NORMAN THOMAS,NOTEO SOCIALIST,TO SPEAK SONOAYTemple Sholom to PresentAfternoon Serviceat ChapelNorman Thomas, considered bymany as one of the most pi'ominentsocial pioneers of this generation, willspeak in the Chapel on Sunday at 11.Head of the League for IndustrialDemocracy, Mr. Thomas began hi.scareer after graduation from Prince¬ton and the Union Theological Sem¬inary. He became a Socialist candi¬date for mayor of New York in 1920and al.so for the president of the Unit-e»l States.Through his numerous books, mag¬azine articles, and lecture tours, Nor¬man Thomas is known throughout theland. His most lecent l)ook. “HumanExploitation,’’ in a front page reviewby The New York Times of Decem¬ber 0, is described in Thomas’s ownwords as an attempt, “not so much togive a picture of exploited America,as to make test borings of its variousstrata.’’The Times .says further: “By thetime Mr. Thomas has finished, hisborings have contrived to exhibit theoverwhelming mass of the Americanpopulations as not only exploited butas bound apparently, to remain solong as capitalism continues to dom¬inate the economic and social order.”The great quality exemplified in thework of Norman Thomas is that heis not merely critical of the Americanscene but also one of the most con¬structive persons among us.The regular vesper service at 4 willbe given by the Temple Sholom choir,directed by Lawrence Goldbei'g withSol Heller as cantor. The movement to withdraw fromthe Union was led by Georg Mann, amembe.r of the executive committee.The action is in compliance with thepolicy of the Student League for In¬dustrial Democracy, a national affili¬ate of the Socialist club, that thereshall be no connection between itsmember organizations and the Ameri-,can League against Fascism and War. |The American league is the national'body affiliated with the SUAFW on jcampus.Will Cooperate |Although officially withdrawingfrom the Student union, the mem¬bers of the Socialist club resolved tocooperate in the program of theSUAFW whenever possible. The anti¬affiliation iK)licy is a result of thecharge by the Student I.«ague for In¬dustrial Democracy that the Amer¬ican league is undemocratic and un- j(ler Communist domination. |Tickets for the munitions investiga¬tion play, to be presented by the Cos- |inos club Thursday evening, February j28, in Mandel hall, will be placed on Isale on campus early next week, ac- icording to an announcement yester- ^(lay by H.

Change TraditionalDate of Law SchoolBanquet to SpringA definite po.stponement of the an¬nual Law school banquet, traditional¬ly held in the winter quarter, untilsometime in the spring was announcedyesterday by Edwin P. Davis, secre¬tary of the Law school Bar associa¬tion. The (late of the banquet willprobably be announced around thefirst week of March.The action was taken by the Bara.ssociation officials in order that thework in preparation for the affairwould not conflict with the examina¬tion period beginning March 11. Dueto the length of the play which willbe presented satirizing the facultyand the size of the cast required, itwas felt that it would work too greata hardship on the students participat¬ing to go ahead with the formerplans.Davis also announced that the ban¬quet will be held at Internationalhouse, in order to take advantage ofthe large seating capacity and stagefacilities available there. An enter¬taining program is being planned inanticipation of a large alumni turn¬out. Donald Rogers, senior in the Lawschool, will act as toastmaster forthe affair. Harry A. Bigelow, dean ofthe Law school, will introduce theprincipal speaker of the evening, tobe announced later.

