The Directorof .Admissions of Columbia Univer¬sity has warned educational institu¬tions against relaxing unit and graderequirements for entrance. Suchrelaxation, says .Mr. Jones, will de¬base the B. A. degree. Those whohave received the B. A. degree atColumbia may wonder how this canbe done.Boston, Mast. A representativeof the faculty of Notre Dame Uni¬versity, speaking here, attacked Co¬lumbia University because thecourses offered there did not corre¬spond to the ideals of the Presidentas set forth in his annual reports.This was a bulls eye and one longoverdue. The trouble is that it mayinvite Dr. Butler to inquire wheth¬er courses are offered at NotreDame.Hamilton, N. Y. The Presidentof Colgate University has announc¬ed a gift from the Carnegie Corpo¬ration, .stating that the money hadcome to Colgate because- it was theonly institution in the United Statesthat had four general courses inthe Humanities, and the Biological,Physical, and Social Sciences.

A Northwest¬ern medical .student has announcedthat the assets of the University ofChicago are only $34,000,000 in¬stead of $110,000,000, because $76,-000,000 came from the Rockefellerinterests.

MIRROR SELECTS‘STEP AHEAD’ FOR1934 PmCTIONPrize Poster ContestCloses Tomorrowat Midnight. “Step Ahead” will be the name ofI the Mirror production of 1934, toj be presented in Mandel hall March- 2 and 3, according to a bulletin! issued yesterday by the Mirrorj Executive Board. Selection of aI suitable name has been under dis¬cussion for some time.“We believe that ‘Step Ahead’characterizes our .show exceptionallywell,” Geraldine Smithwick, presi¬dent of the organization stated yes¬terday for The Daily Maroon. “By• stepping ahead, we mean that weare looking' forward to the future.! It is with this theme in mind thatwe are planning and working onthe production.^’Definite TitlerIt was originaly thought that noname" would be given the show, asit is generally spoken of simply asMirror. 'It was deemed advisable,however, by the executive board, to] give the musical revue a definite; title that would have some meaningI closely bound up with the generaltheme of production.^ The poster contest, which is beingI judged by Mrs. Edith Foster Flint.I Edmund Giesbert and Frank Hur-I hurt O’Hara, will close at midnighttomorrow. Artists who are workingj on posters are urged to take theI name of the show into considera¬tion, and to try, if their work is not' too near completion at the present! time, to develop the title in their• work.

Overstreet, prominent Ameri¬can philo.sopher, will speak on the“Psychological Equipment for Mod¬ern Life.” Dr. Overstreet has beenin Chicago since Monday, and isnow the guest of InternationalHouse, where he is staying at theinvitation of Bruce W. Dickson, thedirector of International House.After the lecture, which will begiven in the Home room at 8, Dr.(iverstreet will remain to greetpersonally those who wish to meethim. but because of the limited ac¬comodations only 140 can be ad¬mitted. Since Dr. Overstreet isspeaking as the guest of Interna¬tional House only residents will beadmitted; if seating space then re¬mains any visitors will be welcomed.Admission is free.The eminent philosopher, with hiswife, will remain at InternationalHou.se for a week, as he is engagedfor a lecture sponsored by the Wil¬liam Vaughn Moody foundation Fri¬day evening, at 8:15 in Mandel hall.Mr. Overstreet graduated fromthe l^niversity of California wherehe received an A. B. degree in1899, and was elected to Phi BetaKappa.Among the books that he has writ¬ten are: “About Ourselves,” “TheEnduring Que.st,” and “InfluencingHuman Behavior,” in which he ex¬plains the fundamental applicationsof modern psychology, and philos¬ophy. His latest book, “We Movein New Directions,” came out lastfall.Social Justice Is Unchanged SinceOld Testament Prophets—WallaceThe essential problem of .socialjustice has changed scarcely at allsince the time of Amos and otherOld Testament jirophets, Henry A.Wallace, .secretary of Agriculture,told his audience last night at Man-del hall.Delivering the first of his three lec¬tures under the Alden-Tuthill Foun¬dation, which is sponsored jointly bythe Chicago Theological Seminaryand the Divinity School, SecretaryWallace said that “the stage is beingset for a social battle astonishinglysimilar to that which was raged inJudah and Israel from the time ofSolomon until Judah went into captiv¬ity.” The general title of the lec¬tures is “Great Adventures of theSpirit,” and last night’s address con¬cerned the spiritual adventures ofAmos, Micah, Isaiah, and Jeramiah.Secretary Wallace briefly tracedthe conflict of ideas between theIsraelites and the Canaanites, theformer being farmers and shepherdsand the latter a commercial people,and pointed out how this conflict pro¬duced “lion-hearted prophets whofirst of all historic men on this earthdenounced the way in which a com¬mercial civilization so often enablesthe rich to get richer at the expenseof the poor.”The Secretary showed his audiencehow the ancient prophets, whom mostpeople visualize as grandfathers withlong white beards, were as vigorousand colorful as Senator Norris, andnlsn hnw. at the time of their pro¬ nouncements, they made themselvesas unpopular as the Senator in theCoolidge administration.“The typical farmer on mortgagedland today sees things in almost thesame way as Amos,” said SecretaryWallace. “He knows the balanceshave been falsified by powerful self¬ish interests and that a terrible dayof reckoning is coming to those whohave profited at his expense.”TICKETS FOR FRANKIEMASTERS’ TEA DANCEGO ON SALE TODAYTickets for the St. Valentine daytea-dance with Frankie Masters andhis orchestra, given by the Univer¬sity Band, February 14 in Ida Noyeshall, go on sale this morning and maybe secured from members of the Uni¬versity Band, the Bookstore, IdaNoyes, and the Reynolds club.

