THOMPSONIf you are an average student, youhave walked past Walker Museummany times...and have no knowl¬edge of what it contains. If curios¬ity one time prompted you to stepinside, you were greeted at the doorby a grotesque African Pareiasaur,you saw on all sides cases filled withequally strange animal skeletons,and you probably walked out again.That was because you did not knowProfessor Alfred S. Romer or Mr.Paul Miller or anything about Pa¬leontology.Paleontology, Profe.ssor Romerwill tell you, is the science thatstudies the life of ancient geologicperiods. Its method is to search forthe fossil remains of the animalsthat lived millions of years ago..\nd in Walker Mu.seum there arenow housed some of the world’s fin¬est collections of such fossils. Theyrepresent discoveries made by Uni¬versity scientists and expeditions,and they tell much of the evolutionof animal life from the earlie.st shellfish and mollusks to the perfectedorganisms of which man is the high¬est type.A Place of ResearchMuseums differ in their purpose.Professor Romer explained as wewalked through the various roomsof Walker one afternoon last week.Those such as the Field Mu.seum aredesigned for public appeal and aredevoted mainly to exhibition pur-po.ses. Walker and others of likekind have as their primary interestpreservation of scientific material,the carrying on of research, and fin¬ally, the providing of materials foistudent use. The student in thisUniversity department has at his dis-|)osal, I realized, the moat importantcollection of invertebrate fossils inthe country. They fill the entireeast end of the second floor, occupy¬ing case after case. On the thirdfloor are countle.ss plant fossils...the delicate remains or impression.®in .stone of plants that grew uponthis earth millions of years ago!. . .preserved by Associate professor('arl Noe, paleobotanist of Walker.Museum. Most important of all tothe amateur, however, are the verte¬brate collections. For to us of theuninitiated crowd they, at least, looklike animals, though what strangebeasts they be!“Where did they all come from?”I asked Professor Romer. And hetold me about Mr. Paul Miller.lt wasthe .story of a Danish youth whocame to America years ago and wentto work in the western ranch coun¬try. When an American Museumexpedition passed through the westmany years ago, Paul Miller becameinterested in its work, followed itback to New York and became amember of the Museum’s staff.Since 1907, he has been connectedwith Walker Museum, and almostall of the vertebrate .skeletons of thehundreds of queer animals now be¬ing displayed on this campus werefound by him. “He has a no.se forfossils,” I was told. “He finds themwhere others say there are none.”For twelve summers, Mr. Miller wentinto the hot, dry plains of Texas,.searching the sands and rocks forbones. . .for that is the way it mustbe done. He brings his findings backto a small workshop on the thirdfloor of Walker, and during the win¬ter the sound of his hammer andchisel may be heard daily as hescrapes and chips away the stone anddebris for these bones, lays themout upon the table, sorts the various(Continued page 3) Ida Noyes RefectoryCloses for RepadrsBecause of need for emergencyrepairs, Ida Noyes refectory willbe closed after luncheon on Tues¬day, November 3.

C. A., Federation, and W. A. A.sponsored. During the two-day pro¬gram, approximately twenty-two rep¬resentative University women mod¬eled sports, afternoon, and eveningfashions from Von Lengerke andAntoine, Elise A. Runyan, and Car-son Pirie Scott and company. A num¬ber of health authorities lectured oncorrect diet, posture, and the selec¬tion of suitable footwear, demon¬strating their talks by means ofcharts and .sample displays whichwere exhibited during the entireHealth Week program.Models for the style show will beselected within the coming week, ac¬cording to Margaret Hill, presidentof W.

