Gideonse, and other faculty mem¬bers.Speaking on the stormy topic “TheMemorial Day Shooting—Policing theSteel Strike,” yesterday afternoon.Professor Malcolm P. Sharp, of theLaw School, reviewed the bloody in¬cident as it had been presented tohim as chairman of the Citizen’sJoint Commission of Inquiry.Most sig^nificant to ProfessorSharp are the widespread implica¬tions which arose from that historicSunday afternoon event. “There arewider implications than mere law-and-order and a clash between whatsome people term the radicals andthe conservatives,” he said.Brutality and InefficiencyWith respect to the police, he point¬ed out the brutality and inefficiencywhich seem prevalent in the Chicagosystem. “I am not an alarmist,” hewarned, “but I am afraid that theviolence evident at the disorder mightappear in a more sinster form.”Professor Sharp, representing theCommission, questioned strikers andsympathizers, was present at the cor¬oner’s hearings, at the LaFollette in¬quiry, and received a report fromnotable lawyers with respect to thelabor relations act, picketing, andsimilar matters. He also studied theParamount newsreels, photographstaken by newspaper men on the scene,and the reports of investigating com¬mittees.From the mass of research.

Parker willspeak on subjects related to the gen¬eral theme of the conference. Otherfeatures will include educational ex¬hibits.They weren’t fooling. Pulse cameout a second time and on schedule.Slightly matured with age and ex¬perience, it comes nearer to beingworthwhile in its second issue.The news section was Timized inits grammar. In accurate non-angledconclusions it fell short of its model.Reporting of news events was heav¬ily colored with personal views ofPulseditors. There is still hope thatPulse will perhaps lose its inferior¬ity complex which the Daily Maroonhas afflicted it with. Over-compensa-j tion is obvious as are the not so sly,sly digs at the campus daily.Features Are EverythingThe features of the magazine areeverything and more than the fond¬est prophesies of the staff intimated.In its features in fact, lies its realstrength and worth. The heralded re¬view of the sports situation was sin¬cere and convincing. Although nodefinite conclusion was reached onthe situation, the facts are clear andthe reader is left with well docu¬mented information and can formhis own ideas on this highly contro¬versial issue.James Wellard’s masterly article,“Let’s Have Done With Time Style”was what a lot of us wanted to saybut didn’t know how. No better andmore humorous case for the “tradi¬tionalists” could have been offeredand Pulse is to be complimented foropening its columns to a scathingand effective criticism of its style.Unconsciously perhaps, Wellard hasabsorbed some of the quizzical longsuffering style of Benchley, Thurberand the New Yorker. The Spanisharticle and the letters from Spainrank in literary value with the fineand much discussed “The Ragged Place Ballot Boxes inBartlett, Mandel, Cobb,Harper, and Ida Noyes.What is the campus opinion on thecurrent proposals that the Universityshould abolish intercollegiate ath¬letics and that Chicago should with¬draw from the Big Ten? The DailyMaroon will attempt to obtain theanswers to such questions in a cam¬pus-wide poll to be conducted tomor¬row.Ballots in MaroonBallots will be distributed withFriday’s Daily Maroon and additionalones may be obtained in the firstfloor lobby of Cobb Hall. In orderthat ballot box stuffing may be a-voided, each person must sign hisname to his ballot. Unsigned ballotswill not be counted.Ballot boxes will be set up in thefollowing locations: Bartlett gymnas¬ium, near the Athletic office; Mandel.cloisters near the Coffee Shop; Cobbhall, first floor lobby; Harper library,near the President’s office; and IdaNoyes hall lobby.Results will be tabulated and an¬nounced in Tuesday’s Daily Maroon.Results SignificantThe results of the poll should bevery significant in view of the pres¬ent controversies and rumors con¬cerning the University athletic set¬up. Downtown newspapers and pressassociations have already shownconsiderable interest in the outcome.The poll will give students an op¬portunity to express their opinion asto whether the University shouldabolish intercollegiate athletics, whe¬ther the status quo shoiiid be main¬tained, whether Chicago should with¬draw from the Big Ten, and whetherthe University should subsidize ath¬letics.In the past few weeks. The DailyMaroon has presented editoriallyarguments in favor of abolishing in¬tercollegiate athletics, withdrawingfrom the Big Ten, and providing anincreased intramural program.

