Ital¬ians assert their losses are surpris¬ingly low. To defeat and rout RasImru the Italian fourth army corpsjoined forces with the second armycorps, making the black shirt victoryin the north complete.Occupation of Abbi Addi wasachieved by the third army corps andthe native Eritrean army corps whichjoined forces.(Continued on page 2) Mussolini Bids forU.

Itdid not recommend general revisionof present income tax schedules.The revised needs of the treasurfor the present and immediate futunwere listed by Mr. Roosevelt as:1. $120,000,000 a year for nine yearto finance the bonus payment.2. $500,000,000 a year indefinitely tofinance the farm program.3. $517,000,000 to reimburse thetreasury for losses incurred with in¬validation of AAA processing taxes.Lists New RevenuesMr. Roosevelt suggested the moneybe raised in this way:1 A graduated tax on corporationsurpluses.

Comprehendingthe Comprehensives* « *By Wells D. BurnettePres. HutchinsPresident HutchinsExpresses AttitudeComprehensive examinations areNOT comprehensives, they are “gen¬eral” exai^iinations. At least this isthe opinion of Rob¬ert M. Hutchins,father of, or atleast godfather ofthe Chicago planand its examina¬tion system whichclimaxes each offour general sur¬vey courses in theCollege.I had put thequestion, “Mr. Hut¬chins, what doYOU think of theCollege comprehensive examinations,”to the University president one daylast week in his Harper office. Withintwenty minutes his concise viewpointwas delivered from the standpointof the examinations themselves, fromthe standpoint of the student, andfrom the standpoint of the University.This man has found this question asvital to him as to every student whoenters the University. To him it isa long-run proposition, while to thestudent studying at a Harper librarytable, it is an immediate problem.There only, apparently, lies the dif¬ference.“In the first place,” he proposed,“let’s agree that no examination isa good examination, but at the pres¬ent time although an examination isan evil, it is a necessary ^evil. Andremember that College examinationsare not intended to test comprehen¬sively in any one field, they are testsfor ‘general’ courses.”College Examinations SurpassOthers Used ElsewhereComing originally to criticise thecomprehensives, I was soon pul on thespot with the question, “Do you wantto know what I think of these exam¬inations? I can only speak of themin relation to examinations of otheruniversities, for after all that is theonly fair way to judge them.”He continued without waiting foran answer to his query, “When com¬pared with any examinations now inexistence, the ‘general’ examinationsare far superior. We are the onlyinstitution in the country which hasset up a separate board of examinerswhose pupose is solely to study, ex¬periment, and test examinations.“As experiments, of course, theycannot be perfect. They are not assuccessful as we could hope for, butthey are far ahead of anything elsewe know of.”The University’s head “planner”tilted back in his chair, lighted up acigarette and considered the studentangle, “I believe hat some discus¬sion on the part of the students andfaculty on this question .will be help¬ful. It must be borne in mind that weare testing upwards of 400 studentsat one time, and we must be able topick out the good from the bad, andtest on some common ground. Weadmit that we have not found theperfect method, but we are trying toimprove our systems all the time.”Examinations Might TestSyllabus Material OnlyAt this point he expressed anopinion that the examination mightbe a test of the syllabus materialonly.From the standpoint of the Univers¬ity, President Hutchins admitted thatthe question was also one of finances.Students must be tested in the bestand at the same time in the most(Coqtinued on page 2)MacMillan PublishesNew Mechanics Text“The Dynamics of Rigid Bodies,”is the title of a new book by Profes¬sor William D.

