UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, TUESDAY, JANUARY 5, 1937 Price Three CentsASU ConclaveDelegates AidSteelCampaignChinese “Joan of Arc”Attacks Japanese Inter¬ference in China.Exciting a mild flurry of head¬lines in local papers when some ofits delegates distributed literatureto South Chicago steel workers insupport of John L. Lewis’ Commit¬tee for Industrial Organization, thenational convention of the AmericanStudent Union came to a close lastWednesday. Held at four near-cam¬pus churches from December 27 to30, the convention drew over 300regular delegates and approximate¬ly 125 fraternal delegates from 250college and high school chapters of♦ he ASU and assorted student coun-'ils, fraternities, student co-opera¬tives and other organizationsThe literature distribution inci¬dent occurred at 5:30 a.m. Tuesday.At the Monday night convention ses¬sion, a speech from John L. Lewiswas read by James Wechsler, ASUdirector of publications and editorof the Student Adrocate. Lewis ap¬pealed for student support of labororganization, and complimented theASU on its pro-labor attitude. Atthe close of the speech, a districtorganizer of the C.I.O. asked for vol¬unteers from among the delegatesto distribute literature near theSouth Works of the Carnegie-IllinoisSteel Company. Approximately 40responded the next morning, report¬ed at the mill gates, were “slightlypushed around by the cops,’’ to quotea witness, but were allowed to dis¬tribute fhe C.I.O. pamphlets andleave unmolested when finished.Convention SummarizedHighlights of the convention fol¬low:Loh Tsei, Chinese “Joan of Arc’’led oflF the Monday afternoon ses¬sion with a smashing attack on Jap¬anese aggression in China, and ap¬pealed for the sympathy and sup¬port of. American students in theChinese students’ campaign for uni¬fication against Japan.Joseph P. Lash, national secretaryof the ASU, asked for mass supportof the proposed student pilgrimageto Washington in mid-February toadvocate pa.ssage of the AmericanYouth Act. He also denounced thedismis.sal of Jerome Davis of theYale Divinity School and asked fora nation-wide campaign in his behalf.Wechsler’s delivery of Lewis’speech at the evening ses.sion wasfollowed by the report of nationalchairman Ueorge Edwards, whourged that the ASU not commit it-(Continued on page 3) Revamp PhoenixStaff; IndicatePolicy ChangeBecause of the departure of sev¬eral members of the Phoenix stafffrom school, it has been found nec¬essary to make replacements to andhave a general reorganization of theboard of control. The board nowconsists of Henry Reese, Chi Psi,editor; Wilbur Jerger, Delta KappaEpsilon, business manager; andAudrey Eichenbaum, art editor.In an interview, editor Reesepointed out that subsequent issues ofPhoenix will contain “less Catholictheology.’’ There is a rumor that itwill be anti-scholastic rather thanpro-scholastic.All this latter change seems tohave evolved in the. form of a reac¬tion to the recent series of phil¬osophical-theological articles by Her¬bert Schwartz of the music depart¬ment.Accepts OxfordProfessorshipRadcliffe - Brown Resignsto Teach Anthropology inEnglish University.I Alfred Radcliffe-Brown, ProfessorI of Anthropology at the University,j will hold that post at Oxford nextI year. His resignation, regretfully ac¬cepted by the Board of Tru.'Jtees, will■ be effective at the end of the aca-1 demic year. This is a very signalI honor, both to Profes.sor Radcliffe-' Brown and the University, becausethe chair has not been filled since' the death of Prof. E. B. Tylor, who! organized anthropology into a defi-! nite science. At Prof. Tylor’s death,! R. R Marrett succeeded him as Read-'er in Anthropology. The appoint-! ment is exceptional in that Prof,i Radcliffe-Brown is a Cambridge man.

The scholarship is for twoyears and is worth $2000.Davidson, who will sail for Eng¬land the latter part of August orthe first part of September to en¬roll for the fall term, stated thatthe interviews were not particularlytrying as they were entirely oral andwere conducted on a conversationalbasis. He said, however, that theperiod spent in waiting to be inter¬viewed was “very wearing’’.

