SlYE, CANCERAUTHORITY, WRITESVOLUME OF POETRYThe University has produced an¬other poet in the person of MaudeSlye, a.s.sociate professor of Path¬ology, a world-famous authority oncancer, and re.search worker in theSprague Memorial Institute.The only copy in Chicago of Dr.Slye’s book of poetry, “Songs andSolaces,” is being displayed in thewindow of the University Book¬store.Dr. Slye feels that poetry is notsimply a means of expressing one’sphilosophic and religious ideas.When interviewed, she announcedthe futility of seeking for any com¬plete philosophy in her works.Dr. Slye pointed out that there isas yet no complete philosophy of sci¬ence. Although acquainted with thematerial of biology, chemistry, andphysics, “We have not yet dovetail¬ed all these bodies into a completephilosophy.” But Dr. Slye has faiththat such philosophy, when develop¬ed, will be such a beautiful and sat¬isfying philosophy that it will befully adequate to the needs of hu¬man beings.In other fields. Dr. Slye feels thatthe scientist should give way to hisimagination if science is to remainalive. W. A. A.

Otherarticles will appear from timeto time dealing wih otherphases of the University ex¬aminer’s work in connectionwith new plan examinations.)Debate Union ElectsStorey as PresidentAt an election of officers heldlast night by the Debate Union inthe Reynolds Club, the followingwere chosen to fill five positions forthe spring quarter: Everett Storey,debate manager; Henry Reese, re¬cording secretary; Claude Hawley,corresponding secretary; LewisDexter, treasurer; and Donald Mor¬ris, publicity manager.Preceding the election, a discus¬sion took place in which the mem¬bers outlined the policies to be pur¬sued by the group during the com¬ing year. By LOUIS THURSTONEThe question of how grades aredetermined is of considerable inter¬est to all students who depend onthe comprehensive examinations toprove their progress in college. Inthis brief article we shall describethe procedure of scoring and grad¬ing the examination papers. 'When the examiner receives thepapers they are first numbered onthe tjtle page. The lower part ofthe title page which contains thestudent’s name is then torn off sothat the only identification whichremains on the paper is its num¬ber. The identification part of thetitle page contains both name andnumber and it is filed in the ex¬aminer’s office until after the finalgrades have been assigned. The pur¬pose of this procedure is to insurethat the papers will be scored onlyby what is written iW the examina¬tion.Guard Against PrejudiceIf this precaution were not takenthe scoring might be affected bythe student’s class attendance andother considerations which the newplan has excluded from the grading.It is not for the examiners to saywhether class attendance is to beconsidered in the grades. It is apolicy which is part of the new planthat a student’s progress andachievement shall be determined byexamination.By scoring is meant the assigningof a specified number of. points toeach question. It is the policy ofthe examiners to select*the readersfrom those who are judged to becompetent by the in.structor» incharge of the course. This appliesto the essay questions. The key fortbp objective part of the evamina- tion is approved by the instructors.When all the papers have beenscored the total number of pointsis I'ecorded on each paper. A dis¬tribution of the total scores is thenmade so that one may know how'many papers obtained each totalscore. The examiner then recom¬mends the total .score to be requir¬ed for each letter grade. These rec¬ommendations are submitted to theinstructors who may inspect theanonymous examination papers.Avoid DiscriminationWhen the instructors and the ex¬aminer have agreed about the gradesto be assigned a report is preparedshowing the number of studentsthat have received each grade butthe papers are still anonymous. Onlyafter this report has been approvedby the chief examiner and by DeanBoucher are the grades assigned tothe names of the students. One ofthe objects of this procedure is toavoid any form of discriminationagainst a student who presents him¬self for an examination without be¬ing well known to the instructors.The purpose of having the dis¬tribution of grades reviewed byDean Boucher is to insure furtherthat any unusual proportion of pass¬ing grades or failing grades may bediscussed before the grades are as¬signed to the students’ names.Sent to Recorder