i SUP-SLAPS” ENTERS UNAL REHEARSALStS^ Batlp Jllaroon Intramural carnivalchairmen named.THE DAILY MAROON, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1929 Price Five Cent*The Blind AlleyBj Loais H. EngelThe little girls are working undera big strain these days. Four daystill opening night.By the> grace of God and the dragof a Daily Maroon reporter I pulledthe stage-door Johnnie act yester¬day and sneaked into the sanctumsanctorum where the spectacularshow that next Friday night will re¬solve itself into “Slip-Slaps,” thefifth annual Mirror production, wasin the course of presentation.They tell me that it’s going tobe one of the smartest plays thatthe girls with Balaban and Katz am¬bitions have ever put on the creak¬ing boards of Mandel hall. Judgingfrom the exhibitions of ballet danc¬ing, chorus work and various andsundry other things which I wit¬nessed—and which as I have beenforewarned are not mentionable in awell-bred collegre paper—I shouldconclude that the expectations of itsproducers and managers would befully realized. It’s a peppy review—politely peppy, you understand.Just gingery enough to give thisstaid and steady Victorian campusa thrill without shocking its finersensibilities,—those culturally re¬fined feelings to which we point withglowing pride.“Slip-Slaps” as Frank O’Hara ex¬plained between jumps, is a seriesof skits, a satirical revue, consider¬ing in the broad certain amusingfeatures our social and cultural ex¬istence. As he ran over the plotbriefly and as certain sections of itwere enacted it appeared to be anexceedingly fascinating piece ofwork, “deucedly clever, my dear^Archibald.” It makes a high demandof the audience, however, it re¬quires actual intelligence; that is, ifone is to receive the full value ofall its veiled irony. But after all,whether or not some of us simple-minded folks miss occasional juicytouches is of small consequence. Noone ever went to a Mirror show forplot anyway—despite the fact thatmany noble souls who are seeking toraise the level of campus morals in¬sist that such is the case.It may be that way with you, butas for me and mine we go to Mirrorfor pastime. And as far as I knowa good many of the yokels who usecrested stationery in this precinctshare that attitude. It’s local col¬or that Mirror provides—that and alittle something of the “unmention¬able.” That’s the way with all ama¬teur productions. One never goesfor the sake of artistic appreciationbut solely for the amusing purposeof seeing some acquaintance stum¬ble awkwjirdly around up-stage asthe Spirit of Halitosis. That’s t hyI’m going to Mirror Friday or Sat¬urday, solely for the fun of seeingthe Mortar Board that Brother Goo-fus dragged to the last house partystumble over the legs, or rather,the limbs—of the blue-eyed Esotericwho used to go around with JohnnyBohunkus.Of course, you may not knowBrother Goofus’ Mortar Board orthe blue-eyed Esoteric, but there’salways a chance that you will beable to pick out a brown-eyed ChiBho or a keen-looking Sigma. Cer¬tainly from amongst all those Sweet¬hearts on Parade before the foot¬lights yoii ought to be able to pickout some enticing sprite that holds apeculiar appeal for you and youalone. And if in all that motley chor¬us there’s no one damsel that meansthe world and all to you right now—well, you might be able to find one.There’s always a chance.

It is extremely topical, accord¬ing to Frank O’Hara, the producer;and it takes off everything and ev¬erybody worth taking off in contem¬porary happenings.

His discoverieswere not all in the fields of geologyhowever, for during his stay he discovered the second largest animalfound in that region, the Gompho-caphalus, which is bluish-black incolor, and only one millimeter inlength The other animal associatedwith the antarctic is the mosquitow’hich is, fortunately, wingless. An¬other interesting feature of the re¬gion, apart from geology, is thePenguin, a rather large sea-fowlwhich, as the speaker described it,looks not unlike a dapper head-w^ait-er whose dress suit, being a triflelarge, has decidedly slipped.All was not geology or zoology,however.