Simons, assistant professor of Econ¬omics, in the leading article of thecurrent issue of the “Journal of Po¬litical Economy.”“The monetary problem stands outtoday as the great intellectual chal¬lenge to the liberal faith,” ProfessorSimons states. “For generations wehave been developing financial prac¬tices, financial institutions, and finan¬cial structures which are incompatiblewith the orderly functioning of a sys¬tem based on economic freedom andpolitical liberty.“The liberal creed demands the or¬ganization of our economic life large¬ly though individual participation ina game with definite rules.”Considers FactorsAfter considering the many factorsof monetary control—banks, conditionsof competition an4 monopoly, cur¬rency, loans, deposits, speculation, theprice level, price indexes, foreigntrade, and tariffs—Mr. Simons con¬cludes with these statements:“1. A democratic, free-enterprisesystem implies, and requires for itseffective functioning and survival, astable frame-work of definite rules,laid down in legislation and subjectto change only gradually and withcareful regard for the vested interestsof participants in the economic game.“2. To assure adequate moral pres¬sure of public opinion against legis¬lative and administrative tinkering,the monetary rules must be definite,simple, at least in principle, and ex¬pressive of strong, abiding, pervasive,and reasonable popular'teentiments.Favors Federal Authority“3. The responsibility for carryingout the monetary rules should belodged in a federal authority, en¬dowed with large administrative pow¬ers but closely controlled in their ex¬ercise by a sharply defined policy.“4. Political control in this sphereshould be confined exclusively to regu¬lation of the quantity of money andnear-money, the direction of invest¬ment (the allocation of investmentfunds) being left to the control ofcompetition and kept as far as possibleoutside the influence of politicalagencies, or central banks.“5. A liberal program of monetaryreform should seek to effect an in¬creasingly sharp differentiation be¬tween money and private obligationsand, especially, to minimize the op¬portunities for the creation of effec¬tive money-substitutes, whether foruse as circulating media or in hoards,1.— Member United PressInterfraternityBody DiscussesRushingChangeCouncil Invites Scott andWorks to Present Univer¬sity’s Views.The Interfratemity Council lastnight considered a plan proposed bytwo of its members which would placethe intensive week of rushing in themiddle of the autumn quarter andwould also make considerable otherchanges. These included certain sched¬uled nights in the weeks before rush¬ing when fraternity men could visitfreshmen in their homes or in theirrooms so that they might get betteracquainted with them than can bedone at the open houses and lunch¬eons.Although a majority of the housesrepresented were in favor of a shorter'period before intensive rushing, veryfew showed themselves in accord withthe latter part of the plan. This pro¬posal, incidentally, is taken bodilyfrom the Dartmouth plan, but at thatinstitution the deferred period is aa full year, students being pledged atthe beginning of their sophomoreyear.List ObjectionsSeveral fraternities evidenced theirdislike for rushing before the secondquarter. They listed their objectionson the following grounds: (1) longertime is needed to get acquainted withthe freshmen; (2) the freshmen musthave a longer time to become ac¬climated to University life and theChicago plan; and (3) they feel thattoo much time is spent by fraterni¬ties in rushing.However, proponents of the shorterdeferred rushing period advanced theclaims that freshmen can be betteradjusted to college life through frat¬ernities than independently and thatthey will have the benefit of the ex¬perience of the upperclassmen amongfraternity members. Another reasonadvanced was that there is a strainedrelation between freshmen and upper¬classmen in activities, on the athleticfield, and on campus generally beforepledging.William Stapleton, president of theInterfraternity executive committee,stated that Dean George A. Worksand Assistant Dean William E. Scottwill be present at the next meetingof the council Tuesday evening topresent a detailed discussion of theadminstration’s views on the frater¬nity situation. The council, also, lastevening passed resolution “urging theparticipation of fraternity men in thePeace conference” that opens t)iisevening.Series of FigureStudies AwardedHutchins PrizeA series of figure studies by JoyTaylor, undergraduate student, wasawarded the Maude Phelps Hutchinsprize of ten dollars in the art exhibitsponsored by the Ida Noyes auxiliary.Outstanding in the series was a largemodernistic oil painting entitled“Girls.” The remaining compositionswere small water color sketches.“The series shows much promise,”remarked William G. Whitford, as¬sociate professor of Art Education,who was one of the Judges of the ex¬hibit, “The studies show sensitive¬ness to line and very good concept ofform, as well as technique of color.”The Ida Noyes Council prize of fivedollars was awarded to Reamae Herm¬an for two porcelain dishes, one inMexican and the other in Africandesign. Contributions which wereawarded honorable mention were “StillLife,” a painting by Dorothy John¬son; a painting by Rita Sure, alsoentitled “Still Life”; sculpture byOwen Fairweather; a geometric rab¬bit in plaster, by Betty Abney; anda plaster cast of a draft horse colt,“Mike,” by Virginia Carr.Other outstanding contributionswere two pieces of sculpture, “Head”and “Eve,” which was carved frotnmarble, by Charlotte Millis; and in¬vestigations of the Persian ceramicprocesses by Stella Gavrilavich, agraduate student.The judges thought that, in gen¬eral, the standard of ability was highin the work submitted. However,there was not enough work represent¬ing the student body.Page Two THE DAILY MAROON, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 4, 1936Great BritainReveals LargeArmsProgramEngland Hopes for NavalTreaty with America andFrance.(Continued from page 1)“This alternative has been choseninstead of the accumulation of vastreserves which is feasible only withinlimits and further, is ruled out by itscost.“Because the weapons and methodsof warfare are changing continually,accumulated reserves might well be¬come obsolete before required,” thegovernment said.Improves Foreign RelationsIt reaffirmed Britain’s determina¬tion to do its utmo.st to improve in¬ternational relations and promoteagreements limiting armaments butit emphasized the rising rearmamentsof Germany, Japan, Russia, Italy,France, Belgium and the UnitedStates.It cited the secrecy surroundingGermany’s rearmament and referredto continuous development of the Ger¬man air force.The paper mentioned the rise inU.