LastWhen the grades have been ap¬proved by the examiners and byDean iBioucher, the grades are as¬signed and sent to the Recorder.It happens sometimes that ad¬vance information is requestedabout some student’s grade. The ex¬aminers are opposed to the discrim¬ination which such a procedurewould involve. However, even if theexaminers wanted to give advanceinformation it is actually not avail¬able since the grades are not set un¬til all of the papers have been scor¬ed and the distribution of gradesapproved by the in.structors, by thechief examiner, and by DeanBoucher. No individual grade isavailable until all of the grades foran examination have been sent totliU registrar T. V, Smith, professor of Phil¬osophy at the University, securedthe Democratic nomination for sen¬ator to the Illinois Legislaturefrom the fifth district by a comfort¬able majority, final poll tabulationsshow.Smith entered the race compara¬tively recently but soon secured thesupport of the entire party. A notedwriter and well-known for his de¬bates with outstanding men in thepolitical field, including Will Durant,Clarence Darrow, and Scott Near¬ing, Smith has always been interest¬ed in theoretical politics.His real reason for entering pol¬itics is that he enjoys “the game.”He declared in a I'ecent speech that“Rough and tumble contacts withmen is more to my ta.ste than soph¬isticated pursuits and attenuatedpreoccupations. If I did not enjoymixing with and participating inpopular activities, I should not gopolitical.”ENROLLMENT FORSPRING QUARTERINCREASES 1.54%Total enrollment figures for thespring quarter, based on paid reg¬istrations at the end of the first weekof the quarter, show’ a gain of1.54 per cent over last spring’s reg¬istration.Five thou.sand eight hundred andfifteen students, 3,232 men and2,583 women, are enrolled thisquarter compared with 5,727 stu¬dents who took courses during thespring quarter of 1933. The 5,815total can be separated into 1,258who are registered at the Univer¬sity College and 4,557 present onthe quadrangles and Rush MedicalCollege.Two thousand nine hundred andeighteen men and 1,639 women com¬prise the 4,557 on the quadranglesand at Rush Medical College, whilethe total enrollment at the Univer¬sity College is divided into 314 menand 944 women. Bids, at $4 a Couple,Co On SaleMondayLawrence Salerno and his danceorchestra have been obtained byCrossed Cannon to play for thetenth annual Military Ball, accordingto an announcement made yestertlayby Barney Kleinschmidt, publicitychairman. The function will be heldApril 27 at 'the South Shore Coun¬try Club, which is the traditionalscene of the annual event. Bids,priced at $4, will go on sale Mon¬day.The selection of Salerno’s or¬chestra was made by a committeeheaded by Tom Wason, commanderof Crossed Cannon. The band hasjust completed a successful appear¬ance in St. Louis. Its initial ap¬pearance in Chicago will be at theMilitary Ball.Popular as SingerLawrence Salerno gained his firstpopularity as a singer and was onthe staff of station WGN for eightyears before assuming the leader¬ship of the orchestra. He has beenon the air every day for the pastfour years and has sung on bothof the major networks. At WGN hehas sung numbers of all types,particularly those typical of Spainand Southern Europe. Before be¬coming a radio singer, he was fea¬tured in operettas.Although under a new organiza¬tion, the band is not unknown toChicagoans. It is the same unit, ab¬solutely unchanged, that was form¬erly directed by Carl Moore. Underhis leadership it was very popularat the Drake Hoel.Follows Usual PracticeIn selecting Salerno’s orchestra.Crossed Cannon has adhered to itsusual practice of sponsoring a com¬paratively unknown band which itbelieves is destined for great popu¬larity. At previous Military BallsGuy Lombardo, Paul Whiteman, TedFiorito, Art Kassels, and TedWeems played before they attainedfame.Salerno not only uses his saxo¬phones in the Lombardo manner,but he phrases his music in a waycomparable to Whiteman. His musicis mellow, rhythmic, and sophistic¬ated. The band will feature Sa¬lerno’s singing and also includes aquartet and a trio.In choosing the . South ShoreCountry CluT) as the scene of theball, the military society has pre¬served one of the many traditionsconnected with the ball. It will alsohold the colorful Rose and Saberceremony, with the ten sponsors, se¬lected on an objective point basisfrom among the women leaders ofthe campus.

