JANUARY 5, 1928NATIONAL PREPCAGE TOURNEYSAFE FOR YIARBoard May EliminateFamous Meet InFutureThe University’s national basket¬ball interscholastic tournament, oneof the country’s greatest athleticevents, is safe for this year at least.Coach H. O. Crisler, manager of thetournament said last night followinga conference with C. VV. Whitten,national representative of the Na¬tional Federation of State HighSchool .Athletic Associations. Thisyear’s tournament will be held April3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.Hold Vote SoonThe proposal to abolish the tourna¬ment. so far as members of the na¬tional federation is concerned, willcome up at that association’s annualmeeting on Feb. 27 in Boston. Ifadopted, it will affect tournamentsafter this year, but will not be ineffect this season.“The recommendation to abolishthe tournament was voted at a meet¬ing of about fifteen representativesof Middle-Western state associationsin Chicago at the time of the con-feernce meeting, “Crisler said yes¬terday, “the proposal will be dis¬cussed at the national meeting.Three Objection*“Objections to the tournament areba.sed on the pyhsical strain on theplayers; loss of school time, and theeffect on the student bodies. So faras the first objection is concerned,we feel that the national tournamentis less of a strain than the statetournament. In our meet, each teamgets twenty-four hour rests betweengames, e.xcept for the finalists, whichmust play two games on the final day.In some states it is not uncommonfor a team to play as much as threegames in eight hours.

Professors GiveViews ConcerningColloquialisms“.Aren’t I?” “Ain’t I?” or “Am Inot?”Prof. Samuel Moore of the Uni¬versity of Michigan favors the first.In spite of his desire to say the sec¬ond he is unable to an account ofhis academic upbringing, and histongue and lips will not permit himto say the last, even though thepurists rage when they hear of this.Professor George W, Sherburn andAssistant Professor Frank HurburtO’Hara of the English department ofthe University agree in a way withProf, Moore. Prof. Sherburn says,“As far as talking goes one musttalk a little better than the averageperson or he will be regarded bythat person as intellectually inferiorto him. You could never say ‘ain’t’when among certain types of peo¬ple. You could say ‘ain’t’ to me andI would not object. ‘Aren’t’ alwayswas a polite contraction of “am notI.’ Saying ‘ain’t’ i.s normally not aquestion of grammar. It is a matterof not being the lowest low„-brow inthe crowd. ‘Ain’t’ is simply inelegantnot ungrammatical.”O’Hara T^kes Liberal ViewProf. O’Hara is rather liberal inhis view of the questicin. He says,“Language is a living thing, and liv¬ing things are changing things.(Continued on page 4)Miriam Snett WinsPrize for GreatestXmas Edition SalesMiriam Snett, a sophomore, wonthe prize of ten dollars which wasoffered by the Circulation depart¬ment of The Daily Maroon to thewoman by selling 160 copies of theChristmas edition.For the special edition, 2000 copieswere printed of which 1700 were soldon campus.Debating Union President DeliversRadio Talk on Speech Psycholgy“In speaking, every term andthought must fit the intellectual andexperienced background of the list¬ener,” stated George B. Pidot, assist¬ant instructor of public speaking andpresident of the Debating union ofthe Univjersity, in a radio talk madeover station WMAQ Tuesday night,on “The Psychology of Public Speak¬ing.”“To understand a given utterancean audience must interpret thisthought in terms of its own experi¬ence. Therefore a speaker mustmake every effort to use materialthat comes directly within the ex¬perience of the listener,” declaredPidot, as the main point of his talkin which he outlined the aims of thenew methods of public speaking asopposed to the old formal style. “Formal aspects such as deport¬ment, grammar and diction are im¬portant, but they should never standin the way of communicative, wellprojected and evaluated conversa¬tional speaking. Public speaking isnothing but heightened conversation,and is a problem of mental contact.”Emphasis was placed by the speak¬er on the selection of material andits arrangement psychologically rath¬er than rhetorically and logically.Acting on this basis Pidot gave somedefinite principles in each field ofthe speaking problem, that might as¬sist the speaker in getting material.He also commented on the fact thatjust as there is no “royal road toeducation” similarly there are nogracious talents to effective speak-jng^ .A crop of over one hundred let¬ters has been reaped by AssociateProfessor W. H, Burton of the de¬partment of Education, in responseto comment made by him in “TheVoice of the People” of The ChicagoTribune, Dec. 19, upon Superintend¬ent of Schools William McAndrew’sdictum which required pupils to mas¬ter their subjects completely beforebeing promoted. His letter vigor¬ously supported Superintendent Mc¬Andrew’s drive, but, according tohim, was not to be taken too seri¬ously.