This total falls sixshort of last year’s record of 187men pledged, but exceeds by seventhe number taken two years ago inthe first year of deferred rushingWarner L. ' P^^dged.Phi Kappa Psi with 24 men hasthe largest class, ind the Phi DeltaTheta and Psi Upsilon groups of 17each, are second largest. Alpha Del¬ta Phi and Chi Psi each received 13pledges. Phi Sigma Delta and ZetaBeta Tau took 12 men.2 Did Not RushEvery house that submitted a listreceived at least one man, althoughfour fraternities pledged only one.Two Greek letter organizations oncampus did not engage in rushingand therefore did not submit anylists. In addition to two freshmanpledges, Beta Theta Pi yesterdayannounced the pledging of 10 soph¬omores, a dozen new men in all.The actual mechanics of pledgingculminated a week of intensive rush¬ing, during which each house enter¬tained freshman guests in three dif¬ferent periods daily, although no onefirst year man was allowed to visita house on more than one occa.siona day.2 Men Get No BidsBetween the hours of 9 and 12yesterday morning every freshmanwho wanted to join a fraternity reg¬istered his first and second choiceswith the Interfraternity committeein Cobb hall, and the fraternitiessubmitted to the dean of studentsoffice a list of the men they werewilling to pledge. Two men indicat¬ed that they would like to take ahouse but received no bids.The 181 men pledged yesterdayconstitute 42 per cent of the 426men in the freshman class eligibleto take a fraternity. The size of theaverage pledge class is 8.3 members,an almost neglible increase overthe 8.2 average last year, but slight¬ly larger than the 7.6 average thefirst year of deferred rushine.This year no house that submitteda bid failed to receive a man, al¬though in each of the two previousyears, three fraternities did notpledge any men. The number of menpledged this year, as in the case ofthe other years of deferred rushing,falls considerably short of the 248men pledged in the fall of 1931.Social CommitteeAnnounces Patronsfor Washington PromForty-seven patrons and patroness¬es for the Washington prom were an¬nounced yesterday by the Student So¬cial committee.

And we wouldn’t blame him ifhe went back to Mars laughing pityingly at theworldlings.Certainly he would have been amazed at thespectacle in front of Cobb hall yesterday morn¬ing when leading fraternity men clustered aboutwatching rival groups with hateful eyes and pre¬tended to be “protecting’’ their sewed-up fresh¬men from “those dirty rushers.”If our visitor had the opportunity to minglewith fraternity men and freshmen during the weekhe would have been completely baffled aboutgroups which preach brotherhood and fair playand subscribe to lofty ideals, and which do ex¬actly the opposite to sink the other fellow.Undoubtedly our visitor would have been sur¬prised if he were told that the University is aneducational institution, that here we have the fin¬est collection of intellectual lights ever gatheredunder one tent. Yes, the man from Mars wouldhave enjoyed the rushing debacle.—H. P. H.THE LOSS OF ACADEMIC FREEDOM(Reprinted from The Minnesota Daily).Academic freedom, long vaunted as one of themost precious prerogatives of American schoolsand colleges, apparently is not as soundly en¬trenched as has been thought. Or it may be itis succumbing to the current passion for regiment¬ation, like so many other institutions of nationallife.Take the case of Ralph E. Turner, formerlyassociate professor of history at the University ofPittsburgh. He was also chairmaii of the Penn¬sylvania Security League, which lobbied in thestate legislature for an old-age pension and aminimum wage law. Apparently well-liked andable, his contract was renewed at the universityfor one year last May 9. On June 30, however,he was notified of his dismissal from the univer¬sity staff. Among the regents are Andrew W.Mellon and E. T. Weir of the Weirton Steel Com-pany- It may or may not be significant that theUniversity of Pittsburgh has $1,000,000 of its$1,650,000 expansion fund quota unfilled. It isa semi-public school.It is apparent that our vaunted academic free¬dom is still non-existent in many places. As ageneral rule, grade and high school teachers areiiotorious for their sterile and high-bound ortho¬doxy. and this may very often be ascribed to theattitude of local businessmen and the schoolboard, which is ordinarily composed of such men. It is significant, theietore, that the last con¬vention of the National Educational Association,the teachers’ organization, had as its most import-I ant agendum the question of academic freedomand tenure. Also significant is the action of theAmerican Civil Liberties union in issuing a pam¬phlet, “School Buildings as Public Forums,” crit¬icizing the withholding of the right of addressingpublic meetings in schools to speakers who do noti meet the approval of the school authorities. Wei need to consider the facts before we lapse too farI into national complacency.The Travelling BazaarBy RABELAISLOVE TRIUMPHANTA Little Play for You and MeBy Sam HairI SCENE I:A large, roomy library where an informal gath-i ering of the members of the Pi Soupson fraternity! is being held. The leader of the discussion is BillBroadbeam, a hulk of a fellow and, regrettably,rather a lame-brain. He speaks from where heI stands before the fireplace. The other membersare variously sprawled about the room on couchesand leather chairs. The room is filled with smoke.Above the fireplace is an immense yellow bannerwith a perched bird in the middle of it. Full-length oil portraits of Don Juan and Casanovawith class years under them on brass plates lookdown from prominent spots on the wall.Broadbeam: (Ominously) Wal—I guess may¬be you don’t know why w’e’re here. I know’ I don’tlike to discuss the matter before us, but, w’ell—boys—we’ve got a slacker among us!(An indignant murmur from the leather chairs:“No!” “Who?” “Well, that’s a fine thing!”)Yas, and here we’ve spent a lot of time and effortto build up this chapter in the fine organizationthat it is. And here I find we have a blot on ourescutheon! When one of us hasn’t got the initi¬ative or the responsibility to live up to a solemnobligation, it’s a fine state of affairs! It—it’scriminal! Yas, I’m talking to you Jim Zippers!(All turn and look at the discomfited JamesZippers, who avoids their glances and squirms inhis chair.)Well?—Zippers: Aw—uh—shucks fellas—I’m tryingto do my part, but—well I just can’t seem towork up any enthusiasm.Voice: (From one of the chairs) Well, he’ssimply got to, that’s all. They’re betting fiveto one we cant’ hang all our pins, see? We’re ina spot.' (The others get up and crowd around Zippers’chair saying, “Hell, yes!” “What the hell!”)Broadbeam: (Crowding closer) Now look—we’ve got everything fixed up. You got a datewith Mary Mimms tonight, see, and you’re tak¬ing her out! Now you know what you haveto do, so you better get going!(A chorus of “That’s the stuff!” “Clear thisthing up tonight!”Zippers: But not tonight. I’ve gotta study.(His protests are shouted down by the others.)(CURTAIN) iSCENE II:The front seat of an automobile parked undera bridge, Jim Zippers is behind the wheel, and ,Mary Mimms, a sweet, personable young thing,although withal rather wide-eyed and innocent,is beside him. The radio in the car is playng“I’d Like to Dunk You In My Coffee.” The airis thick w’ith romance.Mary: Jim, you’re so strange tonight. Aren’tyou enjoying yourself?Zippers: (Hoarsely) Mary, you know I am—being out with you and all.Mary: It was nice—the movie—wasn’t it Jim? IZippers: Yeah—swell.Mary: I like movies like that—love, I mean—don’t you Jim?Zippers: Uh-huh. iMary: I like going out with you, Jim. You’reso forceful.Zippers: What? jMary: So forceful. Just like that man in themovie. I liked him! IZippers: Yeah, He was good.Mary: He was like you. I like you, Jim. iZippers: Do you Mary?Mary: Yes, Jim. !Zippers: (Coming around) I think you’re swdltoo, Mary.Mary: Oh Jim! You’re grand!Zippers: (Looking over at her) Oh, Mary!Tell me you love me! :The Radio: SQUAAARK!

