Vol. 26. No. 72. UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, WEDNESDAY. MARCH 6, 1929 Price Five CenUAthenaeum IEditor’s Note: This column was SELECT 1 lAl Cl Kl El 1 PA Rl Kl El 1 1 CA RRwritten by Bobbie Mac becausethere was no one else to write it.We know it’s not worthy of thespace, so don’t read it.—Bobbie Mac.For the past two years we haveserved by Intramural department inthe rapacity of a helping hand whenit came to the publicity racket.We’ve found that they were a nicebunch of boys with no end of cleverideas. It’s really been a pleasure towork with them. They always havesomething original on tap in theway of ideas and innovations. Lastyear it was a kiddie kar race, whichdidn’t work out so well, especiallyfor the helping hand. This year theygot this club relay idea, which seei..to give greater promise of success.After all, it takes the women toreally interest the men in running—when the most they have been do¬ing in the way of training has beena little heavy bridge playing andnapping on the sofa in the frontroom of the fraternity house. Maybea little beer drinking on the sideto help out—near beer of course.It will give us no end of pleasure towatch the boys^get out there andrun. It will be a kind of grim pleas¬ure to be sure, for we’ve done a lit¬tle running ourselves now and then.The girls should really feel flat¬tered. They would if they but knewwhat was going on in their gallantchampion’s stomachs. For experi¬ence tells us that it will be stomachsrather than hearts which will sufferon Friday night.We always will remember thatkiddie kar race last year. I don’t re¬call that the finals of it were everheld. The only time that we knowabout that any kiddie kar race washeld was when one of the photogra¬phers from one of the downtown pa¬pers came out to take pictures. Therace was originally intended to takeplace between such prominent B. M.O. C.’s as the president of the seniorclass, the chairman of the Under¬graduate council and other sterlingluminaries.This photographer was an awfullyenterprising chap. You’ve got tohand it to him for that. He endedup by getting some of the most pre¬sentable of the campus women whowere up there getting their picturestaken as carnival ticket saleswomen,to pose on the kiddie kars. Aboutthis time the helping hand wentdownstairs in Bartlett to arrange forsome posed pictures to be taken inthe trophy room. The enterprisingphotographer led the women up¬stairs to the Intramural office andtook some very edifying pictures ofthem falling off their kiddie kars.The pictures were suppressed afterconsiderable effort. The helpinghand still gets a chill down his backwhen he remembers how near hecame to getting helped out of schoolfor corrupting the innocent girls. Wewish’ our successor and friend Mr.Robert Graf the greatest success withhis publicity and advise him to avoidenterprising photographers.Cities to Dominate,Merriam DeclaresRural dictatorship * over urbancommunities will come to an end inthe United States because of thesweeping trend toward concentra¬tion of population in the cities,Charles E. Merriam, chairman ofthe Department of Political Scienceat the University, has predicted.“For half a century, since the be¬ginning of the modern urban move¬ment, cities have been harshly treat¬ed by the states of which they wereparts,” Professor Merriam says.‘ The tendency toward horn'e rule forcities is steadily advancing, and it isvery significant that constitutionalamendments are being proposedgranting broad powers of local self-government to Chicago and NewYork. ^ —Campus Leaders Support Intramural CarnivalFRIARS’ CONTESTOPENS TO DEPICT‘MR.

This event will close thesocial activities for this quarter, andwill be open to all members of theUniversity. The program will befurnished by Peg Russell, Sam VanDyne and Orvis Henkle,1 The tickets are fifty cents and willbe on sale in the first floor corridorof Cobb hall until Friday. They mayalso be secured from all members ofthe council.At the last meeting of the sopho¬more class, William H. Garvey, pres¬ident, urged the sophomores to takean active interest in class activities.He hoped that this interest wouldbe shown in the attendance at thedance. According to the latest re¬ports from the treasurer, the sopho¬more class is still in need of money.Recorder AllowsLate RegistrationWalter A. Payne, UniversityRecorder, published the followingstatement yesterday:.Students in the Colleges ofArts, Literature and Science whodid not register on the day as¬signed may register on any laterday this week.Tentative registration blanksshould be presented at the timeof registration.Signed,.Walter A. Payne. Urge AttendanceAt Annual SportMeet on FridayCampus leaders united yesterdayin recommending the intramural car¬nival as the focus of interest in thewinter quarter for all undergradu¬ates, and urged a large attendanceat the event, which is to be held un¬der the' direction of the intramuraldepartment next Friday in Bartlettgym.High Spot of Year“The carnival is one of the highspots in the All-University calen¬dar,” said Ray Murphy, president ofthe Undergraduate council. “Thispanorama of sportdom opens with athrilling Avrestling match, whizzesalong through a close boxing bout,and tears around the track in thespeedy dashes; these bits of compe¬tition are interspersed with lightnovelties and vaudeville events. Andthe evening winds up with a dance.”.Virgil Gist, captain of the varsitybasketball team, stopped practicelong enough to say that he was “sin¬cere in his belief that the carnivalis the most enjoyable of All-Univers¬ity events.”Better Than In 1928“From the plans Harry Hagey hasoutlined to me,” declared CharlesWarner, Blackfriars abbot, “I thinkthis year’s I-M carnival will be evenbetter than last year’s. My reactionto the ca.rnival and to the intra¬mural department as a whole is that,although one of the youngest activ¬ities in school, it is nevertheless oneof the most outstanding. It shouldbe a success.”‘HAZEL KIRKE’ TOBE GIVEN FRIDAYBY WILT’S CLASS“Hazel Kirke,” a melodrama of1880 by Steele Mackaye which isto be presented by Assistant Profes¬sor Napier Wilt’s Early Americandrama class is a combination of mel¬odramatic style and high comedy.The old crude staging of the early80’s will be used for the settings.Performances of a similar char¬acter are an annual feature of Pro¬fessor Wilt’s class.

