UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, THURSDAY, MAY 28, 1936 Member United PressAnglo-ItalianAmity Soughtby MussoliniDictator Holds SanctionsChief Block to New Un¬derstanding.LONDON, May 27—(UP)—Prem¬ier Benito Mussolini, in an interviewwith the London Daily Telegraph to¬day, urged renewed Anglo-Italianfriendship in the interests of worldpeace.“Not only is Anglo-Italian rappro¬chement desirable, but it is neces¬sary,” il duce was quoted as saying.Sanctions Stand in Way“And for my part, I will do every¬thing in my power to accomplish it.Relations between British and Italianauthorities in Africa have alwaysbeen and should continue to be cor¬rect.”Mussolin reiterated, however, thatLeague of Nations sanctions againstItaly continue to stand in the pathof any agieement.“So long as sanctions continue,Italy cannot adopt any political initia¬tive regarding a mediterranean agree¬ment,” il duce was quoted. “Whensanctions are ended, we shall examinethese problems with a desire to reachan understanding and with a spirit ofcollaboration and peace.”No Designs on Balkan-sIl duce said the smaller Mediter¬ranean states “have absolutely noth¬ing to fear” from Italy’s imperialisticpolicy.“Italy has treaties of friendshipwith Turkey and Greece and she is de¬termined to observe them,” he said.Regarding a possible “black army”which Italy might mobilize among thenatives of Ethiopia, Mussolini said,“thirty seven classes can be mobilizedin Italy; namely 8,000,000 soldiers.We do not need a black army either inAfrica or Europe.“We are still studying the problemof commercial relations of our empirewith foreign states and we shall findfor this a moderate and tolerant so'lution.”Mus.«olini reiterated that British in¬terests in the Lake Tana region ofnorthwestern Ethiopia will be respect¬ed.

It was anticipated that the trialswill be used to fire Nazi anti-Catholicpropaganda on an even larger scalethan employed when large numbers ofmonks, priests, nuns and other ec¬clesiastics were tried for alleged vio¬lations of Germany’s currency regu¬lations.The monks will be tried in smallgroups so that the trial will be pro¬longed to provide anti-Catholic propa¬ganda over a long period.Kill 20 Rebels inMexican InsurrectionMEXICO CITY, May 27—(UP) —Twenty rebels were killed today whena band of 40 clashed with federaltroops near El Cerro, the newspaperDa Prensa reported from Guana-J uato.Rebel survivors of the battle, in¬cluding their chief, El Conejo, (therabbit), fled into the mountains, leav¬ing their dead and wounded on thefield.

Thurstone of theUniversity announced last night thathe had discovered “seven prime ele¬ments of intelligence” through whichit is possible to obtain a person’s“mental profile.”The elements, which combine tomake up an individual’s mental ca¬pacity, he named as:1 Number facility—“Many other¬wise intelligent individuals seem tohave a mental blind spot in dealingwith numbers.”2 Word fluency—“Some forms ofaphasia (memory loss) may involvethis mental primary.”3 Visualizing ability—“Includesthe visualizing of solid objects as wellas flat space.”Memory a Factor4 Memory—“These experimentalfindings agree with the common ob¬servation that people of superior in¬tellect sometimes reveal supprisinglypoor memory.”5 Perceptual speed—“The abilitythat enables some people to scan apage of names or numbers to find aparticular item quickly while othersmust examine each item seperately.”6 Induction—“Involved in severaltasks in which the subject must dis¬cover some principle or rule that gov¬erns the material.”7 Verbal reasoning or deduction—“The subject is asked to match pro¬verbs or quotations which have thesame meaning or make numerical es¬timates which require deductive rea¬soning.”System Reveals DefectsPrevious intelligence tests havegiven a combined view of a person’smental ability, it was pointed out,whereas the “mental profile” wouldreveal particular defects or talents.This would be of special value in vo¬cational guidance. Dr. Thurstone, whois editor of intelligence tests for theAmerican Council on Education, de¬clared.“Unsuspected talent might be dis¬covered by rating people on each pri¬mary element of intelligence.”THE ABCs{Contributions to The ABCswill be accepted by the editor.)HUMAN BEHAVIORI remember in frequent discussionswith my master***having occasion totalk of lying and false representation,it was with much difficulty that hecomprehended what I meant, althoughhe had otherwise a most acute judg¬ment. For he argued thus: that theuse of speech was to make us under¬stand one another, and to receive in¬formation of facts; now if any onesaid the thing which was not, theseends w'ere defeated; because I can¬not properly be said to understandhim; and I am so far from receivinginformation, that he leaves me worsethan in ignorance, for I am led to be¬lieve a thing black when it is white,and short when it is long. And thesewere all the notions he had concern¬ing that faculty of lying, so perfectlywell understood among human crea¬tures.Jonathan Swift, Gulliver’s Travels.

