As a tangible step to improve li¬brary conditions, university officialsare making plans for a Social ServiceAdministration library in HarperMil. If present plans are completed,the north wing of Lexington Hallwill be remodeled to accomodateclasses now meeting in Harper.At present, the Social Service li¬brary has one-quarter of the SocialScience Reading Room, a situationwhich leads to congestion in both de¬partments. Cora M. Gettys, librarianin charge of the reading room, says“Harper Mil will offer sufficientspace for the needs of the Social Ser¬vice library, which has 2,500 books,and will relieve congestion in thereading room.”According to Emery T. Filbey,dean of faculties, “There will be aSocial Service library ready for thewinter quarter, although because ofuncertain cost estimates, it is im¬possible to say whether Mil will beused.”Law StudentsPetition FlookTaking action on the suggestionsfor improved lighting in the law li¬brary, the University Bar Associa¬tion circulated petitions from lastWednesday until this morning.

InItaly and Germany tremendous arma¬ments have been increased to capa¬city, he went on to explain, and allthat is needed to set that power¬house battery off to produce amaelstrom like the last War is atechnical excuse.Countries Need ExpansionBoth Italy and Germany have feltthe need to expand to gain a satis¬factory living for their people. InItaly, intense hatred has been fos¬tered against England because ofher opposition to this expansion.Coleman describes Naples at the timeof his visit, which followed the cap¬ture of Addis Abb&ba, as “stewingwith excitement and dislike for Eng¬land.” Slogans posted on the streetsand constant stirring vp from head¬quarters have been a part of thecampaign to maintain this feelingagainst England.“Individualism? There' is no suchword in either the Italian or theGerman vocabulary of today,” Cole I Student statements on the necessi¬ty for improvements show great dif¬ference of opinion. Philip T. Baum,transfer student, represents opinionin praise of the libraries, stating, “Inmy experience with libraries at aneastern university, I find that the li¬braries here are far bettex*. If thereis any it is due to the student habitof using the librai’ies as a meetingplace.”Concerning the business libi’ary,a graduate student in the businessschool complained, “I find that thelibi’ary does not contain enough cop¬ies of assigned books. There is al¬ways a rush of a hundred or morestudents to get books of which thereare only single copies. I don’t like thesystem whereby the student is notable to look over the books in thestacks.”Unavailability of books for I’efer-ence purposes w’as emphasized by an(Continued on Page 2)Cast Parts forNext D A PlayTwelve New Actors TreadReynolds Club BoardsDec. 9,10, 11, 12.Twelve new actors and five who haveappeared before ai’e in the cast ofGorki’s “The Lower Depths,” as an¬nounced yestei’day by William BeV-erly, president of the Dramatic Asso¬ciation.All of the women in the cast aremaking their first apixearance in adramatic production at the Univer¬sity.

