And it is with pleasure thatThe Daily Maroon prints in this mis*guided column his objection to thevituperative tirade of a certain Mr.Virus Homo anent the new Chapel.We really didn’t think that anyoneever took the Athenaeum or theBlind Alley seriously. Certainly wenever meant our eighteen inches ofmental aberration seriously. Serious*ness we are told is a high crime. Butanyway, Mr. Myron Davis formallyanswers Mr. Virus Homo, and weare glad that he has favored us withhis refutation, for he states thewhole case sanely and concisely. RANEY EXPLAINSCHANGES IN OLDLIBRARY SYSTEMOpen Shelves ProveStudent Honesty,Lessen FinesGIVE THE CHAPEL A BREAK!By Myron DavisIn a recent issue of this column theeminent V'irus Homo has delivered him¬self of his most extravagant regurgita¬tion. The inncK'cnt and unsuspectingvictim of this latest convulsion appearsto be the new Qiapel. It is obviouslytrue that the Qiapel has lieen projectedupon the campus unexpectedly, whichhas caused a certain amount of perplex¬ity in official circles, but the condemna¬tion of the edifice as a white elephanton the basis of a month’s trial can onlylx* the result of immature reflection.Wc may completely <lisregard the factthat the ChajK*! is one of the outstand¬ing pieces of Gothic architecture in theworld, that its sheer Ixauty, both withinand without, is breath taking, that it isa -.necca for those who appreciate Ixautyin any form, and that it is a crowningtouch to an already beautiful and statelycampus. It is most certainly no businessof ours who chooses to ha've blindfaith or believe in mediaeval mysticism.If this attitude suits people, an<l theyare happy, it is sufficient. Is it notconceivable that there are many of us,stixlents at the Univervfy of Chicago,who are not content to drown tlie real¬ities of life in a glass of lieer, who arenot willing, ixrhaps, in our egotism, toconsider ourselves a mere bundle of cells,who are trying to build up for ourselvesa full and Ixautiful spiritual life, whoare tired of merely doing and going,and would like to reflect a bit on thehow aixl the why of life? It is to suchthat the spirit of the new Chapel, em¬bodied in its physical form, is a guideand an inspiration in the building of anew, sincere religious life on the basisof the highest ethical conceptions of thepast.Could the money investe<l in theChapel have Ixen spent to Ixtter advan¬tage ? Shall we enlarge our library fa¬cilities, for example? It has not Ix'enobserved that the students are so thirstyfor knowle<lge that they are stormingthe library doors. There are moreworthy books easily obtainable in theUniversity Libraries than could l)e profit¬ably read in a lifetime. Indeed, it mighteven be wise to eliminate the crammingand do a bit of digesting. Shall it lxspent in social work to benefit the lessfortunate ? A mere drop in the bucket!There is enough of mediocrity in life.Life should be heroic. The race ad¬vances and reaches out to finer thingsunder the impetus of the type of heroismwhich may be instilled by just such amedium as the Chapel. If the Chapelcan inspire only a few heroic lives, ifit can put the spirit of religion in actioninstead of in word and thought, themoney has been well spent.Yet the problem of fitting the Chapelinto the life of the University has notbeen solved. If, before delivering him¬self of any more vacuous generaliza¬tions, Virus Homo would take the trou¬ble to consult Dean Gilkey, he mightlearn that a very ambitious program hasbeen outlined with this objective in view.Until this prospective program has beengiven a fair trial, adverse criticism isdecidedly ill-advised. M. Llewellyn Raney, director of! the University libraries, jissued ai statement yesterday explaining thej nature of the recent changes in the: library system he has undertakenduring his administration. Mr. Ran-: ey discusses the opposition which heI encountered in abolishing the E-11I reserve book room in favor of thej open shelf system and the successwith which his efforts have met, inhis first official announcement to thefaculties and student body printed infull below:The Changing Library“ ‘It has been all to the good,’ saida valued Faculty observer of the au¬tumn’s library changes, and hespoke far wiser than he knew. Avery fine thing in the life of theUniversity has happened. The stu¬dents have confounded their criticsand given abundant support forj faith in them. Reserved books couldj not be put on open shelves, as it was: said by both teachers and taught.I They would disapear as fast asshown.“When, before coming into officeJuly 1, I asked a conference withthe Student council, the Aides andj Marshals, and a representative of! the Maroon, the best they felt itsafe to suggest, after long andfrank discussion, was to cut morewindows in the wall of E 11. Theopen plan was heartily praised batdubbed Utopian. When pressed forthe reason, they finally concludedthat this was too much a day schoolfor public opinion to become effec¬tive, and in September devoted well-wishers high up urged the placing of.a guard at the door.Students Not Dishonest“There is something in this, ofcourse, but it is not conclusive. ‘Ihave contended from the start thatif, in truth, our students are unus¬ually inclinded to dishonest prac-(Continued on page 2) Initiate FreshmenTo Honor SocietyInitiation into Green Cap,Freshman honor society, is to takeplace Wednesday, Dec. 5, at noonin the trophy room of Bartlettgym.