Townsend and two ofhis officers be cited for contempt andturned over to the U. S. attorney fortrial.If convicted, Dr. Townsend and hisaides face fines of $100 to $1000 or upto one year in jail or both.The committee acted after Sheridan Downey, Townsend’s attorney,defied it by saying he would nottestify. Although the committee failedto act on Downey, Chairman C. Jasper Bell (D., Mo.) said he had “notbeen forgotten.“Two Dissenting VotesThe vote was 0 to 2 for citation.Two members of the committee. RepsJohn H. Tolan, (D., Calif) and Sam¬uel L. Collins, (R., Calif.) votedagainst it. Punishment of the agedCalifornia physician for walking outon the investigation now rests withthe House.“I hope the House will effect anearly disposition of the matter,’’ saidthe defiant leader of the $200-a-monthpension scheme who has asserted hewould “rot in jail’’ rather than an¬swer any more questions of the Houseinvestigators.Speaker Joseph W. Byrns said theHouse would probably act on the com¬mittee’s recommendations tomorrowas soon as it convened.Defies CommitteeTownsend stalked out of the Houseinquiry last Thursday. He retired toBaltimore where he issued defiantstatements and challenges. One wasan order to Townsend officers not totestify despite subpoenas. Dr. ClintonWunder, eastern regional director,and J. B. Kiefer, mid-west nationaldirector, followed the doctor’s in¬structions and were included in thecontempt recommendations.The action was announced after ahearing session at which Albert G.Hart, University of Chicago econo¬mist, attacked economic soundness ofthe Townsend plan. New British Liner Bids for SpeedCrown on First Atlantic CrossingAboard the S. S. Queen Mary enroute to New York, May 27—(UP) —The super liner Queen Marj^, prideof the British merchant marine,ploughed through a calm sea at 30knots an hour tonight, racing to NewYork to bring the blue ribbon ofnorth Atlantic passenger service backto Great Britain.Officers and officials of the Cunard-White Star line, owner of the greatcraft, would not admit that the QueenMary is seeking a new trans-Atlanticrecord, but with wind and weatherfavoring her she was expected tosteam majestically up the Hudsonriver next Monday, reestablishingBritish ocean supremacy.The Queen Mary, with more than250,000 proud Britons looking onsteamed out of Southampton at4:32 P. M. Many of those who came to see the Queen Mary make her bidfor supremacy, now held by the Nor¬mandie of the French line, had de¬serted their jobs and forsaken thehistoric derby, close to every Briton’sheart.The Queen Mary has 2,100 pas¬sengers, a crew of 1,000 and 5,000bags of mail. She is commanded bySir Edgard Britten, commodore ofthe Cunard-White Star line.When the hearing opened, namesof the missing witnesses were calledand when they failed to answer theclerk was instructed to note their ab¬sence. Then former Sen. ThomasHardwick of Georgia, counsel for theTownsend movement, attempted toinsert a statement by Downey in therecord. The committee received itbut did not permit it in the record.The statement contained the attor¬ney’s refusal to answer the commit¬tee’s subpoena.Hart’s TestimonyHart, 27-year-old economics in¬structor, was one of a group of Chi¬cago economists who published apamphlet on the economic meaningof the Townsend plan. He said Town-sendites grossly over-estimated thenumber of transactions conducted inthe United States on which they pro¬posed a 2 per cent transactions taxto raise $24,000,000,000 annually.Townsendites, he said, based theirfigures on 1,200,000,000,000 transac¬tions in 1929, whereas actually therewere only an estimated 300,000,000,-000 of the type they proposed to tax.In addition, he pointed out, 1929business conditions do not obtain now. i Seek Quick Actionon Deficiency-ReliefMeasure in CongressWASHINGTON, May 27—(UP) —Senate leaders tonight geared forswift action this week on the $2,368,-580,044 deficiency-relief bill—one oftwo controversial measures that“must” reach the White House with¬in the next nine days if the drive foradjournment by Jyine 6 is to succeed.The bill, which appropriates $1,-425,000,000 for President Roosevelt todistribute in the New Deal work-i*e-lief program, was reported favorablytoday by the Senate appropriationscommittee.Democratic leaders planned tobring the bill up for action in theSenate tomorrow and believed itcould be passed before the week-end,clearing the way for considerationnext week of the tax bill—the other“must” measure.A major committee revision in theHouse version of the relief bill pro¬vides that President Roosevelt shallhave entire control over the $1,425,-000,000 fund instead of Harry L.Hopkins whose Works Progress ad¬ministration will spend most of themoney.The Senate group also approved aplan, designed to end a drive for“ear-marking” part of the appropria¬tion to Harold L. Ickes’ Public Worksadministration, under which WPAcould be permitted to make grants aswell as loans from its $250,000,000RFC revolving fund.A CORNER FOR READERS(Xote: Juan Homa icas a stu¬dent at the University last year.He is now at the Ciudad Universi-teria, Mailrid.)TO ONE living in Madrid, it isnot very apparent that one is liv¬ing in the second most radicallyruled country in the world. Therehas been little actual change inthe capital. In various parts ofSpain, however, the governmenthas actually started to apportionout small farms to the workerswho once tilled the same soil foras little as twenty cents a day.Skilled agricultural engineers areassisting the government in thisenterprise, and I imagine that intime the government plans to dothe same with all the land inSpain. There are several factoriesand mines in northern Spain thatare already being run on a co¬operative basis, but I imagine thatit will be some time before thegovernment will have taken overall of the private enterprises.Whatever actions the govern¬ment decides as necessary to fulfillthe demands of the majority itrepresents will be all right as faras I am concerned. I find it im¬possible to sympathize with theSpanish aristocrats