Working on this theory, themembers of the school have playedsuch a significant part in city andnational social reforms that it now1- the research agency to which mu¬nicipal and national groups con¬stantly turn for information andadvice. .4nd the leaders of thisjrraduate school—Miss Edith .Abbottand Miss Sophinisba P. Breckin¬ridge, have become social service au¬thorities of international fame.A Pioneer SchoolWhen President Harper foundedthe University, he had been told bymany people of the lack of trainedsocial .service workers. He con¬ceived the pioneer plan of offeriiijcollege training in the science of social service, and the present grad¬uate school is the result of manyyears’ growth of such clas.ses on thistampui..Miss Abbott and Miss Breckin¬ridge believe, “It is our duty totrain .social workers—to send stu¬dents out, under supervision, to en¬gage in field work and investigatesocial problems and the agenciestrying to meet these problems. Butthis might ju.st as well be done in away that will benefit the in.stitutionsthat are being investigated.”So it is that these graduate stu¬dents from the University are notengaging in research merely to dis¬close facts, but in order that some¬thing may be done about the factslevealed. The results are legion.A reorganization of the Boys’ courtand the court of Domestic Relationsin Chicago came as a result of in¬vestigations made by this Universitydepartment. Whenever the city’s Ju¬venile court wishes information, oradvice about the treatment of a‘ii'e, it is to this source that court‘ tficials turn.City StudiesAt the request of the health de¬partment chief several years ago,these .students made a survey ofhousing conditions in Chicago andpresented their recommendations tothe city council.

Chorines forMirror ShowIn RehearsalTwo Choruses CreatedBy New PolicyTwo Mirror choruses are now inthe first week of rehearsal for “All’sFair,” the 1932 revue which is sched¬uled for February 26 and 27. Thedivision of the chorus into two sec¬tions marks an innovation in Mirrorpolicy: the regular chorus consistsof seventeen members who are underthe direction of Miss Bertha Ochsner,ballet coach of the entire show, whilethe smaller “tap” choi’us is composedof eight under Barbara Cook, pro¬duction manager of Mirror and mem¬ber of the cast in several past revues.Four additional chorines were se¬lected from the group of candidateswho appeared for the special try-outwhich was held last week as an ac¬comodation to those women who hadbeen ill during the try-outs at theend of last quarter, or who were en¬tering the University for the firsttime this quarter as Freshmen ortransfer .students. These four, name¬ly Mary Ellison, Kathryn Heil, Ger¬aldine Smithwick, and Lorraine Wat¬son, have been added to the regularand tap choruses.Most members, of the tap chorusparticipated in the Mirror dancingclass which was organized last yearas a preliminary training for chorusaspirants. Miss Edith Balwebber,in.structor in the department of Phy¬sical Education, and author of thefirst complete book on “tap” whichhas been published, directed the classat that time.

