V'arious remediesfor this exigency have been suggest¬ed, including one that the ten weak¬est fraternities be removed so thatthe others might be preserved.Lack of Information“Speculations on the fraternitysituation to date have been charac¬terized by a lamentable lack of ac¬tual information,” Vane said yester-<lay. “The prime purpose of thispiece of research work voluntarilyundertaken by the council on behalfof the student body is to lay theentire body of facts open to analy¬sis, so that conclusions may bedrawn therefrom by all parties in¬terested. It may even be that nocrisis is at hand; the one sure re¬sult of the survey is that predictionsand recommendations will be basedon fact rather than opinion.”An individual report on each ofthe twenty-nine fraternities now oncampus will cover completely the fol¬lowing points:1. Financial standing. Investiga¬tion will be made of present finan¬cial condition and of condition dur¬ing the past few years; of operat¬ing costs and house upkeep; of housebills and initiation fees. Estimationwill be made of the number of menin the chapter nece.ssary to run thehouse with expenses comfortablywithin income.2. Active chapter.

Sherer, vice-president of Lord,Thomas, and Logan when discussingadvertising as a vocation yesterdayafternoon in Eckhart. Mr. Shererwas the third speaker in the currentvocational lecture series of theBoard of Vocational Guidance andPlacement.Mr. Sherer characterized advertis¬ing as being a profession claimingthat the surest way to become suc¬cessful in the field is to sell thingsto people—sell vacuum cleaners tofarmers, magazines subscriptions tohousewives, advertising for collegepapers, or any other form of activ¬ity that will enable one to learnabout people, and how they canbe influenced to action.Five Type* of WorkThat the advertising professionuses many types of ability was em¬phasized by the* speaker. Selling, re¬search, planning, creation, and pro¬duction are the five fields in whichexperts are needed. The salesman,the artist, the scientific investigatorand the executive finds his place inthe advertising business.Mr. Shrrer devoted a portion ofhis address to giving an “aeroplaneview of the terrain of the advertis-, , . , , . ing business”—sketching its greatexpansion during recent years andthe many types of advertising firmsmen in Phi Beta Kappa.