The struggle of aJew in school is only an early partof the struggle in life which Jewsfind always. Of better caliber was theessay than that of all but the best ofcollege writers.

Reform of Blacldriors.That Liberal PlatformLiberals have been many things in thecourse of time, from wild rebels against thestatus quo to sleek, well-meaning citizens.Modern liberals have been called those who meetcrises with good intentions and nothing more.The Liberal party platform printed in yester¬day’s Maroon lives up to this definition.Its authors are very anxious to do some¬thing about the sad state of the world—goodintentions—but show no signs of knowingwhere they are going so fast. They even havea very soft-hearted idea of the sort of worldthey live in.The last plank, or rather filament, in theplatform is the best example. It excites asmile even to read it. “Questions affectingthe relations of capital and labor are too com¬plicated for this platform to consider. Gener¬ally, however, we are against monopoly inlabor or in capital ”This is the stand of the Liberal party on themost crucial issue of our times! There is notenough* substance in this plank even to make arespectable sliver.The rest of the platform consists of piouswishes with no indication as to how' they are tobe realized. The Liberals, they say, have faithin democratic processes, favor stringent regula¬tion of enterprises by the government, wantthe government to guarantee the security ofall its citizens, and ask government co-opera¬tion for world peace. Yet the only hint as tohow this omnipotent government is to performsuch miracles is a plank favoring an honestcivil service.Such a platform totally neglects the sort ofworld we live in. Government regulation is allvery well if there were some way of keepingthe government honest and efficient. Govern¬ment guarantee of individual security meansreally a complete control of the economy,which would be all right if the governmentcould be made as perfect an instrument as mostliberals imagine it. Until that devoutly to bewished eventuality is realized, simple accept¬ance of government control of the economy isthe worst kind of wishful thinking.This is what the liberals have fallen into.They feel the world to be unjust, they imaginethe government as a thing apart from the menVol. 38 OCTOBER 28, 1937 No. 18 that make it up, and they thus leave out all thecompromises and corruption which men bringinto government. They have not thought outthe implications of their stands in the slight¬est.We will criticize the other platforms insucceeding editorials.CurdscmdWhey"... from the milk ofhuman kindness, I guess."By CODY PFANSTIEHLFOLLOW-UP ON DOGThey asked me to the telephone yesterday—said itwas a woman.

They called the Chapel office.The Chapel office had the cap.It TakesALL KINDS OF PEOPLE“The University was only nine months old when Istarted work here,” says Tom Dinsdale, the Univer¬sity’s oldest employee, who came here 44 years ago froma farm in the Adirondacks. He remembers the djite,June 29, 1893, because it was Derby Day. It was theyear of the World’s Columbian Exposition, and duringthe summer-the University had been turned into a hotelfor World’s Fair visitors. At that time the Universityconsisted of Kelly, Beecher, Cobb, the three Divinityhalls, Snell Hall, and a temporary gymansium whichstood on the site of the present Reynold’s Club. Kent,Ryerson, Foster, and Walker Museum were being built,and the president’s house was going up on funds ex¬tracted from the World’s Fair visitors.Tom started work in the new' Foster hall on October9 of that year. He worked 21 years in the girls’ hallsafter which he was transferred to the University HighSchool athletic department.Tom always has been interested in athletics, and ismuch against the abolition of intercollegiate athletics.“The first 20 years I worked here I never missed afootball game,” he proudly states, and goes on to des¬cribe the Tally-Hoes which were driven up to the fieldby students and used as bleachers. “The men worelongtailed coats, striped trousers, and winged collars,”he reminisces. “Many of them sported flowing mus¬taches and some had full beards. “The better part ofthe University grounds looked like a grain field, andduring the first year in his new house. President Harper kept a cow which pastured in the space where theChapel now stands.”Since 1926 Tom has been occupied in maintenancework for Ida Noyes, Blaine hall, Belfield hall, and Sun¬ny gymnasium. He likes the friendly atmosphere ofthe University. “After all, I wouldn’t have stayed hereso long if I didn’t like it,” he says, but he believes hiswork here is about over. He has many vivid memoriesof the University of 44 years ago, and when he looksback he is astonished at its tremendous growth. “WhenI came here the Buildings and Grounds force consistedof a superintendent, a chief engineer, a plumber, sixboiler tenders, and eight janitors. Now there’s a payrollline a block long.”Tom Dinsdale’s runner-up by six months is August(Gus) Peterson, who came here November 6, 1893. Hehas worked in the girls’ halls steadily since that time.