Italy and Ethiopia thuswere given one week to consider theappeal for peace.It Italy rejects it, the League’s gen¬eral committee of 18 on penalties isexpected to proceed promply to im¬pose an embargo on shipments of oilto Italy.The resolution was described offi¬cially as being “a pressing appeal tothe two belligerents for immediateopening of negotiations within theframework of the league and thespirit of the covenant.”In anticipation of probable rejec¬tion of the proposal by Italy, theLeague’s committee of oil experts willmeet during the week to devise ma¬chinery for application of the oil em¬bargo. Thus despite the week’s timegranted for Italy to reply, no timewill be lost in intensfiyng the pres¬sure of sanctions on her if she re¬jects the peace overtures.

Subtracting this amount fromthe $1,615,000,000 which it is proposedto extract from corporation surpluses,there remains approximately $620,00,-000 a year in additional revenue whichMr. Roosevelt estimated would beneeded annually for at least nineyears.The President’s proposals were as¬sailed immediately by Republicans as“sheer political bunkum.” Democratsframed their comments cautiously. In¬flationists put on their war paint andpounded the drums for “green-backs.”Summons CommitteeChairman Riobert Doughton, (D., N.C.), of the house ways and meanscommittee which must daft the newtax bill, summoned the group intosession less than an hour after Mr.Roosevelt’s message w’as read. It wasdecided to turn the problem over toa sub-committee. Doughton’s onlycomment was:“Mr. Roosevelt’s suggestions aregoing to take study.”As though sensing the reluctanceof congress to impose “new” taxesin an election year, Mr. Roosevelt em¬phasized that of the permanent tax¬ation demanded only $120,000,000could be “truthfully and correctly”said to represent new levies.W'ill Tax SurplusesHe then swung into his proposal totax corporation surpluses, a form oftax which he said would constitutean important reform, remove twomajor inequalities in the nation’s taxsystem, and “stop leaks” in presentsurtaxes.The present laws, he held, encouragecorporations controlled by taxpayerswith large incomes to hoard surplusesand thus legally avoid payment oftaxes on the accumulated money.Comprehendingthe Comprehensives(Continued from page 1)economical way.

I should like to see the finalexamifnations given at thd end oftwo years instead of one.”The time was drawing to a close,the introduction to The Daily Maroon“comprehensive” examination surveywas nearly complete.

Says nowpeople are haunting her. But onlythe other day we found her a kindredsoul in that she’d worked for theGlobe theater players while they wereat the Chicago Century of Progress.The writer worked with the companylast summer in San Diego; so webrought down our scrap book and hadquite a time recalling faces and per¬sonalities.FUNNY THING about last sum¬mer.People say “Oh! Were you with theGlobe theater players? How did thathappen?” And we tell them ourmother knew a man who knew a man,and we wanted to see what actingwas like.Then they say “Well! What did youdo?” and we smile and tell them wewere one-tenth of the mob in JuliusCaesar, a non-speaking servant inthe Taming of the Shrew, and playedviolin in a trio in Macbeth. If theyask further we say we had charge ofproperties, learned a little aboutmake-up and acting, more aboutShakespeare, and most about actorsand the profession.But there, unless they are veryclose friends, we stop.We stop because while we learnedabout Orlandos and Petruchios, wealso learned about wiping plates andsorting garbage.You see, we were out there forexpertfence. We were a young fellowseeing what acting was Tike, andweren’t to be paid till we did some¬thing special—like playing the vio¬lin. But it turned out that even whenwe did play no money came.Now experience is a fine thing, butyou can’t eat it. So we procured apaying job in an English tavern next door, wiping dishes and helping gen¬erally. Pretty soon things reached thepoint where we’d dash offstage, in fullmake-up and costume, tear into thekitchen, wipe a dozen plates, dashout and back onstage in time for thenext cue. Then in a few days wehad charge of the night cleanup crewand didn’t have to run so much. Mostof the work was done after the lastshow at the theater—till three andfour in the morning.That was where our real summer’sexperience with the Globe theaterplayers came in...the garbage sort¬ing.The Tavern made six cans of good,high grade garbage a day. It waspart of the clean-up crew’s job tosee that the city truckmen took everybit away, because if we ever got stuckwith six full cans in the morning,things would sort of back up on us.The city wouldn’t take the stuffunless it was pure: i. e., free fromglass, coffee grounds, wood andpaper.“We sells it to the farmers fer thehawgs” said the municipal man, “andthey gets awful mad if the hawg eatsbroken plates which cuts theirthroats.”During the first weeks, when theTavern was new, the kitchen forcedidn’t have things ddwn to a system,and the refuse was very impure. Soevery night for two weeks, strippedto the waist, we chanted Shakespeareas we systematically sorted six cansof garbage.There’s quite a system. If you slow¬ly roll the can, holding it at a 45degree angle, and work from the bot¬tom up with both hands you shouldbe able to do a half dozen containersin 55 minutes fiat. But always re¬member to keep the head outside andaway from the material.