Thur-stone of the Psychology departmentof the University. His survey, thefirst of its kind ever completed,yielded several important conclu¬sions.On the average, according to histests, older children in a family areless intelligent than the younger.Older children are more susceptibleto disease and exhibit a greater ten¬dency towards insanity. Age of theparents at the time of a child’s birthdoes not affect the intelligence of thechild, neither does discrepancy be¬tween the ages of the parents. Final¬ly, the level of intelligence of thechildren of small families is higherthan that of the children in largefamilies.“Our conclusions axe based onaverages in each case,” states Dr.Thurstone, “but of course there areplenty of exceptions.”Maroon Begs toExcuse Blunder Team captains, finance drivechairmen, program chairmen, andticket chairmen will meet withCharles Cutter in Cobb 108 todayat noon.The box office will be open everyday.

Many words,editorial and otherwise, resulted, and Northwestern University wasmade to bear the brunt of them.Since then it has become clear, however, that the words of theNorthwestern Daily editorial were rash and unbacked by the opinionof the institution which the paper supposedly represents. K. L. Wil¬son, Northwestern’s director of athletics, and the “N’’ club wereamong the first to denounce the editorial as being irresponsible andunrepresentative.And now The Daily Maroon is in receipt of a letter signed bythe leaders of various Northwestern student activities which ex¬presses the wish that students here understand that the unfortunateeditorial was not a fair or authorative statement of Northwestern stu¬dent opinion.The Daily Maroon is glad to reprint the letter in its pages, andheartily commends the motives behind it. Although The Daily Ma¬roon recognizes that there is a rivalry between Northwestern andChicago, it is also aware that it is of a friendly sort, and has beenin good taste.So far as this campus will remember the recent incident at all,it will be with the regret that an editorial writer grossly and unfor¬tunately misrepresented the opinion of an entire institution.WAY OUT WESTThree college editors in Rocky Mountain Conference schoolshave been ejected this quarter. They have rceived what is common¬ly known as the “boot.” In the case of two of the editors, actionwas brought by some of the faculty of those institutions who becameirate because of certain indiscreet items published in the student pa¬pers. The third editor went the way of all flesh because he couldnot maintain a satisfactory scholastic stand <ng.The editor of the Utah Chronicle printed an article on a fea¬ture of Herbert Hoover’t campaign and followed it with partisanand antagonistic comment. The Utah writer was rebuked with theadvice that such conclusions of national importance were not with¬in the critical realm of a college undergraduate, and was given hiswalking papers. The editor of the Colorado College Tiger alloweda risque joke to slip by his censorship, and a puritanical facultyshowed him no mercy. The suspension of the editor of the WyomingBranding Iron two weeks ago on the sole account of poor gradeswas the most recent act.In the last instance the drastic step taken^by the administrationwas logical and necessary, but in the other cases the action of the fac¬ulties seems a bit narrow and harsh. The reason advanced for the re¬buking of the Utah editor seems particularly unjust and bigoted. If acollege education does not entitle one to an opinion on a nationalquestion what may we query of the University of Utah authorities,in their opinion does> THE DAILY MAROON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1928RANEY EXPLAINSCHANGE IN OLDUBRARY SYSTEM(Continued from page 1)tices the fault must lie not in thembut in the system, though that didnot excuse dishonesty. When, for ex¬ample, a branch librarian said it wasfutile to put a certain book on areading room shelf, I set out as apractising psychologist to discoverthe cause. It was not difficult to find.The course was taken by forty stu¬dents. This book held the key posi¬tion in the bibliography. The stu¬dents were not required to get it as atextbook. It was not in the RentalLibrary and we owned one copy! Itis pretty hard for us to escape thecharge of having, however uninten¬tionally, set a trap. The trouble isthat the planners of a course havenot shared in framing the budget.Households cannot be run that way.Books On Open Shelves“Now for the proof of the pud¬ding. Whatever we had was unlock¬ed and laid out to common use.There are not as many seats as Fdlike, nor as many shelves. All this isa stop-gap arrangement till a life-sized one can be thought out andfinanced. We’ll soon be at that.There must be a spacious room forperiodicals—hundreds, live^and cur¬rent, with files of those most neededin theme-writing. Then, a referencelibrary of 20,000 volumes. A re- |serve book room, of course, of 50,- i000 volumes, absorbing, I hope, thru 'the endowment of some devoted ;alumnus, the Rental Library. Best 'of all, a great club room for brows¬ing and comfort. And one thingmore, the library is to be a teach¬ing tool. Every lecture hour should ,be a causerie in the presence ofbooks—laboratories all over—andadventure.“But at the moment, one roomwith 420 chairs and place for 12,000volumes must serve all these pur¬poses. So limited, it seemed best thatthe books be used on the spot, so asto make the stock go quickest around. With what results? Undeniablyfour:“1. The room, with its new lightsand seemly government, has neverbeen so much used before. It is nota highway or calling place any more.The deadwood is out of the refer¬ence collection, and the south wallteems with life.“2. When was the room ever soquiet? Some talkers have been cit¬ed to me but these meetings havebeen get-together affairs, and wehave parted happily sworn to a com¬mon ideal.“3. If there has been thievery,we are unaware of it. Certainly theshelves look as full as ever. Stockwill be taken at the end of the quar¬ter and we shall know the truththen. But the predicted has certain¬ly not happened. What a fine thingit would be if we could come thruwith a perfect score. Is not such apledge worth the class executives’trying to secure?“4. The fines imposed have beenabout one-fifth the old amount.E. 11 For Graduates“This is a fair picture. The re¬verse is equally fair.

