A, Stagg, di¬rector of athletics, said ye.sterday.’. his statement was made after sev¬eral Big Ten universities had an¬nounced that their minor .sports pro-graoLs for the year were to be great¬ly curtailed in an effort to balancetheir budgets.Because football gate receipts donot bear as large a part in the budg¬et of! the University’s athletic de¬partment as they do in those of otherinstitutions, minor sports here neednot be heavily cut in spite of thelessened revenues obtained this sea¬son.Ficfclhouge Poid ForFor example, both Stagg field andthe fieldhouse are fully paid for,whereas many Big Ten universitieshave heavy mortgage payments tomeet. Upkeep of the athletic plant,a large item in any budget, is hand¬led at the University by a generalfund.For these reasons the Universityis not obliged to curtail its minorsports program to the degree thatother Big Ten schools are. “I believethat the University will continue itsminor sports program through theyear with slight changes, if any,”Mr. Stagg said. “In my opinion thefull program should be continued ifit is possible to do so.”Begin RetrenchmentOhio State, Iowa, Northwestern,Indiana and Wi.iconsin have alreadybegun programs of retrenchment inthe field of minor sports.

Merriam of this University inan extended report on possible governmental con¬solidations which Professor Merriam has just com¬pleted. At the same time it is learned that Pro¬fessor Sophonisba P. Breckinridge and Dean EdithAbbott are speaking before the Illinois Confer¬ence on Social Welfare in a special plea for fed¬eral aid ot assist social agencies.The two instances, occurring so closely togeth¬er in the news of the week, illustrate the significantrole which the University and University facultymembers play in the life and affairs of the worldoutside the campus. With increasing frequency theknowledge and the techniques of the campus lab¬oratory or the campus research staff is being util¬ized by the government executive or the socialagency in solving problems or controlling condi¬tions existent in the society outside the quad¬rangles.The old conception that a college or university |should have as its only task that of educating the ,youth of the land within cloistered halls and in |an atmosphere unpermeated by the confusion and !the problems of world affairs is disappearing. It 'is disappearing because the outside world is be- !ginning to realize that in the social studies of uni¬versities and university students, in the politicalprinciples taught in classroom and seminar, and jin the exhaustive research of faculty members and ,graduate students, there is a great supply of in- jformation and helpful suggestion that can be |tapped in solving the problems of city govern¬ment, attacking the evils of social conditions, oradjusting the conflicts of human relations.More and more the universities of the worldwill be called upon by the society in which theyexist to enlarge their scope of service to that so¬ciety not only by training its youth, but by giv¬ing of their knowledge and techniques to the taskof building a saner, safer, and more habitable jworld.—W. E. T. IUNCURTAILED ATHLETIC OPPORTUNITIESith a number of Big Ten universities an¬nouncing material reductions in their total athleticprogram, particularly affecting minor sports, thestatement of Coach Stagg on the first page of thisissue is an encouraging one indeed. The Directorof Athletics at the University believes that therewill be no necessity for deflating the athletic pro- 1gram here, either in the various minor sports suchas wrestling, gymnastics and other activities, or inthe Intramural department with its many typesof activity.Big Ten schools all report reduced income from THE DAILY MAROON. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30. 1932football receipts this year, and it is football revenuethat underwrites the average university’s minorsports, which themselves produce little or no in¬come. Chicago has probably had a lower net re¬turn from its 1932 football season than most ofthe schools which have reduced their sports ex¬penditures. But the fact that other Universityfunds support a large part of the Physical Educa¬tion department’s activities, and the fact that thebuilding of the department, including the new fieldhouse, are paid for and do not require large ex¬penditures for interest on mortgages, makes it un¬necessary to curtail athletic opportunities on thiscampus because of a reduction in football income.The value of minor sports and of the Intra¬mural department’s widely-diversified activities isnot to be underestimated, for they really comprisethe year- round, central portion of the University sathletic program. It is in these branches of thePhysical Education department, which offer a greatnumber of positions and opportunities for actualparticipation upon the part of many students, thatthe goal of the department Is most closely attained:development in every student who graduates fromthe University a participating interest in one, twoor three sports as a carry-over in life after heleaves the University.Additional significance is given to these por¬tions of the athletic program of this University bythe new plan of study which requires greateracademic endeavor and application upon the partof its students. With the increased emphasis uponscholarship and scholastic achievement which thenew plan is creating, it is particularly fortunatethat economic conditions are not making it neces¬sary to reduce the opportunities for physicalrecreation and development available to Uni¬versity students.—W.

