Kvery student who had a con¬ference with his Dean last year wasa.eked to fill out an analysis blank onwhich he judged the factors affect-inp his academic work. Approxim¬ately one thousand of these blanWwere tabulated in an effort to finda remedy for the problems whichseemed to be causing the difficul¬ties. Dean A, J. Brumbaugh direct¬ed the survey, and recently com¬piled a list of books to aid studentsin meeting their problems more sat¬isfactorily."We feel that the statistics inthis resume are fairly representativeof the problems which trouble stu¬dents,” Mr. Brumbaugh said. “Theblanks were filled out without thesupervision of an instructor or aDean and therefore are the true ex¬pression of student opinion.”Good Health ImportantIn indicating the degree to whichpood health was an advantage, orpoor health a handicap in their work,four hundred and thirty-six studentsclaimed to enjoy good health, three-hundred and forty-six thought theirhealth was above the average, twohundred and forty-five said they hadneither exceptionally good nor un¬usually bad health, forty-four saidtheir health might be better and twoadmitted poor health.One hundred and .seventeen saidthat their study conditions were ex¬cellent in every way to the query asto what extent their UniversityWork was affected by the conditionsin which they studied.

SECURE STUDENT AND FACULTYOPINION ON COMPULSORY GYMA survey of the problem of com¬pulsory gymnasium for freshmenwho have entered the University un¬der a system in which no academicclass attendance is compulsory, hasbeen conducted by The Daily Ma¬roon. Opinions, gathered from di¬rectors and members of the men’sand women’s departments of physi¬cal education, other faculty mem¬bers, upperclassmen, and freshmen,have shown a wide divergence:Anion J. Carlson, Professor ofPhysiology, expressed himself as be¬ing opposed to compuLsory gym¬nasium work for three reasons: first,such an arrangement is not in har¬mony with the spirit of the newplan: second, the average healthystudent does a good deal of walkingabout and standing, especially in lab¬oratories, thus getting enough exer¬cise to keep him in good condition;third, there are no statistics to showthat gymnasium work appreciiblyincreases the health of an alreadyhealthy student. “Gymnasium workshould be put on the same ba.sls asthe academic subjects,” Dr. Carl¬son said, “it will be of most benefitwhen it is regarded as voluntaryplay, and not as a compulsory or¬deal.”Dean Chauncey S. Boucher .«tatesemphatically, “I believe that physi¬cal education should be voluntary.I should like to see intramural ac¬tivities developed and such attrac¬tive facilities for sports added thatthe student would want to take ad¬vantage of them without being com- Ipolled.”Dr. Dudley Reed, director of phys- jical education for men, summarized ;his view-point as follows: “In a cer- jtain sense, physical culture may be Iconsidered as education. In .so far ' as that is true, attendance of physi¬cal culture is small. College physicalal just as it is of regular collegeclasses. However, at the collegelevel the educational value of physi¬cal culture is small. Colege physicalculture is primarily a health meas¬ure rather than an educational meas¬ure. As such, it is entirely logicalto differentiate it. As a health meas¬ure, it should certainly be requiredof students. It mignt well be com¬pulsory for all students, graduate aswell as undergraduate, simply be¬cause it induces a higher level ofgeneral health and well-being.”Miss Gertrude Dudley, head of thedepartment of physical educationfor women, states “Human nature,under stress, tends to relinquish,first, physical recreation, second,sleep, and third, food. Therefore,under the demands of the presenteducational system, in reality moresevere than ever before, it becomesincreasingly necessary for studentsto obtain that physical relaxationwhich they have a tendency to aban¬don.”In contrast to these attitudes,Roy Bixler, University Recorder, be¬lieves that “Physical educationshould be consistent with the presentacademic system, and attendanceshould be optional, with, however,the reservation that at the expira¬tion of a stated period, say at theend of two years, the student shouldbe required to show himself ade¬quately improved in some field ofathletic activity, just as, in thePhysical sciences division for in¬stance, he must pass a comprehen¬sive examination evidencing hisprogress in that particular field.Deans William Scott Gray and D.(Continued on pegre 3)Artists and Problems Stage RiotIn Reynolds Club Little TheatreBY JAMES WEBER LINNThornton Wilder and the under¬graduates of the University of Chi¬cago put on last evening in the Rey¬nolds Club Theatre the finest mobscene since Elizabethan days. Theoccasion was the presentation ofthree of Mr. Wilder’s one-act plays,“The Long Chri.stmas Dinner”,“Queens of France”, and “The Hap¬py Journey to Camden and Tren¬ton”.