“COMPLETECAMPUSCOVERAGE*’Vol. 28. No. 84. Batlp iHlaroon Vole for your cam¬pus idol.UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, WEDNESDAY, APRIL. 10, 1929 Price Five CenteThe Blind AlleyBjr Louis H. EficelCollege journalists are a lucklesslot. The comparative comfort of thefrying pan is an unknown luxury tothese perverted souls wKb grow oldalong with Grief in the conflagrationof fontumely and criticism. Fre¬quently they are impaled on thegreat spit. Circumstance, and par¬boiled between the unjust blasts offaculty and student criticism, but Isuppose even more frequently theyincrease their own discomfiture bylighting the fagots of injudiciouscomment that they themselves havebrought. (Apologiae pro Goodmantheatre).Such has been my error and suchmy reward. It was last Friday thatwithin this space, source of manifoldmisdemeanors, I felt moved to writeat length on the insufficiency of col¬lege students’ intellectual life andattributed my inspiration to Profes¬sors James Weber Linn and PhillipSchuyler Allen. During the courseof yesterday morning’s lecture hourit occurred very forcibly to me thatMr. Linn did not appreciate servingas the inspiration of the aforemen¬tioned remarks which I accredited tohim, and hence before any suit forbreach of promise, alienation of af¬fections, or libel is instituted I has¬ten to take upon my own muchmaligned shoulders the whole guiltof the accusation. I did it all withmy little Underwood.I suppose that whatever plea forclemency I might make would rest onthe basis of my misunderstanding ofMr. Linn’s remarks. Some commentanent the industry of college stu¬dents was passed which in my sourframe of mind I misinterpreted andgrossly twisted to serve my own fellends, and now Mr. Linn, who insiststhat he has a very high respect forthe intellectual accomplishments ofundergraduates, quite logically re¬sents having such statements asmine accreditted to him. So with abow to Mr. Linn we (editorially)squirm out the back draft of an¬other fiery furnace.No group of students of my know-edge has pulled down upon theirthoughtless heads so much of griefand trouble as the small coterie ofwriters in this .school. And theshades of John Allison, Milt Mayerand Vic Roterus may be heard towhisper a soft “Amen."The same is true in any Americanuniversity where freedom of expres¬sion is demanded by the students.The incident involving the “HowardLampoon" is perhaps the best illus¬tration in point. That administra¬tion officers of the University shouldhave exercised some control in orderto preserve its own name and repu¬tation is reasonable enough, but atthe same time too high a premiumcannot be placed on the free andfearless expression of honest opin¬ion. The world at large may well baconvicted of the charges of Bab¬bitry and any radical minority, whichfinds its most adequate expression inthe press, should be cherished asthe leaven of the lump. College pro¬vides, perhaps, the only place inwhich one may frankly rent hisspleen and any gag-rule would bemost unfortunate.The University of Chicago hasbeen fair enough in its dealingswith Undergraduate publicationsthough wise boys like to sitaround, nurture their " prejudices,and augment their prestige with diretales of the suppression of the Phoe¬nix and the expulsion of various andsundry literary gentlemen. Thereare, of course, strings tied to pub¬lications, though nothing amountingto censorship.But the college journalist will inall probability forever steer his pre¬carious course between the Scylla ofmechanical difficulties and the Char-of administrative control. WHO IS CAMPUS BEAU BRUMMELL?University Team Outdebates HarvardTRIO DEFENDINGMODERN WOMENGAINS VICTORYGreatwood^ Pidot» Vet¬ter, SuccessfullyUphold NegativeThe University’s self-coached de¬bating team bested Harvard’s teamlast night in Mandel hall^on the sub¬ject “Is Emancipated Woman aCurse?’’, according to a decision ofthe audience awarding 333 votes tothe local trio against 144 for Har¬vard. The meeting was the first in¬tercollegiate matching of mind formind in a clash of ideas, which theUniversity has undertaken for twoyears.