Price 3 Cents Member United PressGreat BritainTakes Lead inNaval ParleyKesume Negotiations AfterRecess and Withdrawalof ItalyLONDON, Jan. 29—(UP)—GreatHntain took the lead at the crippledNaval Conference today and was(juickly joined by France, Italy andThe United States in an effort to sal¬vage something from the negotiations,hamstrung by withdrawal of Japanon January 15.The conference, convened in thehope of accomplishing naval arma¬ment reduction or limitation, hadbeen in recess two weeks out of re¬spect for King George.It entered a new and possibly final>tage today when Britain presented adetailed program limiting the size ofeach type warship and gun caliber.The four powers were expected to de¬vote several weeks to negotiating atreaty along the lines of the Britishplan for ciualitative reduction—includ¬ing an agreement for annual notifica¬tion by each power of its building pro¬gram.I.oopholeg CertainSuch a treaty, however, would meanlittle. It would be certain to containan •Kscape Clause” permitting signa¬tories to disregard its provisions ifJapan or any other major power wenton a naval building spree.Negotiations for even this kind ofa treaty, however, may strike a snagin spite of prompt approval in prin¬ciple of the British plan today. TheUnitc‘d States, for example, prefersHi-inch guns for battleships instead of14-inch rifles proposed by Britain, and.America is reluctant to forego con¬struction of as many 10,000-ton cruis¬ers armed with eight-inch guns asmay be deemed necessary. In this lat¬ter class, the British plan calls forlimitation to 7,500 to 8,000 tons ofti.l inch caliber.Davis Makes ProposalWhen the British plan was pre¬sented, the other four powers immedi¬ately announced acceptance of thesuggestions as a basis for negotiation.Norman Davis, chief U. S. delegate,made the additional proposal on be¬half of his country that the life ofbattleships be extended from 20 to2d years. Davis empha.sized that theview of the United States delegationhad changed because of Japan’s with¬drawal and recalled that formerly theUnited States had consistently de¬manded reduction in the number ofwar.shijjs rather than in size.Roosevelt GivesCongress Task ofMeeting BonusWASHINGTON, Jan. 29—(UP)—President Roosevelt tonight shiftedto Congress the responsibility for find¬ing $2,249,178,375 to pay the soldierbonus which it approved over his veto.The compromise bonus bill enacted.Monday did not provide methods ofraising the huge cash outlay. Con¬gressional leaders promptly said thiswas a problem for the treasury toworry about.Tonight, Mr. Roosevelt wroteSpeaker of the House Joseph W.Byrns indicating he thought it wasa task for Congress to assume. Copiesof the letter were not made publicand tonight Congressional leaderswere confused.Byrns will not receive the letteruntil tomorrow and until then with¬held comment. The White House•statement did not indicate whetherMr. Roosevelt had specifically indicat¬ed that he wanted new taxes to ob¬tain the bonus money. In absence ofthis information, it was impossible totell what the next move in the situa¬tion would be.Speaker Byrns has two coursesopen:He may refer the communication tothe appropriations committee to seeka bonus grant.He may refer it to the Ways andMeans committee where tax legisla¬tion originates.Chairman Robert Doughton, (D., N.C.), of the House Ways and Meanscommittee, said his group had noplans to consider additional taxationat this session.

First included were the prin¬cipal producing and refining nationsbelonging to the League—Russia,Roumania, Iraq, Iran, the Nether¬lands, Venezuela, Mexico and prob¬ably Argentina; then followed theprincipal transporters of oil — GreatBritain, France and Norway, plusSweden, which produces muchsynthetic alcohol fuel for automobiles.The committee will study thesources from which Italy might obtainoil in the event of sanctions and howoil supplies are transported, with av»ew to ascertaining if an oil embargocould be made effective.Ask Removal ofHenry WallaceSecretary Plans Recaptureof Millions in ProcessingTaxesWASHINGTON, Jan. 29—(UP) —The New Deal revealed today thatplans are under way to recapture the$200,000,000 in processing taxesawarded to the taxpayers by theSupreme Court, while from Republi¬cans came a suggestion for impeach¬ment of Secretary Henry A, Wallace.Yesterday Wallace denounced theSupreme Court’s processing tax orderas "The greatest legalized steal inAmerican history.” Today Represen¬tative Allen T. Treadway, influentialMas.sachu.setts Republican, waved anewspaper clipping of Wallace’s re¬marks as he told the Hou.se the Agri¬culture Secretary should be im¬peached.The political thunderbolts thatcracked about the farm program dis¬tracted attention from the fact thatearlier in the day the Senate Agri¬culture committee approved, 14 to 2,the Bankhead-Jones bill to regulatefarm production through soil conser¬vation. No major changes were madein the bill.Treadway’s attack came just beforeWallace’s scheduled press conference.The secretary smiled when told of it.“Is he a member of the righthouse?” Wallace inquired. Twistingaround in his chair and reaching fora shelf of books, he added: “Let’ssee what the Constitution says aboutimpeachment. I thought the Senatehad to do the impeaching.”He was informed that impeachmentproceedings must originate in theHouse and that the Senate, presidedover by the Chief Justice, tried theofficial.“Well,” drawled Wallace, still smil¬ing, “I am in danger.”Referring to his attack on the court,a questioner asked him if there wasany way of recovering the $200,000,-000.“There are many ways of recaptur¬ing it,” Wallace replied. “I don’t thinkI can say anything about it now.Three departments are working on it.”Calmly and deliberately he repeatedthat the Supreme Court order was“the most gigantic steal in history.”The secretary contends that the pro¬cessing taxes were collected from con¬sumers—“all the people”—and now bycourt order go back to one group—the processors.THE ABCs(Contributions to The ABCswill be accepted bit the editor.)AMERICAN BUSINESS***In Germany the handling of bus¬iness relies on the suppression of thepeople.

