THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1928 Price Five CentsThe Blind AlleyBy Louis H. EngelJus why people come to college isa mystery that baffles me. The sea¬son is still comparatively young, andyet you can already hear studentsby the score groaning under theonus of cirricular work. Of coursethey’re usually the newcomers whohave not yet learned the fatality oftaking college seriously. But evenwe who are so wise and cool areirritated by the incessant assign¬ments. No one could epect a humanbeing to accomplish all that someof the instructors on this campusactually have the audacity to expectot students. And even if one doesresort to the fraternity files and syn¬opses of the various “required read¬ings” in order to beat the game, col¬lege work still remains a big gripe.It’s the principle of the thing thatirks me. Just why anyone shouldhave to wade through a half dozenbooks for each of three courses andwrite an infinite number of reviewsand reports for a pedagogical puppetwho doesn't give a damn about itanyway, is more than I can see. Itmight be different if I could be con¬vinced that the good resulting fromsuch self-inflicted torture would insome way be adequate compensation,but since I feel that all the truckthat I can pick up in four years ofcollege isn’t going to be worth acontinental to me when I start out toearn my own colTee and sinkers, Iam loathe to continue with the grind.(Perhaps I am a little too violent inmy pronunciamento. College, ofcour.se, has its benefits, but my ar¬gument is that the benefits are notderived from the cirricular work. Thebenefits lie rather in learning to as¬sume responsibility, to express oneself, freely, to accommodate oneselfto others, and to round oneself intoa well integrated sophisticated per¬sonality; all of which is not done inthe cla.ssroom or the library, butaround the fraternity board, behindthe footlights, on the |)laying field,or in some phase of extra cirricularactivity.The intellectual attainments ofcollege the storing up of such in-conseciuential data as the date of thethird Punic war or the maiden nameof .Shakespeare’s grandmother—arealmost negligible and may bo ac-i|uirod with less effort in Elbert Hub¬bard’s .Scrapbook. Even the man whocomes to college to specialize andhence has the most reason to believethat his studies will assist him inearning a living is frequently doomedto disappointment. The world is overrun with specialists. I have twofriends—one a chemist with eight ornine degrees and the other an elec¬trical engineer. The former is sellingsporting goods, and the latter is})ainting sign.s. Both are j)robablymaking more money than they wouldhad they been able to follow theirchosen profession.But to return to my originaltheme (if I had one) it may be ar¬gued that college study does providea critical viewpoint and other valuesof an equally intangible nature. Andso it might, but I object to havingit rammed down my throat in pre¬scribed doses. If college is an intel¬lectual feast as the dear deans arewont to picture it I should muchprefer to eat at my leisure, but if Iattempted to do so in this establish¬ment where “opportunity and notcompuhsion is the motivating spirit”I should .shortly find myself ineligiblefor public appearance.For example, I have no desire toread Plato’s Socratic dialogues to¬night, but if tomorrow morning Iwent up to my philosophy instructorand told him that I had much pre¬ferred to take a stroll down somemoonlight lane with a sympatheticfriend, he might regard us withdisfavor, despite the fact that Iargue that there is more philosophyin one moonlight night than in allPlato’s conversations. By the timeone gets into Senior college he us¬ually finds out these facts about thebenefits of self education. CHANGE CAMPUS VOTING METHODUNIVERSITY HEADANNOUNCES NEWRELIGIOUS BOARDDr. Compton Chosen asChairman of ChapelCommissionNew' members were appointed yes¬terday by Acting President FredericWoodward to the Board of Univers¬ity Social Service and Religion.