Plans for the spending of the larg¬est unrestricted gift ever received bythis 43-year old University are be¬ing discussed by Robert MaynardHutchins and the trustees of the Uni¬versity, it was stated yesterday.Full details have not been an¬nounced, but it is evident that themedical school will be the chief ben¬efactor of the $3,000,000 Christmaspresent given by the Rockefeller-endowed General Education Boardof New York. Forty-six new freebeds will be made possible by $110,-000 of the money, and present grantswill be continued with an allotmentof $250,000.The balance will be used for newbooks for the libraries, salary in¬creases, research, and new appoint¬ments.This, gift, Hutchins emphasized,carries with it the necessity of rais¬ing an additional $15,000,000 for theUniversity’s endowment in order thatthe advantages gained by the presentgift may be continued after it isspent—about six years from now.This effort will begin immediately,but will not take the form of an or¬ganized drive. It is more likely thatthe trustees will decide upon a con¬tinuous effort over that period.Helped Found SchoolThe wdnd is blowing down the Mid¬way. It is winter and a new y'.-aragain. . .

In this, they are per¬forming an invaluable service to boththe academic world and to the nationas a whole.Mrs. Harriet Walton Freund willbe married to Frederic Woodward,Vice President of the University, thisafternoon at 4 o’clock at Mrs.Freund’s home, 5730 Woodlawn ave¬nue. The couple will leave for Cali¬fornia after the ceremony.Mrs. Freund, daughter of Mr. Ly¬man A. Walton, is the widow of thelate professor Ernst Freund of thelaw school, who died four years ago.The ceremony will be performedby Reverend Dr. James M. Stifler,Secretary of the University. It seems unthinkable that virtueof this sort can be carried to ex¬cess. But common honesty requiresthe confession that there is a recentinstance where these members haverisen to aid a person in the academ¬ic world whose troubles flow notfrom his being coerced by reaction¬ary forces, but from the peculiar ac¬cidents in his own personality. I re¬fer to the defence of Wisconsin’sGlen Frank by innuendo or directstatements coming from our facultymembers. from self inflicted myopia in \he in¬stance of the Jerome Davis case car¬ries detailed accounts of a growingstudent protest against Frank’s re¬moval. A press which normallysneers at the positions of studentsas an instrument reflecting intelli¬gent action, suggests that 4,000Wisconsin sudents are threatening togo out on strike if their president isretired against his will.Now the sudden interest of thepress in student action should in it¬self be grounds for suspicion. Evena naive Biblical people were worldlyenough to ask, “Is Saul also amongthe prophets?” A university com¬munity such as our own, which peri¬odically suffers because facts con¬cerning the institution are misrepre¬sented in the press, might be expect¬ed to accept reports of student senti¬ment at other campuses with a fewreservations.- The General Education Board wasinstrumental in founding the Medi¬cal school in 1927, and has sincebeen making temporary grants to as¬sist the school. The Board regardsthe support of the University essen¬tial to the support of the Medicalschool, believing that a strong medi¬cal department depends largely on aclose association with good depart¬ments in the natural sciences. Forthis reason the Board indicated thatI much of the grant be used for gen¬eral improvements.“In making this grant, the Board-made clear the fact that the gift wasnot to be regarded as implying theexistence of any peculiar responsi¬bility to the University” said Hutch¬ins in an attempt to quash an impres¬sion that the Rockefellers were par¬tial to this university. “For the sakeof the University itself,” he continu¬ed, “and the necessity it faces ofdeveloping a broad basis of finan¬cial support, we want to emphatical¬ly disavow this opinion.”To Restore Salary CutsThis money will aid in restoringto the University some of the 10 to20 per cent administrative and non-academic salary cuts, 350 eliminatedcourses, and reduction in researchprograms caused by the depression.The University chose to reduce theseitems of expense rather than cut sal¬aries of professors.“The gift of the General Educa¬tion Board makes it possible to con¬tinue building up the University,”said Hutchins. “The University ofChicago is supported entirely by giftsfrom private sources; it receives nostate aid as do state schools.Diccredits StudentMotives UnquestionedThe motives of these men in ris¬ing to the defense of Glenn Frankare of the highest order and arenot in question. What is there beingquestioned is a knowledge of thefacts, on which they have based theirwell meant’ conclusions.A conservative press suffering The figure 4,000 was arrived atarbitrarily for it was created in themind of an anti-LaFollette editor,seeking to discredit the progressivemovement in Wisconsin. This editor’sown reporter denied the figures giv¬en wide publicity in this country. Abetter barometer of student opinionis the position taken by the DailyCardinal, the student newspaper.(Continued on page 3) Chicago Is Outstanding“Chicago is the outstanding Uni¬versity between the eastern seaboardand the Pacific coast which is fi-anced exclusively by gifts of itsfriends.

