GoldingThis is the first in a series ofarticles on issues of the comingpresidential campaign. In a yearwhen Boss Jim Farley predictsthe bitterest campaign in history,it becomes particularly impor¬tant to the cause of democracythat the real issues rather thanpersonalities be brought into pub¬lic discussion. Of obvious impor¬tance in the campaign will be theposition of the Supreme court.How and to what extent will theissue of limiting the court’s pow¬ers of review over legislation ap¬pear in the coming campaign?This question is discus.sed byJerome G. Kerwin, associate pro¬fessor of Political Science..As far as the political generalshipof the Democratic party is concerned,the leaders will not permit the issueof the Supreme court’s powers ofjudicial review and the broader con¬stitutional issue of the relation of thefederal government to the state gov¬ernments appear in the coming cam¬paign if they can avoid doing .so. Thisi.s apparent from the movements madeat the present time both on the partof the administration and on the partof the Democratic national commit¬tee to softpedal the issue. The partyleaders, however, will have great dif¬ficulty in suppressing statements byminor adherents who stump the coun¬try during the next several months.Individual bills have been introducedinto Congress to limit the powers ofthe Supreme court. None of these hasthe support of the administrationand none has a chance of parsing atthe present session.Reasons for this hush program arenumerous. The Democratic adminis¬tration is afraid of its own followers,especially in the South, who becauseof racial reasons are still .statesrightists, and feel vaguely that theSupreme court i.s a desirable checkon Congressional activity. The admin¬istration fears too that the con.stitu-tional issue would become too broada que.stion, in dealing with which thel)arty would become vulnerable to theoratory of super-patriots. Most im¬portant is the fact that the issue ofthe Supreme court need not be dealtwith at all by popular referendum.Democrats Can Replace3 Supreme Court JudgesThe administration forces knowthat in case Roosevelt is reelectedwhich still is the most likely outcome,three Supreme court justices will re¬tire within the next four years, allof whom will be replaced by adminis¬tration appointees. In fact the Demo¬crats will be able to put through theirmeasures with little fear of the judi¬ciary when only two Republican ap¬pointees are replaced.It must be understood that there Isone other way in which the Supremecourt’s power of judicial review canbo suppressed without recourse t'lconstitutional amendment. Only the joriginal jurisdiction of the court, overcases involving ambassadors andstates, is fixed in the Constitution;appellate jurisdiction of the court isconveyed by act of Congress andwhat Congress has conferred Con¬gress can take way. Since all impor¬tant constitutional questions havebeen settled on appeal from lowercourts, the Democratic majority inCongress could easily end all difficul¬ties with the court by eliminating itsappeal jurisdiction. To date the ad¬ministration has been unwilling toadopt this expedient.Rublic Opinion Has OpposedSupreme Court’s PowersPublic sentiment in favor of thecourt need deter the administrationlittle in proposing its elimination, ifhistorical precedents have any weight.In most cases where the extent ofour highest court’s powers has beena political issue, the court has lost.Jefferson successfully opposed thecourt, Lincoln practically ran on aplatform of repeal of the Dred Scottdecision, and 'Theodore Roosevelt ad¬vocated recall of judicial decisions.At the present time, I believe thereis much more sentiment for modifi-(Continued on page 3) Expect Ethiopiato Ask Peacein FortnightReport Haile Selassie PlansAbdication to CrownPrince.ROME, March 2—Rejoicing Ital¬ians celebrating renewal of MarshallPietro Badoglio’s smashing offensivein East Africa, heard today that Em¬peror Haile Selassie is about to abdi¬cate in favor of his son, who wouldsue for peace with Italy.High officials confidently expectthat the Negus will renounce histhrone within two w'eeks, permittingthe Crown Prince and lesser kings ofEthiopia to conclude a peace treaty.Should the emperor fail to abdicate,Italians said, they have “strong rea¬son’’ to believe a council of chieftainswill depose him.Chiefs AgreeItalian political agents in Ethiopia: already have communicated with “cer-I tain rases (chiefs) who have con-! sented to the emperor’s abdication.’’Abdication, the United Press was' informed, would be followed by a dip¬lomatic settlement providing for Ital¬ian annexation of territory alreadyoccupied with further additions inI southern Ethiopia.The proposed settlement w’ould re¬spect British interests in the Lakej Tsana region and French interest inj their railway from Djibouti to AddisAbaba.The remainder of Ethiopia, undera new emperor, would be placed underLeague of Nations protection.Italians AdvanceNews of peace prospects coincidewith publication of military com¬muniques from Badogjio reportinghis troops w’ere advancing along allnorthern fronts.