In linewith political action, it was decidedto further the provision for a con¬stitutional convention to be votedupon in November, and to secure ajob analysis of the various positionsto be voted upon in coming prim¬aries. A motion from the floor tonominate and back specific candi¬dates for election to office, receiv¬ed favorable reception.Three projects dealing with pub¬lic finance were also added: keep¬ing of assessment of property outof politics; requiring immediate, in¬dependent audit reports from thefinancial officers of local govern¬ments and performance reportsfrom the chief executive officersof local government; and sponsor¬ing a plan for prompt adoption of arevenue amendment to the existing Icon.stituion.A plan for furthering the prin¬ciple of consolidation and coordina¬tion of the public services is anotherof the planks of thq program. STUDENTS SEEKPRICE REDUCTIONIN COMI^IS FOODInvestigation Reveals300% Profit toUniversityDuring the past two weeks foodprices and possibilities of loweringthem in the Hutchinson Commonshave been investigated by a com¬mittee representing the men’s resi¬dence halls of the Univensity. Thepurpose of the committee, accord¬ing to E. Jackson Baur of Snell,chairman, is to bring about lowerprices if pos.sible in the Commonsdining hall in order that studentswill be able to purchase good foodwithout endangering their pocket-books. Recent investigations have.shown that, at the present time,profits as high as 300 per cen» arebeing realized op..

The petition was sent toFlorence Pope, director of the Com¬mons, together with a letter callingattention to current prices on itemsincluding butter, pastry goods,meats, salads, and vegetables.Self SustainingIn upholding the Commons pricesMiss Pope stated, “The Commonsexists for the sole purpose of serv¬ing students and other members ofthe University and is not operatedfor profit. At the same time theCommons must be self sustaining as,obviously, other University fundsfor educational purposes should notbe directed to its activity. Thegreatest care and effort is expendedto see that good food is made avail¬able to the patrons at the lowestpossible prices.”A mass meeting of ResidenceHall members was called January25 for the purpose of selecting acommittee to meet with Miss Popeand William Mather, Bur.sar, Janu¬ary 26. The committee was com¬posed of E.

He added, how’-ever, that no other institution hasutilized all of these features nor hasutilized any of them on the samelevel as the University. The com¬bination of these aspects of educa¬tion in the plan, he stated, has beensuccessful.Mr. Hutchins contended that themechanics, organization, and financein an educational institution are butmeans to an end. It is in the con¬tent organization of the courses thateducation must look for advance¬ment. Here the President statedthat the objectives of education areintellectual and not preparatory forlife. He later added in answer to aquestion, that the most practicaleducation is the most theoreticalone. The changes which the newplan has undergone in its shortperiod of development have beenonly mechanical and have not beencaused by any changed conceptionof the objectives of education.President Hutchins was the thirdperson whom the Humanities grouphas had the privilege of meeting thisvear.