So startling was"this reversal of form to those who have beenaccustomed to seeing the University naivelymisinterpreted and smugly ignored by down¬town newspapers that the causes and conse¬quences ar eapt to need clarification.The immediate cause of this Deal fromthe Tribune appears to be a smooth diploma¬tic maneuver by President Hutchins. The rea¬sons for the willingness of Colonel McCormickto receive the overtures of Charming Bob,however, can only be speculated upon. Per¬haps the Colonel’s enthusiasm for politicalbattling has waned to the extent that he gen¬uinely wants to bear the cross of more en-I lightened causes. Perhaps he feels that Civic•Betterment is, after all, the safest of all editor¬ial policies. Perhaps he has read Dr. Hutchins’I''took—or even attented a Yale alumni din¬ner where he found R. R. McCormick, ’03,i, next to R. M. Hutchins, ’21. Perhaps he hasthought it prudent to hitch on to the tail ofan already ascendent collegiate comet Per¬haps.' , That the support of the Tribune may in the'short run prove valuable to the University isundeniable. The University has, generallyspeaking, operated without the support (andeven the knowledge) of the city of Chicago.It has long been the fashion on the NorthShore to support Northwestern University, andthat institution has derived great benefit fromits Social Register sponsors. But aside fromprominent packers and a few notable others,the University of Chicago has depended onoutside succor.This, however, has not been an unmitigatedhandicap. Local civic leadership has tradi¬tionally been unenlightened; the city govern¬ment has been recurrently tainted with spoilspolitics of the worst sort. In this setting it isperhaps better that the University has grownThe ABCsPurpose of a College NewspaperThe college newspaper is a serious and importantstudent activity; it is a newspaper in every sense of theword, and must fulfill for its readers the primary func¬tion of all newsi)aper.s—to communicate to the humanrace what its members do, feel, and think . . .

I—Reprinted from The Daily lUini,“Ui August 5, 1934. I up under the wings of outside philanthropistsand educators.Thus we find some cause for alarm in thepresent alliance, if such it is, of the Universitywith the Tribune. President Hutchins himselfhas affirmed time and again that it is the dutyof this or any University to seek the truth.Yet the journalistic record of the Tribune, as isthat of other newspapers in the city, is one ofdeliberate perversion of the truth. The merefact that the Tribune has switched sides as re¬gards the University in particular does notassure us that it has made any thoroughgoingreformation. If, then, the Tribune and theUniversity are working toward opposite ends,it seems unlikely that they can work side bysideMembers of the University hqive alwaysbeen the severest critics of the school of jing¬oistic journalism of which the Tribune is anoted exponent. President Hutchins has statedin no uncertain terms what he thinks of news¬paper editors who attempt to increase theircirculation at a university’s expense. As longas unethical journalism exists it is to be hopedthat educated citizens will make every effortto expose and resist it.President Hutchins ascribes much of theconfusion of education today to the Love ofmoney. If by a favorable press he hopes tosecure some for our own institution, well andgood, but not if in doing so he has to yieldany measure of academic freedom. Thiswould only further confute the ideals of theinstitution.—J.G.M.The Travelling BazaarBy GEORGE FELSENTHALRUMOR DAYIN THE BAZAARFrom a small monastic cell in Lexington, Hallcomes the rumor that the future policy of the aris¬ing - from - the - ashes Phoenix will be anti¬scholastic and anti-neo-scholastic. Other rumors haveit that this anti policy is the result of a reaction to¬wards the recent articles of Herbert (last of theschoolmen) Schwartz. This is most interesting inview of the wide interest in the December Phoenix,the demand for which taxed the distributive talentsof the crumbling staff.The fact that the “old bird” will again arise fromthe ashes is not startling to the jaded senses of cam¬pus observers, for