Fire!" Vaulting hisdesk after first ringing the bell forsundry attendants and janitors, theeminent exponent of the gentle artof oratory sped with the utmost of.speed to the north lobby of the club.The sizeable crowd of listeners fol¬lowed.Straight to the corner sped Mr.Nelson, where he found Betsy, thelong-necked vacuum cleaner, vomit¬ing smoke from her ample bosom.Hesitating not a moment, he grabbedher by the neck, and choking herwith all of his strength, dragged herto the stone fireplace beneath theclock.-At this moment Gabe, the well-known Mandel hall janitor appearedon the scene. Summoning all of hiscourage amidst the applause of thefast growing crowd of admiringwatchers, Mr. Nelson tore the smold¬ering dirt bag from Betsy’s angularneck, and with the greatest of easethrust it into the waiting arms ofGabe.It was the opinion of all presentthat Mr. Nelson indeed deserves theCroix de Guerre and a kiss on eachcheek for bravery under fire.ANNOUNCE SHOWINGOF 4 NEW FOREIGNFILMS IN FEBRUARY SET JANUARY 26 Ofamatic Association PresentsAS DEADLINE FDR first of Three PerformancesWINTER CDMMENT of Robertson’s ‘Caste’ TonightENIX MEETINGng of the editorial staffloenix has been calledtemoon at 3:30 in Lex.1 by the editor-in-chief,orrison.

Temple pointed out themy.stic in Judaism, as etepre.s.sed in.Mr. Asch’s book, to the members ofthe Avukah yesterday.Dr. Liebman first introduced tohis audience the background thathe felt was nece.ssary in order tounderstand the spirit of "Salvation”by vivic’.ly describing the crushedJews of the 13th century as "livingas sponges," who were squeezed outby the lords. He told the stcry ofthe small Jewish boy who lived inPoland at the timo of this greatdepre.ssion. This bov. who did notlike the Talmud and who loved Godnot through ()ook.s or prayer, butthrough a feeling of God, grew intoa sincere though humble rabbi. Allhis life the boy and then the rabbiexperierced my.stic relationships withGod, who "is to be found when manlaughs, and washed away when mancries.”Dr. Liebman told his li.stenersthat when he had finished this bookhe "realized more and more how-provincial, how narrowly provincial,we are in this modern world."

Mem¬bers of the Sociology, History, andPolitical Science clubs, sponsors ofthe lecture, are invited to attend.,Mr. Harper, who returned last fall ,from a visit to the U. S. S. R., is jplanning to cite the changes in the |development of the Soviet system jsince a previous visit in 1932. He jwill discuss the various economic |problems, including tho.sie of eco-1nomic differentiation, and the de- jfects in the Russian .sy.stem of dis¬tribution.

With the formal rushing periodat the University only two weeksaway comes the announcement bythe Big Ten News service of theabolition of the present deferredrushing system and reversion to thefall quarter rushing by the Univer¬sity of Minnesota.This unanimous decision of theirinterfraternity council came closeupon the heels of one of the mostdi.sastrous rushing sea.sons in thehistory of the university. Action wastaken following the conclusion offormal rushing last week, in which269 men w'ere pledged to 29 fra¬ternities—a record low.Minnesota DormitoriesFrequent violation of the rushingrules, and the fact that Pioneer hall,men’s dormitory, took aw'ay a largenumber of men who might other¬wise move into fraternity houses atthe stait of the school year weregiven as two reasons for the aban¬donment of the present system.A similar plan of deferred rush¬ing and pledging was inaugurated atthe University threo years ago as aresult of the joint decisions of theInterfraternity council and the Uni¬versity officials. The University Sen¬ate ordered the deferred pledging plan based on the beliefs that fra¬ternity life during the freshmenyear spoiled complete study plans,and led to unsettlement. It was be¬lieved that the fraternity atmospherein general was not conducive to theoutput of a good freshmen class.With this announcement placed intheir hands, the Interfraternitycouncil of 1932 limited the rushingseason to the week before the pledg¬ing period with several exceptions.This decision was made to curtail thefinancial expenditures of the fra¬ternities for rushing purposes duringthe remainder of the year.The result of the defei-red rushing-pledging plan was the erection ofBurton and Judsen men’s dormi¬tories. j "Caste” by Thomas Robertson, theI revival play of the Dramatic associa-: tion, will be pre.sented in the firstj of its three successive evening per-I formances tonight at 8:30 in theI Reynolds club theater.

