Baseball Team WUlArrive Home MondayThe University baseball teamwhich has been playing a series ofinternational games in Japan thissummer landed in San Franciscoyesterday, and will arrive in Chi¬cago Monday morning, Oct. 27,at the Union Station.I Captain Hollohan led the Chi¬cago team to 7 victories and 1> tie in the fifteen games played.Marshall Fish, captain of the 1931i basketball team, made the trip toj Japan as regular first basemanfor the Maroons; and will returnto the Midway immediately to be¬gin basketball practice. The resti of the team will not enter schoolI until the winter quarter.[Sales Drive ForCap and Gown IsInitiated TodayThe class is conducted on prin¬ciples of individual initiative andthe students are jfiven free reign tosatisfy their intellectual curiosity.They are not compelled to read thelisted a.ssignments, which range fromthirty-two to 1,200 words in lengrthnor are they required to attend thediscussion periods. The class cov¬ers two academic years; and if astudent is forced to be out of resi¬dence during that time, he may readthe listed literature, take an oralexamination and receive full creditfor the work.ExaminationsIt is also possible for students inlesidencu tu tend ahead and take ex¬aminations for credit. There will beone half hour exam each quarterwhich will be conducted orally andindividually, and for which studentswill be allowed to defend an accept¬ed list of their own opinions. So far,they seem more alert, and more re¬sponsive to concrete rather than ab¬stract subjects.In order to assure an even great¬er degree of freedom in literary pur¬suit, room 18, Classics has been re¬served for their exclusive use. Eachmember of the cla.ss has a key tothe room, whose shelves are linedwith reference books which may betaken at will. Here too, they meetto discuss assignments and inter¬change ideas As to how studentsreact toward this enlightened meth¬od of teaching.Student Comment"Survey 110 is the most interest¬ing course on campus,” according toJames S. Martin, a member of theclass and his statement is corrobor¬ated by each one of his twentyclassmates. He continues his state¬ment with the belief that "we arereading the greatest literature of alltimes in a systematic fashion, andforming our own opinions rather thanaccepting other peoples’ commentsand reviews.”Charles Darwin Anderson ex¬presses much the same idea, “Thiscourse surely is teaching us to thinkclearly on the philosophical sides ofthe question. President Hutchinsdoesn’t take a thing for granted. Hereally picks things to pieces; and itmakes the class immensely interest¬ing.”Marioii Keane and Ruth Youngregard the course as the “biggestevent in their lives.” The reading isnot a bit hard because the subjectmatter is of the vital sort that weform our own opinions about. Pres¬ident Hutchins is a splendid teach¬er; he has a stimulating mind and adelightful sense of humor.”Manifest EnthusiasmLouis Turley explains, "It is in myopinion the collected condensationof literature on the highest plane.My time is invested tenfold,” whileDonald MacMillan, Charles Burt,and Marjorie Ravenscroft agree"Mr. Hutchins is refreshing aftersome of the dry profs. Perhaps thisis because he looks at literaturefrom a non-professional standpointwhich has not been shaped by teach¬ing it fifty times.”Edith Burke, Leslie Dively, andJanet Kalv^en emphasied the interestof the subject, the valuable back-grornd afforded in ClasRic literature Sales Committee to VisitAll Fraternities andDormitoriesSales campaigning for the 1931Cap and Gown begins at noon. The.sales committee in charge of thedrive is composed of William Kinche-loe, chairman, Stoddard Small, andFrances Blodgett, representing thewomen’s halls.Every fraternity house and everydormitory will be canvassed todayby the members of the committeewith the object of soliciting sub¬scriptions.

