UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, WEDNESDAY, MAY 5, 1937 Price Three Cent*—“There"—* * »Students in this and ei^ery otherUniversity in the country are nowtrying out various drugs and chemi¬cals in the hope of boosting their ex¬amination grades. That this habit isgrowing and that it is dangerous,needs na great intellect to recognize.IVe of Chicago pride ourselves on ahigh scholastic rating. Yet we jointhe ranks of thousands of dimwitsthroughout the country in a searchfor a magic *‘mteiligetice jyill.”This column hhs today been turnedover to Dr. Dudley Reed, head of theStudent Health Service. Listen towhat this authority on hygiene hasto say about the most dangerous ofthese drugs, Benzedrene sulfate.• * «For years, for jfcnerations, forcenturies—perhaps since Eden, menhave been seeking: perpetual motion,a method of slidin^i: up hill, some wayof liftinfi: oneself by his bootstraps.They have been fcelinp about forsome prop outside of themselves onwhich to lean in time of stress. Inthe realm of faith they have triedreligion and pseudo-religion, medi¬cine men and charms, incantationsand astrologers, and without doubtmany have been helped for, if youhave faith even in another man andhe tells you that you are good, thatdoes the trick. You believe that youare good and proceed with confidenceto be good.Most of the races on earth havesought also—and found—somethingto be taken by mouth instead of byfaith which would make them feelbetter at least for the moment, stim¬ulant drops, .fermented grains andthe like. Such things have been usedto defer fatigue or mask it, to stim¬ulate mental activity or to in¬crease self confidence. This last ef¬fect is said to have been so markedupon occasion as to make a smalland really puny man imagine himselfthe physical equal of several burlypolicemen, a demonstration of a selfconfidence which usually has provedill-founded. Even students have usedcoffee, caffeine citrate and otherdrugs before examinations to en¬able them to keep awake and studyall night for several nights, or so weare informed.* * *There is no question but that it isimportant for a student to be in hisbest physical, nervous and mentalcondition for an examination whichmeans a good deal to him. There isgreat question as to the advisabilityof using stimulant drugs to achievethis condition. For one thing excite¬ment and nervous tenseness tend tounfit one for an examination ordealand stimulants increase such tense¬ness. For another, fatigue, like pain,is one of nature’s warning signals.It calls for rest, not for whipping upby stimulants nor for bootstrap lift¬ing. Unfortunately the really effec¬tive methods of hygienic living, tak¬ing on no more work than one cando with he&lth and happiness, somechange and relaxation, are too oldand too simple to have much appealto students who want to accomplishthe most in the shortest time.And this bnngs us to benzedrinesulphate which some or many stu¬dents are now taking for purposes ofpick-up and remaining awake. Thisdrug does have these effect but it isa Dang’erou* Drug which has causedsevere poisoning and collapse insome cases. It is a relatively newdrug and nobody knows what the ef¬fects of its continued use may be.It is a powerful drug and, as such,should be used, if at all, only underthe direction of a physician. Noyoung man or woman intelligentenough to be in the University ofChicago should be stupid enough totry as dangerous a prop as this. Ifunconvinced, ask Dr. Ceiling, headof the Department of Phat macology,whose business it is to know aboutsuch things.

It is aproduct of the period of post-warexhaustion and cynicism and mightwell be classed with “Backstairs” di¬rected by Leopold Jessner in 1921,Karl Grune’s “The Street,” and LupuPick’s “Shattered.”Had Strong Influence“The Last Laugh” led to the ex¬tensive Germanization of the Holly¬wood studios for a time, and intro¬duced a widespread u.se of the travel¬ing camera and strange photographictricks.“Hamlet,” directed by Svend Gade,stars the noted German actress AstaNeilson who is best remembered inAmerica for her performances inPabst’s “The Joyless Street” in 1925,and von Gerlach’s “Vanina” releasedin this country in 1928. The pro¬duction is based on the Shakespereanplay as it is popularly known, but itsstartling denounem^nt revealing thatHamlet was actually a woman, is tak¬en from Vining’s “The Mystery ofHamlet.’.’Next Wednesday’s performancewill be “Siegfried,” directed by FritzLang.Prepare forLeaders’ DayOver 500 acceptances have been re¬ceived from high school .seniors forthe annual Leaders’ Day visit to theUniversity, Ed Bell, head of the I.ead-ers’ organization reported yesterday.At the same time Bell announceda meeting of all student guides whichwill be held in Cobb 310 at 3:30 to¬morrow.

