Casting DirectorSearches Campusfor Screen TalentIf you think your technique cancompete with Garbo’s or Taylor’s,your chance has come. Joseph J. Hol¬ton, casting director of TwentiethCentury-Fox, in Chicago in search of“ivory,” yesterday invited all Univer¬sity students who have “intelligenceand personality” to take screen tests.To register for tests, students shouldleave their names, addresses, andtelephone numbers at The Daily Ma¬roon desk, today after 3:30.Holton explained that his Chicagovisit is primarily in search of newleading men and women and personssuitable for juvenile roles. Thoughprodigious ^infants and character ac¬tors are unwanted, the studio wishesto sign novelty artists on the orderof the Ritz brothers. To apply stu¬dents need not be experienced actors—natural talent and personality arethe prime requisites as the studiomaintains a school to give finish toamateur thespians. Asked whetherphysical charms were important Hol¬ton .said: “Of course we want pret¬ty girls and good .looking men, butthat is not everything.”Gaylord formed his first bandwhen the scheduled orchestra failedto appear for a Junior prom at WestVirginia University, and has follow¬ed this collegiate beginning with ap¬pearances at various college affairs.Insisting on informality, the ballcommittee, headed by ClarenceWright, stated that costumes are totake an important part in the car¬nival festivities. In view of the lowcost for the whole affair, carnivalparticipants are asked to make thecostumes themselves, so far as is pos¬sible. Originality should be the key¬note. Complete disguise will beachieved by masks, which will notbe shed until midnight, at whichtime prizes will be awarded to thewearer of the most original garb.Dance in Commons Harper SpeaksBefore AlumniHonor Jay Berwanger atMonthly Luncheon ofChicago Club.Professor Samuel N.

Reintegration of the UniversityBy PRESIDENT ROBERT MAYNARD HUTCHINS{The following is the complete text of the speech delivered by PresidentHutchins at the annual Trustees* Dinner for the Faculty Friday eveningat the South Shore Country Club.)The distinction of this university rests on the quality of itsresearch and its ventures in the organization and subject-matter ofeducation. In order to maintain the distinction of the univer¬sity we must in the first place have men. This year seven depart¬ments were materially strengthened. Next year twelve more willbe. All the fifteen men who have been appointed for next yearwere selected primarily for their eminence or promise in researchand we have reason to believe that they are good teachers too.Only one of them is of professorial rank. Only two of them areover thirty. Of the fifteen, twelve are in the natural sciences.We see therefore that the University is being reinforced, thatit is being reinforced with young men, and that it is being rein¬forced on the side of research and particularly of research in thenatural sciences. The emphasis the University has placed on sci¬ence and research will continue and may even increase.In a university research is sometimes employed as a veil ora cloud into which the individual may disappear when inter¬rogated about his work. To the question, “What are you do¬ing?” the single answer "research” is used with devastating effect.No further questions can be put without invading the professor’sconstitutional rights. If we are to maintain the distinction of theUniversity, we must be sure that all our investigations are relevantto something and that that something is important. 1 need notadd that 1 do not propose to settle myself the question of therelevance and importance of a professor’s work. It is the respon¬sibility of his dean, his chairman, of his academic peers, and hisown conscience.Science, 1 venture to think, should not be a veil or a cloudeither. Many people, even scientists, have a misconception ofwhat science is. And many people are doing sloppy work in itsname. Nor should science be used as an excuse for ignorance ofeverything else. It is not an excuse for denying the existence ofother types of knowledge or for dogmatic expressions on subjectsnot susceptible of scientific investigation.As 1 said on this occasion three years ago in a speech whichsome of you could not have heard, all knowledge comes fromexperience. It develops from experience by reflection. The sci¬entific effort is to get knowledge from experience through specialprocesses of research, by directed observations in planned inves¬tigations under special controls and conditions. The philosophicaleffort extends the boundaries not of ordinary experience but ofreflections about ordinary experience. Philosophy is thereforeknowledge, though it is not achieved in the same manner as sci¬entific knowledge. We need not be disturbed because philo¬sophers have disagreed. Scientists can disagree without throw¬ing science in disrepute because they all agree on the object andthe method of science. Disagreements among philosophers donot destroy the value of philosophy as long as philosophers agreeon the object and method of philosophy.The problem of the relation of scientific knowledge to philo¬sophical knowledge is a philosophical problem. So is the prob¬lem of ordering and differentiating the various sciences. The di¬visional structure of this university, and the association