Phoenix has had a rather annoy¬ing habit of arising from the ashes which has be¬come, of late, monthly. One of these months theashes are going to become slightly dcssicated andthe magazine will go with the winds.The Phoenix used to sell many, many copies; butof late something seems to have gone amiss. Themagazine has been so successful in appealing to avaried audience that the only answer to the circula¬tion drop must be that the club girls who dispensethi.s commodity have lost their appeal. There has alsobeen the strange phenomenon of countless Phoenixstaff members leaving for parts unknown. This hasprobably been due to the tremendous profits of theenterprise; profits so huge that the economic royal¬ists receiving them have been enabled to take ex¬tended vacations.There is another rumor from the cell to the ef¬fect that the next issue will include a fine line draw¬ing of Thomas Aquinas being ridden on a rail out oftown by a group of people identified as both of thereaders of Phoenix.OTHER POST-VACATION *RUMORSIt has been rumored that there are absolutely nodark spots left in Foster since the recent renovationwhich resulted in light, cream-colored walls.Also prevalent is the rumor that there is to beno military ball. This rumor has been heard forsome years, but it is possible that it is well-foundedthis season since the recent withdrawal of the ROTC.The only militarists left, now, are Crossed Cannon,the campus cops, and the militant American StudentUnion.Dean Smith will soon grant recognition to theYoung Cockroaches League against Man and Beast,with headquarters in I..exington Hall. This is strictlya rumor.YOO, HOO!TARZAN.From the windsw'ept reaches of Highland Park(via Cody P,) comes the story of the village firemenwho, as is their custom, were repairing broken anddiscarded dolls to give away to the poor childrenon Christmas, All went well until they came uponone without any hair on its head. Not even a sign ofa hair. So they began looking for a doll wig. Nonebeing available, one of the firemen suggested a bonnetwith cotton sticking out from under it. It seemed theideal answer.But no! One of the burly men had the sense ofan artist. Carefully explaining that he would notwant his own little girl to have a doll without realhair, he bared his size 40 chest, and with great gustoclipped the hair thereon.Some little girl got a Christmas doll with realhair oit its head.

The con¬vention subsequently followed his>uggestion and pledged the ASU toa continuance of the present non-jiartisan program.Spanish Delegate SpeaksThe Tuesday afternoon sessionswore devoted to roundtables. At thebanquet Tuesday evening, the con¬vention was addre.s.sed by a youngCatholic delegate from Spain, repre¬senting the youth who are support¬ing the U)yalist government. Heurged unremitting war on Fascismwherever it appeared.Wednesday afternoon’s was themost important session of the con¬vention, at which program changeswere Considered. Severely censuringTeachers’ and Students’ Oath Bills,the body passed on to a hot discus->ion over the Oxford Pledge, andtinally voted for its retention on Theprogram. X resolution against en¬dorsement of the Collective Secur¬ity luinciple’ provoked a verbal dogtiirht on the convention floor. Theicsolution was voted down, but nopositive stand on Collective Securitywas taken. The convention then en¬dorsed participation with the Nation¬al (’ommittee on Student Co-opera¬tives “to provide those serviceswhich are so badly needed by thestudent co-operative movementthroughout the nation.”Davis Addrettet SessionAt the close of the session, theconvention was addressed by Pro¬fessor .Jerome Davis of Yale, whostat»“d that “there was too much em¬phasis on the discrepancy betw'eenour own culture and that of pre-Kevolution Russia.” Relating how hehad gone through the whole Bolshe-mk Revolution, Professor Davismaintained, “but I never felt morepersomH terror and horror thanwhen 1 visited some of our own‘peace-time’ coal counties in WestVirginia.”The last session, on Wednesdayevening, was devoted to election ofthe National Executive Committee.The present slate of national officerswas unanimously re-elected, with theexception of the post of NationalChairman, which will be filled by theex(‘cutive committee within the nextmonth.Eight ProfessorsReturn to CampusFight professors of the Humanitiesdivision who were not in residencela.