Schuman, former assi.st-ant professor of Political Science atthe University, whose resignationfrom the faculty to accept a positionas a full professor of Political Sci¬ence at Williams college was recent¬ly announced.“I regard it as a major loss to theUniversity of Chicago. I have al¬ways thought of him as an admirableteacher and a delightful colleague,”stated Harry D. Gideon.se, associateprofessor of Economics.In discussing the matter, HaroldF. Gosnell, associate pi’ofessor of Po¬litical Science, who has known Pro¬fessor Schuman for many years bothas a student and colleague, stated,“We are soiTy to see him go, but itwas just one of those cases of cir-cuinstances. We all have a greatdeal of admiration for him and wishhim the best of luck.” He pointedout that the loss was paiticularlygreat also in that Schuman was thecenter of controversy in the “Red”investigation of several years ago.Gosnell stated that, as a result ofcorrespondence he has had withSchuman, he feels certain that theUniversity did all in its power tokeep him and that Schuman has noreason for complaint against any ofthe members of the administration,the reason for the change being dueto the greater future open at Wil¬liams. group won the contest. The FederalTheater presentation was barredby Robert P. Dunham, thenstate WPA administrator, because itwas “of such a moral character thatI can’t even discu.ss it.” The censor¬ship seemed to be ba.sed mainly onprofanity in the play.“Waiting for Lefty,” which hasbeen played in more places simul¬taneously than any other play in thehistory of the American theater, wasthe first play to call attention toClifford Odets, now recognized as oneof the most important young play¬wrights in America. Using the dra¬matic technique of short flash-backs,the play shows a company union or¬ganizer advising against a walk-out,and members of the committee re¬vealing why a strike was necessary.

GoldingAssistants: Seymour Miller and Charles CraneThursday, February 25, 1937 No Student organization coming to Schu-man for aid or advice ever left his office with¬out the conviction that it had in Schuman aninterested friend. He performed an invalu¬able service in tempering the average stu¬dent’s conception of the University’s facuUyas being composed of men so concerned withtheir own academic advancement that theyare intolerant of a student’s trespassing ontheir office hours. Mr. Schuman’s genius isall the more remarkable in that he was abledespite all the time he alloted to students, toproduce academic works which had few rivalsfor places of honor in the field of politicalscience.Few students will forget the carbolic witwhich characterized all his public utterances.One of the most memorable speeches ever de¬livered at the University was his address be¬fore the Veterans of Future Wars when insystematically ambiguous terms he presenteea whole program for American neutrality. Inthat one speech he characterized the habits ofthought, which made his classes the most ex¬citing in the field of political science: theenumeration of the variable factors involvedin the situation, the possibilities for certain var¬iables combining, and the prediction of conse¬quences that would flow from the combina¬tion of certain variables. More than any oth¬er man, he approached mathematical precisionin thinking about social problems.There is no moral to draw from Mr. Schu¬man’s departure. One does not become moralabout a catastrophe in nature. Mr. Schuman’sdeparture is a great loss to the Universitystudent body. It is a pity that circumstancescould not be combined to iftsure his return tothe University next year. The Daily Maroonrespectfully submits to the University admin¬istration that it will do its students a great ser¬vice by insuring his return to the Universityat the earliest possible time.—S. H.Resignation of Schuman—A CatastropheFrederick Schuman’s acceptance of a fullprofessorship at Williams College has left stu¬dents speculating whether his leaving Chicagowas due to his being made uncomfortablehere because of his “liberal” utterances, orwhether he left because Williams outbid theUniversity by granting him an increase in sal¬ary and in rank.Though sections of the University’s alumnidenounced Schuman during the Red Investi¬gation as vehemently as did the metropolitanpress, it is to the everlasting credit of Presi¬dent Hutchins and Charles E. Merriam thatthey did not hesitate to give him public sup¬port. In view of this action during a time ofstress, the contention of University administra¬tors that Mr. Schuman’s alleged utteranceshad nothing to due with his leaving the Uni¬versity seems plausible. The alternative ex¬planation that Schuman was attracted by a in¬crease in salary and academic rank at Williamsremains.Students are not, perhaps, qualified to passjudgment on who shall get what when in theacademic hierarchy. Perhaps they are notqualified to pass judgment on what constitutesgood scholarship. Because of ignorance con¬cerning the offers of the University to Mr.Schuman, we are forced to accept the Univer¬sity s position