JANUARY 10, 1935 Price Three CentsDEBATERS SPEAKON QUESTIONS INMARO^POLLAffirm Impossibility ofNeutrality in Caseof WarIn an unanimous opinion that theI'nited States cannot stay out of an¬other great war the six speakers ofthe University Debate union’s sym-po.sium last night preview’ed a crosssection of campus attitudes concern¬ing the forthcoming peace poll.Speakers who appeared before theUnion were John P. Barden, who vis¬ited Kurope last year, Lewis Dexter,president of the Cosmos Club, GeorgMann, member of the executivecommittee of the International La¬bor Defense, Barney Kleinschmidt,,member of the ORC, George Mess-,mer, former member of the ROTC,and Marie Berger, independent. 'Explain PollHoward P. Hudson, editor of The jDaily Maroon opened the meeting by :presenting the peace poll questionsand outlining the implications in¬volved. He then turned the meet¬ing over to the speakers who repre¬sented both personal and organiza¬tion views.Barden expressed belief that as |soon aa the Saar plebiscite is takenand if it is pro-German, Germanywill immediately face internal revoltas forces will then be focused onthe next most important problem,national affairs. Neutrality violationshe felt would cause the United Statesto enter war..Mann accused the poll as u.selessas it ignores the fundamental prob- |leiii, that of the social order. He ex-prt»8sed opinion that he would bear 'arms for the United States, but notfor the “Boys in Washington.”Propaganda j“It is not the poll but propagandawhich is important now,” expressedBerger who believed that no mat-1ter how people felt now, all depends 'on how we feel under strain of ac- ‘tual war propagancta.In the belief that the problem isto prevent war before it starts, forafter entrance all is futile, Dexterencouraged support of the I..eaguein view of its 1927 Saar decisionsand its curbing of recent Hungariandifficulties.Kleinschmidt was the only dissent¬er from the proposition of govern¬ment control of armaments by point¬ing to failures of past embargoesand pointing out that some countrieswould profit distinctly by his moveto the detriment of others.“If the Saar does not go German,there will be trouble in Germany,”replied Mes-smer to Barden. Hesummed up the discu.ssion by statingthat the I.«eague was weak because ofnori-.\meiican membership. ■Divisions Show iMarked Increasein Registration.\lthough the final figures on theeni-ollment for this quarter are notyet available, those announced yes-;terday by Ernest C. Miller, the Uni¬versity Registrar, indicate that therehas been a marked increase in all di¬visions of the University except theCollege. 1The figures, which are based onthe number <>f paid registrations atthe end of the fifth day of the quar¬ter, show that the total enrollmentof the professional schools and divi¬sions including the College is 5,015.This represents an increase of 238students or an increase of 5 per centover the enrollment at the end of thefifth day of the winter quarter lastyear.Enrollment in the College, how¬ever, is 1,304 which represents a de¬crease of 27 students when comparedwith the figures of the same time lastyear. The total enrollment of theUniversity is 6,319 which indi¬cates an increa.se of 211 students oran increase of 3.5 per cent over thefigures for last year. Mr. Miller ex¬pressed the belief that complete datawill show an even more marked in¬crease. - Wirth, SchumanBack Kruegerfor Ward PostThe attitude of Gerald P. Nye, Re¬publican senator from North Dakotaand leader of the Senate munitionsinquiry toward the questions in theLiterary Digest peace poll was re¬ceived yesterday in a letter addressedto The Daily Maroon.Senator Nye .stated, “First, I dobelieve that the United States can.stay out of another great war if itwill but adopt policies which will pre¬vent commercial interests from oc-chpying a position which might leadto consequences that would naturally«lrag us into a war which, up to thattime, was none of our business. Ifthe borders of the United States wereinvaded, 1 would bear arms in defenseof my country, but I would not givemyself to a cause which found ourcountry invading the borders of an¬other unless that invasion was occa¬sioned by the attempt of anothercountry at our border.”'In answer to the second question,the senator replied, “I think a nation- \al policy calling for an Americannavy and air-force second to none'will insure our getting into anotherwar rather than keeping out of it.“Third, I do most emphatically fav- Ior governmental control of armamentand munitions industries and, as re- ^spects some of them, I believe the'government ought to make itself the 'sole manufacturer of machinery ofnational defense.”The answer to the fourth point was(Continued on page 2)DANCE IoIpLAGEDON SALE TODAY BYHONORARY SOCIETIESTickets, priced at $1.10 apiece, go ;on .sale today for the all-University ;dance spon.sored jointly by Iron;Mask and Skull and Crescent.