IW omen ProtestRegulation ofClub RushingSend Petition to Dean ofStudents for Meetingwith Board.Protesting against the proposedchange in the rushing period, themembers of Interclub Council havesubmitted a petition to the Dean ofStudents requesting a joint meetingwith the subcommittee of the Facul¬ty Board on Fraternities and clubs.The petition was circulated amongall club members who wished to ex¬press their desire for a reconsidera¬tion of deferred rushing. The peti¬tion for reconstruction is requestedfor the following reasons:1) There are no students on thecommittee for the Coordination ofStudent Interests.2) Clubs and fraternities are es¬sentially different, and should beconsidered separately.3) Fraternities and clubs are theonly student organizations whose in¬itial contact with students is regulat¬ed by the Office of the Dean of Stu¬dents. Club members feel that theyhave been unjustly discriminatedagainst.Present PetitionIf the petition is accepted, theexecutive council of Interclub willpresent the advantages of early rush¬ing to the Faculty Board subcommit¬tee. Members of the council includeMary Letty Green, Mortar BoardVirginia Tress, Wyvern; Aileen Wil¬son, Esoteric; Marjorie Hess, Pi Del¬ta Phi; Betty Booth, Sigma. Thegroup, chairmanned by Betty Booth,feels that the advantages of earlyrushing to the incoming women havenever been adequately described tofaculty authorities.Action Was a SurpriseEarlier in the year the Council hadtaken action on a proposed shorten¬ed rushing period. The decisionof the University to have rushing de¬ferred to winter quarter came as asurprise to Club Women, who tookimmediate action. The shift of therushing period came immediately af¬ter both the Fraternity and Club pe¬titions for shorter periods had beenrejected.Announcement has also been madeof “Cutthroat Day,” designed toeliminate any vestiges of hardfeel-ing the club women may feel towardseach other at the end of the rushingperiod. The club rushing period willend on Saturday instead of Sundayas in former years. Sunday will bedevoted to a joint party given by allthe members of Interclub, which willtake the form of either a picnic or aluncheon. Club formal dinners willbe given on Friday evening.Three InternationalSecond Issue ofThe second issue of the Interna¬tional Quarterly, including articlesand foreign correspondence fromSpain, Austria, France, Canada, Ger¬many, and the Far East, has beenpublished and is now available at In¬ternational House at 25 cents percopy.Published jointly by the three In¬ternational Houses of New York,Chicago, and Berkeley, the magazinearticulates the viewpoints of interna¬tionally-minded students and scholarsthe world over, always maintainingan attitude of intellectual tolerancerefreshing in its very unostentatious¬ness.Leading articles are written byCharles E .Shulman, Rabbi of theNorth Shore Congrregation, whowrites on “The Jew and His Faith;”Aurel Kolnai, Vienna lawyer, whodescribes “Vienna to a Viennese;”Watson Dickerman, of the AmericanUniversity of Beirut, who tells ofMohammedan religious festivals inJerusalem; and Henry Carey, egyp-tologist of the Walters Art Galleryof Baltimore, who recounts a Mex¬ican archaeological venture.In a simply written essay, RabbiShulman explains and justifies hisconcept of Judaism and its place inthe world, generalizing his religioninto the four cardinal concepts of theUnltii of the World and of God, De¬mocracy, Brotherly Love, and Peace.\ Houses PublishQuarterly MagazineWriting under the title “A Vien¬nese Looks at Vienna” Kolnai pre¬sents a picture of a modernized city-state, governed under a totalitariansystem somehow devoid of the franticemotionality and intolerance of thelarger Fascist states, still maintain¬ing its love of art and its cosmopoli¬tanism. ,Other articles tell the stories of“America’s New Pioneers,” and“Whither Germany.” Regular fea¬tures include Foreign Correspond¬ence, The Infoi’mation Desk, Editor’sRound Table, and the Contributor’sColumn.He’s Back!Back from California, land ofmovie stars, oranges, and a sun¬nier clime, has come Robert May¬nard Hutchins, author, lecturer,traveler, father—and president ofthe University of Chicago.Upon his leaving, his itinerarywas denied us; upon his return wecan only learn that he is back.We hail Mr. Hutchins’ secretaryand publicity office for their sec¬recy, but as his personal organ wegrab the chance of welcoming himhome. iPage Two THE DAILY MAROON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 5, 1937imly AroanFOUNDED IN IfOlMember A>»ocimted Collegiate PressThe Dsilr Maroon is the official student newspaper of theUniversity of Chica^, published morninsrs except Saturday, Sun¬day, and Monday during; the Autumn, Winter, and Sprins quartersby The Daily Maroon Company, 6831 University avenue.