Production ControlWon't Do: WallaceWASHINGTON, March 3—(UP)—Secretary of Agriculture Henry a.Wallace, on the eve of a series ofmeetings to set up the new farm aidprogram, today asserted that produc¬tion control of individual farm com¬modities “is simply not possible” un¬der the soil conservation plan.Addressing the audience of the Nu-tional Farm and Home Radio hour,Wallace said that officials hoped thatsupplies of major farm commodities“will be kept in approximate balancewith demands” as a mere by-productof "wise land use.”PICCADILLY5l8t and BlackstoneTODAY ONLYTHE MAGNIFICENTOBSESSION”withIrene Dunne, Robert TaylorStarting Saturday, Captain BloodHARPER 53nl anti Harpi-rMatinee DailyWednesday and Thursday‘‘Mutiny on the Bounty”Clark Gable — Franchot Tone,Charles LaughtonHYDE PARK uJ’;..,Wednesday and'Thursday‘ TWO FOR TONIGHT”withJoan Bennett — Bing CrosbyFASHION NUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUMBER • SPRINGBER • SPRING FASHION NUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUMION NUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUMBER • SPRING FASHISPRING FASHION NUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUMBER • SFASHION NUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUMBER • SPRINGBER • SPRING FASHION NUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUMION NUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUMBER • SPRING FASHISPRING FASHION NUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUMBER • SFASHION NUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUMBER • SPRINGBER • SPRING FASHION NUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUMSPRING FASHIONNUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUBER • SPRING FSPRING FASHIONNUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUBER • SPRING FSPRING FASHIONNUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUBER • SPRING FSPRING FASHIONNUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUBER • SPRING FION NUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUMBER • SPRING FASHISPRING FASHION NUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUMBER • SFASHION NUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUMBER • SPRINGBER • SPRING FASHION NUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUMION NUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUMBER • SPRING FASHISPRING FASHION NUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUMBER • SFASHION NUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUMBER • SPRINGBER • SPRING FASHION NUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUMION NUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUMBER • SPRING FASHISPRING FASHION NUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUMBER • SFASHION NUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUMBER • SPRINGforWomen in thePHOENIXOutMARCH 11th SPRING FASHIONNUMBER • SPRING F.\SHION NUBER • SPRING FSPRING FASHIONNUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUBER • SPRING FSPRING FASHIONNUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUBER • SPRING FSPRING FASHIONNUMBER • SPRING FASHION NUATTEND THE PEACE CONFERENCE1936 MIRROR REVUETHE DAILY MAROON, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 4, 1936 Page ThreeHistorical Review of AnnualWomen’s Show Dates from 1926Mirror revues have been asttudy development from theiy2t) venture to the gay showthat will be presented Fridayand Saturday in Mandel hall.Kxcerpts from past Daily Ma-nwris portray this growth.April, 1925\ new organization has made itsappealance in the field of c^pusdramatics. Plans for “The Mirror”,a reflection of WAA’s biennial “Port¬folio” have been completed, and theassociation, under a constitutiondrawn up by a committee appointedby the BWO, is planning to beginactive work as an independent body.The purpose of this organizationis to contribute to the artistic lifeof the campus a fine and delicate pro¬duction, which will be unique incharacter, and which will be entirelyunder the direction of women stu¬dents.February, 1926The women of the University ofChicago’s first Mirror are going tointerpret themselves—reflect them¬selves in dance, in song, in parody,in picture , . .The new show is named• Where Are We Going?”February, 1927.'iJi-ttings for the scenes vary fromStagg field to China, and college lifein all its phases w’ill be presented inanswer to the question in last yearsproduction, “Where Are We Going?”With a company numbering morethan fifty women, and a productionstaff of twenty, “Here We Are” willIm- long remembered.March, 1928.Michigan Boulevard’s skylinewith tower upon tower reaching upto a deep blue sky, and the twinklinglights of Chicagfo’s main thorough¬fare will be the setting for tht thirdannual Mirror production . . .