When theplay was brought to this country lat¬er in the same year, it created asensation among its New York fol¬lowers because of the revolutionarytreatment of a new sort of subject.Following the custom used ever; since Frank Hurburt O’Hara, direc¬tor of Dramatic Productions, andNapier Wilt, assistant professor of, English, initiated revivals by thei Dramatic association, the play willI be presented as much as possibleI along the lines of the original pro-i duction.I Introductory RemarksNapier Wilt will introduce theplay before the cui*tain rises on theopening scene tonight, while JamesWeber Linn and Percy H.

Letters tothe EditorThursday, January 24, 1935 STUDENTS FOR PEACEPlans for the student symposium on peacejointly sponsored by the Student Union AgainstWar and Fascism and 1 he Daily Maroon are pro¬ceeding rapidly. A diversified group turned outfor the first organization meeting Monday andprepared to interest other organizations in theproject.The point that must be emphasized is that thesymposium is not for the small groups that nor¬mally hold discussions on politcal questions northe antithesis of them, the local “society,” but forthe larger class, the great mass of students whoattend classes and participate only infrequently inactivities.Those organizations which have neglected thus j merit was mailed tofar to make arrangements to be represented should |act immediately or they will be left out in the jcold. Fraternities and clubs might be interested jto know that several of these organizations al¬ready are planning to take part. It is impera¬tive that the others see that their groups fall inline, too.Every day we will publish in The Daily Ma¬roon the names of the organizations and repre¬sentatives who are planning to work on the sym¬posium. We hope to see your group in thatlist.—H. P. H.

Rogers(This is the second part of the article that ap¬peared in these columns yesterday.)If the history of American-Canadian relationsprovides us with warnings it affords also a basisfor confidence in our ability to co-operate for ourcommon good. In our political relationships theInternational Joint Commission has provided amodel of successful co-operation in the settle¬ment of boundary disputes. Other differences havebeen referred to arbitration with lasting advan¬tage to the cause of international goodwill. TheUnited States was the country to which Canadasent its first diplomatic representative. The pres¬ent Under-Secretary of State, Hon. William Phil¬lips, was the first Minister sent to Ottawa by aforeign government. We have learned to live inpeace and friendship, and in mutual respect. Theboundary which separates us is unguarded. Thearea of our common and interlocking interests isexpanding year by year.What is needed above all else to restore thehealth of the world to-day is that nations shouldbe born again in the convicition that their eco¬nomic and political salvation lies in the reconcilia¬tion of national policies with the elementary impli¬cations of an international society. We must re¬new in our own experience the moral and prac¬tical values which are involved in the recognitionof neighborhood and inter-dependence.It is conceded on all sides that a larger meas¬ure of trade between the United States and Can¬ada is possible and desirable. The British Em¬pire trade agreements may restrict the range ofreciprocity to which Canada may agree at thepresent time but they do not preclude successfulnegotiations for a treaty which may assume moregenerous dimensions at a later date. The adjust¬ment of the tariff schedules is a task for com¬mercial experts.The important consideration just now is the at¬titude towards these neogtiations which shall betaken by the peoples and governments of theUnited States and Canada. A favourable attitudein both countries will be grounded in the beliefthat a trade treaty will be mutually advantageous.But the calculus of national advantage or even ofmutual advantage must not be restricted to amathematical appraisal of the increased tradewhich will flow across the international boundaryunder the provisions of a proposed treaty.The world to-day stands desperately in need- ofleadership in its effort to escape from the tribula¬tions which have followed the excesses of eco¬nomic nationalism.