Theother day they got a bit too enthusiastic abouta tricky bit of choral singing, and Mr. Giesberthad to call for silence. Well, they didn’t wantto be silent. And they knew Mr. Giesbert’s na- •tionality. So they right away asked him did heknow any German songs.They had judged their man rightly. Mr. Gies¬bert was snared. He sat down with them, andthey all trolled out a few ripe German numbers.At the end of a very short time, Mr. Giesbertwas an ardent convert to community-singing.Things were really going good when he wascalled into the next room.It was then that the kiddies overplayed heirhand. They sruck up the Marseillaise. In atrice Mr. Giesbert reappeared. “Please,” he said;“there will be no more singing.”They paint now.. . .

He watched Bernie for a while, anxietyand commiseration writ large in each eye. Fi¬nally he said, “Is there anything I can do?”And Bernie, not to be outdone, replied, “Yeah.Go back to sleep. There’s no use of both of usbeing up.”. . . COULDN'T YOU JUST GAG? . . .A lot of people, reading this column . . .well, not an awful lot—probably wonder why wearen’t funnier; why we confine ourselves almostexclusively to dirt. Well, we’ll tell you. First(this is called “a”) we are fools for snooping.It’s just more fun to be scandalous than funny.And sccoud (“(>”, or “2”) our idea of humor isjust a trifle—what shall we say? What wouldyou say?Just to show you once, for example. We thinkthese gags are funny: The answer made by oneof our friends, who, when we said we had tohurry because we had to drop a book at theInternational House, said “Can’t you drop ithere?” . . . We think it’s funny that SchnozzleDurante can have fun on his own hook; thatCharlie Ruggles can’t get privately tight with¬out thinking of the money he’s losing; and whenwe told a friend that he looked very rocky, andasked him if he had been indiscreet the nightbefore, we thought his. answer was funny. Hesaid, “Naw, I was in de gutter.”Well, now do you see why we refrain fromhumor in this column? i Professor GideonseConsiders Foreign |War Debt Problemi(Continued from page 1) jCredit is destroyed (except on a jshort-term basis), prices fall, fac-jtories are shut down, and we have ^ ^“depi'^ssion.” This result follows inthe international setup just as sure¬ly as it follows in the case of privatebusinesses whose accounts receivabUare not paid.Another point (than which there |is nothing more misunderstood) in |regard to war debts is the question iof armaments. There is no necessary ;relation between a country’s, jability to spend money on arma- |ments and its ability to pay a for- Jeign debt. Payments on armaments |are made in the currency which the !government receives from its tax- ipayers. But’ payments on foreign .debts must be made in the currenc’ !of the creditor—in other w’ords they |involve a transfer of currencies. |Thi.s is usually a process of deflation, ,so to speak.But aside from this, America’s ■emphasis on its debtors’ increased'armaments is slightly impertinent if jnothing else, in view of the fact |that in the last decade our own ex- !penditures for this purpose have in¬creased four times as much as have :the expenditures of any of ourdebtors.In short, it is not the honor ofour debtors or their capacity to paywhich is the most important issue atthe present. It is rather our own in- itelligence in demanding and enforc- jing payment of our legral obligations.\nd in making our demands less .strenuous we are only following a iselfish policy which will result i :our own aggrandizement.HUETTL’S ART SCHOOLCartooninK.

But as time wenton and more and more girls everyyear graduated from colleges theybegan to take a second thought oftheir own .state of mind. Nowadaysall the average girls are college-bred—or nearly all.