“Only Tomfoolery”—Burton“I meant it only as a bit of tom-folery,” chuckled Professor Burton,“though, of course, I agree with Su¬perintendent McAndrew that, unlikeLatin and French and the sciences,arithmetical processes must be thor¬oughly learned by a pupil before hecan be advanced. Ninety-four of thehundred letters I received recognizedthat I w’as only poking fun at thecontroversy, but the rest thought Iwas altogether serious.”The controversy arose when Su¬perintendent McAndrew inaugurateda program formed with the view ofmaking pupils in the public schoolsaccurate in arithmetical processes.Many people claimed that for chil¬dren to become 100 per cent in arith¬metic they must of necessity changeinto automatons. Professor Burtontook up the challenge, declaring, ina humorous way, that the point ofthe drive was not the production ofmachines but the mastery of subjectstaken.Receives Letter From McAndrewOf the stack one letterevoked delighted praise and snuiesfrom Professor Burton. It was fromSuperintendent McAndrew and read:“Brilliant sir: “I take off my hatto the man who can combine the hardsense of arithmetical accuracy withthe delicious humor belonging to theschool board trial.“A gratifying thing about 100 per cent accuracy was the amazing fre¬quency with which it was soon se¬cured and the satisfaction it gave.You rletter in today’s Tribune wasprime. Happy New Year.“Wm, Mc.Andrew.”The “B” of “Brilliant” stood outon the letter like a house afire, forit was of gigantic size and a flamingred color like an illuminated initialin a mediaeval manuscript. He hadthen proceeded to draw two littlestick-men, the one on his knees hand¬ing a bouquet to the other. Thissketch had been placed between thetwo paragraphs.Publish Six CriticismsWhile it is not known how manyletters were sent to “The Voice ofthe People,” six, ail of which hadadopted an antagonistic attitude to¬ward Professor Burton, were printedin The Chicago Tribune of Dec. 23.Phrases that expressed the feelingsof the letter most vividly were: “asilly letter concerning 100 in arith¬metic;” “the sophistry of Prof. Bur¬ton in today’s Voice of the Peopleequals the sophistry of those who aretrying Supt, McAndrew;” “Prof.Burton of the University of Chicagoin trying to be sarcastic succeedsonly in becoming absurdly illogical.”One of the letters was:“Just for fun I would,like to knowif every pupil of W, H. Burton getsa grade of “A” I am willing to wag¬er they do not.“An Old Grad.” Install New WindVelocity RecorderNew enemometers of the three-cup type were installed last Mon¬day in official United Statesweather bureaus all over the coun¬try, including the University bu¬reau in Rosenwald observatory.These instruments record the di¬rection and velocity of the wind.Automatic action is maintained bymeans of an electrical connectionwith a triple register, turned byclock-work.The advantage of the new typeof instrument over the old four-cup anemometers lies in the great¬er accuracy obtained according toMr. Paul £.

TheUniversity maintains a central medi¬cal dispensary at Rush medical col¬lege, Paulina and Van Buren, treat¬ing 110,000 patients including 25,-000 new applicants last year.These facts have been gathered incompiling the preisdent’s annual re¬port. “I am a democrat, and to say Iam democratic is to say I am re-I ligious,” said T, V. Smith, assistant; professor of Philosophy, last evening: at Bond Chapel, concenring “HisI Philosophy of Life.” “Democracy isI the genuine way of living. My fourreasons are:“First, any and only good in hu-I man life in this world satisfies hu-j man desires. Second, each manknows what he wants better thananybody else. Third, a society inwhich a man participates knowswhat he wants better than one inwhich he does not participate. Andfourth, this type of society in whichman participates gives purer and bet¬ter satisfaction than any other.”Substantiates OpinionMr. Smith went on to make thesereasons reasonable, and in so doing,since he is a philosopher, gave goodrather than real reasons.“There is no reason w’hy everyother man should not have the samechance as I have. Since I have foundlife intimate, kind, joyous,—oneconstant chance for growth, satis¬faction and for ascending to newheights, I wish all other men couldhave the same chance.“The nature of the universe issuch that, to have any other outlookon life other than democratic, istragical, suicidal. Sheer wantingsomething to be does not make it so.We must use human intelligence andmake it as we want it. This so calledscientific energy destroys life andeven if science doesn’t admit it, com¬mon sense does say that intelligenceis necessary.”Intelligence a NecessityThis intelligence, he continued, isnecessary to beguile as much as pos¬sible the doom of every human being.Although he admitted this outlook-on life was ultimately pessimistic, itis the only logical one to take. Leav¬ing a man alone in the world makeshim mature and responsible, and ter¬rifies him as it does most human be¬ings, but, intellectually speaking, it(Continued on page 4iPolice Hold OneAfter QuestioningRobbery SuspectsAlthough more than ninety sus¬pects were questioned by officers ofthe Hyde Park police station in con¬nection with the $22,000 robbery ofthe University cashier’s office on Dec.14, only one man, .Jack Shea, hasbeen held for trial.