Opera GroupGives PremierePresent Gluck’s “Iphigeniain Tauris” for First Timein AmericaFor its third annual production theUniversity Opera association will pre¬sent Gluck’s heroic tragedy “Iphigeniain Tauris”, with Cecil Michener Smithconducting the performance and Mar¬ion Van Tuyl directing the dances.The opera which will be sung in Eng¬lish will make its premiere appearancein the United States at Mandel hall,Friday and Saturday, February 7and 8.The cast includes Mary Ann Kauf¬man as Iphigenia, Paul Pence asOrestes, her brother, Robert Long asPylades, Earle Wilke as Thoas, kingof Scythia, Alice Mary Baenziger asDiana, Dorothy Hartshorne, a Greekwoman, and Paul Hume, a Scythian.Less stylized than former perfor¬mances at the University the inten¬tion of the production is to captureand express in the simplest terms themingled Greek, barbarian, and eigh¬teenth century elements of the libretto.“Iphigenia in Tauris” is a sequel toGluck’s earlier work, “Iphigenia inAul is” which was given in Philadel¬phia last year.“Iphigenia in Aulis” tells the storyof the delay of Agamemnon’s ships ontheir way to Troy and the intendedsacrifice of Iphigenia who is saved atthe last moment by Diana and carriedoff to the mythical isle of Tauris toserve as her priestess. In Tauris thestory resumes fifteen years later,where as Diana’s aid it is Iphigenia’sduty to see that all strangers visitingthe island are sacrificed to the w’rathof the gods. The young priestess at¬tempts to kill herself when she isforced to carry on her morbid dutywith two Greek youths who are ship¬wrecked on the island, but Diana ap¬pears and stops the sacrifice. Debaters Arrangefor Discussion ofPolitical IssuesI Disband SVC ^cnLibrary Acquires Bulky GovernmentalRecords from States and CountiesFifteen tons of data on state, coun¬ty and local governments of theUnited States have been added to theUniversity’s collection of researchdocuments as the result of one of themost extensive collecting tours everundertaken by any American library.James G. Hodgson of the Univer¬sity’s library staff has just returnedfrom a 17-month, 35,000-mile collect¬ing expedition in which he visitedmore than 300 localities in the 48states and in 6 Canadian provinces.Journals of state legislatures, pro¬ceedings of state constitutional con¬ventions, proceedings of city councilsand county boards, annual reports ofstate executive departments, of policedepartments, park systems and schoolsystems, are among the items col¬lected.Partly as the result of Mr. Hodg¬son’s efforts the University within amonth will possess complete, unbrokenrecords of the session laws of thelegislatures of all 48 states. In thecase of Massachusetts these go backto 1661. When Mr. Hodgson set outsessions. Through his tour andthrough correspondence 600 weresecured.

Current asw'ell as historical publications wereobtained, and in many cases the Uni¬versity has been given a subscriptionto serial publications. In one NewEngland community, for example, Mr.Hodgson secured all official publica¬tions back to 1640. Most of the ma¬terial was obtained without charge tothe University.The effort has been to secure re¬search materials necessary to studentsand scholars of political science, pub¬lic administration, sociology, history,public welfare work, geography andeducation.Settlement BoardPlans Drive forMore VolunteersJerome G. Kerwin, associate Pro¬fessor of Political Science, John P.Barden, ex-editor of the Daily Ma¬roon, and assistant in the Publicityoffice, and Ralph Nicholson, editor ofThe Daily Maroon, have been namedto a committee to aid the cabinet ofthe Debate union in selecting speakersfor a public discussion of national po¬litical issues, which is being spon-sered by the Debate union. Mr. Ker¬win is the chairman.The date for the discussion has notbeen set definitely as yet, dependingas it does on the convenience of thespeakers, and the availability of Man-del hall where the discussion is to beheld. However, it is planned to oc¬cur during the latter part of Febru¬ary.Seek National FiguresThree nationally known speakers,repre.senting the three major politicalparties will be secured. All three willpresent their views of the politicalsituation in each other’s presence, andthe contrast in opinion should be in¬teresting.

