Phrases like“energetic, obliging Howard Mortruns Reynolds club” make one a littlesick. One adjective never suffices, andarticles are poison apparently.Survey of UniversityThe longest article of the issueconsists of a general history of theUniversity and survey of its presentcondition. The writers try to make thesignificance of Hutchins’ administra¬tion the inversion of Harper’s theoryof building a great Universitythrough great men. In view of thefact that Camay, Jaeger, Bowen, allgreat men, have come during thepast two years, the attempted con¬trast seems chiefly an attempt, not areality.The survey of student personali¬ties and organizations is perhaps thebest section of the magazine. Thestyle refrains from hitting the readerin the face with “dynamic” diffuse¬ness, as in the news section, uncoversa few private lives.The literary section would be nice ifit were comprehensible. It beginswith a strangely fantastic classifica¬tion of campus literary productioninto schools, proceeds to six sonnetsand a self-styled allegory, althoughthe allegory fails to be more than animpressionistic sketch.The sonnets, with two exceptions,suffer from the illusion that harsh¬ness and complicated words and(Continued on page 2) Vol. 38 No. 6 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1937 Price 5 CentsFormer Oxford Student FindsUniversity Typically AmericanBecause Chicago is considered theepitome of Americanism in England,Edouard Herbert Roditi, Englishjournalist and poet has entered theUniversity this year to study Ro¬mance Languages. In his spare mo¬ments he intends to do some scriptwriting for the cinema as well as tofinish a book of poems.A tall, dark gentleman wearing thevery European looking horn-rimmedglasses and speaking with a decidedEnglish accent, Roditi told of his ex¬periences as movie critic for TheLondon Spectator in Paris and of hislife while a student at Oxford Uni¬versity. Though born in Paris 27years ago, he is an American citi¬zen because his father is, and was inParis at the time because of his oc¬cupation.Studied at OxfordRoditi lived in both Paris andEngland for the first years of his lifeand then was sent to Oxford Univer¬sity.

Proceeds willgo to the University Settlement.The auction will be held tonight,during the Pulse Birth Day dance andjam session in the Reynolds Club.“The dance is free to everyone,”said a Pulse spokesman last night.“We have one purpose in mind—tocelebrate the Birth Day of Pulse byforgetting business and relaxing com¬pletely. Hence the informality of theaffair.There will be no admission charge.The doors will be open by 7:45.Editors of the magazine announcedthat the first issue, /m .^ale today, al¬ready has a guaranteed paid circula¬tion of 2,500, and warned buyers topurchase copies early.Loyola News Suggests DailyMaroon Deserves “Chastening”A new angle on the 1937-38 Daily.Maroon platform was suggested yes¬terday when the Loyola News editor¬ial column bluntly asserted that edi¬tor William McNeill should be chas¬tened rather than Hutchins, not onlyfor his aversion to Aristotle but for“the well being of the University ofChicago.”Although metropolitan papers werequick to seize upon the editorial is¬sue which abolished intercollegiateathletics, the editor of the Catholicuniversity daily paper confined him¬self to a reproach of McNeill and alaudation of the president’s stand oneducation.Placement Office MakesNew Teachers’ RatingPrepared under the direction ofR. C. Woellner, head of the Boardof Vocational Guidance and Place¬ment, a new’ .schedule for the ratingof students engaged in practice orapprentice teaching is being put intou.se this year. The schedule hasbeen in the process of developmentfor the past several years, saysVV’oellner, and is designed to give theBoard more specific data upon whichit may recommend its students to theinstitutions seeking their employ¬ment.By means of the schedule, practiceteachers are themselves allowed toevaluate their own abilities with re¬gard to the quality of their training,the extent of their teaching power,their efficiency in classroom manage¬ment, and their personality. TheBoard of Vocational Guidance sup¬plies educational institutions all overthe country with information re¬garding the abilities of students whohave been trained as teachers at theUniversity. Ran the editorial column — “ThatPresident Hutchins refuse.s to takeDewey and his ilk too seriously ismerely a tribute to the man’s com¬mon sense. His ‘evasion’ rests simplyin his recognition of the fact that thefirst principles of a true philosophycannot be proved for the simple rea¬son that they are immediately evidentwithout proof ... in recognizing thefutility of arguing with a school ofthought that acknowledges no objec¬tive principles of morality, of rightand wrong, by refusing to dignifywith an answer the quibblings of menwhose only standard of good or evilis the pragmatic norm of ‘Does itwork?’ President Hutchins displays awisdom too seldom witne.ssed in ourmodern universities.”A suggestion for philosophic con¬troversy was advanced by the youth¬ful Loyola editor when he stated thatmodern pragmatists as the newcom¬ers in philosophy should prove theirright to replace the time honoredAristotle, rather than having Aristo¬telian and scholastic metaphysics inthe constant position of the defensive.Perhaps there will shortly sproutthe i-umor that Hutchins is going toLoyola.Announce Changes inPsychology. PersonnelProfessor A. G. Bills, formerly ofthe department of Psychology, hasleft to teach at the University ofCincinnati, it was revealed yesterdayby Dr. Harvey A. Carr, Chairman ofthe Department of Psychology. Theappointment for the Autumn andWinter quarters of Edward Geldreichas instructor in Psychology to teachProfessor Bill’s courses was also an¬nounced. Geldrich, a graduate stu¬dent, took his degree at Cincinnati. English essay enabled him to wina .scholarship. He says that undertheir system it is impossible to workone’s way through the university.This is due to the fact that Oxfordis situated in such a rural section ofEngland, and because the restrictionsplaced upon the students are muchgreater. For one thing, they aremade to wear their caps and gownseverywhere they go after 9 in theevening.While here, Roditi became a friendof T. S. Eliot, England’s outstand¬ing poet.

Unprecedented OccurrenceCalls for Revision ofRules.Havoc was raised among membersof Blackfrairs recently when it wasdiscovered that Francis Callahan, Ab¬bot appointed for this year, will notreturn to the campus.Never before in the history ofBlackfriars has an Abbot not return¬ed to accept his post, and there hasbeen no provision made to appoint anew one.Three alternatives are possible.Each member of the Board of Su¬periors could move up a step inwhich case Carey would get in with aminimum of fuss and bother; theBoard of Superiors could be disband-Orient TransferStudents FridayThe social adjustment of transferstudents has become more and morea major concern of the University’sorientation program, resulting thisyear in an enlarged schedule ofTransfer Week events.Friday night marks a high spot inthe Transfer Student program witha dinner at Judson Court, a showingof the campus new’sreel and an openhouse at Ida Noyes Hall as the majorevents of the evening.With Dean Leon P. Smith as toast¬master, the dinner is starting prompt¬ly at 6. Campus leaders will be onhand to outline major activities andoffer students an opportunity to takepart in extra-curricular programs.Following the dinner, students andtheir counselors are to adjourn to thetheatre of Ida Noyes Hall where PaulWagner is reshowing his newsreelsfrom the previous year. Through thecourtesy of the Ida Noyes Council,the women’s club house will bethrown open for the evening anddancing, bowling, ping pong, bil¬liards and bridge will entertainguests for the evening at no charge.The evening’s program has beenplanned not only for transfer stu¬dents entering the University thisfall, but also for those who enteredlast Winter or Fall quarter. EdgarFaust and Mary Lou Price are head¬ing Transfer Week activities thisyear. Maroon Changes DateOf Freshman TrainingMeeting to TuesdayEditor William Mc^^eill’s lecture tofreshmen on “How the MaroonWorks”, previously set for next Wed¬nesday, will be given instead onTuesday, October 12, since a FilmSociety production is now scheduledfor Wednesday afternoon.All interested freshmen are re¬quested to appear at Lexington Hall,Room 55, at 3:30 for enlightenmenton the intricacies of manufacturingMaroons.If their interest continues, theymay attend a staff meeting on thefollowing Friday and begin regularwork on Monday October 18.McNeill’s policy contrasts withthat of previous editors who conduct¬ed a long training period for prospec¬tive reporters. It is hoped that alarger and more enthusiastic turnoutof freshmen will result from thisinnovation. Blackfriars, the perennial sorespot ofcampus politics, appears ready to give usanother example of Psi U. fraternal feel¬ing. The selection of the new abbot is inthe hands of the Board of Trustees, com¬posed of members of the Board of Supe¬riors. Sibley, last year's abbot, is presi¬dent ex officio.Rumor has it that Frank Carey will beelevated to the abbot-ship. He hasworked only a single year on the show,and his only recommendation for the posi¬tion is his fraternity affiliation. Like Sibley,he is a Psi U.Blackfriars is in danger of becoming adramatic branch of Psi U.ed and a new board selected by theBoard of Trustees of the Friars; or,as is most likely, the Board of Trus¬tees will appoint the Abbot fromamong the present Superiors.At any rate, final decision will restwith the Board of Trustees made upof former Superiors and managers.No definite date has been set as yetfor a meeting of the Board.