Five of the original mem¬bers have dropped and four havebeen added to the class. One ofthese, William Lester, a sophomorein the University high school, enter¬ed last year. The other new membersare Margaret Washburn, LeslieDaniels, and Robert Hall.The class meets once a week fortwo hours. Under the leadership ofPresident R. M. Hutchins and Dr.Mortimer Adler it discusses theweek’s reading. The assignmentsthus far in the year have includedHugo Grotius' “Laws of War andPeace”; Hobbes’ “Leviathan”; ReneDescartes’ “Discourse on Method”;and Milton’s “Paradise Lost”. Otherauthors to be studied this year rangefrom Leibniz, Newton, and Thack¬eray, to Tolstoi, James, and Ein¬stein. Valuable manuscripts affordingstudents new insight into the adven¬turous and sen.sational life of James“O’Gorman” Mahon, radical Irishliberator and politician, have recent¬ly been presented to the Universitythrough the courtesy of D. F. Kel¬ly, president of the Fair store, andJ. M. Smyth, president of the SmythFurniture store.The manuscripts are composedchiefly of letters from O’GormanMahon to persons prominent in thefield of nineteenth century politicsand of letters to the great Irishleader from his friends.Letters of commendation, toO’Gorman Mahon, from two Popesof the century, from Irish clergy¬men, and from Charles Parnell, mar¬tyr to the Irish Catholic cause, areincluded in the group of manu¬scripts. References to Talleyrand,Louis-Phillipe, and Louis-Napoleon inthe politician’s private letters dis¬play the close alliance that existedbetween the Irish and the FrenchCatholic factions; secrets of interna¬tional importance are barred in theletters of William Gladstone, nine¬teenth century prime minister toGreat Britain., “The letters writtenby Charles Parnell are of particularinterest because they were compos¬ed while that politician was impris¬oned in Kilmainham jail as punish¬ment for his radical preachings”, ac¬cording to Professor Tom P. Cross,chairman of the department of Com¬parative literature.Boldness of demeanor, rare in thedays of Catholic persecution, is thechief characteristic of O’GormanMahon. He endeared himself to hiscountrymen as the last of the raceof dare-devil Irish gentlemen who IRISH CIVILIZATIONLucille Pfaender, astisliihint inCeltic research at the University,has recently returned from a twomonth investigation of ancientIrish literature, traditions, andcultures in the Aran Islands andin the city of Dublin..Miss Pfaen-der’s work was financed by agroup of public-spirited Irishmenwho desired adequate informationto be provided the Social Sciencecouncil when it compiles data onthe amount each nationality hasdonated to the civilization of theworld.Lucille Pfaender’s work in theislands was devoted to the inten¬sive study of the language em¬ployed in the early literature ofthe Celts. The weeks in Dublinwere spent in an effort to collectbibliography and in establishmentof contacts with Irish scholarswho could furnish valuable inform¬ation on the culture of Ireland.'V A y fought with swords and intent to killon the slightest pretext. Records inthe possession of Professor Cross'.show that Mahon participated inthirteen duels throughout his life andproved himself the better adversaryin the majority of the conflicts.Leadership in hunting expeditionsin Africa, Australia, and Finland,and participation in the battles ofChile, Austria, Hungary, and Uru¬guay have served to provide a nichefor the famous Irishmen in Ireland’sexploited hall of fame, and in thehistorical records of those countrieswho have at times fostered rebel-Hons.

HowardAssistant: Edward Nicholson The TravellingBazaarBY FRANK HARDINGDear Brass Ear:Thus is the first, and probablythe last of a series of articlesabout places on campus that areso familiar that nobody gives adamn, and about people you won’twant to know even after I getthrough telling you about them.You’ve probably guessed by nowthat I am going to talk of thelocker room in Bartlett (I don’tknow how’ you guessed it, but geewhiz, you ought to be learningSOMETHING at college. There area great many uninteresting peopleconstantly popping in and out ofthe locker room, and most ofthem are football players orathletes. There is also the crosscountry team. All of which makesthe locker room a great place tohang around if you’re interestedin good singing (and who isn’t?)or bad puns (who is?).♦ * *There are many reasons whythe best singing on campus may befound at Bartlett. First and fore¬most, of cour.se, are the showers.Nothing is so conducive to vocal¬izing as a good shower, and youall knoW' that Bartlett has a per¬fectly gorgeous battery of ‘hot (sometimes) and cold" showers.Why these showers can make evena wrestler sing, and if you readthe papers you know that wrest¬lers .... or wrasslers, as it issometimes spelled.. . seldom ex¬press themselves other than bygrunts. To be sure the wrestlersdon’t sing much except “PullBoys Pull,” but we don’t hold thatagainst them....not much! Butlet’s get on with our story as theburglar said when he leaned hisladder against the second floorwindow.* * *Everything considered, thecross country team supplies by farthe best close harmony in the lock¬er rooms. The football playersare usually too sleepy after lyingaround on the soft grass all after¬noon, to sing much. The tennisplayers are always busy calculat¬ing their net profits and losses,and the swimmer^ are a lot ofpool-room hounds. But the cross¬country men! Ah what lungs thoseboys have! How they throw them¬selves into their songs! (No Os¬wald, they won’t sing “Deep Riv¬er’’ by request.)• » •Incidentally, a member of thecross-country team had the honor(?) of pulling the season’s worstpun. It seems there are twotrack men named Moore. Well,someone asked one of them if hewas related to the other. He said no. Then, for no good rea¬son, the thinnest man on theteam began to list all people nam¬ed Moore he could think of. Afterrambling on for about five min¬utes, during which time he men¬tioned several hundred well knownMoores, including George Moore,Prof. Moore of the philosphydept., and the Moors in Spain, hecame to a stop. Some dumb bun¬ny piped up, “Betcha can’t thinkof any more Moores.’ “I can too,”the thinest man on the squad re- Iplied. “Why I’ve left out the most |important Moore of all.” Every- Ibody bit hard. “Who izzie?” theychorused.He stood and thought a fewminutes and then replied quick asa flash, “Vive I’a Moore!”Aw Nuts.Yours truly,Itless* * *And that’s from our new friendItless who does not sign his ownname on account of he is veryshy and timid-like. He says he isa freshman and as he has so muchtime to waste under the new sys¬tem he has come to know everyprominent student intimately, bysight.Thanks for the contribution It-le.ss and we would be very inter¬ested in the story that you spokeof about the brief case that hadthe words “To Women ^whoLove” on the outside. Come around and whisper it in our earand we’ll tell it to the Phoenix.« * *And now we have another lit¬tle girl who has lost her ring.She dinna ken where, but it hasan A. T. 0. crest.