CHAPEL COMMITTEEPLANS DRUGE LAKEWEEK-END EXCURSION IChoose February 2, 3 as!Dates for Winter |Discussions !Plans for another Druce Lake jj week-end discussion trip were ji launched yesterday at a meeting of! a special committee of interested( students in the Chapel office. These II week-end trips of which one or two i: have been held each year for the past jI six years, have become a Univer-1I sity institution attractir. j forty or j: fifty students on each occasion.February 2 and 3 was chosen asthe week-end for this winter’s con¬ference at Druce Lake, a camp lo¬cated forty-five miles northwest ofChicago. A committee composed ofNorman Davidson, Betty Davis, Con-nis Fish, Hannah Fisk, Philip Law¬rence, Edith McCarthy, James Mc-|Devitt, Bettyann Nelson, iTecnardOlson, and Robert Walker is now en¬gaged in planning the program forthe week-end. The Chapel speaker!on Sunday, February 3, is Dr. Harry jA. Overstreet, head of the depart-jment of Philosophy at the Collegeof the City of New York, and a not¬ed author. An invitation has beensent to Dr. Overstreet to be the first.speaker at the conference Saturday ]morning. 'Leonard Olson, Alpha Delta Phi, Iwas chosen by the committee yes-!terday as the student chairman of ^the week-end discussions. The com-1mittee, which is composed of men |and women who have participated in ;previous conferences at Druce Lake jor w’ho are interested in this type 1of activity, will meet again tomor-1row afternoon in the Chapel office Iat 3:30 to complete arrangements;for the conference. iMobiles Shown inExhibit of NewSculpture TypesDemonstrating a new type of,sculpture in which the element oftime is introduced, Alexander Cald-er of New York is presenting an ex- {hibit of his work as sponsored by the 'Renaissance Society. The exhibits |will be held in 205 Wieboldt hall |daily from 2 to 5 starting Monday!and continuing until January 31.It might be advisable to hesitate ;before labelling Calder’s art as sculp- \ture since his works are unusually!different from the ordinary concep- jtion of sculpture. Marcel Duchamps,a Fi-ench painter, the creater of j“Nude Descending the Stairs” andamong the first of the cubists andfuturists, has distinguished thesepieces of originality as Mobiles in or¬der to express the idea of motion,contained in the new sculptui'e.According to Calder, each objectis for visual enjoyment only and isnot a representation of any kind of !physical phenomena. Neither is it areproduction of some design, as arepainting or statues which representa particular formation. The mainpurpose is to show relationship inspace and movement; they are com¬positions of dynamic elements rather(Continued on page 4)WELFARE WORKERSHOLD MEETING HEREThe American Association of So¬cial Workers w'ill hold a joint meet¬ing with the American Public Wel¬fare association this Saturday and,Sunday at Judson court.

Ex¬cept between the hours of 5 and10:30, the time allotted for the openhouses, fraternities are not givenauthorization to contact freshmen.This ruling applies in the case ofcalling for a rushee.From the president of the Coun¬cil, the Maroon received the follow¬ing letter:• “The series of open housesfor rushing provide freshmenwith their best opportunity toexamine fraternities and tocompare their relative merits.Each fraternity will have its en¬tire chapter present, and fresh¬men are encouraged to visit allthe houses.See All HousesThese affairs are open housesin the true sense of the word.Freshmen are invited to visitany house, stay as long as theywish, and leave when they so de¬sire. Guests ai’e under no ob¬ligation of any sort to the fra¬ternities that entertain them.Freshmen would be wise to seea little of every house insteadof spending the entire eveningfrom 5 to 10:30 visiting threeor four of the houses.John Womer,Pi •es..