Keith |Martin Gardiner Sidney Hyman Georg Mann ,Night Editor: Curtis MelnickThursday, April 12, 1934TRAGEDY OF THEUNIVERSITY STUDENTPresumably we, as a new plan, if not exem¬plary, student, are admirably suited to inveighagainst the tutelary deities of the old plan andindulge in a few mournful and well-chosen reflec¬tions over the plight of the old plan student. But,alas, the tragic role of the old plan student ismore apparent than real. He feels, no doubt,that the administration, brooding as it does overthe dark chaos and empty vastness that is themind of the student under the new regime, is nolonger greatly interested in the problems of hisacademic career and future; he may feel a trifleregretful over the loss of the opportunities thatare offered only to the new plan student; he may jfeel a bit peeved at having missed so much fun; }but the only tragedy is that of being born too jsoon. However, no man with any pretensions tointellectual honesty can see himself as tragic un- !der these circumstances, for, no matter what mes- isianic spirits or atavistic monstrosities we be, we jare none the less products of our own time andno other and, as such, must make the best of it.Thus the old plan student can only resign himself ^to making the most of what may be an unfor- |tunate circumstance. 'On the other hand, we of the new plan are |protagonists in a real tragedy. The powers re¬sponsible for the new plan have made the unpar¬donable error of assuming, as President Hutchins jso neatly puts it, that we are intelligent people. |A truly charitable person might concede that someof us are intelligent when we leave the Universitybut no one could say that of the incoming fresh¬men. Intelligent is one thing that we are not—if we are correct in understanding that intelligenceconstitutes the ability to coordinate experienceand thought in such a fashion as will make ourdaily life and actions tolerable to those withwhom we come in contact as well as to ourselves.For once, there is a definite opinion expressedby the incoming students which will confirm ourpoint. During the first two years of the NewPlan the majority of us didn’t like it; we couldn’torient ourselves to it; we were, in short, incapableof intelligent and independent action in the faceof a new experience—we couldn’t figure it out and,so, expressed our incompetence by dislike of thenew plan in varying degrees of violence. Thisyear the freshmen are, in the majority, all for itand they are for it, unfortunately, for only onereason: the juniors and sophomores can tell thefreshmen in a general way what it’s all about. Butthe original sin of the incompetence of the Classesof ’35 and ’36 is still with us. and will be visitedon all succeeding generations of new plan stu¬dents. We have been taken from a secondaryeducational environment, perfectly unsuited toprepare us to make the most of new plan op¬portunities, and placed in a maze and told to findthe way out. We can’t. We have been foundwanting and at fault. The fault however lies notwith the new plan nor with its execution; the fault THE DAILY MAROON, THURSDAY. APRIL 12, 1934lies within us and what previous education hasmade us.And all we can do about it is call upon whateverforce student opinion concedes to be all-powerfuland beseech it pronounce benedictions on thesponsors of the new plan for their faith which haspassed all undeVstanding, beseech it to comfortthe old plan student for his loss, and beg it tocommiserate with us for our misused gain andhope that it will do better by our successors.—H. H.WAR TOEND WAR?With flags, banners, parades and emotions, stu¬dent associations with anti-war sentiments march¬ed the campus recently. But flags, banners, andparades are war symbols. Mob emotion is aprominent cause of war.We are oppressed by the conviction that anyonewho will parade and wave flags against war willparade and wave flags for war.What anti-war associations accomplish by theirpresent tactics, is to train people in addiction towar symbols. Transference of those symbols toa pro-war attitude is simpler to achieve than theoriginal addiction.The only hope for opposition to war is cold,unemotional rationality. Members of the Univer¬sity Anti-war Association should merely shrugtheir shoulders and say, “If war comes, we, ration¬al people, will not go under any circumstances,because we hav’e demonstrated that war is irra¬tional.”The courage required for that statement in theface of war is so much greater than that of im¬mediate b.ave volunteers that it seems boundless.—J.