Cover, professor of Statis¬tics, will address the Graduate clubsof Economics and Business today on“Cost of Living in the United States,”according to an announcement madeyesterday by Mr. Reed, president ofthe organizations.The lecture will take place in thecommon room of Haskell hall at 4:30. By an unanimous vote the StudentVigilance committee was officially de¬clared out of existence to be supplant¬ed by a new organization, with a newname and with the function of spon¬soring the anti-war conference andthe peace demonstration. EdwardShils, president of the SVC, an¬nounced that the name and officers ofthe newly-formed organization w’ouldbe announced later.The organization against war,which was organized to co-ordinatecampus anti-war activities on thebasis of a definite program, recog¬nized in view of recent developmentsin international relations and thechanges which have taken place onthe campus during the past months,that its functions could be fulfilledmore adequately by an organizationwhose sole purpose should be the fur¬thering of awareness of the dangersof war and of intelligent discussionof how it can be averted. For thesereasons the SVC declared itself dis¬solved in the expectation that itsplace will be taken by another groupwhich will confine itself to the prep¬aration of an anti-war conference tobe held in the latter part of Februaryand a peace demonstration to be heldApril 12.idcnts and FacultyReact Unfavorably toOmissions of CapitalsStudents and faculty membersstrongly prefer to retain capital let¬ters in their reading material, accord¬ing to comments received after theconclusion of the Daily Maroon ex¬periment on using only the lower case.Comments indicate that it would bealmost impossible to institute a sys¬tem without capitals. Only a few ob¬servers noted no additional difficultyin reading the articles, while manyfound reading too difficult to beworth-while, they said.The principal disadvantage to mostreaders was the difficulty of readingnames and of following changes fromone sentence to the next. Many of thecomments stated no reason for dislik¬ing the system.Maroon reporters had some diffi¬culty in omitting capitals, and foundit a little harder to read proof. How¬ever, the linotypists observed no dis¬advantage to their work.Many readers thought the lowercase issues were “cute”, and otherstook advantage of the opportunity tooppose “capitalism.”The objections to having people’snames in lower case centered aboutthe fact that in reading news, observ¬ers have become accustomed to con¬centrating on names, which are theessential feature. Benny Goodman and his orchestra,currently rated as the leading “swing”dance band in the country, wassigned yesterday as one of the twoorchestras which will play at theforty-first annual Washington prom.Jack Allen, chairman of the studentsocial committee announced last night.Goodman’s orchestra was votedmore than a 5 to 1 favorite over anyother of 16 orchestras submitted tothe students in a poll last week todetermine the campus preference forthe prom orchestra.To Select Second OrchestraTwo additional orchestras, CharlesAgnew’s and Charles Gaylord’s arebeing considered for the second orchea-stra to play at the prom, Allenstated. An announcement of the se¬lection of a second orchestra will bemade sometime next week.The prom will be held Friday eve¬ning, February 21, at the Lake ShoreAthletic club. It will start at 10 andlast until 3:30, an hour and a halflater than any previous Universitysocial affair. Benny Goodman will ap¬pear from 1:15 to 3:30, playing forthe grand march, which will takeplace at 1:30. The other orchestra se¬lected will play from 10 until 1:15.Because of the fact that two expensiveorchestras are being engaged for theprom, Allen announced that no dinnerwill be served. Bids are priced at $5.Results of PollGoodman received more than fivetimes as many votes as any otherorchestra in the recent poll of cam¬pus opinion. Freddie Martin, Joe Ve-nuti, and Little Jack Little wereclosely bunched for second, third andfourth places, respectively. CharlesGaylord, who may be selected to playduring the first part of the dance,polled tenth place among the 16orchestras, while Charles Agnew wasnot included in the list submitted tothe campus.Beny Goodman, noted for his “hot”clarinet playing, featured principallyin the recent revival of “swing” jazzmusic all over the country. He gainednation-wide popularity of the three-hour Saturday evening “Let’s Dance”programs last summer. He is nowmaking a record appearance at theUrban room of the Congress hotel.Moody LecturerReads Scenesby ShakespeareSuch classic scenes of WilliamShakespeare as those between Romeoand Juliet, Hamlet and Ophelia, andRosalind and Orlando will be enactedby Edith Wynne Matthison, famedEnglish born actress and past ma.sterof Shakespeai'ean drama, in her re¬cital in Mandel hall Tuesday eveningat 8:15.Miss Matthison, who in private lifeis Mrs. Charles Rann Kennedy, willread selections from the “Merchant ofVenice” (Portia and Nerissa);“Romeo and Juliet” (balcony scene) ;“Henry VIII” (Queen Katherine’s de¬fence) ; Hamlet, (Hamlet and Ophe¬lia) ; and “As You Like It” (Rosa¬lind, Celia, and Orlando).Tickets for the lecture, which is apart of the William Vaughn Moodyfoundation series, will be availablestarting tomorrow without charge atthe Information desk.

