done on it be¬ing a few trial shafts and explora¬tory trenches undertaken by a Ger¬man expedition almost thirty yearsago.If you want a home cookedmea leal at 5650 Ellis Ave.Price 40cMrs- Greenstein, Prop.UNIVERSITY LUNCH5706 Ellis Ave.Try Our Minute Service Lunch35cChop Suey & Chow MeinOur Specialty UNCLAIMED ANNUALSSOLD AT BOOKSTOREMany students who paid for their“Cap and Gown" last June, were,“Cap and Gown” last June and werefor one reason or another unable toclaim their copies.

Classes for freshmen jand upperclassmen alike will get in¬to swing Monday.Intelligence Test EventThe most important event of the |week was the intelligence test. Whenthe freshmen were told to “startwriting” by the monitors in chargeof the tests given Thursday, theywere started on an examinationwhich is being given to seventythousand college freshmen all overthe country. The test was devisedby Associate Professor Louis Thurs¬tone, psychologist at the University,and was adopted by the NationalCouncil on Education at Washing¬ton for use in the leading Americaninstitutions of higher learning.Test Declared AccurateThree years of use at the Univer¬sity have proved that the test is anaccurate measure of the freshman’sability to succeed in college. Only6 out of every hundred students whoare marked below 20 per cent on thetests succeed in college, while 90 outof every 100 who get 60 per cent orbetter on the test turn out to begood students.“The best definition of intelligenceyet offered by scientists,” said Pro¬fessor Thurstone, is the ‘capacity forabstraction.’ Our test is chiefly ameans of measuring the freshman’sability in abstracting and generaliz¬ing. It is a test of brightness. Ifthe freshman is fast and accurate inarithmetical reasoning, handling arti¬ficial languages, finding analogies ingeometric figures and answering ‘op¬posites’ tests he can be safely calledbright.Test* for Special Students“Some universities are now usingthese tests as a standard for admit¬ting special students. I am not infavor of using psychological tests asa sole criterion for admission; stu¬dents should not be admitted to col¬lege merely because they are bright.I do think that tests for brightnessare valuable to supplement highschool records in deciding whetheror not a person should be admitted !to college.”Professor Chauncey Boucher,Dean of the undergraduate colleges,said that all the college deans will |have access to the results of the ex- janimations, and will be able to give |their chaiges better advice on how jmuch work each can carry success- Ifully and what the reasons for fail¬ure are. This is part of the Univer- |sity’s plan for giving individualsmore personal advice. STAMBAUGH MAKESDEBUT MONEY ATCHICAGO THEATREIFormer Blackfriar Star ProvesSuccess In MovieTestsJohn Stambaugh, former Universitystudent and dramatic star of pastI Blackfriar and Tower Players per-j formances, and one of the ten collegemen chosen by the First National pic-I tures last spring in their nation-widesearch for the idealization of the col-I lege man, is to make his debut nextMonday, October 3. at the Chicagoj theatre, in “The Drop Kick” starringRichard Barthelmess.“The Drop Kick” is the first picturein which Stambaugh has taken a rolesince his start at the First Nationalstudios nearly four months ago, buthis work proved so attractive to themotion picture officials that he hasbeen offered a five year contract and achance to work in leading roles alongwith the Hollywood celebrities.When Stambaugh started his workon the First National set, there werenine other men with him who hadbeen picked by the motion picture of¬ficials for their exceptional “screenappearances’ and who had been of¬fered a ten week trial with all ex¬penses paid and a salary of fifty dol¬lars a week. Of the original ten, who,besides Stambaugh included JohnWestwood of Princeton; Stuart Knoxof Yale, Edward Karges and WarnerSmoot of North western; Thomas Den¬ton and Leland Wilcox of Michigan,C. D. Cassidy of Georgia Tech, JohnNorris of Purdue and Richard Cleng- enin of California, there remain at thestudio only Westwood and Stambaugh.The others returned home at the ex¬piration of their contract.The movie critics at the First Na¬tional studio have all been unanimousin their praise of Stambaugh’s work.According to an article that appearedin one of the western papers on thework of the “young Barrymore,”“Stambaugh was the least distin¬guished looking of the ten men butphotographed the best of them all.”When Stambaugh accepted the newcontract, he was immediately cast forone of the major roles in “Helen ofTroy,” John Erskine’s novel whichhas been made into a screen scenario■with Marie Corda and Lewis Stone asco-stars.Stambaugh has made a considerablename for himself outside of his workon the “lot,” as the motion picture setis known in cinema language. Thissummer his picture appeared in papersall the country as the winner of a foxtrot contest at the nationally famousCocoanut 4Jrove, the Los Angelesrendezvous of the film folk. He hasbeen entertained at the sumptuoushomes of movie celebrities, as well asbeing a guest at the horn of MiltonSills, also a formr University studentand, peculiarly, his fraternity brother.Mr. Sills having been initiated to Del¬ta Kappa Epsilon when he attendedhere.It can be said truthfully that Stam¬baugh owes at least part of his successto his dramati cwork at the Univer¬sity. He played in Blackfriars in ’23,’24, and ’26, and was very active in theDramatic Club and Tower Players,having been elected president of bothorganiaztions last year.