Robert¬son, whose play “Caste” is to be re¬vived tonight by the Dramatic Asso¬ciation leads, at least in a temporalsense, the modern school of Englishrealistic dramatists. His was the Urstattempt at creating decent and life-life comedy since the death of Sher¬idan some fifty years before his firstplay was produced.His quiet pictures of English life,which earned for his style the sou¬briquet of “cup antj saucer” dramawere a startling innovation on thestage of his time. The theaters ofthe nineteenth century, havinggrown rapidly in seating capacity,had forced upon the dramatic art abombastic and stereotyped style de¬pendent on elaborate scenery andmechanical devices, now termed themelodramatic or burlesque, to whichhis comparative naturalness seemedrevolutionary.Leading Playwrightof His TimeIt was fortunate that Robertson’sworks were refused by these largerhouses and thus were played in thePrince of Wales theater, a small,more or less community playhouse,suitable to his type of play.Though Robertson was acknowl¬edged the leading playwright of hisday and the most sought after andpopular wit of the London clubs, hisorigin was as humble as any of hisworking class characters, being oneof the twenty-three children of apoor, mediocre actor.Starts Career withConventional PlayRobertson’s literary career com¬menced with the writing of “DavidGarrick” in 1850. This rather con¬ventional work was taken from aFrench play based on a Germanstory of that famous English actor.After perfecting his style in “So¬ciety” and “Ours” his first out¬standing play “Caste” was present-ted in 1867 and enjoyed a continu¬ous run of over six hundred nights.Though enjoying only moderatepopularity, “Caste” kept the stageuntil 1876 and was last revived in New PolicyCOLLEGE NIGHTin theJoseph Urban RoomStudents may obtaincourtesy cards at the DailyMaroon office which re-duces the minimum charge bt:on Friday nights 50$1.50 per couple. toJosep Cherniavsky and hisorchestra features ‘‘BoweryNight ” this Friday.Congress Hoteland AnnexShirts..Special sale of Arrow andKingley Tab ShirtsANNUAL DANCEThe Jewish Student Foundationat theUniversity ot ChicagoThe Standard ClubJan. 27, 1935 InformalBIDS $1.50 Live in Home-LikeQuartersWe specialize in attractiverooms for faculty members and studentsat the U. of C.Individual rooms or suiteswith or without bath.Ideally arranged for quietand study.Prices to suit your purse.Rates $2.50 to $12.00 per week.TheHarvard Hotel5714 Blackstone AvenuePhone Hyde Park 2780Miss Grayce Naismith,Mgr.

MAROONS BOLSTERDEFENSE FOR GAMEWITH NOTRE DAMEIn preparation for the tussle withNotre Dame Saturday night at South ■Bend, the Maroon cagers have been ■working hard in an effort to form¬ulate a defense to stop the Irishsharpshooters.Fresh disaster came to the teamyesterday with the discovery thatDick Dorsey had a toe infection, and ;his appearance in the game will bedoubtful. If he is not in conditionto play, Stan Kaplan will probablyget the call, as he is one of the bestball handlers on the squad, althoughnot a particularly good shot.Tighten DefenseThe Maroon defense has been veryragged in the past, and if they areto stand any sort of chance againstthe Irish they must tighten it up.They 'use a straight man-for-mandefense, but at times in the Min¬nesota and Ohio games it was mis- .taken for a zone-defense because of 'the failure of the players to watch jtheir men. Offense, too, has had itsshare of work this week, especially Iin the matter of team cooperation. ;The latest Conference scoringtable gives Bill Haarlow a tie forsecond place, because of his 22 pointsagainst Minnesota and nine at theBuckeyes’ expense. Barko still leadswith 55 points. Bill is tied with Pre-boski of Wisconsin for second with49, Froschauer of Illinois has 44, andNorman of the Gophers 41.Rutgers university (New Bruns¬wick, N.

Sec¬tional teams werealso selected bythe 1,540 intercol¬legiate player’s rating.The system of choosing playerswas originated by Norman L. Sper,World War correspondent, andworks in this manner. Players werefirst rated on the fundamentals ofthe game by men whom they had op¬posed. Then, the total number ofreturns from players on opposingteams was tabulated against the num¬ber of times the particular playerwas chosen. Thus, the judges had acomposite percentage on which tobase their final selections.Sectional TeamJay Bei wanger and Patterson werenamed on the Mid-West sectionalteam, but in the final judging Ber-wanger was given a berth on thesecond team. Other Liberty All-American selections include Lund,Minnesota; Dixie Howell, Alabama; Hamilton, Stanford; and Ed God¬dard, W’ashington State. The lineselections were Moscrip, Stanford;Lee, Alabama; Bevan, Minnesota;Hartwig, Pittsburgh; Steen, Syra¬cuse; Hutson, Alabama; and Pat¬terson.The fight of the center po.sition I was especially hot with Patterson.I Shotwell, Pittsburgh; and Simering.San Francisco; as the high men.