that within the range of possibleaction, it exerted reasonable effort to securehis return to the University.However incompetent students may be toexpress judgment on administrative measures,they are the only ones qualified to pass judg¬ment on which professors play the most sig¬nificant roles in exciting their minds.Students are preeminently qualified to saythat Schuman was one of the University’s'great persons. They are in a better positionthan any administrator to give testimony tothe fact that Mr. Schuman’s departure has lefta gap in student life. Few professors haveever merited the universal respect implied inthe question students would ask whenever anevent of importance occurred in national orinternational relations. What does Schumanthink about it? prefaced most student dis¬cussions.Despite the portrait in the press of Mr.Schuman as an ogre, there were few men inthe University who were more universally lov¬ed by their students. They recall him in anheroic light: the dignity with which he cch-ducted himself during the period when he wasbeing stupidly attacked in the preps. The Travelling BazaarBy jOHN MORRISPLIGHT DESPERATESo at last it’s come to this. No campus journal¬ist is deserving of the name until he has writtenthe Bazaar at least once, so here goes.« * «FACULTY FEUDFitzroy Norman Maclean lectured in Humanitiesyesterday, opening with a tirade against the ad¬ministration of the course which had taken awayfrom him his pet subject, Rabelais, and tossed it intothe lap of one Leon Smith. The idea of a Dean ofStudents lecturing on Rabelais seemed too, too pre¬posterous to Mac. “It is his job to look out forbackward boys and forward girls . . . It’s as if youhad Dr. Osborne (up here, dressed like Carl Sand¬burg, (here Mac pulled his hair down over his face),strumming a guitar, and singing Frankie and John¬ny.’’At a late hour last night. Dean Smith still deniedthe persistent rumor that he had dared Norm todrink him under the table in the back room of Han¬ley’s.* * *A LITTLE WOBBLYWe have often thought that it would take nothingless than a high speed motion picture camera tomake a portrait of Norm Maclean, for his face isnever twice the same. This is just_background fora story which we heard from the Assistant Dean ofStudents.Two years ago the afternoon Humanities lectureswere broadcast. As not all of the lecturers wereveterans of the ether, there was some little difficultyin getting the boys to speak into the microphone, totime properly, etc. However, none encountered thesad fate that fell to Norm Maclean one afternoon.He had started to deliver in his normal, uninhib¬ited style, when a telephone call came to the con¬trol man in the Mitchell tower studio. It was thestation downtown. “He’s drunk!’’ said the voicedowntown. The control man tried to explain thatMaclean was most certainly no drunk. A few min¬utes later came a second call: “He must be drunk;cut him off!’’ Down came the switch.* * *FATHER AND SONFrom what we can gather from Psychology 201,Harold Swenson must have had more queer exper¬iences than any member of the faculty (and to lookat some of them, this is saying a lot).One day about two weeks ago Swenson was lec¬turing on Rationalization. To make clear his point,he told how his father, “one of the world’s worstdrivers,’’ had rationalized himself into buying a car,had gotten into three wrecks within a week, hadconsequently sold the car, saying that he no longerneeded it in his business.At the close of the lecture. Father Swenson, whohad quietly taken one of the rear seats, came upto greet his son. Lettersto the EditorPHOENIX AGAIN INTERPRETSEditor,The Daily Maroon:In an evasive editorial written byElRoy Golding in last Friday’s Ma¬roon, it is stated that the MaroonPontiac-incident editorial in no wayimplied the sentiment “kick the Redsout.’’ According to that and theprevious editorial, your position isthat when an individual or organiza¬tion is guilty of stupid tactics you“doubt the worth” of such an indi¬vidual or organization, which wouldseem to indicate removal from cam¬pus of the doubted quantities.Organizational activity is depend¬ent upon the judgment of individualmembers. Individuals are fallible.Just so are organizations fallible. Ifthe Maroon policy is to be carried toits logical conclusion, all who blun¬der should be expelled from the Uni¬versity, which would end the Maroon.If the Maroon does not wish to car¬ry its policy to its obvious end, thenit means to say that only left-wing¬ers who blunder should be expelled.Either way the left-wing wouldcome first, for the left-wing is mostactive and hence errs most frequent¬ly. . .But we said nothing of censorship.We spoke of influence. Maroon pol¬icy, we said, was inevitably pervert¬ed on the Pontiac affair because itwas a direct reflection of PublicityOffice policy, which is inevitably per¬verted by the love of money. Let meassure you of safety in denial, in thatI will not make public the inspirationfor the challenge to you to deny thatthe Publicity Office either inspiredor directed your editorial on thePontiac affair.

