Theprogram of the Institute, the sec¬ond of an annual series sponsoredjointly by the Divinity School of the'University and the Chicago Theo¬logical Seminary, was announcedyesterday by Professor C. T. Hol¬man.Mental hygiene, Bible study inthe light of modern scholarship,preaching, pastoral work and re¬ligious education will be discussedin a series of short courses. The lec¬turers will be Dr. C. C.

The story willappear in The Daily Maroon thisweek if space permits, and will ap¬pear in the Chicago Daily News atsome later date.The selection of this winningshort story culminates a short storycontest which The Daily Maroon hasmaniaged in conjunction with theChicago Daily News, suggested byJohn Lally, fiction editor of theDaily News. Lally selects and printseach day an “evening story” of notmore than 900 words as a regularfeature of his fiction department.“Stories of such short length,”said Lally, “require, if well done,a greater amount of skill than al¬most any other type of fiction.”Every week one of the best eve¬ning stories are dramatized andbroadcast over station WMAQ. “We are trying to develop stu¬dents who regard education as anenduring quest for meanings ratherthan credit accumulation; who de¬sire to investigate, to follow theleadings of a subject, and to ex¬plore new fields of thought and whoare experienced in fulfilling obliga¬tions W'hich come with membershipin the school or college commun¬ity.”This is the creed of the Pro'gres-si^e Education Association!, w^ichhas recently formulated a plan toallow a group of secondary schoolsfreedom to experiment with exten¬sive revisions in their curricula. Thehigh schools, twenty-six in all, will,during a five-year period beginningin 1936, be allowed to present can¬didates for admission to more than200 colleges and universities on thebasis of their interests, activitiesand achievements, without regardfor course and unit requirements. Scott ApprovesInsurance Planof Senior ClassDean William E. Scott yesterdayexpressed his opinion in favor ofthe new insurance gift plan adopt¬ed by the senior class this year, inplace of the former system of don¬ating a certain lump sum as a pres¬ent to the University. Already alarge proportion of the graduatingclass has subscribed or sii^nified itsintent to s/ibscribe for the insur¬ance policies.In commending the new Seniorclass plan. Dean Scott stated, “Theinsurance option according seniorsin making a contribution to theAlumni Gift fund is an attractiveone. The graduate can, by selectingthis method, simultaneously ac¬knowledge his debt to the Univer¬sity in a relatively painless way andestablish for himself all the bene¬fits of insurance. The cost is com¬paratively small, and yet in the ag¬gregate a gift of considerable sizeis made to the University. I urgemembers of the Senior class to se¬lect this option”Those seniors who wish to sub¬scribe for an insurance policyshould see Norman Root or LeeLoventhal in the Graduate club¬house any time during the day.

New Discovery of Extraordinary Bookworm; The Genus WilderThe Thornton Wilder is a re¬cently discovered specimen of thebookworm (Agananthius liberen-dens) occasionally found on cam¬puses. It was first observed inMadison, Wisconsin, 36 years ago.It absorbed nourishment readingfrom left to right in China, Cali¬fornia, Oberlin, Ohio, Yale,'Pi'inceton, and the AmericanAcademy in Rome. In about 1921it began giving reminiscences ofthis prolonged repast and con¬tinues doing so to this day, manand boy. In 1927 it carried thedisburdenment to an acuter formand began to issue books for thesustenance of its kind. At pres¬ ent six such nutriments have ap¬peared and in the light of its al¬most fatal diligence many moreare threatened.This specimen is distinguishedfrom its fellows by its nervous¬ness, its fondness for travel, andits absent-mindedness. Tt is easi¬ly attracted by music and hasbeen known to inch along manymiles, in order to hear agreeablesounds. It is of a genial temperand can only put into a rageby being mistaken for other mem-, bers of the animal kingdom, suchas the lion, the mule, or the pea¬cock. It can be distinguished fromthe lion by the fact that the Thornton Wildpr enjoys its cap¬tivity. It is distinguished fromthe mule by the fact that itsmulishness is intentionally assum¬ed for protective coloring. It canbe easily distinguished from thepeacock because it cannot be at¬tracted to a meal of flashlightpowder.The Thornton Wilder has alarge acquaintance in allbranches of the animal Kingdom,and can be occasionally seen en¬joying itself in the most unex¬pected cages; but on the wholeits habitat remains the stacks of] Harper Library.I (Written by Thornton Wilder) Fifty-one students all of whomhave maintained exceptional schol¬astic records for three or moreyears, have been elected to PhiBeta Kappa, national honoraryscholastic fraternity, it was an¬nounced yesterday.