SIR PHILIP SASSOON LEADERS FORECASTTO LECTURE TODAY BETTER BUSINESSNoted ArchaeologfistTells of TourTo India Conference Chiefs AreOptimistic AboutFutureThe Rt. Hon. Sir Philip Sassoon,former British Undersecretary ofState for Air who is a pioneer inthe study of archaeologry by air, willspeak at 8:15 this evening in Man-del hall instead of on -Friday eve¬ning as was previously announced.This lecture is one of a series whichSir Philip is giving in the UnitedStates in the interests of aviationand archaeology.The eminent Englishman will givean account of the flying tour he■ made from London to India and will! illustrate his talk with pictures ofI temples and other monuments ofI Egypt, Babylon, Ur, the KhyberPass and India taken from the air.He is a cousin of Siegfried Sas¬soon, poet and author of ".Memoirsof a Fox-hunting Gentleman,” andis himself author of "The ThirdRoute,” which describes the journeywhich is the subject of his lecture.Sir Phillip is also noted as a con-nni<»sein’ of art beini i Trustei othe National Gallery of Art of Lon¬don, the Wallace collection, and theTate Gallery.Art CollectorIn addition. Sir Phillip possessesthe largest single collection ofGainesborough and more recentlyhas become interested in acquiringmodern productions of art. iNot only is he prominent as a pa- jtron of art and literature but Sir jPhilip is actively engaged in British |politics. He first gained^ reco^ition ;in international political ^affaire whenin 1921 he was appointed as privatesecretary to Lloyd George, then ,prime minister.Three conferences after that atVersailles were held at his homeHythe-in-Kent at which LloydGeorge, prime minister of England,Millerand, prime minister of France,Marshall Foch and Curzon ministerof foreign affairs attended.Later he became one of the mostbrilliant speakers of the Conserva¬tive party in the House of Commons,until 1929 when he went out of of¬fice. Sir Philip is an intimate friendof the Prince of Wales.Oxford GraduateHe extends a warm hospitality tovisiting Americans in London whomhe entertains at his country houses.Sir Philip received his education atEton and Christ Church, Oxford.This many sided man, scholar, au¬thor, connoisseur of art, statesman,sportsman and aviator will speak thisevening at Mandel hall on merelyone of his intere.sts, archaeology by American business is ready toturn the corner and start on the up¬ward trend. This is the^ opinion ofeight men at the head of the mostba .sic American industries, deliveredyesterday at the seventh conferenceof major industries held in Mandelhall under the auspices of the Uni¬versity and the Institute of Ameri.can Meat Packers, with the cooper¬ation of the Chicago Association ofCommerce, the Commercial club ofChicago and the Industrial club ofChicago.Hutchins Presides\t the morning session, from tenti'l twelve. President Hutchins pre¬sided, welcoming the visitors withthe statement that he was presentto inject a note of cheer into theproceedings. His industry. Presi¬dent Hutchins remarked, is the onlyone which is not suffering from theefi’ects of the business depression.Mr. R. C. Holmes, president ofthe Texas company, w'as the firstspeaker. He outlined the conditionof 'the petroleum industry, vlhichis fundamentally sound, becausemodern transportation demands it asfuel, even though the present situa¬tion of business in general has re¬duced the sale of new cars and newtires. The enormous waste commonin the early days of the oil industry,amounting to four billion dollars inthe last ten years, has been largelyovercome, and present potential pro-d'^lll^ion of petroleum in the UnitedStates is double the actual produc¬tion. The existing anti-trust lawshave seriously hampered the propergrowth of the petroleum industry,and it is essential that they be alter¬ed to fit existing conditions.Railroad Situation SeriousThe situation of thje, railroads tenyears after their restoration by thegovernment to private interests was;)ainted as a serious one by Mr, W.B. Storey, president of the SantaFe, The increases in wages andtaxes, lowering of rail rate sched¬ules by the Interstate Commercecommission and the competingmeans of transportation—truck, bus,and airplane—have conspired to cre¬ate the difficulties which the rail¬roads find themselves facing. In thepast few years, the credit of therailroads has been good, due not somuch to the fact that they have beenmaking profits as to the hope forfuture profits. This improvement incredit has led to improvements inrolling stock and service, but the(Continued on page 4)MANDEL AUDIENCE APPLAUDSSPIRITED DEBA TE ON SCIENCEBy George Van der Hoef“Whether or not science is agrowing menace to civilization” wasbrilliantly if ineffectually discussedlast night before an audience ofover two hundred people in Mandelhall, assembled to hear the Cam¬bridge university debating team openits American tour in a sharp verbalbattle with the University DebatingUnion.Before the debate both teamswere entertained at dinner in theCoffee Shop. Among those presentwere Dean and Mrs, ChaunceyBoucher, Dean and Mrs. BertramNelson, Thornton Wilder and Rob¬ert Valentine Merrill. At this ban¬quet the teams were introduced