UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, THURSDAY, MAY 10, 1934 Price Three Centssweetnessand lightbycharlea tyroler and harry kaWenblack ray of hopeA frknd of our’s has a remark¬ably intelligent negro butler, who isincidentally and paradoxicallyenough also a college graduate. Heis a charming middle-aged fellowand we have had several interestingtalks with him. We were talkingabtmt American educational methodsthe other day. Our black friendknitted his brow and a light shonein his face. “Y’know,” he said, “Ithink that I’ve discovered the troublewith the American educational sys¬tem.” We urged him on, for here atlast was a possible answer to a prob¬lem that has puzzled even greaterminds than ours for many years. Hismouth opened slowly and the secretwas out. “It stresses the memoriza¬tion of facts rather than the at¬tainment of lucidity of thought.” Aglint of recognition appeared in ourmind. We had heard our negrofriend’s idea expressed in some col¬lege new.<!paper. But we were thank¬ful that a native of Haiti had beengracious as to reassure us that wewere on the right track. Even Bar¬den, surrounded on all sides by dog¬matic pragmatists, may derive a rayof hope, however slender, from thesewords of wisdom from the mouthof a black.WITH HAT IN HANDThe Order of Bl»ckfriafr.< cele¬brates its thirtieth anniversary to¬morrow night with the initial per¬formance of ‘‘Merger for Millions.”This worthy organization has surviv¬ed the chaos and change that hasbeen the cause of the downfall ofother campus activities. It has stoodfor certain aims and ideals and hastieen able to continue them unchang¬ed throughout the course of almosta third of a century. Some progres-.sives would claim this absence ofchange indicates a decadent tendencythat rightly belongs in the past. But,sentimentalists as we are, we do likeour traditions; and when an ordersuch a.« Blackfriars, by its continuedstressing of good fellowship and goodtraining, manages to survive numer¬ous thrusts at its extinction, we feelinclined to doff our well-worn fe¬dora. We welcome an organizationthat remains to remind us that otherscame before us, doing even as we.There ha.s been too much change insome things and too little in others.That that is our belief you must havegathered even oy occasional refer¬ence to our columns. But we alsorise to remind our readers that cus¬toms that have stood the test of timeare usually well worth our interestand intention. This is not a public¬ity stunt on the part of Blackfriars.We will not receive complimentarytickets for this item. We write itl>erhaps out of the goodness of ourhearts, but nevertheless spontaneous¬ly, sincerely, and without solicitation.MANY THINGS LEFT UNDONEIn this, the season when the hotsun winks at us lazily while othershurry about making themselves bigshots, we pause in our most philos¬ophical mood to contemplate things><tiil left undone. Those soul-stirringcampaigns we were to have wagedfor this and that, those books wewere to have read, those people wewere to have met and known—allthese and many others in varyingforms of incompleteness stare at us.They have been neglected. A tend¬ency to consider these unfulfilled de¬sires pervades us and we are aptto sit quietly and moon over them,•still further neglecting them. Butthis must not be, we thunder in ourmost impressive tone of voice. Letthe past be! We fully realize thatby the inevitable advance of time,we are prevented from recallingthose hours squandered in inaction.But, by the mere fact of this realiza¬tion on our part, do not presumethat we have resigned ourselves toinsignificance and permanent inac¬tivity. We have our ideas, be theyever so infrequent and ever so slight.Our future columns will bewritten for the most part purpose¬fully. Perh.tps, with the short gaspallotted us in our few future appear¬ances in print, we can correct cer¬tain deficiencies that, in connectionwith this noble University of ours,we have become cognizant of in ourodd and idle moments. And if wecannot hope to correct them, we canat least hope to instill some selectfew with the realization that thereis need for correction.

