/ 9Vol. 34. No. 48The GreeksHave a Word—By HARRY MORRISON—PHI KAPPA PSIToday is the day of the hip: blow-ofT. If anyone ever reads this col¬umn, it will be read today. One ofthe best fraternities on campus isbeing written up by one of the bestwriters on campus. The funny thingto me is that all these guys wantsomething awful said about theirown fraternities. Carr said, “Be sureto say enough bad things about us.”Barden has said the same thing. Andstrangely enough it isn’t hard at all.To get through the hooey. PhiKappa Psi was founded at JeffersonCollege (now Washington and Jefferson) in the year of 18.52 (thesame year that Honest Abe Lincolnfirst thought of log-splitting as acampaign asset.) Its establishmenton this campus took place in 1894.It is a strong national fraternitywith 52 strong chapters, but it is notas powerful in the East as it is inthe Middle and Far West. And, in¬cidentally, this is not all hooey.activitiesThe biggest single weak point inPhi Psi is their lack of athleticstrength. They are very weak inathletics. Out of an active group ofsome 30 men there are two goodtrack men, a “C” man in football,and a golfer who was one of the twogolfers on the squad of four play¬ers last year. The golfer is captainof the squad this year, but so fewpeople treat golf with any serious¬ness that this is not of much import¬ance. The boys do get themselvesworked up to a pitch once in a whilein Intramural athletics, and as a re-1suit, they are now first in organiza¬tion points among the “leading fra¬ternities,”As far as campus activities areconcerned, we are met with an en¬tirely different situation. The fra¬ternity is pre-eminently successful intaking its part in University affairs.Of the 30 actives in the localchapter there are 19 men engagingin 6 activities; some of these menare working in more than one activ¬ity. There are 4 sophomores and2 juniors on the Maroon; the Phoe¬nix provides work for 2 seniors, 1junior and 3 sophomores;and one of the seniors is the edltor--in-chief. A Phi Psi is general man¬ager in general charge of everythingaround the Intramural departmentand one of the junior managers is a |member of that noble fraternity. Theweakness here is that they have nosophomores working and evidently nochances of carrying on in the depart¬ment.There are four men active in theDramatic Association, but none ofthem are apparently headed for thepresidency but seem, rather, to bejust wrapped up in their work. Oneof these aesthetic guys is also amember of the Settlement Board, butthat is a minor activity (in the eyesof a lot of people).Analyzing the personnel of the ac¬tivity men by classes, we find thatthere are 3 seniors, 3 juniors, and13 sophomores seriously engaged inUniversity affairs. This means thatthe activity potentialities of the fra¬ternity are still good. To sum every¬thing up, the fraternity is bad inathletics and good in campus activ¬ities.AND THE DOUGHI once heard a man say that thePhi Psis were a bunch of rich, snootyguys and that they even had twophones in their house, which seemedto clinch the argument. They havetwo phones in their house. The housewas financed in 1923 with a firstmortgage of $85,000 and a secondmortgage of $50,000. The secondmortgage has been paid off and thereis still $46,000 of the first mortgageto be paid. Most of the money hascome from a portion of the $350 amonth rent the fraternity pays tothe Alumni Association, which ownsthe house.The average monthly bill for aman living outride the house, andincluding all expenses is about$24.50, and for men living inside thehouse the bill comes to about $67.50.The initiation fee, ihcluding every¬thing (this with a long sight), is $75.And now, all you wolves, you maydo your worst. I am a member ofPhi Kappa Psi and I think that thisis a verv fair and very swell write¬up. (0. k. B.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 9. 1934 Price Three CentsBENTLEY, CASSIDYAND LIHLE JUDGEU FRIA^ GODKSMake Final Selection ofWinning Librettoon February 1Judges who will pick the winningbook submitted to Blackfriars wereannounced yesterday by James Hen¬ning, Abbott of the Order of theBlackfriars. Gerald E. Bentley, MissClaudia Cassidy, and Richard H. Lit¬tle will judge the manuscripts.Mr. Bentley is an assistant profe.s-sor of English at the University, andthe only campus personality in thegroup. Miss Cassidy is the dramaticcritic for the Chicago Journal ofCommerce, and Mr. Little, betterknown under his pen name of “R.H. L.”, is a columnist for the ChicagoTribune.Fourteen LibrettosIt is expected that the judges willhave