“Overwhelming victory is in ourgrasp,’’ he said.“Enemy armies everywhere are inflight after suffering enormous lossesof men, arms, beasts and war mate¬rials. The enemy has lost whole col¬umns of war supplies.“For the fir.st time whole detach¬ments of Ethiopians have deuositedtheir arms.“Survivors of the battle, attempt¬ing to escape, are being bombed re-lentle.ssly.“Considering the stress and gravityof the battle our losses w'ere notheavy. The route of the enemy iscomplete.’’(Continued on page 2)U.S. ConcludesPanama DisputeOver AnnuitiesWASHINGTON, March 2—(UP)—The United States today accededto Panama’s protest over devaluationof the American dollar by signing anew treaty which will continue an¬nuity payments to the Central Ameri¬can republic at approximately thesame level as prior to the devalua¬tion move.A new general treaty with Panamacarried clauses settling the disputewhich arose after President Roose¬velt ordered devaluation of the dol¬lar.The treaty provided that the an¬nuity beginning with the 1934 pay¬ment shall be made on a basis of 430,000 Balboas (Panama currency) in¬stead of $250,000 American gold dol¬lars.It was said, however, that thetreaty was accompanied by an ex¬change of notes defining the new basisof payment.THE ABCs(Contributions to The ABCswill be accepted by the editor.)HE CAN’T LOSEThis is a European story: KingVictor Emmanuel of Italy was askedwhat he thought about the Ethiopianwar and is said to have replied: “Idon’t see how I can lose. If we win,I will become King of Ethiopia. Ifwe lose I will become King of Italy.”The little King may not have said itbut the facts seem indubitable.Louisville Courier-Journal. France RevivesNaval ConferenceWith Treaty Plan(Copyright, 1986, By United Press)LONDON, March 2—The languish¬ing world naval limitations conferencecame suddenly to life today whenFrance made possible a new tripartiteaccord with the United States, GreatBritain and France the potentialsignatories.Disregarding Italy’s refusal to signa treaty with any power enforcingLeague of Nations sanctions againsther, the French accepted draft treatyproposals.Remaining provisions will be ex¬pedited, making possible the initialingof an Anglo-Franco-American pact towhich Italy and Japan will be invitedto adhere.Great Britain proposes to negotiateidentical bilateral treaties with Ger¬many and Soviet Russia.It was learned that Germany willbe assured that Russia will be invitedto sign a bilateral treaty with Britaininstead of participating in a multi¬lateral agreement.Meanwhile the government con¬firmed that on Saturday, Prince Bis¬marck, German Embassy counsellor,visited British Foreign Secretary An¬thony Eden and announced his gov-(Continued on page 2)Britain BacksOil SanctionsEden Announces Plan toLeague Committee in Sur¬prise Move.(Copyright, 1936, By United Press)GENEVA, March 2—Great Brit¬tain threw the full weight of herprestige behind oil sanctions propos¬als tonight in a virtual ultimatum toPremier Benito Mussolini to makepeace with Ethiopia or face stoppageof Italy’s petroleum supply.British Foreign Secretary AnthonyEden, hurriedly entering a meeting ofthe League of Nations committee ofeighteen a half hour late after con¬sulting London by telephone, electri¬fied his colleagues by announcing hisgovernment’s readiness to apply anoil embargo, regardless of the atti¬tude of the United States.The Committee had barely recov¬ered from its surprise at the peacemove of French Foreign MinisterPierre Etienne Flandin.French PlanHe had made “peace before sanc¬tions” the slogan of the committee—the “sanctions general staff”—bypersuading it to explore the path ofpeace before voting on sanctions.The sharp Franco-British diverg¬ence excited speculation—some think¬ing Flandin, believing the time ripefor new peace efforts, had informedEden of his plan.Eden, fearing a shock to publicopinion such as resulted