If therereally is a lack of relationships at the Univer¬sity, and if the resulting impersonality is un¬desirable, then this Chapel Union programshould be actively supported. If the imperson¬ality is really the fault of the professors, thenthey need prodding in order to insure the suc¬cess of the program.Is this lack of relationship really undesir¬able? It certainly seems so, because friendlyadvice, encouragement, and intellectual leader¬ship are neglected. The Chapel Union is under¬taking the task of enabling students and fac¬ulty members to get together, and is encounter¬ing few difficulties, financial or prejudicial.The principal need at present is more extensiveparticipation, in order that the potential valuesof the program may be actualized.The program is outlined in an article in to¬day’s issue of The Daily Maroon. While itsgreatest value might be for those students wholack personal contacts with professors andother students, it is also proving highly bene¬ficial to those whose contacts have heretoforebeen uninspiring.“Cold and impersonal” need no longer be afair description of the “City Gray.”—E.C.F.Vestige of Campus PoliticsMost students interested in extracurricularactivities at the University pride themselvesover the fact that campus politics play sominor a role in determining appointments tostudent committees and control of student^ or¬ganizations. Although the students engagingin these activities are for the most part fra¬ternity men and club girls, independents whenthey have participated have never been slight¬ed as far as promotion is concerned. Nor, as ageneral rule, has any one fraternity or group ofThe ABC’sDefinition of PeacePeace should not be considered as being merely anabsence of war. Peace is a condition of thought whichwill prevail when the civilized world is finally or¬ganized to have and to hold it.John Francis Kane,War or Peace? fraternities in recent years dominated any or¬ganization for an extended period of time.There are exceptions, however; vestiges ofcampus politics do remain on the quadrangles.The most conspicuous case at the present timeis afforded by the Order of Blackfriars. Thatorganization, to put it mildly, is rotten withpolitics.A brief amount of evidence will suffice. Thisyear the representatives of three fraternitieshold the appointive positions on the Board ofSuperiors. Three of the five juniors who wereyesterday appointed to managerships are mem¬bers of these same fraternities. .. Similarly,last year three of the five junior managers be¬longed to the same fraternities as the membersof the Board of Superiors. For the past fiveyears at least, the position of abbot, or head ofthe organization, has been held exclusively bythe members of two fraternities, alternatingback and forth each year.We do not condemn either the organizationsor the individuals involved; for the most part,they have not been to blame. We do condemnthe system and the attitude of mind that allowsuch conditions to exist and to continue. Tobe sure, a good many individuals who haveachieved positions of importance in the organi¬zation have deserved them, but at the sametime many others of definite ability have beenpassed over because they did not belong to theright fraternities w'hile some have been givenpositions on the basis of fraternity connectionsrather than of merit. Perhaps this accounts forwhat some observers have noted as a trendtoward poorer Blackfriars shows in recentyears. We hope that the present Board ofSuperiors will inaugurate the policy of consid¬ering the question of promotion not from theangle of the fraternity affiliations of the candi¬dates, but of the basis of the past records, abil¬ities, and potentialities of the men involved. Ifthey do so, the Order of Blackfriars w'ill be, forthat reason alone, a more worthwhile organiza¬tion.The Travelling BazaarBy CODY PFANSTIEHLFeeling a bit worn by this world of Buy and Pur¬chase, we dropped around to see Bud Ogren, who ispaid to pass out free gum and candy to everyone andanyone. He’s been in the game two years now—startedout with the Phillip Morris people and at present isboosting Beech-Nut products.He distributes free samples, and the job runs infive-w’cek periods. For the last five weeks it’s beengum. They sent him 1,000 solo pieces and 3,000 pack¬ages (five sticks each) of straight gum, and 3,000packages (ten per package) of Beechies, which arecandy-coated gum blobs. That makes 46,000 pieces ofgum to distribute as far and wide as possible in thefive week limit.That’s pretty many. Take the Beechies alone, forinstance. Thirty thousand of 'em. Every student, pro¬fessor, and employee of the University could have threeBeechies to chew after his or her dinner, and still there’dbe one quarter of a Beechie a piece left over for laterin the evening.Or take straight gum. At 2% inches per stick,there’s 3,833)^ feet of gum, or about 5 4-5 city blocks’worth. Of course there’s no telling how far it wouldstretch were it all chewed soft.“The work is helpful”, he confided, “because theBeech-Nut people insist that you look like a gentlemanat all times.” We nodded and understood. A fellowwill do anything for duty.Just before we left, Beech-Nut Gentleman Repre¬sentative Ogren gave us 75 sticks of peppermint flavoredBeech-Nut gum to “hand around to the boys in the fra¬ternity.” Selfishly we did something we’ve alwayswanted to do, even though we aren’t a regular chewer.We stuffed ten sticks into our mouth at once. As wechoked, Gentleman Ogren pounded upon our back andwarned “You’d better make the best of these, becausethe next five weeks it’s going to be Candy Drops andMints.”We’ll drop in again. Candy Drops and Mints arebetter anyway.♦ * *BEPREPAREDSome time ago, we are told, a Chi Rho girl wore afellow’s fraternity pin for three months before sheknew which fraternity it represented. So now the pledgeshave to know, by sight and within a few seconds, everyfraternity pin on campus.Then the Chi Rhos will be ready for any emergency.* * *MIDNIGHTGHOSTLYA fellow we know named Jack Willis will never getdrunk. Outside his house, on cold winter evenings, themanhole in the road steams a ghostly mist. And in themiddle of the warm vapor, in the wee hours when Jackcomes home from a date, sits a rabbit, warming hiscottontail.It’s a white rabbit, and Jack says the sight of theanimal just sittin’ and grinnin' in the wafting steam,is bad enough, even when you’re sober. Lettersto the EditorFUNDAMENTAL DECISIONEditor,The Daily Maroon:From a background of ten yearsof school, college, and independentfootball experience, and a long con¬tinued interest in inter-collegiateathletics, I understand and approveof your “Chicago and the Big Ten”editorial. The growth of profession¬al football is forcing a fundamentaldecision on the colleges and universi¬ties. Are we to compete with theprofessional teams for gate receiptsor with other amateur (not semi-professional) teams for sport? Ifthe former, college athletes shouldshare in the money taken, much moregenerally and generously than theydo at present. If the latter, footballwill probably settle down into thestatus that intercollegiate baseballnow holds. I agree with you that foran educational institution such asthe University of Chicago the courseindicated by your editorial is themost logical and satisfactory one tofollow.W. C. Allee way? By reading the Daily Maroon!Once again. You have succeededin discouraging most of the studentbody and your negative attitude longago spread to the metropolitan dail¬ies. As a direct result of this youhave succeeded in hitting the tworeal sources of football man powerupon which we can draw', the stu¬dents in the sun-ounding high schoolsand the alumni. Imagine, if you can,the effect of your recent editorial asrepublished in one of the big dailies...Aren’t you proud of yourself andyour negative journalism?...There is a new' year coming, whynot try to change your policies andbecome a useful organ rather thanremain a parasite?An Old Fashioned StudentToday on theQuadrangles“OLD FASHIONED” VIEWPOINTEditor,The Daily Maroon;You have started something youcannot finish! Your editorial onfootball practices on this campus andat other schools lead one to wonder¬ment and not a little awe. The depthand magnitude of their thought willgo down in history. Or so you hopeYour editorials belie your ownthoughts. One day you pop up onone side of the question and the nextday you are on the other. May Iask why? You don’t even believewhat you write. The last paragraphin your editorial of November 25 isquoted:“Will the University be able todevelop a football team of a calibrecomparable to those of other Big Tenschools... ? We are inclined to give anegative answer.”So it isn’t overemphasis of footballthat is worrying you, is it? By yourow'n statement you say that you aremerely afraid that we can’t producea good.team. Sometimes your so¬phisticated rationalizations come inhandy, don’t they? A few years agoyour statements would have beenclassed as sour grapes. Now youfancy yourself carrying a torch forenlightened education...I think I have a cure for the situa¬tion but you will probably ride it intothe ground because you are defeated.You are beaten and therefore couldnot muster up enough militant edi¬torial vitality to raise your own bloodpressui'e let alone that of 6(X)0 stu¬dents and many more alumni.Look, I don’t know' how' many malestudents are on this campus, say2500. Is it not logical that of thatgroup 50 young men have enoughbrawn along with their brains toplay football? Why aren’t they outthere for Coach Shaughnessy to w orkwith? I’ll tell you.

