And so,Business ManaKer McMahon madeplans for Freshman women to .sellthe next issue when it comes out onthe 20th.The blow to Editor Tovrov wassomewhat tempered by the an¬nouncement of Lydabeth Tressler,president of the council, that thematter would be reconsidered at thenext meeting. Rumor has it thatthe Interfraternity council will be( ailed into service in the capacity ofan advisory body. The club presi¬dents resolved that the only way toiret around the edict of last year’sfracas was to have another compe¬tent oriranization i.solated from theclub women to read the ma^zineand return a decision as to whetherthe above-mentioned club womenshould be allowed to read the above-mentioned mafiTftzine.Unfortunately, the tragedy of thematter lies in the fact that EditorTovrov was banking on the clubwoman distribution system so heav¬ily that he had gone ahead and or¬dered the content of the next issueto be “seventy percent stepped up”.•Now, another barren Phoenix is inMJfht.Rumor has it that the club womenare di.scussing the possibility of in-'^tijrating a “blacklist bureau” where¬by all Freshmen women who sell theI’hoenix will be automatically placedon said li.st whereby they will be«liminated from further considera¬tion as lush material for the clubs,i his was vigorously denied by vari¬ous feminist leaders yesterday. Because of the limited number ofpositions open on account of the pre¬vailing business conditions, men andwomen in the University who desireplacement upon graduation in Juneare urged to register immediately atthe office of the Board of VocationalGuidance and Placement.“Due to the fact that a greatnumber of seniors have neglected toregister until May or June in previ¬ous yeai’s, many have found them¬selves without positions at convoca¬tion,” says John Kennan, directorof the office.The Board has made it a practiceto bring representatives of leadingfirms to campus to interview seniorsseeking placement, but is delayingits invitations to representations thisyear until it can determine the na¬ture of the positions desired.The process of registration issimple, and is the only permanentcredential registration system usedby Universities in the country. Thestudent .secure three business place¬ment credential forms at the officeof the Board in Cobb 215. Theblanks are filled out and mailed tothe office by tKe three facultymembers whom the student has pre¬viously named as references. 'I'hecredentials are sent to firms wherethe student has sought a position,or are placed on file in the officewhere they may be examined byrepresentatives interviewing the stu¬dents on campus. They are kept onpermanent record and may be usedas references at any future time.The Board succeeded in placing alarge number of graduates lastJune, but were .somewhat hamperedin their efforts due to the fact thatso many seniors postponed reglstiation until the last month.A series of pamphlets has beenprepared by members of several de¬partments or those interested in thevarious vocations. Copies may be se¬cured free of charge at the office ofthe Board.

Such acatastrophe occurred on the openingnight of “Grand Hotel”.It was the moment when MissLeontovich a» Grusinskaia, the danc¬er, entered her room and thinkingshe was alone bemoaned her declin¬ing popularity. Albert Van Dekkeras the Baron-burglar sat unnoticedby the dancer whom he intended torob. .\nd then, he fell off his chair!Eugenie was only able to carryon because of her complete under¬standing of the character she por¬trayed, when the audience went intohysterics?. Her understanding of theplay was assisted by the .short lineswhich her limited knowledge of Eng¬lish quickly grasped and thus lefther time to study the acting.In discussing “Grand Hotel”,Miss Leontovich remarked on theunique musical and lighting effects.There are seven or eight musiciansplaying a continuous stream of Ger¬man music from a gallery just abovethe back of the .stage where theyget their cues from the changes inlighting.Blumer Sails for Paris Saturday toLearn What Milady Wears and WhyHold Debating TeamTryouts Monday forMeet with PittsburgIryouts for the University De¬bating team will be held Monday at4 in room A of the Reynolds clubbouse, under the auspices of the De¬bating Union.

That is thequestion which Dr. Herbert Blumer,a former star guard with the Chi¬cago Cardinals, and now AssociateProfessor of Sociology at the Uni¬versity, sails for Paris Saturday toanswer.It is not as fickle a quest as mightseem at first glance, for it is to bea serious case study in Social psy¬chology that is to be made by Dr.Bfumer, who has received a SocialScience Research Fellowship for1932.He will *attempt to determine towhat extent the leading coutouriersof the world fashion center foreseemilady’s notorious whims.

Thurstone, professor ofPsychology, is the compiler of thetests. Since 1924 every enteringstudent has been required to fill outthese questionnaires at some timeduring Freshman week. ProfessorThurstone’s examination have beenadopted in a number of universitiesand colleges throughout the country.On this year’s list all eleven aremen. Last year, when ten werelisted highest, two of the studentswere women. On the list releasedby the Examiners six of the elevenare from the Chicago area, whilelast year seven out of ten were fromthe city and suburbs.Dugald McDougall, whose scorewas among the eleven highest, gain¬ed publicity last quarter as being theyounge.st member of the Freshmancla.ss. He is 15, and entered theUniversity with a higher averagethan any other entering student.The purpose of these psycholog¬ical examinations is to determine ifthe student is capable of collegew’ork.