of depart¬ments within divisions, are the embodiment of a philosophical con¬clusion about the distinctions and subject-matters of knowledge.In fact there are few if any questions about educational policy,about the contents of the curriculum or the sequence of studies,that can be answered without recourse to philosophy. What Iam asking you to agree to is limited to three points: first, that allknowledge comes from experience; second, that philosophy isknowledge, knowledge different from science, and having an in¬dependent validity; and third, that philosophy is related to sci¬ence in terms of a generality which enables it to provide the prin¬ciples underlying the special sciences and to establish the orderof the facts and principles of all knowledge. As Huxley put it,“Philosophy inquires into the foundation of the first principleswhich our mental operations assume or imply.”We all have a philosophy or metaphysics, whether we knowit or not, and we all act upon it. The philosophy or metaphysicsof the faculty determines the research program of the faculty.The philosophy or metaphysics of the faculty determines the cur¬riculum. Even statements that seem to deny metaphysics, likethe statements there is no god, or everything is a matter of opin¬ion, are metaphysical statements. I profess simply that we rec¬ognize these facts and try to make our philosophy or metaphysicsas rational as possible. In this connection we must rememberthat the methods developed by philosophy are, in their way, asrigorous as the methods of science. We ought to feel the samehesitation about sweeping philosophical statements made with¬out philosophical training that we have learned to feel aboutsweeping scientific statements made without scientific training.1 am not suggesting that we should all have the same viewson basic questions. 1 am not even suggesting that we should agreeon what questions are basic. 1 do suggest that if a university isto be anything more than a random collection of specialists and(Continued on page 2) Imported CallersGive Atmosphereto Chapel DanceClad in blue overalls and checkedgingham, in accordance with bestbarn dance tradition, and assisted bytwo imported callers, one a hill-billyfrom the Tennessee mountains andthe other a lumberjack from Wash¬ington, University students willdance at the second all-campus barndance of the year, Friday night inIda Noyes Hall.Although barn dance etiquette de¬mands that dancing last “from thelast milkin’ in the afternoon to thefirst milkin’ the next morning,” onlyone who has been brought up on asteady diet of barn dances can lastthat long, so the committee has prom¬ised to Unish by 11, at which timerefreshments will be served.In preparation for the affair, thecallers.

Thus the rally isalso supporting the granting to Con¬gress of express powers to passeconomic and social legislation. Otheruniversity campuses are also sched¬uling similar meeting's this month inopposition to the “Roosevelt for King”clubs recently started at Yale to dis¬credit the proposed measure. Campusorganizations favoring the revisionhave been invited to participate inthe rally which begins at 12 in Eck-hart 133.• In addition, the ASU is sponsoringthe movie, “Madrid Under Fire,” onApril 15 to raise funds for medicalaid to Spain. Native Spanish enter¬tainment has been procured for theevening’s program which begins at8 in the Reynolds club. Admissionprice is 25 cents.Following the Student Peace Strikeon April 22, the organization hasalso planned an open house party.Open to the campus at no admissioncharge, the party will feature danc¬ing and games as entertainment. Re¬ports from strikes throughout thecountry will also be read at the affairwhich begins at 8. DeMille GivesMoody Lecturein Mandel Hall/Boynton Introduces Holly¬wood Producer-DirectorTonight.When Percy Boynton, professor ofEnglish, introduces the guest speak-j er for the Moody Foundation seriestonight in Mandel Hall at 8:15, hewill present a versatile producer, di¬rector, author and lecturer, all in theperson of one William C. deMille.Arriving in Chicago today, Mr. de¬Mille will be welcomed at the Quad¬rangle club and will lecture tonighton “The Motion Picture as an Art.”A limited number of free ticketsfor the lecture are still available atthe information office. Among thebox holders who will be seen in Man-del hall this evening are Mr. andMrs. Edgar J. Goodspeed, Dr. andMrs. Franklin C. McLean, Mr. andMrs. Mortimer J. Adler, Frank Hu¬bert O’Hara, Mr. and Mrs. Fred East¬man, Ernest W. Burgess, and Mr.and Mrs. Louis A. Landa. A dinnerin honor of deMille will be givenearlier in the evening by Dr. andMrs. C. Phillip Miller.Producer and DirectorGraduate of the American Acad¬emy of Dramatic Arts, deMille is per¬haps most noted for the work he hasdone since 1914 as producer and di¬rector for Paramount, Pathe, andMetro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios. Aneducation at Columbia Universityand in Germany, followed by a longperiod of training in legitimate the¬ater technique in New York, preceed-ed these more recent achievements.Making lavish use of spectacles, de¬Mille has produced many films, amongwhich “Tenth Avenue,” “Craig’sWife,” “The Doctor’s Secret,” “TheIdle Rich,” “This Mad World,” and“Passion Flower,” are outsrtanding.In 1932 he directed “Two Kinds ofWomen” for Paramount and in thenext year co-directed “His DoubleLife” for the same company.His work as playwright and au¬thor includes “Strongheart,” “TheWarrens of Virgrinia,” “The Woman,”as well as other plays, sketches, andregular contributions to magazines.Strike CommitteeSelects SpeakersSelecting three speakers, membersof the peace strike committee willcomplete final program plans for thestrike April 22 at a meeting in So¬cial Science 108 at 3:30 tomorrow.According to present plans, thestrike will start with a meeting inHutchinson Court, where the paradewill be organized by a gfroup of mar¬shals headed by Lloyd James.The program committee has sug¬gested that the three speakers, in¬stead of representing various fac¬tions and splitting the unity of thecampus on the peace question, berepresentative of three groups, theyouth movement, liberal peace move¬ments, and labor.Professors Praise Wagner Labor ActDecision; See End of Strike WaveThe Supreme Court of the UnitedStates in a series of five decisionsyesterday upheld the constitutional¬ity of the Wagner labor relations actguaranteeing to labor the rights oforganization and united bargaining.Asked to comment upon the de¬cision, W. H. Spencer, professor ofBusiness Law and Dean of the Busi¬ness School, said: “I like it verymuch. It appears that the act willbe applicable to all national indus¬tries, and a stabilization of the laborsituation and the end of the currentstrike wave should be the result.”Professor of Economics Paul H.Douglas also was grreatly pleasedwith the decision, and expressed theview of Dean Spencer in almost thesame words when asked what effectthe ruling would have on the laborsituation.Professor of Law Charles O. Greg¬ory, just returned from a year onleave spent as assistant solicitor gen¬eral of the Department of Labor,said that Washington opinion feltthat had the Court thrown out the Wagner bill it would have been sign¬ing its political death warrant.Asked to comment upon the min¬ority opinion, Gregory said: “Thestatement of McReynolds that theAct encourages striking is unfair andunwarranted. Obviously the Govern¬ment can not deny labor the right tostrike. But the whole purpose ofthe Bill is to discourage strikes byproviding efficient means of collec¬tive bargaining; to aid industry byending its labor troubles, not to ham¬per it.”Opinion was divided upon thequestion of the probable effect ofthe continued New-Dealism of theCourt upon the court reform bill.Several said that the wind had beentaken out of the reformer’s sails.Others, however, felt that many whohad been supporting the Court in its.stand against the President wouldnow lose all respect for it. Inter¬preted by some as a desperate moveto save its respect, the Court’s re¬versal of stand was called by othersas “just plain yellow.”I^ge Two THE DAILY MAROCW, TUESDAY.

We may then hope to have a uni¬fied university, not because an official dogmahas been imposed upon it, but because teach¬ers and students can know what they are talk¬ing about and can have some hope of under¬standing one another. As I have said before,the ideal of a university is an understood di¬versity. Under present conditions we do notneed to worry very much about getting enoughdiversity. We can afford to concentrate for awhile on getting some understanding.The labors of those great and good men,Charles W. Eliot and John Dewey, who did somuch for all of us, have led to consequencesthey could not have anticipated and for whichthey could not have wished. Those conse¬quences are nothing less than the disintegra¬tion of the universities and indeed of the wholeeducational system. If we are to perform inour day the function which the community isentitled to expect the universities and the edu¬cational system to fulfil, we must achieve theirreintegration. To put it on the lowest level,if the universities are to continue to receive thekind of support Mr. Russell hopes to get forus, they must present to the public a more in¬telligible picture than they can show today.Because the educational system has disinte¬grated, our population, in spite of the mostelaborate educational facilities in the world,is getting more ignorant every day. 1 some¬times think that it is only their ignorance thatsaves us from their wrath. TTiey don’t knowenough to know how ignorant we have madethem. But they are not yet so ignorant as notto guess that something is wrong somewhere.Nobody can go through the educational sys¬tem without feeling sharply or vaguely thatit is defective in some way. Public efforts atcriticism have so far taken the farcical form ofsenatorial investigations and teachers’ oathlaws. But we cannot rely indefinitely on thestupidity of our people. It might be betterto get ourselves squared around to meet anyattack with a clear conscience.At Chicago the divisional organization andthe College curriculum and the general exam¬BUSINESS ASSISTANTSEdwin Berammn Alan Johnstone HowardJoranae Ettelson Max Freeman EdwardDoris Gentzler GreenleeGustafsonSTAFF PHOTOGRAPHERSDavid Eisendrath Donal HohrnrNight Editor: Seymour MillerAssistant: Harry J. LeviTuesday, April 13, 1937 inations are steps toward integration. Whatmore is required? Elight years is a long timeto be a university president in the MiddleWest, and 1 suppose that you understand bynow that when I discuss such issues 1 am mere¬ly exercising that academic freedom that 1 in¬sist on for you. 1 hope to use it to keep yourattention focused on the fundamental ques¬tions affecting our existence as a university.From my point of view the answers to thesequestions are not so important as asking them.