“Queens of France” is a happy,conventionally-constructed, wittylittle comedy; nothing “new” in itexcept the theme, the plot, tho hu¬mor, and the human sympathy,which are to be sure “new” to mostone-act comedies, or at any ratenon-existent in them. It was effec¬tively presented, the varied tones ofthe one male character, M’su Cahu-sac, lieing particularly made effec¬tive by Dulaney Terrett. It was per¬haps more enthusia.stically receivedby the distinguished audience ofPresident Hutchins’ friends thanwere the other two pieces.But the other two were the ex¬citing pieces. They involved some¬thing new to the stage; deliberate ,disregard of the conventions of 1time and space. Tn “The Long'Chri-stmas Dinner” the action coversninety years in half an hour; in“The Happy Journey” it covers ahundred miles of New Jersey spacewithout a change of set. The prob- jlem of the conceptions and the prob- |lems of presentation struggled and |fought like a crowd all trying atonce to get through one gate to afootball game.I thought they all got in; inother wmrds, I thought the “illu¬sion” was perfectly preserved. In“The Happy Journey” I am sure itwas; in “The Long Christmas Din¬ner” there may have been a doubt.When actors are called upon to agebefore the eyes, not as Sir GuyStanding does in “Mrs. Moonlight”with an opportunity to change make¬up behind the scenes, but literally with no change of make-up beyondthe open assumption of a shawl or agray wig, the demand is terrific. Ithought only Fritz Leiber Jr. as“Cousin Brandon” met it entirely.Moreover, a “set” which involves somuch of the symbolic as does that of“The Long Christmas Dinner”should be, really must be, beautifulto be real; and the stage set was notbeautiful last night.Yet the “straight” acting was ad¬mirable. Edith Grossberg as “CousinErmengarde”, Dolores McRoberts as“Genevieve”, and Pat Magee as“Charles” may have been the best,but everybody was right, down tothe Nurse, who merely appears with¬out speaking. In .short, the dramawas illusive. Whether the poetrywas not a bit elusive might be ar¬gued; and “The Long ChristmasDinner” is (essentially a poem;something in the tone of RobertFrost, and as poignant as “The Deathof the Hired Man”, which in reality,nobility, and sympathy it somehowsuggests.Certainly, however, the wholemob got through the gate in “TheHappy Journey”, which might be en¬titled also “Portrait of .a NewarkLady Not in the Social Register”.Something of Dulcy is in “Ma Kir¬by”, something also of Mrs. Poyser,and something of immortal, aspir¬ing, serviceable motherhood. HesterAnn Thomas understood,^ as well asMr. Wilder her naive, common, iiTe-sistible appeal. Henry Sulcer, Jr.,as “Elmer”, carried out in action thefa.scinating precision of his make-up.The others (Sara Jane Leckrone ina big part, Hal James in a littleonb) were right as rain.Go to see the plays as entertain¬ment, and you will get ten timesyour money’s worth. Go to see thema.s significant of a fresh' point ofview in the theatre, and you will un-.derstand what Matthew Arnoldmeant when he defined cufture as “aknowledge of the best that lias beenthought and .said in the ■ world.” Leads Maroons in *32Don Birney, captain-elect of foot¬ball. Story on sports page.Wicks to Defend^Smooth ^ StudentsIn Chapel Sunday“Smoothness” as a national dis¬ease not peculiar to college studentsis the theme of a sermon to bepreached in the University chapelSunday morning by Robert RussellWicks, dean of the Princeton Uni¬versity chapel.It is a sermon that Dean Wickspreached at Princeton recently af¬ter Princeton’s football players, whohave lost seven games'in a row, hadbeen accused of being “smoothies”.The sermon and discussion which itaroused attracted country-wide at¬tention, for it bears directly on manyphases of campus life and defendsthe un'dergraduate from the chargethat they alone are seeking a “self¬sparing life” in a strenuous civiliza¬tion.Hothouse AtmosphereReferring to America’s hothouseatmosphere which has grown a typeof polished, well-dressed life. DeanWicks points out the small numberof students who share the responsi¬bility of campus activities. “But thisdangerous infection is not a college-bred disease; it is carried into ourcolleges from an older generation inthe well-to-do life of our age,” de-clai'es this eastern pastor.Fraternities will be discussed byDean Wicks, for he lielieves that“when any fraternity or club be-I comes proud of a reputation forfurnishing the lions who can shinein the artificial circles of the fourI hundred, it should be boycotted.”IGIVE EXEMPTION QUIZIN COMPOSITION FOR.