finished reading the books byP'ebruary 1, and will announce thewinning book in The Daily Maroonat that time. A total of fourteenlibrettos have been submitted, exact¬ly the same number as in 1933“We believe we have been partic¬ularly wise in our selection ofjudges,” Henning .said. “Mr. Bentleyknows the Friars situation thorough¬ly from the inside, while Miss Cas¬sidy, one of the be.st dramatic criticsin the city, and a follower of Black-friar shows for several years, is wellacquainted with it from the outside.Mr. Little brings a balance to thegroup, for he knows comparativelylittle about the organization, but isa keen and astute dramatic observ¬er.”Profeasional ProducerThere is a possibility that the pro¬fessional producer who is hired topresent the musical comedy will bea fourth judge, but this is growingmore remote, as it is doubtful wheth¬er the producer w’ill be chosen with¬in the next two weeks. In any event,when he finally is selected he will actin an advisory capacity on the books.Active plans on the show are wellunder way, with all of the juniormanagers engaged in definite workat the present time. This is threeweeks ahead of la.st year’s scheduleas the Board of Superiors hopes tobe able to put on a’more polishedproduction with the additional timeafforded. The Strolling Friars gleeclub has been rehearsing for months,and is ready to begin its commercialengagements.The Strolling Friars is a malechorus composed of members of theorganization and is available forpersonal appearances and commer¬cial engagements. S. P. BreckinridgeViews Problemsof Pan-AmericaVocation ChoiceIs Determined byIndividual TypeThe importance of the individualin the selection of a vocation wasemphasized by Robert C. Woellner,director of the Board of VocationalGuidance and Placement, yesterdayin the first of a series of radio talksto be given over WJJD on alternateMonday mornings for the next 12weeks. These talks are not intendedprimarily for University students butare directed at the perplexed highschool graduate who for some reasoncannot attend college.The lecturer yesterday was in theform of a dialogue between Mr,Woellner, playing the role of voca¬tional counsellor, and John C. Ken-nan, who took the part of a youngman seeking advice on the selectionof a vocation.“Phrenology and character analy¬sis have little to offer in the matterof vocational selection,” Mr. Woell¬ner advised in the course of the dia¬logue, “The problem of vocational se¬lection is an individual one and mustbe solved by the individual with suchhelp as the vocational guidance de¬partment can give in clarifying yourthinking and placing at your disposaloccupational information.”Mr. Woellner pointed out the exist¬ence of the various standardized testswhich can profitably be of assistancein the selection of a vocation in life.“If, in making a choice of vocation,you cot\?,\4er only the financial re-turip, you are not doing good think-iivif,” he added. wmSophonisba P. BreckinridgeAn eight day airplane trip fromBuenos Aires to Miami climaxed theleave of absence that Sophonisba P.Breckinridge, Samuel Deutsch pro¬fessor of Public Welfare Administra¬tion, took in order to attend the Pan-American Conference in Montevideofrom December 3 to 26. She return¬ed to her classes today.Miss Breckinridge attended theconference in the delegation of Sec¬retary of State Cordell Hull, whichincluded six members from the Unit¬ed States. She was one of threewomen present; the other womenwere representatives from Uruguayand Paraguay. Miss Breckinridge isthe first woman from the UnitedStates to attend the sessions, sinceit was agreed ten years ago to invitewomen to the conference.Promotes CooperationThe Pan-American, composed ofdelegations from every state in theAmericas not under some foreigngovernmental control, is held everyfive years to discuss and plan for bet¬ter understanding and cooperationbetween the .states. At this seventhas.sembly twenty states were repre¬sented.The questions and interests whichthis conference considered were; themeans of assuring a firmer peace re¬lationship, increasing and developingforeign trade, and establishingstronger educational cooperation.Miss Breckinridge was concernedchiefly with co-operation on behalfof child welfare in the South Ameri¬can states, a system of better li¬braries, and promotion for therights of women. In many of thestates women have not as yet secur¬ed suffrage.In Montevideo, which is 150 milesfrom Buenos Aires, Miss Breckin¬ridge noticed that there was no prob¬lem of unemployment, although thepeople as a whole were poorer.