‘‘Copy of Man"Stigmatizing modern woman as a“second-hand copy of man," the Har¬vard team, the affirmative side, bas¬ed their brief on both philosophicaland socio-economic tendencies iden¬tified with feminine emancipation,and in their opinion, certain to ex¬ercise detrimental e'/ects on societyas a whole. In the freedom of wom¬an man has lost the sole steadyinginfluence restraining him fram ma¬terialism, they argued. In addition,it was their belief that the influx ofwomen into industry was increas¬ing unemployment, and that womenwere forgetting their marital obli¬gations to pursue a career.For Modern WomenTlie University presented the ar¬gument that future progress of so¬ciety is contingent on encouragingthe emancipation of women, that thesex which once, was uniformly de¬voted to scrubbing floors now is,through participation in industry,adding to the countrys wealth, andfinally that the problems whichemancipation has posed to women,are advantageous since they are in¬tellectual and fruitful stimulations.The University team was com¬posed of Leonard Greatwood, GeorgePidot, and Donald Vetter; the Har¬vard team, of Brooks Otis, JacksonHurd and J. Mack Swigert. J. S. Dickerson,Friend of Harper,Is Seventy-SixJ. Spncer Dickerson, one of thepioneers of the University, was sev¬enty-six years old yesterday. Mr.Dickerson has been editor of theUniversity Record and member of theBoard of Trustees for eighteen ofthe past twenty years.Intimate friend of the first presi¬dent of the University, William Rai¬ney Harper, when the latter was in¬structor of Hebrew et the MorganPark academy, he joined in the vi¬sion of a fifty million dollar univer¬sity. His one gratification has been,he says, that he has lived to see thisaspiration fulfilled.Saw First PlantHe saw the first conception of theUniversity in the Central Music Hallat the present site of the'MarshallField Building. Marshall Field I andhis wife were guests at the cere¬mony.He was assistant editor of theStandard, a Baptist publication,working under Dr. Justin Smith. Atthis office early University officialscame for their mail; and it was herethat the University was actuallyformed. Since then he has workedunder all four president.The first attempt was made in1886 when John D. Rockefeller wasinduced to donate $600,000 provid¬ing $400,000 more could be raised.Dr. Dickerson is still active andVigorous at his advance age andmade no celebration on his birthday. ‘BEAU BRUMMELL’ CONTEST BALLOTJUNIOR CLASSIn my honest opinion SENIOR CLASSIn my honest opinionis mose deservingon the basis ofBEAUTY AND DRESSto receiveThe Daily Maroon‘‘BEAU BRUMMELL*’PRIZE is mose deservingon the basis ofBEAUTY AND DRESSto receiveThe Daily Maroon“BEAU BRUMMELL”PRIZE“Beau Bruram^’’ Contestants To GetHaircuts in Interests of ScienceNELSON COMMENTSON ROBERT FROSTPOET, LECTURER“No other author either in poetryor prose has the tragedy and comedyof country life so at heart as Rob¬ert Frost," said Professor B.

Nel¬son of the English department incharacterizing the poet who will lec¬ture in Mandel hall Thursday nightunder the auspices of the WilliamVaughan Moody foundation.“Frost has followed the moderntrend by turning from formalism torealism," said Mr. Nelson. “Frost il¬lustrates his conception of reali^by telling of the farmers who thinkthat by mixing much dirt with po-tates they make real potatoes whilethe function of art, in his opinion,is to brush the potatoes clean andthereby serve real potatoes. Ih thissense he claims to be a realist."“His success as a poet does notnecessarily insure his success as alecturer and since many poets donot appear to advantage on the plat¬form it will he well not to expect toomuch from Bobert Frost who prob¬ably is no exception to the rule."

Free haircuts for the prospectivewinners of The Daily Maroon “BeauBrummell" contest have been an¬nounced by Prof. Fay-Cooper Coleof the Sociology department in theinterests of science. Ten radiantlocks, each five milimeters long, com¬pose the delicate tonsorial brush-upgiven the contestants in the privatebarber shop of the Anthropology de¬partment.Aside from in any way enhancingthe beauty and appearance of thesubjects, the specimens secured willbe used in a study bf r^icial differ¬ences, conducted for the past threeyears by the Sociology department.Hairs of Mesopotamians and Aus¬tralians have already been ^secured,and a shipment is expectfed fromHaiti. The purpose of asking Univer¬sity students is to secure a represen¬tative group whose ancestry andrace are known, and also to indicate the differences between adult andadolescent hair.“This work is very slow, but webelieve it promises great results,’’said Prof. Cole. “Great care must betaken with each individual hair, as itis washed three times, then cut,weighed and measured, and the re¬sults compiled.”Y.