They spend two years taking theCollege survey and sequence courses. Twoyears later some will receive A.B., B.S., or Ph.B. degrees from one of the divisions; the oth¬ers will receive the same degrees from one of'the professional schools.Most of the latter will continue on to be¬come members of their chosen professions. Tothese, this editorial is not directed. The re¬maining graduates have a far greater problem.TTiey will enter the business world with verylittle special training, for they have taken de¬grees in cultural fields.During the past year volumes have beenwritten about the purpose of an education.President Robert Maynard Hutchins, in his“The Higher Learning in America,” set him¬self as the principal antagonist in the battlewhich is raging between leading Americaneducators. Hutchins and his followers be- others will say: “But the University of Chi¬cago is different.”True, the University is different, but only inthat it is beginning to realize that many edu¬cators are wrong in saying that a university cantrain a student for life. Rather the Universityin the words of President Hutchins believesthat: “Schools can only train boys and girlsin general principles. There is a time lag be¬tween what we are teaching in school andwhat is going on in practice outside, which wecan do nothing about.”The new four-year college plan, although itstresses a general education in its curriculum,synthesizes both sides of the present educa¬tional battle and effects a compromise be¬tween the warring factions. President Hut¬chins endorses the “6-4-4” plan of education,six years of grammar school, four years ofsecondary training, and four years of generalcollege training. Above the College will bethe graduate schools and divisions in which ex¬clusively graduate work will be carried on.Alongside of these will be a number of insti¬tutes of vocational training, some connectedwith the University and some independent. Un¬doubtedly most of these courses will be twoyears in length so that students may get thevery valuable general education during his stayin the College and then may spend two yearsspecializing in a chosen vocation. TTis processof education will end at the same time as thepresent University course of study but the stu¬dents will be better equipped for life.The student will have the general educa¬tion of the College behind him during whichtime he has been subjected to the broadeninginfluence of world culture streams togetherwith two years of specialized training duringwhich time he has learned the skills and tech¬niques he will use when he gets out into thebusiness world.Thus we find that President Hutchins andhis protagonists are really fairly close togeth¬er in their beliefs, but that they reach theirend—the training of a student for life—byslightly different means. While the followersof President Hutchins are detouring throughthe general curriculum of the College, the fol¬lowers of the vocationalists go directly towardspecialization through the learning of skillsand the practice of them—at least at Antioch—in practical business surroundings.Which is the better is a matter for the edu¬cators to decide, but it is evident that the long¬er way of the Hutchinites is the fuller in allrespects and permits the student to study var¬ied subjects rather than limiting him directlyupon graduation from a secondary school.—E. S. S.The Travelling BazaarHOORAYlieve that an education should be general andcultural while his opponents, led by such menas Arthur Morgan of Antioch college, endorsesystems of vocational training.Last week in The Saturday Evening Post, a1936 graduate wrote about his troubles infinding a business position upon leaving col¬lege. He told how his friends who had spe¬cialized in such work as advertising, account¬ing, or chemistry had fallen into well-payingpositions as soon as they left college. In thesame is.tue of the Post, J. P. McEvoy answersthe article with an essay on the dilemma ofmodern education and what is and should bedone about it.The general impression given by both arti¬cles is that the holder of an A.B. degree is nolonger considered an exceptionally qualifiedindividual, that applicants for jobs requiringcollege degrees come at “a dime a