Iam eager to know the Chicago stu¬dent body, both by individuals and asa unit. But, to tell the truth, for thelast day or so I’ve been busy feelingmy way around in my new job.”This is the first public statementof the new assistant of PresidentHutchins, Walter G. Preston, who as¬sumed his duties at the Universitylast Tuesday. Mr. Preston has de¬voted himself since the beginning ofthe week to becoming acquaintedwith administrative officers at theUniversity and with the requirementsof his new position.It was when Mr. Hutchins wassecretary of Yale university andsupervised public relations that Mr.Preston, as business manager of theYale Daily News, first became asso¬ciated with the president. Mr.Hutchins’ appointment to the secre¬taryship was one of the “greatesthonors ever accorded a man out ofthe university only a year,” Mr.Preston remarked.Before coming to the University,the new officer was assistant treas¬urer of the Bankers Reserve Lifecompany of Omaha.Battle of Humorists ScheduledFor Jan. 31; Thousands ExpectedBy William Read HarsheDexter Masters, known on Thurs¬days and Fridays as VVormly \’cep-ings, and Bill Harshe, Mysterious Un¬known, will stage the Battle of theCentury on Friday, January 31, fol¬lowing the basketball game in Bart¬lett Gymnasium. This ping^onggame will be closely contested fromthe drop of the handkerchief until thetape is broken. Masters, undisputedchampion of Nippon, Ontario, Canada,is a little rusty but his form is com¬ing back rapidly with diligent practice.The original date of this contest ofJanuary 15, had to be changed dueto the fact that Harshe was sufferingfrom a bad case of Pingpongitis orblistered thumb.The formality of this game can notbe over stressed and all over campusthe difficult question of social eti¬quette arises as to whether it is prop¬er to play ping-pong before sixo’clock in the evening. Masters and Harshe have requested that those whoattend the match on the thirty-first doso in formal attire. There are persist¬ent rumors that the contestants havebeen engaged by a loop departmentstore to demonstrate the game but thisis vigorously denied. Neither of thetwo men wishes to jeopardize his ama¬teur standing.The discovery was made, late today,that the match is the result of a grudgeof long standing and thus two argu¬ments will be settled at the same timefor the result means victory for eitherthe Daily Maroon or the Phoenix.The championship team of the PhiGamma Delta house including Capt.John M. Waldron, The Wooden In¬dian, Fred Marx and Bill Harshe,challenge any campus organization toa match. The match will consist ofthree singles games to be played anywhere at any time. Soldiers Field,however, is out of the question. CallHyde Park 0874. ITAUAN CLUB WILLMEET NEXT MONDAYTO DISCUSS POETRYThe poetry of Ugo Foscolo will bepresented and discussed at the meet¬ing of the Italian club Monday at3:30, in Wiebolt Commons. Char¬lotte Saemann, president, assisted byHarriet Wright, has arranged theprogram, which will also include vo¬cal selections, followed by a socialtea.The club, with James Brunot aspresident, was reorganized last yearas a social group for those interestedin Italian. Since that time the grouphas met four times a quarter. Amongother attractions, Guiseppe Casthuc-cio, the Italian consul to Chicago, hasbeen entertained at intervals andwill be present at a meeting in thenear future. By Louis N. Ridenour, IIActing on the suggestion of DeanBoucher, the Interfrateruity councilunanimously adopted the followingresolution at its meeting last night:“Resolved, that hereafter all exhibi¬tions and stunts of the so-called Pro¬bation week, sometimes called Hellweek, be confined within the chapterhouse itself, and that nothing be re¬quired of a pledge which can interferewith his scholastic obligations, orwhich can cause him physical injury,or which will tend to diminish hisself-respect.”Wording ChangedThis resolution differs from the oneembodied in the questionnaire sent toall the fraternities to determine theirposition on the question of regulationof Hell week only in that the word“exhibitions” has been substituted forthe word “activities” in the originalresolution. This change was madeafter a discussion as to whether suchharmless “activities,” such as the fresh¬man keeping silence, were to be ex¬pressly prohibited.Some discussion took place regard¬ing the advisability of making definiterules for the regulation of Hell week,but it w'as concluded that such regu¬lations would be useless without themachinery for enforcing them, and itwas decided that the adoption of theresolution would be sufficient for thepresent.Resolution ImperiousThe attitude of the University au¬thorities toward this action of theInterfraternity council remains to beseen. Through Dean Boucher, theyhave already delivered themselves ofthe ultimatum that either the fratern¬ities themselves should settle the prob¬lem of Hell week through the council,or the authorities would handle theproblem as they saw fit. It is the be¬lief of the council that this resolutionwill settle the matter to the satisfac¬tion of Dean Boucher, according toFred Hack, president.Quick DecisionThis problem, perhaps the mostpressing that the council has had tohandle for some time, was disposedof at last night’s meeting in fifteenminutes, and another of the topics fordiscussion this year, agreed upon bythe council at its October meeting,was stricken from the list.Goodman TheaterTo Initiate SeriesOf Informal DancesExhibit Portrait ofProfessor Willett byNoted New YorkerMr. Charles W.