«t quarter have returned to the(University to resume their officialroutine in the classrooms.Professor Werner W. Jaeger, orig¬inally scheduled to teach at the Uni¬versity during autumn quarter spentthe greater part of it delivering lec¬tures at the University of Edinburghin Scotland. He has just returned tothe Greek department.Others who will be on campus thisquarter, will be Franklin P. John¬son, assistant professor of the de¬partment of Art; Miss Laura vanPappelendam, instructor in Art; Rol-lo L. Lyman, professor of the Teach¬ing of English; George V. Bobrin-skoy, assistant professor of Sanskrit;William C. Gi’aham, professor of OldTesstament Language and Literature;A. Cornelius Benjamin, assistantprofessor of Philosophy; and CarlosCastillo, associate professor of Span¬ish. The editor of the publication report¬ed that he had never seen a petitiondemanding that the ouster proceed¬ings agains Frank be dropped underthreat of a student strike. He didsay that he heard of one hundredstudents who would strike if Frankwas dismissed.Granting the existence of a pro-Frank .sentiment among one hundredstudents, the conclusion that thesestudents represent the attitude ofthe campus as a whole is as false asa declaration that a handful of Com¬munists at the University of Chicagocharacterizes the political temper ofthe Midway.The Daily Cardinal has tried to re¬main neutral in the dispute. It hasintelligently called for a public hear¬ing which has intelligently beengranted. While it has refused to takesides in the controversy, it has dis¬closed its latent anti-Frank sentimentby rebutting Frank’s declaration thatunder his leadership the Universityof Wi.sconsin rose to a position whereit rated second among the Univer¬sities of this nation. The Cardinaltook great pains in pointing out thatthe University of Wisconsin was inone study rated ninth out of twelveuniversities listed.Union CommendsRegentsA further barometer of studentopinion was the acquiescence of theWisconsin delegation at the Ameri¬can Student Union to the declara¬tion by Joe Lash, secretary of the or¬ganization, to the effect that theUnion feels President Frank is beingousU'd because of inconrpetency asan administrator, and commendedthe University’s Board of Regentsfor holding open hearings on thecharges. The A.S.U. convention whichrevived and protested every infringe¬ment of civil liberties and academicfreedom from Tom Mooney to theJerome Davis case, did not see fit toprotest against the ouster proceed¬ings, Insofar as.there is a studentattitude, it is one of indifference.The position of the Wisconsin fac¬ulty is more clear. An overwhelmingnumber of faculty members are infavor of F’rank’s ouster. Rememberthat the State of Wisconsin and theUniversity of Wisconsin is an excit¬able and exciting place. If there isan infringement of academic free¬dom, the University of Wisconsin hasbut to look to its own ranks forspokesmen against the unwarrantedinterference. There are but few ed¬ucational institutions in the worldwhose record during the VV'orld Warcan compare with that of the Univer¬sity of VVisconsin on this count. Onlyrecently, faculty pressure threaten¬ed the city of VV’ar.saw, Wisconsin,with the removal of the University’sextension branch there because cer¬tain groups had interferred with theright of a young instructor to teachwhat he believed was the truth.VV’ith the historical tradition ofliberalism in Wisconsin strengthenedby proof of that liberalism within thespace of the past few months, is itnot reasonable to suppose that ifthere wa^ a denial of academic free¬dom in the instance of PresidentFrank’s removal, if there was theslighte.st suggestion of injustice. Uni¬versity of Wisconsin liberals wouldhave raised their voices in protest?But where are these liberal voices?Men of the highest integrity are allon the anti-Frank side.List Pro-Frank MenThere are, it is true, some pro-Frank men on the faculty, but someof these are men who have profitedby Frank’s absentee