We doff the bonnet to you,Ginny. Was it all that suffering forMirror or just being a very swell galthat made you what you are today?But to get back to the Phoenix,we do feel that a bit of cutting andsome cold-blooded rejection wouldhave been good for the general healthof many of the articles and stories.The layout this month is not badat all, and we like the use of photo¬graphs very much.ECONOMISTS HOLDTHREE DAY SESSIONRegistrations for the three-dayInternational Economic conferencewhich will be held in the MorrisonHotel May 12, 13, 14, may be madein the office of the University cha¬pel. The registration for the entiresession is 50 cents, or 10 cents ameeting.Faculty members sponsoring theprogram include Professor PaulDouglas, Dean Charles Gilkey, Pro¬fessor Robert Morss Lovett, RabbiLouis L. Mann, Mary E. McDowell,and Professor Henry N. Wieman. Ezzer K. Jensen’s masterpiece isone of the most amazing concoctionsthese old eyes have ever seen. Amaz¬ing—no less! Btit you read it—ez-zerkjensen has suddenly become toomuch for us.Palgrov’s “1934” is a melange ofthis and that, but if you do readthrough it, we think you’ll like it.The comprehensives blurb by HymanJaco'bson is a series of juvenilia thatwould make good enough reading ina very dull moment—but don’t cuta class to read it.The best article in the May Phoe¬nix, we think, is Harold Blo^ck’s“Block Runs the U.” It’s a series ofcompletely mad suggestions forchanges around these parts, some ofwhich would make life too perfect.Block has a nice sense of humor.Maybe that’s what the Universityneeds most of all.We can usually count on the twoDoctors and good old Gertie to comethrough with the goods, and they doit nobly in the May Phoenix. Be¬tween the’two columns the dirt isdished pretty thoroughly, but no hardfeelings.As for general makeup, we thinkthe jokes and cartoons this monthare quite o. k., and we reserve a spe¬cial orchid for the page of snapshotsfrom the recent Phoenix contest. Theamateur photographers who contrib¬uted to the contest have a real flairfor the ingenious and the unusual. NAME FRED LAWAS CHAIRMAN OFALUMNIJEUNIONBegin Arrangements forAnnual GatheringJune 6-12Fred Law, ’25, was named yester¬day as chairman for the annual alum¬ni reunion, to be held on campusfrom Wednesday, June 6, until Tues¬day, June 12.Among the important gatheringsplanned for the delegates is a din¬ner on Friday evening, June 8, towhich the out of town alumni at theconference have been invited by PhiBeta Kappa.

Thetalk will be of interest in connectionwith the Aristotelian controversy.The hour for the traditional Uni¬versity sing will be changed to 8:30ton Saturday, June 9, because ofthe combined influences of daylightsaving time and the fact that timecannot be procured on the radiochain earlier. Before the event,which celebrates the twenty-thirdyear of its founding by S. EdwinEarle, who will act as master of cere¬monies this year, the UniversityBand will play a prelude.Watson, Smith in ChargeA dinner for the University Aides,both past and present, is also on theprogram.

Inranking only behind Dartmouth andthe Univiersity of Capfomia, thfemagazine gained the honor on thebasis of its format, layout, and con¬tent.This announcement was made yes¬terday by Charlton T. Beck, secre-retary of the Chicago Alumni coun¬cil and editor of the magazine, whoreturned this week from a tour ofthe Southern states. During his ab¬sence, since March 22, he attainedhis objective of meeting alumnigroups in sections where no represen¬tative from the University had spok¬en for some time.Three reels of “Life on the Quad¬rangles” and several of the physicalscience films, including “Electro¬statics,” “Molecular Transforma¬tion,” “Sound Waves,” and “Oxida¬tion and Reduction,” were exhibitedby Mr. Beck to high school seniorsas well as to the alumni groups. Thesefilms, produced under the supervi¬sion of Harvey Lemon and HermanSchlesinger have been used to sup¬plement lectures in the physical sci¬ences survey course.UNIVERSITY ACCEPTS382 NEW FRESHMENThe office of admissions yesterdayannounced that 382 high school grad¬uates have been tentatively acceptedto date as prospective freshmen whowill enter the University this fall.