toeach O'ther. They were A. E. Holds-worth of Gonville and Caius College,Cambridge, Max Kroloff, of the Uni¬versity Law School, N. C. Oatridgeof Fitzwilliam House, Cambridge,and Robert McKinley, also of theUniversity Law School.British Consul PresidedThe speakers were introduced byGodfrey Haggard, British Consul inChicago who presided. Max Kroloffwas the first speaker for the affirm¬ative. He welcomed the Englishspeakers and pointed out that afterthey had left the city they couldpoint to themselves as living proofof having escaped the weapons of I science. He then elaborated uponI the point that science was buildingI a storehouse of potential evils to so-I ciety, such as present city noise and1 the soot which hides fifty percent ofLondon’s sunlight. Under the sci¬entific system he claimed that theworker was reduced to a mere cog ;in a machine and completely loseshis individuality. Even man’s recre- |ations have become standardized and Icommercialized. Money has been imade the god of the workers for theyare entirely dependent upon it andideals go by the board in conse¬quence. The age of science has tomdown the institution of marriage andwomen, released from the labours ofthe home, has become the outstand¬ing exponent of the home as mere¬ly a place to sleep in. Kroloff toppedthe argument by pointing out thatwhen a man and women have thechoice of a child or an automobile,they choose the auto.First NegativeThe first speaker for the negativewas Holdsworth of Cambridge. Hebegan with a series of definitions.“Civilization,” he defined, "is thatstate of cultural development man¬kind has reached in the year of grace1930” And science is merely "amethod of study, a teohnique, andiriethod of approach” "Man has al-I, (Continued on page 3) Friars Will AttendDinner and TheatreBlackfriars will hold their ban¬quet Friday at 6:30 in the Eastroom of the Hotel LaSalle afterwhich they will attend a perform¬ance of "Strike Up the Band” atthe Selwyn theatre.

I BEGIN PREPARAHONFOR ERECTION OFNEW FIELD HOUSE{1 Fulfills Hutchins* FirstI Promise To TheI UniversityI LARGE sf^CTUREI' Splendid Equipment AndFacilities IncludedIn Plansi Awaited since 1925, the new Uni-! versity field house will be an accom¬plished fact one year from today.A structure with 50,000 squarefeet of floor space, costing $750,000,will be completed on a site boundedby Greenwood, University and 56thstreets in time for the indoor sports; season next winter.I Coach Stagg, when showing the1 architect’s plans for the building toi a Daily Maroon reporter, comment¬ed that while many field houses areusually but roofs covering a greatamount of open space, the Univers¬ity structure will contain offices,medical rooms, locker and show¬er room, ticket offices, and otherfacilities to augment the equip¬ment in Bartlett gymnasium. “Theouilding represents the fulfillmentof one of President Hutchins’ firstpromises to the University,” CoachStagg declared.Seats Seven ThousandI Two main entrances to the build¬ing will open on University Ave.,the "head house,” or administrationporticm.of the building, forming thefront of the structure on that street.Extending back from this sectionfor an entire block will be the play¬ing floor, with seats for 7,200 spec-tatoi-s. In the basement, under bal¬conies, and around the sides will belocker rooms accommodating 700, alarge medical room, business andadministrative offices for the athlet¬ic department, store rooms, ticketoffices and gymnasium equipment,j The two entrances on University av¬enue will lead into vestibules at thesouth and north sides of the build¬ing, from which stairways will riseto the balconies on either side. Oth¬er exits will open on 56th street.The actual size of the buildingwill be 354 feet in length, extendingeast and west, and 165 feet inwidth.I Wreck Buildings On Site• Apartment buildings now occupy¬ing this site are already being torndown. Construction upon the fieldhouse will begin immediately, whichmeans that the present football prac¬tice field will have to give way tothe new structure. Another prac-' tice field, extending east and westalong the north side of the fieldhouse and occupying all the space tothe alley paralleling 55th street, isto be prepared. This entire sectionhas been purchased by the Universityto make possible this addition to theAthletic department.“A most useful building,” (DoachStagg remarked when speaking ofthe field house. “Intramural athlet¬ics will be greatly benefited, andlarge meets more easily accommo¬dated.”Stagg ReminiscesCoach Stagg recalled that in 1926work had actually begfun on a sim¬ilar structure on the space now oc¬cupied by the practice field. “Cere¬monies were held, and we still havethe spade that turned the firstearth,” he said. “But this one is real¬ly on the way.”Construction of the field house in1925 to which Mr. Stagg refers waspostponed when University author¬ities decided the erection of thenorth stands to 'Stagg field was ofgreater importance The field houseas now planned is much larger thanthe one then considered.The need of such a field house forindoor athletic events has long beenfelt by the athletic department ofthe University and the Intramuraloffice.

