ASUdelegates to the All-Campus PeaceCouncil will also be elected at thattime.Clubs, FraternitiesConfer With Maroon In response to the recent wide¬spread demand for social activitiesfor those students who ordinarily donot attend campus social functions,the Student Social Committee, BobEckhouse, chairman, offers a real all¬campus dance. The Committee willmeet Tuesday in Lexing;ton 5 at 3:30with representatives of all organiza¬tions on campus, to find out whetherthey really want such an event.Although no specific plans will bemade until a large majority of thoseapproached has decided to co-operate,it is definitely decided that the dancewould be formal. Eckhouse proposesthat tickets be distributed throughundergraduate groups such as publi¬cations, political groups, departmentalorganizations, religious and socialservice groups, the honor societies,and fine arts groups. No tickets willbe given to fraternities or clubs be¬cause it is felt that these studentswill be contacted in other ways. Anyprofits will be distributed among theorganizations participating, in pro¬portion to the number of tickets soldby the group.The committee requests that anyorganization interested write imme¬diately to the committee, care of Eck¬house at the Dean of Students’ office,stating whether it will send a rep¬resentative to the meeting Tuesday.At the first meeting only plans to Mreported back to the organizationswill be discussed. If enough decideto participate, tentative arrangementswill be made and tickets distributedshortly.The proposal marks the first at¬tempt by the committee to meet theneed of those students who are notmembers of social organizations fora better-balanced campus life. Theidea is largely the result of agitationthis year and last by the Maroon andthe student magazines.The student Social Committee fillsa very important place in campusactivities. It will be rememberedthat this organization assisted to avery great extent in the program ofFreshman orientation, both duringFreshman Week and afterward. Inaddition to this, the Committee co¬operated with the Transfer Orienta¬tion Committee in planning a dancefor transfer students.Rose Says EuropeHas Not LearnedFrom World WarQuestioning Daily Maroon policy,a committee which included repre¬sentatives of 11 clubs and 7 fraterni¬ties met with the Maroon Board ofcontrol in the Commons room of Cobbhall yesterday at noon with DeanLeon P. Smith as a bystander.Three questions, formulated at pre¬vious meetings, were presented to theMaroon by Edgar Faust. First, he^asked, “Does the Daily Maroon rep¬resent student opinion or the opinionof its Board of Control?” To thisjthe Maroon replied that it represents*the opinion of the Board of Control jSecond was asked: “What is the poli-jcy of the Maroon on news colora¬tion?” The Maroon replied that there,is a place for simple statements and!also for exposes, so all controversialsubjects are by-lined. Finally theMaroon was asked, “What provisionis there for dissenting opinions?” Tothis the Maroon mentioned its col¬umn, Letters to the Editor, which isalways open to anyone who cares toexpress their thoughts. That the nations of Europe did notlearn much from the four years from1914-18, and that they* are rapidlydrifting toward another catastrophewas the pessimistic note sounded yes¬terday by Dr. Jaroslav Kose of Czech¬oslovakia, vice-president of the Am¬erican Institute of Prague.Calling attention to the feverisharmament preparations in these coun¬tries, he told of the house where Noblefirst synthesized dynamite in Sweden.Formerly a museum, the house hasbeen converted into an armament fac¬tory because the government’s mili¬tarization has proceeded so rapidly ithas had no time to construct build¬ings. Norway had the experience ofplacing an order for war planes, onlyto be told that the manufacturer wasbooked up until 1942.He said that the small nations incentral Europe were attempting todevelop a spirit of union througheconomic co-operation, and exchangeof cultural ideas. These newly createdcountries are very jealous of theirindependence, however, and it oftenprevents adequate co-operation.In reply to a question, Kose saidthat the nations had little faith in theability of the League of Nations toprotect them. As a result, Czecho¬slovakia has built up her army andis negotiating for mutual defensetreaties. However, these nations stillcling to the ideal of the League andhope for the day when it will be anefficacious weapon for the preserva¬tion of world peace.Page Two THE DAILY MAROON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1937PLATFORM1. Increased University effort toward studentadjustment.2. Abolition of intercollegiate athletics.3. Establishment of Political Union.4. Revision of the College plan.5. A chastened President.6. Reform of Blackfriors.The Maroon BoycottA group of twenty or so students madethemselves ridiculous yesterday noon. Thegroup was composed of the representatives ofmost of the clubs and nearly half the fraterni¬ties, the group which a few days ago was glib¬ly talking of a Maroon boycott and of startingup another paper that would reflect campusopinion.From this start their projects had toneddown considerably. In fact their position aspresented by chairman Faust was: we don’tagree with the Maroon policies; we want spaceto present our