When ft student enters the University,he is seventeen, eighteen, or thereabouts; justyoung enough to be highly impressionable, andjust old enough to believe that he is really begin¬ning to understand Life (with a capital L). Inhigh school or preparatory school he has beencarefully supervised; his activities, friendships, andsocial life have, as a rule, been subject to theclose scrutiny of older people. His ideas of col¬lege and higher education in general have beengleaned from fiction, the movies, or by the boynext door who is a sophomore at Brown.At the University, he suddenly feels a sense offreedom, gf having been cast on his own as anindividual. He is, also, conscious of a certain feel¬ing of respect and awe when he contemplates the“important men” of the campus, the officers ofadministration, the instructors, and the Universityin general. He picks himself a hero and patternshimself as closely as possible after this person. Allof his experiences are new to him, and are excitingand inspiring for this reason. He is daily workedto an intellectual fervor by the eloquence andlearning of the lecturers whose courses he attends.The newness and pristine appeal of campus lifein one’s Freshman year have led many to claimthat this is the most enjoyable nine months onespends at an institution of higher learning.In his sophomore year, the acid of disillusion¬ment begins to attack the shining armor of beliefwhich one has set up concerning the actions andinstitutions of college life. Where nothing has oc¬curred during the first year to mar the illusionswhich have been set up in a man’s mind, he be¬gins at this time to question some of the ideas hehas formed. Closer association with and better in¬formation concerning the men and the institutionshe has admired since his entrance into the Univer¬sity begin to taint his original judgment.When a man becomes a junior, he definitelydiscovers that his idols have had feet of clay—that they are men with much in common withhimself, including failings. He has found that,in his classes, all that is really essential for a pass¬ing grade is to attend a majority of the lecturesand take a fair set of notes; if he is in a fratern¬ity, he found thert the name is largely a sham,and that petty jealousies and pt)|sonal animoitiesmay exist as well within its bounds as outside; ifhe is in an undergraduate activity, he has foundthat the best-fitted man is not always the one whorises to the top, and that dealings in despicable(he has always thought them so) campus politicsare highly necessary to what passes for success inthe little undergraduate world.In his Senior year, a man becomes either a non¬entity or an idol in his own right to some poorillusion-bound freshman. If the former, he is tre¬mendously discouraged by his lack of success orits undergraduate equivalent; if the latter, he car¬ries everywhere with him a depressing sense of hypocrisy and inadequacy. He is largely con-,cemed with “having a good time during his lastyear in school, ,and is at a loss concerning theexact place at which to start. He passes the en¬tire year in a kind of daze, wishing from time totime that he were graduated and out of school.After the passing of an absurdly short length oftime, which the University assures him is an acad¬emic year, our individual is handed a postage-stamp diploma with the blessing of President Hut¬chins. He leaves school and spends the entireyear wishing that he were back.On the face of it, this is a very depressing esti¬mate of the mental history of a college education.As a matter of fact, this very process of intel¬lectual disillusionment, undergone by most sensi¬ble people who attend college, is one of the mostvaluable experiences which it is possible to under¬go. The birth'-to-death training in the little hot¬house world of the quadrangles is, in effect, a rep¬etition of the life span of the individual. And.when one graduates from college, he is at leastprepared to receive a few kicks in the pants fromLife (with a capital L).—L. N.

He came to the Univer¬sity on a scholarship from GrandIsland, Nebraska, where he was astar in football, basketball andtrack. Playing at quarterback, hewas named on the all-state team. Healso captained the basketball team,and was co-captain of track.His career at the University hasbeen largely confined to athletics. Infootball, he won full numerals asquarterback of the freshmen team,and a large minor letter in the fol¬lowing year as substitute back,sometimes at quarter ana more of¬ten at half-back.

Orloff Arthur GearySergeant Karloff ....Frank LymanWith six stars and many accessorysatellites—numerous soldiers of theRussian and Austrian variety—pretty peasant girls and much artil¬lery—the Great Northern’s 1931 op¬eretta marches by. And save forits personnel, the color of the uni¬forms in question, and some newsongs—there is not much to distin¬guish it from any other operetta ofthe Great Northern variety.It is just another tragedy in theworld of the theatre that the oper¬etta type of stage production hasbecome hopelessly stereotyped. Withevery possibility of varied colour inblending drama with music and song—authors persist in the followingunbendable formula:1 lovely but unhappy soprano1 Dennis Kingey hero1 handsome, rapacious villain1 roly poly inn keeper2 persons of the varsity drag va¬riety (one masculine, one feminine)several accessories to the schemesof villain and hero1 chorus of women to list^ to theheroine’s melodious wailsMix well together and serve withpicturesque costumes, and a soldierchorus. And so, “Marching By”, Natalie isthe first ingredient. She has a veryfine voice which Chicago heard whenshe was here in “Three Little Girls”and which won her a stellar placein the American Civic Opera Co,Unfortunately, her acting abilitylies only in that voice and her effortsat emotional portrayal consist, forthe greater part, in falling all overthe stage. Guy Robertson does wellin his impersonation of the famousDennis King; and fortunately, Mr.Ceeley as the villain, quite eclipses him. Leonard Ceeley, in fact, is afine representative of operatic pos¬sibilities. He has a good tenor voiceand his performance is full of en¬thusiasm.As the invading Russian Com¬mander, he routs the Austrian forc¬es of which Mr. Robertson is awounded remnant, dresses the hero¬ine in jewels and velvets, and quitecompletely scorns her when he dis¬covers that she loves another—which she does with much gusto and(Continued on page 4)More than something to eatEven the best foods cannotbe enjoyed thoroughly unlessthey are accompanied by anatmosphere such as GreenShutter’s.
