SEPTEMBER 12. 1934 -Uw •> S.wpje Copy Price Three CentsHUTCfflNS TO GREET 750 FRESHMENNEW EDUCATIONALFREEDOM SHOWSMODERyRENDSOffers Opportunity toAdvance Accordingto PersonalityBy HENRY F. KELLEYThe new freedom in education hasbecome synonymous with the Uni¬versity, the modern method of learn¬ing si^rnifying: the new trend ineducation. The student comes hereno longer to be taught but to learn,and in this process of learning he isgiven freedom to proceed accordingto his personality. Students are“educated in independence.” Thereis no compulsion in the system butopportunity to develop both charac¬ter and intellect.This opportunity for freedom isbeing extended even further thisyear with the enrollment of the so-called “students-at-large” who mayenter simply as students, followingno particularly definite cour.se ofstudy and seeking no degree.Objects of PlanIn this breaking away fromroutine and rigid methods, the Uni¬versity aims at self-expre.ssionamong the students, allowing themto progress according to their ownability and desires. This gives op¬portunity for the student to accomp¬lish the work in shorter or longerperiods of time than the two yearsestimated as the average time forthe completion of the College work.However, the object was not thespeeding up of the educationalprocess for students, but the adjust¬ing of the educational process tothe needs of the individual.This work aims specifically to givethe student a thorough general edu¬cation, and to prepare him for morespecialized studies in the higherdivisions of the University.The College ProgramThe College program, besidebroadening the cultural backgroundof the individual, offers a chance tothe undecided student to choose acareer. The work consists of fourgeneral survey courses, related sub¬ject courses, and a course in Eng¬lish composition.The four survey courses are in¬troductory to the work of the higherdivisions of the Univc’'.^ity — theHumanities, the Biological Sciences,the Physical Sciences, and the So¬cial Sciences. Each of the surveysare lecture courses, covering a pe¬riod of three quarters or an aca-(Continued on page 8) New Ruling PermitsStudents-at-Largeto Study on CampusThe University now admits as“student-at-Iarge” anyone qualifiedto profit by its educational oppor¬tunities, according to a new rulingapproved by the University Senatethis summer. Intellectual capacityrather than academic credentials hasbeen made the basis of admittingthose who want an education andare not interested in degrees.In admitting these students, theUniversity becomes the first majorAmerican institution of higher edu¬cation to provide for a large classof students heretofore barred byacademic red tape. The action wasregarded by the faculty and admin¬istration as the logical extension ofthe New Plan reorganization of1930, which instituted radical newtheories of educational qualificationsand methods and swept away tradi¬tional re.strictions hedging highereducation.QualificationsB]nrollment as student-at-largewill be permitted anyone who candemonstrate ability and fitne.ss,either through experience or specialtraining, to do college or universitywork, regardless of formal qualifica¬tions. The students-at-large may at¬tend lecture courses and use thelibrary, and may take seminar typeor laboratory courses on recom¬mendation of a dean and the in¬structor in charge.The students-at-large will not beenrolled as candidates for degrees,but under the flexible provisions ofthe New Plan, should they wish toacquire this formal badge of educa¬tion they will be permitted to takethe comprehensive examinations.Tuition fees will be proportionate tothe number of courses in which thestudents-at-large wish to participateand to special facilities, such aslaboratories, they may use.Type of StudentsIn opening the University to stu¬dents-at-large, the administrationplans particularly for two types ofstudents. The first are high schoolstudents of unusual ability who wantfreedom to plan and follow theirspecial educational interests, un¬hampered by degree restrictions.The second large group of studentswho will enroll under the new class¬ification will be those of older agethan the high school level, who wantto continue their education, whetheracquired in or out of college. Bothcollege graduates and those whohave been barred from college be¬cause they lacked the formal pre¬requisites, although they may haveI had more than equivalent trainingI and experience, will be in this group.Federation to Assist in AdjustingIncoming Women to Campus LifeBy ELIZABETH SAYLERChairman, Federation of UniversityWomenThe Federation of UniversityWomen extends to the women ofthe incoming Freshman class ahearty welcome.We congratulateyou on yourchoice of schoolsand hope that wemay help makeyour life at theUniversity a hap¬py, inter esting,and profitable one.The FederationCouncil, consist¬ing of nine upper-Eli..b.th S.yl.r women, wasorganized for the purpose of a.ssist-ing the fre.shman women in adjust¬ing themselves to the bewilderinglynew environment in which they findthemselves upon their arrival at theUniversity.