Deathsresulting from football injuries are few; the unfortunate thing isthat the few which do occur are so highly publicized that the worldat large gets very excited about them indeed.Behind the screen of ballyhoo, professionalism, and “over¬emphasis” which has been erected around modern college foot¬ball, the game itself remains an admirable and worthwhile one.Of necessity, it builds strong bodies; it puts a premium on abil¬ity to make correct decisions; it emphasizes skill, speed, deception.All of these things, say the critics, may be accomplished by a lessdangerous, though perhaps less spectacular sport. The one thing,however, which football offers to a degree that no other gamedoes, is the development of teamwork. If, on any one play, anyone of the eleven men on a team shirks, or falls short of perform¬ing the duty assigned to him, the play is almost sure to fail. Infootball, more than in any other competitive sport, the interests ofthe individual must be sacrificed to the success of the group.There are many men who take away from three years of col¬lege football, apparently, nothing more than a sweater with a letteron it, a good wind, some fine memories, and a caved-in knee whichhurts whenever the weather is damp. Few of these men, however,would admit that the game is not worth the candle; and we think jthat they are right. Despite its critics, football remains the greatAmerican college game. Let us, then, bare our heads in memoryof Cadet Sheridan, who gave his life for his alma mater; but letus close our ears to those who recommend the abolition of college jfootball. ICAMPUS POLITICS—OLD STYLEOn November eleventh, a president of the Senior class will be !elected by a pitifully small handful of that Senior class. It has al- !ways been so in the past, and will presumably be so in the future, jUndergraduate elections, conducted under the supervision of the |Undergraduate council, are controlled, generally, by the bandingtogether of a small group of fraternity men and club women tovote for a previously-agreed-upon candidate.This is possible because, and only because, so few of the stu¬dents are interested in tFie election vote. In last year’s election forUndergraduate council representatives, an average of about onehundred votes were cast in each of the Senior, Junior, and Soph- jomore classes. Each class numbered around five hundred; all were |qualified to vote. When it is considered that the class representa- |tive on the council is supposed accurately to represent the sentiment |of his class on matters affecting all undergraduates, it can be seen jthat this is a sad state of affairs indeed. Only one-fifth of the classshowed interest enough in the outcome of the election to vote; veryfew can be expected to take any interest whatever in the activity oftheir representative after he is elected.It is this attitude of the undergraduate, we believe, which isresponsible for the emasculation of the Undergraduate council, whichhas done nothing worthy of mention since we have been in school,save recommend its own abolition. The first step toward changingthis attitude is for the undergraduates to get out and vote when¬ever an election comes along. The first opportunity to do this isat the election for senior class president. Full details of how andwhere to register and vote will be published in The Daily Maroon.The Daily Maroon earnestly recommends to senfors at the Univer¬sity that they come out and cast their ballots in this election; if theydo, it will mark the end of the domination of campus elections bya small, “select” group.—L.