But to¬morrow for a few hours he will bejust another man celebrating thepassing of another busy year in thecompany of a few old friends.It will be a ditferent celebrationthan occurred last year and the yearbefore when Mr. Roosevelt was ridingthe crest of popular acclaim and onlya few sharpshooters in his own partyhad appeared. It was before theSupreme Court’s devastating decisionsscrapping NR.\, AAA and other NewDeal proposals initiated durtng theblack days of 1933.Changing SituationToday the situation has changed.The Republicans are launching asweeping offensive, big business, nev- |er friendly to the chief executive, isfighting him hard. ConservativeDemocrats in the south are unhappy.The pre-presidential campaign isswinging into its stride. Senator Wil¬liam E. Borah plopped his hat in thering in a speech in Brooklyn, NewYork, Governor Eugene V. Talmadgewas endorsed for president by 2,000whooping Democrats to a “GrassRoots’’ convention in Macon, Georgiatoday. Attempts were made to readMr. Roosevelt out of the party.A third man out for Mr. Roosevelt’sjob — Governor .Alf Landon, Republi¬can of Kansas, was to make his bid ,tonight in a speech before Kansas day ;dinner at Topeka. Hundreds of politi- |cal and business leaders have trooped ;to Landon’s door in the past few |months to learn how he balanced the 'state’s budget when other states weregoing into the red and rushing toWashington for more money.House Hears Charge*William .\llen White, Kansas edi¬tor, said tartly that the Republicanpresidential campaign had developed iinto a contest of candidates, ratherthan an attempt to define issues. Hesaid that “unfortunately these candi¬dates are after votes and are hidingtheir convictions.’’Political bitterness flared on the ifloor of the house where Representa- jtive Culkin shouted that both parties jhave “financial and lunative fringes.’’ IHe said that while Smith spent onehour before the financial barons at¬tending the Liberty League dinner,Mr. Roosevelt spent weeks in the pala¬tial atmosphere of the yacht Nour-mahal “with a gentleman who had con¬siderable amount of wealth.’’As the tumult of the campaignrises, the man who is credited with amajor part of Mr. Roosevelt’s victoryin 1932—Louis McHenry Howe—liesgravely ill. In respect to his political-secretary, Mr. Roosevelt has cancelledstunts which usually are held duringhis birthday celebration party. j (Bi/ United Press)I The 1936 presidential campaignI which promises to be the liveliest inI a decade, swept forward on severalI fronts yesterday.President Roosevelt, who is almostI certain to receive nomination for re-1 election at the Democratic nationalj convention next June, celebrates hisI birthday Thursday midst scenesfraught with political turmoil.At Macon, Georgia, GovernorEugene Talmadge, bitter anti-New! Deal foe, and himself a Democraticcandidate for the Presidency, lead: .southern “Grass Rooters’’ in an“Oust-Roosevelt” convention.At Topeka, Kansas, Governor AlfM. Landon, avowed candidate for theRepublican nomination, spoke at a; Kansas day dinner at which he casti-‘ gated the administration.At Cleveland, Ohio, Colonel FrankKnox, Chicago publisher and candi¬date for the Republican nomination,called on business men to “quit com¬plaining about the Roosevelt NewDeal and do something about it.’’ ‘Stand and Fight’Advises Frank Knox Includes List of Six Things |Needed on Campus Fraternity Rowby Edward SternName Talmadge asSouthern Candidate CLEVELAND, Jan. 29 — (UP) —Business men of America should stopcomplaining about the New Deal anddo something about it. Colonel FrankKnox, Chicago publisher, advised to¬night in his second Ohio invasion sincethe presidential campaign warmed up.Speaking at a McKinley day ban¬quet in a hotel close to the hall wherea Republican candidate will be nomi¬nated next June, the Dynamic ex¬soldier and party counselor declaredthat unless business “stands up andfights’’ the New Dealers can “perpetu¬ate themselves in public office — andcontinue to live off the work and sav¬ings of the people.’’Colonel Knox attacked the Roose¬velt administration on all fronts,warning of the dangers of “Dictator¬ship,” broken party pledges, wastefulspending, high cost of living and un¬sound money. These, he said, are the“quintuplets that have been begottenin their midst.”“This is no sham battle these NewDealers are putting up,” he said. “Theprize they covet is to run .\mericanaffairs to suit themselves—and this •means putting an end to our systemof free enterprise and capturing allthe wealth it has created for the peo¬ple.”MACON, Ga., Jan. 29.—(UP) —Governor Eugene Talmadge of Georgiawas endorsed for President of theUnited States today at a noisy con¬vention of discontented Democrats,who pledged themselves to try to drivethe New Deal out of office in Novem¬ber.Delegates from 14 Southern statesroared their assent when Hugh How¬ell, chairman of the Georgia Demo¬cratic executive committee, steppedto the loud speakers and said:“Let’s ask old Gene Talmadge to letus use his name to go before the peo¬ple of the United States as a candi¬date for President. Let’s vote on it.”The answer was waves of cheers,from the 2,000 persons gathered in jMacon’s municipal auditorium. Tal¬madge, chewing a cigar and sitting onthe platform next to a farmer inoveralls, grinned and waved at thecrowd.John Henry Kirby, who joinedwith Talmadge in issuing the call forthe “Grass Roots” convention, saidtoday’s events made Talmadge a can¬didate for the Democratic nominationat the Philadelphia convention.“We put him in the race here todayand we’re going to nominate him atPhiladelphia” Kirby said.Talmadge, a canny politician, re¬fused to commit himself along tho.selines, realizing it virtually will be im¬possible to prevent President Roose¬velt from being renominated in June.Instead, his plans are based aroundthe strategy of trying to read Presi¬dent Roosevelt out of the Democraticparty after he is nominated. Talmadgethen would invoke—as he did yester¬day—all discontented Democrats andRepublicans to support his candidacy. ...Editorial...Evaluates Maroon ExperimentWith Small LettersIn spite of the expected misunder¬standings, The Daily Maroon has suc¬ceeded in making an experiment inour written language. The conclusionsof this trial are that an abrupt changewould be impossible, and that even along-run improvement is not likely.Although many of the objectionshad reasons, many more were a resultof prejudice. This prejudice is suffi¬cient to distort the observers’ attitude.Many of the reasons for the experi¬ment, such as rationally examining aquestioned tradition, were overlookedby readers. Because of favoring theretention of capital letters, sometermed the experiment, itself trivial.But there is no doubt that a great ^deal of constructive thought was stim-:ulated. .The experiment indicated that capi- ital letters have many utilities, and jthat many difficulties arise in switch- ,ing away from their use. If such aninnovation meets opposition in the IUniversity, it is not likely to succeedon a large scale elsewhere.—E. C.!Fritz. WHAT THE CAMPUS NEEDS—1. First and foremost—ANOTHERi good looking GIRL.2.