Lettersto theEditorEditor of The Daily Maroon,Dear John:I want to express my apprecia¬tion of the generous help and de-I cent treatment the Maroon staffi gave its opposition yesterday.Though I cannot agree with someI of your policies and at time disap¬prove of your journalistic ethics,still I have, as- you know, a greatdeal of respect for your abilitiesand for your work as editor.Sincerely yours,Marie Berger.I We sincerely invite you to rejoin: our editorial board. Perhaps you; can reform us.—ed.Editor, The Daily Maroon,Dear Mr. Barden:I I should be delighted to have you: show me Martin’s support for thestatement you ci?e in yesterday’seditorial, and to show you what,in my own article, is, I think, anI adequate refutation of the samestatement.I On the whole I am delighted thatj your editorial in reply wa.s so mod-j erate in tone, rather than being one! of your usual vitriolic diatribes.Also I am surprised at your adhominem discussion of my relationto the Honors course. I do not seethe relevancy to our controversy,unless you are admitting in despairthat only so well-educated a personcould have met your argumentsThis letter is intended to be morejocular than impertinent! -Auf wieder.sehen,^ Thomas B. Stauffer.I Our reference to your educationunder Mr. Hutchins and Mr. Adlerwas intended to show that theirsinister influence can be as easilya.scribed to the opposition as to the' editor of the Maroon. Indeed, thej Hutchins-.\dler cla.sses seem respon¬sible for all sides of all intellectualI controversy on the campus. Can no; one else inspire intellectual discu.s-j sion on this campus?—ed.II Editor, The Daily Maroon,Dear Sir:, I find that I can’t refrain fromI writing you another letter in orderj to answer your statement that allI those who oppose you agree withj you. I oppose you and I disagreei with you.I Your little statement in the edi-i torial Past History doesn’t as itstands mean much for it can be in¬terpreted in numerous differentways. For example you say that“each man should have an under¬standing of the use of his rational-Jeweiry Accessories for Men 'ity, which i* m knowledge of ideasand the ^abUity to think.” I agrreeon this point but as I have previous¬ly attemptedto say I believe thatideas are not anything abstract orseparate from experience and socialI conditioning; from which follow twopoints (1) we can’t, really under¬stand Plato because we don’t livein the same society that he did (2)much of our understanding of him 'is valueless because he did live in Ia different society from ours. [Put another way, our difference ’I on this point, so far as I can judge ,I from what you have said, is thatyou believe there are permanent ab¬solute ideas like justice, good, and 'beauty, and that these ideas can be jtaught; I deny their continued exist- 1ence as anything except names and 'do not believe that they can as ideas iI be taught. For example: in Poly- :I nesian tribes it is perfectly just !that the people be subordinated to ;the children of the gods, because jeverybody thinks it just, and in |.American society it is patently un- Ijust that coal-miners be subordinat- jed to plutocrats because everybodythinks it unjust. At least a Poly- jnesian school system would have totake this attitude because otherwiseit could not exist; and a progres¬sive .American school system oughtto take the other attitude.And teaching justice as an ab¬straction will not enable a learnerto tell which of these attitudes i.sthe just one in his society.This leads mo also to disagreewith Sweetne.ss and Light in statingthat “the question of what educa¬tion is host suited to all men canhave only one answer.” This is un¬true for a second reason: within agiven society, different learnershave different social conditionin'- ,and different potentialities, so that *the wise teacher will attempt totrain them differently.Yours faithfully.Lrwi» A. Dexter,, You. Mr. Dexter. hav«- not yetanswered our oft-repeated question:Cannot college students be expect¬ed to assimilate a generalization without playing games to achieverealism?