from theabortive Hoare-Laval plan of lastyear, obtained authorization fromLondon to advocate an oil embargoto prevent new shocks to the Leaguestructure.Others believe that Flandin, learn¬ing of Eden’s intention to advocate anoil embargo, decided to propose hispeace effort to show Mussolini thatFrance did her utmost to forestall anembargo. Thus France gives Italy achance to make peace before applica¬tion of an oil embargo.Favor Quick ActionThe British favor speedy applica¬tion of oil sanctions unless the peacenegotiators produce concrete hopeswithin a few days. Eden indicated hisgovernment desires an embargo onthe transport as well as export of oilto Italy.While holding the threat of an oilembargo over Premier Mussolini’shead, the committee of thirteen probably will telegraph both Italy andEthiopia, urging acceptance of newLeague mediation.If satisfactory replies are not re¬ceived in 48 hours, Eden is expectedto take the initiative in applying anoil embargo.Many delegates expect peace over¬tures to fail, resulting in oil sanctionsbefore the week-end. The French, itwas understood, will not oppose theembargo if Italy rejects peace over¬tures.France’s Attitude ChangesFrance’s attitude is due to unfavor¬able public reaction to Marshal Pietro(Continued on page 2) Mirror OffersNine Skits inAnnual RevueStudents, Alumni, FacultyContribute Scenes to Pro¬duction.Nine skits, ranging from depic¬tions of life on the briny deep to apioneer gold rush, will be presentedin the eleventh annual Mirror revuewhich will take place Friday andSaturday evenings in Mandel hall.The authors of the skits include stu¬dents. alumni, and a faculty member.“Tallyho”, a skit of hilariousEnglish country life has been con¬tributed by Vincent Quinn, and willbe enacted by Jayne Paulnxan,Gladys Stanyer, Henrietta Rybczyn-ski, Norman Mastei*son, Oliver Stat-ler, William Granert, and VictorJones.Satire on ParkingA satire on parking in the circle,“No Parking”, has been written byNoel B.

Dejiac Ajulu Burruand Ras Imru are said to be incharge now.It was reported the impending bat¬tle with these forces will be followedclosely by another Italian offensivealong the Takkaze river and aroundits tributaries, the Mai, Ueri andGheva rivers, w'hich Italian troopsalready have reached.Victory by the Italians over thesetwo forces would wipe out the lastremnants of Ethiopian opposition inthe north, thus making Italian linesof communication from Eritrea se¬cure. Italian circles expect MarshalPietro Badoglia to push onwardtowards Dessye and Addis .4ba]9awhen this is completed.Gondar ObjectiveThe Italian offensive reportedly hasbeen progressing against the forcesof Ajalu Burro since last Thursday.The Ethiopians are said to be retreat¬ing in disorder, with no chance ofescape. The spearhead of the Italianattack is led by Ck)lonel Terruzzi’sblack shirt division towards Gondarin the Lake Tana region. *. Only two regular Ethiopian armies,of the five which were in the field, re¬main intact. They are Emperor HaileSelassie’s imperial guards, numberingabout 40,000, at Dessye, and RasNasibu’s troops which were ordered tothe southern front to halt the spec¬tacular advance of General Graziani.Classified AdsWANTED—For the summer, twoteachers or counsellors betweenages of twenty-five and thirty, inhome for undernourished girls.

At the sametime. Chairman Robert Doughton, ofthe House Ways and Means committeesaid a tentative tax bill probablywould be introduced soon after theWhite House communication is read.The tentative bill, he said, probablywill call for $786,000,000 in additionaltaxes. This amount would include$120,000,000 to finance soldier bonusbond charges, $500,000,000 to financethe administration’s new farm pro¬gram and $166,000,000 in so-called“windfalls” taxes levied against un¬paid processing taxes.Tentati\e BillDoughton explained that the ob¬ject in offering a tentative bill inwhich proposed new levies may be re¬stricted to limited categories would beto facilitate hearings by barring amass of extraneous testimony thatusually is presented when a tax billis brought forward.“Even if we do this,” Doughtonwarned, “it will not mean that thecommittee favors the rates in thetentative measure. And—if such abill is offered, we will write it. Itwill not be a bill sent up from down¬town.”He indicated he might cal! his com¬mittee together tomorrow or Wednes¬day.Meantime, Republicans in bothhouses slammed away at the Presi¬dent’s decision to force a tax billthrough Congress at this time.