opinions. To which the Maroonreplied: oh; and we are delighted.There were some more fundamental ques¬tions brought up than this summary indicates,though hardly thanks to the chairman. Mostimportant was the question of the proper re¬lation between Maroon policy and student opin¬ion. The group felt that the Maroon did notrepresent student opinion, and that the Maroonshould represent it.This sounds plausible enough. But what isstudent opinion? There is obviously no way offinding what it is, more particularly since inalmost every case there isn’t any general opin¬ion. Only a small clique gets excited about anyone topic. The vote in the Maroon athleticspoll is sufficient proof of that.Secondly, counting noses is not and neverhas been the way to discover the truth. Aconsidered individual opinion is worth a thou¬sand off-hand or emotional opinions on a ques¬tion, and this is exactly the situation withuespect to the Maroon Board of Control’s opin¬ion and whatever campus opinion does exist.No, the Maroon represents the opinion ofthe Maroon Board of Control, and will continueto do so irrespective of the opinion of any oneclique, which is what the self styled represent¬atives of “student opinion’’ really are.There was another problem touched upon;the problem of the publicity Maroon policieshave received in the downtown press, publicitywhich has led people to think the Universityis exclusively populated by cranks, according tosome of Faust’s allies. The publicity accordedthe Maroon poll takes the sting out of this criti¬cism in this case. But the Maroon is concernedwith making the University a better Univer¬sity, and cannot forbear advocacy of a neededreform merely because some alumni will bealarmed or a few undesirable students scaredaway.Vol. 38 NOVEMBER 4, 1937 No. 22^aronnFOUNDED IN 1901Member Associated Oollesfiate PressThe Daily Maroon is the official student newspaper of the Uni¬versity of ChicaKo, published morninss except Saturday, Sunday,and Monday during the Autumn, Winter, and Spring quarters byThe Daily Maroon Company, 5831 University avenue.

E. Grenander Kicks and ControversyThe Daily Maroon'^ efforts to obtain a Campus pollof its policy regarding intercollegiate athletics we feltwas a step in the right direction. However, the editorialanalyzing it was far from “absolutely compelling, ifintellectual factors alone entered in.”In discussing its poll, the Maroon raises two points:first, that the poll was not representative of “generalstudent opinion”; second, the poll proves “studentirrationality” becau.se “the arguments advanced by theMaroon are absolutely compelling if intellectual factorsalone entered in.”Granted that the poll waS not truly representative,the outcome should have stimulated the editor to some¬thing beyond surprise; it should have stimulated hisimpeccable rational processes. We ask one simple ques¬tion: Upon what compelling intellectual basis can heapply the $15,000 spent upon intercollegiate athleticsto only the 149 students who participated in these sportswhen as a matter of fact 706, or 28 per cent, of theentire student body expressed themselves as being infavor of maintaining our participation in intercollegiateathletics, in some form or other?His second point, student irrationality, reminds us |of that ancient saying, “It,takes one to call one.” In Isupport of this seemingly rash statement, we would {also like to “rehearse the argument in fully symmetri- !cal form”—and analyze its “absolutely compelling" Iarguments. , IWe are forced to grant, as historical facts, the |statements concerning our “general social community,” Ithe fraternity and club “monopoly oi traditional activi- ities,” the “radical-liberal” group, and the commuters, j“A large part of the present University appropria- ition for student welfare and adju.stment,” says the edi- !tor, “is spent on the athletic department.” Although |we have not been able to obtain accurate figures, we jhave it on good authority that “at least $15,000, or jmore, is appropriated to the dorms, Ida Noyes, Rey- jnolds Club, etc.” for student welfare and adjustment, jWe ask whether the editor thinks that a group of sub- ^stantially more than 706, w'hich were only the expres.sed ■voices in favor of retaining intercollegiate competition, |enjoy these facilities?As evidenced by their continued intercollegiateactivity, the twelve leading American universities findthese activities still worth supporting. Most pertinent- jly, we wish to point to Columbia University, which |being in a large urban center, probably most closelyapproximates our situation here. Up until 1933, Col¬umbia was faced with increasingly poorer athleticteams. During this time their college spirit fell off, asdid their enrollment. In 1933 they found it advisableto make an extended effort to remedy the situation—not by dropping out of intercollegiate competition—but by improving their teams. The major sports have, jtraditionally if you wish, long been considered the focal !point of college spirit. We suggest that something toreplace it be built up fir.st, before destroying our“traditional” focal point. We feel certain that thefunds would be forthcoming from el.sewhere, if the Ma¬roon’s, or anyone else’s, plan could be proved an ade¬quate substitute. |It would seem that Harvard and Columbia, our two jleading universities according to the Rosenwald Foun- jdation report, do not feel that the students’ “academic 'welfare” is undermined by intercollegiate athletics, iFurthermore, it might be pointed out that rigidly en¬forced eligibility rules, such as we have here, guardagain.st this insidious undermining of students’ welfare, iThe students’ academic career is equally “undermined”by other activities as well, the most outstanding beingThe Daily Maroon, which takes up more time in the 'school year than any sport—and the Maroon does not jhave eligibility rules. 