dozen.” Inshort, each year the universities of the UnitedStates are turning loose unto the businessworld thousands of graduates who have spentfour relatively easy-going and fairly success¬ful (they secured what they set out for, a col¬lege degree) years at the various schools.Since they have had no special training, theymust start in at the bottom and learn every¬thing about whatever type of business theymay enter—if they are a member of the luckyfew that do get jobs.University reactions to these articles shouldbe varied. Some will say: My Ood, l*ve wast¬ed my time.” Others will say: “I’ve had agood time and learned a few things that 1 nev¬er would have found out any other way.” Still Now we can imitate the Editor. We got an in¬dignant letter of our own.Editor,The Travelling Bazaar:The Daily Maroon for Wednesday, April 28, 1937states:“Word has reached us that 35 Californians inthe School of Social Service Administration willhold a party of their own at International Housethis week-end, with a California faculty memberas speaker. They apparently consider themselvesto be a separate nation. We think it might bebetter if they were segregated completely.”I am assuming that my letter was responsible forthe “word” that reached you and, I am taking excep¬tion to the above paragraph. Maybe my dictionaryis slightly different from the one that you custom¬arily use for, in it, there is very little similarity be¬tween the definitions of “tea” and “party.” Perhaps,as a member of the Maroon staff, you are privilegedto make definitions fit your particular purpose,. . . Professor Harrison Allen Dobbs ... is a mem¬ber of the faculty of the University of Chicago. Heis not “a California faculty member” . . .The majority of California students in SSA havehad little or no experience in actual social work priorto entering the School of Social Service Administra¬tion here. They know practically nothing about Cali¬fornia’s Child Welfare problems . . . What would bemore logical than to have a child welfare expert,familiar with the child welfare problems of Cali¬fornia, discuss these problems informally at a tea?. . . The teas are a means of assisting the studentsfrom California to do their jobs better when they re¬turn home and not a means of forming “a separatenation.”... I believe that your taste was exceedingly bad.John M. Dean.{Have Californians never heard of the Boston teaparty? The Travelling Bazcuir is sometimes mistak¬enly regarded as a humor column.—Ed.) Letters yto the EditorMARKS ON MARXEditor,The Daily Maroon:Marxism is serious and profoundphilosophy as well as a mode of ac¬tion. Many students on this cam¬pus accept it as an explanation ofthe world today and have wonderedat the virtual unconsciousness whichthe Maroon has maintained towardit. It is fortunate that the Maroonhas at last recognized Marxism inits editorial columns. But it is notfortunate that the editorial writerhas chosen to write about the bordersof the subject instead of really try¬ing to understand it in its entirety.Mr. McNeill’s objections to Marx¬ism may perhaps be summed up rath¬er briefly: its adherents seize it asan explanation and compensationfor their own personal maladjust¬ments; it is* brought about by a min¬ority which must establish a dicta¬torship to keep itself in power; andit would set up “bureaucratic inef¬ficiency.”Of course, Mr. McNeill will agreethat the first objection is no objec¬tion at all; it belongs in the “inter¬esting if true” department. Socratesundoubtedly was thought “malad¬justed” by his contemporaries’ and agood case may be made for the the¬ory that his philosophy all developedfrom malfunction of his adrenals.But this has nothing to do with thevalue of his teachings or his meth¬od. Communists may be an out-groupin our society who do not get theirdesired recognition from the betterpeople. So what? On the same levelof reasoning it might be argued thatthe editors of the Maroon were ob¬liged to take their Olympian attitudeof general contempt from the factthat they feel they must maintainthemselves in social recognition byintellectual snobbery.McNeill states, “Rev'olutions havealways been the work of minorities.”Either I do not understand him hereor I am profoundly