Through theLooking-Glasswith O’HaraBy GERTRUDE BROMBERGFormer Member of Mirror BoardEverybody said it couldn’t be done.“It”, in 1926, was just an idea,—anidea inspired by one hundred andtwenty-five University of Chicagogirls who wanted to put on a musicalshow that would be as representativeof them as Blackfriars was of themen. But, no cheers or huzzahs greet¬ed the idea. Everybody, including fac¬ulty and .students, said—“It couldn’tbe done.”That is, everybody except one man.He was Frank Hubert O’Hara, andhe thought the idea was swell. So,in all probability, would Florenz Zieg-feld, if he had been consulted. Herewas an opportunity, speaking in showvernacular, to glorify the Americancollegfe girl in general, and the Uni¬versity of Chicago girl in particular.Only, on campus it wasn’t spoken ofas “glorifying.” The idea was to “re¬flect” the college girl in her variousmoods—social, academic and profes¬sional.And so, in 1926, Mirror was born.The first all-girl production, “WhereAre We Going” came and went.Again, the consensus of opinion.“They can’t keep it up”—they, FrankO’Hara and a loyal group of girlsknown as the Mirror board. But,strangely they did. Ten Mirrors havebeen presented, and the eleventh isabout to be.In his position as University Di¬rector of Dramatic Productions,Frank O’Hara has had the full re¬sponsibility of Mirror on his should¬ers. Each year presents new obstaclesto be overcome, and he is the one whoalways has to do the overcoming.One of Frank O’Hara’s major prob¬lems has been to secure for Mirrorthe services of people who as a ruledo not undertake University produc¬tions. But following his belief thatonly the best was good enough, the di¬rector has sold Mirror to his variousas.sociates as an institution conceivednot only as edification for the Univer¬sity and its environs, but as a vitalfactor in the education of the city. Mirror Dance Director IntroducesModern Musical Comedy RoutinesMerriel Abbott,famous Chicagodance creatorwho is directingthe choruses forMirror this year,is presenting anentirely new typeof dance to Mir¬ror-goers. She isbreaking awayfrom the classi¬cal type used inshows of formeryears and is in¬troducing defin¬itely moderndances of the Mirrorkind seen in musical comedies. Thisis her first venture into universityproductions. This achievement is out¬standing in that the girls have beenable to master such a variety of steps,ranging from soft shoe, through tapand kick, to ballet.Miss Abbott is the director of theAbbott International dancers, appear¬ing nightly in the Empire room ofthe Palmer house. They may rightlyterm them.selves “international,” fortheir fame has crossed the Atlanticto such an extent as to be the onlyAmerican troupe to be re-engaged atthe Cafe des Ambassadeurs in Paris.The Abbott dancers got their startwhen Balaban and Katz, erectingtheir string of theaters in Chicago,invited Miss Abbott to supervise theballets for the chain. For six years,she composed dancing routines,trained dancers, and planned cos¬tumes for the Chicago, Tivoli, andRiviera theaters, four appearances aday—five on week-ends and holidays—and changing weekly.In addition she also did the dancenumbers for George White’s Scan¬dals, Joe Cook’s show “Fine andDandy”,'and Fred Stone’s “SmilingFaces”.Miss Abbott is a native Chicagoan,who in spite of other offers, cameback to Chicago and established her-.self to help along other Chicago girls.In private life she is the wife ofDr. Philip Lewin, Chicago orthopedicChorus Takes Time Outsurgeon. This role has helped to makeher interested in dancing as a cor¬rective for deformed children. Shehas seen dancing correct many mal¬formations due to infantile paralysisand other diseases effecting bodilydeformations.