Winter and summer formats are pro-rated among the members.The fraternity maintains a tutorial system of aid for lowerclassmen, andoffcis a scholarship award for the pledge with the highest scholastic stand-intr at the end of his freshman year.The Phi Delts have not as yet reached the position of leadership in activ-iti( .' to the extent that their numbers would lead us to expect. The recentincrease in the size of pledge classes and apparent drive for members mayexplain this.• ♦ ♦It has often been argued that membership in a fraternity will materiallyaid in activities advancement. Some, therefore, will believe that a fra¬ternity is entirely composed of “activity men”. This is not true. Anyfraternity contains two elements—the members who, by virtue of their extra-fraternal interests, form a front for the group, and the solid stock, who goipiieily alM)Ut their less public businass..'^ince it is possible only to list the more physical accomplishments of thelireeks in these articles, a casual reader might conclude that all fraternitynun are activities men, and likewise, all activities men are fraternity men.If is true that almost without exception, all high extra-curricular posts oncampus are held by Greeks. But is it not reasonable to argue that “once anactivities man. always an activities man,” and that these persons join afraternity much as they go out for any activity?Hut all (Jreeks are not so.

Plant ProducesMillion Poundsof Steam DailyTo produce and deliver over onemillion pounds of steam daily forheating University buildings, to sup¬ply hot water, and to sterilize instru¬ments in Billings hospital, is the taskof the University power plant, at61st and Blackstone streets. (Built in1929 and superseding the formerplant on Ingleside avenue, the equip¬ment now in use is capable of supply¬ing nearly four times the presentsteam consumption.The steam is heated in four mam¬moth 1200 horsepower boilers to atemperature of bOO degrees Fahren¬heit at 150 pounds pressure. Thence itis piped through an undergroundmain seven feet high and eight feetwide, running up Woodlawn avenue,turning west north of the Chapel andending in front of Cobb Hall. Smallerbranch tunnels deliver the steam tothe individual buildings. Three inchesof asbestos insulate the steam pipesso thoroughly that the outside is justpleasantly warm to the touch. The250 degree furnaces consist of end¬less belts 14 feet by 20 feet whichslowly carry the burning coal infront of huge fans which force a hotblast against water tubes. Coal isstored in a 1500-ton container abovethe furnaces and lowered into thestokers by means of a “trolley” hand¬ling 10 tons at a time.Machinery AutomaticBecause of the fact that all ma¬chinery is automatic, only 11 men areneeded to actually operate the ma¬chinery of the plant. Even when theapparatus breaks down, extra help isnot needed. Fog-horns announce toall within the building that some¬thing is wrong and colored lights in¬dicate in what part of the machinerythe trouble lies.Over 29,000 tons of coal were usedby the plant in the year 1935-1936,and more than 403 millions pounds ofsteam were produced.ilhert PuldishesTextbook onHigher Algebra"i!.v providing a sufficiently generaland ail< (|uate foundation for re.searchill modern algebra and for readingiV't arch papers, this book should sup¬ply a need not covered by previoustexts,” .'tates A. .Adrian Albert, as¬sistant [irofessor of mathematics, con-('erning his new book, “ModernHigher .Algebra.” The book is to beused as a text for graduate coursesin algebra.Research in the mathematics de¬partment is being carried on by Pro-fr.ssoi 1,.