FrankensteinOne addition and two restorationsto the repertory of the Chicago Sym¬phony orchestra made up the bulkof the orchestra’s program yester¬day afternoon at Mandel hall. EricDeLamarter conducted.The new piece is a suite entitled“Marionettes,” by a young ladynamed Barbara Giuranna, whosehusband is an assistant conductor onthe staff of the Chicago Civic Operacompany. The first impression ofit is one of unremarkable mediocri¬ty. It belongs with the pleasant ban¬alities of Cadan or Mrs. Beach inmusic, of Frederic Grant or NeysaMcMein in painting, of What’s-his-name. Thingumbob, and also Yoa-know-who in literature.The restorations were the secondsymphony of Dvorak and a tonepoem of Cesar Franck called “LesEolides.” Neither had been heardhere in years until Mr. Stock resur¬rected them at Orchestra hall someweeks ago. The Franck sim¬ ple; it sounds for all the world likea study for the first movement ofFranck’s symphony; a preliminarysketch somehow finished in form.The Dvorak seemed to prodhce avariety of reactions among the audi¬ence.“Like a Sermon”My own reaction was the kind onehas in listening to a cever preachergive a funeral sermon over the bodyof a nobody. The deceased has beenremarkable for nothing at ‘all, yetthe skill of the minister, while avoid¬ing obviuos falsehood and laudation,manages to put over the idea thatthe deceased is to be missed. One’sattention is called mainly to the cle¬verness of the speaker, while at thesame time one realizes how thin ishis material.Fortunately two masterpieces ofmusic, the overture to the “BarteredBride” and “Siegfried’s Rhine Jour¬ney” from “Goetterdaemerung”were also played, during both zestand nobility to an otherwise unsat¬isfying program.

This jtime it is the country’s educational system that is to be drawn and jquartered—and perhaps constructively criticized—in the columns of |the American Mercury. Mr. Mencken has, it was announced a few ;days ago, decided to sponsor a “chronicling of personal experi- :ences ” contest for students who are graduating from college this jJune,Now there is small doubt that American universities as organ¬ized at present can stand a great deal of this kind of investigation.The nation’s press has of late been overflowing with more or lesslearned and more or less futile treaties on higher education. It iscertainly time that some attention be given to the experiences andreactions of the undergraduates themselves. To find out just whatthe graduate, fresh from the scholastic mill thinks of college^—whether it was time and money well spent, whether four years wereenough—is information of much interest and value.The other main requirement of the contest, “that the name ofthe college, as well as the actual names of the professors discussed,be included in the article submitteed,” is, however, more in linewith the popular Mencken tradition. Handled with anything lessthan the most scrupulous of good taste, this side of the contest islikely to turn a valuable investigation into a mere journalistic side¬show of prejudiced attack and counter-attack between professorand student.Mr. Mencken is said to be gifted with a sense of proportionand an unusual sense of humor along with his highly developedcritical powers. If this remarkable contest is to be any kind of a suc¬cess, Mencken must use extraordinary amounts of each faculty inthe conducting of it.PROMOTING HERO-WORSHIPWhen the effort to retain the picture of a popular hero in th'epublic imagination goes to the length of suppressing importantfacts of his movements, it is time that protests, in the name of truthand common-sense, should be uttered. We give vent to one now.We like Colonel Lindbergh, but we regard him in the light of a hu¬man being. We do not think that it was wise to suppress the movingpicture films and the snapshots taken of his recent airplane acci¬dent. TTieir exhibition would have not done any more harm toLindbergh than to humanize him in the public eye.