Her subject willlie “liilellectual Co-operation,” alopic of the agendas of the recentPan-American Congress. Economic equality and opportun¬ity for women as the most outstand¬ing development in feminism in Rus¬sia was stressed by Layle Silbert,student speaker at the regularmeeting of the National StudentLeague, yesterday, at 4 in Classics18.Miss Silbert quoted a Russianproverb—“A chicken is not a birdand a woman is not a human being”—as evidence of the inferior posi¬tion occupied by women in pre-re-volutionary Russia. At present allprofessions and industries have beenopened to the invading femininewave. Correlated with the economicimprovement has gone an improve¬ment in social and political status. Have you been there? We’re an¬nouncing the new Bryn Mawr Cof- jfee Shop at the end of Bennett av¬enue on 71st street (1869 East 71.ststreet).

THURSDAY, APRIL 12. 1934Page FourTENNIS TEAM BEATSaMHURST COLLEGE6-0 IN FIRST MEETDespite the wintery weather, theMaroon netmen yesterday openedthe tennis season in impressive fash¬ion by whitewashing Elmhurst Col¬lege, 6-0 in a match played in thefieldhouse. The boys breezedthrough their opponents in straightsets dropping only 8 games in sixmatches.Captain Max Davidson was muchtoo accurate and steady for Gerfin,the Elmhurst No. 1 man who lostto the tune of 6-2, 6-0. Trev Weissat No. 2 position outslammed andoutdrove Ecker, 6-1, 6-2, while EllPatterson made quick work of Eis-en, 6-0, 6-0. Ell lost only sevenpoints in the entire match. Tyroleradded the fourth singles victory ona 6-1, 6-1 decision over Grower.Gerfin and Ecker, the ElmhurstNo. 1 doubles team, were at themercy of Davidson and Weiss, whocarried the match as they pleased,6-0, 6-0. The second doubles matchbetween Eisen and Grower, and Pat¬terson and Tyroler, resulted in thesixth easy victory for the Maroons,6-0, 6-1.NOVAK ‘TAKES IT’’IN EIGHT ERRORARMOUR DEBACLEDespite the 7 to 3 defeat suffer¬ed at the hands of Armour Tech inthe season opener Tuesday, the re¬sults of the contest can be classi¬fied as “encouraging” for the Maroonbaseball team. For one thing, EdNovak demonstrated that he could“take it” under fire and will helpsolve the pitching problem in a bigway. The entire team may be ex¬pected to look 100 per cent betteragainst Lake Forest tomorrow.Although eight errors were com¬mitted behind Novak, skull practicewas held yesterday and a greatmany of the difficulties were ironedout. The infield seems to be func¬tioning well, and when the boys geta little more practice at their re¬spective positions, it will be one ofthe best in the conference.Play Lake ForestAs far as the outfield goes, plen¬ty of material is also available.Dave Levin, of course, will be afixture in center, with the fla.nk posi¬tions undecided among Dick Coch¬ran and Ralph Wehling in left, andFreddy Lauerman and Marv' Berk-son in right. Cochran and Berksonare probably the most powerful of¬fensive combination, but are not asgood ground-coverers as the othertwo men. Red Retner is also avail¬able, if needed.Tomorrow the squad will travelout to Lake Forest where ConnorLaird or Bob Langford will hurlwith Bussy Yedor on deck to stepin if needed. Last year the Ma¬roons won out over the Little Nine¬teen champs in a wild and woolleyaffair, 21 to 15.Saturday Western State Teachers,who have one of the best team inthe country, will invade Greenwoodfield and Langford or Laird will at¬tempt to check them.Today on theQuadranglesThe Daily MaroonNight editor for the next issue:Ralph Nicholson.Music and ReligionCentral High School A CapellaChoir from Tulsa, Oklahoma.