It isconsidered perhaps the most impor¬tant single treaty in Europe.“Super-sanctionism,” the editorialsaid, could lead to the destructionnot only of the League itself but ofLocarno and “other international ob¬ligations” in which Italy is a partner.Administration SetsFarm ConservationPlan Into OperationWASHINGTON, March 2—(UP)—The White House flashed the “go”signal to the Department of Agricul¬ture today on the New Deal’s broadnew $500,000,000 soil conservation-farm relief program, successor to theAAA.Eight weeks to the day from theSupreme Court’s invalidation of theAAA, President Rooosevelt’s signa¬ture enacted the soil conservation anddomestic allotment act to carry onessential features of crop control.The goal of the new law, Mr. Roose¬velt said in announcing his signature,is parity, not of farm prices, but offarm income.Major Objectives1. “The conservation of the soil it¬self through wise and proper landuse.2. “The re-establishment and main¬tenance of farm income at fair levelsso that the great gains made by ag¬riculture in the past three years canbe preserved and national recoverycontinue.3. “The protection of consumers byassuring adequate supplies of foodand fiber now and in the future.”The new’ law provides benefit pay¬ments to farmers w’ho co-operate infederal suggestions for conservationof soil fertility in 1936 and 1937. Itprovides, also, for Federal subsidiesto states setting up permanent stateprograms in 1938 and thereafter.The first meeting of land-grant col¬lege heads and soil conservation ex¬perts is planned tentatively for Mem¬phis and Chicago, Thursday, Fridayand Saturday of this w’eek.

TEMPLE50th St. and Drexel Blvd.Student Ticket.s—25c Fraternity RushingThe Daily Maroon makes thesesimple suggestions for a plan ofrushing to be followed next year:1—Concentrated rushing andpledging in the winter quarter.2—Procedure for rushing anddeferred pledging developed ingeneral rather than specfic terms.3—Strict determination of vio¬lations of the rushing code andstrict imposition of penalties.You may rightly charge that it iseasy to make these suggestions butthat it is more difficult to make themmean anything by putting them intoactual practice. We hope that we candemonstrate their practicality.We assume before we enter this dis¬cussion that the fraternities are an¬xious (or at least willing) to set upsome system of control. We also as¬sume that the fraternities are awarethat the Dean’s office considers theproblem distinctly as one for studentaction. We further assume that stu¬dents as dissatisfied with the almostcomplete disregard of responsibilitycharacteristic of regulating studentgroups in the past.* ♦ *As to the first point, it can be dis¬missed as being less important thanthe other two. It is clear that the de¬sire to rush arjd pledge men in the fallquarter springs from selfish motivesthat are disguised in arguments asto whether or not benefits of fratern¬ity associations are more valuable tothe freshman than an initial quarterfree for school work. We advise thatthe energy wasted in discussion ofthis problem be saved for more im¬portant matters and that time ofpledging be left unchanged.The second point is one advocatedby the Maroon for some time andone leveled in criticism of the presentcode while it was in its formativestages. There is no need for specificstatement of rules and penalties. Allthat is necessary is a general defini¬tion of rushing, a statement that vio¬lations are to be avoided, and an¬nouncement that doubtful acts will bejudged as to their lawfulness andpunished if necessary at the discretionFeature Sherman TalkOver ‘March of Time’The night after Mandel Sherman,professor of Educational Psychology,spoke about symbolic behavior to ameeting of the department of Super¬intendence, in St. Louis last Wednes¬day, there came comment upon it inthe radio feature “The March ofTime.”In his speech Professor Shermansaid that certain behavior traits weresymbolic of underlying problems. Ob¬servation of superficial personalitycharacteristics is not sufficient be¬cause those traits are only symbolicof some complicated condition. Theabsent mindedness of a voung adultmay be caused by almost any kind ofproblem. Angers and fears are traitssymbolic of personality problems.“The March of Time” took his il¬lustration of the neurotic who washeshis hands too often, or takes a bathtoo frequently, and compared it toLady Macbeth in Shakespeare’s play.Learn to Dance W’ellTERESA DOLAN DANCESTUDIO1545 E. 63rd St. Hyde Park 3080Beginners Class Every Mon.