This is wise and necessary, butsuch problems have not occurred frequentlyenough to justify the bi-monthly meetings of thatbody. Moreover, there is a definite function whichthis board can serve: It must consciously directits efforts toward "selling” those activities to un¬dergraduate women on campus. The Board re¬cently gained a new concept of the function of ex¬tra-curricular activity: not a freshman, join ac¬tivities and receive benefits slogan, but fresh¬man, activities need you and your abilities so asto be revitalized.” This appeal must not be drop¬ped after Freshman Week. It must be carried intothe actual working organization of every women’sextra-curricular group.The Federation of University Women has madethe greatest advance of any group in the yearsbetween 1929 and 1933, but its orientation pro¬gram, as its officers well realize, still lacks year-round contact. Each leader of the group hassought some way to execute the year-round con¬tact between freshman and counsellor, but it hasnot been possible. Thus, we cannot but feel thatblame lies on the individual counsellor rather thanupon the leaders, and we see as the only solutionthe incorporation into the department of Physi¬cal E^lucation a counsellors’ course which shouldbe prerequisite to appointment by Federation. Sucha course could well be presented in “survey tech¬nique,” with authoritative speakers from the dif¬ferent academic and social interest-groups whichconcern Freshman women, with opportunity forfree discussion of problems. It is the only meth¬od by which any counsellor will be or can be ade¬quately trained for the important role she playsin the life of her freshmen.The Y, W. C. A. has as its responsibility theorientation of transfer students. We have seentoo much unhappiness and maladjustment indormitories and elsewhere on campus amongthese students to believe orientation has been ade¬quately solved. The most deficient phase of any ! transfer student’s life on this campus is social innature—the lack of opportunity to even form con¬tacts of secondary or primary nature with men andwomen fellow-students is a deplorable condition,and needs the most concentrated effort that Y. W.can make next year.It is hoped that the Women’s Athletic Associa¬tion will change more from its function as a groupfor those already interested in sports to a func¬tioning unit cooperating directly with the depart¬ment of Physical Education so as to provide thenecessary education to the need for planned leis¬ure-time recreation, for which individual studentsinevitably feel a need. The organization can, cer¬tainly, employ the results of recent skill measure¬ments directed by Miss Dudley in providing thisrecreation on a level equal to student capacities forthose skills.The Interclub Council has already recognizedthe necessity of reformulating its purposes, andis now considering how clubs can best be a meansto the personal development of members in fieldsadditional to that of social contact. The value ofthis step cannot be over-emphasized. Only whenclub members can find common interests in pro¬jects mutually enjoyable, instead of the exclusiveparticipation in social affairs, can these clubs andtheir council have a reason for survival. Suchmust be the club of the future.Of Mirror, we can only say briefly that the or¬ganization will achieve success of a far more cred¬itable nature when it begins the next imperativestep in its development: the definite training of itscommittee ad executive groups for specific phasesof the work involved.We tender these remarks for consideration bythe respective women’s activities concerned, inhope that a new, more effective regime will existwhen we leave after June convocation M.D.C.j The Travelling Bazaar|1 By Jerry- Jontry |> %MiiiiiiuiiiiwiM.iiuiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiNiiiiiiiKinniiiHinim«tiuiiiMiRiiuiuMnauuuiuiiiiiiiiuuiiiiiiiiniiiniiniitunMHiWNtiiiiitA SMART LITTLE BOYat the Fair went by yesterday letting out abig belch that rechoed across the lagoon I look¬ed down at him in disgust, wondering now hecould have acquired such a collegiate nnisn soyoung in life.