FRANKENSTEINHad the inquiring reporter whowrote yesterday’s mystery storyabout Hans Kindler gone to Mr.Kindler’s recital at Mandel hall yes¬terday afternoon (as he might havefor all I know) he would be ableto report that Hans Kindler is anexcellent ’cellist above the G stringand something between a full organand an orchestra on the G and C.Furthermore our assiduous newsgatherer might report that Mr. Kind¬ler is an artist of rare taste andimagination, a player who combinesan amazingly powerful and suppletone w’ith perfect technical com¬mand and distinguished musical in¬telligence.All these qualities were obviousthroughout the recital, but mostparticularly in the Bach third suitefor ’cello alone and in the Debussysonata. Mr. Kindler’s performanceof the latter work led one to sus¬ pect that, like the last quartets ofBeethoven, the three sonatas withwhich Debussy closed his careerhave been gro.ssly underrated by hiscontemporaries and immediate suc¬cessors. It is nearly twenty yearssince these sonatas) were written,but to the majority q^ ^Cfritics theyhave yet to take their place along¬side “The Afternoon of a' Faun,”“Pelleas,” and the cbther acceptedDebussy works. Hearing Mr. Kind¬ler yesterday afternoon one wasready to admit that* thb 'cello son¬ata, at least, should r| be placed inthe great line of French music, andthat the creative impulse that ledto its composition repiYesented some¬thing new and highly valuable inDebussy’s evolution.There was nothing at all to snarlat in this recital, but a* I captiouscritic, willing to go ou;t. o^f his wayto find material at wfhichTo cavil,might have discover'eff' it'-*In Mr.Kindler’s printed ptogiam. He calledthe second movement 'Debus¬sy “Serenade fantastiape^’^wlyle De¬bussy himself called it"^ ^im^ly,,“Ser¬enade,” and gave the’ liam'e “Hab¬anera” to a composition that Ravel, the composer, calls “Piece in the! Form of a Habanera.” Trifling ver-; bal subtleties, perhaps, but verbalI subtleties can make a w’hale of a: difference in dealing with DebussyI and Ravel.The excellence of artistry display¬ed in the recital extended to theaccompanist as well as the so».>ist.Mr. Ralph Angell somehow managedto clip a mute on the piano whenMr. Kindler muted the ’cello, so closewas the accord between the two.(Suggestion to the inquiring re¬porter—next time you want to lookup musicians try the dictionaries ofmusical biography on the openshelves in Harper reading room.)The next concert of the MandelI hall series will be given by the Chi¬cago Symphony Orchestra, conduct¬ed by Eric DeLamarter, on Feb. 2.It will bring forward a rather un¬usual program—a suite from Ram¬eau’s “Dardanus,” the so-called“Midi” symphony of Haydn, Tay¬lor’s “Through the Looking-Glass,”and, as if in response to the requestmade, perhaps rashly, in these col¬umns some weeks ago, the fourthsymphony of Glazunoff. A Board of Examinations, createdto determine poficies governing theformulation and administration ofthe new comprehensive examina¬tions, has been established by theUniversity Senate, with George .41len Works, University Examiner,as ex-officio chairman. Under thedirection of this Board, a technicalstaff, working in cooperation withfaculty members from, each depart¬ment, is at the present time devisingthe examinations that comprise anintegral part of the new plan. LouisL. Thui’stone, Professor of Psychol¬ogy, is head of this staff of tech-nicra'ns and will be known as ChiefExaminer.Nine MembersThe new Board is composed ofChauncey S. Boucher, representingthe College; Basil C. H. Harvey,representing the Biological division;M. M. Knappen, the Social Sciences;G. S. Monk, the Physical science di¬vision; H. W. Prescott, the Human¬ities division; William H. Spencer,the School of Commerce and Ad¬ministration; and three appointeesselected by the President’s officefor their past experience in exam¬ination technique: l^alter Biartky,K. L. Holzinger, and Henry Schultz.The membership of the Board, itwas determined, must represent theCollege, each division, such profes¬sional schools as adopt the compre¬hensive examination plan, and thethree President’s appointees.This Board is a faculty, policy¬determining body. Under it is thetechnical staff directed by Dr.Thurstone, which will prepare thej actual materials for each examina¬tion. It is composed of five full¬time workers?, John M. Stalnaker,I Miss Ruth C. Peterson, James T.I Russell, R. W. Tyler, and Miss Carolj Verne McCamman. These individ-I uals have been brought to the cam¬pus because of their training instatistical and examination tech¬nique.Prepare Specimen TestsBefore the close of this schoolyear, typical comprehensive examin¬ations for all courses under the n^’-plan will be published in order thatstudents may obtain some concep¬tion of their nature. Meantime, thistechnical staff is cooperating withfaculty members now teaching sur¬vey courses in the preparation ofmid-term and quarterly examina¬tions; these tests will have no In¬fluence upon the progress or standring of students taking them, butserve as indicators to student andprofessor of the progress being made..4 number of these examinationsw’ere given at the end of the Fallquarter. Dean Works stated yester¬day. These quarterly examinationsare optional in most of the surveycourses.INTRODUCE JUNIORSAT FRIARS SMOKEJtThe first of a series of Blackfriar smokers during the wintequarter will be held this afternooiat 3:30 in room A of the Reynoldclub house.