Ifthis is so, Jessie Matthews’ new pic¬ture, “Head Over Heels in Love’’must be admitted to have fallen shortof the goal. The film opens at thePalace Theater Friday.Let us hope however, that theBritish picture industry will have thesense to realize that the very factthat the movie differs from the usualmusical hodgepodge constitutes itschief appeal, and let us hope, furth¬ermore, that Hollywood takes a tip.Perhaps the nicest discovery wemade upon seeing Miss Matthews’latest effort, is that musical numberscan be highly effective without theaddition of a 60 piece orchestra or100 Beautiful Girls. The simplicityof .Mis.s Matthews’ various acts is dueto a complete absence of such super¬fluous features as large choru.ses,dazzling sets, or thunderous accom¬paniments. We are a little bitafraid, however, that U. S. movie(lueens, possibly lacking the voice oranatomical charms which this splen¬did British mis.** displays so neatly,are forced to call for aid upon allthe .spectacular devices which themovie men can mu.ster, (and, myCod, how they can muster!)There are also a few violets which"hould be thrown in the direction of.Messrs. Gordon and Revel, who areresponsible for the songs which areso beautifully pre.«ented. Such num¬bers as “Lookin’ Around the Cornersfor You” and “May I Have the NextRomance with You?” should rankamong the best of the year.Only in the plot, which, so theyell us, shouldn’t be too good in amusical anyway, do we find ourselveslooking around for a little Americanpunch. The not-too-convincing tran-siUons .from the casual to the melo¬dramatic, would, perhaps, have beenhelped out had the actors shown abit more fire.These little issues, however, arebe.side the point, since most peoplewill see this movie for the catchysongs and for a healthy look at Mi.s.s.Matthews’ splendid underpinnings.The former are there in great profu¬sion and well presented, and, as forthe latter, from all we could see, they>eem to be holding up pretty well.* « *We saw an uninspired perform¬ance of the “Follies” the other nightand were rather disappointed. Fan¬nie Brice seemed to be the only out-•standing feature of the review and j•she did not give her all to the unen-thusiastic audience. The skits wererather humorous in spots but origin¬ality wa.s conspicuously lacking. Theentire production seemed to lack theusual punch and feeling of spontane¬ity that usually predominates in theZiegfield enterprises. However theperformance we saw is not in har¬mony w'ith the current campus-wisereports which are indicative of ahighly-amusing, sophisticated musi-cale.* * *The D’oyle Carte is still the cartede jour in Chicago’s Rialto. In a per¬formance of “Trial By Jury” andPirates of Penzance” last weekend-Martin Green, Sydney Granville et alwere superb. The legal farce, Gil-beit and Sullivan’s first effort, wasperfectly presented. The well-wornspectacle of many high school dramacircles was rejuvenated with spiritedprecision and masterfulness. We no¬ticed, however, that one part of thecompany could be improved uponand that is the group of female leads.Their acting is parallel to the Play-eis tradition but their voices are farbelow par.* * *-■^n old favorite has returned tothe Three Duces, 222 North StateStreet, the rendezvous of Swing ad¬dicts, in the person of Cleo Brown,the famous negi’o recording artistand master of swing piano with ap¬propriate vocal accompaniment. Wehad a long talk with Cleo and shemade our visit delightfully enter¬taining. It seems that she has justleturned from Hollywood where shedid several shorts and worked withBing” Crosby.