He sailed on .S. S. Contefirande for Naples on Sept. 8 andthen tran.s-shipped on the S. S. Bras-ile to Alexandria, Egypt. FT'omthere he preceded to Haifa, Pales¬tine, the base of the expedition.Lamon has a year’s appointmentas assistant topographical surveyorfor the expedition.He is a member of Beta Theta Piand was also elected ^to Kappa Flp-silon Pi, honorary geological societyat the Univer.sity.STUDENT APPROVALFOR NEW LIBRARIES Marshall LeavesCampus To JoinHopkins FacultyProfessor Leon Carroll Marshall,head of the department of Eco-i nomics, together with Professors Oli-phant and Yntema of Columbia uni¬versity, and Professor Cook of Yale,has assumed a position in the In¬stitute for Research in Law at JohnsHopkins university. F*rofessor Mar¬shall remained in Chicago until thefirst of September, when he left fora conference with his new associates.Johns Hopkins university, notedas a medical institution, is initiatinga new venture along research lines,and has called Professor Marshall toassume charge of the experiment.Mr. Marshall bears no title in hisnow' position, but has been given au¬thority over the operations of the de¬partment.F"or the experiment ProfessorMar.shall w'ill have the aid and co¬operation of men thoroughly experi¬enced in research w'ork and will begiven ample time in which to develophis theories. Work on the installation of a newheating and lighting system for thecampus and vicinity has been goingon during the summer. The plan in¬cludes a power plant to be erectedbetween 60th Street and the IllinoisCentral tracks, and an undergroundtunnel which will extend east andwest along the Midway, 55th and57th Streets, and north and southon Dorchester, Woodlawn, Univers¬ity and Ellis avenues.The new building which will housethe pow'er plant was begun Monday.The architect is Phillip Maher, Prof.Michelson’s son-in-law. Construc¬tion cost has been estimated at onemillion and a half dollars. Thefoundation, for which ground wasbroken this w'eek, is composed ofsteel. All equipment was purchasedbefore the building was designed.This was because the weights and] dimensions were unknow'n before thej purchase was made. The building ofI Gothic style will be constructed inI red brick and stone. It will houseI four boilers and allowance wil be1 made for expansion. Any time in thej next ten years a wall in the build¬ing may be knocked out and an ad-; dition constructed to house moreI boilers and the University’s own elec-! trie generating system.I Arrangements have been made soI that the entire tunnel system mayI be replaced as the need arises. GreatI difficulties have been encountered(Continued on page 2) Band Practices toPrepare for GameThe University Band, with alarger membership than ever be¬fore, is practicing each afternoonfor several hours in preparationfor the double header Saturday.More than 100 men can be eseneach afternoon parading thestreets playing the old familiarairs in a manner any universitycan be proud. The Band marchesas if it had been practicing forseveral weeks rather than severaldays. In this short time, it has,with a number af freshmen in itsmidst, learned a surprising num¬ber of songs.

