GEORGE MORGENSTERN RAPSMOULTON ABOUT ‘‘NEW PLAN”“If the President and the facultyhave started from a faculty blue¬print, and made only inadequatepreparations, that will only add tothe epic of their accomplishment,should the reorganization succeed.It is a heroic handicap—as if Co¬lumbus had bored a hole throughthe bottom of his flagship beforeventuring out to cross the unknownAtlantic.”Thus does George MoivT^Scern,journalist and recent graduate ofthe University, take issue with Dr.Forest Ray Moulton, ex-astronomerand World’s Fair director, in theJanuary issue of the University ofChicago Magazine. Dr. Moulton hadpredicted failure for the reorganiza¬tion in the December number.College Is Cloister for SpiritCommending “the intrepid ideal¬ism that is implied in the new plan”,Morgenstern raps Dr. Moulton forrefusal to realize that “the Ameri¬can college is not, in ideal concep¬tion, a business training school, buta cloister for the spirit.”Universities have diffused theirinstruction where they ought to con¬centrate it, he claims, in the estab¬lishment of specialized schools.Tracing the evolution of Ameri¬can university education throughthree successive steps since 177.5,Morgenstern points out that the newexperiment is the early phases. Firststep was the production oi clergy¬men with an incidental veiTcer call¬ed “the gentleman’s education”.Intellectual Frenzy Frowned UponNext came the wave of prosperitywhich enabled “the people of betterblood” to send their sons and daugh- I ters to college “with the convictionthat intellectual enthusiasms weresocially not good form.”Came the deluge to which Mor- ,genstern attributes the downfall ofthe American university. “The sec- :ond invasion followed w’hen it be- |came apparent that America’s ma- |terial genius couldn’t help making ieveryone prosperous. The loan !shark, the Sicilian in the ditch, the jpoor white, all sent their boys to jcollege—indeed, to Harvard. |Serious Student Demands More‘‘.And because this new type o!‘student came from a heritage ofpoverty and repression, he appre- iciafed bis opportunity more, he de- 'manded more of college—and hecompleted its wreck. For, in his eag¬erness to retain his social advances, ihe asked, not that college shouldbe a cultural experience, but that it.should fit him for a material ca¬reer.”Morgenstern believes that the newplan will solve the problem.-, inher¬ent in ma.ss education. “FeW^r andbetter graduates will result,” he de¬clares. “Such a system discouTage>that ‘democracy’ which has become,with the wholesale dissemination otcollege degrees, simply an intellec¬tual trade-unionism.”While an undergraduate at the! University, Morgenstern edited the! Phoenix for two years, helped Mil-■ ton S. Mayer write the book for“The House That Jack Built”, the1929 Blackfriars show, won a PhiBeta Kappa key and served as Mar¬shal. He is the brother of 'William ;V.

FRANKENSTEIN.Eric De Lamarter and the Chi¬cago Symphony orchestra brought acurious kind of program to Mandelhall yesterday afternoon—a programthat was almost all new to mostof us, this writer not excepted, butwhich had no novelty, Wc leardfirst a suite from Rameau » **?ar-danus,” a set of lovely old Frenchdance measures, arranged for themdern orchestra by Mr. De Laraar-ter. It was followed by Hayd T“Midday” symphony.The “Midday” is o^e of the earli¬est and least performed ot tne mas¬ter’s works. If, as a Polish critic hassaid, Haydn is a gi-eat prose stylistand Mozart a poet, Haydn, a*, tnetime he wrote the “Midday” had notmastered anyidhing more involvedthan the simple declarative sen¬tence. The sentences are admirablyput, but the work "as a whole willnot bear comparison with the Salo¬mon symphonies. The “Midday” isactually a sort of borderline work.Its solo violins and ’cello relate itto the older concerto grosso, w'hileits sequence of movements relatesit to the later symphonic pattern. Third on the progi-am was DeemsTayFor’s suite, “Through the Look¬ing Glass.” Previous hearings hadconvinced me that this is no greatshakes as a piece of music, but atMandel hall yesterday all my ob¬jections to it seemed rather futile.Every charge one may lay againstit was substantiated, but so beauti-1fully was the work performed that jthese charge.s