Withsuch a body and with a set of rulesas suggested, fraternities will be un¬able to enter into illegal rushing withany confidence—and the abolishmentof illegal rushing is, we deem, theobject of,present Interfraternity ora¬tory.We have space for but a few sug¬gestions as to how much an objectivebody can be created. (1) Relinquishall power to the Dean’s office if thatoffice is willing to assume responsibil¬ity. (2) Evolve a sub group of theInterfraternity committee that couldbe headed by a non-fraternity man.Not only would this arrangementleave the Interfraternity committeefree to deal with more general frat¬ernity problems, but it would placethe control of rushing in unprejudicedhands. (3) Include non-fraternitymen or faculty men on the Interfrat¬ernity committee as it is now ar¬ranged. (4) Set up some checkingforce, such as the Maroon, with thestipulation that no one fraternitygroup have control of both, so thatsuch a group could widen the scope oflegal control, and overlap with theinterests of the original group.R.

At no time was anymember of the society authorized touse the name of Kent Chemical societyin connection with the Student Con¬ference for the Defense of Peace orany committee of the conference. Itis generally felt that participation inthe conference lies outside of the usualactivities of the Society.The Kent Chemical society wishes itto be understood, however, that it isnot opposed to this peace conferencein any way. The members of the So¬ciety are genuinely interested in themaintenance of peace and are opposedto war.O. L. Scherr, Pres.JOBS AND PEACE MOVEMENTEditor Daily MaroonDear Mr. Nicholson..\t a meeting of the Kent Chemicalsociety it was decided to repudiatesponsorship of the Student Congressfor the defense of Peace. The mem¬bers were motivated to take this stepby a double fear—fear for jobs andfear for fellowships.One of the members of the facultyof the Chemistry department is a con¬sulting chemist for the DuPonts.Many of the chemistry students arehoping to obtain positions with Du-i'ont after they graduate. The atti¬tude of the DuPont corporation to¬ward war is well known, and the stu¬dents who voted against participationin the conference were afraid thatif they endorsed a peace movement,the DuPonts would discriminateagainst them.Furthermore, several members ofthe Chemistry faculty are known tohave very cohservative views, and areopposed to student activity of any sorton problems of a controversial nature..Many members of the Kent Chemicalsociety are hoping to obtain fellow¬ships or scholarships next year, andthey do not want to do anything thatmight prejudice any of the facultyagainst them, and so lessen theirchances for awards.This sort of “knuckling under” tothe forces making for war is to beregretted. It can only lead to a com¬plete surrender to those agencieswhich are threatening to destroy ourcivilization. Fortunately, this attitudeis representative neither of the cam¬pus as a whole, nor of the undividedsentiments of the Chemistry depart¬ment. A strong minority of the Chem¬istry students are supporters of thepeace movement. They had activelybeen supporting the conference andtheir representatives will attend theconference as individual delegates.Chemist. Cover AnalyzesData ConcerningCost of LivingCost of living and variation of re¬tail prices in 59 cities of the UnitedStates are being analyzed by Dr. JohnH. Cover, professor of Statistics, anda staff of 105 statisticians, typists andstenographers in two rooms in theWest stands.The survey, one of the most thor¬ough ever taken of these subjects, isexpected to be finished in November.The results will be given to Federalagencies with whom Dr. Cover is co¬operating, and is of interest to econ¬omists and businessmen.Data consists of prices collected inrepresentative cities last spring. Toinsure a unifprmity of basic goodsand services priced, government andindustrial experts carefully chose 450items. This list, with full specifica¬tions for each item, was submitted tomerchants by interviewers, who notedthe prices used in determining the costof a predetermined adequate standardof living. Budget consisted of goods andservices required for one year for afamily of four: mother, fa'ther, andtwo children under 14. The budgetwas composed by governmental ex¬perts.The collection of these prices wasbased upon a survey by Dr. Cover sum¬marized in a book published last yearby the university press entitled “Re¬tail Price Behavior.”Assisting in the project are MissMary Leyman, personnel director, andfour research supervisors, WilsonSweeney, James Coble, Henry Mal-cheski, and Harry Libner.Today on theQuadranglesLectures“Psychopathology.” R.