The plan, changed considerablyfrom time to time during its twoyears of existence, is still in experi¬mental stages.Under the system of deferred rush¬ing freshmen cannot become mem¬bers of any fraternity until afterthe middle of their second quarterat the University. By prohibitingrushing until the sixth week of thewinter quarter, the Interfraternitycouncil, an Organization controllingrushing and other fraternity pro¬cedure, hopes to reserve the early |part of the freshman’s college life Ias a period of orientation, duringwhich the freshman will be able to'evaluate more clearly the various ichapters before making any definite .choice. iFraternities have always played ^an important part in campus life, jparticularly with regard to exti’a-curricular activities, which are large¬ly composed of fraternity men.

Rockefeller Sr. do¬nated the chapel to the University heexpressed the wish that “the build¬ing which represents religion shouldbe the central and dominant featureof the University group—proclaim¬ing by its position and architecturethat the University in its ideals isdominated by the spirit of religion.”Little did he realize that it would be¬come one of the central and dominantfeatures of the city.But this fact became well estab¬lished when last summer it was es¬timated that more than 400,000 visi¬tors toured the Chapel. Althoughthe number has not reached that thissummer, it is not far behind, and in¬terest in the University has not fal¬len off, for the number of visitors re¬questing guided tours of the campushas increased over last year.The Chapel attracts not only as an outstanding example of modern Goth¬ic architecture, but also because ofthe million-dollar canllon donated byJohn D. Rockefeller Jr. in memory ofhis mother. Ranked as the secondlargest in the world, the carillon has72 bells located at the top of the im¬posing 200-foot chapel tower. Thebells range from 10i% pounds to morethan 18 tons in weight. The interiorbeauty is enhanced by the wood carv¬ings done by a cousin of Anton Lang,the actor in the Passion Play atOberammergau.During the summer months theChapel conducts services for visitorsas well as regular carillon and organrecitals.In addition to its special summerprogram, the Chapel fulfills a definitepart in the student life of the cam¬pus.i/lc ClFRESH/MAIVAny Man may be thrown fora loss in latin Verbs . . . andstill shoV signs of enviableenlightenment . . . when youturn to Younker's for food inyour hours of trial . . . yourate a passing mark in ANYlanguage . . . give yourself abreak . . . take on a dinner atYounker’s upon your arrivaland smile in the face of ad¬versity.Luncheon 35c Dinner 65c"Chicago's best popular pricedfood”Six blocks north of the campusYOU N KER'SRESTA U RAIM TSNorth Side51East Chicago Ave. South Side1510Hyde Park Blvd.The Daily MaroonTo you who read this issue, the Board of Control of TheDaily Maroon extends an invitation to become a permanentreader of its publication, assuring yourself of adequate in¬formation about University life throughout the years you arein residence on the campus.

Intensive study of the leading Eastern campuses have goneinto this compilation and you may be assured that everything here is “right’’ fromthe standpoint of good taste.The new suits are characterized by shirredbacks, 3 buttons and most important — ventson the coats.

