WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 30,1929 Price Five Cent*The Blind AlleyBy LoaU H. EngelI’ve known a lot of funny guys inmy time, but one of the queerest eggsthat has ever annexed himself to thisnotorious aggregation known as TheDaily Maroon staff can be seen onexhibition any afternoon after 4 onthe home floor.He calls himself the Blind Tiger;others have called him many things.He insists that his legal name is TenEyck Van Deusen, which you may ormay not be able to swallow. Any¬way, that’s the monicker they haveon the Military Department payroll,and under that title he draws suffi¬cient of the filthy lucre to keep thewalls of his stomach apart. Presum¬ably he draws pay “for services rend¬ered.’’ Just what those services en¬tail I have never been able to dis¬cover. His chief occupation seems tobe sitting on his khaki and gazing atthe eighteen inch roller on the M. S,typewriter.Only the good Lord knows wherehe came from or where he’s likely togo. (The one question is as problem¬atical as the other.) I don’t know butwhat the Lord Himself may have losttrack of this boy at some stage ofthe game, for from the stories he tellshe’s batted around all over Hell andgone. Occasionally I pick up a snatchof the travelogue. I’ve never beenable to weave them into any kind ofa consistent story. I might questionthe Tiger sometime, but I probablycouldn’t get any satisfaction out ofhim. You see. one of his most delight¬ful characteristics is his inconsisten¬cy.There was one night when we wentto the Hamburger joint down on thecorner of 61st and Cottage Grove. Wewere down at the printer’s working onthe Christmas edition and along about2 in the morning we felt the pangs ofhunger and hied ourselves down tothe aforementioned hole in the wallwhere we hopped up on the stools,like the little men we were, and or¬dered our scuttles of coffee. TheTiger was blue. Talked rather inco¬herently about lots of things. Some¬thing about being gassed in the warand spending a few months in a basehospital. Somewhere or other Chinarang into the story. It seems asthough when the war ended he en¬listed for the Phillipine service, andwhen he got through with that hewent over and showed the Chineserebels how to handle a rifle. Thatepisode ended with an escape from be¬neath an executioner’s axe—a ratherjuicy detail.Someplace along the line Englandand the University of Illinois playa part. The Tiger’s getting along inyears, you see, but from the way heacts at times you might think he wasa Freshman. That indictment, thoughmight hold true of anyone over inour local menagerie.But back to the Tiger. (He some¬times travels under the. name of theStumble Bum, too.) He’s been around.Ask him to tell you about any of thedives in Rangoon, Singapore, Shang¬hai, or some other romantic port. Ofcourse, I can’t check his stories, forI’ve never been east of Indiana orwest of the Mississippi, but he tellsthem with such realistic touches thatone can’t help believing him.The Tiger is something more thanan adventurer. He’s an aesthete—ifyou can imagine such a thing as anaesthetic ex-prize fighter. He claimsintimacy with some of the literarylights of our American Bohemia andhas written poetry himself. He’s gota knapsack full of verse and pictures(You realy ought to see some of hisphotos. They’ve been snapped in ev¬ery quarter of the globe and they in¬clude pictures of everything from theHula queen to hizzoner himself infootball togs.)You really ought to meet the Tiger.Come aroTind some afternoon. We’lleven oblige you with a respectablesong or two, for the Tiger and I har¬monize after a fashion when the restof the inmates don’t object too stren¬uously. “The Long, Long Trail’’ isour favorite, but we’ll prepare othernumbers on request.

Half the funds to finance t-hework have been provided by a Chi¬cagoan who prefers to remain anony-I mous, the other half by the University.The gift was announced yesterday.Fine Fossil Collection“The University already has in itsmuseum the finest collection of lateamphibian andl early Reptile fossilsavailable anywhere, representing theperiod when life first crawled out ofthe water," said Professor Romer to¬day. “This is largely due to the ef¬forts of Mr. Miller, who has spentthirteen summers searching the Per¬mian strata of Texas and New Mexico,now adequately combed over.With the exception of a few de¬batable fragments found in a South(Continued on page 2) Announce PatronsAnd PatronessesOf Annual PromPatrons and patronesses of the silveranniversary of the Washington Prom,which will be celebrated on Friday,Feb. 15, at the South Shore CountryClub, are as follows:Mr. Harold H.

One painter uses color even tocreate forms. It is interesting to notethe small number of colors used bythe old Masters and the multitudefound in the paintings of the Modern¬ists.’’Mr. Giesbert spoke yesterday inWieboldt Hall. PROF.