-To the question how can we achieve thereintegration of the university and the educa¬tional system, for example, I shall give youmy own answer. 1 have no doubt that thereare other and better ones. My object is toprovoke you to find and state them. Nobodyhas yet questioned the validity of my criticismsof American education, 'f the criticisms arevalid, some way of meeting them must befound. You are not relieved of the responsi¬bility of finding it by saying that you don’tlike mine.My way of achieving the integration we arcseeking can be stated in terms that are so sim¬ple as to be almost laughable. 1 propose thatall our bachelors of arts be bachelors of artsand all our doctors of philosophy doctors ofphilosophy. But perhaps the suggestion is notso simple as it looks. What should a bachelorof arts be? First he ^ould have mastered thearts of reading and writing and should haveemployed them in understanding the intellec¬tual tradition in which he lives and which hemust understand in order to understand hisenvironment. Second he should have culti¬vated critical tastes in literature, music, andthe plastic arts. My preference is for havinghim show these accomplishments by speakingor writing well about individual works ratherthan about their history, the domestic relationsof their authors, or the economic conditionsunder which their authors lived. Third, thebachelor of arts must be a bachelor of scienceas well, in the sense that he must know theprinciples and basic facts of natural science,of social science, and of history.This proposal may sound to you as thoughthere were nothing new in it at all. If it does,1 am afraid that 1 have not made myself clear.It seems to me so radical that the college whichadopted it would be immediately distinguish¬ed from all the other colleges in the UnitedStates. How radical it is I can perhaps indi¬cate by saying that in my opinion bachelorsof arts are in no sense competent in the artsof reading and writing; they are lacking inaesthetic cultivations; and they are chaoticallyeducated in the sciences and in history.The relation of this proposal about generaleducation to research and specialized study isclear. Our advanced work is now hamperedat every point by the illiteracy of our students.The first requirement for advanced workshould be a general education; for 1 doubt ifthe world needs chemists; it needs educatedchemists. If therefore we develop a genuinegeneral education we shall not only meet thegreatest need of the educational system; weshall not only graduate intelligent citizens; butwe shall also improve our chances of gettingsound research done and mitigate the menaceof the uneducated specialist.The chances of getting sound research donewould be still further improved and the men¬ace of the uneducated specialist still furthermitigated if every doctor of philosophy werea doctor of philosophy,. The common com¬petence of doctors of philosophy is now limit¬ed to what is euphemistically called a readingknowledge of one or more foreign languages.This is hardly enough. We can see thatphilosophy is somehow common to all the spe¬cial sciences as they are not common to oneanother. It is involved in all the fields of learn¬ing, historical, humanistic, and scientific. Itconsists of principles and generalizations con¬versant with all experience. It raises the ques¬tions that can seriously pretend to be basic.It might help us reunite the specialists, andgive us an integrated educational scheme.After what I have said I suppose it is un¬necessary for me to add that 1 am not advocat¬ing the study of any particular brand of philo¬sophy as against any other. I should no morespeak of philosophy in these terms than Ishould speak of Newton’s physics or Lyell’sgeology. If you do not feel as I do on thispoint, it must be because you do not think ofphilosophy as I do. TTie conception of philoso¬phy then becomes a subject for discussion. I should be hopeful that such discus¬sion would lead to agreement on thedifference and the relations betweenphilosophy and the other fields oflearning, an agreement that wouldmake inescapable the conclusion Ihave stated. I should be hopeful, too,that when this is done the facultywould proceed to find a way of mak¬ing Chicago the first university inthe country where doctors of philos¬ophy were doctors of philosophy.When we consider the condition ofthe country, and indeed of the world,when we reflect on the collapse ofthe standards and slogans by whichwe have lived, we must feel that itis only by decisive action that theideals of freedom, democracy, andthe pursuit of truth can be preserved.They rest at last upon the intelligenceand capacity of the people. The in¬telligence and capacity of the peopleare both the cause and the effect ofthe educational system. The strengthof the University of Chicago enablesus, if we will, to be more cause thaneffect and to help set the goals of thenational life.Today on theQuadranglesJoseph Bond Chnpel. ‘‘The Way ofFaith.” Professor Henry N.