Keith merger is being promoted to keep the Universityof Chicago with $1 10,000,000 listed assets afloatfinancially with Northwestern’s $50,000,000 listedassets.Psychologist Crane, on the basis of such reason¬ing, might also say that a tired swimmer shouldthrow a life-preserver to the life guard, who is try¬ing to help out.Psychologist Crane showed his professionalcievereness by identifying Hutchins-Scott aspira¬tions with Insull methods, and by leaving enoughbetween the lines to intrigue stupid people, butsurely not the Northwestern or Chicago alumni!Unfortunately, one, cannot read between thelines in mathematics. But let us also test Mr.Crane’s logic.‘The assets of the University of Chicago, ”states Psychologist Crane, “are listed at $110,-000,000 of which the Rockefellers have donatedmore than $76,000,000. In short, save for thegenerosity of the Rockefellers, Chicago has onlyabout $34,000,000 in contrast with Northwest¬ern’s $50,000,000,”In other words, admits Psychologist Crsne, theUniversity of Chicago has one hundred and tenmillions, but we must not count seventy-six mil¬lion of it because the Rockefellers gave it. There¬fore Chicago is merely a poor waif trying to- ab¬scond with Northwestern’s fifty million.We predict that Psychologist Crane's book willraise a laugh that will not cease until long sfyerthe merger has been accomplished.—J.

Lettersto theEditorThe Travelling BazaaBT CHARLES (“Sonblerns”) TYROLERNight Editor: Charles HoerrThursday, February 1. 1934ACADEMIC FREEDOM jSTIFLEDWhen it comes to taking what he knows andputting it into practice, Dr. George Crane, of thedepartment of Psychology at Northwestern Uni¬versity, is no fool. Dr. Crane knows and prac- ,tices psychology.With true journalistic penchant for causing 'trouble, Psychologist Crane has compiled a mas- Iterpicce of propaganda entitled , Shall North¬western Become a Part of the University of Chi¬cago?”But after the aesthetic experience ot such writ¬ing, gross materialism blotted out the aesthete inMr. Crane, and requested Northwestern Universityto allow him a view of 38,000 officially listedalumni to impose his views upon. Mr. Cranemust have at least as much hope for his propagan¬da as do Communists of theirs.But the official lists were refused.Furious, Psychologist Crane attempted to getsome advertising space in the NorthwesternAlumni News.Again, he was refused.Now, we believe Psychologist Crane has beenabused; Northwestern should stop picking on him.He is being denied academic freedom and rightof adequate expression of his views; his press isnot free. Wait till Colonel McCormick hearsabout this.If Psychologist Crane were on this campus, hewould be allowed, in spite of his psychology, toexpress his opinions to anyone he chose. Hecould even send out incensed brochures, thoughsmoothed over with a lot of oil, to our alumniwith the University’s blessing. Alumni wouldnote the University’s stamp of approval and thenwould be sure to pay no attention to it.But the cause will not die. Let us gaze uponthe pathetic case of Psychologist Crane. He mustregularly meet several classes of Northwestern stu¬dents a day and, in spare moments, seek names of38,000 alumni by devious dodges from sub rosasources.All this Mr. Crane apparently does for a Cause.We must ascribe a Cause to Mr. Crane, since itis too easy to point out that he might fear for thepermanence of his position, should the two insti¬tutions merge. Furthermore, after his psychicbrain-child, Mr. Crane’s position will indeedachieve the uncomfortable distinction of beingmost impe’-manent, if Northwestern and Chicagodo become one.Therefore we will assume that Mr. Crane hasp Cause for which he will loyally and tenaciouslyfight, until some wealthy institution (a verywealthy institution, of course, to take him fromplutocratic Northwestern) will buy him to fight forthem for a while. Besides, as we have said, Mr.Crane as a psychologSt is perfect. Only in logicand fundamental mathematics does PsychologistCrane fall down.Surely with this assertion of Mr. Crane’s; The our OF THE MAIL BOXMr. Tyroler:Thank you for the introductory taffy to myverse, which embarrassed me very much.