One was a tall, flaxen hairedyouth with a curl in his hair and theother was a short dark curly headedlad Both came to the University ofChicago and both have done well inathletics. The first was Virgil Gist,subject of sketch No. 1, and theother is ‘Bob” Kaplan.“Bob” Kaplan despite the factthat he was short has conquered thisobstacle in such a fashion as to en¬title him to a regular po.sition on thebasketball team. He has had tomake up this height handicap by be¬ing faster and more clever than anyof his taller rivals. And there areplenty of tall, cle.'er boys in theBig Ten. This is ‘Bobs” third yearon the cage team and his work thisyear has been excellent. He hasbeen speedy, clever, and done somefine dribbling. His “left handedbucket shot” is already famous.Not only has “Bob” done finework on the cage team but his workon the baseball diamond has beenjust as good. Thjs year Kaplan isCaptain Kaplan of the University ofChicago baseball team, if you plea.se.The new captain is a pitcher and willbe relied upon to bear the bruntof the mound work this season. Forthe last two years ‘Bob’ and Zimmer¬man were the Maroon mound starsbut this year “Bob” is probably theonly reliable pitcher back. Kaplanhas always done fine work on thebaseball tea and his being electedto the captaincy was the natural re¬sult of three hard year’s of work onthe diamond team.Kaplan is a member of Zeta BetaTau and is prominent in many schoolactivities. He is easily one of thebiggest men on the campus.* * *We always knew that Coach Mac-Gillivray’s players were talented in |many lines but we never suspected |them of following in the footstepsof Mary Garden and the late EnricoCaruso.

IRegister at once. .Allied Professional ,Bureaus, Marshall Field .4nnex Bldg, j By Jerome B. StraussAt the conference indoor trackmeet to be held at Iowa City thisFriday and Saturday, the Universityof Chicago aggregation will have abette rchance to make a good show¬ing than it has had for many yearspast The other teams in the con¬ference are all counting on Chicagoas one of the outstanding and ofthe eet threatening squads in theBig Ten.Chicago virtually won the suad-rangular meet held earlier in thesea.son, although because of an in-explainable drop in the pei’foranceof both of the relay teams, whichcould do no better than fourth placealthough they had been consideredas possible winners, they had to besatisfied with second place. Theteam’s showing at this meet cannotbe taken as an indicator of what itwill do in the conference, however,as neither Illinois or Iowa, refutedto be the two stronge.st teams in theentire conference were participat¬ing. As neither of these teams havebeen defeated this sea.son, thy loomup very impressively on the horizonof Maroon hopes.Many Strong ContendersThe Big Ten in general is bles.sedwith very .strong teas this year, therebeing four other potential winners,Wisconsin, Ohio, Michigan, andNorthwestern. The latter team,though not well balanced, is sure oftwo places in the pole vault, withWarne doing well above thirteenfeet, with a couple of very .skilledteam mates to follow him. As all theother conference schools are notice¬ably weak in this respect, those sureplaces ay put the Purple squad inthe running.Chicago’s strongest bids for hon¬ors are Root in the dash. Weaverin the shot, Williams in the half,Haydon in the hurdles, and Lettsin the mile. Brandt, who has turn¬ed in some remarkable times inpractice this year has been singular¬ly unfortunate in his starts so far,and if he is able to overcome thismi.sfortune he may prove to be thesurprise of the meet. mini Prepare For1929 Grid CampaignDown at Champaign CoachZuppke is already preparing forhis 1929 drive for the footballtitle. He has had scrimmages al¬ready and is driving all grid can¬didates at top speed. His squadnow numbers fifty and should bemade much larger in a very fewweeks. The scrimmage consistederely of one eleven remainingcontinually on the offensive. Thellini are favored to take thechampionship this fall, for theyhave many veterans left fromtheir la.st year’s eleven. If Zup¬pke and his squad of vets do comethrough to take the title, it willbe the third consecutive cham¬pion Illinois has won.

The Maroon basketball team, lostin the shuffle of second divisionteams, suddenly sprang into thelimelight yesterday with the discov¬ery that the Norgrenites stand be- !tween Wisconsin and a possible tie ;for the conference basketball cham- Ipionship.As is w'ell known by now, the ;W’olverines clawed their way to a \tie for the championship by trounc¬ing the Badgers for the second sue- 'cessive time. Michigan has finished ■its schedule with ten victories and ;two defeats, while the Badgers are a 'step lower with nine and two.IWhile no one is seriously giving ,Meanwells’ Badgers Saturday, the iChicago squad buckled down to what jpromises to be an intensive week of |practice. Although a victory for the :Maroons would not help their stand- ^ing much in the conference, it would ^be doubly sweet the Badgers wouldbe knocked out of a possible tie for 'the championship. :Some of the Maroon piayers aresporting a few bruises as a remind¬er of the Minnesota fray.