Herzfeld, fielddirector of the Oriental Institute’sPersian expedition at Persepolis, willgive three lectures on “The Archaeol¬ogical History of Iran,” on Monday,Tue.sday, and Wednesday, January14, 15, and 16, in the Oriental Insti¬tute lecture hall at 4:30.Professor Herzfeld is returningfrom Persia where he has been ex¬cavating and restoring the palace ofthe Persian Emperors, Darius andXerxes, at Persepolis. It w’as throughhim that the Oriental Institute se¬cured in 1930-31 permission to un¬earth ruins. Professor Herzfeld wasformer ai’chaeological adviser to thegovernment of Iran (Persia).At A Century of Progress lastyear, the Institute exhibited photo¬graphs of the sculptures brought tolight by Professor Herzfeld. In ad¬dition, important discoveries havebeen made by the expedition in un¬covering a well-preserved Neolithicvillage near Persepolis. At present,some early pottery found by the ex¬pedition is on exhibition in the Ori¬ental Institute museum.It is expected that Professor Herz¬feld w'ill illustrate his lecture withlantern slides that he personallymade on the expedition.SIMONS DISCUSSESECONOMIC POLICIES“Proposals for a Liberal EconomicPolicy” is the subject of a speech tobe given today at 4:30 by Henry C.Simons, assistant professor of Eco¬nomics, before the Graduate Clubof Business and Economics in Has¬kell 202.Having chosen a subject that is op¬portune at the present time, Mr. Si¬mons will make a critical survey ofthe New Deal in terms of alternatepolicies that could have been fol¬lowed. He will not deal with themerits of President Roosevelt’s pol¬icies, but rather with steps thatcould have been taken along differ¬ent lines.A popular topic of discussion, Mr.Simon’s subject should clarify theideas of both the critics and the sup¬porters of the present administra¬tion. The meeting is open to thepublic. i Wirth, SchumanSupport Kruegerfor Ward PostNew developments in the alder-manic campaign arose yesterdaywhen three other members of the jUniversity faculty came out in .sup-1port of Maynard C. Krueger, for al- |derman of the fifth ward. |They are Louis Wirth, associateprofessor of Sociology; Frederick L.Schuman, assistant professor of Po¬litical Science; and Bessie L.

The play has recently beenpublished, using every sentence thatwas actually spoken by a commiteemember or witness. A letter con¬cerning the proposed presentationw'as recently received by the clubfrom Gerald Nye, senator from NorthDakota, who has been in charge ofthe investigations. It reads:“It is too much to hope that thegeneral public will read all the hear¬ings.

AJEVIVALTo Present Robertson’sRealistic Play,‘Caste’Deviating from the usual pattern,the annual revival play of the Dra¬matic association will be presentedon January 24, 25, and 26 accordingto the schedule of winter quarterproductions released yesterday. Mir¬ror revue will be given March 1 and2, and will be followed by two moreplays later in the quarter.The revival play selected is“Caste” by Thomas Robertson. Thedrama was one of the first written bythe modern realistic school. It dealswith the love affair of the Honor¬able George D’Alroy who marries aballet dancer, the daughter of achampion of the working class.Conflict ArisesConflict arises from the situationsin the play. The father-in-law ofD’Alroy, although a defender ofworkers, is not a w’orkingman him¬self. Furthermore, he is a half-drunken temperance leader. Heclashes with D’Alroy’s mother, amember of the landed gentry. It isthe struggle of the two that fur¬nishes the central theme of the play.First presented in the Prince ofWales’ theater of London in 1867,“Caste” precedes Ibsen by more thana decade. Robertson’s drama was in¬troduced to this country on August5, 1867, when the performance at theBroadway theater in New York cre¬ated a sensation by its realistic prob¬lem and revolutionary treatment. Al¬though its language may seem stilt¬ed to modern audiences, it is quitesimilar to that found in the writingsof George Bernard Shaw and others.Change DateThe revival play has ordinarilybeen given in the spring. This year,however, the winning play of thestudent play-writing contest will begiven at that time, and will take theplace of the playfest usually givenin the winter quarter.Rehearsals for the two plays alsoon the schedule of the Dramatic as¬sociation have been started. Theywill be directed by Hal James andHelen Hartenfeld. The cast for therevival play will be selected and an¬nounced next week.Noted AuthorityOn African LifeSpeaks TonightMrs. Laura C. Bolton, noted au¬thority on African tribal music, willspeak before the Sociology club to¬night at 7:30 in Social Science 122on the subject, “Some Aspects of theLife of An African Tribe.”Speaking chiefly aout the Ovim-bundu tribe, she will also deal withthe economic life and social institu¬tions of the various South Africantribes. She has made five expeditionsinto the Nigerian and Sudan re¬gions, where she has extensivelystudied the music of the dance as itis expressed among the native tribes.At her lecture here at the Univer¬sity. she will pre.sent movies andslides, with phonographic recordingswhich she collected fi’om the Africannatives.As a graduate student in the .An¬thropology department, Mrs. Boltonhas returned to the University tocontinue her study of tribal music.LAW LIBRARYHarry .4.

