I The GreeksHave a Word—By HARRY MORRISON— !SIGMA CHIWallie Montpromery, who is cir- iculation manatjer of The Daily Ma-loon, and whoso wishes must there- !fore be taken into account, asked ^me to be sure to say that Sigma Chiserved breakfasts until ten in the ^morning. I feel, along with him, that 'this is a very pertinent point andmight he the counterbalance to bringa great many pledges to the Sigma('hi house, come rushing. Not onlythat, but the only meal not seiwedall week long is the Sunday eveningsupper. Thus you might say thatSigma Chi offers complete campuscoverage.The first chapter of the frat-clubwa.^ founded at Miami university in18H.">. It was the first of 1)4 chaptei’s.The local chapter was establishedhere in 1897, which makes it one ofthe earlier chapters on the Univer¬sity campus, and which, furthermore,doesn’t make any difference. Thereare about three (don’t know positive¬ly) chapters in Canada and the re.stare found pretty well all over theI’nited States. jIactivities IIn my opinion the fraternity 1reached a low ebb la.st year. It has Idone a lot this year to redeem its 'former place in campus affair.s, but |it still is far from doing much in the !way of affecting undergraduate ac- |tivities. There are 18 men in the jchapter, and of these 9 are interest- ied in something besides being schol- <ars. Of these 9, there are 4 men who ,might be considered either big-shotsor at least heading toward something. |They have two men on The Daily 'Maroon, the circulation manager, anda sophomore assistant. The sopho- imore assistant is a good man and ;writes good ads; he looks as if he <might go somewhere. They havethree men on the Cap and Gowm, theadvertising manager and two busi-ne.s.s a.ssistants. They have the hos¬pitaller of Blackfriars and about fiveother men who have taken an activeinterest in Blackfriars, both cast andbusiness, during the time they havebeen in .school. The dramatic editor-hip of the Phoenix, also belongsto Sigma Chi.They seem to have quite a literaryor perhaps philosophical group overthere, with some of them belongingto a .somewhat phantasmagoricalgroup known as the Epicureans, andstill others being the leading lightsof the theater movement known asthe (Chicago Players.That seems to end their activitysheet. And we find that they havea big shot in three activities, thesame man. They have a couple of jother men who may develop andthat is all.As far as athletics are concernedthey have a good basketball player,a pretty fair baseball player, andtwo men who like awfully well to [play tennis. Sometimes they feel |they ought to play more tennis. jJUST A FEW IDEASThe fellows I talked to over therefelt that the best thing, to them,about their own fraternity was athing that could not be told in anarticle. This, they said, was the feel- jmg of solidarity about their fratem- jity, the feeling that they were weld- ;ed into a unit. This idea, I might !f^ay, is felt by all but the most abjecthouses. It’s the thing to look forin a fraternity Once you’re in andget a little bit of Hell Week, you’llfeel it and you’ll think your own fra¬ternity can’t be beat by anything,.^nd it means all this stew about ac¬tivities resolves itself into nothing.That’s just a little good old fash¬ioned raving that does the heartgood.ET PECUNIAIncluding everything, towels andsoap, etc., the monthly .stipend neces¬sary to live at the house is $48 onthe average. For men living outsidethe house, the cost is $20.50 on anaverage; this includes five luncheonsand the Monday night dinner, alldues and social fees. Pledges are notsubject to dues, so that they pay$3.50 less on either of the monthlybills. The initiation fee is $60 andthis (by now traditionally, and withtears in our eyes) includes every¬thing. i itlaroonUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, WEDNESDAY.

Hutchins LaudsCooperation ofGeorgian SchoolsSea Island, Ga., Jan. 23.—“TheGeorgia university system is an out¬standing example of the effort ofAmerican colleges toward a coopera¬tive prograrr..” President RobertMaynard Hutchins declared today ata meeting of leading educators ofthe country. He will return to theUniversity Thursday.President Hutchins stated thatuniversities and colleges everywhereare recognizing the wa.ste of num¬erous small colleges remaining iso¬lated. A cooperative plan for col¬leges will develop greater and moreimportant education centers, he said.President Hutchins came herefrom Atlanta after conferring witha committee on merging Emory Uni¬versity, Georgia Tech, and AgnesScott College. He held that this planwould enable the colleges to offer asuperior education.Among the prominent educatorspresent at the conference, wereGeorge A. Works, dean of .studentsat the University, President L. D.Coffman of the University of Minn-sota, E. E. Day, of the RockefellerIn.stitute, and E. T. Embree of theRosenwald Foundation and presi¬dent of the .Atlanta colleges.These men have been instrumentalin setting up the Georgia Universitysystem, which was started in 1931.Last year Dean Works and severalChicago educators completed a sur¬vey of the Georgia system that re¬sulted in the formation of a centralboard with direct control of thewhole system.SKULL ANDTrESGENTMAKES ARRANGEMENTFOR REFRESHMENTSThe Freshman Women’s councilwill serve refreshments at the Skulland (’’rescent dance to be held Fri¬day in the Cloister club according toan announcement made yesterday byJack Allen, chairman in charge of ar¬rangements.