Play'sThe Thing* * *By NED ROSENHEIMDespite Paul Whiteman’s openinglast Friday at the Drake, and HenryKing’s at the Palmer House, the manof the hour still seems to be BobCrosby at the Congress. The principlereason for this is the big swing con¬cert which is coming off Sundayafternoon. The concert is a benefitaffair for Joe Sullivan, Crosby’sformer pianist and one of the coun¬try’s foremost names in that par¬ticular department, who is ill in aCalifornia sanitarium.Critics are pretty well agreed thatCrosby’s Dixieland is tops, and theconcert is attracting tremendous at¬tention throughout the swing world.Down Beat Magazine, which is spon¬soring the concert, has gotten rid ofall of the seven hundred ticketsprinted for this event, but a few maystill be obtained, via the office ofThe Daily Maroon.At the risk of being credited witha Crosby complex, may w’e take thisoccasion to rave about his first sat¬isfactory record, namely, ‘‘Devil andthe Deep Blue Sea,” on Decca 1196.This number starts out with a com¬bination of harmonies which isenough to make even a Lombardo fanweep with joy. On the reverse sideis ‘‘The Old Spinning Wheel,” whichseems to have been geared up con¬siderably and now boasts of freewheeling. The introduction of thisnumber is interesting; the theme isannounced by the trumpet, in imita¬tion of the original New Orleansbands.The Master record series has ap¬peared, and in addition to Ellington,contains numbers by the famous Hud-son-Delange group and the RaymondScott Quintet. Another new label isthat of the Variety Records, whichpresent, among others, recordings byRed Nichols, Mills Blue Rythm, andBen Pollack’s band.Roy Eldridge is still going strongat the Three Deuces and Cleo Brownreturns this week, after a short ab¬sence. Roy, incidentally, has madeseveral excellent records for Vocalionrecently.A final item of interest to swinglovers is the announcement thatFletcher Henderson opens at theTrianon at the end of this month.If you’re good, maybe you’ll hearabout Myra Hess tomorrow.

That vote should be thrownout, the proposals explained to thevarious houses, and a re-vote takenbased on opinions of the separateorganizations.I, for one, am against the changesproposed, if “changes” they are, andI am submitting the following rea¬sons for consideration.Fraternity men vdll admit, I be¬lieve, that a certain something, com¬monly deihncd at other universities as“fraternity spirit,” is lacking in theGreek set-up in the University. Wehave been trying to find out justwhat it is that keeps us from hav¬ing something that our rushees want,from having something that makesfor strong unity, and from havingsomething that encourages alumni in¬terest. The whole answer embodies agreat number of things, changeswhich must be brought about—orelse. It is astonishing to fhe, anyway,that the same men who have beenasking themselves and their brotherswhat the trouble is, are the ones tohold thumbs up on such a proposi¬tion as set forth by the present Com¬mittee.I am firmly convinced that fra¬ternities should become actiTitiet oncampus instead of just boardinghouses, that fraternities should offerthemselves to their rushees as a ma¬jor activity, not something apartfrom the University. I believe thatfraternity elections, parties, houserenovations, etc. should be news tothe student body and worthy offront page space in your paper. Del-,ta .Upsilon’a conclave^ at Chicagoshould have been given a lot moreattention that it received. I think theDeke Ball and the Three-Way partyare worthy of special articles. I thinkthat the affair of my fraternity, anall-middle west ball at the Blackstonethis Saturday, is news. I think thatthe elections of fraternity officers arejust as important from the activitiesstandpoint (for they entail as muchor more extra-curricular work on thepart of the student) as the electionof officers of any other group. Inother words, fraternities are campusactivities and deserve attention assuch.Finally, I think that fraternitiesand their joint organization, the In¬terfraternity Council, should becomedemocratic campus activities. TheCouncil should be appointed by thehouses. The Committee membersshould be elected by the houses or bytheir delegates and the officers there¬of should be elected by the houses ordelegates, so that the Committee andthe officers are true fraternity menwho represent the fraternity men asthey want to be represented, not asa small group and the University ad¬ministration want them to be repre¬sented. Men who make the fraterni¬ty their activity should be in line foroffices on the basis of their work infraternities. To those who wouldshout, “Wolf! Wolf!” in referenceto fraternity “politics,” let me replywith a gentle, “so what?” “Politics”means not only the popular idea ofsubtle maneuvering, but “govern¬ment” as well. Fraternity men shouldbe permitted to “politic” in their ownform of government. Think it overfor a while and ^ believe you will agree with me that a little bit of fra¬ternity “politics” would be a goodstimulus for what ails the fraternitysystem, and I can’t see any enduringharm from “politics” as long as it iskept within bounds, the same as inother democratic campus activities.Blackfriars rates at the top amongcampus groups and it lives only by“politics;” remove “politics” and theOrder of Blackfriars goes out thebackdoor of campus life. My critic¬ism against Blackfriars has alwaysbeen one of dirty “politics,” not “pol¬itics.” The Daily Maroon likes toboast that it is student operated, butstill free of dirty “politics.” PutBlackfriars or your paper into thehands of a University administrator,or elector if you will, and