and capital¬ists. For centuries they have bledthe Spanish workers to accumu¬late huge fortunes which weresafeguarded in Parisian banksagainst just such events as arehappening in Spain today. TheyTaunted their wealth before theirworkers, goaded them into upris¬ing, and then beat them like beaststo keep them humiliated andtamed. Slowly through the centu¬ries there grew up a vidlent hatredbetween the aristocrats and theworkers. What it happening inSpain today is no more than whathappened in France in 1789 and inRussia some twenty years ago.I AM neither a Socialist nor aCommunist. I believe thatevery man should have the ojipor-tunity to make better or makeworse of the position that has fall-(n his lot at birth. I still am un¬der the belief that a reformeddemocracy, tempered by a spirit ofjustice and humanitarianism, isby far the type of governmentmost suitable to man.The Communists burned threechurches in Madrid yesterday. Atthis point, I w'ish to say somethingabout the so-called “atrocities”that the Communists have been ac¬cused of during the last few A Student’s Picture of SpainBy Juan Moms^Jr.months here in Spain. I havelead several articles in Americanpapers about these “atrocities,”and as far as I know there hasbeen no exaggeration. Many willprobably wonder why the particu¬lar enmity against the churches.I do not attempt to defend theCommunists’ action, but merelyto explain them.The church has always beenpowerful in Spain. There havebeen times in the history of Spainwhen the spiritual ruler actuallypossessed more power over theSpanish people than their politicalruler. There have been times ofgreat rivalry between the king andthe church, but in more recent cen¬turies there has been a spirit ofco-operation for mutual benefit be¬tween the church and the rulingclass. The aristocrats realizedthat they could play their cardsbetter with the church rather thanagainst it, so between the two ofthem they managed to keep theworking class to the grindstone,while they both grew fat and wal¬lowed in wealth. So we see thatthrough the centuries, the church,although not quite so obviously,has played almost as much of apart in the suppression and ex¬ploitation of the workers as havethe aristocrats. And through thecenturies, the hatred of the work¬ing class has grown to include thearistocrats and the churchmen.Some will say unjustly, but I saynot.I cite the actual words of aCatholic friend of mine as a vividaccusation of the church’s culpa¬bility:Am a Catholic, and naturallyL will always be a Catholic, re¬gardless of political movements inmy country. I deeply regret theburning of the churches and theviolation of the convents, but Iunderstand the reason for theseacts, and I confess to you that Ido not blame the Communists en¬tirely.“You come from a new country,but already certain men in yourcountry have accumulated hugefortunes. They have more moneythan they need to provide fortheir own comforts, so they begin to think about comforts for otherl>eople. After careful thought,they decide to donate a milliondollars to build up a free medicalcenter in the poor section of somelarge city. Here the poorer peo¬ple of the city are able to receivemedical care at a very small sum.//QJPAIN, too, has huge fortunes,O fortunes that received theirfirst impetus with gold broughtback from Mexico and Peru.Others have been created more re¬cently with the coming of the f.ac-tory system and the exploitationof the workers. The owners ofthese fortunes are very religiousand devout; before dying theywish to do something for thechurch. They go to the bishop oftheir city and tell him they wishto make a gift of about a millionpesetas to the church. Whereuponthe bishop suggests that it wouldbe nice if they had another gold-plated virgin to put in that barecorner, and so within severalmonths a shining gold virgin isinstalled in the bare corner.Everyone comes to see the newornament, and remarks as to thejiiety and humility of our ‘philan¬thropist,’ that is everyone exceptthe four hundred starving work¬ers, who kneel before the beauti¬ful gold virgin and pray that to¬morrow may bring them work sothat they can feed their starvingfamilies. The next day a groupof workers go to our ‘philanthrop¬ist’ and beg him to give them workat two or three pesetas a day.The ‘philanthropist’ is very sorrybut he already has enough work¬ers and he won’t be able to usethem for another several months.“Several months later a group ofhunger-crazed workers band to¬gether and burn several churches.The morning following the ‘atroc¬ities,’ Catholics all over the worldare shocked to read in their morn¬ing papers of the Savage Destruc¬tion of Spanish Churches, andCrazed Communists Destroy Fam¬ous Art Treasures. The newspa¬pers use the word ‘crazed’, but thenewspapers never give the reasonfor their madness, and so thetruth is never really known to themajority of newspaper readers.” Predict Defeatof RooseveltTax ProposalWASHINGTON, May 27—(UP)Defeat of two administration tax pro¬posals embracing rates reaching ashigh as 60 per cent on corporate in¬come appeared certain tonight as therevolting Senate finance committeeprepared to vote tommerow on moremoderate provisions of a “compro¬mise” revenue bill.The “Compromise” was rejected byPresident Roosevelt as inadequate ata White House conference with Dem¬ocratic committee members. It con¬tains a flat corporation income tax of18 per cent and a 7 per cent tax onundivided corporate profits.Propose Higher TaxesTreasury experts estimated the billwould raise $560,000,000 of the $620,000,000 in additional permanent reve¬nue sought by the president. An 80per cent windfall tax on unpaid or re¬funded AAA processing levies wouldraise $82,000,000 of the additional$517,000,000 demanded in temporaryrevenue.The ire of rebellious democrats waswhipped to new heights late todaywhen treasury experts submitted twonew plans said to coincide with Presi¬dent Roosevelt’s views on impositionof graduated taxes on undivided cor¬porate profits in an effort to force outmore earnings in dividends.

