“COMPLETECAMPUSCOVERAGE*’ Wtie Batlp iRaraon Spurs jingle to closeformal season.Vol. 28. No. 89. UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO. FRIDAY, APRIL 19. 1929 Price Five CentsThe Blind AlleyBy Louis H. EufolAnd tonight's Military Ball pre¬sages the end of the open season forformal dress around the Universityaad since today’s sheet quite custom¬arily has no space in which to allowour accredited society editor, MissAlice Torrey, to disport herself, TheDaily Maroon clientele will perforcehave to accept this impromptu obit¬uary as the untimely end of anothersocial season.I suppose one should remark thatit was a distinctively "successful”season . . . it’s usually done . . .but since I wouldn’t know a success¬ful social program when I saw it,you either have to take it on faithor Bob Fisher’s word that it wasmarkedly successful. After all. Bob,who, you remember, strolled aroundthe South Shore hardwood in the vanof some four hundred other-formallybedecked couples last February, hascertain qualifications which eminent¬ly fit him for the decision of a socialcritic.And incidentally speaking of R.W. F. I am reminded of variousqueries from certain of his admirersrelative to his position in the "BeauBrummell” contest. It’s this way.Bob, you know, is a charitable soul,and not wishing to win the hundreddollar prize himself has thrown allhis ballots to Harry Hagey or NickMatzoukas or some other poor hom-bre that might need them. ’’Anywaypeople might talk,” he said.But to get back to the social sea¬son, it might have been scintillatingand successful and all of that, butI’ll never know. The most and theleast that I know about it is that itwas darned enjoyable. Simple soulslike myself don’t attempt to passcritical judgment, or speak "excathedra” without being ordained a"bishop,” as Frank H. O’Hara wouldhave it. We either like a thing or wedon’t, and I happen to like the In¬terfraternity ball and the WashingtonProm, and I have a sneaking sus¬picion that I shall like the MilitaryBail. Of the three the Military Ballis by all means the most coloi-ful—brass buttons, dress uniforms, boots,spurs, sabres and much clicking ofheels—military smartness par excel¬lence. And of course there is thetraditional arch of "Sabres andRoses” for the grand march, headedby Cadet Nebel and Peterson andtheir partners in pageantry, theMisses Hartord and Eckhart. I sup¬pose to fulfil the role of pseudo-so¬ciety editor I should give a detaileddescription of how the two girls willarray themselves, but since I don’tknow crepe-de-chine from cheese¬cloth or tulle from tarpaulin . . .not to mention other intricacies offeminine attire . . I had best pleadincompetency. Anyway, I dare saythat from observation and inferenceDorothy and Charlotte will be gown¬ed to the satisfaction of all partiesconcerned. ., .But to return to the note whichwe originally sounded, presuming ofcourse that such there was, it seemsto me that the all-University socialprogram is all too brief. The threemajor events have been well sup- 'ported in recent years and such pat¬ronage augurs well for the successof a fourth. The inter-class hop inlate spring formerly rounded out theyear adequately and if abandonedmay not have been altogether neces¬sary. I am no prophet of how thewhims of society blow, but it seemsthat the reestablishment of such aformal would be timely and well re¬ceived by the campus prom-trotter.A noble experiment at least.* « *However, "Lord for tomorrow andits needs I do not pray,“ I’m satis¬fied just with today.