see howlong they would last!Let me illustrate my gripe bypointing to the I-F Committee mem¬bers and heads of the past two years.In ’36-’36 a Beta pledge, RobertLawrason, was elected to the Com¬mittee and then, while still a pledge,was elected president of the Inter¬fraternity Council! Approval wasgiven by the assistant dean and theold committee sitting in the session.After Lawrason’s death, WilliamStapleton came into the limelight forthe first time as a fraternity activ¬ity man, and ^he was made presidentin the same 'Undemocratic manner.This year Robert Shallenberger be¬came president of the Council and amajor activities man over night.From his work this year on the Coun¬cil, it has been evident that hisknowledge of fraternities, fraternitysystems, and his ability as a fraterni¬ty leader is very limited. The pres¬ent secretary of the Council foundhimself on the Committee becausehe, with the help of last year’s Ma¬roon editor, wrote a toothless (I may.say recopied the year preceding’srules in spirit, at a time when thefraternities were clamoring for anew deal) set of rushing rules whichmet with the approval of the thenassistant dean of students whoseideas concerning fraternities everyold fraternity man knows. Anothertwo members of the Committee wereappointed because it was their fra¬ternity’s time to have Committee¬men (according to the existing rota¬tion policy)—not because those menrepresented the fraternity group atthe University and the members ofseventeen houses. Another memberof the Committee was appointed lastfall because he was the other dele¬gate from his house, and inasmuchas his brother delegate had been ap¬pointed in the spring to the Commit¬tee but had not returned to school, it“seemed only fair” to put a manfrom the same house in his place.This person had been elected to theCommittee because the dean-electorwanted him, not the fraternity mennecessarily. It seems high time, tome, that fraternities start puttingthe men who are their best represen¬tatives into the top posts. Fraterni¬ties at the University have a lot ofthings which should be done for theirbenefit, and only democraticallyelected Committee members can ac¬complish this, men who do not thinkas the old Committee or the dean ofstudents thinks, but as their fellowmembers think.The consecutive year provision isnot advisable to retain, for it meansthat in some years the best fraterni-1ity men may be kept from the im¬portant positions, and there is a pos¬sibility that in that year, that theCommittee would be composed ofmediocre members. Certainly youwould not sanction such a provisionin Maroon Board of Control elec¬tions, because the stability of the Ma¬roon is supposed'.y based on the manfor the job, rather than his affilia¬tions.As soon as you, your paper, andthe University realize that fraterni¬ties affect a greater number of stu¬dents than any other group of or¬ganizations, that far more construc¬tive training is given by a fraterni¬ty to its members than is given bymost other campus groups, that theytake as much time and effort as other Show Eisenstein’s Film, 'ThunderOver Mexico,’ at International House“Thunder Over Mexico,” SergeiEisenstein’s film of Mexican feudallife which was shown yesterday atInternational House, and which willbe repeated again today, is one ofthe world’s most famous films.Certainly the circumstances of itsproduction and the discussioh itaroused when it was first released in1933 are unparalleled by any filmsince “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.”In 1932, over here to study Amer¬ican technical and organizational as¬pects of the motion picture industry,Eisenstein conceived the idea of afilm epic dealing with the 19th cen¬tury feudal system in Mexico. Mo¬tion picture magnates remained coldto the idea, and finally he foundbacking in a liberal group headed byUpton (EPIC) Sinclair.For long months Eisenstein anda small assisting crew herded nativeMexicans before the lens of EdouardTisse’s camera, recording on twohundred thousand feet of film thegradual emergence of the peon frompractical slavery to freedom underthe communistically inclined govern¬ment of modern Mexico.Forced to Stop ProductionReturning to the United States, hismoney used up, Eisenstein was facedby supporters who were loath to con¬tinue supplying him with more, whowere amazed at the footage he hadtaken for what they assumed wouldbe a rather short film. Moreover,his length of stay in the UnitedStates was up, according to immigra¬tion authorities. Thus it was that adisillusioned Eisenstein returned toRussia, unable even to take his prod¬uction out of the country.Anxious to realize a return ontheir investment, his backers ar¬ranged for a Hollywood film editorto prepare the picture for release,dropping many of the more revolu¬tionary sequences.Now, in Soviet film technique, itis the actual cutting of the filmwhich the director considers his bigand personal task. It is unthinkablethere to allow any other person savethe director to edit the film, workwhich is done by film editors and cut¬ters in this country. Thus, at the out¬set, the fact that Eisenstein was notsupervising the montage of his ownfilm caused it to be no long^er anEisenstein picture. And it was thefailure to realize this fact that pre¬cipitated the condemnation of thefilm when it was released in 1933.Photography Beautiful“Thunder Over Mexico,” as shownat International House in its regularform, is not an Eisenstein production.True it does show indications of themaster’s use of human emphasis, hishabit of carefully planning mob mo¬tion in smoothly defined patterns. Itshows his trait for contrast