MILLER /►{This is the second of three articlespresenting the i'ieu’s of J. Fred Rip-l>!f, professor of Hispanic American,History on the Significance of theeighth International Conference ofAmerican States convened at BuenosAires.)“Let us affirm,” President Roose¬velt urged Tuesday, as he opened theInternational Conference of AmericanStates, “that we maintain and defendthe democratic form of constitutionalrepresentative government.”“How’ that must have rocked theiistinguished delegation of SouthAmerica statesmen gathered atBuenos Aires!” declared Professorflippy as he related the import of theconference with regard to govern-fnental institutions.Three of every four powers in the:ontinent of the South are quite ob-/iously dictatorships, he explained.Fhe differences between the Europeaniind South American varieties areluite superficial—the Europeans have)penly renounced their faith in thenachinery of democracy, while an im¬pressive majority of the South Amer-cans merely cloak the actual state ofiffairs by going through democraticnotions.It is, then, as an apostle of peace—peace through democratic means—thatPresident Roosevelt walks triumph¬antly into the hearts of the Argen¬tine people. And it is, strangelymough, as an apostle of democracy—democracy through peaceful means—th«t ho oallfi for a return to fhe processes of consultation, amendment,and compromise.Not Preaching RevolutionProfessor Rippy does not sayPresident Roosevelt is preaching rev¬olution.He says, simply, that the President(Continued on Page 2) Sigma Xi toInitiate 40 atDinner TonightHonor Wilder Elect Fitzgerald Captain1937 Maroon Football ofTeamGeiling Speaks on WhaleBiology at QuadrangleClub Meeting.Hailed as a rising young researchworker, Janet Frances Wilder, sisterof the novelist Thornton Wilder, willbe one of a group of the Universityof Chicago’s advanced science stu¬dents who will be honored with fullmembership in the Sigma Xi societytonight.Miss Wilder, who is a zoologist, isstudying the respiration of aquaticanimals at the Midway laboratories.Dr. E.

Light in weight, he has de-velopj'd into a sure tackier, however.Co-captain Jordan was aw'ardedthe trophy for “rendering the mostvaluable service with the least re¬cognition.” The team has alw’ays beenable to count on Bud to carry out hisassignment.

KISERProfessor Frank Hurburt O’Hf.ra’scollection of University of Chi:;ago“Plays, Skits, and Lyrics,” publishedearly this week by the UniversityPress, should be received with en¬thusiasm by every student and alum¬nus who has ever enjoyed a Dramat¬ic Association production or a MirrorRevue.Disclaiming any intention of pub¬lishing merely “another collection of“best plays,” Mr. O’Hara, in his for¬ward, calls the book “not even, per¬haps, a selection of the best playswritten by University of Chicagostudents... To be representative ofstudent work and student interest is(its) chief aim.” We feel that hehas admirably fulfilled this aim.Review of PlaysThe first of the six plays, “To¬morrow,” by William Cotant, is ashort sketch imparting the atmos¬phere and character surrounding afamily of “poor white trash” livingin the backwoods of the southernhills. The next two selections, “CallHim Joseph,” by Edward H. Levi(now a member of the faculty of theLaw School), and “Roots,” by EdithGrossberg, represent variations ofthe same theme—the disintegrationof ties binding together a modern re¬ligious and racial group. “Call HimJoseph” reminds us greatly of Cliff¬ord Odet’s play of last season,“Awake and Sing.”Also included are two widely dif¬fering plays by the same author,Mrs. Marguerite Harmon Bro. “Home Rule” is a comic sketch in a hospitalsetting; “Within the Four Seas” rep¬resents a plot of modern political in¬trigue built around the old theme of“East is East and West is West,”the whole piece being given a dis-(Continued on Page 3)Hartshorne DefendsModern PhilosophyCharles Hartshorne, assistant pro¬fessor of Philosophy, is at presentpreparing the manuscript for his newbook, “Beyond Humanism,” with thesubtitle “Essays in the New Philos¬ophy of Nature,” which will be pub¬lished by Willett, Clark, and Com¬pany in the Spring.Intended for the reader with someserious interest in Philosophy, thebook is a criticism of views whichregard man as the highest type ofexistence in nature; included in thiscriticism are Dewey, Santayana, Ru.s-sell, and the Viennese Circle ofwhich Professor Rudoph Carnap nowat the University is the most influ¬ential member. Hartshorne will de¬fend the views of Pierce and White-head, who hold to a new type ofmetaphysics in opposition to the con¬cepts of humanism.Dr. Hartshorne will visit StanfordUniversity in the Winter and Springquarters, where he will teach fourcourses: aesthetics, logic, ethics, andthe history of philosophy.Page Two THE DAILY MAROON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1936^aroottFOUNDED IN 1901Member Associated Collegiate PressThe Daily Maroon is the official student newspaper of theUniversity of Chicasro, published mornings except Saturday, Sun¬day. and Monday during the Autumn, Winter, and Spring quartersby The ‘Daily Maroon Company, 5831 University avenue.