This disclosure hasbeen seized upon by some as a scien¬tific proof of the validity of astro¬logical prophecy, a conclusion whichis totally erroneous and out of keep¬ing with the facts.Dr. Peterson demonstrated that thetime of conception of the fetuswould determine its structural de¬velopment, but only to the extent thatmeteorological conditions affect thestructure of any living substance.With certain conditions of tempera¬ture, pressure, and humidity, theamount of oxygen and other neces¬sary materials supplied the embryomay be more than is necessary fornormal development.

Oneof the more prominent freshmanlinemen said he had gained nothingfrom the fall practice save a littlestiff competition from the varsity. Bycontrast, Berwanger succeeded inshowing the backfield candidates someof the tricks which made him an all-.A.merican.From the viewpoint of the playersthe practice was equally useless.

Perhaps it is true that theteam was weak, sluggish, dumb, andthe generalship very poor. Maybe thecoaches of the opposing teams didhold down the scores for us. We re¬alize that after an unsuccessful sea¬son a certain amount of complaint isto be expected.However, we do dislike to see ClarkShaughnessy, who is the only coachin the country who could accomplishanything at the University of Chi¬cago, criticized. We would like to ex¬plain some of the points bothering ourgrandstand quarterbacks as exempli¬fied by the senior rooter of last Wed¬nesday’s Maroon.For example, in a man in motionplay “the ball was snapped w’hen theman was running past the center.’’This is considered good football andis used extensively by the ChicagoBears among others.Furthermoi’e, taking advantage ofweaknesses in defense by changingsignals after the teams have lined upand the defense is set would seem tobe smart football, and not confusionand sluggishness as it was interpret¬ed in the stands. Coach Shaughnessyhas sometimes been criticized for giv¬ing his teams too many plays. This isabsolutely necessary here at Chicago,however, because the teams are smal¬ler, slower, and weaker in replace¬ments and thus can hope to defeatmore powerful opponents only by hit¬ ting their weak spots and outwittingthem by deceptive football. Since it isimpossible to tell beforehand wherethe weak spots will be or what sortof deception will prove effective, it isimperative for us to go into a gamewith a large enough selection ofplays to take advantage of all pos¬sible weaknesses.In conclusion we would like to stateour deep conviction that no matterwhat the trouble is, it lies not inShaughnessy’s coaching ability. Inaddition to being a capable coach,Shaughnessy is an excellent influenceon the players and one of the most in¬teresting and stimulating personali¬ties that we have encountered at theUniversity of Chicago.Cagers Scrimmagein Preparation forWheaton OpenerAttempting to mold his chargesinto an effectively working unit for theopenir\g game with Wheaton collegetomorrow night, Coach Norgren hassent the Maroon quintet through anumber of short, hard, scrimmagesin recent practice sessions.The team has worked surprisinglyw’ell in the absence of Fitzgerald andPeterson, last year’s regulars whohave been missing because of foot¬ball. Both were used yesterday forthe first time; and it was apparentthat Fitzgerald will be tried at for¬ward, a position new to him, in aneffort to bolster the weak offense. Al¬though these players will see plentyof action, they W’ill not be in thestarting lineup, according to CoachNorgren. Gymnastic TeamRelies on NewSophomore CropProspects for a championship gym¬nastic team depend on the develop¬ment of sophomore rhaterial, accord¬ing to Coach Dan Hoffer, since Cap¬tain Nelson Wetherall is the only manon the squad who has had much ex¬perience in conference competition.The squad of 21 men works outdaily in Bartlett gymnasium. So farHayes and Beard, tumblers, show themost rapid improvement of any menof the squad. Other .sophomores whoare counted on to fill out the ten manteam are Guy, Stein, Cochran andBeyer. As a preliminary to confer¬ence comi>etition which does not be¬gin till next quarter, the .squad hasbeen giving exhibitions over the city.Gymnastic RecordThe gymnastic record is one of thebest of all the Maroon teams. Whenthe team placed fourth in the con¬ference two years ago, it was thefirst time in 25 years that the Ma¬roons had failed to come in first or.■second place. Last year’s squad cameout in second place in the conference,and won 16 out of 20 meets for theseason. In a trip among the easternschools, the team won three out offive meets, a proud record since g>’m-nastics is more highly developed inthe east than in the middle west.With practice just beginning atother Big Ten camps, it is difficultto e.stimate the strength of the teams.Last year’s champion, Illinois, suf¬fered a set-back of championshiphopes when their captain and all¬round star became unable to competedue to kidney disease.