There will be dancing in thelibrary and the YWCA room in con¬nection with the open house spon¬sored by the Ida Noyes AdvisoryCouncil. Exhibited at the Paris Expositionthis fall are plans by M. LlewellynRaney, Director of University Li¬braries, for a new building to solvethe pressing problem of book storageat Harper. The new library, in theform of a tower to be erected 50 feetfrom Harper between Haskell Halland the Law building, will be usedfor Humanities and Social Sciencereadings. Pairs of reading rooms willbe on each floor with the appropriatebooks between. As Haskell is not in¬tended to stand permanently, andsince the Law building can be moved,the tower will have plenty of roomfor additions if built.Ever since shelf space at Harperbegan to be packed with SocialScience texts, books have been over¬flowing into Wieboldt and Classics,Change RequirementsFor History DegreesStudents who are newly enrolledin the department of History will findone important change in the coursesnow offered for study. Although itstill is necessary for one to correlatetwo fields for the Bachelor’s degree,the two sequences in Modern Euro¬pean History have been combined andare given as one field.Students who choose the ModemEuropean sequence as one of theirfields will be required to take threecourses in chronological order takenfrom courses 231, 233, 235 and 238.All those who made their scheduleunder the old system will be allowedto carry out their original plans. and burrowing into the basements ofthe girls’ dormitories. Raney decidedthat the problem is threefold. TheCollege books, he thinks, should bekept in the planned College buiding,the natural science texts will be ta¬ken care of in a sort of ScienceCapitol where the experimental in¬formation will be separated from thehistorical. The tower will house theother books.In the meantime, even if fundswere forthcoming immediately, atleast a year and a half’s planningwould be needed before beginningconstruction.

A chastened President.Social ReorganizationYesterday we outlined a basis for the re¬organization of campus social system thatmight breathe a new and vigorous life into thelanguishing University community. The pro¬posal was the creation of University-financedgroups that would meet for discussions ofquestions of mutual interest weekly. Everystudent would be invited to one or anothergroup.What would be the effect of such a measureon the present set up on the campus?In the first place, the vast army of unattach¬ed, commuting students would for the firsttime become a part of the University commu¬nity, would become students in more than atuition-paying sense. Through the meetings,announcements of student undertakings couldbe assured of reaching all the undergraduatebody instead of the fraction which is now ex¬posed to the normal publicity channels. Allstudent organizations would experience an in-vigoration therefrom.The intramural department would have aframework for real extension of its w'ork' toall the students who could be interested in ath¬letics. At present the independent division ofintramurals contains two or three respectableteams, notably teams from the Law School andthe Theological Seminary. It is apparent thatno team can be built of persons who do notknow' one another already. The great successof the intramural program among administra¬tive offices and graduate students in depart¬ments during the summer is a proof of the suc¬cess which intramurals have when there arepre-existing groups to build upon; the ill-suc¬cess of the undergraduate independent pro¬gram proves the impossibility of vigorous in¬tramural athletics without such groups.But what about the fraternities and clubs?If the new system were really successful,the unique value of fraternities and clubswould be much reduced. The student couldget most of the values of close association withfellow students without the expense which theold units necessarily entail. For students board¬ing on the campus the intimate association ofliving in a fraternity house would still be un¬rivaled.The fraternities though, would suffer.

Thefish had a fur coat on.OMNES GALLIA. ..My friend said that when anthropologists relaxthey divide everything into three parts—Rocktivera,which explains itsself; Herbivera, which are plants;ad Omnivera, which, of course, covers whatever is left,He knew about the recent much-publicized expedi¬tion to the top of Shiva’s Temple—that vertical mesain Colorado.