All Ican say is that in regard to highereducation and in intellectual devel¬opment she has still a long way to go. .One of the ways to remedy the sit¬uation, it seems to me, is to utilizeintelligently the materials of thebest books and magazines publishedor being published in the UnitedStates and England. But to pur¬chase or subscribe for the innum¬erable books and magazines publish¬ed in these two foremost English-speaking countries would obviouslybe beyond my financial ability. Evenif I could, the rate of exchange andthe government restrictions on theshipment of money to foreign coun¬ tries would naturally frustrate anyattempt on such a large scale. All Ican do is, therefore, solicit all thepresent! students, ex-students, andthe faculty members of the Univer¬sity of Chicago or other universitiesand colleges to send to the above ad¬dress such books and magazineswhich they do not deem necessaryto keep after perusing them. Iam sure not only I but all the stu¬dents who will participate in thisproposition will greatly and sincerelyappreciate the kindnesses and gener¬osities of those who will render ussuch a help.In the meantime let me hasten toj say that the fulfillment of such aservice is and must be entirely op-I tional. Only the help of those is de-I sired who are convinced that such aI procedure will assist a group of Per-j sian intelligentia. On our part wei have thought it advisable to defrayj all the postal expenses in any wayI desired. It would be advisable, there-!fore, to ask from those who are in¬terested to participate in such an' endeavor to write to the above-ad- ij dress and indicate in which waythey would like to be refunded pos-1tal expresses—, for example, wheth-1riNIVERSITYlIL NIGHT 1EVERY^ FRIDAYa WITH THEGOLD-eOASTERSCHICAGO'SOWN ORCHESTRAAND ASNAPPYCOLLEGEPROGRAMUnder Direction ryfNoble and Donnellywith.