FORMAL SEASONCOMES TO CLOSEAT SOUTH SHOREArmy Boys Go Back onPromise; Don SpursFor OccasionContest ClosesDismiss Classes' On False AlarmClasses in Cobb were uncermoni-iously dismissed yesterday at 11:40by the ringing of the fire alarm. Astudent noticing the burning roof ofthe University general "FSx ’em”house, situated on Drexel Avenue,rang the alarm in Cobb instead ofcalling the fire department by phone.Professor.s and students hurriedlyleft the building in response to asupposed fire drill, and they neglect¬ed to return.Yesterday afternoon the duskyframe house on the corner of 6^thand Drexel seemed little the worsefor its morning experience. Theworkmen employed in the building Professor T. V. Smith stepped overa big grey cat as he mounted theplatform of his American Philosophyclass yesterday. "While studyingAmerican Philosophy, we shall havean opportunity to observe felinephilosophy,” he remarked.Commenting on the incident la¬ter, he said, "I tried to treat thecat with all consideration, but itdid me the compliment of sleepingsoundly throughout my lecture.”Some of the students suggested thatit might have been used as a modelby Profes.sor Edward F. Rothschild’sart class, but the suggestion was notconfirmed.knew nothing of the fire until it waspointed out to them, and were quiteoiftimistic concerning the results. Thehole which the firemen had choppedin the roof can only be seen fromthe back yard so people looking froma respectable angle can still believethe house to be quite whole.

The Phoenix struck what we believe to bethe rock-bottom in college comic publication. There was a com¬plete absence of palatable contents, and what material was in themagazine had every appearance of having been inserted by a drunkblind-man and proof-read by an Australian bushman. The Phoenixhas been on a definite decline since some months ago, characterizedby the lack of an editor or any unified guiding hand whatsoever,and by monthly, and foolish, changes of policy. But it has notpresaged at any time the abyssmal depths to which the last issue fell.If the reason for the negative quality of this year’s Phoenixlies in the fact that its editor has forsaken it, we advance the in¬genious recommendation that it get itself an editor. At presentit is attempting to navig^ate under the leadership of the business mamager and the assistant art editor, who are admirably qualified forthe performance of their chosen professions but are not so equippedfor editorial meuiagement. If the reason lies in a shortage of suit¬able material, we recommend that what sources there are, and thereare some, be drained to the dregs. And if none rsults then, wesuggest that at least a decent make-up be attained to and maintainedThere is no reason to suppose that the University won’t receiveThe Phoenix. It has been received in the past, notably under theeditorship of John Allison two years ago, and it will be in thefuture if anything more than a catalogue of stale jokes is offered.Tb'e covers, even this year, have been excellent, and the art work isnormally good. But there is nothing else to recommend the mag¬azine. And if its present downward trend is not violently altered,we do not see how there can be any magazine at all by the end ofthe year. On the basis of sales, at least, there won’t be.NOTHING SUCCEEDS UKE SUCCESSFor some reason the Military Ball rarely is accorded the ex¬tensive publicity that goes hand in hand with the Washington Prom¬enade, the Interfraternity affair, and any one of a number of kindredevents. But somehow it manages to get itself held each year withastounding success, publicity or no publicity. It is, to be sure, theimportant social event of the Spring Quarter, but that can mean littlein a University that likes nothing better than to scorn importantsocial events; and the fact that it is attractive by virtue of its mil¬itaristic atmosphere can hardly be the whole explanation for itspopularity. We are of the opinion that it is popular because it hasbeen popular in the past; and that it has been popular in the past;and that it has been popular because it’s consistently been a goodparty; in other words, nothing succeeds like success.This evening the 1929 version of the Miltary Ball will be heldat the South Shore Country Club with Ted Fiorito and his Edge-water Beach Hotel Orchestra playing. There will be homely andinteresting decorations bearing out some sort of a military motif; andeveryone that wants to will dance around about and in under crossedsabers. And somehow, everyone who goes will like it all and sayit’s better than last .year’s, which-most people thought was betterthan the one of the year* before, and so on ad infinitum. We rec¬ommend strongly that you try the Military Ball if you haven’t yettried one; if you have, ^bur recommendation is quite needless.