The questions werefirst read aloud and discussion pro¬ceeded from that point.The most commonly raised prob¬lem was ‘^Ihe necessary and verydifficult adjustment from a rathernarrow, localized, and essentiallyindividualistic type of existence tothe free-for-all of living in society.The most obvious phase of that ad¬justment right now is, of course,the problem of unemployment andthe fight which the college graduatemust make against the only too pos¬sible enervating effect of unemploy¬ment upon himself.”"It will be a problem of applyingwhatever skill, poise, or initiativeone may have developed through theclassroom and extra-curricular ac¬tivity to the new milieu,” one mem¬ber said.Fear of the “mental relapse like¬ly to ensue when there is no string¬ent demand on the faculties—theslipping through the fingers of theresult of sixteen years of study” wasacutely felt by aJl present.By July, they thought it wouldHILL’S CAFETERIAn«5-75 Eut esrd Si.We Feature Noonday Luncheon25c -Evening Dinner 50cSunday Dinner 75cServed on 2nd Floor be possible to discuss these problemswith greater wisdom, for by thattime a month’s effort to adjust to anew world would bring them face-to-face with the situation.Some had been hunting employ¬ment, hoping to be teachers, orworkers in a publishing house, orconductors of kindergarten schools.Some felt their vocational interestsstill undefined, and have beforethem the selection of such an inter¬est. But none had so far met withsuccess—no contracts, no hiring hadyet occurred for any member. Andso they have been advised by voca¬tional counsellors and others to re¬turn to the University and study forhigher degrees so as to be betterprepared when the employment ratedoes increase. Yet, they added, “howcan one do that when he cannot af¬ford further study at the Univer¬sity?”“Last year,” one contributed,“two people out of the kindergarten¬primary department obtained jobs.”Another, “almost everybody I knowfrom last year’s graduating classhas received clerking jobs in big de¬partment stores. That certainly isnot what they wanted to do!”A member retorted, “that bringsup the question of the feeling in re¬gard to the value of a college edu¬cation. Is it an asset as far as busi¬ness is concerned?”"There are two attitudes: one, acollege education is considered ab¬solutely worthless as far as beinga business asset is concerned, and,two, it is considered not a liability,but a minimum development inqualification for business,” anotherreplied.“The most important thing abouta college education is that eventhough you are not employed, youcan go on and build yourself. It pre¬vents stagnation. It is a backgroundand not a means to an end.” Onceit has been secured, therefore, thesewomen felt the imperative need tocontinue by seIf-6ducation.The discussion took on a theoret- jical and abstract character. They |began to visualize the time when a ■five-hour day might come, and leis¬ure time be provided for education¬ally and sanely. They rejected theidea of a sudden rise of leadershipfrom the masses, feeling, rather, thatthis leadership must come fromtrained people who will “producethe next Napoleon.” Contrary toMary Woolley’s convocation addressthis March, they could not feeL re¬ligion a solution to the presenthodge-podge.“We throw the whole problemback to religion because that ends the problem without solving it.”“To be of any value, religion hasto be a unifying force common toall people.” “A common belief andspirit of brotherhood would be ex¬cellent, but the ideal is too difficultto carry out.”“We cannot hope to get that idealreligious condition. You cannot bealtruistic nowadays; you have towork to Jive.”Even the social ideal of the com¬mon good has lost favor among us,for, as one leader said vehemently,“Now you’ve got to fight for your¬self, you can’t think of other peo-p'l€. At one time I would have donecharity work; now everyone has tohelp himself.”In other words, these women feelthe need of satisfying immediateneeds and ends. The crusade forhumanity in the name of societymust wait until those immediateneeds are supplied!Someone aptly summarized bysaying, “now the whole situation isturned upside down; now we fightjust for our own gain—which is per¬fectly preposterous. We must becareful not to lose our idealism, apossibility sure to result if we arenot careful.” W.A.A.