Both teams hadperfected a system of hip slingingaad body checking that made it im-pdssible for players to go in for setups, 80 all points were made on spec-acular long shots and free throws.Krause of Phi Sig was high pointman with two field goals and a freethrow, and Whitney of Phi Delt wasunquestionably ahead of the field inblocking.Hoffer’s Reds WinHoffer’s Reds continue*! their spec-i.nular winning streak as theywampe*! the Theologians 29-15..

Hoy play-^ d a fast, clever game and was thene factor that kept Burton in therunning. Letts of Judson led the scor¬ing with .seven iroints and his size was :a big help in keeping Burton in check. \.Ml but four of Amalgamated’s points\^ere scored on free throws. Theywere able to sink all but a couple oft-Mft .shots. Hoy was the only Burtonman able to sink shots from the floor. Chicago’s rapidly improving poloteam faces a crucial test of its pow¬er when it meets Culver Academ'ySaturday night at the Chicago Rid¬ing club. Culver has already takenone game from the Maroons thisyear.Since then, however, Chicago hasdefeated Detroit and Ohio State. TheMaroons, being an entirely newteam this season, have experienced.some difficulty in working together.They seemed to click for the firsttime in the Ohio game and if theyshow the .same amount of team playSaturday they may score an upset.Lloyd Powers and John Bodfish,both sophomores, have been main¬stays of the team thus far. GeorgeBenjamin has recently shown hisability to fit into the combination andthese three will get the starting callSaturday.Culver has a well trained, wellmounted team, and their numberthree man, Voorhees, created a sen¬sation with his play here earlier inthe year. Ellison and Fullerton bothfast players, complete the Culvertrio.Courtesy tickets for all this sea¬son’s games may be had at the Ma¬roon office.

Chapman and Schoon¬maker .still have their game to playbefore the semi-finals winner list iscomi)lete.In fraternity competition, Kauf¬man and Goldberg of Phi Sigma Del¬ta have leached the semi-finals andMelnick or Wolf of Phi B. D. willenter the semi-finals when theirmatch has been played. In doubles !play Goldberg and Siegal of PhiSigma Delta meet a Phi Psi teamcomposed of Meigs and Boehm. Al¬brecht and Frankel of the Phi Deltsalso face Kaufman and Wolf of PhiSig in the semi-finals. Five Maroon teams, including thej fencers, swimming team, the trackI squad, the polo team, and the wrest-! lers, face major opponents in meetsI over the weekend. The fencers, trackj squad, and the swimmers have meetsj on campus, the polo team at the Rid¬ing Club, while the wrestlers afterreturning from their eastern tourwill meet Wisconsin at Madison.I The Boilermaker track squad,I meeting the Maroons Saturday after¬noon in the field house, is conced-i ed a good chance of upsetting Chi-j cage’s 23 year string of victories. The! Purdue team threatened a defeat for! the Maroons in 1932, but the Chi-I cago thinclads nosed them out by aI one point margin.Close individual races will featurethe Maroon-Iowa swimming meetI with Charles Wilson meeting Jacobs-meyer of Iowa, who was an All-i American selection last year. Thefencers face the Purdue squad intheir fourth conference meet thisseason, with a slight advantage. Ma¬roon swordsmen have accumulatedthree wins in their three previousmeets.Still seeking their first confer¬ence win, the wrestling squad jour¬neys to Wisconsin on Saturday tomeet the Gopher squad, and the poloteam takes on Culver.The cage squad is resting after ahard month’s schedule, and, whilestill without a conference victory,pos.sess the Big Ten high point man,Haarlow, with 112 points.HAARLOW STRIVES TOTOP MAROON RECORDS30c LUNCHEON40 and 50 cent DinnersSwidler's RestaurantKOSHER1168 E. 55Hi St. If Bill Haarlow holds his lead inthe Big Ten scoring race, he willbe the first Maroon to top the Con¬ference scoring since 1919, whenWilliam “Moose” Gorgas was highscorer with 106 points.Haarlow has various Chicago“highs” to shoot at, and has a goodchance to beat them all. Back in1920, Clarence Vollmer scored 60baskets during the season. Haarlowhas scored 40 in nine games so far,and has a good chance to exceed50 in three more games.