I grant that. .small intensive discussions woulifI probably surpass our new plan in ef-! fectiveness towards obtaining edu¬cation but I think that the new planand' your-’ plan are both wrong intwo important fashions. They pre¬scribe a certain stint to be learnt..\nd the nearest approach to activ¬ity is discussion of, or, reaction to,the readings, i. c. vicarious experi¬ence.I believe that each student hasdifferent learning-needs in accord¬ance with his imfividaal abilities andinterests and that a general pre¬scription is unwise.I further believe in what I maycall the' project method of achievingan education. Rottssean in EmiU'advocated this when he asked thatthe teacher simply set the stage forthe student and let the student dothe re.st.I can best explain this point byillustration. To teach political the¬ory you wuld' have men read thegreat political' theoriMs. I wouldalso want them to do this but Iwould not begin' there.Ideally I would hare them at¬tempt to form a student governmentjfor their own student communityland learn there some of the diffi¬culties there are in running a gov¬ernment and some off the advan¬tages.The next process it seems to mewould be to try ter have them formsome sort of organization in closecontact with local' governments, orlocal problems. (As I understand Bennington College is starting thiswith its Community Council). It'they were of any intelligence andintere.st at all, they would inevitablywant to read all the cla.ssical workson different phases of local govern¬ments, because these works woulddeal with problems that were vividand important to them.And from here an able teacherwould have little difficulty iff arous¬ing interest and response towardsthe more theoretical political writers.And .students would understand thesewriters better than if 'they had be¬gun with them.“V'es,” you will say, “but this teimpracticable.” As yet, yes, often.But experimental institutions likeBennington and Black Mountain areworking the processes orrt.And here at Chicago we can trymuch of the project method. Herein the Social Science Parliament weconduct ourselves as a British Par¬liament, discuss problems as thoughwe belonged to that institution, andbecause most of us have some imag¬ination. we get a considerable feel¬ing of reality out of it. Hence we canunderstand problems better than wewould by merely reading politicalthwrista.I am not denying the validity ofreading political theories as part ofan education, please understand,but I am merely saying that suchrexding should be where possiblepreceded (and followed) by action,l^ithfully yours,Lawit A.