Definitionof Rushins:“Rushing shall be defined as any actwhereby a fraternity (alumni, activemembers, or pledges) shall arrangeby appointment to meet a freshmanor shall have social functions at whicha freshman shall be. entertained, orshall expend money for the entertain¬ment of a man other than in a casualand informal manner.”Thus does the Interfraternity com¬mittee in its published set of rules at¬tempt to define rushing. Inevitably, theterm must be defined in generalterms; and also inevitably, if definedin general terms, there will be manyloopholes through which organizationswho are not in accord with the spiritof the deferred system will try toescape.W’ith three years of experience be¬hind them, the fraternities have nat¬urally discovered many and variedways of subtly breaking the stand¬ard code of rushing rules. Minor in¬fractions are impossible to avoid, andeasy to excu.se. It is the spirit of therules rather than the letter that mu.stbe ob.served to make any .set of regu¬lations succe.saful.FlaRfraniViolationsTo .show what is meant by thisphrase, .several incidents may serveas illustrations of this point. Takeone ca.se of illegal rushing that hastaken place this year. Six freshmenreceived an invitation from an ac¬quaintance to attend a Sunday nightsupper party. By coincidence six mem¬bers of a campus fraternity al.so wereat the party. The acquaintance inci¬dentally was an alumnus of the chap¬ter to which the other men belonged..4fter having dinner, the i)arty ofthirteen adjourned to the ChicagoBlackhawks hockey game at the sta¬dium, all tickets prepaid by thealumnus. This incident is, of course abreach of the letter of the rules aswell as the spirit, but it is the typeof thing that is being done.Although there are incidents with¬out number in which different fra¬ternity men have accidentally or withdesign met freahmen at certain off-campus rendezvous, the most glaringbreach of the rushing regulationstook place the weekend of the Chicago-Illinois football game.

Landon of Kansa.stonight told Republicans that theymust work for a national administra¬tion pledged to common sense economyand a balanced budget.Tacitly acknowledging the boom towin him the Republican presidentialnomination at the party’.s conventionin Cleveland, Ohio, in June, Landondenounced the Roosevelt administra¬tion for “waste and extravagance,”“half-baked legislation,” “maladmin¬istration” of relief, an unworkablefarm program and a “personal gov¬ernment rather than a government oflaws.”The Governor’s address was deliv¬ered before the annual “Kansas daydinner,” celebrating the 75th anniver¬sary of the state’s admission to theunion. It was radiocast over a limitednational network to millions of listen¬ers.While Landon did not refer directlyto the boom to obtain the Republicannomination for him he did stress hisavailability by emphasizing his recordin reducing taxes and maintaining abalanced budget during his regime asGovernor of Kansas. “You can drawyour own conclusions,” he said, whenasked about his candidacy.He demanded “better housekeeping”in Washington, contra.sting nationalwaste and inefficiency to Kansas’ rec¬ord of lower costs of government andincreased efficiency.

Smith and Marian Van TuylGET YOUR TICKETS NOW AT THE MANDEL BOX OFFICERemember—Mandel Hall—February 7, 8 week previous to the contest, a num¬ber of freshmen eager to visit Champaign had inquired of the Dean’s of¬fice as to whether they might stay atfraternity houses while away. Theywere informed in distinct terms thatthey might stay at the house of anyorganization that did not have a Chi¬cago chapter. Nevertheless, very fewfirst year men followed instruction.s.Practically every representative campus fraternity had freshmen stayingin their Champaign hou.se that Satunlay night. Naturally, there .venno accusations of illegal rushingmade.The relation of incidents similar tothese would fill many pages, but with¬out the.se it is still possible to see thatit is impo.ssible for a fraternity sy.v-tem, suppo.sedly self-governing to exist if it will not abide by its own selfcompo.sed regulations.HYDE PARK. 5312.akr BarkTODAY“The Informer’’withVICTOR McLAGLENMATINEKDAILYPICCADILLY51st & lUackstone“Hands Across the Table’’Uarolr Lombard • Fred MrMurraySAT. - SI N. - MON. - TUES.“The Man W’ho Broke theBank at Monte Carlo”Ronald Colman - Joan Rrnnrtt.\l.so“March of Time”January-SpecialKingly and anotherwell known brandofSHIRTS$169or 3 for %5MRegular $2.50 shirtsALL STYLESTABLONG POINTBUTTON DOWNKENT COLLARSAll colors and iHitternsErie ClothingCompany837-39 E. 63rd StreetTHE UAILY MAROON, THURSDAY.

