^atlp iiaroon Sophomore c a sisstarts finance drive.No. 54. UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO. THURSDAY. JANUARY 24. 1929 Price Five Cent*AthenaeumThe Athenaeum column was orig¬inally instituted for just*such a pur¬pose as it is used for today. A stu¬dent in the University registers aprotest against a practice that ap¬parently was sanctioned by the ad¬ministration. His objection is justi¬fied and sound. It is entered not inthe spirit of smartness, but as con¬structive criticism—much as we de¬test that phase. STUDENT CARDSSUPPLY FUNDSFOR SO^ CLASSMahin Fills Treasurer’sPost in AbsenceI of EricsonAN IMPOSITIONBy Trocaserus SloramiHigh- pressure salesmanship hasAnally succeeded in invading ourclass rooms. I know that salesman¬ship prevails not only in all profes¬sional and business enterprises, butalso in social and school circles*, nev¬ertheless, I scarcely realized tnat itwould go so far as to have its in¬fluence permeate class rooms.The other morning, an incident oc¬curred during class hour in sociologywhich is apt to set a precedent forother incidents of the same or sim¬ilar nature. After half of the classperiod had passed, a young man en-' tered the room and for fifteen min¬utes gave a rather interesting talkwhich had for its ultimate purposethe urge that we, the audience,should buy from him a copy of thebook of which he was speaking. Thebook itself was one which was writ¬ten by a former professor of sociol¬ogy. now deceased. Because of hisintense interest and work in this de¬partment and for fear that his namemight soon be forgotten, copies ofthis professor’s very interesting bookwere to be sold. The students wereto be griven the opportunity of buy¬ing this unusual work for the verysmall price of twenty-five cents. Thespeaker strongly impressed upon usthat the “sales” talk was not a com¬mercial proposition at all, but thatit was sanctioned by the heads ofthe department.Even at first thought, one cannotrefrain from expressing disgust atat the incident and the more he thinksabout it, the more disgusted he be¬comes. Although the matter wassanctioned by the department, theincident was an imposition on the.students by forcing them to sit thrua talk that broke into the usual rou¬tine of the class and that was of lit¬tle interest to them.If the department was really de¬sirous of keeping the name of itsformer professor before the public,surely there were various other meth¬ods they could have chosen to accom¬plish their aim. Let us view this in¬cident in a financial light. A majorcourse in the University costs thestudent $33.33 per quarter. If thequarter is ten weeks long, the costper week is approximately $3.33.Since this course is a five-day study,the daily cost to the student is sixty-seven cents. Figuring upon this basisthe talk as given by this young“salesman” cost each student twentycents. For those who purchased thebook (there were a few who didbuy it), the total cost was forty-fivecents. Carrying this reasoning a littlefurther, there are thirty members inthe class, an approximate cost of sixdollars for the class and since it isnatural to assume that the speakervisited the other two classes in thisparticular course, we see that thespeech cost the students an ai:*'roxi-mate of $18.What are we able to presume thedepartment or the “salesman” accom¬plished by this sudden decision tovisit the classes on this “sales” mis¬sion! The writer glanced over theclass as the books were either re¬turned or paid for by each memberand judged that nearly twelve stu¬dents bought the book. Does theyoung “salesman” believe that sinceforty per cent of the class boughtthe book, the name of the now well-known professor will be preservedin the minds of our students? Thewriter is of the opinion that the Uni¬versity officials should forever bansuch commercial activities duringclass sessions, even though the at¬tempt may be well founded, for itwill serve as a precedent which latermay be very difficult to break. Class tickets are to be sold by thesophomore class to inaugurate a newfinance system. The tickets may bepurchased through those campus rep¬resentatives of the class on the fin¬ance committee. The price of the tic¬kets will be fifty cents each.Committee HeadsThe following are the committeeheads each of whom will have fiveassistants:Francis Blodgett, Eleanor East-wood, Helen Zoe Marhoefer, LyleGumm, John Innes, Henry Ripley,Stanley Corbett.