Nothing, however, can detractfrom the pertinacity of the aphorism quoted above.Some time ago a movement for the reformation of our ex¬amination procedure was put before the various ruling bodies ofthe University. It was a movement incited by the realization thatthe present state of affairs is highly unsatisfactory; but the Uni¬versity Senate, which had final jurisdiction, vetoed it. Signi¬ficantly enough, however, every other body under whose surveil¬lance it had come, approved it whole-heartedly. Its essentialnature was simply to reinstate the old system of proctoral vigil¬ance for final examinations.Our “Honor System,” as it stands, is neither honorable orsystematic. It is not systematic in that it is not employed by allinstructors; there is no necessity to expatiate upon the fact thatit is not honorable. Were such a thing as “Honor” common toall men, a system based upon it would work perforce; but the“acids of modernity” seem to have had their effect on Honor, likeeverything else, and the “Nonentity System” is probably as apt aname as any other. One might write a very decent history onthe rapid advance in the technique of cribbing under the obtain¬ing regime. Cribbing is an ancient, if not honorable, practice;but in this age of doing big things in a big way its rate has becometerrifically wholesale.Under no mortal circumstances, perhaps, will cribbing beeliminated altogether from the order of scholastic things; in someinstances, indeed, it may be nearly legitimate. A well-knowngentleman in the University once remarked that “a student whocheats in order to escape flunking may well be excused; but onewho cheats in order to raise his grade from a C to a B or an Ashould be expelled from school.” Whether the ethics involvedin this statement are sound is disputable; but it is certainly clearthat most of the underhandedness that goes on during an exam¬ination is of the second sort. A real Honor System, or the inde¬terminate thing we have now, will never remedy the situation.We need, for a time at least, a rigorous regime of proctors andpenalties, however nauseous they may be to the idealistic soul.One advantage definitely adheres to the Proctor System. Thestudent who is honorable in his examinations will have no objec¬tions to proctoral vigilance, since his conscience is easy on thisparticular score. It is the student who at present is “gettingaway with murder” who will summon up a false idealism andother instruments of duplicity to rail at the machinery of hisundoing. Once we have the Proctor System there will be no argu¬ment about it without incriminating those who argue most. Thepoint is to get the system. That the faculty approves it, we aresure; that the student body will see reason in it, we have nodoubt. It remains only to convince the University Senate; andthat, we hope, is not impossible.

Here is the first of the currentseason:The University has made notablestrides during the past year both inman and in masonry. .And yet Harperlibrary insists on using a circulationsystem which, if not inefficient insofaras the library is concerned, at least isexceedingly wasteful of the students’time.As actually timed, it took twentyminutes to have a,book looked up, andthen it was reported “not on shelves.'Upon inquiry as to' where it mightpossibly be, the writer was informedby library attendants that “they justcouldn't seem to find it.” On anotheroccasion the lights went out. and nocall slips were sent down for half anhour, while those who had sent downcall slips before the elimination of tin-illumination sat around for anotherhalf hour before they were informedthat nothing more would lie done thatevening.Xow. exactly why can't the Univer¬sity devise an efficient circulation sys¬tem? Other libraries are able to l(vcate books in five or ten minutes, evenduring rush periods, and they do notbring in reports that “the book doesn'tappear to be in the library just now”after a fifteen or twenty minute wait.The libraries of a univer.sity arcusually one of its show places. Visi¬tors who come to a school will gothrough the lihrarie.s liefore inspectingthe laboratorie.s and classrooms, andthe impressions they secure from thistrip are in many cases the factors thatmake or break the university in theirestimation.Consider the liiiversity from thisstandpoint. V’isitors are shown throughour libraries, and they see a crowd ofstudents, mostly with some complaintor caustic comment about the slownessof the circulation department. Is thisany way to arouse a favorable impre*sion? From the standpoint of adver¬tising at least, the University ought toimprove the library system.