Woman Faculty Member MastersBoth Statistics and DomesticityMrs. Thurstone ReachesCoal in Family dnciProfessionBy MAXINE CREVISTONThelma Gwinn Thurstone is nocold, impassive scientist, she doesnot sit morning after morningthinking only of the row on row ofstatistical correlations on the pagebefore her, she is not cloistered ina cell-like room devoting herself toscience as some aesthete to his art. . . at least not after office hours.Mrs. Thurstone spends half herday on the American Council of Ed¬ucation tests to which every enter¬ing Freshman at this and other Uni¬versities has been submitted thesemany years. It is she who deter¬mines what intelligence the fresh¬man has—^how many of us feel likeimbeciles after that ordeal—and itis she who revises those tests eachyear to make them more adequateand reliable. But the rest of herday is devoted to the home environ¬ment she and Professor Thurstonehave made down on Kimbark av¬enue for their three small children.This does not imply the trite,propagandistic picture of some pro¬fessional woman “playing” at keep¬ ing house. Rather is it a portrait ofa woman who has managed to hap¬pily achieve that rare balance be¬tween career and private life as acitizen.To achieve such a balance is noeasy matter, as Mrs. Thurstone cantell you. The surrender of leisuretime is the penalty in attaining thatbalance. She h^s little time to playbridge. Hobbies have small place onher rigid schedule. But she “wouldnot want to be just a ‘hausfrau’ ”any more than she desires to be ex¬clusively a professional in the fieldof psycholpgy.During her few spare momentsthese days Mrs. Thurstone is en¬gaged in an experimental study soas to determine presence of radical¬ism among groups of students at theUniversity. “The study will be com¬pleted by the end of the summer,”she stated, then deftly turned theconversation to other matters.In considering the status of wom¬en, Mrs. Thurstone is not a sufra-gette crusader. She does not censorany employer who prefers men towomen workers, because women, shefeels, do not plan careers, the waymen do, by looking ahead years inadvance to the work they hope to(Continued on page 4)FOR THEGRADUATEHere you will And hundreds of useful and novel giftsthat will be prized and appreciated, and at prices withinyour limits.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 7, 1933SHOSTROM CAPTURESPREP SINGLES NETTITLE FOR 3RD TIME The Daily MaroonJohnny Shostrom, Parker highphenomenon, won the singles cham-ionship of the Interscholastic tennistourney for the third successive timeby overwhelming Joe Ross of OakPark, 6-1, 6-0, yesterday on the var¬sity courts. Shostrom, together withhis younger brother, Charles, alsotook the doubles title for the secondtime, when the pair defeated JohnArmour and Alfred Finley, also ofOak Park, 6-4, 6-1. The twin tri¬umphs afforded Parker high's secondteam clean sweep, although Oak Parkmanaged to place two doubles teamsin the semi-finals and two singles par¬ticipants in the quarter-finals.Shostrom’s power game, which wasnever headed, proved too much for |his inexperienced opponent, although iRoss exhibited a fine forehand andan effective backhand which was notutilized to best advantage. The prepstar showed a steady and intelligentstyle of play which the Oak Parkerwas unable to cope with. Johnny’sserves bouncing high to his foe’sbackhand mainly caused Ross’s down-fjill, since the later’s offerings wereeasy to return, although Shostromtime and again placed short-returnshots which found Ross out of posi¬tion.The two brothers were given ascare in the doubles match when Ar¬mour and Finley, after trailing 3-1in the first set, won the next threegames, but they managed to capturethe set, 6-4, as Johnny put on pres¬sure in the last game on his ownserve. The two suburbanites’ ner¬vousness throughout the match caus¬ed them to play poorly together, al¬though left-handed Finley demon¬strated some excellent fore-handdrives and American twist serveswhich aced his opponents on severaloccasions. As usual, Charles’ steadyplaying and Johnny’s flashy perfor¬mance proved the deciding factors inthe victory.THE FINALISSUE OFTHEDAILY MAROONWILL APPEARFRIDAY,JUNE Night editor for the next issue:William B.