HowardAssistants: Patrick and WakefieldW ednesday, January 13, 1932FRATERNITIES AND THE FUTUREThe recent withdrawal from the campus of oneof the social fraternities brings to mind the wholequestion of the status of fraternities here, nowthat the new dormitories have been erected, de¬ferred rushing has been inaugurated, and the Uni-v’^eisity has embarked on the realization of itsnew plan. Will the fraternities stand, or will theyfall? Will some stand and others fall, and why?Such a discussion cannot better be begun thanby blasting any suspicion which may be held byfervent though myopic fraternity men that theUniversity is subterraneously setting about to de¬stroy the fraternities. The University is, as itshould be, concerned only with operating the besteducational institution that is possible. If thefraternities prove to be indispensable or evenhelpful to the accomplishment of this aim, theywill survive. If they are definitely not necessary,they are destined for extinction merely throughlost student interest. The University is not onlynot hostile toward the fraternities; it has definite¬ly adopted a helpful attitude. The certainty re¬mains, however, that if the fraternities do not findfor themselves a place in the reorganized Univer¬sity, they will go out of existence, and their bloodwill be on their own heads.Certainly, there will be no possibility, in thefuture, that the raison d’etre of any fraternity willbe merely to provide a house and table for itsmembers. This can be and is being done just aswell, and usually more cheaply, for the non-frat¬ernity man in the new dormitories as it is beingdone for any of the fraternity men by his respec¬tive brotherhood. The new fraternity will have tobe more than a hotel.What, beside bed and board, has a fraternityto offer its members? First, a congenial groupof companions. We cannot help feeling that, es¬pecially after the advent of deferred and henceintelligent pledging, a man can do a better jobof picking his college associates than can the ad¬ministrative official who assigns rooms in a col¬lege dormitory. Second, the advantage of guid¬ance by older and more experienced men. It maybe easily seen that this may have either good orill effect, depending on the calibre of the menwith whom our fraternity man is associated. Third,an experience in doing things with a group whichmay be immensely valuable to the man who comesto college shy or selfish or otherwise apart fromthe normal. It is immensely more possible to de¬velop complexes in a dormitory room than it isin a fraternity house.We have touched briefly on only a few of theeffects which membership in a fraternity may haveon a man’s college life; yet, it cannot but be obvi¬ous that these effects may in the end be advan¬tages or disadvantages, depending on the man¬agement of the chapter and the sort of men whocompose its membership. The fraternity whichwould survive must offer these effects as advan¬tages.The reason that men are talking today aboutthe problems of the American college fraternity I js that while the educational system has advancedj far and fast in the last generation, the fraternities! have failed to keep up with the march of prog-! ress. Bound by a mass of tradition and a loyalj group of alumni who remember how things weredone “in my day, ” they have, almost of neces-j sity, lagged behind in the educational procession.■ Now that they are faced, at the University, with[incontrovertible financial facts, the fraternities areI bound to realize that the time has come for themI to adapt themselves to the new trends in educa-I tion, or perish.The ways in which this adaptation can be madeI are manifold an|d are being offered pretty fre-i quently these days. Each fraternity, no doubt,! has heard something on the subject from its alum-! ni. It is not our place to consider critically theproposed new definitions of the place of a frat¬ernity in the University; we are content withshowing, as we trust we have, that fraternities atthe University are standing at the crossroads. Theymay continue on the road most have been travel¬ing, and almost inevitably perish; they may pause,take stock of themselves, and proceed to occupythe position of an important adjunct to the newAmerican college life.—L.

Of course, we know that Mr.Tovrov is supposed to be a professionalfunny man; so perhaps that explains why hethought the article was not funny. Further¬more, we wish to inform the rest of the pro¬letariat, who did not understand that the ar¬ticle was a humorous one, that there is noblacklist for girls that sell the Phoenix. Infact as far as the clubs are concerned (as¬certained by private interview with EmmaClutch, president of Cry Too Hard) thegirls may all hawk pornographic literature onthe street corners and give readings fromLady Chatterly’s Lover in the circle and stillbe eligible for pledging. . . .