NOVEMBER 30. 1932Anthropologist Describes Customsof Primitive Alaskan Indian TribeA primitive Indian tribe whichdraws finer lines of social acceptabil-I ity than any big-city society matron,; and which weighs social faux-pasi down to the fourth and fifth gener-’ ations, is described by Kalervo Oberg,j graduate student of anthropology ati the University, who has recently re-I turned to the Midway after spend-I ing a year with the Tlingit Indiansj of southwestern Alaska.I Oberg left Chicago last June to; gather material for a doctoral dis-i sertation on the social economy ofi the Tlingits, most northerly and mostprimitive of the Northwest Coastgroups, and spent seven monthssnowed in at the tiny Tlingit vil¬lage of Klukwan, tw’enty-five milesinland from the coast town ofHaines, Alaska.A Social Register!Social status is an all-importantfactor in the tribal life, Oberg re¬ported yesterday to Dr. Fay-CooperCole, chairman of the University’santhropology department. The “So¬cial Register” is complicated by fivemajor considerations which the localI Ward McAllisters must take into ac¬count, and disputes over social rat¬ing are not uncommon, Oberg said.Trained as an economist, Obergwas interested primarily in compar-I ing the process of the accumulationand distribution of wealth amongthe Tlingits with the same processamong modern white men. The Tlin¬gits are rapidly disappearing as aracial type, due to intermarriage withwhites and the inroads of white men’sdiseases, and only about 1,000 sur-viv'e along a 400-mile strip of coast,he found.Culturally, the Tlingits have alsosuccumbed to the white man’s ideas,but many of the older tribal prac¬tices persist, particularly the socialratings. Oberg sought to reconstructthe social and economic life of thetribe as it existed before 1900, andlearned much from the older natives, despite their reticence.Evidences of witchcraft, of thepurchase ot wives, and even of slav¬ery, still persist, Oberg found.Treatment of Criminal*“As is so often the case in oursociety, wealth is accumulated amongthe Tlingits not so much for realeconomic uses—that is, food, shelterand clothing—as for the attainmentof social prestige,” Oberg reports.“The difference is that the Tlingitis rated according to how much hecan give away.”“The noveau riche,” however .en¬counter difficulties in pegging theirstatus up, Oberg found. Family con¬nections, including class, clan, andhouse-group, and age, are primaryfactors. The Tlingit tribe is dividedinto two phratries _the Ravens andthe Eagles. There can be no marriagebetween members of the same phra-try, even though the couple are notrelated by blood; similarly the Rav¬ens build the Eagles’ houses, andbury their dead, and vice versa. Thepenalty for intramarriage was once death, and it is now ostracism.Criminals, under the old code,were not themselves punished. Amember of the criminal’s clan, ofj equal social rank to the person in-iJured, voluntarily accepted the pun¬ishment.Within each phratry are threeclasses and more than a score o' clans, each with its social rating. The■ cla.s.ses originally were the slaves,the commoners and the nobility, or: “anyetti.” Though slavery is abol¬ished legally, the social distinctionsare maintained, and the “anyetti”perform no labor, and seldom speakdirectly to the members of the form¬er slave group, Oberg found. In eachclan are a number of house-groups,each with its definite social position.The house-group consists of anuncle, as head, his brothers, and thechildren of the sisters. The care andeducation of children, and the in¬heritance of honors and wealth, isbetween uncle and nephew, ratherthan between father and son.The “potlatch,” a ceremonial feastin which the host gives away mostof his wealth, apportioning it ac¬cording to the social status of hiswhich a Tlingit can improve his own.status. The wealth consists of blan¬kets, furs, copper shields, shells andother objects carrying ceremonialsignificance. This is strictly “Indian-giving,” however, since the host, orhis nephews, or their nephews, re¬ceive back the gifts or their equiva¬lent at later potlatches.One Northwest Coast Indian, ac¬cording to Oberg, is reputed to haveworked for twenty years to gathergifts for a grand potlatch, afterwhich he became a pauper, with,however, considerable prestige. Thepotlatch entitles the giver to add in¬signia to his family crest, or hat, orl*>teni, and to ^ing certain cere¬monial songs. Oberg pointed out thatthe Indians of the middle west andeast attained pre.stige by their featsas warriors, while the California In-' dians used “shamanistic” spirit ritesfor the same purpose. The NorthwestCoast group depend on the potlatch,their wars being confined to feuds,largely over women, according* toOberg. Sickness they believe to be. caused by spirits, however, and theyI call upon medicine men for relief.Ceremonial BanquetI The order of seating at cere-I monials is a matter of jealouslyI guarded rights. During his stay atj Klukwan Oberg attended several pot¬latches at which guests departed inanger, with their nephew, because ofthe seats assigned. The host in eachI instance dispatched his nephews to aceremony of apology.His major conclusion is that “thedistribution of wealth is determinedj by social status rather than the pro-I ductivity of the individual.” More! generalized conclusions about theuniversality of economic theories andpractices will be possible whenI studies of other primitive groupsI have been made, he believes.SOCIETY(Continued from page 3)column intended for la.st Friday’spaper I told you all about the Esot¬eric party that was given a weelago Friday, and then I discovered,too late, that there was to be nissue of the Maroon Friday, and siyou didn’t hear after all.