FEBRUARY 1, 1934 ' Page ThreeTOUGH LUCK HAUNTS Swimmers OpenBUCKEYES, MAROONSIN BIG 10 CAGE RACEWith semester exams keeping allbut two conference schools out ofBig Ten competition this week end,new developments in the title chasewill be limited. Ohio State, play¬ing Minnesota Saturday, has beenin the spotlight recently because ofthe tough luck Coach H. G. Olsenhas had in putting a strong com¬bination on the floor. It will beeven harder for the Buckeyes to as¬semble a winning five now thatMax Padlow, alternate regular for-word, has withdrawn from school..K pre-season favorite, Ohio Statelost in rather rapid succession. Cap¬tain Hosket, through ineligibility,Ted Rosequist on account of abroken wrist. Low and Theis be¬cause they did not think that theywere playing enough, and now flnrally Padlow, because of financialdifficulties. Padlow is the same fel¬low who turned in his uniform dur¬ing the halves of the Indiana foot¬ball game and later returned to hisposition at end.Haarlow's ToeThe crippled Maroons are bidingtheir time until Bill Haarlow, sUrleft forward, recovers from a dislo¬cated toe. Indications are that theinjured digit will be in shape to per¬mit the team’s leading scorer to playin the Northwestern game at Pattengjnn February 10.In addition to being a fine basket¬ball player, Haarlow welded theteam into a single fighting unit andhis absence will be felt strongly.Coach Norgren expects to use Tom-1my Flinn and Bob Pyle at the for¬ward positions in Haarlow’s ab¬sence. Oppenheim and Lang will 'play guard. Season SaturdayAgainst BadgersWisconsin comes here Saturday toopen the Maioons’ conference swim¬ming and water polo season in Bart¬lett natatorium at 8. In a pre-seasonencounter the Maroons eked out a 43to 41 victory over a team from Loyolauniversity while the Badgers havefallen the easy victims of the North-w'estern aggregation w’hich last yearended the season in second place.Although the entries in the variousevents have not been determined yet,all the swimmers that saw actionagainst Loyola will engage in themeet. Free-stylers will be Phil Stein,I,«nnie Levi, John Barden, and A1Sachs, with Captain Dan Glomset andChuck Dwyer in the breast stroke.Backstroke artists Don Bellstrom andGeorge Nicoll will engage Cardinalstars in a tough 150-yard battle,while John Roberts will score pointsfor the Maroon tankmen in the fancydiving.A water polo aggregation whichhas shown some fine teamwork intwo games with the I. A. C., formerNational A. A. U. champs, will prob¬ably find easy going against the Bad¬gers. PANTHERS AND CHISELERSTRIUMPH IN I-M CAGE TILTSPonies, “37” Club, and PsiUpsilon SecondsAlso Win PoUists Engage COIGAGG WRESTLERSGeorge Owen and Barry Wood Jr.are the only two Harvard athleteswho have earned nine major sportsletters. In an evening characterized byrough and tumble playing thei’ewere few' games last night thatcould be classified as entertainingfrom a spectator’s ponit of view.In spite of the fact that the intra¬mural basketball tournament isnearing the midway point, the teamsshowed a pitiful lack of teamworkand practice, and the contests re¬sembled football games more thanbasketball games.Probably the most exciting gamewas that between the U. Hi. Panth¬ers and the team representing theband. At the half the Panthers wereleading by a score of 15 to 6, andseemed to be by far the superiorteam. However towards the end ofthe game the band began rallying,and the Panthers just managed toeke out a 25 to 23 win. Howard ledthe winners with 8 points, and Whit-tenberger the lo.sers with 12.The evening’s prize for high scor¬ing went to the Chiselers, who com¬pletely swamped the Palateers in arun-away game by the footballscore of 66 to 14. At midgame theChiselers were winning 26 to 14,but immediately after the secondhalf they went on a scoring splurge,"nd *he Palateers fai’ed to score an additional tally. C. Hicok led thevictors with 21 points.Composed entirely of FreshmannnnKrai winners in football, the“37” Club showed that they couldaiso play basketball as they trounc¬ed the Gophers in a rather roughgame, 19 to 5. LeFevre led the win¬ners with 11 points, while Panterand Preston did all of the scoringfor the Gophers.In a rather fast and closelyfought game, the Burette and Bal¬ance aggreation defeated the Ma¬roons by a score of 22 to 14, asHetzner scored 16 points for thevictors. In a game featured by verylittle scoring, the Ponies reversedthe situation and operated on theMedics to the tune of 16 to 9.“700” Lo«e*^ Fighting bitterly, the “700” Dor¬mitory organization was overcomeby the Bachelors 20 to 7^ in a roughand tumble game which gave ref¬eree Mar.sh Fish plenty of exercise.Gray led the winners with 7 points,while McKay managed to lead thevanquished with 4 points. A ratherclose game was that between the PhiPsi seconds and the Phi Sigs, whichthe latter won 21 t* 13 by virtueof Grondahl’s 6 buckets and 2 freethrows. The Psi U seconds were fariiuperior to the Delta U seconds asthey trimmed them 36 to 7. ^i. Two of the remaining games, the jT S.-Snaitans and the “800”- Iowa in Big TenOpener SaturdayAmid the blares of the Universityband, which will grace the occasionwith its presence, the Maroon poloteam will open its Big Ten seasonat the Chicago Riding club, 333East Erie street, against the triofrom Iowa Saturday at 8:15. A sec¬ond game will feature either theBlack Horse Troop or the ChicagoRiding club. Complimentary tick¬ets are available at the Military of¬fice, Ryerson 38.After experimenting with variouscombinations, Lt. A. L. Price, polocoach, has decided to start TommyWason at No. 1, Ray Ickes at 2, andCapt. Bruce Benson at 3, keepingBob Hepple and Manager HaroldHuffsteter in reserve. In all like¬lihood, Hepple will see plenty of ac¬tion before the game ends.TONIGHT’S I-M GAMES7:30Phi Kappa Sigma vs. Psi Upsilon IIDelta Upsilon vs. Delta Kappa Ep¬silon II8:15Kappa Nu vs. Lambda Chi Alpha“200” contests were postponed. Inthe remaining game the Deke sec¬onds forfeited to the S.A.E. sec¬onds. MEET IOWA FRIOAYON BARTLETT MATAnother close contest betweenChicago and Iowa is in prospect format fans who attend the meet at 8Friday in Bartlett. The Hawks wonby two points in 1932, by only onelast year, and should be a slight fav¬orite this year as practically the en¬tire group of first-string men isleft from last season.The O’Leary brothers, John andFrank, both state champs, are thestars of the squad and wrestle inthe 175 pound and heavyweightclasses respectively. They should pro¬vide serious opposition for the Ma¬roon entries in these divisions. Fac¬tor and Pesek.Squad in ShapeCoach S. K. Vorres’ men are inalmost perfect shape but for onegrappler, Ray Ickes, who suffered abroken nose in a recent polo game.Nevertheless there is a good chancethat he will compete in the 155pound class. In the event that hedoes not compete, Capt. Bai^manwill take his place and ?iteet John¬son, one of the better Iowa mat-men.Four boxing matches wU immedi¬ately follow the wrestling meet.THIRTY REGISTER INREYNOLDS CUE MEETTwo Reynolds club tournamentswere well under way this week when ,the annual pocket billiards meetstarted Monday, and the first bracketin the ping pong tournament wascompleted Tuesday.Of the thirty men who registered |in the pocket billiard tournament, tenhad advanced to the second bracketby yesterday.