direction of theUniversity and who have lived in ananarchical state, independent ofFrank’s control. These men fear thata vigorous administrator would in¬terfere with their usurped preroga¬tives. Other pro-Frank men are com¬posed of the ever present elmentamong intellectuals who “agree withyour conclusions but don’t like yourmethod.” These men agree thatFrank is incompetent, but they areopposed to removing him against hiswill. There is still another class ofUniversity men who emphasizeFrank’s positive contributions to theUniversity. These men merit an au¬dience. They point out that Frankformed the experimental college,that he made observations about thecontent of education that are nowbeing repeated by leading educatorsall over the country, and that hemade the unconventional and at thesame time excellent appointment ofLloyd Garrison as Dean of the Wi.s¬consin Law School. These are ad¬ministrative acts which cannot be de¬nied, But the issues here being oneof bad administration, the over¬whelming portion of the Universityfaculty believe that these activitiesare offset by his incompetence inother activities.Newspapers in Wisconsin line upbehind Frank or behind LaFollettealong the lines of their general op¬position to or agreement with the pro¬ gressive movement. But let it be saidto the credit of the Milwaukee Jour¬nal, that though it is anti-LaFollettein other matters, in the present af¬fair, it is anti-Frank and has calledfor his removal. The MilwaukeeSentenel, consistently anti-New Dealand anti-LaFollette is 'pro-Frank.It is relevant to examine the na¬ture of the men who are actingagainst this background of publicopinion in Wisconsin. Glenn Frankcame to the University of Wisconsineleven years ago. As a young manhe had been associated with BillySunday, the evangelist, and he stillremains a genius at phrase making.In those eleven years he has subject¬ed himself to the following charges:1. He has vascillated in his deci¬sions. He will give two contradic¬tory instructions with respect to asingle project. While no bad motiveis charged, the act itself has repeat-ecly happened.2. When he was brought to Wis-consin by Govei-nor John Blaine, hewas granted $1,000,000 over the us¬ual budget of the University in orderto reconstruct the institution by theaddition of new courses, or the hir¬ing of new profes.sors. After elevenyears, the University has nothingtangible to show for this additionalexpenditure.By the laws of Wi.sconsin, the Gov-enor of the state is held responsibleto the legislature for the proper ex¬penditure of all monies appropriated.It is not unreasonable that GovernorLaFollette should perform the dutyprescribed for him by the laws ofWisconsin and should take some in¬terest in seeing that the moneygranted the University of Wisconsinis spent properly.Frank Casualto University3. President P'rank’s attitude to-!ward the University has always been jsomewhat casual. The amount oftime he was away from the Univer¬sity pursuing his own personal in¬terests made him inaccessible to thefaculty. Pmiergency projects whichneeded his approval were left un¬done, and to that degree was theUniversity badly administered.4. He made no attempt to im¬prove the morale of his teachingstaff^by forming a defensible systemof promotion. He approved highersalaries than the University couldafford to some men, including him¬self and on the other hand had no•appreciation of the condition underwhich younger members of the fac¬ulty were forced to live. The anti-P'rank men will grant that the cur¬tailment of funds by the legislature,would have made impossible any ma¬terial betterment. Their complaintcenters about the i)ossibility of get¬ting the facts presented o he presi¬dent.Now some of our liberals will per¬haps admit that these general state¬ments of Frank’s incompetence sug¬gest sufficient evidence to warranthis removal. But, they say, we don’tapprove of his removal if there ispolitics involved. W’hat constitutespolitics is unstated. A oeneficial actpa.ssed by the legislature could bythis from of mind be damned as in¬sidious because men holding politicaloffice were instrumental in bringingit about.It will be fruitful to inquire infothe