seemed, for the time Ibeing, meaningless. The music hasno personality. Its “Dedication” iscounterfeit MacDowell, its Jabber-wocky” counterfeit Ravel. Its“White Knight” theme is as h.inala tune as one may hear. The hum¬or of its battle and death is singul¬arly labored and ineffectual com¬pared wth Ravel’s “Beauty and theBeast,” from which it seems to beimitated. And with it all, “Throughj the Looking Gla.ss” under DeLamar- jter was a most charming and re- jfreshing experience.The concert ended with Glazun- ioff’s fourth sym'iThony. This wouldbe good music to hear if one hadsomething else to do. If one washeddishes while listening to it one wouldat least have a stack of clean dishes^when the symphony was over.Reporter Doesn’t Quote Mather But TracesCareers of Editors, Waiters After CollegeBY DAVID C. LEVINE 'What happens to big shots oncampus after commencement? Thi.sburning question was stirred up un¬wittingly by William Mather, Blir-sar of the University, in a recentconversation. When interviewed onthe subject, later on, Mr. Mather jsaid, “Whatever you do. don’t quote jme on this matter, I merely re- Imarked that in my opinion although :ex-editors of The Daily Maroon areusually successful, ex-head-waitersof Hutchinson commons are prob¬ably just as successful after leav¬ing the University. But don’t quoteme on this because you’ll probablyget it all WTong.”Well, the point of the mather isthis: names of various ex-editorsand ex-head-waiters were selectedmore or less at random, in true scientific manner. The lists were jthen turned over to Charlton Beck,head of the Alumni office, who com¬piled the results in the presence ofunprejudiced judges.Several startling facts were re¬vealed when the survey was com¬pleted. It wa's discovered that manygraduates of Hutchinson commonsare distinguished teachers, lawyers,and doctors. On the other hand,former Maroon editors are now tuc-cessful teachers, lawyers, und ad¬vertising men.In the ex-waiter group for ex¬ample, are Circuit Judge Link ofLaPlorte Indiana; Percival Bailey,Professor of Surgery at the Univer¬sity of Chicago, and of course DeanSpencer of the C. and A. school.In the other group, however, are(Continued on page 2) Troyer Will AttendStudent Conference STUDENT WORKS OFART SHOWN IN IDAEnos Troyer, president of theUndergraduate council, will attendthe Mid-west Student conference tobe held in Knoxville, Tennessee, onFebruary 11, 12 and 13.

SimonAssistant: Melvin GoldmanWednesday, February 3, 1932A NEW ACADEMIC UNITFor the unusual student, the advent of the Uni¬versity’s new plan—which has become so familiarno longer to be written with capital letters—marks the downfall of all academic units; the manis. in truth, at liberty to educate himself. For theordinary student, however, who finds it necessaryto attend his survey courses in order to be ableto pass the comprehensive examination for grad¬uation from the College division, a new academicunit, the year, has been substituted for the oldunit, the quarter.The extensive staffing necessary to administercne of the four survey courses—in the Human¬ities, the Physical Sciences, the Biological Sciences,or the Social Sciences—makes it impossible to be¬gin any of the surveys more than once a year.The surveys are begun in the fall, and run through¬out the year. Entrance of students at the begin¬ning of the winter and spring quarters is, as arule, discouraged. The reason for this move isobvious; a knowledge of the subject-matter ineach of the four fields covered by the surveycourses is indispensable in passing the examinationfor graduation from the College, and an averagestudent would find it difficult in beginning a gen¬eral course in its second or third quarter. Specialreasons may make advisable the admission of a.