APRIL 19, 1929WEEKLY REVIEWes on Society and the Arts for the Well-InformedBy Paul LockHnNoted specialists have at sundrytimes declared with alarm that manis becoming more effeminate with ad¬vancing years of our modern civiliza¬tion. “Say not so," we shout, but ’ti>true. Why, before long the Univer¬sity will see red-blooded men on cam¬pus, men with hair on their chest who—pluck their eye brows, shave theirlegs and talk in the falsetto of Shakes¬peare’s “shrew.” Why do men do this—why? Blackfriars is the answer ofcourse.Sneak in the back door of MandelHall with me and let’s watch the boysglide through their scenes as they re¬hearse for the colorful pageantryknothi M Blackfriars.There is a spirit which seems topermeate the very atmosphere ofMandel Hall as one watches the re¬hearsal. It is a spirit which lends zestand what not: Donald MacDonaldin, the director of the production,has an enthusiasm which is typicallycollegiate, which radiates the spiritand pep characteristic of BlackfriarsThis “MacDonald” spirit of youth islike an epidemic. The cast has a goodattack of it. But enough of this patter-^n with the show.As the curtain goes up here comesthe all male pony ballet. It is hotin the hall and sweat drips frompursed brows. “Hop up! Skip! Hopup! Skip!’’ sings MiacDonald as theboys kick in intricate steps. Occasionally a foot gets loose, or lost, andfinds itself in the ipocket of somebodyelse’s coat. Or perchance somebodyslips on an imaginary banana peel-but the dance goes on and the boysare learning fast.The songs written for Blackfriarsproduction are knock-outs. When thefeminine but not effeminate men sing“College Night,” “Connie the CampusQueen,” or “Midway Shuffle” you’llwear your heels oyt tapping the floorto its enticing rhythm and melody.This song “Connie the CampusQueen” will 'be a hit in big time andprobably will take the place held bythe ancient songs “Collegiate” and“Freshman.”Don’t reach for your hat checks forhere come some of the charactersketches from Blackfriars 1929;Adolph Rubinsor, as Consuelo Pat¬terson the “campos queen,” and Law¬rence Smith, as Polly Parker, Con-suelo’s sister in Mortarboard, have theprincipal feminine leads. Their voices,as for representing a woman’s sooth¬ing tone sound more like a peroxideblonde’s whisky tenor.There is an exaggerated Jewishscene in which A1 Reiwitch and Sid-new Levine are going to leave theaudience in a critical condition fromlaughter.The women on campus will be sur¬prised to hear that a feverish lovescene' between Norman Jorgensen, asHamilton Courtney, and ConsueloPatterson, played by Adolph Rubin-son,. falls flat, for really, the boys actas if they had had no experience. Tsk!Tskl But practice makes perfect. Butwho’s perfect?The impersonation of a professor byBill „ Davis is excellent. When hecomes on stage and does his act, youmechanically reach for pencil and pa¬per in anticipation of a quiz.One of the scenes is an intimatepeep into the life of Foster Hall. Whosaid. “I’ll Uke two?”Pr^ettor HarperOutlines Means ofSoviet PropagandaAn means of educational and cul¬tural development have been coor¬dinated in a propaganda machine bythe Soviet government to foster itspolitical and economic theories, Prof.Samuel N. Harper, says in his boak,“Civic Training in Soviet Russia,”University Press.Radio, motion pictures, and, evenwhidt has Just been published by themusic are Mme of the chief meansfor the government to'educate themasses to communistic beliefs. And so he thanks me now and, thenFor little things I give.But that I let him break my heairtWas his prerogative.Celia.Delegates Go toGeneva MeetingDelegates from the University un¬der the leadership of Mir. M. D. Mc¬Lean, assistant to Dean Gilkey, willattend the 1929 Lake Geneva Stu¬dent Conference which has for thir¬ty-nine years attracted students ofthe Middle West. The importanceof the development of personality tothe college man is being stressed atthe 1929 Confeience. The 9-Statecampus, as College Camp, Wisconsin,is called, will open its sessions thisyear on June 12 and continue themfor eight days.Harrison S. Elliott, professor ofreligious education and psychologyat Union Theological Seminary, NewYork, has been commissioned by thestudent committee drafting plans forthe conference to develop a coursein “The Psychology of Personality.”Recognized as an international au¬thority in his specialty of relating re¬ligion and psychology to life. Prof.Elliott has enjoyed a brilliant andvaried career since his graduation atOhio Wesleyan. His books are wide¬ly known, especially “How Jesus MetLife Questions,” “The Bearing ofPsychology Upon Religion,” and “TheProcess of Group Thinking.”Exports on sp^ial phases of thegeneral public will assist Prof. El¬liott in his course and in special, in¬formal discussion groups where thegenius of the conference is most evi¬dent. Mrs. Grace Toucks Elliott, hiswife, who is a specialist on problemsof mens and women’s relationshipsand the co-author of an amazinglyfrank book published in March, willassist in the study of this phase ofthe development of personality.Goodwin B. Watson, a graduate(Continued on page 4)Positions OfferedTo University MenStudents of the Floating Univers¬ity who distinguish themselves intheir studies while traveling aroundthe world, will be assisted in obtain¬ing suitable positions after their re¬turn home, according to announce¬ments recently made.The University is establishing aplacement Bureau which will attemptto place the right man in the rightposition in^international corporations,in consubr and diplomatic services,and various other activities wheretraining on an international scale isof value.This service will be free to thosewho are awarded Floating Universitydegrees of Master of Arts, Bachelorof Arts, and Bachelor of World Af¬fairs, or the Floating University Cer¬tificate.