nature of the political figures in-olved in this ease. Gov, Philip La¬Follette was at one time associatedwith the University of Wisconsin as a law professor. Like his father andbrother he has always looked to theUniversity for help in the workingout of legislative reforms. He viewsthe University of Wisconsin set inthe context of a great liberal state,and he believes that the Universitycan rise to eminence among Ameri¬can educational institutions.Talk about his own desire to be¬come President of the institution isutter nonsense. Though it is by nomeans certain that he will get thepost, the man spoken of as Frank’ssuccessor, is Lloyd Garrison, deanof the Wisconsin law school, formerChairman of the Labor RelationsBoard, president of the AmericanLaw School Association, an advocateof liberalizing the Constitution, anda man who was singled out by news¬paper men covering the meetings ofthirteen learned societies meetingthis Christmas vacation in Chicago,as one of the outstanding personal¬ities among the 3,000 professors inattendance.Charges of social rivah’y betweenMrs. LaFolette and Mrs. Frank areso preposterous that they do notmerit the dignity of attention. Any¬one familiar with the spartan simplic¬ity of the LaFollette home will dis¬miss as vicious chatter any state¬ments that Mrs. Frank’s claim forsocial deference is an issue for theLaFollette’s.Floor LeaderAnti-LaFolletteWe come now to the heart of thecharges against Gov. LaFollette.The governor is charged with stack¬ing the Board of ‘Regents againstI’rank. As a preliminary statementit is necessary to say that Dan Grady,the floor leader for Frank is a La¬Follette appointee.During the years Phillip LaFollettehas served as Governor, the terms ofa number of regents have expired.Where could the Governor look forreappointments. Among Chappie’scrowd? Among a reactionary Demo¬cratic crowd? He sought his repre¬sentatives among farmers, laborers,and professional men who make upWisconsin liberalism. The Presidentof the Wisconsin Board of Rogentsis Herald Wilke, a LaFollette ap¬pointee, and regarded as one of theablest lawyers in the state. Thereis no proof that any regent was ap¬pointed to the Board of Regents con¬tingent on his ousting Frank.The vote now stands 8 to 7 in fav¬or of Frank’s removal. One of theseseven men. John Callahan, switched. from a pro-LaFollette to a pro-Frank position. As superintendentof public schools up for reelection,he fears offending schoolmen in thestate of Wisconsin who may agreewith the charge that Frank is incom¬petent, but who do not like to see aman removed from his post againsthis will. Another one of these sev¬en is Dan Grady, the LaFollette ap¬pointee whose selection as a regentwas warned against by Wisconsinliberals on the grounds of his per¬sonal record.Novelist Backs FrankFrank’s most widely publicizedsupporter is Zona Gale whose de¬fence of the President may be ex¬plained on the grounds that she issupposed to have been responsiblefor his appointment. She avows herlove for the principles of “FightingBib” LaFollette but regards his sonsas undisciplined political leaders.While Glenn Frank has succeededin presenting himself to the Ameri- jcan people as a victim of political jmaneuvering, and while he may pos- isibly succeeded in winning to his |side an additional regent to tide jhim over the test he will face this |Wednesday or Thursday, it is inevit¬able that sooner or later he will beforced to leave Wisconsin.When that time comes the motivefor action will be, not an infringe¬ ment of academic rights, but a be¬lief on the part of those associatedwith the University that he has pass¬ed a point where he can be expectedto accomplish much more at Wis¬consin. Those who oppose him arewilling to admit that he is a bril¬liant thinker. But they tend to re¬gard him as a tragic-comic figurewhose difficulties spring from sourceswithin his own makeup.It can add little merit to the caseagainst Frank to kick him now thathe is down. His position has beentersely summarized by the Nationmagazine, “Glenn Frank does notlike the University of Wisconsin andthe University of Wisconsin does notlike Glenn Frank.”CLASSIHED ADSRadio phonograph combination.