MAY 28, 1936 Page ThreeEditorialObjectivication of Social ScienceDampens Student InterestThe fact that students enter thesocial sciences presupposes a more orless technical interest in the subjectmatter of the field. Similarly, stu¬dents who do not go into the field haveno such technical interest. But theydo have a definite, though still ill-de¬fined and vague, opinion about social,political, and economic questions. Itis this other type of students whomthe social science administrators havefailed to consider in their elaborateprogram, aiming toward the creationof a science of social studies.* * •At a time when those non-socialscience students are experiencing adefinite interest in matters theoreti¬cally peculiar to the social sciences,the increasing objectivication of so¬cial studies becomes imminent. In nottoo many years, we will be unable tothink of the social sciences dissociatedfrom statistical studies, indexes, high¬ly-generalized formulae and “laws.”With the advent of statistical mate¬rial, particularly in sociology, andgeneralizations on political action, asin the case of political science stu¬dent interest can scarcely be height¬ened.The basis for the increasing objec¬tivication of the social studies lies inthe desire of the newer school of so¬cial specialists to reduce their studiesto a one-dimensional field of action inorder to facilitate research, improve¬ment, and supervision of social “badspots.” But by doing this they killany fascination which the materialmay have for the non-social sciencestudent. After all, according to themore modern theories of education, in¬terest ought to be aroused by an ap¬peal to the thought processes ratherthan to the all-too-frequently-absentlove for pure science. When a socialproblem is reduced to a scientificquestion it excludes other studentswho are equally interested in suchproblems; hence it becomes less im¬portant that it be thoroughly scien¬tific. It is perfectly true, that statis¬tical surveys and generalizationsmight be a means of coordinating pop¬ular interest along common lines, butthis can be accomplished only at theexpense ol reducing the field of effec¬tive common participation in socialaction.* • *The true aim of the social sciencesshould be the furthering of this stu¬dent interest in the corrective meth¬ods of social maladjustment by meansof providing a medium through whichstudent opinion might be fostered, notthrottled by a maze of generalizationsand statistical surveys. Under themodern conception of the social sci¬ences, which presupposes a more orless specific knowledge of the still ne¬bulous “laws” of the social studies,effective action cannot be stimulated.This is the problem which faces thesocial scientist of today—the problemwhich he so far has neglected.The sharpening of a wide studentinterest in the social, economic andpolitical problems cannot be accom¬plished through any attempt of thesocial administrators to set up gen¬eralized laws and formulae explainingsocial action, but only through a de¬crease in the use of meaningless (tothe average students not technicallyinterested in them) statistical surveyson social problems and a more spar¬ing use of generalized formulae and“laws” in problems of political ac¬tion,—James Snyder.Dean Spencer Speaksat School GraduationWilliam H.