A“Beau Brummell’’. contest to deter¬mine the handsomest and best-dressed junior and senior has beenlaunched by The Daily Maroon.In conceiving the contest. TheDaily Maroon has taken the cut giv¬en by “College Humor” with itsmonthly page of handsome men. Thesachems managing it already con¬template challenging other universi¬ties in this country, and perhaps inthe Far East, to match the choicesmade by undergraduates here.Ballot-Box ExpertsA form ballot appears in the col¬umn to the left, and the way thethe winds blows as the contest prog¬resses will daily be indicated by spe¬cial article. The ballot box is lo¬cated in The Daily Maroon office, al¬though every member o^f the staff isauthorized to accept ballots.And at noon on April 30, the cur¬tain will fall on the contest, to risethe following morn on the blushes ofthe Winner. Supervised by Profes¬sor Jerome G. Kerwin, the count willbe made the afternoon the contestclose, at 3:30 in Harper Mil. Thehonor commission will be present tocheck the votes.Prizes equivalent to One HundredDollars for the winning senior andSeventy-Five Dollars for the junior,are to be awarded, it was stated atThe Daily Maroon office.Leaders Favor ItComments made last night byleaders of the Campus reflected aremarkable unanimity of feeling infavor of the new contest. The re¬porter didn’t notice whether theywere handsome or not.“I feel that the *Beau Brummell’contest will succeed in arousing theold school spirit which has made theUniversity of Chicago doniinantlycollegiate instead of educational. Iam gratified. Culture will be ex¬tended; intellects widened, broaden¬ed, and deepened, the ”—and LouisH. Engel, editor of the paper, leftsuddenly to call Beecher hall.“The decision to limit the contestto juniors and seniors was wise; low-erclassmen haven’t had time to de.-velop,” was the grave comment ofNicholas Matsoukas.

Spring freshens one, enlivensone to the surroundngs, makes one aware of what is what and whatis not what. Quite naturally, with all things standing forth in thisnew clearness like a dancer who hcis discarded a seventh' veil, thereb nothing to do but take notice of them. And that explains whyhousewives, even meek housewives, begin to see the winter’s dustabout the middle of April.Our editorial, however, is not concerning itself with housewives, nor with a theory to explain the house-cleaning complex. Itis simply using these observations eis an entrance into a far deepersubject: namely, the flaws which the searching probe of the newseason have disclosed in the University. To correct those flawswould be, of course, closely akin to house-cleaning. For is notthe University our house (pro tern)? It is. And the cleaning, wehope, will eventually follow; but there is the necessity of first dis¬covering what should be cleaned, and since we’ve made certaindiscoveries in that regard, we’ll content ourselves for -the presentwith listing them.We have noticed (1) that the great, gangling light-postswhich stand about the campus, notably the one staring acrossHutchinson Court, are of an excessive ugliness. They have noshades on their hideous selves and, like twisted bean-poles with Cy¬clopean eyes, they light up vast areas over which they hold tyran¬nical sway. If their function is to produce light, they perform itwith a vengeance, but neither as gracefully nor as practically as dothe very handsome lamps scattered here and there; lamps such asstand beside Hutchinson Cloister. These great sticks with theirshameless bulbs were ugly enough during the winter. But in springthey are blasphemous.We have noticed (2)* that the campus view of the Chapelmust include that pathetic structure, Lexington Hall. We are awareof the ultimate intention to remove it, so we’ll confine our remarksto a mention. And we wish the intention God-speed and success¬ful culmination.We have observed (3) that the University’s tennis courts num¬ber no more and no less than eighteen, a ridiculously small numberconsidering that tennis is by all odds the most popular spring sportand that there are a large number of residents eager to play it. Inaddition to this deplorable fact, the courts may not be used on Sun¬day. We are aware here of no utimate intention either to increasethe number of courts or to permit Sunday playing. There is groundsouth of the Midway, owned by the University, which' might wellsolve the first problem; and there is at leaist some common sensenorth of the Midway which might well solve th'e second. The mat¬ter of tennis courts and Sunday playing has arisen before and, atleast in our experience, with no resultant action. Therefore we asksome; and we ask not in tentative wrath but in well-denned curi-ousity.

Few Veto Out ForSpring Football • Prac¬tice.The TempestWhen 3500 people crowded intoBartlett Gymnasium at various timeslast week, and as many more wereturned away without gaining admit¬tance the need for a largr gymna¬sium—a field house—became once'4more quiet apparent.Thursday afternoon while work¬ing in the press coop we were sud¬denly aroused by the entrance of anextremely peppy young man who pro¬ceeded to inform us that he wasfrom the Rock Island Argus and thathe wanted some features on thetournament. Well, we handed theaffable chap enough features to sat¬isfy even the Rock Island Argus andthen we let him ask us a few ques¬tions. Imagine my embarassment, oris it chagrin when this heretoforpleasant reporter asked us where thebig gym was at. And when he un¬derstood that Bartlett was the onlyone we had, he gave us a look thatmade us wish we were at any otherinstitution in the Conference, out¬side of Chicago. And what hurts isthat all this came from a Rock Is¬lander.But despite our personal chagrinat what had occurred, the thing thathurt was that why should a Univer¬sity the size of our own, have mere¬ly one little out-of-date gymnasium.Our small building to take care ofall varsity and intramural sports isof course entirely inadequate. Thatthe need for a new field house hasbeen felt is shown by the fact thata few moons ago ground was brok¬en for the erection of a new fieldhouse of such size and magnificenceas to be marvelled at throughout thecivilized world and the United Statestoo.Right now it looks like they brokeground so that the sun might showon the worms’ backs or maybe thatsomeone should be able to sell theUniversity a little gold shovel withwhich to turn over a little earth fora big field house. Now what hap¬pened to this edifice that was to beerected to sportdom we do not evenpretend to know. The money wasprobably given for the erection ofthe Chapel. Or maybe for anotherchapel that is to be built. That thegymnasium at this institution isabout the worst in the Conferenceneeds no further comment. Thatnothing is being done to get a newon© DOES NEED COMMENT.The gymnasium even at present isscarcely equipped to handle intra¬mural athletics alone. That it is toosmall for big events has ben re¬peatedly shown at past Interscholas¬tics when three and four times asmany people stormed the entrance asBartlett could possibly hold. Thisyear thousands were turned awayagain, and thousand more didn’teven bother to come because theyknew they couldn't get in anyhow.It is about time that this Univer¬sity get a field house that can prop¬erly handle the athletic affairs thatshould be taken care of by an insti¬tution of this size.FRATERNITYJEWELRY STATIONERYDANCE FAVORSSpies Brothers, Inc.27 E.