THREE STUDENTS,MENDERS DF NSL,NADDEDJY PDLICEHeld Without Chargesfor Agreeing withPicketersSET MAY 22 FORNEXT LECTURE INSTUDENT SERIESThe date for the lecture by Mrs.Gifford Pinchot has been set forTuesday, May 22 at 8:30 in Mandelhall, according to an announcementissued yesterday by Henry Sulcer,publicity manager of the StudentLecture Service.Tickets will go on sale tomorrowin the box office in Mandel hall, theUniversity bookstore, and Wood¬worth’s, priced at 85 cents for mainfloor center seats and 55 cents lorthe other seats.Mrs. Pinchot, wife of the presentgovernor of Pennsylvania, is beingpresented as the sixth and finalspeaker in the current series of Stu¬dent Lectures. It will be her firstappearance in Chicago in recentyears. She is well known in the Eastfor her humanitarian work amongthe laboring class, especially in thecoal mines, steel mills, and sweatshops.Besides her work among the labor¬ers, Mrs. Pinchot is somewhat of apolitician. At present she is engag¬ed in a campaign for the election ofher husband as United States sen¬ator. Three mem^bers of the local chap¬ter of the National Student Leaguewere taken into custody by policeyesterday afternoon while they werepeacefully observing a demonstra¬tion at the new Wendell Phillipshigh school at 50th and State streets.Eight University students attendedthe demonstration but only threewere detained by the police. The stu¬dents were released after they hadbeen questioned.Students ArrestedThe three students who were ar-realted are Lois Fleischman, ^JoaoiWalter, and Bernard Brandschaft.The five others were Severn Provis,Jack Staver, Joseph Kepecs, Augus¬tus Kelley, and Virginia Bash.The new Wendell Phillips highschool is under construction by theCWA. It is being picketed by theConsolidated Trades Council organ¬ization because the CWA officialsshowed undue discrimination in theselection of workers on the project,according to the claims of the Con¬solidated Trades Council. The Uni¬versity students were arrested whilethey were walking near the highschool, intending to participate in ademonstration against racial discrim¬ination shown thus far.Police Start QuestioningThe students were stopped nearthe high school and told by the policethat they should not go near thescene of the demonstration. Intend¬ing to demonstrate the proceedingsfrom as close a view as possible, thestudents separated from each otherand approached the school. The po¬lice then proceeded to pick them upone by one, and taking them to theWabash station, giving no reasonfor their detention.At the station the students weresubjected to severe questioning con¬cerning their reasons for being pres¬ent at the demonstration, were mis¬treated for some time, and then wererelease. Four members of the Inter¬national Labor Defense had beenpreviously arrested and beaten by thepolice.The National Student League, pri¬marily participating in student strug¬gles for academic freedom, also takesan interest in the struggles of theworking class. The local chapter hasbeen active during recent monthsin the anti-war activities on cam¬pus, and also is active in attemptsto better the conditions of the work¬ers in the stock-yards district.Boucher Reveals Students ObtainBetter Grades by Individual StudyA survey recently completed byChauncey S. Boucher, dean of theCollege, shows that students takingthe comprehensive examinations inthe four survey courses without firstattending the course receive highergrades, on the average, than do stu¬dents who have attended the courses.This is interpreted to mean that theUniversity’s brighter students aretaking full advantage of this time¬saving feature of the new plan.In the first year that examinationswere offered (June, 1932, to June,1933, inclusive), 271 students tookthem after attending courses for twoquarters or less. Computing on thebasis of A as 4, B as 3, C as 2, Das 1, and F as 0, the average of these271 students was 2.31 while the aver¬age of the entire group was 1.90.Higher proportions of the 271 re¬ceived high grades and lower propor¬tions received low grades.26 Per Cent Receive “A”The superiority of the faster stu¬dents was again demonstrated in ananalysis of the results of the fourexaminations given last September.Of the 60 students who took the ex-*n|inaItion witholut tregi^tering *forany part of the corresponding course,26.7 per cent wrote “A” examina¬tions; 17.2 pr cent of the 99 studentswho took an examination after at¬tending the course for two quartersor less received “A’s” while only 1.7per cent of the 173 students who took an examination after attend¬ing the entire corresponding coursewrote “A” examinations. The 60 stu¬dents (22 per cent) who had not reg¬istered for any part of the corre¬sponding course received 80 per centof the “A” grades, and but 7.2 percent of the “F” grades.However the June examinationsare more typical of the student bodybecause the September ,«Troup is heav¬ily weighted with students at the ex¬treme levels of ability, those whohave flunked the June examinations,and those who have used the sum¬mer for independent study and takethe fall test? without attending thecourse.METCALF SPEAKS TOLEISURE TIME GROUPT.

Elections in all campus organiza¬tions are at hand.To this situation of unrest which someone un¬fortunately ordained to occur simultaneously withJune examinations. The Daily Maroon offers a"new plan” for student activities.In an editorial series we intend to analyze thepresent situation, to detect certain influential prin¬ciples, assumptions, and forces, and to demon¬strate what direction student activities are taking.Steps of progress or retrogression in studentactivities are necessarily political, i. e. they im¬ply changes of constitution or government andchanges of human group behavior. trary, a man smart enough to master the mechan¬ics of football and to keep a cool head on thefield is intelligent enough to pass any undergrad¬uate subject. It is time and interest demandedby athletics that contribute to apparent density ofthe athlete in the classroom.Head men in other activities encounter identicaldifficulties.*From our second proposition very naturallycomes our third: Interest in extra-curricular ath¬letics and activities declines as the individual prog¬resses in education or—better—time spent at theUniversity.Participants in any branch of the extra-curri¬cular by the third and fourth years begin to con¬template their net gains. They finally concludethat they "missed the boat."The University, they rightly reason, exists tooffer them an education. They, it seems, hadhad the mistaken notion that extra-curricular suc¬cess was the aim of a university career, ratherthan education.None of these propositions seem startling. Yetas we add several more and extend their connota¬tion, we predict the resulting conclusions will beastounding.—J. P.