FTitz andEmmett DeadmanAssistant: William GrodyFriday, December 4, 1936“Selling” the University to AthletesHow can the University regain athleticprominence without sacrificing its high schol¬astic standards? Most people who have consid¬ered this question in the light of the recentdiscussion of Chicago’s athletic policy have saidthat there is a way—to “sell” the Universityto high school students who are interested inathletics.At the present time there are two maingrounds upon which the University can be“sold,” its high scholastic standing and its lib¬erality in education. These items are excellenttalking points to many students, but are muchless persuasive when used on prospective ath¬letes. This latter group may question the ideaof “liberality.”If by the word liberal, one understandsbroad-minded, then an attack on this point maybe justified. Indications have been in recentyears that the University administration wasassuming a narrow-minded attitude toward itsathletic teams, that they felt them to be neces¬sary evils to a university founded in the “anti-intellectual” era of the nineties.Is the University in its de-emphasis of ath¬letics, tending to lean over backwards? Is itgiving athletes a “break”? Let it be under¬stood that we do not recommend the subsidiza¬tion of athletes. We do recommend that theUniversity give something more than a letteraward to the men who spend many hours on itsathletic fields. That these men are worth agreat deal to the University in the role of cre¬ating favorable public opinion is a truism. Be¬sides casting a favorable light on the Univer¬sity in the pages of the national press, athleticteams are a firm basis of alumni support of theUniversity. In short, they are the most activecontacts that a school has with the public out¬side its cloistered halls.The question arises as to how the Univer¬sity should aid its athletes. To simplify theclassification let us put them under the headsof physical and mental aids:1. Physical. The athlete should have hisphysical wants satisfied. There are accusationsThe ABCsCharacterization of the SchoolmenThen came the philosophic theologians of the Mid¬dle Ages: they seem to have admired the subtle lawyertype of mind, and in consequence their god was a law¬yer, an argumentative person with a memory for pre¬cedents and legal minutiae; indeed one sometimes feelsthat to the schoolmen the great object was so to arguetheir case at law that their subtleties would prevent Godfrom being even more subtle and catching them out.To them the universe was almost nothing but a prettypiece of dialectic.John Langdon-Davies,Man and His Universe. that many athletes are underfed because offinancial need. To this end, the training tableshould be re-instituted in order that all foot¬ball players and perhaps other athletes mighteat their evening meals together after practice.2. Mental. The athlete should be free fromworries, which are usually of two sorts, thoseconcerning finances and those concerningstudies. Regarding the former sort we may saythat since the University can not favor athletesin filling jobs, it is up to the alumni as one oftheir chief responsibilities to see that jobs areavailable for all athletes that need them. Asfar as studies go, the Chicago Plan is ideal forathletes who are forced to drop behind duringthe time their sport is in season, because of theflexibility of time requirements.The sceptic might ask why is all this nec¬essary. We will answer that one of the purposesof a university education is to get a broad view¬point of life. We will say that we feel that thiscan be achieved only by rubbing shoulders withall kinds of people, that the athlete representsa large element of these people, and that theUniversity, its students, and its faculty aredemonstrating a type of intellectual snobbish¬ness should they forget to make this institu¬tion appeal to those boys who consider athleticinterests of considerable importance, eventhough their main interest is to get an educa¬tion.