OCTOBER 25. 1927 Von Ammon,Hayes, and Rouseare Senior choices.Price Five CentsMain StreetBy Milton S. MayerAll hail William Hale Thompson,cowpuncher, sportsman, blueblood,Step-Father of His Country, Prideand Prejudice of Our hair City,One on the Side of God, Friend ofthe Right and Foe of the Wrong,Apostle of the Four Square Life,Builder of Link Bridges and Muni¬cipal Piers, Man of Honor and Guar¬dian of Civic Virtue!Somewhere back in the year ofthe big wind, your correspondent(as the Selma, Alabama, Times-Journal would say) saw the writingon the wall, and prophesied that thePublic, in its infinite wisdom, wouldlandslide Big Bill into office. Well,came the first Tuesday in April,and then the deluge. Those of uswho remember the Maine will rem¬inisce for years to come on thatnight of nights when a majority ofeighty thousand (bounded by Cot¬tage Grove and State Street,Twelfth Street and Thirty-fifthStreet) officially posted the “Openfor Business” placard on every sa¬loon, house of prostitution, andgambling joint that was not alreadyflourishing in these parts. It was agreat night. Righteousness andBourbon flowed in a perrenialstream. Solid citizens reeled out ofthe Sherman House until dawn toclasp the fat hand of the People’sChoice. The Man Who Came Backwas on the throne! In a week thesmoke had cleared away, and HisHonor donned the cope and mitreand gathered unto him a council ofthe wise. That, as I have said, wasin April.o : o : oThis, my friends is October. Fromthe cloistered halls of knowledge,where a thousand candles shed wis¬dom and justice, comes a clamor ofarms and men.' The drawbridge isdrawn up. The guns are manned.Paul Revere, his sombrero on hishead, is on the corner of State andMadison Streets. The enemy re¬cruited from the Public Library,the Public Schools, the Universityof Chicago, are storming the gates.THE BRITISH ARE COMING. Hisear to the ground. Big Bill hearsthe tramp-tramp of marching men—Redcoats. His eye peering overthe horizon, he sees George V rid¬ing in pomp and circumstancethrough the streets and flogging iwomen and children who have notlearned the significance of “Dieu etMon Droit.” His fingers on the na¬tional pulse, he feels the savour ofremorse in the hearts of his peopleas they stand in line before theBank of England (LaSalle and VanBuren Street branch) changing theirtwo bits into shillings, their fivespots into pounds. Fabius repulsedHannibal, Drake repulsed the Ar¬mada, Horatius repulsed Tarquin,Thompson can repulse King George!A second Patrick Henry, I arise inthe House of Burgesses and cry:“Caesar had his Brutus! CharlesII had his Cromwell! And George Vmay profit by their example!”o : o : oI am no sage or seer. None ofus is. I do not know anything aboutpolitics. None of us does. I haveno remedies for an aching world.None of us has. But when a manany-man, shakes his own gory locksat my Alma Mater, the Fair Moth¬er that conceived and bore my ownmind and soul and the mind andsouls of so many worthier thousands| am ready to fight. When a man,any man, points his own crookedfinger at my Alma Mater, in theshadow of whose trees and towersI, and so many worthier thousands,have let the glories of youth slipaway, and bellows, “Traitor!” I amproddled to militancy. When a manany man, throws his own soiledglove in the face of the masters, ofwhose noble feeling and energeticintellect I, and so many worthierthousands, have partaken, I protestwith the strength of ten. Mr.Thompson’s case is self-evident, Ithink. He has embarked on onecampaign in which a majority votesimply no go CLASSES NOMINATE CANDIDATESANGELL TO TALKAT CONVOCATIONON OCTOBER 31Medical Buildings To BeDedicated In TwoDay ProgramDedication of the new $3,500,000Billings medical group, and the 148thconvocation of the University, will beincorporated into a two-day program,beginning October 31.Convocation exercises will take placeon Monday, with James Rowland Ari-gell, president of Yale, delivering themain address on the topic, “Medicineand the University.” Departmentalassemblies will be held in the after¬noon, with talks by W.