The (potentates whoframed it affirm that it does not findits place there to fill up an otherwiseuseless three inches of space, but itrepresents in some way a sort rulewhich help up to the amount of progress attained by the University, graph¬ically records the pace of the AlmaMater.The rate of progress recorded thusfar must certainly give the printer afair hope of leaving the masthead justas it is forever, for only one plank-and a minor one advocating the unionof the two Sophomore honorary soci¬eties—has been eliminated to markits realization. The rest mirror a de¬plorable standstill! Among themNumber Two: “Application of re¬search principles and abolition ofgrades for Senior college students”still stares us in the face, the realization of which would 'be perhaps theeasiest of all and result in the greatest benefit.With an accusing frequency wehear complaints interspered withyawns (such as appeared in this column yesterday) that this business ofcramming the cerebrum full of mentalruffage is an awfully boring process.Small wonder. The popular concep¬tion of learning seems to be by im¬bibing verbatim what is flung at usfrom the mouths of professors and thepages of textbooks, digesting it as wellas possible around examination time,and promptly relegating it to the re¬mote recesses of our brain as soon asthe Recorder shows a gfreen light onthe aspects of the quarter’s work.No more interest can be worked upin the student that way than can beworked up in a blotter, no matter howgood it is at absorbing. Interest liesin creative work, denied at present tothe Undergraduate, for the simple rea¬son that he has not as yet acquiredthat ten-dollar piece of vellum. Justwhy that should erect a barrier aroundknowledge and leave him yawning athis sorry lot is one of the inexplicablemysteries that keep the present edu¬cational system in its primeval age.* * VTurning to the second phase of theplank which dovetails neatly into thefirst we find the same eyesore. Thistime it is not a glimpse at severalthousand drowsy wayfarers, but at ahurrying, ruthless mob in which dag¬gers are out for elusive grades whileknowledge sits complacently by thesidelines totally undisturbed. Theman who gets an A prizes it morehighly than if he knew the real con¬tent of the course. It is the symbolhe is after and not intrinsic value.In reality it is a rather inane con¬ception. Everyone knows that theprofessor is not a Delphic oracle andthat he more or less takes a stab atwhat he thinks is your worth. Nowfor the simple reason that we attenda course for the purpose of acquiringits content and not witnessing a pag¬eant of riddles expounded by the pro¬fessor in the matter of guessing atgrades, the grades are barriers to theprogress of a good student. Someway of telling a student that he isfit for promotion without involvinghim in a gang war and injuring hisand every one else’s feelings ought tobe found!

He rewrote it threetimes. He wrote the last half inAngora Turkey, in a crude hotel roomsitting next to an iron stove. Heworked on other parts in Rome, Gen¬eva, Stockholm, Paris—sometimes invillages, sometimes on railroad trains;he still had the manuscrip with himon a donkey in Albania, on a longmotor car trip in Macedonia and Bul¬garia and he worked on the seconddraft of the novel in a sleigh in St.Moritz. “I’ve certainly worked onthe manuscript in aeroplanes a halfdozen times,” he says. “The final draft,however, was all written in Moscowthis summer.”Mr. Gunther is roving correspond¬ent for the Chicago Daily News.

