TENTH ANNUALBASKETBALLTOURNAMENTOPENS. TENTH ANNUALBASKETBALLTOURNAMENTOPENS.Vol. 28. No. 85.Main StreetBy Milton S. MayerLeft alone for a week, spring, be¬wildered and blizzarded, came aroundat last—just in time to start thebasketball rolling and drug the nev¬er very enthusiastic undergraduatebody into the wooden lethargy that,although for some (like me) the mel¬ody lingers on through the rest ofthe year, always identifies itself withspring quarter. Two Spring quartersaround here have left with me thebelief that there is a general laxityamong the faculty too—due in greatpart, I suppose, to the fact that theysimply can’t make the asses drink,and, in lesser part, to the fact that,while some of us can’t stir in anykind of weather, none of us can getdown to what used to be called brasstacks when the windless days andmoonstruck nights set in. First comesthe three-ring circus that begins to¬day in Bartlett. Everyone has to goto the Interscholastic. Those of uswho belong to the scholasticallygoody-goody class salve our consci¬ences with a trumped up allegianceto our own, or some one’s else, hometown team, and the rest of us, cal¬loused beyond restoration, just bustout with a “wot t’ hell” and find ameagre few inches of unyieldingboard on the Bartlett floor, there togape and yowl in turns until day andnight—is done,• * «1 have stood up in the publicsquare once before and, like the littleman I am, asserted that the Inter¬scholastic is the curse of the century.I don’t know that it’s going to doany one any good for me to standup and assert it again. Everyone con¬cerned (and everyone unconcerned)seems pa.ssive or eager to let thething go on year after year, to theuliimate destruction of all the betterthiny''- This School Stands For— in¬tellectual snobishness, for instance.Hut the bands plays on. and everyhot-dog man must have his day, andall my offensive yodeling won’t stopit, and in the end I’l probably h.avethe University Senate, the JointBoard of Dramatics, and the (IrandOld Man, ipsissimus, all on my neck.It’s a rum go as it is, scraping andscuffling to get five full-grown mento play basketball ’neath the oldMaroon.* * *By the time the tournament isover, spring is here for good, andno one is yvorth anything for thebalance of the year, and noses areflattened against the grindstone andheld there by unrelenting hands, andit all comes to nothing. For the worldlives for spring, and spring’s stillness;its breezes and stars and its grassgreen again, elicit the memories andromances into which bored and bil¬ious humankind escapes from thehumdrum with which it persecutesitself. And the college world—youth—most of all. There is a cul¬tural letdown: one more campusSymphony concert, for instance. . . .and then what? No one cares. Thereare mid-terms, then. No one cares.There are house parties, the MilitaryBall; there used to be the ill-fatedTnterclass Hop. No one cares. Black-friars, No one cares. We’ll drift inand out of all of them, won’t we?and all the while we’ll all be vacantas the President. Spring. The Uni¬versity gives me everything—it is aboon—a glory—a breeder of finehuman horses. And it asks nothing.The least I can do is what is knownas “right” by the University. I havealways meant to do right by the Uni¬versity. I always shall mean to doright by the University, and. en pas¬sant, myself. But spring is here, asyou have probably gathered frommy blither by this time, and ( if Imay borrow the only thought a dis¬tinguished contemporary of mine everhad) What of It?

The Tenth Annual Interscholastic Basketball Tourna¬ment starts this morning, ends next Saturday evening.Thire are the apparent facts about the tournament; the factthat the winning team becomes for one year the champion inter¬scholastic basketball team of the nation, the fact that the tourna¬ment is not only a supreme contest of skill and fight but a greateducational meeting, the fact that the tournament affords an op¬portunity for the broadening of acquaintance, among contestantsand University students alike, the fact that the University, be¬cause of the tournament, draws some of the players to it as stu¬dents. So much, and more, is apparent and the expected result ofthis, the World’s Greatest Interscholastic-.But there are the less evident facts, too: the fact that asurprising small number of the players ever matriculate at theUniversity, the fact that a majority of University students makeno effort to interest the players in the University—refuse toconsider the means of attracting potential University of Chi¬cago men. The students who think in that manner defend theirstand, if asked to defend it, on the ground that it is selfish tomake the tournament a rushing argument, that the tournamentis for the high schools and the prep .schools and should be heldonly to that purpose. They are right as far as they go. Thetournament is a scholastic affair, but it detracts from it in nomeasure to make of the University at the least a good host andat the most a logical Alma Mater. The chairmen of the tourna¬ment have appointed, as is their custom, a rushing committee totake care of the technique of the matter; they cannot appointeach individual student to act as pare ho.st. The student mustdo that himself. All of this is one way of saying “support therushing committee” or, in more general terms, “ru.sh the playersyourself.”There is a bit of regret current over the possibility that thisyear’s tournament may be the last. The tournament has assumeda position of nation-wide importance and because of this, in addi¬tion to the fact that it is a highly worth-while enterprise, thereis every reason to hope that its existence will not be curtailed.The reason why it should—because of the natural physical hard¬ship to the contestants—has a certain measure of truth in it.The advantages to the tournament—educational, social, spiritual—far outweigh, we are convinced, the disadvantages. In eithercase, it is up to us, as students of the University sponsoringthe tournament, to make it the greatest of the ten. Fritz Crislerhas carried the work thus far; we must carry it to completionalong with him./ OFFICIAL NOTICESTuesday, April 3Radio Lecture: “Theories of Per¬sonality.” Assistant Professor Bill.Station WMAQ, 8:00 A.