He stops. He sucks in his breath, andlooks furtively behind him, andthen fearfully before him.He sees in the past his own twenty-odd years, spent primarilyin groping after the something called Truth. And he finds thestock of his mind infinitely theoretical, infinitely small, infinitelypedantic.His eyes turn to the future, and he sees the world, “the out¬side world,’’ into which he will in a few short months be castheadlong. There it is, lying spread out before him, a vast, seem¬ingly impervious jungle of machinery, dirty, grimy, but strange¬ly smooth-running. It seems to say to him: “Yes, you’re a niceboy. But we don’t want you. We haven’t room for you. Can’tyou hear us? We don’t want you !’’Then he looks around him. He sees his friends, those whowere graduated before him, the bright boys of their classes, thethe University marshals, the Honor society men, the businessmanagers of the school publications. He sees them flounderingabout in the sea of machinery, cast from breaker to breaker, ableto make out an existence from the cast-offs of great ships, or fromthe flotsam, or from parental manna.And he begins to wonder just what benefit he has obtainedfrom twenty-odds years of schooling. More than twenty years.Why, in the last five, at least, he could have been out fighting hisway. He could have been five years nearer the port of comfort.He could have begun to learn the special technique required. Hecould have cut himself clear of great, fine, futile philosophy,history, literature, art; and could already have begun the questfor shelter and food, and clothing.It is certainly one of the greater tragedies that a studentwho has spent twenty-odd years in preparing himself to meet lifeis almost as unprepared to meet it as is the youth of correspond¬ing age fresh from high school—that he is at a certain disadvant¬age, because he has lost some of the healthy enthusiasm that goeswith maxims undisturbed by too much thought. But it seemsto be a fact.Statisticians say that a college education reaps its harvest af¬ter the first ten years in the world. In the meantime, one mustlive. Perhaps the college senior is wise who lays aside, howeverregretfully, all college activity but the requiremnts for a degree,and steps out, to look around—and perhaps to see how the ma-chinpry lonk.s—dirtv, grimy—and how it smells—and how it feels. NATIONAL PREPCAGE TOURNEYSAFE FOR YEAR OFFICIAL NOTICES(Continued from page 1)floor is small, and the game is lim¬ited to eight minute periods.Educational Experience“For practically all the players,the trip to Chicago is a wonderfuleducational experience. For many ofthe boys, it is their first trip to alarge city, and we have even hadcases where teams have never rid¬den on trains before coming to thetournament. The experience of avisit to Chicago, where the boys aretaken on many trips, is very valu¬able. In addition, the date of ourtournament coincides with the vaca¬tion time of many of the schools rep¬resented.“So far as the effect on the stu¬dent body is concerned, that is large¬ly a matter of control exercised bythe principal and superintendent.None of the teams are accompaniedby student rooters, and the excite¬ment among those who remain athome can be controlled by the au¬thorities.Coaches Favor Meet“We have always cooperated withthe state high school associations be¬cause we feel that they are doinggood work.

Brady, Paul Nieder-man and Norman Root.Have ExperienceAll of the sophomore assistantssetwed in some capacity last quar¬ter and showed great efficiency in Having wiped off their slate ofpractice tilts with a hard fought vic¬tory over the Oregon Aggies lastTuesday night. Coach Norgren’s out¬fit has settled down to improve theiroffense during the remainder of theweek in preparation for the initialconference fray against Indianathere next Saturday night,Hoosiers FavoriteAlthough the Marons emerged onthe long end of three pre-season tilts,their performances on the hardwoodfloor hasn’t caused Coach Norgrenany paeans of joy. Rightfully, Chi¬cago should have salted away theButler game, but Chadd, diminutiveall-state Indiana forward, crematedChicago’s hopes in the last thirtyseconds w’ith a long shot. AgainstPitt, the Maroons have no excuse tomake. Neither have Northwestern,Ohio, Michigan, and Iowa for thatmatter, so the Maroons are discount¬ing their loss against the Panthers.From present indications, it looksas if Norgren’s Christmas gift hasturned up in the shape of Changnon,flashy Maroon forward. The sopho¬more basketeer made his debutagainst DePauw two weeks ago, anddid a right good job of it. Chang¬non looks like a good proposition inthe bruising Big Ten competition.He’s big, rangy, and best of all, hasan eye for the hoop.Kaplan’s return to the gameagainst Oregon relieved Norgren ofsome of his worries.