Needless to say his hght against‘‘radicals” in universities and colleges was widelydiscussed and strongly condemned. Any groupthat felt as strongly for the cause of freedom ofopinion and speech as did this could not do other-%vise. The following editorial from The DailyPrincetonian is a worthy representation of thefeelings of the editors as they returned to theirrespective schools.—ed.The Sage of San Simeon has a new ace up hissleeve. Not content with prattling against inter¬nationalism, he is now devoting his attentionto the eradication of college Communism,which, he proclaims, is growing rapidly throughthe subversive teachings of bearded professors.Mr. Hearst has a perfect right to resent Com¬munism, but there is sufficient evidence to showthat under the guise of this “100 percent Amer¬icanism” he is waging a battle against all dissent¬ing opinion. That the methods whereby he at¬tempted to justify his personal ends at Syracuseand Columbia were promptly exposed and con¬demned does little credit to Mr. Heart. It does,however, honor a group of prominent educatorswho were determined to see no intrusion ofFascistic doctrine on the American campus, andjustly protested against this effort to stamp outfreedom of thought and expression. Mr. Hearst,apparently, is going to encounter more oppositionthan he has anticipated.Another professedly “clever move” was to 'sponsor a Washington meeting of the editors ofall college dailies. There they were feted anddined, and then removed to New York to be sub¬jected to the wisdom of some of Mr. Hearst’s fore¬most satellites. Two Washington newspaper menof recognized enterprise asserted this was just hisway of pouring syrup after a challenging lettersent him by the Association of College Editors.Mr. Hearst imagined, they declared, that suchgenerosity would make immeasurably easier theprogress of the “red scare” among the separatecolleges.Following the conference, “New-Week” claimedthe “Hearst-Youth hatchet buried”—as farcical amisstatement as ever appeared in print. It can¬not be denied that a few of those present hadslightly too much regard for Mr. Hearst’s altru¬ism, and were rudely shocked when he was ac¬cused of ulterior motives. But the overwhelm- ing majority came and went in firm opposition to |his principles and methods. Talks by Hearst- 'writers Richard Washburn Child and Bainbridge ‘Colby and indirect offers to become wavers of the jHearst banner did surprisingly little to alter their Iopinion. Drop in the bucket though it may have ibeen, the money which rolled from the Hearstian jcoffers to smoothe the surface can be written in ithe ledger with red ink. Mr. Hearst, it wouldseem, is pinning too much faith in human stupid¬ity.The Travelling BazaarBy RABELAISCONTRIBUTORS’ DAY: IN WHICH THE CUS-TOMERS DO THE WORK(It is probably the New Year spirit—we havebeen swamped with potry and pomes of all kinds.So today we give you largely a number of POMESsent in by our dear readers.)4 * *DEDICATED TO THE EDITORWhen Tokyo scraps the Naval TreatyOur papers yell, “For shame’’And heap upon each son of NipponA vile and searing name.If Hitler tries a coup d’etat *Which does not suit our tasteWe write an editorial splurgeTo scathe his soul in haste.New York’s dens and gambling divesIts holes of crimes and sins—W’e dip our pen in vitriolW’hen news of these begins.There’s nothing we’re afraid to printNo protests can confound usUnless, of course (That’s something else)It’s news too close around us.—R.

Letters tothe EditorAN APPRECIATIONDecember 10, 1934.More and more I feel that I mustmake some public expression to theDramatic Association of my joy overseeing the premiere of my husband’splay, Andrew Jackson. Mr. Mastersregretted that he could not witnessthis first performance, but colds arecontrary things at times and not tobe fooled wdth. However, he nevercould have appreciated it as I did,because, after all, the University ofChicago is my Alma Mater, and itwas my Dramatic Club giving theproduction.And what a production it was! Thedirection was skillful in every detail—no opportunity was lost. To do anhistorical play with young actors, es¬pecially when the script gives nomore stage directions than doesShakspere, requires hypnotic pow¬ers. I hope I told each member ofthe cast personally how well he orshe did. Even the silent members ofthe delegation deserve individualcredit.Let us hope that the press willalways bear in mind that these play¬ers are part of a great educationalinstitution, and therefore, constitutea laboratory theater.My best wishes for the DramaticAssociation for the future, and mysincere gratitude for the perform¬ance of Andrew Jackson.Ellen Masters.Today on theQuadranglesMusic and ReligionPhonograph concert.