It is our personal feeling thatthe University is attempting to ex¬ercise control where control is notonly needed but where it would bea positive hindrance to the success¬ful running of fraternities. It is afact that due to certain peculiarconditions which exist at Chicago,fraternities are forced to operatefor whole quarters here on an un¬sound financial basis. Membershipflucuates tremendously, and withthis fluctuation comes a correspond¬ing fluctuation in income. Somefraternities are forced for shortperiods of time to operate at a posi¬tive loss, and bills which are longoverdue simply can not be paid. Ifa monthly report were required toa student auditor, the auditor wouldnaturally take action in a case ofthis kind (if he did not do this,of what value would he be?) Thisaction, however, would be of itselfunnecessary and unfair. Merchantshave had dealings with fraternitiesbefore, they trust fraternities. Theyknow they will get their money as Noyes hall, 7:30 P. M. AssociateProfessor Albert E. Haydon.The Scandinavian club, Ida Noyeshall, 7:45.soon as it is able to be paid them.In the meantime, the particular frat¬ernity which was operating at aloss, would have a better quarterand be able to put its finances ona sound footing again. From timeimmemorial fraternities have runon this basis. They are composed ofhonest men.Mason PresidesAt Conference(Continued from page 1)dell hall will be presided over byThomas E. Wilson, chairman of theInstitute Plan Commission of the In¬stitute of American Meat Packers.Re-assemble at TwoH. H. Rice, assistant to the presi¬dent of the General Motors Corpora¬tion, and Rudolph Spreckles, presi¬dent of the Federal Sugar RefiningCompany, will speak at this session on“The Automobile Industries” and“The Sugar Industry,” respectively.We suppose that this new requirement was started becauseof the fact that certain bills, falling past due at fraternity houseshave at times been proffered to the University for settlement. Thebelief that fraternity treasurers were apt to be too young andinexperienced to be left in complete control of their fianancesmay also have entered in.Be that as it may, we feel that there are more importantfacts—facts which perhaps may not have been considered.To begin with, the majority of, if not all of fraternitiesare required to submit reports to their national offices regardingthe financial status of their chapters. These reports are givencareful consideration and any irregularities are carefully notedand the chapters are notified. Moreover, either a quarterly ora yearly auditing of the books by an authorized accountant is inmost cases required. In this way a careful check is kept on thebusiness operations of the various chapters by men who are cer¬tainly competent to exercise this check.Besides this, there is the fact that fraternity treasurers areat the present time so overburdened with work of one kind or an-oher that any more reports to make and duties to perform wouldbe apt to interfere materially with studies. This is especially truein houses where the treasurer and steward are the same person.Then, in regard to the furnishing of a budget. The makingof a definite budget for a year or even a quarter has been prov¬en time and again to be practically a waste of time for a frater¬nity, especially at the University of Chicago for the more or lessobvious reason that it is impossible to estimate either the amountof money which will come in or the amount which must be spent.As to income, there Is a more or less definite amount which issupposed to come in but whether or not it is collectable is a dif¬ferent matter. There are times when a fraternity deems it ad¬visable to defer a bill from one year to the next. With conditionssuch as this a budget is practically of no value to a fraternity be- THE SHANTYj£ v is servingex* An attractive, wholesomedinner every evening^ for 50c.Other Dinners 65c and 75cTHE SHANTY EATSHOP1309 East 57th StreetDIRIGOLDsolves your Gift Problem.Beautiful as fine gold—durable as good steel.Vases, trays, bowls, candlesticks, letter-open¬ers, child’s sets.May be shipped anywhere without risk ofbreakage.Your ExpensesYou may earn all or part of your expenses byselling Dirigold in spare time.