TheINADEQUATE CRITERIAThe Daily iMaroon in advocating supiiort of the Universitymilitary unit wi.shes it expressly under.stood that it has not beenengulfed in any wave of patriotic fanaticism. •The Daily iMaroon in common with all sane minded people hasnever recognized in warfare and militarism any manifestationof esi)ecially virile or praiseworthy traits. It has always held ICLi.stomary iiatidotism as a somewhat dubious virtue, and has nosympathy for rabid flag-waving and th(' like. |Thus it is that we editorially disagree with a certain down- Itown paper which very recently implied that inasmuch as mili- itary instruction here was not compulsory the degree of man- :lines.' and intihligence of University of ('hicago students wouldbe determined in i)roi)ortioi] as they regi.stei'ed for the R. O. T. (',In saying this we do not mean to inter that we take a di- ,rectly opposite \ iewpoint atid hold that tho.se who sign up for 'military training are mdthei’ manly or intelligent and that the 'R. (). T. C. is without jusification for exist(mce. Indeed, we l)e- jlievf tnat the military unit fills a neces.sary niche in the Uni- 'xer.'ity. There are those to whom militar\' tactics and manouvers. |the nrditary life in short, pn-'ent an intrigi ing and fascinating ;front. m;,-re intriguing ::nd fascinating than any other .proff‘-sion or ff)i m of acti\ ity. To them it is high- jly auN isabli' to do work in a milita.ry unit sinc(‘ it forms an out-jlet ff'i- their interest, since the powers that be still permit and jsanctio-n war. and since the field of military activity presents a ;professicin regarded with as high repute as that of a doctor oi'statesm.an. Hut just becau.-^e woi’k in the R. O. T. C. is advantage¬ous and not undesirai)le, that is no more reason why every moth¬er’s .' Ut shmild do- service in the military service than that they |shoul'l be subjected to a term in a .'hool of dentistr\’, which sur(‘- ,ly is necessary and not undesirable.We are foilunate that at the University the students may pur-!sue whatev«‘r line of interest he may in his sane mind choo.se. iHeredity, environment and hi.story have conspired to make of jus individuals: what is considered good by one may not be con-’sidererl gotal by anothc'r, and still both individuals may be in jglowing health and of sound mentality when they reach their con- !elusions. We cannot gauge th(* virility and intelligence of the !University undergraduate body by the number enrolling for mil- iitary training any more than we can be scrutinizing the sum total iof .students doing work in the sociology department.ONE NINE THREE TWO '■ .. i.All freshmen who have as yet failed to join one of ithe One Nine Three Two fellowship groups are recommended to Ido so. It is one of the few opportunities that first year men haveto function and mix as a group. It is not .so much because thesegroups with the eventual admittance into the Green Cap clubare traditional, but becau.se it is a practical and pleasant jway of initiating the classmen to themselves and to the Univer- jsity, that we urge freshmen to turn out in the circle. | building will be open fur inspectionfor the first time on the date ofdedication.The Divinity HHouse was organized in 1894 chiefly through plans ofPresident Harper of the Universityand Dr. Willett.

Fourteen veteransform the nucleu.s of the DePauwsquad this season, including fivemen who starred in the forward wallin last season’s grid campaign.A great deal of color will be add¬ed the Saturday’s game from thespectators standpoint by the annualJunior-Senior parade which will pr^e-cede the game. The Juniors willwear their t'lass hats for the fiisttime, while the Seniors will be show¬ing off their new corduroys, theirdistinctive class apparel.

SrrXY-FIVE MEN ON FROSH SQUADPROMISING FROSHOUT FOR YEARLINGFOOTBALL SQUAD “Pest*’ Welch Snatches FootballThrown by Pilot from PlaneAdd a new one to your book ofStrict Entrance RulesTo HinderFrosh Fail unusual athletic stunts!Today “Post” Welch, Purdue’sbrilliant halfback, is believed to bethe only man who ever caught afootball thrown from a speedingaeroplane nearly 200 feet in the air.The opening ceremonies for the an¬nual Varsity-Freshman football gamein the Ross-Ade stadium here Sat¬ urday afternoon provided the set¬ting for the distinctive athletic feat.Aviator H u ris BallThe pessimism which has en¬shrouded all thoughts of freshmenfootball since the further restrictionsplaced upon the yearling class washanded a terrific jolt and almostentirely dispelled by the appearanceof one of the largest squads thatha .sever torn up turf on Greenwoodfield.All Have ExperienceHopes for a powerful frosh teamwere further enhanced by the factthat all of the candidates boast ofsome previous interscholastic experi¬ence. The sixty-five odd men whoreprted were promtply greeted byMessrs. Stagg, Jr., Pyott, Abbott,and Fisher and treated to scrimmageon the second day of drill. HOFFER FACES TASKIN FILLING PLACESOF GRADUATED STARS Strictly in accordance with pre¬vious arrangements, an aeroplaneappeared over the playing field a fewminutes before game time, bankedaround the stadium and then shotover the field like a streak. As theaeroplane reached the end of theplaying field, the pilot dropped a be-ribboned football as the official open¬ing of the game.“Pest” Pulls Unepected. . Squad Divided In TwoThe entire squad was divided intotwo divisions; one group being pre¬sented with the bright red jerseys ofMinnesota, while the other receivedthe more somber colored sweaters ofIowa. The Gopher outfit, under BillAbbott and “Lonnie” Stagg, wasgiven some of the older plays usedby Bill Spear’s charges and ranthrough them for about an hour anda half last night. The Hawkeyeswere put through their paces byJimmie Pyott and Jerry Fisher andlooked vt“iy good. W’ith four men lost from lastyear’s Squad, Coach Hoffer has adifficult time in sight in the job ofrounding out a gym team the equalof la.st years National CollegiateChampions.Teh four men who graduated rom-posed practically all of the 1927squad. They were F'lexner, David¬son, Neubauer and McRoy. David¬son was all around national champlast year, while Neubauer was con¬ference champion on the horse andMcRoy came out first on the Indianclubs and second on the rings. Flex-ner was runner up for the nationalall around championship. The ball came hurtling down asepected, but just then the unepectedhappened Welch, always an adeptat snagging forward passes out ofthe air, took one fleeting look atthe descending ball and tore towardthe spot where his judgment toldhim the pigskin was most apt tolight. Welch reached his spot just intime to plant his powerful legs andgrab the ball. The force of the ballnearly knocked him off his pins, buthe managed to hold the ball and re¬gain his balance.