This new cleanliness mayperhaps be attributed to the diplomatic encour¬agement, intervention, and arbitration by theDean of Students office.Next, we may assume that student activitiesare necessary for the College at the University.A factor in this necessity is attraction of stu¬dents to the University. Among high school stu¬dents there exists a certain illusory desire forwhat they think is collegiate atmosphere. Theybelieve that student activities and athletics pro- Jean Seymour having phutted with Jack An¬derson, the Texas ranger is in this spot: Bill K.Sherwood claims property rights.

Extra-curricularactivities were introduced at Harvard for the firsttime in America to keep students out of trou¬ble. Harvard authorities apparently were unableto give the earlier men of the Crimson enough todo. To keep spare student moments occupiedthey introduced the realm of the extra-curricular.Perhaps if they had had the future of Americaneducation really at heart they would have con¬templated that innovation at greater length.We will discount the psychological, educationaland social advantages of activities in speaking oftheir necessity since they appear in part to be mererationalizations, though excellent arguments maysupport each of those advantages.Second, individual students find that the quant¬ity of participation in activities varies inverselywith the quality of their academic record.It is not always true that athletes, for example,are deficient in native intelligence.

Myimpression was that they had joined“the fathers’’ many moons ago. Buthere is one in the person of H. A.Vernon who yesterday rose from theindividualists’ grave to proclaim theoutworn doctrine of Laissez-Faire.In the role of a Dr. Wirt Mr.Vernon vigorously denounces thebrain trust, although apparently hisattendance at the University of Chi¬cago shows he has brains enough tothink that brains are a good thingto have sometimes. Perhaps not ingovernment, eh Mr. Vernon?j Our friend deplores this govern-I ment as one in the hands of “a smallI group of Socialists and radicals.’’In saying this he has made the same; rror as the Chicago Tribune in thathe associates all manner of changeand liberalism with Socialism andradicalism. Socialism is a politicaltheory advocating collective owner¬ship of all public utiltes. Has therebeen any attempt by the governmentoutside of control and cooperationI with industry actually to take over1 and operate our public utilities.In a passionate outburst our friendwrites, “It is only a matter of time’till a leader shall rise among us, tolead us back to a government which |shall once more be in accord with ;the Constitution and our Declaration \of Independence.” Does not Mr. jVernon know the famous passage in ithe Declaration of Independence jwhich advocates the right of revolu-1tion and says that “whenever anyform of governm.ent becomes destruc- :tive of these ends it is the right of .(Continued on page 3)DREXELFrida.v—Grrta GarboCHRISTINA” THKATRB$68 B.

Amongthese contenders are Jack Fleming,sophomore middle distance star, 01-lie Olson, captain and high jumpexpert, George Farley who scored inthe last conference mile, Don Horne,javelin thrower, and their all-aroundperformer, Duggins, who is best inthe quarter, good in the lows, andfair in the broad jump.Bart Smith, local hurdler and dis¬cus thrower, is still suffering fromhis injured ankle, and may not be ofmuch use on Saturday. Though JayBerwanger scored 18 points againstPurdue, Merriam was none too pleas¬ed with his performances and looksfor better times and distances fromthe decathlon star. Hal Block, fav¬orite in the 100 last week, was shutout; Bob Milow, apparently over¬trained, ran poorly, and severalothers made di.sappointing showings.The field events start at 2 andthe track competition begins at 2:30.LETTERS TO THEEDITOR(Continued from page 2)the people to alter or to abolish it,and to institute a new government,laying its foundations pn such prin¬ciples, and organizig its powers insuch form, as to them shall seemmost likely to effect their safety andhappiness.”Mr. Vernon ends with the nobleand rhapsodic climax, “truth crush¬ed to earth shall rise again.” Whatcan he mean by “truth?” Can hemean Sam Insull’s swindle of theAmerican people because of an in¬adequate regulation of public util¬ities by the government or perhapsthe Reconstruction Finance Corpora¬tion’s afmous loan to the bank ofCharlie Dawes—once a vice-presidentof our nation.