Letters tothe EditorORIENTATIONEditor, Daily MaroonDear Mr. Nicholson:In answer to Mr. Burnette’s edi¬torial in yesterday’s Daily Maroon,may I say that the gentleman doesnot fully understand the problemwhich men face in freshman orienta¬tion. As it looks at present, the faulthas not been so much with the sys¬tem under which the men haveworked as with the personnel whohave handled the counselors and withthe counselors themselves.Disregarding any oversight madeby previous committees, let us seewhy a federation for men on thesame scale as that of the women ises.sentially unnecessary. The first ad¬vantage pointed out was that women’sorientation is non-club and thereforeon a higher plane than men’s. Weask you merely to consider the com-jparative strength of the clubs andfraternities in relation to other tnen\iand women’s organizations on cam¬pus; we find that there is nothing inthe men’s group similar to the wo¬men’s organizations such as WAAand BWO. Fraternities are the veryheart of men’s activities and it istherefore quite natural for them tohave the primary responsibility forany control of men’s orientation.Whenever there is found a non-organ¬ization man who is desirous of par¬ticipating in school activities, he ismore than welcomed. To substantiatethis, we have only to point to thepresent committee which has as as¬sistant to the chairman a non-fra¬ternity man.* « *The second point about the trainingof counselors is in part valid, but thisyear there will be sent to each coun¬selor detailed instructions as to whatthey must do, and the orientationcommittee will be responsible forchecking with each counselor to seethat he is properly performing hisfunctions.The third criticism and accompany¬ing recommendation are not valid, be¬cause the problem of men’s orienta¬tion is essentially unlike that of thewomen. Boys should not be taken careof to the same degree as girls, sincethey are naturally more independentand are u.sed to having more free¬dom. The parents of boys do not ex¬pect someone to meet tKeir sons atthe train or to watch after them.Neither do the boys desire to be tiedto any such apron strings and wouldprobably react negatively to anycoun.selor who wished to take care ofhim in this manner “from the mo¬ment (he) reached the dormitory un¬til the end of the first week, and evenmuch later. .” In order to facilitatecontacts, however, plans have beenmade for 'the coun.selors to live in thedormitory during Freshman Week.Finally, better cooperation betweenmen’s and women’s orientation groupsis being promoted by having the headof Federation a member of the Stu¬dent Social committee along with thehead of men’s orientation, A longerorientation program, extendingthrough the fall quarter, is alreadybeing planned by these groups.Henry CutterChairman, Student SocialcommitteeMISSING NAMEPLATESEditor, Daily Maroon, ^Dear Mr. NicholsonIt was very kind of the culpritsof doubtful parentage who stole theplaques from the Woodlawn avenuefraternity houses to return them laktMonday evening. They had been miss¬ing only a month (roughly from thetime of the Blackfriar production),and we were glad to see them backagain.It was also very kind of our rah-rah boys to lift these same name¬plates Tuesday night, the same nightthe Blackfriars produced their sec¬ond production at the Selwyn theater.Unfortunately the mortar was notyet dry and the boys had no excite¬ment in taking them again; one lit- GulliverGives Lowdown on Blackfriars’Orange ThrowingBy CODY PFANSTIEHLTODAY’S PHOENIX WILL createcomment, if only among Blackfriars.And perhaps, to pun. Comment willcreate Phoenix in next year’s merger.Anyway, the usually flat Phoenixfinds itself possessor of a bump inthe form of Henry (I am Right)Reese’s condemnation of Blackfriars.Reese is, of course, correct in his the¬sis. Blackfriars deserve panning. ButReese or no Reese, Blackfriars showsnaturally go in cycles...and a lot ofpeople will get on and ride next year—and have a swell time doing it.♦ * *“JUST TRY TO picture zero” saidprofessor Nerlove to his class in thebusiness school. “The symbol we useis all wrong. We should denote zeronot as a circle, but as nothing with¬out the circle.”♦ ♦ ♦THE AUDIENCE DIDN’T evencrack a smile at a loop stage show’when high above the stage a maidenhung to a fellow who hung by hisknees from a trapeze and the orches¬tra swung into “Let Yourself Go.”IT WAS INTERESTING, in a sortof a way, to see what the newspapersdid to the Blackfriar Orange Throw’-ing mess at the Selwyn theatre Tues¬day night. We were there—and, ina few words, here’s what happened:At the end of the first act a playerasks for an orange, and, failing tofind one, says in effect “What sort ofan apartment is this—no oranges!”