Neverthe¬less, when they get there is will bewith a purpose.All these remarks preface thehegira which the baseball team willmake this summer, as it has doneevery five years for the last two dec¬ades. The world isn’t so large, nowthat we have .some decent means ofhoofing about, but just the 5iame,Japan seems quite a long ways offand if you ask me, I think it’s oneswell place to spend the summer. Itrust the boys who are throwing thepill around Bartlett, in expectationof winning a place on the team, feelthat way too.It may be interesting to note,since it is no longer unusual forAmerican college ball teams to visitthe orient, that Amos Alonzo Staggthought about the feasibility of send¬ing a team to the Orient for good willpurposes and other reasons, long be¬fore some of our population knewthat such a place as the Orientexisted .The reception that the Chicagoteam received when it first invadedthe Orient some twenty years agowas of a most enthusiastic nature.The competition was not so keen,but the hospitality of the Japaneseplayers and populace made up forthat. The first visit paved the wayfor a keener and better understand¬ing between the two types, and sincethen the most cordial relations haveexisted between Japanese and Amer¬ican college ball teams.The Japanese have learned how toplay ball. They play as well as theaverage American college team andsometimes better. Last year Mejiitoured the American colleges andspanked a number of teams, includ¬ing our local aggregation. The Jap¬anese are not smashing hitters, buttheir fielding is superb and they playthe game with considerable enthusi¬asm and vigor.I happened to be speaking withPat Page not so long ago and wewere talking about the forthcomingtrip to Japan. Pat, you will remem-*ber, took the first gang over. Hemade, what seemed to me, an im¬pressive remark. Pat declared thetrip to Japan was equal to four yea^p’liberal education. I don’t think hewas overstating the case when hesaid that.Q/pcimtCon^FwwrEia^iTrJcwelnriraBENPQP^&OOII If. State St., Cbicago VARSITY TRACKSTARS SEEK TOBEnER RECORDSRoot, Haydon and LettsMay Surpass 1929PerfcmnancesCoach Merriam’s Varsity trackteam promises to be just as good asthe 1929 edition and there are possi¬bilities of its doing better in theConference meet. Last year’s team,composed largely of veterans, notonly won all their dual meets butestablished relay victories at Illinois,Texas, Southern Methodist, Kansas,Pennsylvania and Ohio State carni¬vals. Coach Ned Merriam looks tohis present squad to outdo the lastyear aggregation which was thestrongest since Chicago’s Champion¬ship team in 917.The squad includes about thirtymen, who have been working outdaily since the first of December andalready are rounding into tiptopshape. Among this group are severaloutstanding men who will likelyprove point winners in champion.shipcompetition. At any rate, theMaroon team has among its person¬nel men who are expected to cutdeeply into the share of points.Captain Norm Root, who ran 97/10 seconds in the hundred andpushed the truly great Simpson ofOhio in both indoor and outdoorcompetition is likely to be the secondbest sprinter in the conference thisseason. Assistant Coach Stagg Jr. isof the opinion that Captain Root isfully capable of leading Tolan ofMichigan to the tape especially inthe 50 and 60 yard dashes. Root hasperhaps the quickest getaway and themost perfect form of all Conferencespeed merchants. Whether Root canbeat the inimitable Simpson is a mat¬ter of speculation, for George lookedplenty fast last year when he shookoff Klder, Tolan and Bracey in theNational Intercollegiate held lastJune at Stagg Field. The time forthe winning Buckeye was 9 2/10,which established a new world rec¬ord, but for a time the feat was dis¬allowed, because starting blocks wereused that day.Another likely star who is ex¬pected to blaze the way in thehurdles is Harold Haydon of PhiBeta fame, Haydon performedcreditably during the indoor seasonwhen he out-hurdled all entered inthe Conference event to take the firstand incidently establish a new recordfor the 70 yard highs. A severesprained ankle received while broadjumping in the early spring pre¬vented him from repeating outdoors,but the leg has mended and now Halis in the pink. His best time of 147/10 seconds made while winningthe high sticks at the Texas relaysplaces him among the outstandingcollege hurdlers.Great things are also expected ofDale Letts, Captain of the CrossCountry team this fall that defeatedIllinois, Minnesota and Purdue.Letts, as a sophomore, scintillated inthe mile event in dual meets and re¬lay competition but failed to be achampion, getting fourth in the con¬ference mile run. In his greatest raceat the Pennsylvania Relays, heclipped 1:54 in the half mile, whileat the National collegiate he placedthird with 1:55 4/10. Because hewas of such value to the different CAGE COMMENTSSidney YatesThis is the third of a series of ar'tides about various members of thebasketball team.It is probable that one of the mostimportant factors in the Maroon de¬fense and offense is to be found inSid Yates. Yates is a smooth player,an accurate shot, and is very aggres¬sive.Yates, who is a junior now, is aproduct of Lake View High. Yateswas the mainstay of the prep drib¬blers. He also won his letter in twoother sports—tennis and