Yates participated in a lightworkout, took part in a short scrim¬mage and retired to the showersearly, apparently as shifty and am¬bidextrous as ever.For the first 'time this season,Coach Anderson sent his Freshmanteams against the varsity in regularscrimmage. Although,the Freshmenuse the same style of play as thatemployed by Norgren’s varsitysquad, the competitive fire of theeager Yearlings afforded the varsitya busy afternoon. The same revisedlineup of Fisli, Stephenson, Rexing-er, Porter and Dzuibaniuk startedagainst the Frosh. Although teamwork in manuevering the ball wasconsiderably improved, the individualscoring ability hitherto provided byYates was noticeably absent. Dzuib¬aniuk, deadeye of last year’s Fresh¬man team, worked into position foropen shots with apparent ease, onlyto overshoot his target completelytime and again. Stephenson, whosespecialty is a set shot from the sidelines, spent most of the afternoon’sscrimmage against the Freshmen up-der the Green Shirt baskets, wherehe continually snatched the ballfrom under the noses of the over an¬xious Yearlings, only to see it twistout of the basket after he hookedit at the backboard.May Lose TipoffDoubts that Chicago would com¬pletely lose the tipoff against Min¬nesota with Fish at center were par¬tially allayed with yesterday’s scrim¬mage. The lanky Frosh center con¬tinually out jumped Fish, only tohave Stephenson, Rexinger, orDauibaniuk snatch the ball out ofthe air and toss it safely to Porteror Fish. The installation of the craf¬ty Yates back at his old position ofleft forward, will increase the scor¬ing strength of the Maroon team con¬siderably as well as the certainty ofits offensive play. With three daysremaining in which to convalesce,Yates should have ample time to re¬gain his “sea legs”, and the hitherto(Continued on page 4)Causes of RussianRevolution AnalyzedBy Yale ProfessorAccurately and conservatively ap¬praising the factors causing the Rus¬sian revolution, Professor JeromeDavis of Yale university advancedhis theory of revolution to an audi¬ence in Social Science assemblyroom yesterday afternoon. Profes¬sor Davis is the aiuthor of the recentvolume “Contemporary SociologicalMovements” and collaborator withBarnes of the textbook “Introductionto Sociology.”The speaker spent two and a halfyears in Russia during the Worldwar and has revisited the countrythree times since. Although an anti-bolshevist by his own declaration,Mr. Davis professed great admirationfor Stalin, who is at the head of theSoviet'at the present time.Score* New*paper*Scoring newspapers for their un¬just and grossly exaggerated ac¬counts of what has transpired inRussia, Mr, Davis insisted that num¬erous factors must be considered be¬fore an understanding of the revolu¬tion may be reached. The geographicand historical factors were consid¬ered first. Russian territory stretch¬es over one-seventh of the entirelanded area of the earth. Based orig¬inally on a system of merit, the rul¬ing class gradually degenerated intoa weak system of hereditary power.At the time of the first revolution 7percent of the entire populationwere in the nobility and educated(Continued on page 2) Inventor of Game LaysStress on VariedAttack“Successful basketball teams ofthe future will need to use a com¬plete repertoire of offensive and de¬fensive styles of play,” Dr. JamesNaismith, of the University of Kan¬sas, inventor of the game of basket¬ball, prophesied yesterday afternoonas he watched the Maroon team doj tricks with his brainchild.While he is satisfied with theI present rule affecting the method ofputting the ball into play by toss¬ing it up for two centers. Dr. Nai¬smith forsees some change in thecode to eliminate the emphasis on■ the tall man.Stre**e* Ver*atintyj Alert teams will be able to shiftj from one style of play to the nexti almost at will, he explained. Each[combination of players will be thor-i oughly familiar with every success-j ful system of tactics, and the win-I ning team will be the one that canj combine the systems most effective-'ly.In a short address to Coach Nor-gren and members of the basketballsquad, Dr. Naismith described the be¬ginnings of the game as a device tokeep a gym class of “irreconcilables”satisfied with indoor sport.With the idea in mind of keepingthe roughness of football out of thenew game, and at the same time us¬ing the large ball, he abolished run¬ning with the ball, physical contact,I and evolved the horizontal goal or' basket. The idea for the basket or¬iginated in the game* of “duck onthe rock”, in which rocks are tossedin an arc or loop instead of beingd,'j;ected straight at the “duck”.U*ed Peach Ba*ket ,The looping toss required a hori¬zontal goal, and one elevated fromthe playing floor. In the first games,back in 1891, two peach basketsnailed to the gallery wall served asbaskets. Later the interference ofthe spectators, who persisted innudging the ball to prevent a score,necessitated a protected peach bas¬ket, and still later a bottomless hoop.“I envy you boys the privilege ofbeing associated with Mr. Stagg,”Dr. Naismith declared.Facing a battery of cameras, Dr.Naismith told the Maroons that ifthey could develop something newand stay within the rules, they wouldcome out on top..(Continued on page 4) Freshmen SponsorU Dance TomorrowMen and women of the Fresh¬men class invite all Universitystudents to the first U dance tobe given this quarter tomorrowafternoon from 3:30 to 5:30 inthe theatre of Ida Noyes hall.All arrangements for the danceare under the direction of MaryVoehl, chairman of the FreshmenWomen’s club council, and HalJames, Social chairman of GreenCap club.