—E.S.S.The Travelling BazaarBy FRANCES POWER^ Satan Meets the LadiesWe really don’t know just how the Universities Es¬cort Bureau has stayed out of the Bazaar to date. Wetalked to Duncan Holoday about it, and he made cuttingcomments on the subject of people who get in the Ba¬zaar and people who write it. We twitched our eye¬brows and tactfully muttered, “Sour grapes.” So nowDune joins our shameful company. The nice thing abouthim is that he looks like the devil—literally. His earsare pointed, his eyebrows curly, his hair practically goesup in red horns, and his whole expression is one offiendish glee. He will take the part of Vaska, in the“Lower Depths”, who is most awfully brutal and dis¬honest, and he loves it. We think probably it penetrateshis inmost soul or something like that—with inhibi¬tions involved.We hope that everybody appreciates all the court¬esy, gallantry, better nature and strength of will dis¬played the UEB (Universities Escort Bureau) in allits dealings. The people who have been writing it upfor the Maroon make us dizzy. We’re never quite surewhen we’re supposed to laugh, and people who go aboutbeing subtle unnerve us to begin with. But we think it’sall on the highest plane, and we agree with an inno¬cent bystander who said, “It sounds kind of queer butawful classy.”QuiteSomebody made a remark to Winnie Leeds aboutwhat a good-looking couple Ruth Doctoroff and HarryHess make (made?).“I know,” Winnie warbled, “but they always seemto be wondering how soon something will happen sothey can step onto a page in Esquire.”Gertie and suchWe’re wondering about gossip columns. When wewere in high school nobody ever read anything else,and our favorite subscription-jerker-upper was the run¬ning of a page devoted to advertisements and gossipcolumn in equal quantities. It worked pretty well. Whenwe were still in that stage of freshmania which usesthe map in its handbook a dozen times a day, we wantedgossip in the same way. There is nothing more de¬pressing than being dumped into a room full of peopleand not knowing who has hung his pin on whom. Onemakes boners. On the other hand, one of the most aw-fullest things is the people in them. Some people justplain do get their names in the papers and there theystay. If they are seen at Hanley's somebody writes a“Seen at Hanley’s” column and has an awful time try¬ing to find somebody else to put in it. So they say,“Behind the bar stood Mike, cigar in mouth, with acheery word for all and the blarney stone’s mark onhis lips when a pretty girl came by.” Then the editor,who may have a lovely disposition and a heart of gold,but who wouldn’t be an editor if he hadn’t a certainelement of brutality in his makeup, throws the thing atthe most convenient piece of floor. Anyhow, a gossip col¬umn should be of general interest, and we don’t knowanybody who can gossip about six or seven thousandpeople. That’s why we go about saying we’re above thatsort of thing.Don’t tell Hearst, but—Somebody murmured into our aural fixture that thefloor of each and every landing in the Social Sciencebuilding is embellished with a large swastika. Oh, dear.And also—Somebody saw a girl and a boy walking along infront of Cobb the other day. She was smoking a pipe.Of course, this is a liberal campus, but our friendsconfine their smelly things to the dorms.Cody, the extrovertSome people are and some aren’t. Cody Pfanstiehlwon’t let us be Patience Meyderes. He says that hav¬ing the Bazaar anonymous is not a good idea. We didn’tcare about whether people knew who we were or not,but we didn’t like the looks of our name up there. Sowe thought us up a pseudonym, like S. Choirboy’s, andwe wrot’e a nice little explanation. Cody cut it, said itwas the dumbest paragraph in the article, and told usto write fifty words. Now we’re mad.