Aware of the times, under¬graduate members of fraternities onmore than 100 other campuses of theUnited States and Canada have car¬ried out economics in social expenses,room rent and board. The drasticeconomies in many instances savedthe groups from almost certain finan¬cial disaster.Reduction in the costs of socialfunctions was perhaps the outstand¬ing economy effected on the majorityof campuses. Reduced frequency ofdances, dinners and smokers; the se¬curing of less expensive orchestras; radio dances and victrola dances; re¬duction in decorative co.sts fordances and reduction in the outlayfor favors and refreshments, wereimportant in affecting the necessaryeconomies.Some 358 of the chapters polledhave made substantial reductions ininitiation fees during the past threeyears, while 309 reduced chapterhouse dues. Room rent and boardbills were also drastically cut. Taxreductions resulted in lower expensesfor some chapters. Retrenchmentswere also affected by cutting downon newspaper and magazine subscrip¬tions, eliminating and reducing chap¬ter publications, and abolishing orcutting down on fraternity scholar¬ships resulted in large savings atmany chapters.Economies in operating expenses■were made by cutting the salaries ofkitchen employees, and by usingchapter members in many capacities.Wholesale and cooperative buyingand reduction in food waste weresuccessful in cutting costs at otherchapters.

Finally we found one; “Teachers mustbe rational human beings in order to be produc¬tive of rational human beings.”Perhaps the writer of the letter is some poormanual training teacher, thrown out of work byMessieurs Kelly and gang, who had one good ideabut so much time on his hands that he could notrefrain from throwing in a little vituperation justto liven things up.Then, knowing that most of his letter was ab¬surd, he signed “College Professor" and talkedabout the University because all kinds of crazyideas come from there.Unbelievable is the rumor that any member ofour faculty could have written that letter. In^Yct we have demonstrated such a thing cannotbe.—j. P. B. Editor, The Daily Maroon,Sir:Your retort to Mr. Dexter’s intel¬ligible and intelligent letter in to¬day’s Maroon is so outrageously un¬fair that I feel that I must protestagainst it.Your assertion that Mr. Dexteruses fifteen terms “rather muddily”is only an assertion. As an assertion,it has no validity unless it is support¬ed by evidence, and, as usual, youoffer no proof for your a.ssertions.As a matter of fact, I doubt verymuch if you could find proof of thisparticular assertion in Mr, Dexter'sperfectly lucid and comprehensibleletter.Very sincerely yours,Fred B. Millett.After fifteen minutes of conversa¬tion before the letter was placed inthe make-up of The Daily Maroon,Mr. Dexter admitted to us that hehad misused the terms: education,fact, theory, and idea. At that rateof admission Mr. Dexter might haveagreed with us about the rest of theterms in another three-quarters ofan hour.But we decided to postpone the de¬bate until this afternoon at 3:30 inCobb 308 where the Social ScienceParliament meets.Won’t you come too, Mr, Millett?Your assertiones about all our asser¬tions gives promise of very interest¬ing conversation.—ed. of the people’’; or to any other,chauvinistic blah whatsoever.

He would have recognizedthat it is a matter of great doubt that man doesan3'thing by instinct.Again we quote Mr. “College (“Crank”) Pro¬fessor”: “Take President Hutchins' recent dis¬covery, for instance, which struck The Daily Newsas being important enough for an editorial in theissue of Jan. 16:‘Facts in any field wear out rapidly Butideas. . . .are relatively permanent. Perhaps theend of education, the highest aim, is to producerational human beings’."No member of the University faculty could as¬sert that President Hutchins ever claimed his re¬marks questioning the logic of scientists and thelogic of education are either recent or his dis¬coveries.The President said at the recent faculty-trusteedinner; “These ideas are not original with me. Ifthey were they might be discredited merely bypointing out that fact.”Recency of Mr. Hutchins’ opposition to anti-intcllectualism is denied when we recall addressesat Convocations of 1929, 1931, and 1932, JRecency of intellectualism itself may be deniedby reading Plato, Descartes, Locke, Bertrand Rus¬sell.

The whole set consists merely offour rings of shantung in simply luscious shades. You loopthe large rings together and wear them as a scarf, and thetwo smaller rings can be ingeniously arranged in countlessways on your head. An inspiration for tennis, don’t youthink so?Ir the above photographs, Sara Gwin demonstrates — inthree easy steps—just how it’s done. In the center picture shewears the scarf loosely draped and shows the headband in itsoriginal state. In the top view, Sara wears the scarf tied in asaucy bow and the headband in an interesting off-the-facemanner. The third photograph shows the headband con¬verted into a modified turban and the scarf draped in theever-popular ascot. But these are only suggestions. Wethink inventing new ways to wear the set would be an amus¬ing sport for these long winter evenings.Incidentally, the scarf and headband set is found in TheCruise Shop, Sixth Floor, and the price is $4.95.MARSHALL FIELD & COMPANYPage Four THE DAILY MAROON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 24, 1934(g) 1934.