“Girls nowadays don’t eat as sensible as they used to,”he claims. “They eat too much pie and cake and salad.”Gus hopes to work here as long as he can, perhapswaiting for the time when he will be the oldest em¬ployee at the University. ig^ery r»W:\t ^aroimFOUNDED IN 1961Member Associated Oollegiate PressHie Daily Maroon is the official student newspaper of the Uni¬versity of Chicago, pubiished mornings except Saturday, Sunday,and Monday during the Autumn, Winter, and Spring quarters byThe Daiiy Maroon Company, 6831 University avenue.

ThePrinted PageBy GEORGE STEINBRECKERTo Have and Have Not; Ernest Hem¬ingway, Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1937Strong but not great is ErnestHemingway’s latest novel, “To Haveand Have Not.” Like its predecessor,“The Sun Also Rises,” written 12years agtr, this latest work is of des¬pairing alcoholics whose only solaceis their cups and in their escapesfrom the dismal thoughts of theirenvironment. Unlike “The Sun AlsoRises,” “To Have and Have Not”deals with more than one set ofsociety, shows rich and poor alikeover their beers, whiskeys and sodas,and cocktails.Even though a forceful writer com¬bining style with subject matter,Hemingway is not a consummate ar¬tist. He is too taken up with thefeeling he has of his time to incor¬porate it into something greater thanthe mere expression of that feeling.“To Have and Have Not” as a workof art shows greater force and unitythan “The Sun Also Rises,” butneither is carefully worked out in it¬self.Tragic Degenerationof MorganThis latest novel is the story of thetragic degeneration of a distinctlylow-class Harry Morgan whose ac¬tions we follow through Hemingway’searly style of simple emphasis andrepetition from a private Floridancaptain for game fishing vacationists,to smuggler of aliens, to rum runner,to death. And this theme is tragic,for we feel the inevitability of thecharacter’s degeneration. All the wayHarry Morgan has stood alone; butin his last breath he is forced to ad¬mit: “A man. One man alone ain’tgot. No man alone now. No matterhow a man alone ain’t got no bloody—chance.”But the strength of the ending issomehow lost in the longer sentencesof a new Hemingway who seems tobe confronted with something henever realized when he began hiswork. In the last half of the book hebecomes increasingly interested inthe desparate ennui and degeneracyof the rich and this almost oversha¬dows the main theme. This bookcould have been stronger, had heworked in earlier this contrast ofthe wealthy against the poor Mor¬gan.The chief faults of Hemingwayseem to be his morbid preoccupationwith the “unnatural” extremes of so¬ciety, and with sex. His charactersare socially very high or very low.Their problems are not typical, andHemingway’ stress seems to be onthe more abnormal aspects of thesepeople. His interest in the usually un¬mentionable four-letter words, andhis expression of the iqtimacies ofsex add little to the center core of hisbook, being rather added food forjaded literary appetites.Hemingway CharactersShallowThe more I read of Hemingway themore I think that those of us whofind him great for the agreement ofour personal despair with the despairin his works—and there are many ofus who do—must turn our mindsfrom chaotic irrationalism to a By SEYMOUR MILLER“The best news-man Chicago hashad!” Such was James Keeley, one¬time dictator of the Chicago Tribuneand the man who made it the“World’s Greatest Newspaper.”James Weber Linn has written an¬other of his easy-reading, interesting—and unimportant books in thisbiography of the famous “J. K.”During the War, the two men wereassociates on the Chicago Herald.The book was published last week.A self-made man was James Kee¬ley. At the age of 16 his mother tookhim off the streets of London wherehe delivered newspapers, and senthim alone to Leavenworth, Kansas.Here he arrived with $14 in his pock¬et. A few years later he left