‘.tudent in the middle of the year, and in suchcases there is no requirement forbidding his ad¬mission.What of the summer quarter) During the pastseveral years, a trend toward a smaller and small¬er proportion of Junior College students in resi¬dence during the summer has been observed—andJunior College students under the old plan cor¬respond to today’s students in the College. Thepresent plan is merely to bring this trend to itslogical conclusion, by offering fewer and fewerCollege courses during the summer. On accountof the difficulties in staffing the general courses,as indicated above, none of them will be offeredduring the summer. It is believed that the sum¬mer quarter may be profitably employed byearnest students in educating themselves, this selfeducation being one of the prime aims of the newpla.u in any case.A trend toward the frank recognition as one-year courses of what have previously worn thedisguise of “a sequence of three related majors”can also be observed in the College. Such a se- jquence as Physics 111, 112, and 113, or History171, 172, and 173, we will doubtless soon findlisted as a single course. This, after all, is as itshould be; the inaugurators of the new plan havedecried all hermetically sealed “major ” compart¬ments, and there is no reason for the wall betweenPhysics 1 1 1 and Physics 112, or History 171 and172, except the exigencies of intellectual book¬keeping which the old educational system imposed.An immediate breakdown of all the compart- I1 nients of learning which have existed in the Uni¬versity would lead merely to chaos, worthwhileas the ultimate removal of these arbitrary barriersmay appear. Recognizing this fact, the men incharge of making the new plan today’s realityhave begun their work by the inauguration of thegeneral courses, and the subsequent removal ofthe divisions between related courses in the sameequence. The quarter, formerly a self-containedjriit at the end of which a student breathed a sighand murmured. “Thank God. that’s over , hasbeen replaced by the year, a unit in itself, but notcne at the close of which a student can feel safein forgetting what he has just laboriously learned.Eventually, no doubt, the significance of allacademic units save only the learning each manhas attained will disappear in the same mannern which the significance of the quarter is today-decreasing, and the University is aiming at thisn3. When this has occurred, the educationalnii’lenium will be at hand. For the present, theplace of the major as a unit of scholastic achieve¬ment has disappeared, and the place of the quar-er as a unit of University attendance is rapidly-being usurped by the year.—L.

After thegame, in which he did not pick an}^ fights,and conducted himself like a little gentleman,he retired to his dressing room to changeNo one can figure out whether what followedwas the result of a cruel practical joke orwhether there was just a poor connection.However, Harry Ashley of Ashleys of Asfiville, the bucket-ball boss, came rushing upto Evans and informed him that there wassome Beat waiting to see him.

U., BURTON, PHI $IG, PU DET,TWO PSI U. TEAMS WIN l-M GAMESTHEATREbyJane KesnerCRITICAL CONTROVERSYfA-er since “Never No More”opened in New York early in Jan¬uary and closed subsequently aftera meapre ten days run—critics of(he J. Brooks Atkinson calibrehave been stirrng the ashes of thatnever quite dead fire—into whichcritics for hundreds of years havebeen pouring the embers of “justwhat consfitutes a play.”It seems that “Never No More”,which prompted the recent fire, por¬trays a lynching which James KnoxMillen had seen and thought to beexcellent dramatic material. Theplot deals with a family of industri¬ous negro farmers who are justreaping their harvest amid psalmsof thanksgiving, when a lynchingparty arrives to avenge the murderof a young white girl by the oneblack sheep of the family. The mis¬creant is burned on a flaming pyre,in an act which proved of sufficientdramatic horror to completely jarthe critical sense of many NewYork I'eviewers, who think that somuch horror is incompatible withdramatic ethics, if the play can ac¬complish no actual “good”.The play will not put an end tolynching, they say, and therefore justwhy must it be? At the same time,they cry for “honest plays aboutcontemporary life” which shall edar-ify facts of life not usually under¬stood. and increase the commonknowledge of character under thestrain of crisis. That these two po¬sitions are in direct antithesis toeach other, it is unnecessary to say art, is created by and for—neitherreform nor inteHectual develop¬ment of the audience—but for emo¬tion. Looking at a painting, onedoes not ask for exact