mistaken in myconception of what has happened inpast revolutions. If Mr. McNeillmeans' that the entire people ofFrance could not storm the Bastille,that the Parliament in 1641 was notcomposed of the entire people ofEngland, or that the entire people ofRussia did not participate in the Oc¬tober uprising in Petrograd he be¬comes comprehensible. But he cer¬tainly does not intend to contradicthistorical fact in stating that theFrench people did not support thefall of the Bastille and did not re¬spond to it by storming their localfeudal .strongholds, that the Parlia-! ment was probably as representativea body of the upper (more conserva¬tive) strata of the English people in1641 as could be had, or that theRussian people did not back theCouncil of Soviets in its action andsupport it by sympathetic uprisingsall over the land.Again I think McNeill misunder¬stands the purpose of the dictator¬ship of the proletariat, which irks him“who likes what freedom he canfind.” Of course it depends on whatMcNeill wants to do. If he wishes toact as an exploiter he can’t expectfreedom in a society where the ex¬ploited are in power. Marxists, too,are interested in freedom, more, I Professors Reporton Research Workwith Epinephrine]In Memphis, at the recent meet¬ing of the Federation of AmericanSocieties for Experimental Biology,Dr. Lester R. Dragstedt, Dr. John vanProhaska, and Dr. Herman P. Harms,of the University, reported the re¬sult of their research on causes ofhigh blood pressure to the assem¬bled scientists.Surgeons, in their attempt to al¬leviate high blood pressure, often cutthe nerves leading to the adrenalglands. The theory behind these op¬erations is that an excess of adrena¬lin, also called epinephrine, causeshigh blood pressure. Therefore, sev¬ering of the nerves should have abeneficial effect on the patient.However, this theory may bewrong, according to the results ob¬tained by experiments carried on bythe University doctors. For 15 daysnormal dogs were given injections ofepinephrine. The blood pressure waskept high, but most of the dogs died—however, not from high blood pres¬sure. Their symptoms indicated adisturbance of the alimentary canal.Thus, the scientists say that hyper¬secretion of adrenalin may result ina moderately long-continued highblood pressure, but in order to pro¬duce this effect, the secretion mustbe so excessive as to produce other,usually fatal, effects on the system.daresay than most capitalist apolog¬ists. But they are interested infreedom for the majority of the peo¬ple who are denied their liberties(read the accounts of almost anystrike) under capitalism rather thanthe liberties of a handful of exploit¬ers. Capitalism has its laws and reg¬ulations to make it work. Socialismhas different ones. Mr. McNeill inwanting to employ capitalist law andliberties in building socialismstrongly resembles the man who com¬plains that basketball is not playedwith football rules.As for “bureaucratic inefficiency”let us assume that socialism with itsplanned economy is less efficient thancapitalism (which is only 50% effi¬cient, says Stuart Chase) with its un¬planned chaos. Even then a social¬ism which limps cannot be less ef¬ficient than a capitalism which hasbeen able to find no room for ten mil¬lions of unemployed for over fiveyears.John Brady Marks.NOTICETENNIS PLAYERSFREDRYBICK’STENNIS SHOPNow at1561 E. 64th St.EXPERT RACKETRESTRINGINGFor 25 YearsMid. 0632 Blackfriars(Continued from page 1)the show, the first consisting ofGarth Anderson, John Anderson,William Thomas, George Garvey,Tom White, Jack Cornelius, MyronDavis, Spencer Irons, Ralph McCol¬lum, Brad Mead, Fred Messer-schmidt, Ralph Becker, BernardLoth, Marvin Hirsch, I-orin King,Charles Zerler, and John Brennan.The football chorus will feature JohnPalmer, Art Goes, Robert Patton,Ralph Noble, Gordon Watts, AI Far-rel, William Young, and Al Court.Ticket DeadlineDeposits or arrangements for open¬ing night tickets must be made notlater than today at the Mandel boxoffice, or otherwise the tickets willnot be held, Sibley also announcedyesterday.The costume committee has issueda plea for any old white pajamapants, any old derbies, and any oldwhite dress suit vests of ample sizefor the football chorus.