Says He Has, “BreezySlang Commandof EnglishProfessor Ole Edvart Rolvaag, au¬thor of “Giants in the Earth” and itsrecent sequel, “Peder Victorious,’’ willlecture February 5 at 8:15 in Mandelhall. After a recent interview withProfessor Percy H. Boynton of theEnglish department characterizedhim as having “a breezy slangy com¬mand of the English language whichis quite charming.”Professor Rolvaag, while speakingabout Peder Victorious, said, ‘Nowdon’t you go to cussing Peder. Pederis a good: kid, I tell you’.”Comes Here In 1896Professor Rolvaag is a most inter¬esting character. He was born in1875 and came to this country in 1896,after deciding to give up the occupa¬tion of fishing in Norway.The summer of 1896 was the timeof the first Bryan Free Silver cam¬paign, and on the train to South Da¬kota, his first residence, Rolvaaglearned only four words, among whichwere “money” and “politics.”Teaches NowegianHe went into farming, which he didnot like, and somehow managed topick up an education. He then be¬came a teacher of Norwegian languageand literature in St. Olaf’s college inNorthfield, Minn., gradually rising tothe position of head of the depart¬ment.Professor Rolvaag has been writingfor some time, having published morethan 6 books in Norwegian prior to ’27.Finally one of his works, “Giants inthe Earth,” was translated into Eng¬lish, and the demand for it has beenso great that it went into the 41stprintng last November, 100,000 copiesalready having been sold.

Gratitude, Humility, Recognitionand Understanding of the MotherChurch, and Teachings in ChristianScience were among the essential“Stepping Stones” discussed by Pro¬fessor Hermann S. Hering of Boston,Mass., in the lecture on Christian Sci¬ence which he delivered in Mandel hallyesterday afternoon. This lecture isone of a series which Professor Her¬ing is giving during a country-widetour.In keeping with the ‘Scientist doc¬trine, Professor Hering stressed the un¬reality of sin, disease and death. “Thefinite material sense,” he declared, “isunreal. A universal problem wassolved with the discovery of the un¬reality of the material sense of exis¬tence.“There is a great danger in fear—but fear can be eliminated throughperfect love. The educational methodsemployed in schools, by parents, andgenerally by the non-Christian Sci¬ence element tends to increase fearthrough the continual teaching of thereality of sin, disease, and other er¬rors.” HONOR RAILWAYHEAD THROUGHSILENT^ONATIONTo Support Clinical andMedical Researchand TeachingGift of $250,000 by an anonymousdonor to establish at the University ofChicago the “Charles Henry Mark¬ham Fund.” in honor of the chairmanof the board of the Illinois CentralRailroad, was announced yesterday byActing-President Frederic Woodward.This unique memorial, the first ofits kind to be established at the Uni¬versity, was given in honor of Mr.Markham by a Chicago business manas an expression of his admiration forthe railroad executive’s work andachievements. The income from thefund will be devoted to the support ofteaching .research, and clinical activi¬ties of the departments of medicineand surgery at the University, includ¬ing the medical and surgical care andhospitalization of patients.Began In 1891Mr. Markham began his railroadcareer in 1881 as a section laborer onthe Atchinson, Topeka & Santa FeRailway, and fought his way to thefront ranks of the railroad men ofthe country. He was elected presi¬dent of the Illinois Central in 1911,leaving the position in 1918 when Di¬rector-General William G. McAdooappointed him regional director of therailroads of the Southern region. Heresumed the presidency of the Illi¬nois Central October 1, 1919, retaininghis position until September, 1926,when he was elected chairman of theboard.

As Harry Emerson Fosdick finishedhis lecture Monday morning, a waveof applause swept the audience, andalthough it was quickly extinguished,it gave many a feeling that it was aninappropriate ending for a lecture insuch a place. Should applause be re¬garded as out of keeping with its sur¬roundings when encountered in theChapel? This question will gainprominence gain when the Russianquartet offers its program some timenext month.Acting President Frederic C. Wood¬ward has approved the use of theChapel for secular lectures for hefeels that an auditorium of such beau¬ty should be filled with students asfrequently as possible. In an interviewlate yesterday afternoon, he said, “Toprohibit applause at secular entertain-mnts in the Chapel would be to dis¬courage its use for such purposes.”Dean Gilkey approved of the ap¬plause as it was genuine and a naturalway for an audience to express itsappreciation. He also expressed re¬gret that there should be any feel¬ing of a set rule on the subject.When questioned. Dean Shailer Mat¬hews said that he believed the dis¬tinction ought to be rather betweentypes of affairs than between places.From the standpoint of the audi¬ ence, applause was the most naturalway of expressing its opinion, butfrom the standpoint of the buildingapplause seemed inappropriate, saidMr. M. D. McLv an of the Y. M. C. A.According to Russel Whitney, presi¬dent of the Dramatic Association, andBetty White, president of Y. W. C.A., applause ought not to be taboowhen offered as a sincere expressionof enjoyment.Major Heritage toGive Illustated TalkMajor A. M.