COfcDS f»ROTEST BEDROOMt STORY”. The Chicago U. coeds ahd the Uni-! versity in general received this welcome publicity! for several days. The women were shocked ascould be and the current issue of the Phoenixwas completely sold out the day the boycott wasinaugurated.One of the women on the staff preferred anhonest penny to spurious virginal idealism and re¬mained with the magazine as circulation manager;the editors of the publication capitalized on theboycott and did pretty well for the rest of theyear. This year, the club girls’ boycott was initiat¬ed as a standing policy of the Interclub council,and none of the girls, by their own statements,have since read the magazine. It appears thatthe boycott can never be lifted, for while it is inexistence no loyal club woman can read a mag¬azine; and if the Interclub council does not readthe publication it dares not lift the ban and ex¬pose the innocent womanhood of the Universityto the reputed smut and slime of the pornographicold Phoenix. Something, too, ought to be done 'about the Freshman women, who are the most !impressionable of all. They are SELLING thePhoenix!—L. N. R., Jr. 1934 EXECUTIVECOUNCIL ELECTSYOUNG, HOLAHAN WiFriday, January 8, 1932“HELL WEEK”Around this time each year, anxious Freshmanmen await with trepidation, not unmixed withpleasurable anticipation, their initiation into thefraternities to which they have respectively pledg¬ed themselves. Brothers in the bond, for the 'most part, look on the initiation as a somewhatboring but none the less necessary evil. Initiationof new men into a fraternity, with some pompand ceremony, will be necessary as long as there 'are fraternities, but the puerile and childish activ- iity which has come to be called “Hell Week ” is ■neither necessary nor beneficial; is, in fact, defin¬itely harmful.There is no necessity here to c<e the practices *indulged in by some of the fraternities during theweek preceding their initiation ceremonies—prac- itices designed to degrade, shame, and discomfort ;the luckless freshman. Nor is there necessity to jcite the arguments of good sense which have been Iadvanced against such practices; they have been |heard often enough. What we wish to do here jis to commend the fraternities which have alreadydone away with the distasteful features of the pre¬initiation period, and to point out to the otherGreek-letter groups that they might follow thesame procedure. After all, the status of manyfraternities on this campus is precarious enoughso that they might well think twice before en¬dangering their reputation by the sort of publicsilliness Hell Week has come to mean in manyinstances.THE PORNOGRAPHIC OLD PHOENIXWe cannot but be amused by the club girls’perennial boycott of the Phoenix; we have so beenamused for some time. Waiving, for the presendiscussion, the question of whether the magazinewas definitely pornographic or not (we saw aloop revue last night; it was more suggestive thananything we have seen between the covers of thePhoenix, and will the Interclub council boycottit? No.) we should like to dwell for a time onthe essential silliness of the attitude and actionwhich the Interclub council has maintained in re¬gard to the so-called campus humorous monthly.The inauguration of the boycott was one of thegreatest exhibitions of salacious snoopery andgross bad taste that has been seen at this Univer¬sity for a long time. The magazine printed astory which dwelt, perhaps a little too badly, onthe facts of life which we are all supposed tp knowabout but not mention in public. Aroused there¬by, a group of Senior women and the Interclubcouncil—organized and faced with the embarras¬sing situation of having nothing to do—seized thisopportunity to make a step toward advancing thepurity of womanhood in general and that of Uni¬versity women in particular. They declared thatclub women would eschew the Phoenix.The afternoon papers, only too glad to happenon a story of the kind, printed pictures of Hon¬orary Colonel Barbara Cook saluting the Amer- The Travelling BazaarBY FRANK HARDINGToday we had nothing to do with ourspare time so we fulfilled a longstanding re¬quest by coming to the aid of Politics.

WhatLuke proceeded to do was to just keep mumand not show up for the date, hoping thatperhaps Kay would forget about it. Kaydidn t forget; so now Luke spends most ofhis time dodging in and out of doorways inhopes that he won’t meet! her.What with all the punch boards that arefloating around the various fraternity houses,someone ought to be making some money.You know the kind we mean, the boards onwhich, for 35c, you get the privilege ofpunching some girl. One is all the time pay¬ing 35c and never winning, or ever hearingwho won, the blanket." pen set, clock, orwhatever it is. The boards are never com¬pletely punched out so,what money is takenin goes into the pocket of the operator of theboard.