TUESDAY. JANUARY 5. 1937Maroon Quintet Continues toImprove; Meets MarquetteSeek Revenge in Game withHilltoppers Squad To¬morrow Night.The Maroon basketeers are pre¬paring to avenge a previous defeatby Marquette when they meet theHilltoppers tomorrow night in thefield house.The Chicago quintet at this timeappears more capable of handlingthe Milwaukee team a trimming thanwhen they met four weeks ago. Inthat game the Maroons’ sterling de¬fense which held the opponents score¬less for the first ten minutes, re¬laxed toward the close of the gameand Marquette gained a 25-21 vic¬tory. Norgren’s men have increasedin stamina and fight since then andwith the defense shown in the lasthalf against Notre Dame will beplasring on more even terms.An injury to Mullins in Saturday’sgame will keep him out of competi¬tion for two or three games. Hisplace will be filled by Cassels whowill be paired with Eggemeyer at theforwards; Amundsen will occupy hisregular center position, and the guard work will be divided betweenRossin, Fitzgerald and Petersen.These guards will have their handsfull when they attempt to stop thehigh-scoring Marquette forward, So-kody.Develop in HolidaysThe steady improvement of theMaroon hardwood five, displayed inthe closing games of the winterqarter, was even more evident in theholiday games with Armour Techand Notre Dame.Bob Fitzgerald’s ability to con¬nect from outside the free throwcircle in the Armour contest was theanswer to Nels Norgren’s prayers fora guard who is as good on offenseas he is on defense. The Maroons letup in the last half of this fray andwere given quite a scare by the Tech-men.The defense of the Maroons, al-1ready being feared in Big Ten cir- 'cles, continued to be excellent ’against Notre Dame’s fast breakingforwards.

W. McGillivray is notover-optimistic about the chances ofhis team in this league. He believesthat the team to beat is the JewishPeoples’ Institute, whose rosterboasts two former Olympic stars andboasts two former Olympic stars.The Big Ten conference scheduleopens on January 16, when the Ma¬roons entertain the NorthwesternUniversity watar- polo and swimteams following the Chicago-North¬western basketball game. A new plan permitting C bookholders to reserve basketball seatsthroughout the season upon the'pay¬ment of one dollar was announcedyesterday by T. Nelson Metcalf, Di¬rector of Athletics.Similar in operation to the systemused during the football season, theplan provides for the issuance of acard to each C book holder who paysan extra dollar. The card will re¬serve a particular seat in the westbleachers for the home basketballMild Weather MeltsNorth Stand RinkIce skating under the north standsof Stagg field has necessarily beendiscontinued for the present accord¬ing to T. Nelson Metcalf, Directorof Athletics, because the unseason¬able weather during the vacation ha-;:completely melted the ice. However,if the present freezing weather con-'tinues, it may be possible to refreezethe rink soon. Captain Finwall, WhitesideForm Nucleus of 1937Mat Squad.Coach Spyrros Vorres sent hiswrestling squad through a briskworkout today in an attempt to se¬lect a first-string line-up before theseason’s opener with Wheaton Fridaynight at Bartlett Gymnasium.At present Captain Bob Finwall,145 pounds, and Sam Whiteside,heavyweight, are the only men as¬sured of starting positions. DaveTinker, a minor-letter winner lastseason, seems best at 118 pounds,while the light-heavyweight berth isa toss-up between Ed Valorz andFred Lenhardt.The remaining positions will befilled by inexperienced sophomores.Allan Tully, most promising of the165-pounders, is being kept frompiactice by a facial infection and isa doubtful starter in the early meets. ;Dzobay, Freese, Schoonmaker, andMottl are regarded by the coatfh ashaving the best chance to wrestleFriday. Lack of Lettermen MavHinder HigrHly-ToutedMaroons.Seriously lacking in experiencedmaterial, the gymnastics team willstart on its way towards retainingI its championship reputation when itI faces Morton Junior College at Bart¬lett gymnasium on January 20.' Coach Dan Hoffer, however, ha?, high hopes in his new prospects,which include four sophomores andtwo juniors. The chief hopes areCaptain Nelson Weatherall, a junior,and Erwin Beyer, sophomore, an all-round performer who is expected totake several all-conference tKles.Following the Morton Meet, theteam is scheduled to face Minne¬sota on February 6 at Minneapolis,Illinois here on February 6 and atIllinois on the 27th, Iowa he'e onFebruary 18, and finally, the teamwill participate in the conferencemeet at Iowa on March 13.Last year the Maroons regainedthe Big Ten title which they havewon almost regularly for severalyears.CHINAMANILAGUAMOQia SAN FRANCISCOon a new cruiseCopyright 1937, LiGCBTT & Mybus TobaOX) Co^ Carrying more pleasure to more people. . . giving smokers what they want. • .