Ogburn.EDUCATED LEISUREThe coming of the Cambridge debating team to the Univer¬sity on their American tour during mid-scholastic season brings tomind certain fundamental differences between the English univer¬sity system and ours. Such differences are being continually re¬marked upon by British visitors to this country, among them mem¬bers of the Cambridge team and Randolph Churchill, who recentlyspoke at Princeton.One needs merely to contemplate the possibility of a Univer¬sity debating team starting off on a barnstorming tour of Englandin the middle of a quarter to see how fundamentally different thetwo systems are. Such a course would naturally be impossible. Astudent could not miss so many classes, could not miss so manyassignments, in fact could not miss continuing a glorified high schoolcourse.As seen by many reflecting students, the main trouble withthe American system is that it does not provide enough time foreducated leisure. During term time we must attend class regularly,spend a great part of our outside hours completing assignments.Little time is left for extra-curricula activities, for intellectual roundtable discussion?, for cultivating friendships, in short for doing threequarters of the things which make a university education worthwhile.It is here that we differ fundamentally from the English sys¬tem. Under the English system the school year is divided into threeterms of eight weeks each and the remaining twenty-eight weeksare equally divided into vacation periods. But these vacation pe¬riods differ greatly from ours Instead of finding a job or loafingabout during this time the English undergraduate goes into seclusionand applies himself to serious intellectual activity. It is duringsuch vacations that the real work is accomplished. It provides pe¬riods for uninterrupted study, free from the thousand and one dis¬tractions which oidinarily assail the undergraduate. Then duringterm time he is free to attend such lectures as may have a directbearing upon his work, map out his coming schedule of work andabove all have time to discuss his projects with his fellow students.The great facilities of the universities are placed at his disposal en¬abling him to have cultured surroundings for his student life.A comparison of the two systems brings to light one of the cry¬ing needs of the Am.erican system. Our undergraduates do nothave the opportunity for educated leisure. They cannot spend twoor three hours at dinner discussing this and that problem. Theycannot attend theatres and lectures without seriously cutting in ontheir scholastic schedule. Any extra-curricula activities they mayundertake are done at the expense of their school work. Any bene¬fit they may get from the activities is modified by the necessity ofslighting the activities in favor of studies. It is a vicious circle.At the University the need for educated leisure is keenly ap¬parent. The Forge was discontinued last year through lack of stu¬dent interest. The Cap and Gown may have to cease publicationbecause of the same complaint. Every activity feels this condition.But what is more serious, the undergraduate with intellectual in¬terests which he is willing to cultivate is becoming scarce. Coursesare being thought of more in relation to grades than the personal ap¬plication of the knowledge derived from them.If the students at the University are to develop minds capableof independent activity, they must have time to permit the propermaturation of ideas and the absorption of knowledge. Under thepresent system this is well nigh impossible. The result of courseis inevitable. Our capabilities for producing great quantities ofmeaningless data will increase, but withoui- <»dnrj*ted ♦'reativ**work becomes but a legend.—Contributed by G. T. V. Yesterday noon there was a signin front of the commons whichread “Closed Wed. noon because ofMajor Ind. lunch in Noyes.” Ourcuriosity piqued, we searched till wefound that it was a meeting of theMajor Industries which went on.Also numerous business men walkedupon the seal all day.

But don’t believeall of that.Another bit of new's, unofficial asit might be, has found its way intoour clutches. It comes out thatHelen Tate,* former beautiful co-ed,is engaged to Bill Wedell, Phi Psi,cheerleader of yesteryear. But, aswe say, it is all still unofficial.* * *Some of the boys are complainingbecause all the freshmen girls aretoo quiet. The complaints were get¬ting so bad that one of the inter¬ested by-standers went up to BethKeefe, sophomore, and asked w-hy one. Miss Watrous - was so quiet.“Why,” said iBeth, “she’s only afreshman. When I was a freshmanI was afraid to open my mouth.”* * ♦ ^Jim McMahon was talking toWalter Baker. “You know,” said'Jim, “I was at a Service Club party(which he probably wasn’t) and Inoticed that all the wall flowersthere were pansies.” That in itselfisn’t so bad, but he told it in thehalls of the Theological Seminary.* * •Some of you still remember JimCusack, former captain of the track team and now associated with thekid industry.