“This is not a scheme to get moneyfrom the members of the class andnot give them anything in return,' but it is a drive to get sufficientfunds to launch a very full programwhich we have planned,” said Wil¬liam Garvey, president of the class.Temporary TreasurerGeorge Mahin, Beta Theta Pi, waselected temporary treasurer until Ro¬land Ericson returns to school, atthe last meeting of the class coun-il. “I hope that the members of theclass will co-operate in this drive,”Mahin said yesterday.Changes have been made in thesophomore council due to the factthat several students formerly of thecouncil dropped out of school. Thenew members appointed are JohnHardin and Leon Smolter.As yet few definite plans havebeen made by the council, althougha tentative program includes several(Continued on page 2) Woodward AcceptsRussell’s InvitationFor Police StudyCommissioner Russell of theChicago police department hassent invitations to the University,Chicago Crime Commission, theChicago Commission on CriminalLaw and Criminology, and North¬western University to participatein a study of police problems.In response to this invitationPresident Woodward says: “Thereare no problems of greater import¬ance to the City; and the Univer¬sity of Chicago, which holds itselfin readiness at all times to servethe City, will be glad to cooperatein an effort that must be made fortheir solution.”Federal Plan forChicago—KerwinBenefits of a federal system ofgovernment for Chicago, its suburbs,and the oytlying districts of CookCounty will be discussed by Assist¬ant Professor Jerome G. Kerwin ofthe Political Science department, inhis lecture “A Chicago Plan of Gov¬ernment” to be given Friday at 6:45at the Art Institute.Mr. Kerwin advocates a city man¬ager type of government, in whicheach community will keep its politi¬cal independence and will be repre¬sented in the central government ofthe county, or of an even largera’rea. By bringing the various gov¬ernments which now exist in the Chi¬cago region under the general super¬vision of a board headed by a presi¬dent the county will achieve greaterefficiency and economy in adminis¬tration.Civic improvements, such as anefficient police force, a common wa¬ter supply, drainage and road sys¬tems will be shared by Chicago andadjoining communities. The planwould prove effective not only inChicago, but in all large cities, saidMr. Kerwin.It is now operating in Berlin withmost effective results and is beingexperimented with in Pennsylvania. Fitzpatrick andDouglas DebateClass ImportancePaul H. Douglas, professor of Eco¬nomics at the University will debateGeorge R. Fitzpatrick of the RandSchool of Social Service Sunday eve-! ning at Temple hall. Van Buren and: Marshfield streets. The issue will be“Class Struggle is a Paramount Is¬sue,” and Prof. Douglas will upholdthe negative. ,On Jan. 19th Professor Douglasaddressed a group of 1500 personsat a luncheon of the Policy Associa¬tion in New York. The key-note ofthis speech was recognition of theRussian Soviet.New York AddrecsIn his New York address Prof.Douglas said “the Russian Revolutionhad paid dividends to the mass ofcity workers and had established astate of assured stability in the pre¬dictable future.” It was also statedthat it might be estimated that themajority of the Russian workerswere from 40 to 45 per cent betteroff than before the war. This opti¬mistic vein, however, could not beapplied to the peasants as Dr. Dou¬glas estimated their condition to beworse than before the war as hiscrop is worth only 70 per cent o#the 1913 level. However, it was1 pointed out that this was not as seri¬ous as it seemed for the average-peasant sells only about 19 per centof his crop, as the rest is used inhousehold consumption. T. V. Smith Outlines the Role ofThe Philosopher at Club MeetingThe role of the philosopher, ac¬cording to T. V. Smith, Professorof Philosophy, who spoke before thePhilosophy club last evening, is man¬ifold.“There is no philosophy, but onlyphilosophers,” he said. “They are firstmen, and they become philosophersthrough the attempt to come to termswith their environment.” No scien¬tist attempts to adjust himself tothe whole environment. No individ¬ual scientist embodies the whole ofscience. There is always action whichtranscends scientific research. “Atthe boundaries of knowledge therelies a sort of wisdom, and the phil¬osopher is a lover of wisdom.”A Clue to Conduct“Knowledge to the philosopher isa clue to conduct,” he continued.When the true philosopher has dis¬covered a way of life he wishes todisseminate it in the community. Hewill therefore become a teacher.