The “million dollar” in¬field, with its wealth of reserve ma¬terial, has dwindled into a liability.The pitchers have failed to pitch win¬ning ball. And the hitters haveflopped at crucial moments.What’s wrong with the Maroons?One bad inning usually tells thestory. The pitching usually faltersfor one inning. The infield takes aninning off for booting. .\nd presto!the game is lost.Wehling Is Hard Luck ManThe outfield has be» n the one en¬couraging item of the team. RalphWehling, who specializes in hardluck, has been particularly outstand¬ing, along with Dave Levin. Althoughhe couldn’t hit the size of his hatlast year, Ralph has developed intoone of the leading run manufactur¬ers on the team and has admirablyfilled the leadoff role. Despite suchtreatment as being continuouslybeaned by his mates in batting prac¬tice, having his finger smashed ina door by another playful team¬mate, and donating his head as atarget for disgusted victims ofstrikeouts to toss their bats at,Ralph is continuously improving inevery game.Levin, of course, made his reputa¬tion last year and is living up toit in all respects this year.Infield UncertainMarv Berkson and Freddy Lauer-man have been vicing for the otheroutfield post, with Marv having theslight advantage. Both will be press¬ed by Jack Cochran, however, whomay have to return his shortstopposition to Bill Haarlow if Ed Thomp¬son’s sprained ankle recovers suffi¬ciently to permit him to play at firstagainst Wisconsin tomorrow.The loss of Johnny Baker, whowas to be the regular first baseman,has made the infield pro'blem acute.Ed Thompson and BUI Haarlow havebeen taking turns at first, but neith¬er has thrilled the customers. Bothare good hitters, but Haarlow hasbeen disappointing at the plate be¬cause of his tendency to tighten upunder pressure.Bill Comerford, who specializes inmaking hard plays look easy, haslately developed a tendency for mak¬ing easy plays look hard and hishitting has also dropped off. Heshould settle down soon, however, orKaplan or Kacina will be given atrial. ALPHA DELT DEFEATSlAPPA SIGMA, 8-7,IN SOLE MA GAMETh strong Alpha Delta Phi play¬ground ball team won its fifth con¬test of the season in the featuregame of yesterday’s two games. At¬tempting to cinch second place andmaybe to plunge into the lead, thehard-hitting boys from the big houseopposite Eckhart pounded Ahdrewsfor eleven hits to eke out a win overKappa Sigma, 8 to 7. Kerr led thewinners with two hits, a single anddouble, besides scoring three of histeam’s eight runs. Runyan, with twosingles, accounted for two runs.Glomset and Anderson of Kappa Sigdivided four singles between them.Two other scheduled games werefoa-feited. Kappa Nu won in thismanner from Sigma Alpha Epsilon;and Zeta Beta Tau defaulted toDelta Upsilon.The Alpha Delt victory gave theman undisputed lead in the B'etaleague. Leading by the margin of amere half game over Kappa Sigma,the remaining few games of the sea¬son will prove of the utmost conse¬quence.The Kappa Nu-S. A.

Shaughnessy, for the fiveweeks of the practice, has been mov¬ing his charges around and aroundfor several reasons. Number one isprobably the development of hiddentalent, but the second reason, not soevident, is undoubtedly the lurkingevil, ineligibility.Ralph Belfanz, the Texas flash,widely heralded as an end two yearsago, has developed into one of themost savage blocking backs we haveever seen. Bob Perretz, in the tech¬nology of the gridiron, was a runningguard last fall, but this fall may seehim doing his running at end. GordonPeterson, a converted center has beenoperating at end. His brother Barthas also been playing at a wing po¬sition. Another of last season’s ends.Rainy Wells, has been changed intoa halfback. He has been doing ex¬cellent work in the new post.Coach Shaughnessy has given noindication as to preferences, andwith the little matter of examina¬tions pending, the Coach isn’t act¬ing foolishly and building a team ofineligibles. From what has beenseen of the spring action, and hear¬say as to the scholastic abilities ofthe boys, a backfield with Ed Cullenat quarterback, Ewald Nyquist atfull, and Belfanz and Jay Berwangerat the half spots would be a pretty— MOTHER’S DAYSunday, May 13JOHNSON & JENSENFLORISTS2313 E. 71«t St. Ph.
