It was a Playfest whichmoved with a blithe, stacatto rhythm,quickened at each intermission bythe mellow humor of Fritz Leiber.Mr. Leiber, whatever his protesta¬tions to the contrary, enjoyed tothe full his appearance as “fatherof Fritz Jr.”—free of his usualShakespearian garb and rich in an¬ecdote of a stage career which par¬alleled, humorously, the experiencesof the cast, many of whom weremaking their first appearances. Withhis introduction, the program waslaunched to a flying start. The au¬dience was still in the throes oflaughter evoked by “Mr. Fritz”when the curtains were drawn forthe comedy of the evening, “Broke”,by Fred Sills.Comedy—Pat Magee and Alice Stinnett,fraternities, the clubs and honors,report that work is proceeding »ap-| Dramatic associationi productions, caught, with customaryJohn Crowley, representative of | ease, the Sills humor; and carriedMonday and ThursdayBusy Days In HarperMore students use the main read¬ing room of Harper library at 3 intbe afternoon and at 10:15 in theniorning' than at any other hours,and Monday and Thursday are thefiu.siest days, a survey of statisticsthe pa.st three years revealedyesterday.

BROOKBY MAXINE CREVISTONIt’s a deep dark secret, but thewomen of the University have form¬ed a new habit—one that is not vi¬cious, bad, nor depraved—a habitthat has resulted in a new feeling,a different atmosphere of informal¬ity, a spirit of comraderie: it is theafternoon tea-drinking at whichMrs. Alma P. Btook. new head ofIda Noyes hall, presides.Each week-day afternoon (Fri¬days excepted) one has only to dropin casually to the library and loungeto discover just how intrinsicallythis habit is becoming a part of thenew regime. A scattered, informal,chatty group of thirty or fiftyyoung women cluster there, thegroup dwindles affS again increasesas new tea-seekers arrive and othersleave for some engagement. Butheart and center of that group isMrs. Btook, ready with a warmfriendliness to meet each one.Little would the critical by-stand-er- believe that Mrs. Brook has beenassociated with the University forso short a tinTe as one month, thatin that period of time she could haveestablished so definite a contact withthe students who throng the hall sothat they feel quite free to attendthe teas, and, 'more significant, thatthey care to return another time.No one clique has assumed the tea-drinlcing “habit”; there is no clique,and It is possible that here is the nucleus for a type of informal as¬sociation which can cut across thedisintegrated gi’oups of students whoattend the University, and whichshould find the point of convergencein Ida Noyes, a hall designed forthe activities of all University wom¬en.Undoubtedly her own experienceswith women in other colleges, notonly as an undergraduate at the Uni¬versity of Kansas, but also as chap¬erone and house manager at theUniversity of California, and morerecently as director of Corbin hallat her alma mater, have played apart in Mrs. Brook’s creation of acongenial atmosphere in Ida Noyes.Her enthusiasm and personal likingfor the new position, are also im¬portant, and account for the pop¬ularity of the library at tea-time.The greatest contrast between herpresent work and the old rests large¬ly in the fact that the Universityis a veritable “city within a city”,and that students are drawn fromall parts of an urban area, ratherthan located definitely upon a cam¬pus in a small community.But those aspects fade away andone remembers only fhe spirit ofhospitality, the warmth of new con¬tacts, the light drift of women’s con¬versation over tea-cups.. .and thefriendly nod of Mrs. Brook. Supposeyou drop in after gym;, or that aw¬ful meeting, and try the new “hab¬it”—but it’s a deep, dark secret. bookstore, Woodworth’s, the In¬formation office, the Reynolds club,and office of Btirton court and TheDaily Maroon office also have a sup¬ply of available tickets.Last night the film was shown atan alumni gathering at the MorganPark Military Academy and was verysuccessfully receivW.

The concluding num¬ber, “Lord We Pray Thee” by J.V. Roberts, is a setting '{rf the ‘“Col¬let for the seventeenth Sunday afterTrinity.”\ UNIVERSITY PREACHERberg, George Mann, and HelenSchheller have managed the dialectwith surprising ease; and NormanEaton has directed the play withastuite sensitivity. These first twoplays balance each other with pre¬cision—both dealing with parent-children conflicts in situations di¬verse enough to make one a com¬edy, the other a tragedy.Fantasy—Mr. Leiber liked it too—and thenthe scene shifted from the tragicto the fantastic, with the prologueto Carter Johnston’s “Retrial”.Here, on a darkened stage beforethe Pillar of Judgment, sit the tor¬tured souls of five people who havestrangled each other’s lives intomishapen things when they livedand loved together down on earth.It is a vivid, exciting prologue,which one wishes could have beenfolloweif into the body of the playitself to see if Carter Johnston hasmaintained the same tempo through¬out. As presented, with only thefaces of the actors visible, charac¬terization depends entirely on voice—a (nfficult feat for amateurs.Charlotte Abbott as the mother andFritz Leiber Jr. as the father suc¬cessfully achieved their intonations.But that the plays were well pro¬duced and acted, and contained, forthe most part some merit in them¬selves—is not the sole significancenor the chief importance of Play-fest.