.The curtain falls, and there is a fiveminute intermission.A small group of the boys, in trueJoe-College style and beyond them¬selves with beer, came back at thestart of the second act fortified witha dozen oranges “in case he asks for’em again”. He didn’t ask for thembecause the script didn’t include theline again.Just before the final curtain of theexcellent play one orange flew; at thesecond curtain call four flew, and thefive or six offenders slipped out. Theactors, righteously indignant, askedthe audience to catch the culprits.We rose with the other 46, andwalked out with an angry crowd. Wearrived at the fraternity house justin time to answer the phone as theTribune campus correspondent calledfor Kendall, retiring abbot. Kendall,having left the show after the firstact, wasn’t home yet, but we gavethe story to the paper—as we havegiven it to you.So it started. Other papers en¬larged on the Tribune’s version, andat the time of writing the Daily Newsclaims all 60 friars originally cameloaded with “oranges, grapefruit, andlemons”. And after they had thrownthem, all 60 “hastily departed”. Welearn that the story is on the A.P.wires, and so nation-wide.Blackfriars sent an apology, the of¬fenders will be severally reprimanded,and “Awake and Sing” accidently getsfront-page publicity.A couple or five drunks can starta lot of ruckus.tie tug and they were gone.The first time this sort of thinghappened it was very mysterious andhumorous. However the practise isgetting a bit tiresome and expensive.Bronze plaques cost anywhere fromsix to twelve dollars; and no house,no matter how many industrialistsare listed among their alumni, canwell afford to buy several a year. Andthen it costs two or three dollars tomortar a plate in the wall each timeit is stolen and finally returned.Common decency should influencethe recent culprits to return thename-plates and leave them returned.The practise of whitewashing build¬ings and stealing trophies andplaques by honor (?) societies andBlackfriars has gone far enough. Itmay be necessary to use firmer meth¬ods than words in the future.Fraternity Member 5th RowCenterBy C. Sharpless HickmanIt would seem we gentlemen fromCalifornia—to judge from HenryReese’s criticism of Blackfriars in thecurrent issue of Phoenix—stick to¬gether when it comes to slinging vi¬triol in the usually bland physio¬gnomies of campus dramatic activi¬ties.For Mr. Reese is actually so naive,so tactless and so brusque as to feelthat Blackfriars is not all that itmight justifiably be. Wiser soulsmight in advance have warned Mr.Reese that such reckless tactics aresure to put him in the critical dog¬house when it comes to further writ¬ing for campus publications. Morethan this, Mr. Reese has even gone sofar as to attack campus publicationsfor their “live and let live” attitudein reviewing the histrionic tactics ofthe University. When they tell methat Mr. Reese is the “bad boy” ofthe campus returned to haunt the mid¬way I can well see why politicallyminded souls might thus characterizehim.Despite the fact that Mr. Reese hasbeen so foolish as to dare to stick apin in our balloon of self-complacence,I can wish him enough good to hopethat, if he is returned to haunt themidway, he is not the ghost on Phoen¬ix’ ghastly cover for this, their expir¬ing issue.Mr. Reese seems to have slight crit¬ical acumen. He states that his arti¬cle is “a criticism as criticism mighthave been had the purpose of Black¬friars been to present an evening’sentertainment”. I suppose he meansan evening’s entertainment from theaudience’s viewpoint. However, anyperson save a fool should know thatsuch is not Blackfriar’s purpose. Itis to have one swell time prancingaround on the stage with an addition¬al few kicks coming from the cuttingloose on the last night and t’ ^ post-seasonal orange-throwing .ocktail party at the Selwyn Theater.Mr. Reese bewails the fact thatBlackfriars has turned into a revue.He claims that it has departed fromits original purpose of musical comedyor operetta such as traditionally givenby the Princeton Triangle Club andother allied organizations. But Ifear that Mr. Reese has overlookedjust how worthy of such detonatingdamnation Blackfriars would becomewere they to even attempt a coherentmusical comedy. After all, Mr. Reese,have pity on we who must sit throughthe show!I think that Mr. Reese has overlook¬ed notable points in the Blackfriarsperformance. There was Mitzi May-fair, for instance. True, Mitzi didn’tactually appear in the show, but al¬most as many and certainly bettersatisfied persons saw her before theevent, when she painstakingly andrather futilely sought for a pair oflegs comparable to hers among theblushing beauties of the chorus. Andthen, too, there was the snow-whitetruck which paraded slowly throughthe streets attracting our unsatiatedattention whilst it blabbed of Black¬friars’ benefits. You will have to ad¬mit, Mr. Reese, that this stunt wasalmost as good as broadcasting BennyGoodman’s swing (it into the lake)music from the Registrar’s office forpublicizing the Washboard Prom.I would suggest that Blackfriarsnext year ask Mr. Reese to write thebook for the show. It would seemthat his past experiences as co-authorhave done little to bring him to thatmellowly and quiescently disappoint¬ed state of current should-have-beenauthor Hyman.But I am not the only person tocensor Mr. Reese for his suspicionthat the gaudy gracefulness of Black¬friars is sterile in its artistry. Hisown editor, omniscient Donald Mor¬ris, dread and dreadful director of adying sheet, has succintly and per¬sonally phrased the case of Mr. Reesewhen he subtly indicates that a manwho is loud, spiteful, vituperative,adolescent and a pathetic striver forlove cannot possibly be anything savea crudely connotative critic.