'Robert Eckhouse. Robert Wagoner, Sidney Burrell. 'Retort CourteousThis is a nice case of muddy thinking, just what weobjected to in the .student reaction to Maroon argu¬ment. Objections to the Maroon’s stand are three.That of paragraph three is irrelevant. That of thefifth paragraph is untrue. The only help the Univer¬sity offers student activities apart froni that of theathletic budget is support of a part time dramatics ,director, O’Hara, and part time debate coach. iDormitory heads, advisors other important expendi¬tures, spend time on disciplinary cases and academic |advice, rather than on any positive work toward im- 1proved student life. The above mentioned weighs in the jbalance as compared with the athletic budget. It is ionly fair to say, of cour.ee, that much of the budget of 'Ida Noyes hall, formally included in the athletic budget,maintains the more social aspects of the hall’s program.This indeed is the most valuable portion of all the work- 'done for a more vigorous student community, since the Vdramatics and debate reach relatively small numbers jof students. jThe citation of Columbia hardly takes account of the >realities of the campus situation. As long as the Uni¬versity takes its present view on athletics and athletes,a view fully justified, the University will not have win¬ning teams in the major sports. That the presentathletic program is an inadequate social center for thecampus is evident from the .small numbers of studentsthat attend games and the weak social relations whichobtain in a crowd. A more adequate one must be built,and the Maroon has at least grappled with the problemof replacement. Money is limited and both cannot, orat least will not, be financed by the present administra¬tion.As for the last crack at the Maroon, the Maroondoes not cost the University $15,000 a year, and thework is intrinsically more valuable than the muscle-moving of a football team. True, it does make a serioushole in anyone’s studies. The University, however,does not finance ths particular perversion of a campuscareer.

NOVEMBER 4, 1937 Page Three5th RowCenterBy C. Sharpless HickmanSamson and Delilah,” which form-allv opened the current season of theChicago City Opera last Mondayevenin^f, was in every way an auspic¬ious occasion—with that quiet dignitybefitting great musical accomplish¬ment as contrasted with the ratherbombastic pre-opening on Saturdaywith Verdi’s “Aida.”Not that the singers were differ¬ent—for Martinelli, VVettergren, andBaromeo were in both works—butthe truer musical feeling was ap¬parent as opposed to a distinctly so¬ciety show at the weekend perform¬ance.Signor Martinelli’s work even morethan last year, gave ri.se to the mostpleasant appreciation. To hear a manof his ripe musical tradition, give soyouthful and warm and true a per¬formance is nothing short of a mir¬acle. Only Giuseppe DeLuca, theMetropolitan’s grand old baritone,and our own Leon Rothier have, with¬in our generation, projected thismusical vitality and validity to suchan age. If there was noticeable theslightest strain in Martinelli’s highnotes it seemed not to be the resultof age but the result of an over¬desire to create the impression of astrong and youthful ardor on thepart of his Biblical role. Martinelli, Ithink it may be truthfully said,is an .American-Italo tradition—he a-lone of the grand old Italian wing ofthe pre-war Metropolitan opera hassurvived. Caruso died in his prime,Cigli succumbed to the lure of great¬er geld, and Fertile has returned toItaly also. But Martinelli goes on,season after season, with renewed ivoice and vigor, more youthful, moreardent in his work than when I firstheard him ten years ago.The cast which .sang Monday wasidentical with that of last year, butthere was noticeable a much richer'choral tone and an improved grasp ;of the role on the part of Mme. Wet-tcrgren. Indeed, her ainging of thefamous “My Heart at Thy Sweet ‘Voice” was amazing, considering hericting of the role at the same time,vhich was—for an opera singer— passionate to say the least.If from this one view of the season,and considering the repertoire duringthe next seven weeks, we may judgeas to the season’s artistic success, itshould be great. That “Boris Godou-noff” may not be given, due to theillness of Chaliapin, is the major dis¬appointment. But “Tristan” withFlagstad, Melchior and Wettergren;Gina Cigna in “Norma”; Lehmann in“Rosenkavalier” and the promise of“Tales of Hoffman” and “L’AmoreDei Tre Re” all bespeak musicalvolumes.Write Essays OnThompson, JerneganAs a tribute to the teachings oftwo retired Chicago professors,James Westfall Thompson and Mar¬cus Wilson Jernegan, former stu¬dents of the men have collaboratedin writing two books of historicalessays.