Activesliving outside thehouse pay $15.50per month, plus $3per quarter fordances, and ac¬tives living in thehouse pay $42.Two men are onthe varsity base¬ball squad, twoout for track, oneis vice presidentof the UniversityRadio club, andone person each isout for swimmingand track. Two ofthe graduate stu¬dents are PhiBeta Kappa.As far as activities are concerned, the Phi Kaps hold no highpositions, nor may they be identified exclusively with any phase ofixtra-curricular work. Because of the paucity of this material in the group.Phi Kappa Sigma will not, in the next few years at least, become prom¬inent in activities. But as may be seen above, they are not a “dead” fra¬ternity.Hence we find here a small group which must be fully personally in¬vestigated to gain a picture. The Phi Kaps do not splash in the publiceye as do many of the larger houses, yet their parties are always well at¬tended. and a feeling of unity seems to pervade.♦ ♦ ♦Houses holding their doors open from 5:30 til 10:30 this Sunday are DeltaL’psilon, 5714 Woodlawn; Phi Gamma Delta, .5615 University; Alpha DeltaPhi, 5717 University; Phi Beta Delta, 5607 University; Kappa Sigma, 5615Woodlawn; and Zeta Beta Tau, 5749 Woodlawn.FRANK: There are four Jewish fraternities—Phi Beta Delta, Phi SigmaDelta, Pi Lambda Phi, and Zeta Beta Tau.DAVK: Yes, you certainly can go to an open house without an invitation.And the more friends you bring, the better.

Tea and * If you are an outstanding figureon campus and a member of a lead¬ing fraternity you have a goodchance of becoming a dowager thrill¬er. According to Duncan Holoday,President of the Universities’ EscortBureau, these attributes are import¬ant, but not sufficient grounds foracceptance. One must:1. Be physically presentable.2. Have personality and an easymanner.3. Be a gentleman of the LordChesterfield type.4. Posses knowledge in at least onesocial activity.. .opera, bridge, con¬versation, or ordering from a menu.5. Be a good dancer.6. Be well known and outstandingon the campus.If anyone feels that he possessesthese qualities ( ?) and feels the urgeto be a heart throb he should applyto Holoday so that he may be on the“Eligible” list before the Christmasrush. The opportunities are unlimited.It is rumored that one of Ted Peck-ham’s (New York Bureau) boys re¬ceived a $2000 tip one evening forservices rendered.Fraternity Men EnrollThus far, thirty of the campus “Ad¬onises” (Greek Gods) have been ad¬mitted to the ranks. Speaking ofGreek Gods most of the lads belongto campus Greek letter organizations.“Naturally,” said Holoday, “Thebulk of the group are Phi Delts. I sup¬pose this is because we have a closercontact with them and know thembetter. However, other fraternitiesare well represented.”Continuing his conversation, hestated that the Dekes were next inline—and they even have an AlphaDelt. Furthermore a Psi U has ap¬plied but has not been accepted—asyet. His qualifications are being in¬vestigated as are all applicants.Officers Intrigue ManyAbout thirty per cent of the callsare from women in this city; themajority are for tall brunettes. Afew desire blondes—with a smatter¬ing of requests for redheads. To date,eighteen eScorts have been rented.Numerous women were intrigued bythe picture of the officers which ap¬peared in a local newspaper and sev¬eral calls have come in for them.Assuming that he had complied withtheir wishes, and being rather curi¬ous about his reactions to being outwith a woman older than himself, weasked him how it felt.Holoday Defends Clients“Oh, it’s really not so bad. In fact,”he continued, warming to the sub¬ject, “it’s not bad at all, no, sir, notbad. They are really all right.” Ina reminiscent tone he went on, “Insome ways, the older woman reallyhas a distinct advantage; for ex¬ample, she is reasonably intelligent(How about it, girls?) and she canHyde Park Baptist Church5600 Woodlawn Ave,Norris L.