Cobb to finance thebuilding of this hall which bears hisname, and this amount covered seven¬ty-five per cent of the total cost. Thelife of this donor parallels closely thelife of Cobb hall. Silas Cobb came toChicago from Vermont in 1833, and hewitnessed the erection of every build¬ing standing in Chicago during hislife time. So it is with Cobb hallwhich has seen the building of theUniversity. A marble portrait ofSilas B. Cobb, the work of LoradoTaft, is situated on the south wall ofthe main fioor at the foot of the stairs.The hall was designed by HenryIves Cobb, who, contrary to generalbelief was no relation to the donor.In October, 1892, while he scaffoldingstill remained on which stone cutterswere working to carve the name of thestructure, students entered the build¬ing over temporary boards.Cobb has always been the center ofstudent scholastic activity. In the be¬ginning its sixty rooms were arrangedin departmental suites around centraldepartmental libraries. The presi¬ dent’s office and the faculty officeswere situated in the southwest cornerof the first fioor. The space now oc¬cupied by the administrative officesserved as a chapel. In this room washeld the first public exercise of theUniversity at 12:30 on October 1,1892.On the first floor were the classrooms,offices of the deans of the graduateschool of arts, literature, and sciences,and the offices of the recorder andexaminer. On the second fioor is theoffice of the University College. Thisroom was also used by the UniversityOrchestral association. Here were alsothe rooms of the dean of the collegeof arts, literature and science. Withthe advent of the “new” plan, thedeans became known as deans of theBiological Sciences, Social Sciences,Physical Sciences, and Humanities.Formerly, the Dean of the Universityhad an office on this floor; today, how¬ever, the dean of the College alone hasan office there and his dealings areonly with students of the first andsecond years of the University.On the third floor were the class¬rooms and offices of the departmentsof English and romance languages.The new plan again brought changes.A college library was substituted formany of the classrooms. Offices ofthe professors and instructors of Hu¬manities and Social Sciences are sit¬uated off the north room of this li¬brary. Some rooms of the romancelanguages have been transferred o thefourth floor. Here also, is the officeof the alumni secretary and of the Power Plant Uses Over 5000Tons .of Coal During Cold SpellBy JOHN G. MORRISNo thermometers were needed totell that it was exceptionally cold inthe city of Chicago during the monthof February. But just how cold it wasis graphically recorded in the dailysteam output statistics of the Univers¬ity power plant.In the six-story red brick building at61st and Blackstone a staff of 18 menoperates night and day one of thelargest private power plants in thecity. From this plant steam is pipedto every one of the University’s 65buildings.In a normal February, about 4,000tons of coal are required to furnishsteam to keep the University warm,but in the month just past a totalof 5,078 tons of coal were used in con¬verting 74,375,000 pounds of waterinto steam. The reason for this in¬crease is shown by the average dailytemperature statistics, which show anormal average of about 27 degreesfor the month of February, whilethe average in the month just pastwas 10.8 degrees. Even so, the en¬gineers say, the University plant wasonly pushed to half its capacity.The steam output does not alwaysfluctuate exactly with the tempera¬ture. On the day of the largest steamGregory TermsCommon Law ofTodayinadequateThat the common law is hopelesslyinadequate at the present time is theconviction of Charles 0. Gregory, as¬sociate professor of Law reached inhis book to be published next month,entitled “Legislative Loss Distributionin Negligence Actions.”The book is described briefly bythe author as “a basis for legislationintroducing a new system of loss dis¬tribution to govern negligence actions,intended to adapt the administrationof such loss to modern social condi¬tions and at the same time to achievethe fairest results possible.”Rules Are ObsoleteThe rules of common law now ineffect were developed in the day ofthe horse and buggy, he pointed out,and are not now, if they ever were,suitable to a just disposition of neg¬ligence cases. Under thehe olderrules if a person is hurt by the negli¬gence of another the entire loss oc-curing is left on the former if he him¬self was also negligent, no matter howslightly.Under the proposed system, the de¬gree of fault of the two persons willbe determined from the evidence, andthe party hurt will recover his ac¬tual damages less that percentagewhich is represented by his share ofthe joint fault, explained Mr. Gregory.Propo8e.s Procedural ReformPerhaps the most interesting anduseful parts of this book are the pro¬posals of procedural devices necessaryto enable the litigation of all theseclaims in a single action. These pro¬posals are of necessity quite techni¬cal, but they are practically suited toachieve the end desired.