betweenclose-up and long-shot, his typicalSoviet method of characterizing bymeans of one telling close-up reveal-1ing character through facial forma¬tion and lighting. But it is not anEisenstein picture.It is, rather, the most beautifulrecord of panchromatic photographyever to be shown on a screen. It isthe record of the camera brush of amaster delineator, Edouard Tisse. Itbreathes beauty and Mexican atmo¬sphere. It exposes breathtakingpanorama after breathtaking close-up, shows almost abstract patterning of light and dark, of movement andstill-life. Story it has little—the re¬volt of a peon when one of his mas¬ters violates the girl he loves. Butdespite its jagged editing and theharrowing scenes it sometimes por¬trays, it dominates the audience bymeans of the perfection of its visualimage—which is, after all, the mostimportant thing in a motion picture.Socialist SpeakersTrace Collapse ofThird InternationalNathan Gould, district secretary ofthe Young People’s Socialist League,and Ernest Erber, national chairmanspoke at a meeting of the Social¬ist club on Friday in the Social Sci¬ence 122.The meeting was opened by a sum¬mary of the negotiations between theSocialist club and the Communistclub concerning a debate on the Mos¬cow trials. Herbert Passin read theletter of the Socialist club to theCommunist club, condemning the lat¬ter for the prohibitive conditions ithad lain down, and ended the sum¬mary with the accusation that theCommunist club was afraid todebate.On “The Collapse of the Commun¬ist International” Gould traced itsrise, its great success following theWorld War, and its peak in 1923.From that point it has degenerated,he maintained, and the source of thedegeneration has been the Stalinbureaucracy. It has vascilated, haslost all democracy within the party,and has compromised with demo¬cratic nations. All these errors,Gould showed, can be traced tothat of Marx, that Socialism can bebuilt in one country, and that it neednot be worked for on an interna¬tional basis.Ernest Erber, in his discussion of jSpain, showed how Communists’ po- |licy there, has been suppression ofSocialist demonstrations, and howthis war is being turned into one ofnational defense rather than one ofclass struggle.Discussion was invited, in contrast—as Herbert Passin pointed out—tothe manner in which he was refusedpermission to talk at the last Com¬munist club meeting. Kobrin, of theCommunist club, spoke for twentyminutes and was followed by HerbertPassin in rebuttal. Moore spoke forthe Communists and was refuted byNathan Gould who then summed upthe entire discussion. He pointedout that numbers in a group suchas the Communist International areno criterion of strength, enumeratedthe trends toward capitalism in theSoviet Union. The fact that Kobrinand Moore had debated with Trot-skyites was commented on. Oriental InstituteExhibits Statues5j200 Years OldThe earliest representations of hu¬man beings ever found are now onexhibition at the Oriental Institute.They are small copper statues of godsand goddefsses dating to 3,300 B.C.,and were discovered by the SyrianExpedition of the Institute under thefield direction of Dr. Calvin W. Mc-Ewan. Because they had beenburied most of the 5,200 years sincethey were set up in a prehistorictemple, several months of | carefultreatment were required for theirrestoration.By analogy to later periods, themale fig^ures are believed to be wargods and the female figures god¬desses of fertility. The male statueshave silver helmets and show the useof circumcision as a religious prac¬tice of the time. Two of the god¬desses have silver curls; the other isadorned with an elaborate headdress.These statues, which range in sizefrom five to ten inches, were foundin Tell Jedeideh, between Antiochand Aleppo, in the District of Alex-andretta. At another site. TellTainat, an elaborately carved baseof a polygonal column in a Hittitepalace was uncovered. A capital ofa column was also unearthed, thismaterial being the first evidence ofthe use of columns and capitals inHittite architecture. Another discov¬ery was a great throne statue of aHittite god in stone.This expedition has demonstrated,said Dr. McEwan, that NorthernSyria had a sedentary population atleast as old as that of Egypt andMesopotamia. WPA Forms Groupto Aid Drama onAmerican CampusesA campaign to stimulate a greaterinterest in the theatre among the un¬dergraduates of America was launch¬ed recently with the formation of aNational Collegriate Advisory Com¬mittee to the WPA Federal TheatreProject, according to an announce¬ment by William W. Hinckley, chair¬man of the American Youth Con¬gress.Plans outlined by tne Committee,which was formed to assist and ad¬vise the WPA Federal Theatre inbringing the theatre to the campus,include the immediate initiation of anational contest open to all under¬graduates for an original full-lengthplay; the establishment of a centralcollege play bureau with the FederalTheatre’s Play Bureau to serve asa coordinating service for collegedramatic societies and youth dramaorganizations, and the sponsorship ofFederal Theatre produ^ions in col¬lege theatres, fraternity, settlementand community houses.CHICAGOactivities, and that they promoteboth the internal and external wel¬fare of the University more ^hanany other groups, the quicker fra¬ternities will solve their present dis¬organized condition. Fraternities arestudent activities and they shouldgovern themselves as such. I say,down with a hierarchy which saysthat only an autocratic select group(the Committee) can initiate legisla¬tion on rushing, racial fraternityquestions, etc. and appoint the rul¬ing officers.