H. Spencer of the School ofBusiness said last night in a broad¬cast over WGN on “The Trade As¬sociation and Co-operative Research,“and at present many large busi¬nesses are doing conspicuously suc¬cessful research.”“But as the problems of modernindustry have become more complex,as the relationships between busi¬nesses become more intricate, andas the relationships between govern¬ment and business have becomemore delicate, the existing modes ofgathering and interpreting businessdata have become increasingly in¬adequate and the need for coopera¬tive action has grown more evident.“Small and even moderately-sizedbusinesses cannot as a matter offinancing afford to establish and ad¬minister an effective research de¬partment or bureau. Large busi¬nesses, which would not be embar¬rassed by financial considerations,find that it is more economical toparticipate in cooperative research.Cooperation of Trades“.\gain—and this is equally im¬portant—the individual business can¬not without the cooperation of al¬lied businesses, get all of the neces¬sary data and information on ■whichgeneralizations can safely be made.The type of research which thetrade association can most effective¬ly conduct must to a Targe extentbe based upon the records, the ex¬periences, the successes and failuresof the individual business within theindustry.“.•\n individual business will not,generally speaking, be willing toturn over to another business therecord of its experience unless thelatter is willing to do as much forthe former. The trade associa¬tion is the logical, convenient, andeconomical agency through -whichthis interchange of knowledge andexperience can take place.“For these and other reasons thetrade association has come to be theprincipal clearing house in the na¬tion for basic business data. Thetrade association now’ is potentially,if not actually, the most powerfulresearch organization in America.Practically, there are few limits towhat the trade association can do inthe field of cooperative research.Limits of Projects“Although the trade associationengages in extensive research forthe benefit of its members, it doesnot follow that it can or should doail the research which the individ¬ual member may require. General¬ly speaking, it limits its resourcesto those research projects in whichall members have a common inter¬est and from which all can derivea common benefit.“The extent to which members usethe results of research in manage¬ment of their individual businessesis a question not easy to answer.Many, of course, utilize these re¬sults lully; others do not take thetrouble to apply them to their prob¬lems. Some businesses look uponresearch as a luxury; others thinkof it merely as a badge of businessrespectability. From the point ofview of the individual business, re¬search can be justified only in so faras it assists the business in the solu¬tion of its problems and the shapingof its policies.”SEEK REDUCTION OFCOMMONS PRICES(Continued from page 1)placed on all items for sale in orderthat students may be oble to checktheir meal as they select it.