As a result of thisinterest, the game is increasii^ theall-around ability of the players; es¬pecially is this true of college base¬ball. Their fielding, base running, bat¬ting, and pitching arc highly com¬mendable and what is more it is.steadily impoving in a very convinc¬ing manner.After my first trip to Japan in192.5 I thought that they had reachedthe i>€ak of interest. But on the con¬trary, I found five years later thatthere had been considerable growthin its popularity, as well as in thematter of proficiency of the ball teams.The keen rivalry which results inclose games among the six teams oftbe university league has taken thefancy of the fans and their interestin greater in this series than it is inany series with a foreign team. Whilegames with American colleges some¬times bring out crowds of about 25,-000, the crucial contests between theTokyo universities have been knownto attract a thx'ong of 40 to 50 thou¬sand spectators. In the ca.se of thechampionship series in the fall of1929, between Waseda and Keio, theyhad a sell-out for both games, whichmeant between 50 and 60 thousandpeople at each game.* «Naturally, such interest is due tothe keen rivalry developed throughthe excellent performances of themembers of the league. There is nodoubt in my mind that only a cham¬pionship college team can win morethan half of its games with Meiji,Waseda and Keio, as they are play¬ing ball today. The day is past whena college team can make a cleansweep of the .series in Tokyo, unless itis a team of extraordinary caliber.Rea.sons for this remarkable devel¬opment of the Japanese teams are nothard to find. The candidates for theuniversity teams confine themselvessolely to baseball. It is the cherishedambition of almost every Japaneseboy to becme a member of one of thevarsity teams. By doing so, oneachieves a national prominence, andhe is idolized in his own community.To this end the youth strives to learnall he can about the game and develophis skill to the utmost.The teams play practically the en¬tire year. They have two .seasons, onein the spring and one in the fall.Each lasts for about a month and ahalf. Thus they declare a spring anda fall champion. There is also a win¬ter program of intensive practice invogue in which the teams spend abouttwo weeks in training at some healthresort in southern Japan, where theclimate is conducive to outdoor play.This is made possible becau.se of theirwinter vacation. The practice sessionsare intense and long; often as much*as four hours daily are devotedto practice to increase the skill ofteam members.Badger Squad PlaysAnnual Spring GridContest on SaturdayMadison—Football may be “out ofseason” at every other university inthe country but it will be decidedlyin the spotlight at Wisconsin, whenthe Badger squad goes on display inthe spring game to be played at CampRandall stadium, Saturday afternoon.Thousands of football devotees willtake this, their first, opportunity, tolook over the squad which head coachHarry A. Stuhldreher and his staff—Bob Reagan, Frank Jordan and FredTwomey—have been drilling for thepast month.Coach Stuhldreher and his aideshave divided the squad as evenly aspossible in order to make the springgame a real contest. Following an oldWisconsin tradition, the rival teamswill be called the Army and the Navy.This contest will have more thanthe usual significance attaching to aspring game because none of thecoaching staff ha.s ever seen a singlemember of the squad in actual com¬petition. Twenty-Eight toReceive Major ‘C’The winners of sports awards forthe spring quarter were announcedyesterday by T. Nelson Metcalf. Ma¬roon director of athletics. Included inthe list were 28 major “C” awards, 12old English “C’s”, and .31 numeralawards to freshmen.The sport receiving the largestnumber of major awards was base¬ball, in which twelve men earned their“C.” Those getting the honors be¬sides co-captains Dick Cochran andBill Haarlow in this sport were HarryYedor, Connor Laird, Joseph Kacena,Henry Trojka, Robert Shipway, Mil-ton Bernard, Joe Mastrofsky, FrenchWhite, Roy Soderlind, and A.

Co¬captain Jay Berwanger, Stuart Abel,John Beal, Ray Ellinwood, DavidGordon, George Halcrow, MatthewKobak, Edward Krause, Nat Newman,Theron Steele, and Jack Websterwere the tracksters honored.Big Ten singles champion NormanBickel, and his co-champion in thedoubles Robert Burgess, and HerbertMertzand John Shostrom, finalists inthe conference net meet, won major“C” awards in tennis. All four win¬ners will be back again next year.Sole winner of a major award ingolf was Captain Edward Boehm.Boehm was injured in an automobileaccident and was unable to partici¬pate in the two last dual meets of theconference tournament, but receivedthe letter in recognition of his abilityand captaincy of the squad.Old English WinnersWinners of the old English awardin track were co-captain QuintinJohnstone, John Ballinger, DanielSmith, Harold LaBelle, and RichardWasem. Sol Freedman and RussellBaird in tennis, Maurice Neimann andAvrum Gold .in baseball, and HiramLewis, John Gilbert, and FrankCarey in golf also won this award.Baseball outdistanced the otherspoi’ts in number of numeral winners.Sweaters were awarded to 16 year¬ling sluggers.Freshman WinnersTh'^re are several outstanding ath¬letes in the 1939 crew which wasawarded the numerals and varsitysquads are expected to be bolsteredconsiderably next year by the sopho¬more reserve material.