He thinks ten dollars a pair might beabout right, counting the expressage.It TakesALL KINDS OF PEOPLESomeone should devote a bit of research to the ques¬tion “Why Margaret Penney gives so much time toactivities.”She’s in everything except football—and of courseno one playsfootball. She stays up all night for Capand Gown, she falls down stairs while working for theDramatic Association, she publicizes, sells subscrip¬tions, announces, applies make-up,—oh, gawd.And for what? Nothing but sleepless nights andF’s on the comprehensives. It may be that she’s madeof the mud of martyrs—or perhaps she’s a self sac¬rificing zealot—but the mystery still remains.Then she has other idiosyncracies. For instance,she buys teapots. She passes out cigarettes with nevera grimace. She doesn’t believe in reducing. And shemakes many of her own clothes.It’s very easy to talk to “Penny.” She does all thework. Her deep monotonous voice drones on and onwithout punctuation marks or change of tone and herface never changes expression.She will tell you that her parents are both phil¬osophers with Ph.D’s (and you wonder what wouldhappen if Penny herself ever earned a degree.) Herfrequent reference to their achievements, it seems,must be a compensatory reaction to her own failure toaccomplish anything at her studies.If you haven’t yet met Penney on campus youshould, and you undoubtedly will. She will be here forsome years yet trying to get through the surveys. Ofcourse there is some danger that the University willdismiss her if she doesn’t pass within a few years,But that will be the school’s loss. Somebody has to dothe dirty work around these activities, and Penny hasbeen a perfect lamb.On the whole Penny has not been sufficiently ap¬preciated by her acquaintances on campus. There’s akind heart ’neath that voluminous exterior. Threatened BeautyWants to Be AloneBecause of the threatening let¬ter sent to her by Ralph Hays,who now rests in the city jail,vivacious freshman beauty, BettyAnn Evans, has cloistered herselfin Foster Hall, refusing all visitorsand telephone calls, even thosefrom such a pure source as theYWCA.Relieved as she is, Betty is stillreluctant to reenter campus acti¬vities, Miss Dorothy Brosi, Fosterhouse-mother, declared.H. I. SchlesingerRewrites TexOne of the most widely used textson the campus, “General Chemistry”by Herman I. Schlesinger, professorof Chemistry has just been publish¬ed in its third edition. From manypoints of view the third edition,which will be used in chemistry 104and 105, is an entirely new textbook.Vital new concepts and material andmany progressive teaching techniqueshave been introduced. ProfessorSchlesinger said in reference to theeffect of his book on the teaching ofthe classes mentioned, “The methodof presentation will be almost thesame but the order will be radicallydifferent”. The most important dif¬ferences between the new and oldtexts are a more detailed descriptionof the factors influencing reactionvelocity. Chapters on the periodicsystem, radio-activity, and atomicstructure have been completely re¬written to allow the u.<e of a newmethod of presenting the modernideas involved. A new departure inthe subject matter of the revised edi¬tion is a study of the unification ofmany chemical reactions through thestudy of energy.Pulse—(Continued from page 1)structure make good poetry. Theexceptions are the sonnets by Stepan-chev and Speer. Stepanchev gets realpoetry, harmonious rhythm, effectivesimiles, vivid images, and just enoughof an idea to fit into a sonnet. Speerhas a neat conceit, an effective sextet.Ashley’s “Dictator Death” is anexcellent piece of descriptive writing,though one is troubled by occasionalstatements such as “runnig full ofbeer and whiskey is dialectical.” Theallegory is scarcely apparent.So much for the written matter.The cuts are excellent and numerous,the best being the shot of John vande Water after a freshman for a Ma¬roon subscription.The layout is sadly reminiscent ofPhoenix, the use of light type in thecenter section being particularly un- I Submit Scripts forPlaywriting ContestBefore November 1Social problem plays predominatein the College Playwriting Contest,the closing date of which has beenextended to November 1 to enablestudent playwrights to receive criti¬cism from their drama professorsand rework their scripts.Its joint sponsors, the WPA FederalTheatre Project and its National Col¬legiate Advisory Committee, guaran¬tee a production of the prize winningplay for at least one week at theusual rental rate of $50 a