Among the more popular new hat shapesyou II find the “Pork Pie” models very smart for fall.Stripes in both four in hands and bows are ‘in’for the season. You’ll want the latter withpointed ends.The ever popular Argyle plaid styles still leadthe hosiery field for campus wear.Plain toed buckskin shoes, especially in brownshades are again the favorite In footwear.Rounded collars are popular among well dressedundergraduates but you’ll probably find the but¬ton down style still up in front.And finally we have the sporty new tattersallvest—it’s just about the ticket for the oddjacket combination.THE STORE FOR MENMARSHALL FIELD& COMPANY1637400 -n-jIT/THE DAILY MAROON.

The outstanding featuresof the halls are the informality andthe close association between studentand resident instructors.Study of living arrangements atother great universities enabledarchitects to construct the most mod¬ern in university dormitories, mak¬ing a distinctive community of stu¬dents. The halls, erected on thesouth side of the Midway, are builtin the form of two quadrangles—Burton and Judson Courts. Eachunit is made up of four sections witha section in each devoted to a dininghail, lounge, conference rooms, andlibrary. The quadrangle is com¬pleted by a large playing field andseveral tennis courts.The various regulations and re¬strictions are determined and en¬forced at the will and needs of thethere are several separate halls, eachwith a group with different stand¬ards, there is a common spiritthroughout. The students are com¬pletely removed, if they so desire,from the distractions of the surround¬ing city life.The seo<^ind outstanding feature of the residence halls is the fact thatthere are members of the faculty ineach hall. There are, however, noformal classes in the hails. Thesefaculty members are availible for in¬dividual or group discussions, andtheir contacts with students are var¬ied, discussing at various times mostof the courses taught in the Univer¬sity.The dormitories were made pos¬sible by the generous gifts of the lateJulius Rosenwald, and designed by21antzinger, Borie, and Medary ofPhiladelphia. Being Tudor Gothic,they follow the general architecturalnote struck by the buildings on cam¬pus. They were erected of Bedfordsandstone at a cost of $1,800,000.The quadrangles cover an entireblock, facing the Midway on 60thstreet from Greenwood avenue on theeast to Ellis avenue on the west. Thetennis courts are along the 61st streetside of the group.In the basement of the halls thereare recreation rooms that containbilliard tables, handball courts, chesstables and punching bags.

If you enterthe University with the idea that it represents onlygreat men, social life, beautiful buildings, or anyof the isolated parts which we have mentioned,your education will be in vain. Your ignoranceof the opportunities in other branches of the Uni¬versity will make you lop-sided and a generalbore.In two weeks you will be on the campus.

H.SO YOU’RE GOING TO COLLEGEAs the first issue of The Daily Maroon of 19.34-35 goes to press, a pall hangs over the campus.TTie usual places of congregation are deserted andthe last of the summer school students have de¬parted. It is the dark before the dawn.In another two weeks the scene will be trans¬formed, as seven hundred or more young menand women descend upon the University. Youwill be one of them, will share with them thelong dreamed of thrill of “going to college.” Howmuch will the real University be like your dreamof it? Will you be disappointed or pleasantly sur¬prised ?Much of the happiness and success in schoolwill depend upon this first impression which inturn will depend upon your ambitions, precon¬ceived notions of college life, and financial cir¬cumstances.Few of you have any first-hand contact withany college, let alone the University. Some ofyou may have derived your ideas from a highschool teacher who received his degree years agowhen colleges were quite different and the newplan was unknown. Others have heard of univer¬sities from the experience of the boy next doorwho was a star football player and joined a fra¬ternity, or the girl in the next block who made allthe honor societies and upon graduation wasawarded a trip to the Philippines to study racialproblems.Perhaps some have overheard parents talkingamong themselves of how “going to college” wasthe