“At best a dancer’s life is short”,Miss Abbott says. So her girls are in¬duced to study other things thandancing, to take university courses,to go in a body to art exhibitions. Ifthere is a worthwhile concert, shepurchases tickets for them and de¬ducts the cost from their pay checks.Nothing isever perfectFor 1936 we offer what wethink is the finest car in Fordhistory. But no car is ever con¬sidered perfect and finishedas far as Ford engineers areconcerned. Once a year weintroduce new models—sincethat is the custom — but con-stantly we make improve¬ments in our car, for that isour lifelong habit. We don’twait for Show time to makea better car.Proof of this is the presentFord V- 8. In basic design it isalmost the same as when in¬troduced four years ago. Butin performance and economy there is no comparison be¬tween the 1932 and 1936 cars.Ford engineers do not workwith yearly models in mind.The Ford Motor Companydoes not wait for introductorydates to incorporate improve¬ments. As soon as exhaustivetests prove that a new mate¬rial is better, into productionit goes. When new machiningprocesses or new inspectionmethods are proved superior,in they go also.The purchasers get the ad¬vantage of all improvementsas soon as we are certain thatthey are improvements.FORD MOTOR COMPANY Larger ChorusesGive SpectacularDance FormationsGreater variety, more intricateroutines, and more spectacular danceformations than have ever appearedin a Mirror show will be featured inthis year’s revue according to Vir¬ginia New, student dance assistantand member of the Mirror Board.Three choruses, a kick, tap, and pony,made up of sixty to seventy dancerswill appear before the footlights. Allthese new innovations are in greatcontrast to the small choruses andmere classical dances given in pre¬vious shows.Two slow moving routines will bepresented by the kickers chorus, oneof which is simply entitled an “oldfashioned” number. Of the three taproutines, the “Ladder” dance is, per¬haps the most unusual. In this, acombination tap and kick routine, thegirls parachute up and down therungs of step ladders.A “Tiller” number and a sailorroutine, both strictly tap, will alsobe presented by the tappers and thepony chorus will present two noveltynumbers.Costumes for this year’s revue havebeen loaned to the Mirror chorusesby MeiTiel Abbott. They have allbeen designed especially for the vari¬ous dance routines.ZIEGFELDHad NothingOnMIRROR!!50 Campus Beauties20 Brilliant Scenes10 Clever SkitsFriday and Saturday Nights •March 6th and 7th •8:30 p. m. *^ A':4m.ifl imMANDEL HALLTickets55c and $1.10DAILY MAROON SPORTSPage Four DAILY MAROON SPORTS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 4, 1936TheOlympics* * «(This is the third of a series ofarticles on prominent undergraduateand alumni athletes of the Universitywhose names have been mentioned aspossible Olympic material.)By Campbell WilsonWith only one defeat on his recordin competition this year, Chicago’smodern d’Artagnan, Campell Wilson—already selected for a preliminaryOlympic squad—should stand ‘a goodchance’ to see Berlin with the Ameri¬can Olympic fencing team next sum¬mer.Commenting recently on the youngswordsman, Robert V. Merrill, fenc¬ing coach, said, “W’ilson has a lot oftalent and should stand a goodchance for the American squad, buthis lack of experience and nervous¬ness on the mat may hold him back.”* * *This nervousness has seized Wilsonmore than once in a bout, but isgradually diminishing as he fencesmore experienced opponenets. In hisbiggest meets the 20 year-old seniordepends on his dazzling speed and afast improving technique to bewilderhis opponents. According to Merrill,Wilson is not a first-class technicianbut depends on a nervous energywhere a more practical man wouldshow greater tactical capacity.The soft-spoken Texan’s record isalmost as impressive as that of ChuckWilson, Maroon swimmer. He tookup fencing in his freshman year atLos Angeles Junior College, and threesummers later beat Hugh Alessan-droni, national foil champion in 1934.* ♦ ♦Daily practices in Bartlett underAlvar Hermanson, assistant fencingcoach, and constant workouts in com¬petition have made Wilson a realthreat in national foil circles. Lastsummer three titles fell to the swords¬man and he was chosen one of 50fencers to form part of a preliminaryOlympic squad. In November thesquad was cut to 39 with Wilson stillamong those favored.The Amateur Fencing League ofAmerica saw a lot of Wilson lastsummer. In June he beat his arch¬opponent Bill Chiprin of Illinois inboth the preliminary and final boutsof the state meet to fight his way tothe championship in foil and epee.The Middle Western championship fellto the Maroon fencer at St. Lx)uis,when he won the foil crown of theA.F.L.A.