And we. With no more formality than briefexplanations of its purpose by Presi¬dent Glenn Frank and Dr. AlexanderMeiklejohn and assignment of the firstthree weeks’ work by Dr. Meiklejohn,120 university o fWisconsin freshmenand 11 faculty members opened theExperimental college, the state uni¬versity’s new “community of learn¬ing,’’ last week.Dr. Frank emphasized the fact thatExperimental college students willstudy situations rather than subjects,but also explained that its procedureswill not be “new.”Methods Are Old“I imagine,” he said, “that the cavemen learned by the same methods youare going to pursue. The plan is atleast as old as Socrates. It is the sameplan followed by any intelligent adultwhen he sets out o learn somethinghe needs to know.”He contrasted such a method oflearning with his own experience asan undergraduate.Former Systems mauequate“At 9 o’clock in the morning,” herecalled, “I studied fourth centuryhistory; at 10 o’clock, 19th centuryeconomics; at 11 oclock, 14th cen¬tury literature. I was emigrating eachhour from one to another of three air¬tight worlds, and I never did quitepiece them together.“I majored in history, but I wasshocked when the World war camein 1914 to find that I was unable toread war correspondence intelligently.In four weeks of burrowing intobooks, atlases and what not to find outwhat the war was about I learnedmore about Europe than in four yearsalways particular in matters tonsorial,are afraid that the Chicago boys aregoing to forget themselves and knockthose educated haircuts awry. So itis that we send this last-minute plead¬ing to the wearers of our Maroon—“You musn’t, boys, you musn’t! !”GEO-G. of majoring in history.“In other words, a coherent, dra¬matic situation captured by my inter¬est.To Study Situations“You are going to study situationsrather than subjects. First of all youare going to put the great period ofAthens on the table and, like the boywho takes the Ingersoll watch apartto see how it works you are going-tolearn how to understand this episodethis extremely important human sit¬uation.”Dr. Frank predicted that the Experi¬mental college work may seem easybecause the teachers will not harassthe students about details, but that italso will, at times, seem hard, becausethe teachers will not do the thinkingfor the students.Staff Becomes AdvisorsDr. Meiklejohn told the studentsthat the members of the teaching staffwished to be regarded as advisors.“That term indicates the relation wewish to prevail between you and us,”he said. “We want you to learn to usefreedom, independence, and self-direc¬tion in study. We would like to haveyou learn to do the things we try todo—to study. We want you to learnto read the books we read, to readthem with us. What the American col¬lege usually uscceeds in doing is toget students to read the books theprofessors write—a terrible come¬down.”Assignment Provides StartThe assignment for the first threeweeks will provide a start in gettingacquainted with the period of civiliza¬tion chosen for the first year’s studyin the Experimental college. Dr. Meik¬lejohn explained. It is to become fa¬miliar with the great speech of Per¬icles as recorded in the writings ofthe historian, Thucydides; to read thefour dialogues of Plato describing Soc¬rates, and*' to read some of the greatGreek plays.Such a program is interned to bethe beginning of a “liberal” education.