For campus wear heavy eye¬shadow and excessive mascara aredefinitely taboo; perfume gives wayto more delicate cologne. When you>;o formal be exotic if you’re dark andtall and can get away with it. But ifyou’re not a black eyed I.,atin andwant to look your charming best, ana-lize your features and see what youcan do to make the moat of your indi¬vidual type.Hair stylists, too, insist on the im¬portance of individualty. For eveningthey advise the long bob with curlshigh in the back. If you have natur¬ally curly hair and a high foreheadwear bangs that are light and feath¬ery. Permanent wave curls can beplaced anywhere on your head andbreak up the monotony of an other¬wise drab hairdress. Braids are stillgood, flowers, artificial and real, re¬tain their popularity, and if you aren’tafraid, wear bright feathers.Kyebrows should be neat and non-Jean Harlow. F’alse eye-lashes can beput on separately or in strips, but theyneed an expert’s touch. Blonde browsand lashes are more attractive whendarkened..Nail tints to be good should be soft—tending toward terra-cotta and sun¬tan shades, but best effects bedngachieved with creme polishes. For eve¬ning the newest wrinkle is a cello¬phane finish, pearl under clear red.Beauticians point out that dietingsometimes affects the nails, causingcracking and advise a good oil to in¬sure pliability.Silver eye-shadow can be used forevening—but only very subtly.

Sororities Abandoned Voluntarily, NotThrough AdministrativeCompulsionConcerning the various rumorsabout sororities and clubs which havebeen circulating among the Universitywomen, there is a simple answer. Sev¬eral of the faculty who were at theUniversity during its early yearsagree that there are no rules whateverbanning sororities on campus; thewomen have selected clubs of theirown will.There is a rumor about Ida Noyeshall being given to the University onthe condition that there would neverbe any sororities so that the clubswould make Ida Noyes their meetingplace. Dean Charles W. Gilkey, aformer member of the Board of Trus¬tees, says there was no such provision.Mrs. Gilkey believes the clubs startedby popular consent among the women.Mrs. Agnes Prentice Smith, secretaryof the YWCA, who was a student atthe time of the dedication of IdaNoyes, says she has no recollection ofsuch a rule. The dedication itself doesnot mention clubs or sororities. Itreads “Ida Noyes Hall is dedicated tothe life of the women of the Univer¬sity of Chicago.’’ No provisions areimplied.Some of the women have been toldthat a faculty rule exists, which for-WAA Displays LatestTrends of FashionsLatest fashions for all occasionsand styles for campus events will befeatured in the annual Women’s Ath¬letic association Style Show to be heldThursday, February 6, in The IdaNoyes theater.

Miss Mar¬ion Talbot, the first Dean of Womenat the University describes the firstclub chartered in 1894 as “a literaryorganization, having restricted mem¬bership of girls who had a commonintellectual interest. There were norules, faculty or otherwise which in¬fluenced their choice.” Mrs. HarveyCarr has not heard of any regulationsconcerning the sororities or clubs,either.In the dedication ceremony, Mr.Noyes merely stated that the thirdfloor of Ida Noyes was to be used “asan office for the headquarters of thewomen’s organizations.”There are, then, no rules againstsororities. If, at any time the womenwant them, they are at perfect libertyto have them.Women Comprise43 Percent ofChicago Student!!Even the New Plan can’t changewomen (not that it pretends to). Theystill shun the physical sciences, goflocking to SSA, the humanities,and social sciences, and scatter them¬selves in middle sized numbers overthe rest of the fields.Statistics compiled at the end of thethird week show that approximatelyforty-three per cent of the students inthe University are women, making atotal of 3349. The majority are in thedowntown College, which has a totalof 1237. Next highest is the collegewith 628, although that is only abouttwenty-per cent of the total.The divisions boast 864 women. Themajority, 298, are in the division ofHumanities, followed closely by 280in the social sciences. There are 194in the biological sciences, and only 74in the physical sciences.Most of the women on the quad¬rangles are undergraduates, with 1063in the divisions, and 112 in the profes-j sional schools. The graduates total893, with 411 in the divisions and 482I in the professional schools.Eastern Women Prefer Offer GovernmentSocial Science Courses! Training for WomenThe growing popularity of socialsciences as elective courses in easternwomen’s colleges was shown by a re¬cent survey conducted at Bryn Mawrcollege. The largest enrollment gainin any elective course since 1930-31was credited to the first year politicscourse, which deals with the structureand functions of modern government,and examines the party system.Vassar college recently organized achapter of the ASU which now hasan enrollment of 200 students. A granthas been made by Carnegie founda¬tion to the New Jersey College forWomen, to be used to establish a so¬cial information center. Guidancealong civic and welfare lines will bemade available to the public throughthe new bureau. A new field for women has beenopened by the United States Govern¬ment, which has established a Na¬tional Academy of Public Affairs, to' train men and women for public ser-I vice in administration in national andI international affairs.Women’s organizations are particu-; larly interested in the co-educationalfeature of this because women’s op¬portunities for such training and posi-‘ tions have been very limited.