Where are our owndancers? George Brush is my nameAmerica’s my nationLudington’s my dwelling placeAnd Heaven’s my destination.Heaven’s My Destination is themodest, simply-told story of a trav¬elling book salesman, George Mar¬vin Brush by name, who is, how¬ever, no model of modesty nor ofsimplicity of makeup. An individ¬ual, in his early twenties, who canbe duped into swallowing liquor formedicine to cure an imaginary ill¬ness and into seeing a disorderlyhouse proprietress and her “girls"as a distinguished dowager and herlovely daughters. A devout Baptistof primitive origin, the soul and es¬sence of honesty, a college g;raduatew'ho places the Bible before CharlesDarwin, a fine tenor, a salesman ofability, a great athlete, a yearnerfor an American home with six chil¬dren, and a frowner on smoking,drinking and the other vices of theunsympathetic, calloused, hypocriti¬cal and even decaying world that hefinds himself not a part of, but nev¬ertheless thrust into intimate con¬tact with—throw them all togetherand you have soul-saving, writer ofscripture quotations on hotel blot¬ters, George Brush.Lays SceneIn MidwestWilder takes his hero, leads himthrough a succession of places com¬mon to a travelling book salesmanin small mid-western towns, thrustsforms as Les Sylphides i him into contact with typical peo¬ple, that, however, speak not wellfor American types, who kick Brushabout fearfully, laugh at him, hatehim but somehow respect him, as heattempts to hold onto his religionand his faith in his own rigid codeof morality. He adopts a drunkard’schild, rubs elbows with crude news¬papermen and marries the girl thathe had co-habitated with, and whohad borne his still-born child, in ahalf-forgotten country on an obscureroad that he. Brush, had tried invain to find again when he becameobsessed with the realization that,by the Bible, she was his lawful wife j ofTYROLER 2ndand good and evil. He can adjustwhat he sees so that it becomes whathe wishes to see, and he is thorough¬ly confident of the existence of meth¬od in his madness, or, better still,that in his code and in his faith isthe eternal good and the eternalright. “The whole world’s crazy butme," says Brush. “It is my worldand I live in it the way it shouldbe; little matter the others.. .thisis my way.” Wilder has slightly dis¬guised the Quixotic character of thehero by lending to him great con¬ceit which prevents our pitying himto the extent that we do the Don,after we have finished laughing athim. Then too. Wilder has endowedBrush with a tenor voice and athlet¬ic prowess which give him some lit¬tle common footing with the peoplethat surround him.The book is skillfully, yet simplywritten in an unadorned style thatbears little resemblance to the prosepoetry that distinguished The Wom¬an of Andros and won for Wilderthe reputation of being America’sforemost stylist. There is a half-buried pathos that, reminiscent ofCervantes, flows evenly in a deli¬cate undercurrent, obscuring itselfin the clamor and action of thebook’s racing pace then bursting outinto the open in a moment of emo-! tional climax, when the adornmentI of regular action is stripped bare,I bursting into the open, simply yeti powerfully with the restraint thatmarked Wilder as an artist of dis¬tinction in The Cabala. jWe come away from this novel |with the rapidly growing feeling of !the immensity of a true faith such Ias Brush’s. It dominates the surfacerealities of present day accepted“truths” and continues on its bitter,difficult and obstacle-surmountedway with an admirable and courage¬ous persistency.Wilder utilizes the common, evenvulgar, dialogue of the present-daymidwest, a medium that one wouldhave thought far beyond the range,of the earlier Wilder, and has writ-1ten a racy, .swift-moving novel that jputs an end forever to critics like iMichael Gold who labeled him arocking-chair novelist and the pansy iAmerican literature, without.

One ofthese is the long, but highly enter¬taining Trot of Samr^hrace by Tal¬bot Mundy.History is pleasantly mixed withfiction in a book in which adventureand intrigue abound. The tale deal¬ing with a very idealistic Greek,Tros, has its setting in the Europeof Julius Caesar, and although Trosmay be the central character, onecan’t help feeling that Caesar is themore real, the better delineated ofthe two.Tros, who tries to thwart Caesar’sconquest of Britain, is too idealistic,-too superhuman, too much of theTarzan type.* * ♦Pitcairn’s Islandby C. B. Nordhoff and J. N. Hall(Little, Brown)In contrast, the setting of Pit¬cairn’s Island is laid on an island inthe South Seas around the beginningof the 19th century. But both nov¬els amaze for their remarkablemingling of historical fact with fic¬tion. This volume completes an ex¬cellent trilogy of sea stories deal¬ing with the mystery of the disap¬pearance of an English vessel, “TheBounty,” in 1789.This story tries to piece togethervarious accounts of what happenedto the mutinous crew of the shipafter leaving Tahiti. Less powerfulthan Tros of Samothrace, it never-the less is forceful; and thoughsometimes blood-thirsty It seems jus¬tifiable in the light of the factsknown about the affair.Character delineation does notplay as important a part as in Tros,but adventure is certainly not lack¬ing.