Kruze, the pitcher for Armour,hurled a beautiful game, striking outfive men and allowing only four hits.Amundsen allowed five hits and alsostruck out five men but he allowedfive men to get to first sack byw’alks.One of the outstanding plays ofthe game took place in the first halfof the third. With two men on, a longfly was hit out to Mike Bernard incenter field. Bernard made a per¬fect throw to the plate so that Ship¬way easily caught the first man ashe was sliding into the plate.Chicago for the most part playeda good game, though there were timeswhen a little more headwork couldhave been used by the players. Muchof this was due to inexperience andshould be cleared up after a fewmore games. Armour played excel¬lent ball considering that these weretheir opening games.Though Armour scored in the firstinning, it was not until the fourththat Chicago found its opportunity.Bernard had reached second on a sin¬gle and error, when Frenchy Whitedoubled to left, scoring Bernard. Gil-lerlain, the next batter, took hold ofthe ball and sent it out to left centerscoring White. After this one hit¬ting spree the Maroons never againfound Kruze for enough hits in a jrow to score.

For Messrs.Soderlind, Schuessler, and “RobertTaylor” Lawson (his team-matesgave him the name) soon had dateswith three of the local gals.The other members of the teamdidn’t think it such a bad idea untilthe three lovers had apparently for¬gotten about coming home.

Toward the close of anunenthusiastic list of after-dinner talks. Coach E. W. McGillivraystood up, and, without the usual effort at a joke, stated bluntlythat he thought the second annual spring banquet was a flop andletes by the name of Bob Reynolds, that as far as he was concerned, the Athletic department shouldn’twaste its money on another such affair.He said that when two years ago he suggested that the awardsfor all winter sports be made at the same large banquet, as at otherschools, he thought that the event would be received enthusiastically.But since fully a third of the award-winning athletes didn’t show uplast week, McGillivray is going to suggest the discontinuance of thedinner, unless the various teams take action and decide they reallywant such an affair and will cooperate in assuring its success.McGillivray would like to see the teams take this action. Soshould we. It is possible to over-emphasize athletics, but it is alsopossible to under-emphasize this aspect of life which has always •played such an important part in the well-being of mankind. Some jhonor should still be attached to athletic prowess, and the sports |banquet is an excellent way of guaranteeing this honor.Therefore it is up to the varsity athletes to plan to get a largeattendance at such a banquet next year, and to tell their coaches oftheir determination. Otherwise Mr. McGillivray’s righteous proposalfor a discontinuance will take effect, and there will be no third an¬nual spring sports award banquet.—E. C. F.

Urging fellows toenter the competition, he stressed thefact that all of the values of Intra¬mural participation are not fullyrealized. “Along with the mere ex¬perience gained from playing,” headded, “come the experiences ofbroadening one’s social contacts andof making new friends.”It is indeed discouraging that morestudents do not take advantage ofthe University’s splendid Intramuralprogram for it provides exercise andrecreation for many who are not ofvarsity calibre and who otherwisewould not be able to participate ingroup sports.

The fact that this wasthe first outdoor meet of the seasonand the fact that the wind hamper¬ed many of the athletes’ efforts mayaccount for the rather unexpectedlynarrow margin of victory, however.Halcrow Stands OutNow and then there appeared aray of sunshine in the showing ofsome of the tracksters who display-played promise for future meets.George Halcrow was one of the out¬standing individual performers of theday as shown by his close wrin in the440 and his fa.st anchor run in therelay.Others who provided the brightI spots of the afternoon for Chicago! were Carl Frick who ran the 100j yard dash in 10:1 and who also man-I aged to cop the 220; the hurdlerswho managed to win five of the sixplaces in the two hurdle events; andBrumbaugh who showed promise inplacing second in the 100 yard dashand low hurdles.Today and Tomorrow“God's Country and theWoman"“Bulldog Drummond Escapes'Promised to YouTable Tennis FansCompete in Ida NoyesExponents of either the “pen¬holder” grip or the traditional ten¬nis grip are invited to participatein the table tennis tournaments tobe held in Ida Noyes next week.There will be two tourneys—onefor women and one for men withprizes for both.