ruination of Johnny or Mary, and the admon¬ition to your parents not to send you away andspoil your character. A few of you might haveformed your ideas from the movies. In any event,you haven’t had much chance to find out for your¬self what’s it all about.Probably you are familiar with the concise de¬scriptive press in the Catalogue which tells of themany buildings and the investment they represent,of the one millon or so books in the Library, andsundry other matter of fact, blunt statements. Butthe physical plant, however important, is not theUniversity.What about the many distinguished men whosediscoveries and writings have achieved world-widerenown? The Breasteds and Comptons, dailyquoted in the press, are not the University, al-ihough they come nearer to it.Glance through this issue of The Daily Maroonwhich records the many phases of student life.Courses, studies, activites, clubs, fraternites, dor¬mitories—all are important, but no one of themis the complete picture.Tbe University is a composite of all these parts,so closely interwoven that they cannot be isolatedand studied alone. Few students, unfortunately,are able to find such a variety in their own lifehere. Like an oyster they fasten themselves to {one small particle and make it the University, |blissfully unaware of what surrounds them. jIn doing this they are defeating the spirit of the [Singes unL y { The Travelling Bazaar jWO»IS-'*". CHEERIOWell, well, so you’ve finally gotten around tothe most important part of the dear old DailyMaroon! From now on you’ll be reading theTravelling Bazaar first every morning just likeall of the Big Men and Women on Campus (B.M. 0. C.’s) have been doing for scads of years.They know you just aren’t anybody unless youmake the T. B. once a week. And are we partialto Maroon subscribers! (How’s that, Mr. Busi¬ness Manager?)Yes sir, we scoop the campus every morning!We acquaint you with things and people aroundhere even before they happen.A PUBLIC SERVICE IS A PUBLIC TRUSTJust to show you our value as a service or¬ganization, we’re going to give you some pureand unexpurgated advice about the dear old Uni¬versity—what to do and (more important) whatnot to do and why.1. Don’t let the bursar rook you fortuition. All of the old timers live on loans.2. Don’t bother about those terrible~ comprehensives all the faculty membersspout about. Nobody ever takes them. Wecouldn’t pass them if we did.3. Don’t pay any attention to the NoSmgking signs in Cobb hall. They are theBuildings and Grounds department’squaint idea of humor.4. Don’t be afraid of the young menwith the wild-looking eyes who will standaround surveying you hungrily and lickingtheir chops. They are only fraternity menlooking for more suckers to pay up themortgage.5. Don’t be too hard on your upperclass counsellors. They are probably boredwith you too.6. And don’t try to resist the prettyclub girls who will be all over Campus try¬ing to sell you everything from the StudentHandbook to last year’s textbooks. They’llget you in the end anyway.PEOPLE AND THINGSWe suppose that you are all jittery in antici¬pation of the first day of Freshman Week. Soare we. We are hoping that we’ll find at leastone good looking girl in this year’s crop. Andwe suppose that you are wondering just whatkind of animals we are too. Surprising as it mayseem, we’re not all communists. We have a swellfootball team and if it doesn’t win the Confer¬ence championship it won’t be the fault of Cap¬tain Ell Patterson and half back Jay Berwanger.We’re pretty modest but we don’t mind tellingyou that you can’t find a much better publica¬tion than The Daily Maroon. Editor Hudsonthinks so anyway. Then there are the Cap andGowners, Willie Watson and Wally Solf. They’lltake your picture free and then charge you twobucks to publish it in their yearbook next June.You’ve probably heard about the Phoenix by now.It’s a screwy rag and the humor is putrid, butEditor Harry Morrison is a pretty good guy.Oh yes, we almost forgot. There’s one guy whoruns the whole mess and whom you’ll have to lis¬ten to whether you want to or not—OUR PRESIDENTOur University has a president. This is notunusual. Several other universities have presi¬dents.Ovr president will address you when youmeet in Mandel hall September 26. This is notunusual. He does it every year.0^^r president will stand up.