Michigan has aslight edge in the matter of pointsbut outside of the Wolverines, theonly one of Chicago’s opponentsthat remains undefeated are Zup-pke’s Illini who have, however, play¬ed only one conference game as yet.Wsiconsin has lost one game andOhio has twice tasted the dregs ofdefeat already. Indiana and Purdueare but sweet memories and arehopelessly out of the running.Help MaroonsThe result of last Saturday’sgames were very favorable to theMaroon’s chances though the Stagg-men played a non-Conference gamewith the Quakers. Illinois, which isreputed to have a rather mediocreteam managed to squelch the sup¬posedly powerful Purple aggrega¬tion out at Evanston by a 7 to 6score. This was a lucky break forChicago because Northwestern hasalready finished the hardest part oiher schedule and stands to clean upthe west.Michigan StrongThe Wolverines though now Chi¬cago’s strongest rival, helped some¬what by overwhelming the Buck¬eyes, the Maroons’ next opponent,by a 21 to 0 avalanche. This com¬pletely eliminates Ohio as title con¬tenders though it does not insure theresult of next Saturday’s game.The Badgers who were pushed un¬der in the first encounter by theMichigan eleven proceeded to showsome real football ability by beatingPurdue which has been the biggestblowup in the conference by a scoreof 12 to 6.Judging by the showing of theMaroon team on the last three Sat¬urdays and the standing of its fu¬ture opponents Michigan is the onlyschool that should cause any trepi¬dation along the Midway.Minnesota is in a very good posi¬tion to win the title should Michigandefeat Illinois. By Vic Roteru#Last Saturday afternoon was, Iam quite sure, a perfect Saturdayafternoon around this immediate lo¬cality—that is, a perfect Saturdayafternoon in a football way, for theMaroons finally spanked Pennsyl¬vania and Illinois caused the overlybright Purple on the north shoreto take on a paler hue. Six timesMaroon gridders of yore went tobed on Friday nights dreaming thaton the morrow the Maroon wouldtriumph and that the heart of theOld Man would be gladdened; but,until last Saturday, such wai notthe case. During the last few yearsthe Maroons and the Old Man havestood quite a bit of censure fromthe press, LaSalle Street, and fromothers who have assimhated enoughauthority from witnessing one, two,or three football games to pass onthe methods of some who have beendirectly connected with the sportfor some decades; but this seasonfrom all indications, A. A. Staggand his fellows are having their inn¬ings.* * *Although the work of the Ma¬roon line, the work of McDonoughand Anderson on the defensive, andthe work of Lenzner, end and num¬ber 7 of Penn, were all outstandingduring the game. The good play ofKen Rouse, center and captain ofthe Maroons, was even noticeable tothe average spectators who usuallydoes not appreciate the duties ofa lineman. He played his best gameof the season, smearing Penn’srather ragged offense repeatedlyand with the aid of Weaver pushingthe Penn linemen back and some¬times aside for the convenience ofany of the Maroon backs who hap¬pened to be around there with theball. And there is only one centerin the conference who could playthe position of center better thanKen Rouse had been playing it pre¬vious to Saturday, and that gentle¬man is no other than Ken Rousehimself.* * *I was, for one, very much disap¬pointed with the Penn offensive. Ihad been led to expect much moreof it. Perhaps, the Penn State de¬feat, the absence of Paul Scull, andthe fact that an all-week rain ham¬pered practice on Franklin field ac¬counted somewhat for the ratherlistless play of the Quakers. Butthey did function raggedly, and asfor the hidden ball plays, the onlyones to be fooled by them were thespectators on the other end of theUNIVERSITY LUNCH5706 Ellis Ave.Try Our Minute Service Lunch35cChop Suey & Chow MeinOur SpecialtyWELLS SWEET SHOP1425 E. 60th StreetAt the Corner of BlackstoneThe place to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Chi¬cago’s poor showing can, in part, heaccounted for by the slow start theyusually get in track events, caused hvthe late opening of school. If Wil¬liams had not been injured, the localthinly-clads without doubt would havemade a better showing. The orderin which the Chicago men finishedwas: Jackson. Berndtson, Dystrup andWilliams.Start WorkDespite the difficulties under whichthe team is working, the hoys havestarted extensive training for theirnext meet. Captain Jackson hopes toput a team on the track which will berated as dangerous in the conference.This is something which Chicago hasnot had for many years.

It is to be re¬gretted that that corps has not con¬tinued. Tarpoon club, beginning thisquarter, will sponsor its re-establish¬ment. We expect to have a corps or¬ganized before the end of the quarter.“Ten members are necessary beforeth corps can be organized. Alreadythere are seven Tarpon members whohold Red Cross Life Saving certif¬icates.