His principle is to use aphrase from Bach or Beethoven asa keynote on which to elaborate. Byway of illustration, he played a barfrom the “Ninth Symphony” whichcan be condensed to three basicchords, simple enough to appeal tothe common man. This theory sug¬gests jazz as a source of Americanmusic; but such a source would leadto a standard by which we would“prefer Eddie Guest to Frost”.Simplicity PIu* DignityUsing an illustration, a similar ex¬periment in poetry, Mr. Mason point¬ed out that of 3500 people whosetastes were put to a definite test inpoetic preference, a large majorityprefered vulgar to classic verse. Inmuch the same manner, the publicprefers jazz to classic music; andwhile many musicians see in modernrhythms a source o/ great music, hefinds a fallacy in their arguments.(Continued on page 3)TECHNICAL STAFFEXPERIMENTS WITHPLAYFEST SCENESWith the acting rapidly roundinginto shape, the student directors ofPlayfest called a recess last night togive the technical staff an opportun¬ity to experiment with-the sets theyhave designed for the production.Only two sets are being used forthe three plays which will be given.The set for “All American” whichwill lead the bill, represents a col¬lege room. The same set with minorchanges and a totally different light¬ing arrangement will be used for thesecond play, “Symphony in D Minor,”by Albert Arkules. The third play“Tables for Ladies” by John Bob¬bitt represents a restaurant near thesteel mills. A carefully worked outset has been arranged for this playand the lights have been so arrang¬ed that the intermittent flares fromthe mill stacks are constantly seenin the background. As with the playsthemselves, the scenery is of an ex¬perimental nature and has been de¬signed by the stage-craft class of theDramatic Association under the di¬rection of Gilbert White.(Continued on page 2) Newly-appointed Dean of StudentsGeorge Allen Works yesterday gavedefinite assurance that the fullestcooperation and helpful interest inthe problems of the fraternitieswould be offered by the Universityadministration during the period fol¬lowing the institution of deferredJ rushing and the opening of the newdormitories.The University has often beenfalsely accused of being hostile to¬ward the fraternities, avoiding openhostilities only because of the largegroup of alumni that take an activeinterest in the affairs of each so¬ciety. Dean Works condemned thisview.Improve Student Life“We want to make a student’s lifeas good and wholesome as possible,”he pointed out. “That is the reasonfor our extensive dormitory pro¬gram, and for our desire that stu¬dents be allowed to become fully ac¬quainted with the University andwith the individual houses beforeuniting with a particular group.“I doubt, personally,” Dean Worksdeclared, “that the dormitories willaffect the fraternities as greatly assome believe. It is not the livingconditions of fraternities that attractmen to them—other considerationsmust be involved, and will continueto be attractive, in spite of the dor¬mitory facilities.”In regard to the deferred rushingthat the University is said to havefoisted upon the fraternities. DeanWorks explained that the fraterni¬ties themselves have agreed to de¬ferment of pledging as a cure forthe evils besetting them under thepresent program. Representativesof the fraternities also decided uponthe time at which the plan was togo into effect.Anxiou* to Aid Fraternitie*On the contrary, the Universityadministration is as anxious as pos¬sible to aid the fraternities in solv¬ing their many problems and in of¬fering their members the best eat¬ing, living, social, and educationalfacilities possible. They are re¬strained only by the considerationthat any advances made by the Uni¬versity toward the fraternities islikely to be regarded with a hostileeye by the Greek-letter clubs them¬selves.j Dean Works outlined two of the(Schemes that the University has pro¬jected as a means of offering frat-' ernities aid and guidance.

One by one the fond old superstitions have been laidto rest by the nefarious hand of science so that even such an oldstandby as man’s superiority is today rapidly disappearing in a cloudof error. Only one of these daydreams seems to have escaped «ndflourished—the illusion about undergraduate life.Just why this, the most erroneous of all, keeps on winnningand losing its disciples is a mystery, except, perhaps, that everyonefeels certain that one hundred percent of the converts inevitablyturn out to be one hundred percent apostates. And even undersuch gratifying conditions, the process of becoming an apostate in¬volves seriously painful steps which in most cases do more harmthan good to the subject. A master in the art of realism could doAmerican education an infinitely valuable service by portrayingexactly what happens within the protecting walls of the alma materand spare the young hopefuls emerging from high school a hostof hardships.The usual concept cherished by the entering freshman is thatat last he is free of the tedious parental ties, a person in his ownrights, and an explorer in a new world which eventually leads tosomething worthwhile. Obvious as the fact may be that this utopiadepends entirely upon himself, the entering student rarely botheisto consider that point; what interests him primarily is that he isattending an institution of higher learning, and that that institutioninfallibly will give him a certain amount of higher learning.The first year is not so bad. The higher learning has a hardtime penetrating his skull without a good deal of personal effort,but new acquaintances and engagements which keep him busy pre¬vent any reflections which might cause him to change his prear¬ranged views on the matter. Although his dreams about educationitself modify themselves with a truly philosophic weakness, newdreams about personal prowess in other fields take their place andkeep the victim perfectly happy. .The second year is nearly as inviting. Only toward the endof it the advice and the remarks of the older fellows begin to seepin and create a bit of uneasiness. The little idols, which everyfreshman has, topple one by one or lose their dazzling colors. Stillthere is a hope against hope that this is only the result of the"long grind ”—(it’s always ’’the long grind’’ that furnishes thesuitable alibi for every ailment). Meanwhile the education end ofthe business is no longer attractive and resolves itself into a dailyformula about as entertaining as brushing one’s teeth.The third and the Senior year bottle the unruly brew. Thestudent is now no longer a student; he is—at least, he proudly im¬agines he is—a complete cynic. He looks upop undergraduatelife as a juvenile pastime, deplores the poor, illusioned freshman,and hopes that it won’t be long before he can leave the booby-hatchfor a saner and a happier world. The minute he gets his degreehe hurries off and spends a year wishing he were back in college.The whole affair is due to the gradual deterioration of the firstillusions. If the victim had gone to the university firmly convincedthat it was a long grind; that all depended on himself; that peopleat the age of sixteen are a bit effervescent; and that a wiser man isalways a sadder one, the fateful consequences would have beenaverted. Year by year the process repeats itself. A new cropof daydreamers supplants the latest crop of those now disillusioned.That education does not produce the best results under those con¬ditions is, of course, easily understood.When this hypothetical book by this hypothetical genius onundergraduate realism is written, it should be made a prerequisitefor entering a university . . . .