It con¬sists entirely of volleying and is ex¬tremely fast. Experts in both sportscontend that it takes more stayingpower in a singles set of badmintonthan in one of lawn tennis.VACATION POSITIONFor Capable College StudentRefined, Plea.sant, Healthful WorkSalary: $200.00 for 80 Daya |Write, Post Office Box 399, Chicago I When the University rifle clubplunked out a victory against Whea¬ton college, it climaxed a year’s activ¬ities, which, both in scope and quality,surpassed those of any previous sea¬son in the history of the organization.By competing in meets at every op¬portunity, the club has earned a namefor itself among the nation’s riflemen.Under the expert tutelage of CarlHenrikson, assistant dean of theSchool of Business, amateurs whohad never handled a gun before devel¬oped into proficient marksmen. Out¬standing discoveries of the year forcoach Henrikson were three feminineprodigies, June Suarez, Rosalie Stech,and Margaret Conger, who all talliedscores worthy of a veteran the firsttime they undertook to pierce the di¬minutive target.,500 AverageDuring the current school year,teams were entered in four dual meets.The club came out of these fourfrays with a .500 percentage.Victories were scored over ArmourTech and Wheaton college, but theclub was unable to cope with the ex¬perienced marksmen of the CastlePost of the American Legion and theMidway Rifle club. Club teams werealso entered in open tournaments heldfor riflemen in the Chicago area.Outstanding activity of the club forthe year was the sponsoring of a gi¬gantic indoor meet in the field house,open to all riflemen, both collegiateand other amateur shooters. The longrange available in the field house gave the contestants a chance to see whattheir weapons and ammunition coulddo under ideal conditions. Accordingto an official of the National Rifle as¬sociation, this meet is destined to be¬come the “annual indoor classic of theUnited States.” Plans have been madeto make the meet next year evenlarger and more efficiently conductedthan this year’s initial experiment,and an elaborate system for the im¬mediate recording and tabulation ofscores will be provided.1936-37 ProspectsProspects for next year are ex¬ceptional, as only three members willbe lost by graduation. This will giveHenrikson an experienced squadaround which to expand the activitiesof the club. That the club will con¬tinue to enjoy a steady growth forthe next few years is forecast by thepredominance of freshmen on theteams which have competed this year.Not much was done in the field ofpistol shooting the past season, butplans are being made for an activeschedule for next year. Several pis-tolmen have been reporting faithfullyfor practice and will form the nucleusof the new squad.Blakemore Dining Room62.30 Kimbark Ave. Dor. 8222LUNCH 25c—60cDINNER 50c—75cSUNDAY DINNER 50c—75cHome Cooking Our Speciality Two Advance inNet TournamentBattling under a blazing sun,Jimmy Ware and Johnny Kreiten-stein advanced to the third round ofthe freshman tennis tournament yes¬terday on the V’arsity courts.Kreitenstein faced Jerry Jeremy,who had advanced to the secondround by defeating Horwich Tues¬day.

Tercentenary planners have formulateda distinguished pre^am for scholar and layman alike:a Tercentenary Exhibition, a Tercentenary Session of theSummer Schools, meetings of Learned Societies, a Ter-centenary Conference of Arts and Sciences, a meeting ofthe Association of the Alumni of Harvard College, and,on September 16, 17 and 18, the concluding Tercentenaryceremonies.Among those who will be in attendance at the 300thanniversary meetings will be 14 Nobel Prize winners fromthe United States and Europe, and a large number ofdistinguished learned men from all parts of the world.The discussions to be led by these men will bring manyfirst announcements of scientific studies important to thelives of all men.And with the final speech of the Tercentenary Meet¬ing on September 18, 300 years of higher education in theU.

When the starting gun echoes acrossthe James River at Richmond, Va., next June 27 and 28 iP .(heseventh annual National Intercollegiate Outboard Championships,more than forty universities and preparatory institutions will berepresented.Back in lOjo, when the Colgate Outing Club of Colgate Uni'versity bravely announced its in' .tention to sponsor the first inter'collegiate outboard regatta therewas a dubious wagging of heads.Veteran outboard drivers through'out the country smiled tolerantly.The college boys, it seemed, werelaboring under a hallucination.Wait until they, with oibbe'smeared faces, experienced thepounding and physical batteringunavoidable in an outboard hydraplane, it was murmured.But. not only was the regatta,held on Lake Skaneateles, N. Y., highly successful, but pomp andcolor known only to the campus were added to the event, makingan ordinary regatta look dull and drab by comparison. Since th^ittime collegiate drivers have enjoyed the most profound respect innational racing circles, many of them having battled their way tothe top in important events outside the realm of college com-petition.•■T^E Eastern ' Intercollegiate Outboard Association, whichsponsors the annual national championship, holds only oneevent annually. This regatta is different from any other in thatteam competition has been in'jected, affording added interest.Individual' and team champion'ship trophies are awarded on thebasis of the number of pointsscored in the four classes of out¬board racing motors'"A, B, C andF. First place counts 400 points,second place joo, third 225, etc.It was in 1933 that Lewis G.Carlisle of East Islip, N. Y„ to whom Yale owes credit for manypoints, won the American high point championship, competingthroughout the season against the crack drivers of America. Thefollowing year he was succeeded by Joel Thorne who, as a repre-sentative of Rutgers University, won the intercollegiate individualchampionship.Samuel Crooks, who won the individual intercollegiate titlelast year under the colors of Rutgers, is ranked as one of the fivebest drivers in the United States. The time is not far distant, it isbelieved, when all colleges and universities will award letters inoutboard racing. Columbia, Rutgers and Colgate thus far haveawarded letters in this sport.prXPELLED for wearing s^ campus, W. J.