reproduction,nor for a pointed, flamboyant mor¬al—one only asks a certain inef¬fable reaction that is emotional re¬sponse. In the concert hall, theaudience does not seek instruction—nor in the theatre—they ask onlywhat Aristotle once called the'^purgation of emotions”. If “NeverNo More” could completely shakethe morale of New York critics tothe extent it has, it undoubtedly hasthe elements of emotion which con¬stitute effective drama.As for critical horror and the de-I sire for good wholesome realisticplays \vhich have been cited—doesrqality b^ong essentially to art?With impressionistic architecture,music, and sculpture, must the the¬atre be confined to exact reproduc¬tion? With men like Norman BelGeddes creating backgrounds whichaim solely at impression and not atall at reality, in the grosser sense,are critics forever going to demandsolidity in a purely aesthetic realm?Real drama—is a conflict interms, quite as much as free verseor free love. Reality and dramaticsignificance are divided irrevocably.The technique of the theatre is ar¬tificial. There would be no causefor a theatre if it were “real”. It re¬flects life like water reflects thesurrouilding shore, distorting it togreater beauty in its ripples, itsrhythms, its constant nuances. Solong as the shore exists, we can lookat it, evaluate it—but when we wantto love it, don’t we look at its re¬flection instead? The Psi U’s crashed through againin the Intramural basketball gamesat Bartlett gym last night when twoof the three teams they put on thefloor brought home fne bacon. The“A” team won from the AlphaBelts 30 to 19, the first “B” fivedefeated the Tau Belts 11 to 0, andthe second “B” team lost to thePhi Belts 40 to 10.D. U. won from S. A. E. 19 to13, Phi Psi lost to the Barbs 22to 19, Burton “500” defeated Jud-son “300” 20 to 9, and Phi Sigwhipped the Zeta Betes 37 to 6 inthe other tilts.Burton “500”, 20; Judson “300”, 9Raben and Post of the Burton ag¬gregation led the scoring with fourfield goals apiece in this one-sidedgame early in the evening. At notime was the winners’ lead threaten¬ed, the score standing 16 to 4 intheir favor at the half.Barbarians, 22; Phi Psi, 19The indepentent’s team wound upwith a spurt and took the gamewhen Chill and Wane counted along shot apiece, recovering from aone-point Phi Psi lead. The frat¬ernity squad held the edge duringthe first half, but the Barbariansrapidly piled up points. Poor pass¬ing by both teams was prevalentthroughout.Delta Upsilon, 19; S. A. E., 13Keogh was easily outstanding forDU with 12 points to his credit ina rather slow tilt characterized bypoor playing by both sides. Hornof SAE counted for most of the los¬ers’ total. The game was playedI through with four men on a side. Phi Sig, 37; Zeta Beta Tau, 6Phi Sig piled up an overwhelminglead over the Zeta Betes in the firsthalf, the losers never threateningthe 31-point lead, being handicappedby being forced to play with a four-man team. Smith, Schmidt, andOvson did all the scoring for thewinners, the latter being high-) ointman. No good playing was display¬ed, and the Zeta Betes managed toscore only one basket in the secondhalf.Phi Delt, 40; Psi U. 11, 10That the Psi U’s can’t have i ireewinning teams at once was attestedby the defeat of their second teamat the hands, arms and lers of thePhi Belts. The game stdiTea withfour men on a side. When eachteam put a fifth man in the winners^started piling up their unbeatablelead. Cimral accounting for the ma¬jority of the Phi Belts’ points.Psi Upsilon I, 11; Tau Delt, 10In the fastest and closest game ofthe evening the Psi U. first “B”league team stepped out and de¬feated the Tau Belts to the tune of11 to 10. There wasn’t a dull mo¬ment in the contest, the lead ^^e-sawing back and forth between thetwo aggregations. Hilton was out¬standing for the Psi U’s in the mat¬ter of points, piling UD two fieldgoals and a free shot in r low-scor¬ing tilt.Psi Upsilon “A”, 30; Alpha Delt, 19The third game in which the PsiU^s figured was close through thefirst period, the sere being tiednear the end of the half, when Stagg gave the winners a 6-point lead byputting the sphere through the hoopthree times in quick succession.Hoagland and Alger, also starred,each accounting for 8 points.