“This book is written with the hopethat it will guide the tendency to in¬troduce legislation based on the prin¬ciple of comparative negligence. Leg¬islative attempts to effect this princi¬ple in the United States have not beensuccessful,” he pointed out. “Thelegislatures in the four states embark¬ing on this new field plainly show theiralmost complete lack of appreciationof the practical difficulties ihvolved,”he concluded.University magazine.Outside of Cobb hall are the manygifts of classes that have held con¬vocation within the building and ofmen and women that have come inclose contact with it. In a northeast¬erly direction from the buildings isthe senior bench, given by the classof 1896. Opposite the east door is the“C” bench, a gift of the class of 1903,which has ever since had great signi¬ficance among university students.The class of 1906 furnished the twobulletin boards outside Cobb hall; theclass of 1907, the ornamental lampsabove the east door; the class of1924, the clock on the east side of thebuilding.THREE MONTHS' COURSEfOI COUiOl STUDINTS AND OlADUATnmmrtima Jnmmry 1, Oetebtrl,JkIraMv wiAoui cUiattiMPkomt.

One reasonfor this variance between the tem¬perature and steam output is thatsteam is used for other purposes be¬sides heating—pressing pants at Inter¬national House, sterilizing instrumentsat Billings—but more significant isthe amount of use that the buildingsare put to—Saturday and Sundaybringing a natural letdown.Constructed at a cost of $1,000,000in 1929, the new heating sysem wasfound necessary to supply the needs ofthe expanding University. The plantwas built beside the Illinois Centraltracks so that coal could be trans¬ferred directly from railroad cars intothe storage bins. It is carried by beltconveyors from the cars to bunkers onthe top floor, and is then fed by grav¬ity into the huge furnaces.Steam is conveyed to the Univers¬ity buildings via a 7 by 8 concretetunnel with numerous smallerbranches. The main tunnel is morethan a mile long and runs along theMidway to Woodlawn, where itcrosses over, by Ida Noyes hall, andturns westward, ending up at a pointbetween Cobb hall and the Bookstore.A telephone system with five stationsconnects the different points of thetunnel, which is inspected daily.The power plant was constructed sothat the University may somedaysupply its own electricity, but thisstep still seems remote although sev¬eral surveys have been made to de¬termine its advisability.Issues ofthe Campaign* ’I' >!■(Continued from page 1)cation of the power of the Supremecourt than most people realize.The Republicans will press the con¬stitutional issue, but their opportun¬ity to bring it into the campai^ ismuch reduced since the TVA decision.Their activity is contingent on pro¬nouncements by administration speak¬ers, who since the TVA decision, canavoid pronouncements on the Supremecourt without losing face.I think it is very unfortunate thatan issue can’t be made of the con¬stitutional powers of the federal gov¬ernment. It is one of the unfortunatethings about our political practice thatwe avoid issues and prefer not to dragthem into the arena. Two of the ele¬ments that make this possible arethe length of the presidential cam¬paign which allows for the develop¬ing of an issue into a fantastic threatand the number of questions, not nec¬essarily important issues which areplaced before the people in a cam¬paign.The plan fact of the matter is thatsooner or later we will have to facethis issue. An emergency of graveeconomic importance will arise thatwill have to be met. If the Supremecourt is inclined to adopt even a mostliberal attitude, it will find that thefederal government will have nopower to deal with the emergency.At such a time people take to othermeans to get what they want.Special Student RatesWASHINGTON PARKSERVICE STATIONLubrication • Tirea - BatteriesTowinar Service5601-07 Cottage Grove Ave.ChicagoPhone Dorchester 7113Students!!Save Yi of yourLaundry BillYour entire bundle ia waahed aweet andclean in pure aoap and rain aoft water.Handkerchiefa and flat piecea ironed.Underwear, Pajamaa, Sweatera, Socks,etc., are fluff-dried ready to uae at onlylOc PER LB.Shirts De Luxe Hand Finished, starched,mended, and buttons replaced, at8c EACHwithSTUDENT ECONOMY____ bundleMetropole LaundryInc.Wesley N.