Consid-able confusion prevailed uwtil mid¬night, while campus policemen triedto discover the owner.Amid the giggles of excited wom¬en peering from hall windows, per¬turbed maids, angered policemen andan inquiring Daily Maroon reporter,the brave owner had easily disap¬peared. Reinhold Niebuhr, professor ofSocial Ethics at Union TheologicalSeminary, New York city, and anoted lecturer and writer on con¬temporary social and ethical prob¬lems, will speak Sunday morning at11 in the University hapel. Profes¬sor Niebuhr’s topic is “ClilristianTrans-Valuation of Values.”This is the third consecutive yearthat Professor Niebuhr has visitedthe campus as a University preach¬er; on every occasion the student at¬tendance at the chapel service hasbeen greater than that attracted byany other speaker, with the possibleexception of Norman Thomas, social¬ist leader. Mr. Niebuhr, for seve^'a!years, has been considered a con¬spicuous critic of the present socialorder from the standpoint of re¬ligion. He is a contributing editorof “The World Tomorrow” and “TheChristian Century,” and is a fre¬quent writer in the columns of the“Atlantic Monthly.”A Social CriticCharles W. Gilkey, dean of theUniversity chapel, yesterday statedthat among contemporary thinkerson social and economic problems,Reinhold Niebuhr is conspicuous asone who combines a religious phil¬osophy with his critical social atti¬tude. “He is the most sought afterpreacher to student audiences of anyman in the religious world,” DeanGilkey believes.For ten years before he assumedhis teaching duties in New Yorkcity, Mr. Niebuhr was pastor of achurch in Detroit, which became,under his leadership, the headquar¬ters for social liberalism in that city.At Union seminary, he is now con¬sidered one of the most significantforces influencing student thought.Author of BooksMr. Niebuhr has just published anarticle in the January issue of “TheAtlantic Monthly,” entitled “Perilsof American Power.” His recentbooks are “Does Civilization NeedReligion?” and “Leaves from theDiary of a Tamed Cynic.”The service in the Chapel Sundaymorning will be preceded by an or¬gan recital at 10:30. The regularvesper service in the chapel at 4:30is being replaced by a concert giv¬en by the University choir.Another opportunity to hear Rien-hold Niebuhr speak while he is inChicago is offered by the SundayEvening club’s meeting this Sundayevening at 8 in Orchestra hall.Claims Bible TeachesDoing Trifles Well“How to do small things in agreat way and how to put trivialitiesinto a grand pattern is the lessontaugh by the New Testament,” saidProfessor Edgar J. Goodspeed of thedepartment of New Testament andEarly Christian Literature in an ad¬dress on “The Bible as a Guide toPersonal Religion” yesterday inBond chapel.The Bible, Dr. Goodspeed believes,is the most interesting book on themost interesting subject in the worldand is the guide to the moral statureand inner life of man. “Its power,nobility and wisdom are never out¬worn but continue to give to manthe g;reat intuitive assurances heneeds.”TKe series of lectures on the Biblewill be continued today by DeanCharles W. Gilkey of the Universitychapel who will speak on “The Bibleas a Source of Preaching Power”.\, JJ .Page 1 wo THE DAILY MAROON, FRIDAY JANUARY 29, 1932iatlg liarounFOUNDED IK 1901THE OFFICIAL STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THEUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGOPublished morninffs, except Saturday, Sunday and Mond^.durinK the Autumn, Winter and Spring quarters by The DailyMarcnm Company, 5831 University Ave. Subscription rates $3.00per year: by mail, $1.50 per year extra.