With the prestige of having madeone of the best records of any Amer¬ican team which has invaded Japan,the I'niversity of Illinois baseballscpiad has ladurned from its longjaunt across the Pacific.Coach Lundgien and his playersare full of praise for the sportsman¬ship and hospitality of their Japan¬ese hosts. At the opening gameagainst Keio university, the rivalteams paradeil the field to the runeof “Illinois Loyalty.”Keio, Chief OpponentIllinois’ chief opponent was Keio,I which arranged the trip and withwhich six games were played. Farchteam won two games, another was atie, but the Illini won the sixth inddeciding game. The Americans de¬feated Meiji twice, broke even intwo games with Waseda and closedthe visit with a victory over theDamai newspaper team.Plan Future TripThis was Illinois’ first baseballinvasion of the land of the Nippon¬ese but it is expected to arrange atrip every three years.

Mary Shurman, senior captain,j and her loyal forwards and half-; backs have begun a determinedI search for senior w'omen whoseI longing to make a team has as yetI been unfulfilAed. “Whether theyplay wing or fullback, and whethertheir playing is decidedly brilliantor decidedly mediocre, we want themto try out for the team,” said MaryShurman.Tourney Soon! will be entered upon.'

Earnest preparation marked theefforts of the Staggmen in the prac¬tice session yesterday. With theWyoming and Lake Forest games inthe offing, the coaches are gettingdown to the serious part of the train¬ing schedule, and whipping the teaminto presentable shape for the twocontests.Scrimmage OmittedScrimmage was omitted from thew'orkout eytserday, although the linespent another hard day scrimmagingamong themselves. Coaches Crisler,Henderson, and Rouse took the menin hand and pointed out the errorscommitted in last Saturday’s tilts. InI the meanwl’ile, the line is fast show¬ing improvement in the rudiments ofblocking and tackling, thanks to theintensive tutoring of coaches Rouseand Henderson, who have been driv¬ing their charges relentlessly.Passes StressedThe “Old Man” continued workwith his backfield in the aerial game.Evidently, Coach Stagg is going toutilize the forward pass to no smallextent, as he is well equipped withpassers. The hurlers are finally be¬ginning to display accuracy in theij-tossing, while deception is being add¬ed to the offensive performance ofthe secondary defense. Coach Stagggave his charges some new plays forthe coming skirmishes and the corpsox backfield men spent most of theafternoon assimilating a groundworkin the plays.Start Same BacksIt seems certain that the samebackfield which started last Satur¬day, namely Bluhm, Mendenhall, Lib¬by and Leyers, will begin this Sat¬urday. Burgess also worked out withthe first squad and may alternatewith Leyers in the full back position.Coach Stagg is well fortified withbackfield material, and can throwany number of men into the doubleheader.j Th's season the game will be^heldj on the tennis courts south of MandelI Hall.