John T.Bobbitt stated that he conceived theidea,.of “Tables for Ladies” duringthe summer when he was working ina factory and used to eat at the res¬taurant across the street from theplant. Albert Arkules said that heHrst thought of “Symphony in DMinor” while listening to a concertof the New York Philharmonic Or¬chestra conducted by Toscanini. Inhis play he is attempting to capturethe movement of the symphony andtranslate it into a dramatic produc¬tion.The dress rehearsal for Playfestwill take place this evening in the{Rey< Is club theatre. University OffersFraternities AidWithout'Coercion(Continued from page 1)Miss Finn now does toward theirfinancial affairs.Services AvailableAvailable to fraternities even nowis information on diet and foods fortheir commissary departments. TheStudent Health service staff is pre¬pared to make examinations andsuggestions regarding sanitary con¬ditions in the various houses, and togive tests for typhoid and tubercu¬losis to the house chefs.“Development of these suggestedrelationships between the Universityand the fraternities will come whenand only when the fraternities de¬sire it,” Dean Works stated emphati¬cally.When confronted by the predic¬tion made in a recent editorial inThe Daily Maroon, that at least tenof the chapters would inevitably beeliminated from the campus on theinstitution of deferred rushing, thedean reiterated his personal feelingthat the state of affairs was not as«erious as many believe.University Won’t MeddleIt has been proposed that ten ofthe weakest fraternities be arbitrar¬ily eliminated from the campus, thatthe remainder might survive. In re¬gard to this suggestion, Dean Worksmaintained, “I do not believe thatthe University could enter into thissituation. It is a matter that mustbe considered by the houses them¬selves. Perhaps the appointment ofa disinterested group to give adviceon this matter would be one methodof approach.” Informed of the sur¬vey of fraternities planned by theUndergraduate council, he fearedthat such a body was not impartialenough to deal with the matter.It is the hope of the dean thatthrough the program of his officethe excessive overlapping in activ- |ities and guidance dt the present jtime will be efiminated. “We need ja better understanding of what each |unit is trying to do, and if we can |discuss our mutual interests, many :of our problems will settle them- !selves. We w’ant to improve the jwhole field of student and faculty ^relationships that student life maybe made more satisfactory.”Student-Faculty RelationThe creation of this new office ofDean of Students, which has been |filled by the appointment of Mr.Works, is an effort on the part ofthe administration to develop allphases of the reationship betweenthe University and the student.When the plan of reorganization isin operation, he will have charge ofthe comprehensive examinations, theeducational and social direction ofthe residence halls and clubhouses,direction of student social affairs, ac¬tivities, organizations and publica¬tions, and the administration ofscholarships. An extensive and in¬telligent program of student guidancewill be one of the major concernsof Dean Works next year.

The fact that there are overone hundred different “kinds” ofpeople in the country made it pos¬sible that the Czar use them, one.against another. This “circumstan¬tial binder” allows for a certainruthlessness and unnecessary kill¬ing.The economic situation was out ofa normal order. Prosperity for anyof the 93 percent was impossible.People were only allowed to growalong horizontal lines. No chance forvertical progrress was possible.After studying the autobiographiesof 150 of the revolutionary leadersMr. Davis found that a great num¬ber of them came from the nobilityand educated classes. The policy of“quick-arresting”, and the oppres¬sion of the Jewish people were activestimuli for the revolution. The lid“blew off” in 1905 only to be putback on by the binder.World War Turns TideThe World war came on and thebinder was broken as the many raceswere thrown together under arms. iThe sparks of the revolution reap- | Professor Davis proceeded to ad¬vance his theory of revolutions.First, to be successful a revolutionmust deal with “real life” problems.Next, there must be a transfer ofthe intellect of the country to therevolutionary group. With the guid¬ance of an able leader the actualoverthrow comes during a nationalor international crisis. Idealistic de¬votion to the new government anda period of stabilization such as Rus¬sia is going through at the presenttime will be the factors that make arevolution a success.The lecture was sponsored by theSociology club.Expert Coaching!m P'ranch, German, Spanish, Ital¬ian, Russian, mathematics, philos¬ophy, etc. by 15 competent, ex¬perienced tutors.