ThompsonAssistants: Herzog and AlvarezFriday, January 29, 1932FREE SPEECHFreedom of speech is a modern invention, onein the promotion of which no one has any definiteinterest, and one which is destined for extinctionby the end of the next century, Bruce Bliven,managing editor of The New Republic, told anaudience of Yale undergraduates a week ago.Depressing though this sentiment may seem, it isnevertheless supported by what seems to be goodevidence.The recognition of free speech—including free¬dom of the press and of writing in general—as ageneral right dates back no more than a coupleof centuries. It is an outgrowth, according to Mr.Bliven, of easy times and laissez-faire government¬al methods. Freedom of speech as it exists to¬day is far less extensive and universal than is gen¬erally supposed. Most men favor free speech al¬most exclusively for their own ideas; almost notat all for those of others. What is constructive crit¬icism and comment to one is dangerous propagan¬da to another. The line between treason andlegitimate comment on current government iswavering and ill-defined.Only in times of governmental crisis is the dis¬tinction between thoughtful, though radical, ex¬pression on the one hand and treasonable prop¬aganda on the other clearly drawn. When the ma¬chinery of the country is running smoothly enoughto satisfy most people, they refuse to be startedout of their complacency by what they regard assemi-maniac frothings at the mouth; i. e., some¬one else’s opinion, which differs from theirs inimportant respects. When all is not well, the citi¬zen is likely to lend an ear to any soapbox oratorwho has a panacea for the ills besetting the gov¬ernment, just as an invalid despairing of medicalcure is likely to try numerology or become a yogi-On these attitudes toward public utterances isbased the governmental attitude toward freespeech. When the people won’t listen, say anythingyou want; when they will, be careful.A government which is earnestly interested inthe advance of a certain project will suppress freespeech to the extent to which it interferes withthe conduct of that project. Witness the internalcondition of any country engaged in war, or thevirtual absence of free speech observed by manycommentators on Russia under the Five-Year plan.TTie current economic crisis and the reconstruc¬tion in our economic system which Mr. Bliven seesas an inevitable consequence of the depressionwill result, he predicts, in the stifnng everywhereof the recently-granted prerogative of free speech.While the new economic order is being erected,people will be marshaled for specific purposes;they will be told certain things and kept in ignor¬ance of certain others, in order to further theseaims. A tendency toward this end is already vis¬ible in our present society, according to Mr.Bliven.Such a philosophy as this tends a certain airof futility to the efforts of the University, or of any institution of higher learning, to teach thefundamentals of political science to its children,unless the ones so instructed are to be those whoheld the reins in our propagandized society-to-come. Our present democracy and its attendantdemagoguery are the despair of intelligent com¬mentators on government; the revocation of theright of free speech and the management of gov¬ernment by the intellectually fit who have no per¬sonal axes to grind would, probably, result in agood deal more efficient economic operation thanhas been observed in the past. TTie prospect,however, is by no means a pleasant one, nor oneflattering to the average level of intelligence in theworld today.When the Millenium arrives, and the public isuniformly intelligent and has had the advantageof a good education, there will still be differenceof opinion. Men will still prefer the applicationof their ideas to the discussion of them. It issafe to wager that if free speech is gone withinthe next century, as Mr. Bliven has predicted, itwill not be back for five centuries more.—L. N.R.. Jr.I The Travelling BazaarBY FRANK HARDINGIt’s about time for a Wilder story andwe’ve got a pretty good one this time (wehad a lot of Hutchins stories but we had tosell them to the Phoenix because we could notprint them in this sheet). It happened on oneof the lecture tours, Mr. Wilder was making,a very nice old dame .sat down next to him,and proceeded to engross herself in a bookby Rex Beach. Finally, after much silence, shecame to the conclusion that her Pullman seatcompanion was a travelling salesmen. Shethen lowered her glasses and frowninglyasked him if he had ever read Rex Beach.“No, ” responded Mr. Wilder and whenasked about Harold Bell Wright and JamesOliver Curwood he also responded in thenegative. “Ah, ha, young man you don’tknow what you are missing, ” she said. ‘‘Youshould read once in a while. It is all verywell to get down and grub for pennies, butdon’t neglect the finer things in life-culture. ”.... Mr. Wilder, did you never tell her?^ 4^We saw Hap Sulcer in the hospital theother day and they are threatening to thtowhim out soon, which won’t make him mad.flp ¥Itless came to us some time ago with astory of one of his smart Freshman friends.It seems that he was walking along the side¬walk by Eckhart in a light rain. The side¬walks there were dry and the freshman askedabout it, whereupon Itless explained that itwas because the steam pipes under that por¬tion of the walk kept it dry. That satisfiedthe freshman for a short time, but finally hebonered, “That’s all very good, but whydon t they have steam heated sidewalks allover?’’This is the last chance we will have toballyhoo the Freshman Formal to be heldin Ida Noyes. It would seem funny to go toIda Noyes in a tux. As it is whenever we goin there, we feel like ducking for apples.» » ¥This business of initiating freshmen seemsto have gone to the head of the Psi Us’. RedYcnmg made a bet with Chet Laing that hewould not walk down to the corner in hisbirthday suit; and Chet thought that was aseasy as taking candy away from a baby, andproceeded to demonstrate that fact . . . Allof which reminds us of what happenedaround here some years ago when an AlphaDelt agreed to run around the circle if helost a certain bet. He lost and in the car¬rying out of his wager he bumped into oneof the deans. The logical thing to do was toshow a touch of genius (not swearing thathe was waiting for a street car) so instead ofrunning back to the Alpha Delt house, he ranup the steps of th'e Beta house and with awild yell entered their doors.* ♦i; *ONLY EIGHTEEN MORE DAYS FEL¬LOWS! !