Kes¬sler scored nine points to Haarlow’sfour in the initial tilt this year.Other Purdue stars include Elhottand Seward at center, and the color-jful Red Lambert at guard, as well jas excellent substitutes.

Naismith originated basketball atthe Springfield, Mass., Y. M. C. A. in j1891, a college team will have an op¬portunity to win the national cham¬pionship. The introduction of basket¬ball into the Olympic program opened ,the way for a national championship jtournament, which will determine thesquad which will represent the UnitedStates at Berlin.Five college teams, two A. A. U.teams and one Y. M. C. A. team willcompete in the final Olympic tryoutsat Madison Square Garden, April 3, j4 and 5. The Olympic squad will becomposed of 7 players from the win¬ning team, five from the runner-up |and three others.A majority of college coaches thinkthat the championship A. A. U. teamis a cinch to win the Olympic tryouttournament, but they have no soundargument for their assumption. Ned ^Irish, basketball promoter at Madison iSquare Garden, who has done pioneer |work in breaking down the boundary !lines by bringing college teams from iall parts of the country to New York,believes that a college team definitelyhas a chance to triumph in the Olym¬pic finals./ Eggemeyer and Gordon, who v’illundoubtedly see a great deal of actionin the second half of the season, haveshown great form at the forward postthis year. Both were outstanding inhigh school. Eggemeyer excels on de¬fense and in mid-court shots, whileGordon is brilliant on plays underthe basket, having filled the pivot po¬sition in high school.The Maroons may find the Purdueteam in a low spell after takingexams this week. The examinationperiod has been the factor keepingthe team out of competition while In¬diana has pulled ahead by winningI five games. However, the fresh Boil-j ermaker cagers may be especially hot,! on their return to competition.The contest may be a scorcher, sincethe Midway five will be anxious towin a conference game and to re¬venge their previous loss to Purdue,while the Boilermakers must win thiscontest to keep up with Indiana.Frosh ScrimmageAfter a month of intensive prelim¬inary practice, the freshman basket¬ball team met its first test yesterdayafternoon, in a long scrimmage withthe varsity. Although the varsity hada slight edge in scoring, the freshmenj showed up remarkably well, particu-! larly on floor work and defense. Thefreshman “red” team, composed ofMarshall Burch and Jimmy Lytle, for¬wards, Dick Loundsbury, center, andPaul Cannon and Jack Mullins,guards, looked especially smooth, theiraccurate passing and aggressiveguarding keeping the varsity w’ork-ing at top speed to keep pace.Loundsbury High ScorerLoundsbury, high scorer at St.Johns Military Academy last year, andBirch, an all-state forward from Mun-cie, Indiana, led the scoring for thefrosh. Loundsbury is a hook-shot art¬ist, and Birch exhibited deadly ac¬curacy from the corners. Mullins, whohails from Salem, Ohio, looked verygood on defense, repeatedly breakingup the varsity offense by interceptingpasses.Coach Norgren worked Jim Gordonand John Eggemeyer at varsity for¬wards for the entire length of thescrimmage, in an effort to find a suc¬cessor to Bill Lang. He substitutedfreely at center and guards.In spite of its excellent showing to¬day, the freshman squad is sadly lack¬ing in man power. Aside from a fewindividuals, the caliber of this year’syearling team is not up to that of lastyear.Announce Results inTable Tennis MeetsWith the third round of the Rey¬nolds club table tennis tournamentnearly finished, six of the eight gameshave already been decided. Next thetourney enters into the quarter finalstage.The prizes for the tourney are nowon display in the game room of theclub. First prize is a clock and to therunner-up a billfold bearing the Uni¬versity seal is awarded. The thirdprize is a ping pong paddle.Thus far Smith, Spector, Ross,Raack, Vohen, and Askow have takentheir matches. Mertz and Stern aswell as Brandt and Johnson have yetto play their matches. According toReynolds club “dopesters”, Cohen israted as the darkhorse of the tourna¬ment while Smith, the top rankingplayer, is “doped” to take the winner’sprize.Chess Squad MeetsAustin TomorrowIn a battle for third place in thecity league, the Reynolds club “B”chess squad takes on a team fromAustin tomorrow night. Only three-quarters of a point separates the twoteams at present.The race for the third place in thecity league has now centered into athree-way fight. At present the Ma¬roons are holding the rank but lessthan one point is needed for Aus¬tin and Irving Park to take the thirdplace rating.