The extrashelving required for this enlarge¬ment of the book stock will be pro¬vided by throwing rooms 301 and302 together and putting the option¬al books under attendance in room307 across the corridor.Segregate Conversationalists^yith the cooperation of DeanBrumbaugh, arrangements have beenmade for turning one of the roomson the third floor into a lobby wherestudents may meet and converse.This is aimed at reducing the noiseat the library doors. If the planproves successful more adequate fa¬cilities will be found.In Harper reading room importantalterations are to be made. The re¬serve books which are now stackedin the enclosure at the southwest cor¬ner of the room will be placed in thePeriodical reading room which ad¬joins it on the east. A place forthe periodicals thus displaced will bemade by the creation of two alcovesat the ea.st end of the room.Two double backed book cases willbe set in a north-south direction soas to enclose an area on either sideof the last table. The two tablesaffected will be brought to the south¬west end, where the reserve book en¬closure now stand.s. A lobby will becreated under the balcony and newstacks erected beyond the counter.Here, too, it is expected that therewill be marked increase in the num¬ber of copies provided after the fac¬ulty have made the necessary surveysof prospective courses and registra¬tions, so that library needs may beknown.The effect of these revisions is ade¬quate .shelving for the reserve books,Today on theQuadrangles from page 1)and their removal enables the refer¬ence books to occupy all the shelvesaround the reading room. There willbe no change in the seating capacityof the room, nor the amount of shelfspace. Plans are now being made toaugment the present reference ma*terial.Wieboldt ChangesIn Wieboldt reading room some¬thing of the same sort will be done.The reserves now stretched alongthe north wall will be concentratedin an enclosure created by floorbook-casing at the north-east corner.The shelving thus freed will be open¬ed to increased reference material.Detailed studies in modernizationof the lighting are being made forHarper, Law, Classics, Eckhart, andRosenwald. In the case of Rosen-wald the study is completed, and in¬stallation about to commence. Inplanning lighting, many difficultiesare found. Dr. Raney explained. InHarper, it is difficult to put in norelights without great expense or mar¬ring the architectural beauty of thebuilding. Other universities encoun¬tering a similar problem employeddesk lamps. This method has beentried in the Law library in the past,but it failed. Differences in light in¬tensity throughout such a lai’geroom, too, are harmfulVn the eyes,oculists assert. The lighting solutionis overhead illumination over the en¬tire area to replace the chandeliers.The arrangements will not be a tem¬porary check to the evil, but a per¬manent remedy.The librarians in Cobb and Harperpraised the alteration plans. “It willimprove the study conditions,” theyopined. They asserted that the num¬ber of books and their greater avail¬ability would make the libraries ofmore service to the students. Stu¬dents, too, welcomed this new planwhich will provide more convenient Iand effective facilities.1Phi Delta Upsilon. Alumnae Room jof Ida Noyes at 12.Dames Bridge Group.

THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 25. 1937Freshmen Impressive in Scrimmage;Promise to Bolster Varsity FiveBy“PETE”Judging from results of many re¬cent practice scrimmages with thevarsity, the freshman basketballsquad shows promise of bolsteringthe University’s chances of winningseveral games next year. And,\D beoptimistic, this year’s crop of fresh¬men, combining with the next year,may end the season in the first divi¬sion which would be “really some- Jthing.” !Kyle Anderson’s frosh are tacklingthe varsity almost every afternoonnow, although, as the verb implies,the playing is ragged and rough. Thefreshmen never are beaten by thewide margin indicated in the unoffi¬cial score kept by sideline observers.Nearly everyone at Monday morn¬ing’s practice agreed that the firstyear men actually turned the trickof beating the varsity by about thesame score as the Ohio State game,although, of course, the regularswere tired from the Buckeye tilt. ‘Both Norgi’en and Anderson smileto see the work turned out by BobBigielow, frosh center from Ham¬mond, Indiana, who stands about sixfoot three. Bigelow plays practical¬ly without substitution and with aconsistent style. What is mox'e im¬portant, he constantly bothers the bigMaroons by dumping in buckets orby cleverly feeding .setups to hismates.The frosh forwards are not consis¬tent yet, but Dick Amundsen, Paul’syounger brother, is another playerwho stretches into the ozone, aboutan inch farther than Bigelow, andpesters the hoop in addition to doinggood floor work. Paine, Allen, Stan¬ley, and Reynolds make up the rest WALLACEof the roster of front coui’t men. Al¬len has been outstanding lately be¬cause his great speed and deadly ac¬curacy have offset his distinct disad¬vantage in size.The most promising guards in thescrimmages have been Harry Top¬ping, Vic Cook, and Howard Isaac¬son. Cook and Isaacson are verytough on defense due to their nat¬ural gifts of being huskily built andwell over six feet. Topping, however,stands out as being aggressiveenough on offense to garner a sur¬prising number of points. Both ofthe others are also able to find thehoop with ease. Other guards areParsons, Kromhout, Moyer, and Wal¬lace.I-M GamesGames Tonight7:45—Alpha Delta Phi vs. Phi Gam¬ma Delta8:30—Hoffer’s Reds vs. WonderFlashes ,9:15—Psi Upsilon “B” vs. Phi SigmaDelta “X”Harvey Lawson set a new high forindividual scoring in the presentcampaign when he dropped fourteenbuckets for twenty-eight points tolead Psi Upsilon to a 50-8 win overChi Psi.