I BASKETBALL SQUADLEAVES TO AVENGEDEFEAT BV GOPHERSAs we came down Universityavenue the other day we observedseveral persons of a rather tenderape dashing around in the street onroller skates. 'Each w'as e<iuippedv\ith a stick, and we observed fhattwo were actually hockey sticks.The other two gentlemen, therewere four of them in all, had imple¬ments that bore a resemblance, how¬ever slight, to the sticks of the tirsttwo. Upon closer observance we.saw that here was a first class gameof roller skate hockey, and it may ;be that it will become a great game 1some day. The puck was of wood 'and the court of asphalt, but we :doubt if these would be specified in jany official rules. The fray endedwhen iiHe of the competitors washurt and went home crying.

Men Lack Confidence inShooting, NorgrenDeclaresBIG TEN SCORE:Michigan 38; Ohio State 25Arrangements have just beencomtHeted for the tennis team tomeet the Notre Dame squad here onMay 11. The match was arranged atthe suggestion of Jess Harper, NotreDame athletic chief. This is thefirst meeting in years, and may pos¬sibly be the beginning of athleticrelations with the South b%.nd in¬stitution to a limited extent. Thefact that the two schools are so nearwould seem to make this de.sirable(in most sports).Lonnie Stagg (Junior) tells usthat things have been fixed to haveseveral of the members of the Iowatennis team accompany the basket¬ball squad when they play in thefieldhouse on February 29th. An ex¬hibition match will be held followingthe cage encounter. This Ls the firstintercolllegiate indoor tennis meetthat we’ve heard of.<1 « * « 4iWe want to be there the first timesomebody breaks their neck fallingover that nice low net they havearound the ba.sketball floor in thefieldhouse. It ought to do the jobwell. The Maroon basketball team leftlast night for Minneapolis, followinga brief workout in the field house,in order to engage in a game withMinnesota tomorrow night. In at¬tempting to avenge their former de¬feat at the hands of the Gophers,the Midway squad is also strivingfor its initial Conference cage vic¬tory.Before leaving. Coach Nels Nor¬gren stated that his hopes for awinning combination were conting¬ent upon the building up of confi¬dence in shooting by the men. Claim¬ing that the men did not shootenough, he also pointed out thatwhen they did shoot, it was hurried¬ly and with little confidence in theirability. Paul Stephenson, flashy for¬ward on the Chicago team, is theonly man who has been hitting thehoop with any consistency, and dueto this fact, he has been closelyguarded in all recent games withthe exception of the Illinois contest,when he broke loose for 10 points.Ability to shoot accurately musttherefore be developed in the otherfour men on the floor, for one play¬er can not keep a team in the game.The Maroons enter the game atMinnesota a better team than theywere when they lost to the Gophersat the Fieldhouse 22-14. Their of¬fensive is greatly improved in ef¬fectiveness and smoothness, muchemphasis having been placed duringthe last week on working throughset defensives and on passing. Thedefensive aspect has also beenstressed in view of an effort tocheck the fast-passing Gophers.Some work has been done on break¬ing up a stalling game, such as wasemployed so effectively by Minne¬sota in their appearance on theMidway, but Coach Norgren express¬ed the hope that the Maroons wouldnever allow their opponents to getfar enough ahead to be able to stall.TRACKMEN MEET FRESHMAN-ALUMNI TEAMThe Maroon track team engagesin its first competition tomorrow af¬ternoon at 2:00 in the fieldhouse"hen it meets a squad made up offreshmen and former Chicago stars.The varsity team, built around butone letterman and few outstandingrunners, will depend upon it,«. ability to pick up a few points in each ofthe events to win this as well as itsConference encounters.Several events on the progi-amshould prove interesting, notably the60 yard dash, in which Bud East,former Maroon captain, is enteredas well as Wallace, Brooks Calkinsand Ramsay of the varsity.GRANADA CAFE6800 COTTAGE GROVENO COVERORMINIMUM CHARGESpencJ What You WantStay As Long As You Like“HARLEM KNIGHTSGREATEST OF ALL BANDS ftDORCHESTER 0074 - PHONES - HYDE PARK 0646\ Swimming Squad Prepares for OhioState; Polo Team Scrimmages /.

Three of his men canclick it off in less than this time;Ralph Earlandson, Larry Goodnowand Connelly.Earlandson has been clocked in 57seconds, while the other two areclose behind. Rittenhouse, a gen¬ eral utility man last season, can alsobe relied on for a good account ofhimself in this event.Goodnow, who has shown rapidand unexpected improvement thisseason, will also swim in the relay.Connelly is a marathan fan by pref¬erence, but he has learned to makegood time over the shorter dis¬tances—such as the 440.