Institution of a Reading Period plan.THE PROPER STUDY OF MANKIND”President Angell’s recent announcement that, by October,1930, Yale would have a new building to house an ‘‘Institute ofHuman Relations" has met with considerable interest in academiccircles. Taking all knowledge for its province, this institute will at¬tempt to correlate the separate sciences —psychology, biology, so-cialogy, anthropology, history, ethics, economics, politics—and fo¬cus them on a central study, man.Many hail this announcement as the greatest educational stepforward of the decade, both here and abroad. They point out thatthe basic principles of Yale’s proposed system of co-operative re¬search are effectively aimed at the most fundamental weakness ofthe much critized educational system now in vogue. As so neatly andempathically pointed out by Iving Babbitt in his article in a current"Forum,” the trend in Twentieth Century education has been to¬ward excessive freedom from all scholastic restraint, and conse¬quently toward a lamentably high degree of specialization in theacquisition of knowledge. The well-rounded scholar, like the well-rounded student, is no more. Babbitt contended.Tbis modern liberalism, this freedom of choice of studies, ismuch to be desired, but not at the expense of turning out woefullyone-sided men, either as graduates or as professors. The best brainsat Yale have labored for the last five years to turn out a plan whichwill limit the evils of this present specialization without losing anyof its advantages; and they have, as a result, broached this scheme.Bringing together some of the greatest leaders in pure and ap¬plied science in the country, the Institute will set them to work tocontribute towards the single end, betterment of the behavior andrelations of man. Specalists, it is hoped, will serve to broadeninstead of cramp one another in this unified, related study of hu¬man conduct. But that is where the hitch will, if at all, come in,skeptics of the plan say. The trouble is, they say, that eminent menof science often disagree; ay, that these knowledge founts are some¬times the most intolerant of men when their pet theories are inquestion. Controversy not concord reigns among the various sci¬ences; and the new Institute will be almost immediately after itsopening helplessly plunged into unproductive chaos.Notwithstanding the plan is worth the attempting; its motiveis an excellent one. President Angell and his associates have form¬ulated a noble attempt to solve one of the most perplexing problemsof education today. May they be as successful as they are enter¬prising.WHERE MARRIAGE IS A CRIMEThe administration of Washington and Jefferson College evi¬dently doesn’t believe that married students are capable of study.At any rate a new rule has gone into effect that excludes marriedundergraduates. A college romance must needs be that and naughtelse, they apparently believe. We wish they would enlarge on theirsexual relationship ideas; they have much intrinsic publicity value.

MONROE ST.Basketball squad’crashes through whflegymnasts lose.Page ThreeThe TempestDaniel HofTers hereto undefeatedgymnasts lost Saturday to Illinois.And the moral to be drawn fromthat story is that nothing is ever per¬fect and furthermore perserveranceconquers all obstacles. For it wasthe first time in eighteen long anddreadful years that the turners fromdownstate managed to come throughfor a win against a Maroon outfit.But despite all this rot, it doesseem odd and peculiar, to say theleast, that a team turned out byCoach HoflFer should lose a dualmeet. But the fact is more easilycomprehended when one realizesthat in four events only two Mhroongymnasts were entered, when thereshould have been three. The resultwas that right there Chicago spottedthe mini 280 points—and they onlylost by 287 points. The reason forentering only three men was that^herbull who was to have been thethird man, injured himself in prile-tice Thursday night and couldn'tcompete against the downstate ag¬gregation.This loss may have been met hadCoach HofTer been blessed with a lotof good leserve material, but hewasn't so lucky. But on the con¬trary HofTer had onyl one veteranleft and he was without the servicesof Jimmy Flexner and Floyd David¬son who were recognized as the bestin intercollegiate circles. The Ma¬roon mentor faced a tough job thisyear and he came through only tolose a dual meet because of an in¬jury.But even in defeat the Chicagoteam showed itself to be a splendidaggregation. Captain Menzies tookfirsts in the horizontal bars, rings,and parallel bars, and a third in thesidehorse. He really gave a marvel¬ous exhibition and proved himself tobe deserving of the position of lead¬er. Menzies will be the center of theMaroon gym team for the rest ofthe season and much of the Ma¬roon's chances in the Conference iwill hinge on his performance. Bro-mund took a first in the clubs andWeaver came in to take a third inthe horizontal bars The Chicagoteam easily outshone its opponentsin the matter of