The final score ofthe game was 32-15.The Psi U’s took the lead from thestart by virtue of Upton’s bucket inthe first half minute of play. D.U.soon tightened its defense, however,and after five minutes Psi U. wasleading 7-5. A basket by Lester tiedthe score and the teams matched eachother point by point until just beforethe half when Psi U. jumped to a13-11 lead.As soon as the second half had be¬gun Psi U. found its scoring eye and,lead by Stapleton and Button, piercedthe D.U. defense to drop in two swiftshots. In the middle of the half Dick.4dair, tall D.U. center, fouled out,and his brother Bob, substituting forhim, failed to .stop the deluge of PsiU. scoring.The University championship willbe decided Tursday night in Bartlettwhen P.si Upsilon meets Hoffer’s Reds,who won the Independent crown lastweek.

Bill Chiprin led thevisitors by winning all three of hisfoil matches, riposting Captain Camp¬bell Wilson into a 5-3 loss in the fea¬ture bout, one of the best witnessedhere in recent years.Chiprin’s victories were the onlyones garnered by Illinois in foil. Chi¬cago also dominated in epee by 2^-11^. In sabre, the Illini won threeclose bouts as against one win forChicago.Along with Wilson, Leland Winterand Jim Walters each won two ofthree foils bouts. Walters gave Chi¬prin a fierce scare when he carriedtheir bout to 5-5, narrowly losing thelast, deciding point.Henry Lemon kept his epee suprem¬acy by defeating Roland, althoughmerely tying Jack.son. George Gelmanbroke even for the champions withone win and one loss.In sabre, Irving Richardson, Ma¬roon junior, quelled the flashy Kap¬lan by the score of 5-2, after Kaplanand Green had eked out three heart¬breaking decisions against LouisMarks and Ned Fritz in over-timesessions.There are still several conferencebouts to be fenced by other teams,but there is no possibility of anyschool equalling the high averageestablished by Chicago. The Illini andOhio State are still in close combatfor second place.Chicago held the conference cham¬pionship regularly before Illinoisstepped up last year. The individualchampionships will be determined ina tournament at the fieldhouse nextweek.Badgers, 40; Maroons, 32Wisconsin’s late rally against theMaroons at Madison Saturday costthe Chicago five another hard-foughtgame, 40-32. Bill Haarlow’s 17points helped keep his team in therunning until the last six minutes.A flurry of baskets, including shotsby Johnny Eggemeyer, tied the scoreat 30-30, but lanky Ed Stege led theBadgers to victory just as he did inthe previous contest between the twoteams in January.“Big Pete’’ and “Little Pete’’, thesix-foot-four Maroon Petersens, wentout on fouls in the first half. Amund¬sen flipped in two startling field goalsafter replacing the former at center;but LeFevre and Fitzgerald could notscore in Ken Petersen’s guard posi¬tion.Rossin broke away for a field goaland two free throws at the otherguard post, and Eggemeyer at for¬ward accounted for three basket.sfrom various angles.Postpone Olympic WaterBenefit Until April 8Postponement of the potentialOlympic swimmers’ water show wasannounced yesterday by E.

Chicago yearlings, however,placed second and third in the 880yd. event. John Bonniwell and Burch,last year’s Indiana champ, placed inthe event. The 440 gave all placesto the strong Iowa squad, while Law-.son in the broad jump managed toedge out a second berth with 20^feet.

In theirnext game the University men meetthe leading Swedish club’s number 1team, the outcome of which meet de¬ciding the minor league champion¬ship.In the winter tournament, themost interesting match now in prog¬ress is the Maslovitz-MacMurraytilt. MacMurray, seeded number 1,drew the first game, won the second,but the deciding game was won byMaslovitz and the match must nowgo into extra games. Maslovitz’s winwas a great upset since MacMurrayis the unofficial state champion andhas yet to be defeated in tournamentplay in the major league of the city.