In reference to the footballleague, the question has recentlycome up in the case of Fritz Pol¬lard, Jr. the son of the famous ne¬gro star of Brown, who has droppedout of school because of scholasticdifficulties.One of the local teams was saidto have approached Pollard, a starat Senn high school of Chicago, andoffered him a professional grid jobnext fall. The boss of the team de¬nied the offer and reiterated theleague rule, making owners wait un¬til at least four years from the timethe boy enters college to offer hima contract. But as we have said theprofessional baseball leagues are notso particular as to acquiring youngmaterial.* * *Rabbit’s feet, and other good luckcharms have been used for years, butEddie Rolen, Michigan State basket¬ball forward takes the prize for theunique good lueje piece. All throughhigh school Rolen carried a bedcaster, roller to you, to each gamehe played and checked it at thebench. Now he is still carrying thesame bed caster and hands it to theSpartan manager to hold for himduring the game.

Thevictory, over Franklin and Marshall,always one of the strongest teams inthe East, has been the hrst Maroonwin over the Lancaster team ontheir own mat since the Maroons and F. and M. started hostilities manyyears ago. And the closeness of theirlast two losses, by single bouts, 17to 11 against Harvard and 17 to 13against Yale did not necessarily In¬dicate any overwhelming strengrth bytwo-thirds of the Big Three.CLASSIFIED ADSLOST—Pair of gold rimmedglasses on 59th Street or in HarperLibrary.

Synge, the pa¬thetic story of the widow, Maurya,who loses all her men to the ravagesof the sea, the audience really feelsher hopeless realization of cruel fate.Eileen Crowe, as Maurya, is superb.Her voice, even her walk, would leadmost people to believe that she wasa tottering lady of 70.“PLAYBOY OF THEWESTERN WORLD”Entirely different in mood andtempo is Synge’s comedy, “Playboyof the Western World.” Based on aperfectly ridiculous story of apsuedo-bad man made a hero, it isreally a fitting satire on our mod¬ern civilization. The action if it werein a present-day setting, would beside-splitting; even as it is, it is high¬ly humorous.

THE CARE AND FEEDINGOF HOSESo much has been said lately aboutthe size of the item “hose” on a col¬lege girl’s budget, that for once wethought we would take the time tofind out the whys and wherefores asto stockings wearing and not wearing,and their tendency to run on any andevery occasion. One buyer says it isall in the fit, another that it is inthe care, but they all agree that qual¬ity is the important thing.One store ih the loop, has a hosierycounter which never varies. Sales maycome and sales may go, but if you once bought a pair of hose there fora certain price, at a certain weight,you can duplicate it six months lat¬er, allowing for a small margin asregards changing styles in the dif¬ferent shades, and any increase as re¬gards cost of production. For peoplewho are foresighted and believe inbuying hose in half dozen or dozenpairs this is not perhaps so important.But if you have ever been downtownat the last minute and wished to dup¬licate a pair of hose w'hich have wornparticularly well, or in a shade youlike, there is a lot to be said for theconvenience.There is a quality of hose whichthey recommend and which wear well.They are eighty-five cents a pair, andwith proper care are long lived. Theyare reinforced in heel and toe, andyet sheer enough to satisfy the mostparticular.If you have trouble with the heelsof your hose, it may be the fit, either too long or too short, it may be thequality, or it may be the care. If itis the fit, take the time to find outreally what size is best for you, ifit is the quality, change it, and’ asfor care, a little parafin rubbed onthe inside of the heel goes a long wavtowards preserving it.It is in the sheer hose for after¬noon and evening that the fun begins.You cannot expect these to wear anygreat number of times, they are tO(delicate, and were not brought fortheir wearing qualities, but for theirbeauty.Woodlawn Cafeteria1165 East 63rd StreetSECOND FLOOR“You can attend the Washing¬ton Prom with the money yousave eating the Publix way.”Beta Theta Pi announces thepledging of Winston Ashley, Black-well, Okla.; George Burke, Chicago;Gene Davis, Chicago; Robert Lawra-son, St. Paul, Minn.; Lambert Ma¬guire, Chicago; Ralph Niemeyer,Quincy, Ill.; Thomas Stauffer, Chi¬cago; Earl Stephenson, St. JamesCt., London, Ont.; James Walters,Chicago; Joseph Witherspoon, Wit-chita Falls, Tex,Sigma Chi announces the pledgingof John Lundy of Chicago.Tau Delta Phi announces thepledging of Homer Rosenberg, Jos¬eph Einstein, Leonard Hoffman, Eu¬gene Schofller, and Arnold Schwartz,all of Chicago. lotels Windermereinvite you for any party, of any size.No matter what the occasion, hereyou will find everything you need forperfect enjoyment.