He heldthat method was nothing in itself andthe results were the only worthwhile criteria. He also asked therhetorical question of what is goingto become of the unemployed in themachine age. McKinley emphasizedthe increasing difficulty in findingmarkets for goods and the danger ininternational rivalry. Conservationof natural resources was also stress¬ed for he pointed out the wastefuluse of pulp wood in paper towels inthe University wash rooms “and oth¬er places of amusement.”Second NeativeN. C.

It is an experi-i ence, a beautiful and memorable ex-I perience, because the tragedy thatovertakes Chekhov’s characterstouches everyone.In Chekhov, you discover the art-, ist whose brush paints a luminous: canvas. He is not the brooding Slav.His people are neither degenerates,idiots, street walkers. They are or¬dinary human beings, who are souninteresting that only a Chekhovsees the pathos and futility in theirI lives. But although these are dullpeople that crowd the stage, theirlives are fraught with the tragedythat comes to kings and princes in¬discriminately.Chekhov, like Shakespeare, is notmelancholy. His cheerfulness is re¬freshing; more than that, it is hu¬man. Tragedy never seems to be soreal as when it is bordered by ironicfleck of humor. So it is with Astroff,the handsome, introspective doctor;with the kind Uncle Vanya, with thegentle Ilya, with Helena, the pro¬fessor’s wife; with Sonia, who lovesAstroff so deeply. Tragedy stalksunmistakably through the souls ofthese people, and never so forciblyas in the final moment when Soniatries to comfort Uncle Vanya. Yetcan one forget the plaintive songsj of Ilya in the quiet of a pleasantI twilight or the childish petulance of'Uncle Vanya in his drowsy mom-I ents?j My admiration for Jed Harris in- Settlement Drive ToHave New ManagementThe annual drive for the Univer¬sity Settlement, located “back ofthe yards,” will be conducted thisyear by the Board of Social Serviceand Religion.The board will select a committeeof two representatives each fromthe Undergraduate council, theMen’s commission and the Y. W. C.A.creases tremendously after seeing“Uncle Vanya.” I admire his cour¬age in producing a play by Chekhov,a play which displays a restraint notusually found in the present daytheatre. The delicacy and lightnessof the mood that dominates “UncleVanya” lingers long after the finalcurtain.The small cast that perform inMr. Harris’ inspiring production arewell-nigh flawdess. Miss Gish is verymuch at home on the stage, for herfragile personality sympatheticallyinterprets a most difficult role.Miss Gish, as the pro-forma star,is supported by a superb cast. Ii have high praise for the effortlessI and charming acting of ^sgood Per-I kins, Zita Johann, Walter Connolly,I Eugene Powers, and Eduardo"Cian-I nelli.

Melvin L. Schultz has ia slightly diflPerent aspect on the jsubject. “I think this class is espe- icially beneficial to those students |who are pursuing scientific studies. IIt prevents too much emphasis on the isciences and gives a broad generalinsight into the operations of thegreat minds who have gone before.”Elva Kemp and Geraldine Smith-wick share the opinions that “If wegain no other knowledge from Pres¬ident Hutchin’s class, we at leastshould learn how to read. Ourinformal discus.sions. without anyworry about grades, should teach usto read for reading’s sake.” Mel- ■vin Goldman considered the contact jwith Mr. Hutchins the real enjoy- jment of the class.. . “The class begins immediatelyto fulfill the purpose and desire of jthe University of Chicago: to teachmen to think. It discloses new fieldswhich must be accepted or rejectedbj the student himself—and a think¬ing brain is the result.”—Such isthe object of the course as seen byDr. Adler who brought the idea tocampus from Columbia where heled a similar course.IIIIILNow Playing . . .THE DRAKE SUPPER DANCESCLYDE McCOY AND HIS ORCHESTRAA Kennaway AttractionSoft.

The fact that theseprices can go no lower, combinedwith the enormous number of auto¬mobiles on the road, points to a tre¬mendous growth of the tire indus¬try in the next few yeai's, with aconsequent reduction in tire prices.Private ownership of public util¬ities, according to Mr. Matthew S.Sloan, president of the New YorkEdison company, has resulted in thebest possible service today of theAmerican public by these utilities,and it would be foolish to experi¬ment with public ownership, so of¬ten urged.