SHRDLU!We have through long years of contact with this venerablenewspaper learned to expect that what is written on the typewriterthe night before is not quite the same thing that appears in printthe next morning. The printers and freshmen proof readers con¬nected with this sheet are combined in some unwritten, unholy al¬liance to attempt to bring anguish and despair to the soul of eventhe most hardened journalist on the staff through their fiendishmachinations with the alphabet. And how well they succeed!We have borne it all heretofore, with many a winch it is true,but never with public shout. But reading over yesterday’s editorialour vanity and sense of justice were pricked to the very core. Ineconomy and effectiveness of distortion the printers and freshmenproof readers had reached the apex of their evil art, and our tor¬mented soul cried out against them.As it appeared the last paragraph of yesterday’s editorial readlike this: “Just where is this Age of Disillusion headed? It mustbe going towards stability of some sort—that seems the inevitablereaction. But will it be the stability and permanency of the Victoriansort OF a stability in which the validity of the facts of life are rec¬ognized? We are inclined to doubt that it will be the former.”Change th'e capitalized “OF” to an “or’’, and you have the sentenceas it should have and was intended to read.DEATH COMES TO AN ARCH CUSTOMCollege traditions from all apparent indications are on thewane. The freshman brown cap has been discarded at Brown, pad¬dling pledges is looked with abhorrence within some of the frat¬ernities at Beloit, and the traditions committee at the Universtiy ofCalifornia, charged with the duty of enforcing campus customs, hasdisbanded admitting ineffectiveness and failure.Traditions at this school have always been few; and effortsto institute new ones—such as the Senior cane and Sophomoretoque—have never received enough undergraduate approbation tocause them to persist.A sign of the times is the burst of applause following Dr. Fes-dick’s talk in the new chapel Monday. Non-clapping in chapel haslong—perhaps from the first—been traditional at this University;and the taboo has been most faithfully observed until last Monday.We neither condemn nor extol Monday’s incident. We merelymourn as we always do at the passing of anything old.

By diggingwith scientific precision in the stratain whch these long extinct intermedi¬ate types were mired 200 mililonyears ago, and by bringing to bearMiller’s 20 years of experience in re¬claiming fossils, they hope to disinterwhole skeletons, which will be an¬alyzed and sent back to Chicago. Start¬ing at Cape Town with a light truckthey will follow the outcroppingstrata northeast 1000 miles throughCape Colony, Orange Free State andthe Transvaal, camping out most ofthe time.“The Upper Permian and Triassicperiods followed a glaciation and thestrata indicate an increasing warmth,”Professor Romer said. "In addition tothe advanced reptiles, some of themcarnivores, some the slower herbivores,some the ancestors of the dinosaurs,there were extant a few of the mostprimitive mammals, about the size ofrats. It is possible that we will findthe fossils of pre-mammals, whichlike the Australian duckbill, laid eggsand then suckled the young. The veg¬etation was largely Glossopteris.”Professor Romer added drily thatamong the animals now living in' theregion were twenty-five varieties ofpoisonous snakes, for some of whichthere is no antidote.COHANSGRAND NighU 8:28M«t.

The game is to beplayed at the Jefferson high school gymwhich accommodates almost twice asmany as the Purdue gym. The Hoo-sier’s great stand against the Boiler¬makers at Bloomington in the initialencounter plus the Indiana-Purdue ri¬valry is held to be accountable forthe quick sale of the ducats.Cp at Madison, the athletic author¬ities and the students are busy wor¬rying as to who will succeed Tom Lieb,who has served as line coach in foot¬ball and coach of the weight team intrack since 1925. All ardent footballfollowers know the Lieb has signed athree contract to act as first assist¬ant to Knute Rockne at Notre Dame.Applications for this position havebeen pouring into the Badger athleticdepartment since rumors were firstcirculated that Lieb would move.

Iowa has not dem¬onstrated any basketball of a superiorbrand but has managed to make thegoing tough for some of the Big Tenteams.Lineup Probably SameNorgren will probably stand pat onhis regular lineup although the bas¬ketball mentor has been using Coo¬per and Yates to relieve Kaplan andChangnon at forwards^ 'Abbot hasbeen playing a nice game at guard,and seems a fixture at one of thoseposts alongside of Fish and Craw¬ford.The Maroons share the unpleasantcellar position with Minnesota. So farthe Maroons have come close to win¬ning, but always have been just a bitshy of registering victory, Down atIllinois the team displayed nice form,and at Ohio the team ran up a fairlylarge score, only Ohio went Chicago’sbid ten points better.Grooming YatesOf the new prospects, Yates hasbeen given much grooming by CoachNorgren. The sophomore forward isstill nervous, but has a good eye andwth more experience may develop intoa star. His short height handicapshim considerably. Cooper has playedone season on the team. He has agood eye and wit hsome luck mightbe able to enjoy a good evening on thehardwood floor.SPECIALDIXIESANDWICHESSALADSDONUTSWe Serve a BusinessLuncheonSOcTHEDIXIEDONUT SHOP1003 E. 63rd St.Sunday We Are Op>enfrom 12 to 12.Sunday DinnersServed at Noon.Week Days Openfrom 7:00 to12:30 P.