Fifteen Teams toBattle in AnnualPrep Swim MeetFifteen swimming teams from thehigh schools of Chicago and its en¬virons have signified their intentionof entering the Eighth Annual In¬terscholastic Swimming meet of theUniversity which begins this even¬ing at 8. The finals will be held to¬morrow at 2:30. This meet will fea¬ture four of the fastest free styleswimmers in high school competi¬tion. Diamond and Hamrin of SennI will be matched against Hickey ofj Tilden and Tischler of Schurz.I Main Township High School, win-■ ner in 1931, has a strong team thisj year but Englewood, Evanston, andj Tilden are always strong contenders! for the title. All of the teams haveI proved their merit in city meets so! far this .season and the pre-tourna-' ment dope gives no advantage toany team. The strength of the; teams varies so much from year toI year that no sure winner can beI predicted before the actual runningI of the events.I A regulation limiting the number, of events each individual swimmerI can enter has greatly increased theI competition in two events, the 100 |; and .the 220 yard free-style.i The entries from Chicago are:j Hyde Park, Tilden, Senn, Lane,i Englewood, Schurz, Roosevelt, Fen-: ger, Harrison, and Austin. ThoseI from the suburbs include Deerfield-Shields, Evanston Township, Main; Township, and Morton. ,I Senn has not placed better than' fourth since 1926, but they haveI a strong and versatile outfit thisI year which has a possible chance ofj winning the title. Main Townshipj was very poor before last year andj is not outstanding this year. TildenI copped the title in 1927 and again in1929 and the team has this seasonan unusually well-balanced team inall departments. The teams fromthe suburbs do not seem to havethe capable representation which theChicago schools boast, but Evanstonhas a team of more than ordinarymerit.The Chicago meet has gained areputation throughout the countryas being the most important meet COURSE IN CdSUlMEART IS STIU GFENEVENING SWIM PETITION. isnM-Lii'Q* ;1 do favor an evening recreationaldo notswimming period for the Bartlettpool.HERBIE KAY\And His OrchestraFeature aSeries of COLLEGE NIGHtSEvery FridayNO COVER or MINIMUM CHARGEDinner 4=Served 6:30-9:30 Week DaysSunday 12:00-9:30CONTINUOUS DANCING6:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. Wk.

They offer a con¬trast to the similar American typeof production with a performance atonce quaint and sophisticated, color¬ful and emotional.Mr. Balieff, himself, is a drollmaster of ceremonies who learneuhis stage technique in Stanislavsky’scompany, which he left to pursue thecomic stage. To that end, in 1908he opened The Bat, a super cabaret,devoted to the antics of his troupeof reviewers; and constantly chang¬ing their repertoire, they achievedsufficient success to warrant a tourunder the French appelation.“Chauve-Souris” (The Bat).Years of touring Paris, London,and occasionally the United States; —have had their effect on the cos-j mopolitan atmosphere of the revue;and at present, Russian, French, andi English numbers are included. The1 first part of the program is devotedto group singing and dancing by acompany of Russian arti.sts who ded¬icate themselves to their work withan emotional gusto rather new toAmerican revue audiences who arcaccustomed to smartness rather thanemotion, and eccentric rather thaninterpretive dancing.The similar comparative valuesare apparent in “The Queen ofSpades”, a fantastic drama, foundedon the story by .41exander Pushkinand presented in a series of seventableaux and given in English.Cast:Hermann Gcorfc HayfezYoung Countezz. . . .Irina Antard'^aDuke of Orleanz TthorkazzkyCount MayzeenkoLisa Helen ICingzteadOld Countezz Mafia AultTomzky Gakffirjr KingOf the entire program, “TheQueen of Spades” holds the mostsignificance for American audiences—partly because it is more closelyparallel to the dramatic productionsof the theatre we know, and less na¬tional in character—but chiefly be¬cause it exhibits the famed tech¬nique in staging utilized on the Rus-.sian stage. With the minimum instage properties, Balieff presents theseven scenes, with rapid shifts oflight rather than furniture, using il¬lumination, color and music toachieve the emotional backgp-oundagainst which the action moves toits swift, tragic climax.It is quite evident in every .ure-sentation that these three—lighting,color and music are closely boundtogether in the Ru.ssian stage con¬sciousness. “Primavera” an old Vi-ennse waltz is presented in the thir<lact with the utmost in harmony be¬tween bodily, instrumental, and col¬orful rhythm—a rhythm which audi¬ences of any nation can understandand appreciate, a fact not quite sotrue of several .satirical numbers,whose pointed humor is lost in theforeign language, and which depend Ion pantomine for any appreciationthey may receive. Even pantomineis inadequate in several cases, wherethe .satire is aimed at a target whichis too far away for a Chicago audi¬ence to see; and the parody on anopera presented sixty years ago inParis is utterly lost.But whatever ma.v be crude inskit, is more than saved by thewealth of music by modern Russiancomposers, the gay costumes and.scenery, and the rich voices of menand women who follow Balieffaround the world “for the sheer joyof trouping”.FOR FOFFEOF OIRLSGnuIuHteB or Un(l«rirrRduBt«B. 8ii• • • monthM of thorouirK tminiriff—putinto a three rnontht* intensive cOu^■e fbr ifirls teboknow how to Send tndsv for HuPetlnCourses «Url Oeiz.hrr J, Jantii.r)) !«April J.July 1MOSiKII Hl'Sr.MilSiSi I’OLl.liOKTkf huMxrumu ; k u ffniirrai'ls •'116 South !Hiclii|{«ii .4vrt:iie, ChicagoFh«tiir Kamlulph 484T.