All University students havebeen invited to the lecture whichwill be presented under the auspicesof the Renaissance Society of theUniversity.In order that the students mayreceive a painter’s point of view in.regard to this exhibition, Mr. Gies¬bert will give an interpretation, ex¬planation, and criticism of theseworks. He will relate these paintingsto the works of the old masters, andcomment on the variations in theirstyle and treatment.Mr. Giesbert, who is an instruc¬tor at the Art Institute as well ason campus, has done extensive workin painting. He received the greaterpart of his training at the Art In¬stitute, and supplemented his workthere by three years of study inGermany. An exhibition of his paint¬ings was sponsored by the Renais¬sance Society last spring.His lecture Tuesday will be of spe¬cial interest to members of the Ori¬entation Course, for it will be in di¬rect harmony with the discussions ofthis group. a teacher he will be an emancipatorfrom outworn ideas, a mediator be¬tween isolated gorups, and a creatorof souls.Uie of Word#The medium of the philosopher iswords. He must be modest enoughto use the language of commonsense so that he may be the inter¬preter to all of what is otherwiseunderstandable only to the few.“Every philosopher who rises tothe highest place in his vocation,”he concluded, ‘will become a crossbetween a scientist and a poet.” DANCING SENORDOES TANGO ATSPANISHJIESTASelections from CarmenTo be Given byStudentLife of FounderOf “Settlement”Revealed in Book“Mary McDowell, Neighbor,” abiography of the woman who found¬ed the University of Chicago Settle¬ment Hou.se, is a new book by How¬ard E.

Our extra-curricular occupations seldom lead us to any butthe mildest sort of activity.And regretably so. Not that we would welcome the varsitydrag, the gin flask of the five-reelers, and other traditions that havebeen attached to college by without-the-gates romanticists. Wemerely wish to question whether the prevalent modes of whilingaway the extra-curricular hours by a goodly part of the student bodyshould not be applied on a more moderate scale.The prevalent modes of bridging most of the time gap be¬tween classes and bedtime have assumed the proportions of a fineart. They are many in number. Among the chief of these is auctionbridge. When the morning snow, sleet and ice is on the grass andthe cold sun is due to creep over a shivering horizon, passers-by maywonder at the groups of four gathered about tables that they seethrough fraternity house windows. They may romantically con¬jecture ale parties, but it is merely some of the boys h'aving a turnat bridge. And now we understand that several of the houses havetaken up the sport of ping-pong.The progress of this sport makes interesting history. We cantrace its beginnings only so far back as the Y. M. C. A. from whenceit spread to Hollywood, and then to the homes of the smart setof New York. Now apparently it is invading the college campus;and it is but a matter of moments before the enterprising I-M de¬partments will include it in their all ready top-heavy programs.These divertisements seem harmless enough, but when theyencroach on a students’s time to the extent of three and four hoursa day we call out, if not for prohibition, then for moderation atleast. Probably never again will the average undergraduate haveas much leisure as he does now. Probably never again will he beso afforded with opportunities to read sound books or listen to soundlectures or follow the bents of his more worthy interests.Though moralists may rant about the shocking necking andginning activities of the younger college generation, we point outwith a firm finer that it is such harmless looking fellows as bridgeand ping-pong that put the irony into the term “Liberal Education.” Friday, January 25Radio Lecture: “American Liter¬ature.” Professor Percy H.

Northwestern, Wisconsin,and Illinois have yet to be encoun¬tered, and at least two oi tnoseteams are going to be pretty difficultto hurdle.Wisconsin, by trimming Purdue onthe Boilermakers’ court, establishedwith some certainty that they havea fast traveling outfit. On a basisof comparison, which of course doesnot prove the case to be so, the Bad¬gers are a better all-around teamthan Purdue.Tenhopen is as good a center asMurphy, if not the best i'enter in theconference. He is tall, rangy, han¬dles himself skillfully, and has a won¬derful basket eye.

Togetherwith the Meanwell defense, Wiscon¬sin’s prospects for a conference titleare bright.Purdue and Michigan are certainto make the race an interesting one.The Lambert outfit is always dan¬gerous with Murphy in the line-up,but meets Northwestern, Indiana andWisconsin in return games.