- Chicago has piled up 18 Mspoints in the winning column to 18 bythe two other squads. Austin has 13points in the loss column and IrvingPark, 12.Comparative scores show the nearlyequal strength of the teams. The Uni¬versity men lost to Irving Park,4^/4-3V4; and defeated Austin, 4-3. Tracksters ShowI Improvement inj Early WorkoutsUniversity track fans, who haven’thad too much to cheer about in re¬cent years, are working up some wellwarranted excitement about Ray El-linwood, sophomore from River Foifest who promises to be one of themost brilliant middle-distance runnersthe Maroons have had in a historythat includes Binga Dismond, IraDavenport and Dale Letts. The Ma¬roon trackmen will meet Notre Damein their opening dual meet at theMidway field house Friday, February7th.Ellinwood may be as outstanding intrack this year as Jay Berwanger hasbeen in football and Bill Haarlow inbasketball. Already this w’inter hehas been timed in practice runs inthe field house at :49 for 440 yardsand at 1:55.1 for the half mile.Fuqua Sets RecordThe Big Ten indoor record was setat :49.4 by Ivan Fuqua of Indiana in1934. Last year the winning time inthe Big Ten indoor 440 was :51.5,by Page of Iowa.Ellinwood’s best time in the halfmile is faster than last year’s win¬ning time of 1:56.5, by Kleinschmidtof Wisconsin, but slower than theConference indoor record of 1:53.9 setby Hornbostel of Indiana in 1933.With Ellinwood at anchor, the Ma¬roon one-mile relay team should bea strong contender. Another sopho¬more, George Halcrow, from HydePark high, former state prep cham¬pion, is capable of doing :51 in the440. Co-captain Quentin Johnstone hasdone :51.4, and several other men,among them Alfons Tipshus, DickWasem, Jack Webster, John Ballen-ger and Bill Beverly, may do :52.Beal, Point PossibilityNext to Ellinwood, John Beal,hurdler, may be the best Maroonpoint-getter. Last year Beal, then asophomore, defeating Layden of NotreDame and Sandbach of Purdue, wasunbeaten in dual meets indoors butfell in the Big Ten meet. He maycrack :09 for the 70-yard highhurdles.Aside from these events the Ma¬roon talent is not too good. Co-CaptainJay Berwanger, Ned Bartlett and EdKrause are the sprinters. Nat New¬man and Bob Brumbaugh are Beal’spacers in the hurdles, the former be¬ing especially adept over the low' bar¬riers.Today’s I-M Games(Thursday, January 30)at 7:30Court 1. U.

But as thereare only three leagues competing forthis honor, two third place teams willbe drawn to round out the number ofcompetitors in the final tournament.These two teams will be chosen by anelimination tournament with theirother third place rival. No ‘B’ teamswill be entered in championship com¬petition.D. U.s Lead Alpha LeagueIn the Alpha league. Delta Upsilon,by virtue of its late 16-13 win overPhi Kappa Psi, has the first placeberth practically clinched. The D. U.’shave a smooth, fast quintet with asure eye for the basket, but are handi- Icapped because of lack of height. ThePhi Psis should be in second placebut might be upset by the Phi DeltaTheta squad which is now tied withthem for second place at 3-1. This ■w'ould be an upset, however, as thePhi Psis have a particularly strongdefensive team. Championship playwill probably see the Phi Delts in ac¬tion as one of the third place teams togo to the final tournament. Their at¬tack, bolstered by Kacena and Gra-nert, intramural high-scorers, should ilead the squad to a third place vie- jtory. The Beta league has been, and willcontinue to be, completely dominatedby the Psi Upsilon team. At presentthe Psi Us are tied with the Phi SigmaDelta quintet for the league crown,but there is little chance for the lat¬ter’s five when it meets the champion¬ship bound Owls next Tuesday. ThePsi Us, the strongest fraternity intra¬mural team .seen on the campus sincean A. T. 0. squad romped to a Univer¬sity crown in 1928, are favorites forthe intramural basketball crown thisyear and, unless unexpectedly defeat¬ed, should breeze through the finalbrackets of intramural basketballplay to victory.Sigma Chis Lead Gamma LeagueThe Phi Sig aggregation plays ahard, fast game and should be certainfor second place in the Beta league. .Atpresent tied for third place with PhiKappa Sigma, Chi Psi should come jthru to defeat the Phi Kaps and thePhi Gamma Delta quintet (probable jthird place winner in the Gammaleague) to be the other third placeteam to see action in the champion¬ship brackets.Leading the Gamma league withthree wins and no losses, the Sigma |Chis should have little trouble bowl¬ing over the thrice defeated Phi iLambda Phi team next Tuesday. The ;second place is up in the air, however, jas the Delta Kappa Epsilon five has !an excellent chance to toss a bomb!into the league by defeating Phi Beta jDelta. This would result in a three ■way tie for second between the aboveand Phi Gamma Delta. However, a |w'in by the Phi B. D.s would place !them in second place, put the Dekes iin fourth, and leave the third place !to the Phi Gams. While this is quite 'probable, it is not unlikely that theDekes will finally eke out a win.