StraussLate last Saturday afternoon, tapsrang out for the 1928 football sea¬son all over the country. Only theNew Year’s Day game, the Battle ofRoses between the undefeated Cal¬ifornia eleven and the powerfulGeorgia Tech team remains for thedyed-in-the wool experts to surmiseabout.s s *Starting with the smashing trim¬ming which the Oregon Aggies, amediocre team in their homeland,gave New York U., which had beenthe Nemesis of Carnegie, the eleventhat had burned up some of the mostpowerful elevens that the East couldproduce. The week-end was full ofcalamities for the teams to the right•of the Mississippi. Following thisup, the Stanford team traveled allacross the continent with their fam¬ous coach. Pop Warner, whose playshave been more subject to plagarismthan those of any other coach, andgave the strong Army squad a sound26 to 0 spanking.No matter which way you look atthis season’s results, the East is theunderdog. Army was beaten by No¬tre Dame, the school that last yearput the crimp in Maurie Drury andSouthern California’s hopes for anational championship, and Satur¬day the proud Irish ate humble pieat the feet of the Trojans to the tuneof 27 to 14.* * *So it seems that unless GeorgiaTech pulls a Hercules and ““cele¬brates New Years as it should becelebrated’’ that the far-flung fameof the East will have to hide in abasket for a couple of years till itcan produce teams that can play withthe big teams of the west. If theright thing is done by the boys, thewest should have a goodly represen¬tation on the All-American elevensfor a change, though one can nevertell about these sporting experts.Take Eckersalls’ All-Conferenceselections for example: Erny Lusby,sophomore flash at Wisconsin cer¬tainly got the merry run-around inthem. This boy has shown real tal¬ent, with his sixty-five yard punts andperfect passes and is worthy of any¬one’s second team. In fact he madepractically every other mythical teamas second string half. It used to betrue that experts were accused offavoring local men but Eckersall isone “expert’’ that will never have toworry about such a charge.

Thescrap took place last Wednesday andthe score was 18-12.For the first and only time, theMacs met a team that was just awee bit faster than the fast travel¬ing Goodman and the even fasterCody. Rexinger, East, Moore, andGist made up a quartet that flashedthe prettiest open field running dis¬played during the season.Winners Score FirstThe Phi Psis wasted little time get¬ting under way. A few passes andthen one mad dash by Gist aroundhis end settled the first touchdown.Then the Macs recovered from theirstage fright and began functioningin a manner befitting their past per¬formances. Two touchdowns in thefirst half and they held the lead,12-6.In the second half, the Phi Psisopened up with some beautiful vari¬ations of a lateral pass offensive.Gist, East, and Rexinger handled theball in faultless style, and only forj the Macs’ alert defense, would havej run wild. As it was, Gist skippedI away from both Goodman and Codyj for a second touchdown.(Continued on page 4)fter theball isoverPreserve the few remaiiving hours for sleep by eat-ing easily digestible food*Collegians the countryover are confining theirafter-the-dance suppers toShreddedwmp WHOLE MILK OR CREAMSL?'*Page Four THE DAILY MAROON, TUESDAY.

The Phi Psis workedthemselves down within scoring dis¬tance and then foolishly flung onepass over the goal line when a cou¬ple of short dashes would have re¬sulted in a score. As it was, theMacs returned the compliment. Afew minutes later. Goodman dashedclear down to the 2 yard line andthen in his desire to score a touch¬down threw to Ward over the goalline, who reached for the pass butslipped.Gist Interprets PassThe winning touchdown came onan intercepted pass. The Macs, withthe game swiftly ebbing away, open¬ed up with another stirring offen¬sive. With the ball in the middle ofthe field Cody went close to thesidelines to throw a pass. Gist jump¬ed in front of the receiver, leapedhigh in the air for the pass, and thenmiraculously slipped out of the graspof a number of opponents to trav¬erse the remaining distance for thewinnig marker.The Macs made a desperate at¬tempt to tie the score in the remain¬ing few seconds but the Phi Psis re¬pulsed the attack and emerged as the1928 champions.