STUDENT SOGIALGOMMinEE PIGRS4 PROMJ.EADERSSmithwick, Moore, Carr,Cullen Named forGrand MarchPRICE REGULATION ISSOLUTION FOR MILKSTRIKE-HUTGHINSON“I think that the farm strike is awholesome thing in that it has calledthe attention of the consuming pub¬lic to the fact of an impossible mar¬keting situation and will force author¬ities to take action with underlyingcauses such as the spread of pricesbetween consumers and producers andthe high cost of distribution due toduplication of facilities and over¬lapping organizations,” declared CarlR. Hutchinspn, Research Associate ofthe Chicago Theological Seminarywho has been studying milk strikesfor the last eight years.The effects of the milk strike havebeen felt on the campus in that menin the dormitories have been limitedto one glass of milk, and tea is beingserved at rushing parties.This strike, Mr. Hutchinson be¬lieves, has been developing for sev¬eral months as the result of the ef¬forts of large companies to maintainSi certain margin of profit. There isalso the problem of cut-rate priceswhich is the result of some companiesnot paying fair wages.The solution to this problem maybe found in the regulation of pricesfor both the consumer and the farm¬er. Government regulation is a planwell worth considering as all otherplans are subject to abuse. The De¬partment of Agriculture is trying tostabilize the industry by arrange¬ments for controlling production andthe processing tax.Finish Casting of 80-inch ReflectingMirror for McDonald ObservatoryINCREASE FUNDFOR RESEARCH INFIELD OF BIOLOGYThe Rockefeller Foundation hasincreased its grant to the Universityfor research in the biological sciencesfor the years of 1934 and 1935. Theappropriation was increased from$30,000 to $50,000 a year.The foundation will now supportthe investigations of Dr. Frank R.Lillie and Dr. Fred C. Koch on thebiology of sex and sex hormones.This study, which was formerly main¬tained by the National ResearchCouncil, will now be established ona more permanent basis.The money from the appr >jiriationis administered by a commictee com¬posed of Dr. William H, Taliaferro,Dr. Anton J. Carlson, Dr. Frank R.Lillie, and Dr. Ezra J. Kraus. Thecommittee will draw up a budget forthe fund after Dr. Talaferro’s returnfrom a leave of absence. He is nowtouring in the South and will returnfor the spring quarter. Successful casting of the great 80-inch mirror for the reflecting tele¬scope of the McDonald Observatoryhas been accomplished. Dr. OttoStruve, director of the Yerkes Ob¬servatory of the University, an¬nounced yesterday. The telescopewill be installed in the new observa¬tory which the University of Texasis building on Mt. Locke in the DavisMountains of Texas. Under a coop¬erative agreement, the University isto staff the McDonald Observatory,with Dr. Struve as its director.The glass was poured at a temper¬ature of about 1300 degrees, andthen was quickly cooled to about 500degrees. It is now in an annealingoven, the temperature of which willbe gradually reduced over a periodof three months so that the coolingwill not cause internal strains in theglass.As soon as this process is complet¬ed, preparations will be made fordrilling a hole in rhe center of theglass, the most delicate operation inits preparation because of the dangerof splitting the huge disc. The outeredge will first be cut off, bringingthe diameter to 80 inches. Polarizedlight will be used to test the glass,and if there is an unsymmetrical pat¬tern, the disc will have to be discard-Freshmen Meet TodayReynolds ClubinThere will be a meeting of repre¬sentatives of all freshmen men’s clubstoday at 12:30 in room D of the Rey¬nolds Club.