fencing.During the two years that Yates waswith the high school basketball team,it held the lead in its league. Afterhe graduated in February, the teamcollapsed. Sid’s activities at LakeView, however, were not restrictedmerely to athletics. In addition tohis outstanding accomplishments inthis field, he was a member of theStudent Commission and Presidentof the Senior Class!Sid’s record here on campus is animpressive one. He won his Fresh¬man numerals in baseball and bas¬ketball. Last year he won an OldI English “C” in the latter sport. HeI is on the Men’s Commission and hasI served as Housing Chairman forj Track Interscholastics. He is inI Blackfriars, This impressive andmanifold set of activities has nothampered the versatile Sidney in thelea.st, as far as scholastic prowess is; concerned. He has been a memberof every honor society since "he en¬tered this reknowned institution oflearning. At present he is in IronMask. Indeed there seem to be fewpies in which the ever-ramblingfinger of this talented personage hasnot burroughed its way. He is amember of Pi Lambda Phi F'ratern-ity.Yates is high-point man for thebasketeers this season. In the non¬conference games he totaled 18 bas¬kets and 13 free-throws, acquiring inthree out of five games more pointsthan any man on either team, and infour out of five games more thananyone else on his own side. In thefirst conference game of this sea¬son, McCracken of Indiana was theonly man to roll up more tallies thanSid, outscoring him by one basket.In the first three games played thisyear he made 11 baskets.Yates, while one of the larger menon the team, is not very big for hisjob. He is 5 feet 11 inches tall andweighs 160 pounds. He is 20 yearsold. He has been with the team fortwo seasons. His regular position isforward.The lad is fast and shifty on thefloor. He has a remarkably fine eyeand in the Butler and Indiana gameshe made some absolutely miraculoustosses. He has a way of gliding pasta defense, dashing down the floor,and without a break in his headlongstride, casting the ball straight andtrue towards the basket. He is agame fighter, the kind who struggles’till he drops.

Meenwellis putting his Badger squad throughsome intensive drills this week inpreparation for the Illini, who playWisconsin here Saturday night.Meanweil takes nothing for grantedand now that Ruby’s men have upsetthe title hopes of Michigan, Docshould have no trouble in keeping hislads on their toes this week.The smooth work of the Badgercombination against Ohio, in whichthe complicated Meanweil plays wereworked, time and again, with ma¬chine-like precision, and the greatshooting of Captain Bud Foster, haveraised high hopes of a final rankingnear the top.Illinois, coached by Craig Ruby, aformer Meanweil star at Missouri,when the Little Giant was turningout champion fives there, plays astyle of basketball very similar tothat used by Wisconsin, with a highlysystematized attack and a tight zonedefense.

What is behind theseletters which maintain such a consist¬ently prominent interest?Y. W. Is International ForceThe local Y.W.C..\. is a cog in thenation-wide movement, which in turni> a part in a larger scheme, theWorld’s Student Christian Federation.With student organizations, somehacked with the spirit of Christianity,others non-secular, from all over theworld forming its membership and co¬operating in its endeavors to gain andspread the most enriching features ofculttired life the Federation is a dy¬namic force for true internationalism,a spirit of international cooperation,and a means of interchange of experi¬ences and expression. Meetings draw¬ing delegates from all corners of theearth have met in Mysore, India;Glion, Switzerland; Chartres, France;and Krems, Austria.Welcomes Incoming FroshBesides contributing to this vastfield of endeavor, Y.W maintains anelaborate local program of its own.cnnducting eight regular interestgroups, each of which is an organiza¬tion in itself. Since one cannot describe all of the work done by Y. W.the work with freshmen may serve asone illustration. During September,personal notes were sent to each fresh¬man woman welcoming her to theUniversity and inviting her to theFreshman Frolic to he held the sec¬ond week of the quarter. TheY.W.C..\. pamphlet describing the ac¬tivities of the organization in whichshe might participate, w’as includedwith the letter. The Frolic took theform of a supper, meeting, and Lan¬tern Parade through the campus. Atthe meeting, Miss Marion Talbot, Mrs.Edith Foster Flint, and Miss Ger¬trude Dudley spoke concerning theplace of woman students in the Uni¬versity. Not only were the freshmengiven an opportunity to hear thesewomen who have had far reaching in¬fluence on the life of the University,but also to meet and talk with them.Since that time the Y.W.C.A. has co¬operated with the men’s commission insponsoring freshman discussions withmembers of the faculty in their homes. .'Ml of these activities are intended tomake the freshmen feel more at homein the University.Organization Has Common GoalEach of the other fields has as com¬plex and as large a program of ac¬tivities, which results in the organiza¬tion as a whole reaching a variedgroup of students and citizens, all withtheir one common goal.CLASSIFIED ADSFOR S.A-LE—$60 absolutely new,never used portable typewriter.