C.” is a play of Chicago gang-sterdom, which gives the reader achoice of any one of four endings.Skits and LyricsThe ten skits and fifteen lyrics forthe most part represent lively bur¬lesques of familiar institutions inmodern American life, both on and offthe University scene. Modern edu¬cational methods, particularly cer¬tain aspects of the New Plan, comein for their share of the satire, espe¬cially in “At the Examiners,” byHoward Hudson, “Progressive Edu¬cation,” by Mrs. Bro, and the lyric“The Pink Degree,” by Orvis T.Henkle Jr.. Among other present orrecent campus contemporaries whoseskits and lyrics are included we findJerry Jontry, Robert Graf, VincentQuinn, Dorothy Cahill, and F. H.O’H. himself.In their introductions to the playsand the skits and lyrics, WhitfordKane and Beatrice Lillie both paytribute to the ability of Frank Hur-burt O’Hara as a director of dra¬matics and as an instructor of classesin playwriting. Of the skits. MissLillie (whose article alone is almostworth the price of the book—herhumor is at its best) says: “Theysound as if they were being invented,and quite by chance, at the momentof their presentation. How the pro¬ducer must have labored to achievesuch offhandedness! For skits arenever born light on their feet...Thehand of the Celtic producer hastouched them. Lightly. Brightly. Al¬together unseen.”Reading the skits and lyrics hasmade us look forward with renewedenthusiasm to the forthcoming Win¬ter quarter production of Mirror.Reading the plays has made us re¬gret more than ever the fact thatthe Dramatic Association has aband¬oned its annual Playfest, where theseoriginal student productions wereformerly presented.The First Unitarian ChurchWoodlawn Ave. and E. 57th StreetVon Ogden Vogt, D.D., MinisterSUNDAYDecember 6, 193611:00 A.M.— Advent Music andsermon.4:00 P.M.—Channing Club.

The footballcoaches will discuss rule chan,ges andproposals for improving officiating atgames, since the schedules are drawnur) for the next season already. T.Nelson Metcalf, Director of Athletics,hazarded the guess that thei’e wouldbe no actual rule changes recommend¬ed to the Athletic directors by thecoaches.Hebert Gives PaperIn the afternoon the ticket mana¬gers and intramural directors willmeet at 2 to exchan,ge ideas. WalterH. Hebert, director of Intramurals,will read a paper on the problems in¬volved in intercollegiate meetings ofintramural champions, a practicewhich has developed to major pro¬portions among the eastern schools.The athletic directors and the fac¬ulty representatives will hold a jointmeeting at 8, with the Reynolds plansubmitted by Wisconsin, the only def¬inite item on the agenda.Tomorrow the gymnastic, track,baseball and swimmin,g coaches willmeet at 10, also to draw up schedules.At the same hour the directors of ath¬letics will hold a meeting, a continua¬tion of the former one. Not till Sun¬day will the basketball officials andcoaches have an opportunity to meet,due to the fact that most of themhave Saturday games.Explain Conference BodiesThe relation between the variousbodies w'hich comprise the WesternConference is complex. The legisla¬tive group is the faculty representa¬tives, which concerns itself with elig¬ibility rules chiefly. Officially thisgroup is the whole of the conference.The directors of athletics have powerover matters of administrative detail,and make directors’ a,greements asto limits on practice time, on inter¬pretations of rules the basketballround robin schedule, and similar de¬tails.Business matters are in the handsof a corporation whose stockholdersare the athletic directors, the facultyrepresentatives, and a representativeof the alumni body, from each school.The athletic directors are perfunc¬torily chosen directors of the corpor¬ation each year. This body regulatesdivision of the gale receipts, and re¬lated matters.In the Big Ten, no team is re¬quired to play a certain number ofconference games. However, underthe cortstitution, every team is en¬titled to a minimum number of gameswith other conference teams. It isthis fact, that each team is entitledto a number of games, that is liableto make it impossible for Chicago tomodify its conference schedule be¬cause of the demands that would bemade by other Big Ten schools.Give a Picture forChristmasVisit theG I T T APortrait StudioReasonable RatesH4.'.