It is as good a wayas any to attract people’s attention, especiallyif one is as little known as our president.Our president will then make a few witty re¬marks. He is famous for rrMking witty re¬marks. This is not unusual because he talksabout the New Plan.Our president will then tell you that you arethe ’’most intelligent freshman class that everentered the University.” If he says this andBELIEVES it, that, my friends, is unusual.WE SCRAMWe’ve dished you all the dirt and facts andsome of our fancies; so now wo should be friends.We’ll see you again the first day of school.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1934 -t-HSIX UNDEItGRtDUATEPUBUCITIONS DEPICTUK AT UNIVERSITYAbout 100 Students EditMaroon, Cap Gr Gown,and PhoenixSix publications form an integralpart of University life by dispensingnews, information, literature, andgossip, and by mirroring the manj'phases in campus activity. Morethan a hundred undergraduateswrite and edit the various periodi¬cals.The major publication group con¬sists of The Daily Maroon, the Phoe¬nix, and the Cap and Gown. Theminor publications are Comment andthe Student Handbook and the Uni¬versity Directory, issued by the staffof the Cap and Gown. Each publica¬tion is given “freedom in respect toeditorial policy, subject to the judg¬ment of a student-faculty board”consisting of Dean William E. Scott,director of publications, and appoint¬ed student representatives.Tbe Daily MaroonThe Daily Maroon, the official stu¬dent newspaper of the campus, re¬cords all the news of undergraduatelife and at the same time endeavorsto quicken student interest in activ¬ities and University problems. TheDaily Maroon staff publishes fourregular issues a week, the paper ap-jvearing Tu*»sday, Wednesday, Thurs¬day, and Friday during the schoolyear. Several special issues may bepublished at various times.Staff members are added to The)Daily Maroon once a year. Only 1those applicants who have attended jthe training school conducted by thepaper or who are otherwise able topass the informal, standard examina¬tion given to applicants are eligiblefor staff positions. The trainingclass meets weekly under the guid¬ance of members of the Board ofControl, a member of the faculty,and representatives from metropoli¬tan newspapers and advertisingfirms.The training period occupies thef.rst quarter of the would-be staffmembers work with the paper. Afterincompetent and indifferent membersj of the freshman group are weededout approximately thirty membersare added to the editorial and busi¬ness staffs of The Daily Maroon.Consequent promotions are made byvote of the Board of Control.The Office of The Daily Maroonis located in the south section ofLexington hall, 5831 University ave¬nue.The PhoenixThe Phoenix, a monthly magazine,carries in print between its brightlycolored covers the wit and humor ofthe campus. In a listing of majorcollegiate humor publications made"by the California Pelican^ it waa’ranked second to the Californiaschool’s own magazine in degree ofexcellence for the last two years.The Phoenix offers both humorousand literary articles and stories aswell as the usual run of jokes andcartoons. Its gossip columns carrythe names of a large group of thestudents who get around.Editorial and business positions onthe Phoenix are open to freshmenupon application. The Phoenix of¬fice is located adjacent to The DailyMaroon office in Lexington hall.The Cap and GownThe Cap and Gown, published inJune, is the annual of the University.Its aim is to picture with word andphotograph the activities and eventsof the year in a worthwhile form.Freshmen may obtain positions oneither the editorial or business staffsduring the autumn quarter. The Capand Gown office is located in the cen¬tral portion of Lexington hall.The minor publications of the Capand Gown, the Student Handbookand the University Directory, are is¬sued, early in the quarter. The Stu¬dent Handbook is a pocket size book,handsomely bound that contains inconcise fashion information about theUniversity. The University Directoryis a list of graduate and undergrad¬uate students together with the homeand campus addresses, telephonenumbers, and fraternal connections.Comment, a literary periodical, ispublished quarterly or more often atthe discretion of the editor. It con¬tains much of the expressed seriousthought of undergraduates and fea¬tures now and then the work of somewell known writer or thinker. Fresh- |men may obtain positions. The Com- !ment office is in Lexington hall. iThe publication group as a whole joffers almost unlimited diversity of !activities.