individual stars,but the mini reserve strength pull¬ed the downstaters through to a win.But Daniel HofTer is not down¬hearted—far from it. Of course he'ssorry that his boys droped a dualmeet, but the individual perform¬ance of his men gives the MaroonCoach a lot of hope for another BigTen championship. As HofTer saidquite bluntly and meaningly to thewriter, " We're going to work hard—harder than ever. Next Saturdaynight we meet Wisconsin in our onlyhome meet of the season, and we'regoing to take 'em. Just v/atch ourdust down at Champaign on March9 when the Big Ten championshipis held." We believe in our coach.We've got confidence in the team.We know that they're going to beatthe Badgers here next Saturday be¬fore a capacity crowd. And what ismore we are sure that Hoffer's boysare going to give a great exhibitionof gymnastics at Illinois on March D. U.’S WINNERSIN SEMI-FINAL I-MBASKEmiL PLAYMac ^ Defeat Phi GamFive By 33-9ScoreBy Walter BakerThe play in the semifinals of theIntramural Basketball games lastnight revealed a number of interest¬ing facts. The Delta Upsilons de¬feated Phi Beta Delta with a scoreof 19 to 4. The brilliant shootingand teamwork of the winners makethem a contender for the A teamchampionship. The Macs beat thePhi Gamma Deltas 33-9 in an easytilt. The , lofty Gamma Alphastrounced the-Ponies with a 19 to 14score. The Beta Theta Pi aggrega¬tion won from the Medics, the finalscore being 20-10.Mac& 33; Phi Gams 9In the first game the Macs mas¬sacred the' Phi Gamma Deltas, thefinal score being 33 to 9. The latterin their overanxiousness left open¬ings which the Macs took advantageof. With Goodman and Sheer ofthe Macs sinking them from all an¬gles and distances the result was aforegone conclusion. Capt. McKen¬zie was also instrumental in the run¬away. Crowder and Chissom of thelosers played well but their team¬work was deplorable.Gamma Alpha 19; Pontes 14Height advantage gave the Gam¬ma Alphas a 19 to 14 victory overthe diminutive Ponies. Despite thisphysical factor, the Ponies held atwo point lead at the half with thescore 7-6. The victors then tookmsttcis.'.ito . their own hands andsank two baskets and a free throwto put the game on ice. Althoughthe Ponies have been laying togeth¬er for months they couldn't getstarted in this fray. Gray was highscorer for the victors contributing9 points.Betas 20; Medics 10Beta Theta Pi trounced the Med¬ics in a technical battle to the tuneof 20-10. Every one but the refereefouled in this free-for-all. Neverthe¬less the game was fast and excelledthe previous games far as floor workand shooting were concerned. TheMedics led at the half but as soonCompere and Korten got the range,the Betas pulled into the lead. Ler-ner displayed some pretty work forthe losers. The defeat of the Medicswas due to their inability in sinkingfree throws.D. U.’s 19; Phi B. D. 4The Delta Upsilon team swampedPhi Beta Delta in a fast game. Un¬til the closing minutes of the gamethe losers were held scoreless. TheD. U.'s have a wonderful team andone cannot blame the Phi Beta Del¬tas for the poor showing they made.Heywood and Scheneberger are Varsity material, considering their abil¬ity in shooting, passing and drib¬bling The final score was 19-4. Ifthe D. U.'s play the type of gamethey did last night, against the othersemifinalists they should win thechampionship. Cagers Win FirstConference GameFrom MinnesotaSeveral surprises took place in theMaroon camp over the week-endwhile the various athletic aggrega¬tions were engaged in conferencecompetition. The unpleasant sur¬prise was the defeat of Coach D. L.Hoffer's championship gym team atChampaign, while on the other hand,Nels Norgren's basketball crew final¬ly cashed in with a victory at theexpense of Minnesota.The Norsemen came out of thenotrh last Saturday to fight it outwith Chicago for the cellar champion¬ship. The Gophers had one victoryto their credit and Chicago none. TheMaroons blazed a bright path for achange, and after being tied at thehalf, 18-18, came back s^.ong in thesecond half to win its first confer¬ence tilt. •For the Maroons, Captain Gist anddiminutive Bob Kaplan played theirlast home game. They have two moreencounters yet before the conferencerace closes. Both Gist and Kaplanfinished up their hardwood careerson Bartlett in superb style, the Ma¬roon leader scoring seven points toboost his point total still higher.The tragedy which overcame thegym team has been described in amore glowing account elsewhere,suffice to say here that D. L.'s prot¬eges went down to defeat chiefiy be¬cause Scherubel, one of the main¬stays of the team, was out with asprained wrist. As it was, CaptainMenzies took four first places, but in¬dividually he could not shoulder Chi¬cago’s cause. There Is some uncer¬tainty whether Scherubel will beavailable for the Wisconsin matchnext week, but it is hoped to havehim in good condition for the con¬ference championship.The fencing team, which accom¬panied the gym outfit, seem to be hitby the same tragedy as that whichovercame the latter team.