He was especiallyencouraged by the defensive workand aggressiveness of Paul Amund¬sen, where he was notoriously lack¬ing last season. Also pleasing toNorgren was the work of the sopho¬more forwards, Mullins and Cassels,and “Red” Rossin’s showing on of¬fense.When asked about the sloppinessof the passing, the coach said thathe thought it was caused by the factthat the forwards this year arespeedier than last year and theguards will need drill on throwingthe ball farther ahead of the playerthan they were accustomed to lastyear. He also expressed the opinionthat the smoothness of offense willimprove when Fitzgerald and Peter¬sen have had time to recover fromtheir football season.Curtain at 8:30 P.M.Reynolds Club TheaterlllAsteifiPIND HIS ORCHE-STRPMAURINE AND NORVAFLORENCE KOPE • DONNA DAECONTINENTAL TRIO • MASTERS’ GLEE CLUBCONTINENTPL ROOmSTEVENS HOTELFriday Night Sold Out!Get Your Tickets Early!REMEMBER:The Lower DepthsOpensWednesday, December 9, 1936SOAPBOX— Just Out!Featuring:These Modem Greeks—a Challenge to Fraternities—by Martin Linton"Hong Your Clothes on a Hickory Limb"—Paternalism in the S.S.A.

Opinions of experts andcoaches differ, but the general trendof thought is that the feat is im‘possible.Purdue, reputed to be as strong asever, in preparing for a rigoroustwenty-game schedule must find re¬placements for three members of lastyear’s co-championship crew'. Themissing are Captain Bob Kessler,leading Big Ten scorer in 1935-36;Ed Elliot rar,gy defensive star; and“Red” Lambert, outstanding guard.Two Purdue VeteransStill present are Co-captain Jim Se¬ward, 6 ft. 6 in. senior center; andPete Malaska, one of the victims ofPurdue’s recent locker room tragedy,but now fully recovered and is ex-j pected to resume his usual guard po¬sition. Filling in the open positionsin early drills, have been forwardsJewell Young, sixth Big Ten highscorer, and Johnny Sines.Indiana, again doped among thetop four of Conference prospects, ispreparing for one of the stiffestschedules in its hardwood history. Co¬captains Vernon Huffman, All-con¬ference football star, and Ken Gun¬ning are amon,g the .seven returninglettermen. Huffman last year was an All-American guard and Gunningplaced third in conference scoring.Among the others who will be seen inaction this season are Fred Fechtman,6 ft. 7 in. center; Bob Etnire, rangyforw’ard; and Joe Platt sharp-shoot-in,g guard.Northwestern ThreatensNorthwestern is conceded the bestopportunity of upsetting the cham¬ pionship hopes of the Hoosier teams.The Evanston school finds their ])ros-pects the be.st in a number of yearswith ten of the twelve lettermen re-turning, and the entix-e last year’sstarting lineup remaining intact.Chief offensive gun will be Mike Mc-Michaels high scorin,g forward whowill battle it out with Gunning of in-diana for this year’s point title.SPEND THE HOLIDAYS WITHCHICAGO’S NEWEST SENSATIONSMildred Bailey Red NorvoQuMn of Swing And Hli BandROMO VINCENTRUTH AND BILLY AMBROSE$1.50 Delicious DinnerNO COVER CHARGE TEA DANCINGMin. $1.50 Wook Dayt Ev^ry Sunday •$2.00 Saturday FROM 3:30 TO 6 PJ4.RANDOLPH *>.