Then per¬haps you .see the remainder of thehea.st’s skeleton, where it has beentill l ied for millions of years. The en¬tire section of rock is dug out,< arefully covered with strips of bur¬lap. and transported to our labora¬tory. When the rock has beenI hipped away, missing parts recon¬structed, and the job finally mount¬ed. the task of obtaining one speci¬men may have consumed severalmonths’ time.” On the table in Mr. Miller’s shopI noticed several slabs of rock, withstrange marks upon them. “They arefootprints,” I was told. These delv-ers into the pa.st even bring back thefootprints of the creatures whosebones they seek!As a result of Miller’s expeditionsinto the Southwest and his searchesin the Texas Red Beds, WalkerMuseum now has fossils of animalsfrom the Permian geologic periodthat exceed in number and valuethose of any institution in theworld. The Permian period was thatduring which animals first left thewater, and amphibian types beganto change into the reptile forms,learning to live on land and devel¬oping the organs which we land animals have today. The collection inWalker has aided science in fillingmany,of the gaps in this evolution¬ ary .story.The most famous individual in ;.Mr. Romer’s museum is a “stem rep-'tile”. He lived during the Permian 'period; those who know agree thathe is the most primitive reptile everfound, and is the only skeleton inexistence. Mr. Miller dug him outof Texas soil. A Russian paleontol¬ogist recently gave as his main rea¬son for coming to this country thedesire to gaze upon this reptiliangentleman.I asked Professor Romer alsoabout the University expedition to.South Africa which he led in 1929.South .Africa is rich in fossil mate¬rial. and although North Americahas been a very lucrative field. Rom¬er and Miller were not satisfied withtheir already large collections.“There was a gap, an age, fromwhich we had no specimens. It wasa transitional period, too, duringwhich the primitive, sluggish reptileswere changing into the dino.saurs,flying and water reptiles,, and even I .the first birds and early mammalswished to secure the skeletonsof animals that lived during thatperiod. Our expedition was financ¬ed partly by the University and part¬ly by a Chicago citizen. We were inthe field for nine months.The discoveries made on that expedition are now safely preserved inWalker museum. Ever since theyreturned these two men have been working upon them, studying the iniplications of their structure. It is astudy which has contributed in greatdegree to the scientific knowledgeof these ancient reptiles that livedin South Africa. And the expedi¬tion is known as one of the manysuccessful ones which Universityscientists have led far afield fromtheir campus laboratories.Incidentally, the door man at Walker. . . Mr. .African Pareiasaur. .was found on that trip. He is mount¬ed in his case just as he was dis¬covered ... in a death posture, .stuckfast in the mud of a forgotten riverbank.(This is the third of a series ofweekly articles on the worth ofoutstanding University institutionsand personalities.

Pictures appearas regular as the writeups. But—and to come to the point of this long-winded column—who ever saw an ar¬ticle about a gym team.So far so good. Carrying on un¬der the assumption that athleticsshould be devoted to the processes forthe perfection of the body, suchsports as tennis, gymnastics, boxingand wrestling were introduced. Thereis no question in the minds of peoplethat know what .they are talkingabout that these sports are valuableto the contestants.Unfortunately, the rub comes here.In these days when railroad fares arehigh; schimmels cost ten dollars; andconcrete for stadia costs about threedollars a square yard—athleticscost money. For some reason, peo¬ple don’t w’ant to pay money to seegymnastic meets and water pologames. .4s a result basketball wasinvented. This didn’t quite fill the Yes, they do appear—but how ir¬regularly, A two-inch squib on aninside page of a downtown paper re¬ports that Chicago won the Confer¬ence gymnastics title.

The rule cover¬ing this follows: A ball kicked offwhich goes over the goal line with¬out being touched is a free ball. Toobtain a touchback, the receivingteam must touch the ball down. Theball is then put in play on the re¬ceiving team’s 20 yajd line. If suchisn’t done and the kicking team re¬covers the ball, a touchdown will beallowed.

This is an admirable desire, if it does not prove entirelyfutile. There are many University students and Faculty memberswho want the news of the quadrangles without having to go to toomuch trouble to get it.For those people, the DAILY MAROON is inaugurating a newservice.Beginning Wednesday, October 28th, people can get copies ofthe paper at convenient locations. There will be a desk in the corri¬dor of Cobb hall at which students can pick up the pap>er by card, ifthe card states that Cobb Hall is the station. If their card states anyother station, it can be changed at the Business Office of the DailyMaroon. Individual copies of the paper can be bought at the desk.Also, the Maroon staff is running a survey to find out at whatpoints the most people will want to buy individual copies. Two sta¬tions will be the war veterans who sell apples in front of the Pressbuilding and at the Quadrangle Club, across from Reynolds Club.If there are any suggestions which the student body or the facultywish to offer to better the conditions and delivery service of theDAILY MAROON, the Maroon will 1^ glad to give them seriousconsideration.Our aim is to make the DAILY MAROON one of the greatestfactors in the lives of students of the University.