With 12 let¬termen, half of whom are but sec¬ond year men, returning. CoachClark Shaughnessy will very prob¬ably turn out a team that will bebetter than last year, but still onethat is not a serious contender forthe Conference title.The losses from last year’s squadhave not been overwhelming. Grad¬uation removed only three membersof the first team, Pete Zimmer, VinSahlin, and Walter Maneikis, andthree reserve players. Fully as seri¬ous from the standpoint of the teammust be added the rather upsettingineligibility of Bob Deem and JohnRice, both regular tackles. Deem anoRice were removed from competitionby a Big Ten ruling that classesjunior college work and junior col¬lege competition as equivalent to col¬lege football activity. Deem playedon a junior college team in Cali¬fornia; Rice played with a militaryacademy team, in Texas while aprep student, and because of thescarcity of competition, met somejunior college teams. Some of Rice’steammates are still considered to beeligible in major conferences otherthan the Big Ten.S«ek Guard*Shaughnessy’s greatest problem,then, is in finding tackles. Big Mer¬ritt Bush showed rapid fulfillmentof his preseason promise in the clos¬ing games of the year, and will un¬doubtedly take over one of the tacklepositions. Men for the other tackleand the two guard posts are harderto find. Bob Perretz, letterman andrunning guard of last season, willprobably work at end. Gordie Pe¬terson, a center last year, may moveover to fill in at either of the guardpositions, or, according to some, mayal.so shift out to end. Sam Whiteside,one of the outstanding players of lastyear’s freshman team, will see workat tackle and Ed Wolfenson, who isreturning to school after a year’sabsence, and Stanley Mjarynowski,reserve, tackle last year, may go alopg way in helping to solve the prob¬lem.The center of the line is adequate¬ly cared for by Captain EllmorePatterson who, although compara¬tively small, is alive and driving inhis play. Shaughnessy will have tofind an alternate center since Peter¬son has moved over. Sam Whitesidemay work in there.Ends are ProblemThe ends are another problem.John Womer, Bill Langley, and JohnBaker, all lettermen, are returningbut there is the double question ofweight and eligibility in some cases.Bart Peterson, brother of Gordie Pe¬terson and another man to return tothe University after a short interval,would make a good end, as indeedmay Gordie. In Bart’s case, thequestion of eligibility is the mainconcern. Several sophomores, DaveLeFevre, Allen Riley, Bill Gillerlain,and Thomas Kelley all have possi¬bilities at end.The backfield seems more certain.Apparently Ed Cullen will be in atquarterback, gaining the choice overTommy Flinn and Bill Lang becauseof his usually keen sense of the fit¬ness of plays. Jay Berwanger willplay left half with Rainwater Wells,end of last year, at the other; halfposition. Berwanger will be thecenter of offensive strength in thebackfield and, no doubt, will enurgeon his success of last season. RainyWells should make an excellent run¬ning mate for Jay. Wells likes thebackfield and certainly has plenty ofstrength and playing ability when hechooses to apply himself. Ewald Ny-quist, with a year’s seasoning, shouldcarry on at the fullback spot.It would be a mistake, however,to think of this combination as im- Norgren Begins Practicefor Freshmen inFirst WeekEllmore Patterson, captain andcenter of the football team, is thesparkplug of the Maroon defense.Weighing 180 pounds, he is neverthe- jless rugged and aggressive. He Icalled signals part of last season and .won the title of “father Ellmore” be- !Icau.se of his youngish air of grav-iity while presiding over the huddle.mutable. Bart Smith will be a val-|uable man at full, having worked at |that position last year commendably Iin spite of a broken leg sustained in jthe Yale game the year before. Ned jBartlett, a sophomore from Cali- ^fornia, showed good work at halfwhile a freshman and may take his jturn as relief for either Berwanger jor Wells. Adolph ’Schues.sler, anothersophomore, may break into the back-1field by dint of his fast, scrappy |play if not for his physical prow-1ess. !Face CarrollTo a large extent the 1934 foot¬ball team will be last year’s aggre¬gation plus a year of seasoning.Furthermore, Coach Shaughnessy,the successor of Amos Alonzo Stagg,the Grand Old Man of the Midway,has had his first year of Big Tencompetition and a full year with themen h? is coaching, and consequent¬ly he, too, is in better shape to meetthe coming series of games begin¬ning with Carroll college on Sep¬tember 29. The rest of the scheduleincludes more than the usual arrayof Conference opponents, six strongBig Ten schools being booked. Opportunity to engage in organ¬ized football will be extended to allincoming men when Nelson Norgren,head freshman football coach, beginswork with his yearling squad at theopening of Freshman week.The freshman teams of the lastfew years have e.stablished a highmark for the quality of men pro¬duced. Last year’s team will un¬doubtedly furnish two, or possiblythree, men who will see regular ac¬tion with the varsity. The team ofthe preceeding year gave rise toeight men who were awarded theirmajor letters when they were sopho¬mores, a feat that broke the existingrecord of five established in 1931.Suits and equipment will be issuedduring Freshman week and duringthe first week of the quarter frontthe cage in the locker room of the’'fieldhouse, located on the corner of56th street and University avenue.Practice wiH be held in the fieldnorth of the fieldhouse starting withthe first day of Freshman week.According to a ruling made by theWestern conference, first year menare not allowed to participate in in¬tercollegiate competition. Plenty ofaction in £he way of scrimmage andregular games will be furnished byintrasquad tussles and meetings withthe varsity teams. The varioussquads will divide their time betweenthe development of the fundamentalsof the game and the perfection ofthe style of play in use by opponentsof the Maroons. Previous footballexperience is not a prerequisite foicandidacy to the freshman team.Nels Norgren, freshman coach,was the first man to win 12 majorC’s in the history of the University.Norgren won four C’s a year for thethree years he was eligible for com¬petition. Also on the freshman coach¬ing staff are Kyle Anderson, Lon¬nie Stagg, and possibly Bob Deem,tackle of last year’s team.Tentative List ofReturning GridmenINVINCIBLE GYMSQUAD OUT FOR .NEW CANDIDATESFreshmen who are interested ingymnastics are urged to report assoon as possible to Coach Dan Hof-w tfer, whose abilityin building cham¬pionship teams isy well known.

It offers men not suf¬ficiently skilled or experienced forinterscholastic competition a chanceto satisfy their desire to win andkeep themselves physically fit.The division conducts tournamentsin over twenty sporting events eachyear, the seasonal events being of¬fered each quarter. All tournamentsand competitions are under studentcontrol, for the managing end ofIntramurals is conducted solely bystudents, with the aid of one facultyrepresentative. Director T. N Met¬calf and the regular coaching staffact in advisory capacity, but givethe students almost unlimited powersto conduct the division as they seefit.In many of the tournaments, com¬petition is divided into three groups,fraternity, dormitory, and independ¬ent groups of individual unattachedentrants. In the most popular sports,autumn quarter touchball, winterquarter basketball, and spring quar¬ter baseball, entrants are further di¬vided into leagues of five or sixteams each. Awards, cups, plaques,and medals, are made to winningteam and to individual place win¬ners.Eligibility rules for Intramuralcompetition are singularly simple. All Invite Freshmen toOpening Grid GameFreshmen will be permitted tosee the opening football game ofthe season on Saturday, Septem¬ber 29, free as a part of theFreshman week program, it hasbeen announced by the athleticdepartment. The game will comeas a closing feature of the week’sorientation program.