JohnRiddell does just that. He has a giftlor absorbing an author’s style. First,he mimics the victim and then he sub¬stitutes his own incidents.Everything is said very gravelv. De-cidely so. But underneath, there is asnicker that is contagious. Some cal>Riddell’s cynicism irreverance, but irreverence” probable refers to his re¬fusal to take seriously all that authorsfor three groups of juveniles: the firstgroup will include books for girls andboys ranging from eight to twelveyears of age; the second group willbe limited to boys from twelve to six¬teen and the third group for girls thesame age. This division is purely ex¬perimental and if experience showsthat a new grouping is advisable otherarrangements will be made.To introduce his book with each ofthe separate short papers, Riddelladopts the style of Trader Horn, thin¬ly disguised as Trade Riddell. In thatrole he gets in a few shots that hemight otherwise not been able to in¬clude. There is, moreover nothing sub¬tle about the titles: “A Stepson of theGrandfather of Mother India Replies,”“Strange Interview,” “The Man WhoKnew Sinclair Lewis” and so on.As mentioned before, the most re¬markable thing about the book is Rid¬dell’s talent for adopting another’sstyle. Sinclair’s favorite vocabularlyfor his characters is particularly real¬istic. Then there is the slight matterof ridiculing Miss Mayo’s “authentic”book, “Mother India.” Riddell’s sug¬gestions are probably as sensible asMiss Mayo’s, though they are franklyexaggerated. Biographies of famousmen come in for their share of satire.Supposedly dramatic; assuredly ideal¬ized. For example, Riddell substitutes(Continued on page 4)Cowhey’s Men Shop1001-03 £.

Thesewill include e>nly the most enlightenedand least dogmatic authorities whocan be found, the authority varyingwith the nature of the subject of thebook.The Managing Editor of the JuniorLiterary Guild will be Miss KatherineUlrich, an authority on juveniKbooks. Miss Ulrich’s experience em¬braces a practical knowledge of thepublishing and retailing of children’sbooks. In the bookshops of hermother, Dr. Mabel Ulrich, and in theChildren’s Bookshop of Marion Cut¬ter of New York, she acquired exper¬ience in the buying and selling of ju¬venile books, and in the publishingfirm of Coward, McCann, Inc., shewas in complete charge of the juveniledepartment.OFF THE PRESS(Continued from page 3)what he thinks ought to be said aboutthe subject. He gives in pompousstyle an anecdote about Wilson, inwhich he eulogizes the great diplom¬acy of that leader in both football andlater in public life. He, in a gamewith Yale, was first to grab the ball,and threatened to let the air out of itunless the opposing team would con¬sent to give the game to Princeton.They finally compromised by givingDr. Dora Nevelo£F-BoderTelephone Plaza 5571Surgeou Dentist1401 East 57th StreetCor.

Even the intro¬duction and the note on the print aretake-offs of something or other. Theillustrations, very much in keepingwith the book, are done by the futur¬istic—3or something equally modernartist, Covarrubias. Of them, the onesof Eugene O’Neil and Sinclair Lewisare unusually good.Meaning No Offence is bittersweet,more bitter than sweet. It is exag¬gerated and at times distinctly low¬brow. But it is above all, funny andgay always.ARCHAEOLOGISTTELLS METHODSOF EXCAVATION“Digging up Ancient Cities” willbe the subject of a lecture by Pro¬fessor Grant Showerman of theUniversity of Wisconsin tonight at8:15 in Classics 10.

Atthe University of Kansas where hun¬dreds of superb athletes will assem¬ble to tease Old Man Time, Chicago’scinder stars are expected to give agood account of themselves.When one investigates the per¬sonnel of the team, he will realizethat the Maroon men are capable ofgiving Chicago a prominent place inthe track world.