Todaywe shall take a look at the more nor¬mal flow of fraternity life, to seejf we can determine both its goodand bad points.* * *Fraternities do many things fortheir members. They may smoothenrough social edges; they may killconceit, stimulate conversationalability, overcome shyness, encouragea cooperative spirit, and eliminateselfishness. To a limited extent theymay promote tolerance and broadeninterests.More than this, fraternities impartto their members that intangible, in¬valuable feeling of self-assurance andself-submergence which*comes withbelonging to a group—the “all forone. and one for all” spirit. This isnot without its attendant abuses, butit is nevertheless a valuable assetfor a person at a time when so manythings in his life seem to be so rapid¬ly changing.* * *These are the assets of frater¬nities, What are their liabilities? Ifwe seem to stress the liabilities atthe expense of the a.ssets, rememberthat it is because we are interestedin changing the liabilities, and notthe a-Svsets.First, as to the charges of Exclu¬siveness and Snobbishness so oftenmade against fraternities. Frater¬nities cannot be blamed because theydo not take in everyone, for that isobviously impossible. They may onlybe blamed if it can be shown thatthey employ false standards in theirefforts to get the “best” men. Sev¬eral specific criticisms follow:1. Fraternities tend to show toohigh a regard for the sports and ac¬tivities records of prospective pledg-e.<, without sufficient con.siderationfor the underlying personalities ofthe men. An atlilete or activitiesbig.‘?hot may add much to the exter¬nal reputation of the fraternity, but'add little or nothing to the fraternallife,2. The legacy system is one of theworst evils of the fraternity system,as it puts a premium upon heredityand connections rather than uponcharacter. It is strange that in suchan enlightened educational institu¬tion as ours, accidents of birth makesuch a difference in determining thevalue of a man. This system resultsin many unfortunate affiliatiohswhich are harmful to both the fra¬ternity and the individual.3. Jewish prejudice is none theless existent on this campus becauseit is so subtly hidden in the form ofseparate fraternities for Jewish stu¬dents. Here there has been a back¬ward step in the history of the Uni¬versity, for in the beginning therewere no separate Jewish houses, andJews pledged what are now “Chris- itian” fraternities. There is no logi-!cal reason why there should be sep¬arate Jewish houses any more thanCatholic houses, or Baptist ones.4. The time has not yet arrivedwhen it is practically feasible forNegro students to join the whitefraternities on this campus. Never¬theless, it is high time that the fra¬ternities take at least a small for¬ward step by recognizing the one ex¬istent Negro fraternity on an equalsocial basis. Regardless of what theInterfraternity Committee said, westill believe that the recent decisionin the Kappa Alpha Psi case wasmade primarily on the basis of racial ^prejudice. It remains a black eye on jthe fraternity system’s face.* • *Another major point of criticismwhich may be leveled against fra¬ternities is that they tend to segre¬gate themselves from other groups,and even from each other. Segrega- ition over a long period of time can ionly lead to stagnation, and we al-!ready note evidences of this. Yes- Chamberlain Finds the World^sOldest Living Thing in MexicoWhen Pharaoh’s daughter rescuedbaby Moses from the rushes, a treein Mexico was in its youth. Later,when the Roman Empire was at itsheight, the tree was just enteringmiddle age. Now,.that tree is stillalive, still standing, and still grow¬ing, and according to Dr. Charles J.Chamberlain, professor emeritus ofBotany, it is the oldest living thingin the world. He estimates its ageat 5000 years. During its long life,the plant has reached the huge sizeof 50 feet in diameter. It is 150feet tall and its branches lean al¬most to the ground.There are other large trees in theworld. In the heart of Mexico Cityis a tree called by the natives “TheTree of the Sorrowful Night,” be-Bj JACQUELYN AEBYcalled by the natives “Tio Tamal,”or “uncle of the tamales,” becausethe seeds are used to make tamales.Redwood* Live 1000 YearsNorth of San Francisco are foundthe California redwoods, which growto be ten feet in diameter; for thesetrees 1000 years is a good age. Somehave been cut which were 300 feethigh. The Big Trees are found gen¬erally south of San Francisco, andunlike the redwoods do not grow inforests. The Big Trees may reach30 feet in diameter and several areover 4000 years old.There are large trees In New Zea¬land and in Australia, but they arenot to be compared with the tree inMexico. The Eucalyptus, in Aus¬tralia, grows tall and slender, some-cause on the night of Cortez’ first as-1 times to a height of 400 feet.sault on the city, after he had beenbadly defeated, he gathered togetherthe remnants of his troops under it.There is a species of tree in Mexico,Dioon edule, no member of which hasever died of old age. When it getsa trunk about five feet high, its crownof leaves is .so large that it catchesthe wind, and the tree falls or leansover, eventually dying. The tree isterday we saw how fraternities haveunconsciously segregated them.selvesfrom the intellectual life on campus.But it has gone further than that.Fraternities have shown a startlinglack of imagination in the conductof their own social affairs. Theyhave plugged away at the same typeof social schedule for years — falland spring teas, quarterly formaldances, quarterly radio dances, a On the slopes of Mount Etna growtrees which were once thought to belarger than the tree in Mexico; theywere measured and found to beabout 60 feet in diameter, but laterit was discovered that they were sev¬eral trees growing together.The tree in Mexico is undoubted¬ly the oldest living thing in theworld; and says Dr. Chamberlain,“What it could tell if it could onlytalk!”MEETINGSSpanish Club.