Leaven¬worth and began working newspap¬ers in the Middle West and South.In 1899 Keeley came to Chicagoand landed a job as night-police re¬porter on the Chicago Tribune. With¬in eight years he had risen to themanaging editorship of the paper,and three years later he was sittingin the editor’s chair. Although per¬haps not a great editor, he knewwhat was news and how to get it.Keeley andInsullA host of well-known names passthrough the book—John T. McCut-cheon, the columnist B. L. T., andmany other journalists. And oneshould not overlook the heart-rend¬ing story of poor Sam Insull, the manwho did more for his city than anyother business man, only to bringdisaster down upon himself as a re¬sult of his ardent desire to serveChicago and the United States. Ifyou don’t shed tears over this, itwon’t be Teddy’s fault.It was Keeley who initiated suchstandard features of every well-con¬ducted newspaper as the advice-to-the-love-lom column, the Good Fel¬lows idea, the health column andthe beauty column. It was Keeleywho had the account of Dewey’s vic¬tory at Manila on the streets be¬fore the United States governmentknew of it.Although he owned no stock inthe Tribune he was absolute dictatorof it, while editor. However, despitethe fact that he had made it themost powerful paper west of theAlleghenies and had boosted the cir¬culation considerably, he seems not tosearch for the more lasting values oflife. We are likely to be duped byHemingway’s characters who are in¬evitably shallow materialists andsensationalists with only value reali¬zations of more permanent things,but little capacity for achieving anymental understanding of their un¬happiness. And we are duped oftenbecause of many of us are just thissort of person.“To Have and Have Not,” in myopinion is not Hemingway’s greatestbook. “The Sun Also Rises” remainsthat, because the essence of despair,so patent in all of Hemingway,seems most fitting the tone of thepost-war generation of which it iswritten. “To Have and Have Not”catches but little of the spirit of theyears of which it is written; the feel¬ing is more limited to the time andplace of its setting. In time to comeI imagine the book will only be readfor its phallic innuendoes. have been well liked by Colonel“Bertie” McCormick and in 1914Keeley left the Tribune to go to theHerald, where he stayed four years.Book Superficial,ShallowLike all of James Weber Linn’s books this one is fiuently written, andinteresting—more so than usual. Al¬so like Teddy’s other books it isshallow and superficial, an account ofthe exciting things that happened inan exciting life with a little historythrown in, and little more.Music from Hollywood“ M usic f rom Hollywood ’ ’... songs of the movies... sung by the stars—and played for dancingAmerica.

The faces of many of the oldstandbys will be missing . . . And intheir places will be the countenancesand frames of untried sophomores . .Because of the absence of FredLehnhardt, injured in the Princetongame, the backfield has been shaken-up considerably . . . Lou Letts, soph¬omore tailback and w’ing-back willsee action at fullback . . Bob Greene-baum, general utility man who hasbeen turning in a swell game at cen¬ter, is once more a quarterback . . .Trading off at tail-back and wing-back will be Sollie Sherman and JohnDavenport, and shifting between fulland quarter will be Lew Hamity, stillplaying a marvelous game, whereverhe is ... A few more Hamitys andthe outlook would be much brighter, . . and that’s not just one person’sopinion . . .Goodstein has been working withthe second team . . . And this movehas established a need for a defensiveend . . . The problem is apparentlysolved (temporarily at least) withthe shifting of sophomore Russ Par¬sons to center . . .Also demoted is Bob Johnson . . .This shift will give Sophomore JohnAnderson and quarter-back Bob Sassan opportunity to break into thegame at running guard . . .The coaches have found fault withJohnson’s play at tackle . . . Perhapsrightfully . . . But something shouldbe said in his defense against theforay of critcism by the fans whoknow little about the game . . . Thecrowd sees opposing backs slice offtackle all day long, and thinks it hasdiscovered a glaring weakness in thepersonnel . . .The Maroons this year are using afive man line . . . which may meanlittle to the fans . . . But to BobJohnson and all the tackles it meansthat they must smash inwards on theopposing tackle . . . Which in turnmeans that he is wide open to a crackfrom the end or wing-back . . .