Puttingpersonality in copy is an instinctiveart! It is the same twist of the mindthat the artist, or the actor, musthave to be outstanding. But theadvertising business, as well as need¬ing this spark of personality, needsalso the plodders, the commercialsoundness, that ^is contributed bythe rank and file of the profession.”Another vocational lecture will begiven next Wednesday afternoon.Real estate businesses will be dis¬cussed by Benjamin F.

E.

The Scarf Collar Transforms aTailored Tweed Coat«i VOGUEJpASHION may be called fic¬kle, but, in its constantchanging, it is always evolvingnew little schemes to offer var¬iety in a limited wardrobe. Ifthis be fickleness, make themost of it!To wit, the double-breastedtweed coat shown in the illus¬tration may completely changeits character by the addition ofa great scarf collar. Withoutthe scarf, it has the aspect ofa Guard’s coat with its broadlapels, its-raglan sleeves andits double-breasted closing.With the addition of thescarf, which buttons upon it¬self with great chic, a less tail¬ored appearance is given to the coat.Good old nubbly tweeds re¬fuse to be displaced from themode. While their weaves re¬main quite traditional, theircolors this year will be hoistedhigh and bright. Pure green,bright blue, rust-red and ochre-yellow will blaze their smartway in the country. Gray is anew note in both town andcountry, when it is combinedwith a more vivid color. Thelining, for instance, or ’ ablouse, or a scarf, might beyellow, chartreuse or brightblue to take the shade fromany possible dullness. Grayand brown make a very subtlecombination.ANSWERThin unusual eating place ii known aa Fhelpa & Phelps’Colonial Tearoom, at <1324 Woedlawn Ave. If youwant to enjoy an excellent meal, go there today.

Student PerformersSave Purdue MinorSports from GraveMinor sports at Purdue university,recently withdrawn from the athleticcurriculum because of lack of funds,were reinstated yesterday when theUniversity Auditor announced thatproceeds of a student benefit showwould provide the necessary finan¬cial backing.The Gimlet club, the student or¬ganization which arranged the ben¬efit performance, realized a profit ofbetween $700 and $750 from thesale of approximately 2600 tickets.It will turn this over to the athleticdepartment as soon as the check-upis complete, the Purdue Exponentdeclared.Before subsidizing the Universityminor sport program, however, theGimlet club officers will meet to ar¬range a budget for the expenditureof their fund, and to determine thenumber of trips for each sport.Coaches have already scheduled homeengagements, and are awaiting theauthorization of the student group be- )fore signing out-of-town contests.Col. N. A. Kellogg, director ofathletics, announced that “accordingto the agreement made with the Gim¬let club and the president, the athlet¬ic department will offer medical at¬tention as necessary and will awardsweaters only to those members ofminor sports teams winning Confer¬ence championships. Our agreementforces the department to do this.However, the department is giventhe power to make awards, but isnot authorized to purchase the sweat¬ers.”Green Hall ReceptionGreen hall will hold its thirtiethannual reception Saturday night atthe hall.

Mason DescribesJazz Menace toMusical Program(Continued from page 1)For while music must have the sim¬plicity which can be found in jazz, itmust also have dignity which cannotbe found in the mechanical rhythmof jazz.JazzThe reason advanced by Mr. Ma¬son for the common preference forinferior music lies in the fact that toappreciate good music, one must bealert with mind concentrated on thecadences heard. Jazz does not re¬quire this exertion on the part of thelistener; but neither is it flexible, vi¬tal, or simple. The composer’srhythms reveal his ability; and de¬fenders of rag time uphold the shift¬ing tempos. But jazz is little morethan an illiterate expression of mu¬sic and its adherents do not recog¬nize that the classicists boast far moreoriginality and variety than jazz,which because of its mechanistic na¬ture does not appeal to people whohave the capacities for true appre¬ciation.All AmericanAnother error found by Mr. Ma¬son in low-brow thought is the tend¬ency to defend all American music,regardless of its merit, “my musicright or wrong”! To be great music,it should be good enough to with¬stand comparison with the music ofany country. In this comparison,however, music must shun the atti¬tude of the highbrows, persons whohave been “educated beyond theirintelligence”.It is with the high-brow aspect ofpublic opinion that Mr. Mason willdeal in his lecture-recital today. Hefinds the color and texture of musicmost liable to exaggeration by the“snob peril” and will attempt to showthe composer’s stand against a highextreme of opinion which may bejust as injurious as the low extremediscussed yesterday.It is rumored that Art Howard,Winchellian columnist of The DailyMaroon has been stricken with over¬work, which doctors have describedas Pink Tooth Brush.