One young freshman by the name ofHart was doing some violent agitating aboutit and was stopping everyone he would meetin the corridors and asking them if theythought the University was as lousy as he did.One day he ran into a fellow that disagreedwith him in every way. The fellow he metasserted that he could find nothing the mat¬ter with the arrangements and all in all itwas an excellent place. The Freshman wasevidently impressed by the lack of force hisarguments had with this loyal man so he fin¬ally had to be content with asking him if hehad been here long. ‘‘Oh, yes,’’ answered thestaunch fellow,’’ “quite some time. I’mMather the Cashier.’’* *Out of the story of the punchboards comes^another chonicle of graft. ’This time it ison Luke Galbraith who sold a whole punch-board—offering as a prize a $22.50 camera.After having sold the board for about $25.00he bought a camera, which was apparentlythe same, for $9.00 at the Davis Store, andgave that away as the prize. .

This game gave evidence ofthe fact that the ball players of theclass of ’35 may be even better thanthose of their highly-touted predeces¬sors of the cla.ss of ’3 1. Coach Pagosaid, however, that it was too earlyin the season to generalize on theabilities of the men who have notyet been tried sufficiently to learntheir real merit.The men who have shown up wellin scrimmage are Patterson aridBaker centers, Clarke, Lovett, andCullen, guards, and Flinn and Vor-hees, forwards.Before the Wisconsin game nextSaturday, at 6:45 P.

Special emphasis was plac¬ed on certainty in passing whichwas somewhat lax in the Minnesotagame last Saturday.The Maroons will be at a di.sau-1vantage when they meet Wisconsinbecause, their lack of height. TheBadgers have a combination at cen¬ter and guard in Oakes and Reweythat average over six feet twoinches. Another alternate guard,Wickman, is of the same height.Coach Norgren said yesterday,“We will be up against a toughteam, although they lost to PurdueMonday. The other three men on theBadger team. Poser, Nelson, andSteen, form a fast combination withthe griants of the squad In the Boil¬ermakers, Wisconsin ran up againstthe best set of forwards in the con¬ference.” The Maroon wrestling team willengage in its first meet of theseason when they meet Iowa StateTeachers college, Saturday eveningat 8 in Bartlett gym.

Try¬outs in all weights which startedyesterday will continue today andtomorrow. Results of the tryoutswhich were held yesterday show:118 pound class, Lewis won a fallfrom Hecker; 135 pound class,Sherre won a fall from Dooley; 145pound class. White won a decisionfrom Bargeman; 155 pound class,Hubbard won a decision from BohHoward; 165 pound class, Betravawon a decision from Heide; and inthe heavyweight division Scolumwon a fall from Barnett.In the lineup Saturday, Lewis,118, is almost sure to wrestle as heis a veteran of two seasons. Lastyear he took part in only a fewmeets due to a broken arm sustain¬ed at Penn Stale. Material is veryslim in the 126 pound class, the mostlikely choice in this weight beingFeltbein. Several other men in thisdivision are ineligible.Sherre will probably fill the 135pound weight, although he will comedown to 126 pounds for later meets.At 145 pounds, Coach Vorres is un¬decided between White, Bargeman,and Bion Howard.Bob Howard or Hubbard is thechoice in the 155 pound division forSaturday.

It matters not at allhow little her lover may really be.In the light of her love for him, heis a supreme human, a knight whocharges forth each morning on the8:15 to battle with the dragon ofindustry; and returns at night, how¬ever beaten in the struggle, to her,a brilliant victor.It IS a difficult role in a playwhich could easily fall into the utterslush of sentimentality. That itskirts the border and does not quitefall in is an achievement not somuch for Mr. Pollock as for MissPhilips, who gives her Jennifer justenough humor to keep the play bal¬anced. There is a delicate shadingbetween the purple patch of senti¬mentality and the old lavender ofsentiment; and Miss Philips is astuteenough to shed the necessary pallor.Mr. Pollock works on the theorythat drama can achieve emotionalheights through the medium of peo¬ple who are on the same level asthe (people on the other side of thefootlights. That such a theory can¬not produce tragedy of Shakesper-ian proportions is obvious. Thatsuch a theory can produce dramawith a high degree of poignancy ismade evident in “The House Beau¬tiful”.LIND’S TEA ROOM6252 University Ave.Special Luncheon 40cDinners 50c and 60ctMfT.