Coaches Condemn Maroon ProposalTo Abolish Inter-Collegiate GamesBy WALTER HEBERTFaculty Manager of IntramuralsIntramural sports would not satis¬factorily take the place of intercol¬legiate competition if the latter wereabolished. There will always be ajustifiable demand by - the more skill¬ed competitors for the opportunity totest their ability in outside competi¬tion. This has been borne out to someextent by the persistent request ofour intramural champions to meetthe champions of Northwestern Uni¬versity.Abolition of intercollegiate ath¬letics will not make available any ap¬preciable increase in the number ofmen competing in intramurals. Thereis hardly a varsity man that doesn’ttake part in intramurals in his offseason.Abolition of intercollegiate ath¬letics would lessen student attentionto sports competition which I believewould result in a decreased interestin all competitive play activity.The abolition of required physicaleducation, as promoted by the DailyMaroon some years ago, was suppos¬ed to result in the transfer of re¬quired play time to intramural par¬ticipation. The unattached men whomade up the majority of the “gym”classes and usually formed intramur¬al teams therein, did not get into tl\egame as predicted. We lost themand they lost one of the few situa¬tions where they were thrown togeth¬er outside the classroom, and an op¬portunity for organization.I believe it should be our aim topromote those forms of student lifewhich still remain here and which canbe deemed worth while. I believe in¬tercollegiate athletics are worth whileand intramurals will prosper to agreater extent in league with varsityactivity.“What is your opinion of The DailyMaroon’s plan ta abolish intercolle¬giate athletics?” was the questionasked recently of members of theUniversity athletic department.

Michigan Avonue, Chicago might be predicted, they were prac¬tically unanimous in condemning theproposal.McGillivray’s StatementSwimming Coach E. W. McGilli-vray stated: “The plan to abolish in¬tercollegiate meets is impractical.What if you did just have intramuralcontests? The minute some team gotso good that it beat everything insight, it would begin to look aroundfor more competition. The only placeto get it would be with other teamsfrom other schools. Then you areback where you started. Intramuralgames could never develop the senseof sportsmanship and love of compe¬tition that intercollegiate sports do.”Spyros K. Vorres, boxing and wres¬tling coach, claimed: “Intercollegiatecompetition arose when intramuralwinning teams of different collegesbegan to want more competition. Ab¬olish intercollegiate competition andyou’ll begin all over again. I thinkthat intramural sports could never oc¬cupy the position that our intercolle¬giate program now holds.”Hermanson Against AbolitionAlvar Hermanson, fencing coach,said. “I feel that such competitionas intercollegiate athletics provides,stimulates interest in the games farmore than mere intramural gamescould do.”Track Coach Ned Merriam statedthat as a coach he would oppose theabolition of intercollegiate athletics.Tarpon InitiatesSixteen TadpolesTarpon, women’s swimming club,will hold its first initiation of theyear tonight at 7:3 in Ida Noyes hallwhen 16 new members will be official¬ly admitted to the organization.Women who successfully passedthe Tadpole entrance examinationsare Dorothyann Huber, Isabell Pozer,Isabell Getz, Jane Byers, Edith Mc¬Kee, Happy Nusbaum, Marion Lott,and Ellenor Greene.