The dance was held atthe Congress Hotel, with Hal Kemp’sorchestra providing the music.The following announcement wasissued to the fraternities yesterdayby Donald Kerr, chairman of theStudent Social Committee, which isin charge of the affair: “I would liketo have all University fraternitiesconsider the idea of not giving anyhouse dances during the month ofFebruary and having all members at¬tend the Washington Prom as a sub¬stitute for such dances. This planwas tried by several houses last yearand found to be quite successful.”The following places are beingtaken into consideration as possiblelocations for the Prom: the SouthShore Country Club, the MedinahAthletic Club, the Lake Shore Athlet¬ic Club, and the Congress and Drakehotels.Ruml Resigns toTake Position asMacy TreasurerBeardsley Ruml, dean of the divi¬sion of Social Sciences, will leavethe University on March 1 to becometreasurer of the R.

But your definitiontells us nothing. Perhaps we had better say that,ideally, a university is a community <^f scholars.Exercon: And what, Socrates, are scholars? .Socrates: Scholars might be said to investi¬gate facts in a given field and relate them to theideas and principles that are responsible for theexistence of that field.Exercon: From my small experience, Socrates,I would say that you are defining an ideal scholarand an ideal university.Socrates: Precisely. Yet we might say thatmost universities have some scholars.Exercon: Our University, of course, has morescholars than most universities.Socrates: Now, you too, are entering therealm of the ideal.Exercon: I think you are right. But Socrates,1 have often wondered about the difference be¬tween a university and a college. Does your defin¬ition of a university also cover a college?Socrates: We might say that if a university in¬vestigates facts and relates them by ideas, a col¬lege should be a place where a student may dis¬cover ideas concerning all sciences, arts, and liter¬ature.No individual can know all the facts about allthe arts, sciences, and literature, yet they mightbe able to comprehend their guiding principles be¬fore they begin minute factual investigation in auniversity.Exercon: But you must have some facts tounderstand ideas.Socrates: 1 think you are right. Therefore 1would suggest that in the college ideas should re¬ceive emphasis by reading the books of scholarswho conceived them. A minimum of facts mightbe presented as curiosities for discussion in re¬lation to the ideas.Exercon: 1 gather, then, that you believe acollege should supply a general education?Socrates: Yes. But many people believe thata general education consists of exposition of thelatest results of modern research. Even if youcould learn all these results, you would have much ‘meaningless material. Some researches have de¬generated into mere hobbies that have advancedthe bulk of knowledge without adding to its herit¬age.Exercon: But perhaps some scholar will takethose facts some day and convert them into evi¬dence for a plausible theory, as Darwin did forthe biological sciences and Kepler with the data Lettersto theEditorof Tycho Brahe. - jSocrates: Quite rightly But what have such un- |related data to do with 'anyone’s general educa- ition before the occasional genius has given themmeaning?Exercon: None at all, 1 must admit.

A series of lec- ithe new plan, as I see it, is to per¬mit students to advance at any rateof which they are capable. Studentswho are ambitious and have the ca¬pacity are to be allowed to go onahead as fast as they can. Yet wemembers of the class of 1935 havenot been allowed that privilege, buthave been restricted to the "aver¬age” speed of advancement simplybecause the program which we areto follow is not laid out until theyear that the "average” studentAnd how, Socrates, would you de- . .Let me cite one simple example 1to illustrate my point. During mysophomore year I found myself sev- 'eral jumps ahead of the normal cur¬riculum and decided to take some ad- Ivanced courses. Deciding that a icourse in accounting couldn’t be of Iany harm, I enrolled in Business 210,having no inkling of what divisional ,courses were to be required of me. jLo and behold, 1 discover upon en- jtering law school that Law 210, an-iother course in elementary account-ing, is required of all pre-profession- j' al students. Similarly, I discover a '' flock of divisional 201 courses from ;, which I must choose, same having ,j just been organized, jOn the other hand, I di.scover stu- idents of the class of 1936 participat- !I ing in some of my courses merely i; because they happened to have en-!j tered a year later than I did and I[ found a three-year program all laid ;j out for them.! May I respectfully take this meansj to suggest that the men who plan theI indispensible courses do so farI enough in advance so that studentsj may truly be afforded the opportun-leads?Socrates: Certainly not. The nature of discus¬sion includes argument and disagreement. If stu¬dents did not disagree with the instructor occa¬sionally they could be accused of being un-educable.We would expect the instructor to be correctmost of the time, because we assume that hereads more thoroughly than his students.Exercon:fine a student?Socrates: There are pupils and students. Pu¬pils may be considered those who will never be¬come educated under any system no matter howlong the exposure. Students might be describedas persons who have betrayed a desire to learnhow to think.And now, my dear Exercon, we have defineda university, a college, an instructor, and a stu¬dent. Our discussion has had an excellent begin¬ning.—J. P.

H.Perhaps you have not lost as muchas you think.

Stagg, Jr., coach of the team. I.>astyear, the Maroons were co-holders ofthe Western conference championshipwith Minnesota. The better membersof the team of last season are back,including three major “C” men: MaxDavidson, Trevor Weiss, and EllmorePatterson.

Even after the meet SaturdayCoach Vorres is undecided aboutstarting men in several weights.Max Bernstein, 118-pounder lastyear, will most likely wrestle at 126with Tom Barton at 118 pounds.Norm Howard seems to have the pre¬ference at 135 pounds with Craig andGorman still contenders for thatberth. Ed Kracke, a flashy grapplerlooks like the 145-pounder.Captain Marvin Bargeman willwrestle either at 155 or 165 pounds.Giles, a sophomore is a possibility at155-pounds, although Wald has beenshowing some form in the recentworkouts. Ed Bedrava can wrestleat 165, 175, or heavyweight.