Something should bedone to .stop this sharp driftingapart. At interfraternity mixers oneis apt to find that most other frater¬nity men, except for those one hasmet in sports and activities, are com¬plete strangers. This is an old theme,but still in tune.s « *Another curse of the fraternity isan Occupation with the Trivial. Wefind this in several forms. We findit in chapter meetings. We find itin pledge work—when pledges arerequired to learn and do things whichhave no value to either them or thehouse.Above all, we find it in Hell Week.We sometimes have serious doubtsas to the value of an organizationwhich prepares men for membershipin it by subjecting them to physicaldiscomfort, and by requiring them tomake damned fools of themselves. Itrequires no great intelligence to seethat Hell Week is a mild hangoverfrom the days when Romans threwChristians to the lions.It’s all excused because “Whyhell, we went through the samething.” Any accident that ever be¬fell mankind could be rationalizedon the same basis.We have briefly outlined what weconsider to be the three besettingsins of the fraternity system, name¬ly: a kind of Snobbishness, betterdescribed as a lack of true stand¬ards of character; Segregation; andan Occupation with the Trivial.Still, we are glad, although some¬times not proud, to be a fraternityman.

First Round inI-M SoftballNears FinishThis afternoon on the Varsitycourts at 1 there will be a dress re¬hearsal of the Big Ten tennis meetto be held May 20 to 22 at Ann Ar¬bor Michigan, when the NorthwesternWildcats, last year’s Champions,meet the runners-up, Chicago.Of secondary importance will beexhibitions matches between the col-legiates and the professional stars,George Lott, former Maroon ace,Ellsworth V'ines, and Bruce Barneswith, possibly, Fred Perry in attend¬ance. These exhibitions will takeplace after the singles matches.Unless Coach Bennett of North¬western makes a last-minute shift thepairings will be as follows: GeorgeBall holder of the third flight singlestitle, w'ill face Norm Bickel, 1936Maroon captain and Big Ten firstflight champion.Lower Brackets ImportantHowever, the more importantmatches are in the low'er brackets.Bill Murphy faces Marvin Wachman,who holds victories over Don Leav¬ens, a player superior to both theBall brothers and who won the sec¬ond singles titles of the Conferencelast year. Bill’s work against “Ike”Ruehl, the Western State star, cer¬tainly entitles him to at least an evenchance.

Krietenstein faceshis toughest opponent in V.’ildcatFrank Froehling. Number Two?Except for one game, the firstround of the fraternity play in theI-M softball meet is finished, and in- jdependent teams should completetheir opening round by the end ofthis week. The standings of theteams to date are printed below.One-run victory margins were inorder yesterday, three of the gamesbeing that close. The first was the9-8 Sigma Chi win over Chi Psi ‘B’.Trailing by four runs in the last inn¬ing, the latter staged a rally whichtied the score. The Sigma Chi boyscame back, however, with a run intheir half to take the game.In a game that went four inningsovertime. Lambda Gamma Phi out¬lasted the K9’s to win 7-6. The twoteams were tied 5-5 at the end ofthe fifth; each scored a run in thesixth and eighth innings to prolongthe game; and the winning tallycame in the last of the 11th.In a merry slugfest the Ladies Aidoutslugged the Counselors 18-17.Jost of the winners and Donaldsonof the losers both contributed fivehits to the clouting match. The fourthgame was a 10-7 victory for Phi Sig‘B’ over Phi Kappa Sigma.Game* Today3:15—Barristers vs. Lambda GammaPhiBurton-Judson vs. Counselors4:15—Ladies Aid vs. School of Busi¬nessKent vs. MagglersCaptain Norbert Burgess LeadsMaroons Toward Tennis CrownBy BURTSmall, dark, and handsome withlarge horn-rimmed glasses that hewears both on the court and off, Nor¬bert Burgess might easily be takenfor one of the campus “grinds” in¬stead of the captain of one of theUniversity’s greatest tennis teams.Burgess this year will receive histhird varsity letter in tennis as hefinishes three years of competition.In 1935, “Burg” as he is known tohis friends, won the fourth flightsingles title in his first year of BigTen competition. Last year he waseliminated after a hard battle in thesecond round by Don Leavens, theWildcat star, who went on to win thesecond flight title easily. However,Burge.ss then teamed with Norm Bic¬kel to sweep through the firstdoubles bracket and he did his sharewhen the two whipped Grant andHall to gain ninth spot in the nation¬al rankings, in addition to reachingthe national intercollegiate finals.Burgess’s steady play in doubles doesmuch to keep the more brilliant butat times inconsistent Bickel from lo.?-ing himself, and his spectacular killsat the net give the audience a realthrill.Started At Age of 14Burgess first started to play ten¬nis at the age of 14 and in littlemore than a year he won both the MOYERjunior and senior titles in Elmhurstwhere he was then living. At Elm¬hurst high school in 1930 he capturedthe West Suburban singles title and,moving to Oak Park, he went to thestate doubles finals with Bickel in1932. In 1933 he lost to JohnnyShostrom, now a teammate, in thequarter-finals of the state singlestournament.In his tennis career, Burgess hascompeted in approximately 12 majortournaments and although most ofhis success has come with Norm Bic¬kel in doubles competition he putsup a dogged and persistent battle inall of his singles battles. In confer¬ence play he is undefeated this yearand if he can get past Russell Ballof Northwestern this afternoon hehas a very good chance of gaininghis flight title no matter how thepairings turn out.As to his future Burgess is inabout the same spot as his side-kick,Bickel. Both hope to finish their col¬legiate careers by winning the na¬tional intercollegiate doubles titleand then spend the summer touringthe Eastern lawn tennis circuit. Ifthey meet with success they maypostpone their business careers.Meanwhile Burg will do his best tolead the Maroons to a Big Ten ten¬nis title.Intramural Softhall StandingsAlpha LeagueWonPhi Kappa Psi 3Delta Upsilon 2Beta Theta Pi 1Psi Upsilon ‘B’ 0Beta LeaguePhi Beta Delta 2Psi Upsilon 2Sigma Chi lChi Psi ‘B’ 0Gamma LeaguePhi Gamma Delta 2Alpha Delta Phi 2Chi P.si ‘A’ 2Pi Lambda Phi 0Delta LeaguePhi Sigma Delta ‘B’ 3Delta Kappa Epsilon 2Zeta Beta Tau 1Phi Kappa Sigma 0 I EpsilonLost I Won Lost0 I Phi Sigma Delta 3 01 i Kappa Sigma 2 12 !

The rest of the in¬field will be the same used in theprevious games. Bill Gillerlain willcontinue his duties at the first sack,with Frenchy White at short stop.Because of his slugging tactics RemyMeyer will remain on third.The outfield which has functionedas a unit better than the infield, willagain be composed of Lawson inright, Bernard in center, and Soder-lind in left.Lawson Clears FenceYesterday the Maroons had field¬ing and batting practice in prepara¬tion of the Northwestern game. Sev¬eral times during practice LaftyLawson, .switch hitter, sent the horse-hide ov'er the left field fence.The Wildcats are at present timein the cellar of the Big Ten Con¬ference race. Chicago stands justabove them with one win, so accord¬ing to the books, the Maroons shouldwin. Rifle Club TeamsWin^ Lose in TwoWeek-End MatchesThe varsity and club teams of theUniversity Rifle and Pistol club wonand lost their respective matchesagainst W’heaton College and theCommonwealth Edison team held lastweek. The defeat of the club teamby the “light” boys was a sweet bitof revenge to the later. January 23,Chicago’s team beat them by threepoints. This time they beat the Ma¬roons by three points, 1328 to 1325.Carl Henrikson, coach, placed firstin the Commonwealth match with270 from a possible 300.

RayElMnwood and Jay Berwanger whoaccounted for five firsts then, havegraduated.