Thisyear’s program includes a dual meetwith Indiana at Bloomington onApril 20, the Penn Relays at Phil¬adelphia and the Drake Relays atDes Moines on April 27, the OhioRelays at Columbus on May 4 anda dual met with Purdue at Chicagoon May 11. The Maroon trackmenwill also be entered in a quadranglermeet the following Saturday and willbring the season to a close when theystrive for conference honors atNorthwestern.Few New MenVery few additions have beenmade to the personnel of the teamfor the current season. Weaver,Klein and Boesel the lanky basketeerof late, will represent the Midwayaggregation in the hammer throw.Wattenberg, the bespeckled gridder,’will heave the javelin and Cohen,Klein and Boesel will tackle the dif¬ficulties of the discus. Relwitch, whocame from the U. of Michigan lastyear will be an asset to the team inthe discus, shot and hammer. Cohen,Weaver and Klein compose the shotputting squad. In the pole vault,'Cowley alone is available and thesituation is pretty much the same inthe hig jump with Frey the onlyhermit.Although Root is the only man ofnote in the broad jump, neverthelessthree others, Haydon, Cotton andWeiss are expected to do things.“Norm” does around 22 feet whilethe others have been doing 20 orbetter.Sprinters StrongA likely array of talent is prepar¬ing to dispute honors in the sprints.The regular sprinters Root, East,Brand and Cotton will have to dosome fast stepping in order to setaside the enterprising cinder speed¬sters in Gumm, Collier, Nebel, Weissand FYeid. The 220 wil Ibe nego¬tiated by Cotton, KlaEtsen and Gumm and the quarter mile by Schultz,Hathaway, Livingingston and Gist.Incidentally throe of these mencomprised the mile relay at the Tex¬as Relay carnival recently, whichset a new record. Capt. Williams,Teitelman and Harlacher will alter¬nate in both half mile and mile runs.In the mile are Letts who almost beatAbbott of Illinois in a blanket fin¬ish at Minnesota last week, Wexmanthe former Gopher, Holt and Brain-ard. Wexman, Jackson and Brainardwill try the two mile gprind.“Hal” Haydon of Phi Bete fameleads the groups of hurdlers in theoutdoor season. Kramer, Valentineand Cunningham are also proficientin the art of brushing over the tim¬bers. Collier will dire^’t his attentionto the low hurdlers alone. Hayden isdetermined to ‘grasp the laurelsfrom Cuhel of Iowa who took a thirdin the last Olympics.Hooiiert PowerfulThe Indiana team that Chicagowill face April 20, is far superior tothe Hoosier squad that was' over¬whelmed by the Maroons last year.They have been reinforced by menin the high jump, sprints and'hurdlesso that the events in which theywere decisively beaten last year arenow to be hotly contested. Todd whotook all around honors at Texas re¬cently, Abramson, the 440 man andDelvine the miler who beat Williamslast year are back as are Rinehati;the renown javelin thrower and themile relay team that won at the Ohiorelays last year.According to reports, Indiana hasbeen blessed with beautiful weatherin the past few weeks, while Chicagorunners have to wade in the mud orwhat have you. Coach Merriamhopes that this factor will not provea serious handicap to hit men but asyet the runners are not getting thefull benefit of their training. Onemay be quite sure of the predictionthat the Indiana-Chicago dual meetwill be of the nip and tuck variety. I. M. DepartmentPlans CompetitionIn Swim RelaysThe spring quarter is with us andwith it comes the spring Intramuralsports.