But, nevertheless, theMaroons should worry these teamsand their teachers more than a lit¬tle when they meet informally forsome afternoon football. Urbana, Ill.—Michigan, homecom¬ing opponent for the University ofIllinois in the stadium Saturday, hasa penchant for stadium dedicationgames. Last Saturday the Wolver¬ines dedicated their own new foot¬ball plant. Other stadiums dedicat¬ed by games in which the Wolver¬ines played include Ohio State’s,Michigan State’s and Illinois.Two candidates for All-Americanhonors will captain the elevens inthe Illinois-Michigan homecominggame at Illinois Saturday. CaptainBennie Oosterbaan of the Wolver¬ines has been an All-American endfor two seasons and is likely to re¬peat. Captain Bob Reitsch, Illinileader, is a leading western candi¬date for All-American center.Keep Dry and Comfortabler inGenuine\ \ v \ \A. J. TOWER CQ BOSTON._ . .... . v , . . . / ; ...

TO BE IN SHAPEFOR OHIO GAMEWOMEN CHOOSESPORT CAPTAINS Libby, Proudfoot In Form;Spence’s Condition IsNot SeriousEleven Captain Ball TeamsElect LeadersEleven women’s captain-ballteams chose their captains on lastThursday. The annual eliminationtournament will begin soon.Frances Holmes will captain the“Bad News” and Ruth Messe the“Fed Flashes” in the 9 o’clockclass. In the class at 10 MiriamAlexander will lead the “Grasshop¬pers” and Josephine Lanyon the“Zippers.” The 11 o’clock class isdivided into three teams. DorothyDavis leads the “Whippets,” LoisKetcham the “Polka Dots” and LoisMoe the “Frogs.”Peggy Russell and Ruth Strinewere elected captains of the “Yel¬low Jackets” and “Purple Pretzels”respectively, in the 2:30 class.The “Bouncers” of the 3:30 sec¬tion will play under the leadershipof Ruth Budd, and the “Whippets”of that class will be in charge ofHilda Kincaid. Chicago’s convincing victory overPensylvania and the results of thefour big ten conference strugglesSaturday is definitely shaping the ti¬tular race. Michigan and Chicagowent into a tie for first place, whichwill either be broken or maintainedwhen the Maroons tangle with theOhio State squad and Michiganmeets up with Bob Zuppe’s Illiniwarriors.Spence HurtThe team came out of the Pennscrap in good shape. Spence, end,received a peculiar injury last Sat¬urday which has rendered him in¬capable of indulging in any pro¬tracted workouts. The agile wingman was hit on the back of hisspine and his nerve center tempor¬arily paralyzed. For a while, Spencewas practically out of his mind butunder the skillful treatment' of themedics he has practically come to.Libby, Proudfoot In ShapeOf the other injuries, Libby andProudfoot are expected to be readyfor the Ohio tilt. Weislow wasslightly injured Saturday but willreturn to the team either today ortomorrow. The rest of the squadshowed up in good condition yester¬day when they reported for practiceand with the ailing members round¬ing into shape, Coach Stagg willhave his entire team intact whenthey entrain for Columbus.Work An OffenseThat the “Old Man” views Satur¬day’s battle seriously despite OhioState’s poor showing in its last twoconference games, is evidenced fromthe long signal drill the Maroonswent through yesterday. The Chi¬cago mentor gave his charges plentyof plays against Penn but theyglaringly displayed weaknesses inthe use of them, for on several oc¬casions the baekfield mixed their sig¬nals and the runner nailed for a lossof several yards.STETSONHATS,StyledJoryouncj 3CenxiLUthorities in dress are directing men’s atten¬tion a little more toward formal shapes in softhats.

As he should then knowenough for geenral purposes, heshould begin to specialize. At th:s point the more individual guidance ordirection becomes more beneficial.“In the far future, perhaps, we maydo away with the quarterly examina¬tions, perhaps even in these days, thecredit marks, the required reading, andthe lectures.