week. Ifattendance w’arrants, the run will beextended.Since its original closing date, Sep¬tember 1, the number of entrants hasmore than doubled. Any regularly en¬rolled student in an American collegemay yet submit an original full-length script. From all regions andfrom all types of colleges scriptshave been received, with entries ofthe Maxwell Anderson species of“poetic drama,” running second tothe social problem play.Hallie Flanagan, national directorof the project, stated that there wasno restriction of theme, although di¬rect observation of contemporaryAmerican life w’as preferred.Roditi-(Continued from page 1)would be expected of him.Became Movie CriticWhen forced to leave Oxford be¬cause of financial difficulties Roditiwent to Paris where he became moviecritic for The London Spectator,wrote scripts for the cinema, andpublished .several books of poetry.Roditi’s first visit to America w’asin 1929 just two weeks before thestock market crash. At this time hisopinion was that all Americans werecrazy. In his second visit in 1933he found us more normal human be¬ings. Both these visits were center¬ed in the eastern states, and so whenhe planned to come to America andbecome a teacher of Romance Lang¬uages, he decided upon a section ofthe country that would be typicallyAmerican.As well as all his other interests.Roditi has been active in the sur¬realistic movement, having w’rittensome of the first surreali.stic poems.But his interest in this subject hasbeen gradually diminishing.fortunate. The linoleum block printsaccompanying the .sonnets are simplyhorrible.On the whole, the magazine is animprovement over Phoenix, and theeditors are to be praised therefor.But the superiority of a newsmaga¬zine over the conventional featurearticle magazine is yet to be proved.A good polemic still makes betterreading than a neutral survey.All the Information on theUniversity at Your FingertipsSTUDENTHANDBOOK25eOnly a Few Left.

We feel that the on¬ly plausible way of coverig recordsis to handle those of one orchestraat a time in order to give a more in¬timate knowledge of the band andin order to resurrect earlier signi¬ficant recordings. For this purposewe have first chosen Roy Eldridgesince he has the greatest jam band.This does not imply that he isgreater than the Duke whose jiveis on the organized side.Eldridge first came to prominencewith Teddy Hill’s orchestra on theirrecording of King Porter. His lickson this record later made Goodmanfamous. After leaving Hill, Roy hadhis own band at the Famous Doorwhere he doubled with Norvo. Atthis time he made two sides for Dec-ca under the name of the Delta Four,which included Meister, Weiss andMar.saila. Titles: Bugle Call Ragand Swinging on the Famous Door.Roy then went with Fletcher, succeed¬ing Red Allen who had gone withMills’ Blue Rhythm. His record¬ings with Fletcher are Vocalions andVictors. On Vocalions: Chris Colum¬bus, Blue Lou, Stealing Apples, andGrand Terrace Swing. These rec¬ords are chiefly rides by Berry, Bail¬ey, and Roy. On Victor he princi¬pally did pop music of which MaryHad a Little Lamb is most outstand¬ing.Since Eldridge was given to jam¬ming with Goodman, they eventuallyturned out some records under GeneKrupa’s name which gave the playlargely to Roy and Benny with HelenWard on vocal. (Gonna Clap MyHands, and Mutiny in the Parlor).Roy left Henderson about a yearago and organized his present band,which has done some recording forVocalion, the best of which areHecklers Hop and Wabash Hop.These re^rds are chiefly Roy andScoops. The latter opens with get-offs that are really killers. Vocalionalso has done some Eldridge-MildredBailey records with Norvo on thewood pile and Hemen on the tenor.They, alas, are mechanically poor,but otherwise solid. The combina¬tion used on these records is threereeds. Carry, Young, and J. Eldridge;piano, T. Cole; drums, Zutty; bass,Parkham; guitar, Collis; with Roy ontrumpet.Recently Zutty, who is definitelycorny, was replaced with Winslowfrom Noone, and Cole was succeededby Jimmy Howell who played pianoaround campus last year with TonyFanubro’s orchestra. With the demiseof Zutty and the addition of Howell,Eldridge now has the most solid bandof its size, and its new records whichrumor has it are to be done in NewJersey to avoid the local ban, shouldbe too much.(Due to the increased “swing” in-tere.st on campus, JIVE has under¬taken to organize a Record Club.Suggestions on the part of you, theJIVE, will be heartily appreciated.)Today on theQuadranglesTHE UNIVERSITY BULLETINThursdayDames Club.