Prominent members ofthe faculty, each experts in the |particular field, lecture to the stu- 'dents. iThese lectures are given from jthree to five times a week to a large jgroup of students. Once each week Ithe large group is divided into jsmaller divisions for discussion of ;the work covered. These discussions :are supeiwised by some member of jthe department who meets with stu- ■dents individually and offers sug- 'gestions as to the needs of the ;particular person. Besides these dis¬cussions some of the survey courseshave special honor sections for stu¬dents who show exceptional abilityor interest in the work.Although the College term isestimated as two years for the aver¬age student, exceptional studentsmay complete it in a shorter periodand those requiring longer time maytake it. An outstanding example ofthe complete freedom allowed is thefact that a student received thedegree of Bachelor of Arts at thelast June convocation after only two jyears at the University. ,Throughout the student’s course, jhe has an adviser whose business it |is to advise him in his particular 'problems and to indicate to him how ;he may best prepare for the exam- jinatiors. |The specific requirement for thecompletion of the College program ;and for entrance to one of the |divisions is the passing of compre- Ihensives in the work of the four ;survey courses, two related subject ;courses, and English composition, iIn the case that a student may have :satisfied a part of the College re- ■quirements he may, if he desires, |take courses in the divisions while |completing his College work. iThe HumanitiesThe work of the four general ;courses is the basis for the general [education which is the chief aim of 'the College program. The Human,ities is based on history of the civil-izations which have contributed most ;to the shaping of the contemporaryoutlook on life. The course presentsthe literature, philosophy, art, andreligion of the cultures beginningwith that of ancient Egypt and the jTigris-Euphrates valley. The workthen advances into western Europetreating the civilizations of Greeceand Rome. Approaching modernWestern European culture, thecourse treats in detail its develop¬ment from medieval times to thepresent day.Cultivation of the scientific habitof mind is one of the objects of theBiological Sciences. The attainmentof this object is cougl^ through re¬peated illustratioim of tlie scientificmethod of attack upon nature’sproblems. Other objectives of the course are: to implant such practicalinformation about biology as is de¬sirable for a modern citizen, and toawaken interest in the major con¬cepts of biology and the machineryof the organic world.The Physical Sciences course sur¬veys the various fields of chemistry,astronomy, physics, mathematics,radioactivity, geology, and geogra¬phy. In chemistry the course dealswith the many varieties of formswhich matter assumes in our envir- distnbution in nature and their re¬actions; relation of electrical andchemical behavior.Coordinated in the course are alsofacts covering the following: theearth as an astronomical body; themoon, the sun and its family ofplanets; the stars, star-clusters, andgalaxies; the analytical characterand method of the physical sciences;the relation and character of thecor tributions of mathematics to thedevelopment of these sciences; thefundamental laws of energy; themany manifestations of the atomictheory; sound, light, infra-red, ultra¬violet, and x-rays as examples of rocksnomic aspects; the character of thegeologic record and determinationof a time scale, shifting of land andsea areas; periods of mountain mak¬ing and degradation; and climaticchanges, and problems in surveyingand mapping the surface of theearth.The work in this course is mademore vivid and interesting by theuse of motion of motion pictures asillustrations and various field tripsto regions that illustrate some prin¬ciple of the course.The Social Sciences are interestedmainly in the impact of the complex as theon economic,Itbegins with an examination of theproblems and methods of investiga-Hon peculiar to the social sciences.Then the course contrasts the so¬ciety that preceded the industrialrevolution with that of contemporarytimes. The changes manifested be¬tween the two societies are studiedcarefully with a view toward under¬standing the major social problemsof the present day. This study givesopportunity for the introduction ofdescriptive and analytical methodsof research.DON’T FORGETI/rto get YOUR free copy ofthe campus’ pride and gloryin humor, the PHOENIX,while you’re on campus dur¬ing Freshman Week.irs FULL OF NEWS!irs FULL OF GOSSIP!irS FULL OF HUMOR!IT’S FULL OF FRESHMEN NAMESWatch for your name in thePHOENIXIT WILL NOT COST YOU A DURNED PENNYBUTshould you want to read articles by nationallyfamous humorists,should you want to see cartoons by nationallyfamous cartoonists,should you want to enjoy yourself for the restof the yearshould you want a PHOENIX all to your ownYOU’LL HAVE TO SPEND A DURNED BUCK!If you have a dollar laying around loose, just sendit to thePhoenixuniversity of chirago—faculty exchange—box 97J
