As its name implies, the groupis an organization interested inorienting freshman women to theYWCA, and this afternoon it willdiscuss its program for the year.As upperclass women who were ac¬tive in the freshman group last yearbut who have not indicated their in¬terest in it this year must sign newmembership cards, it is particularlyimportant for them to attend. Fresh¬man women are also invited.The music group is sponsoring a“night at the opera” next week, itwas announced yesterday. Universitywomen who are interested in goingshould leave their names in theYWCA office on the second floor ofIda Noyes before tomorrow. A laterannouncement will be made of theexact night, the opera, and the priceof tickets.The book group meets tomorrow at3:30 in the WAA room at Ida Noyesto discuss James Hilton’s work, “WeAre Not Alone.” Officials of thegroup urge members to bring theirknitting so they can keep needles andtongues clacking at the same time. The charge that there is an officialmember of the Nazi party residing inInternational House, and the admis¬sion of that charge by the person ac¬cused, topped a stormy meeting atInternational House last night.The meeting was the first of a se¬ries of round-table discussions dealingwith the foreigm policy of various na¬tions, la.st night’s being concernedwith that of Germany.The accusations made by one of thespeakers, Leslie Lipson, an English¬man, arose from a placard put up onone of the bulletin boards last week.The sign urged all tho.se interestedin the policies of New Germany anddesiring to see German movies, toget in touch with H. J. Pagels, a newmember of the House. It was signed“P.G.,” which means, jn German,“member of the house.”Point to NaziThe first two speakers at the meet¬ing were George Messmer and VolkerRoch-Weser, both Germans. Lipson,who gave the third and final talk ofthe evening, finished his address withthe irrelevant but dramatic accusa¬tion that there was a Nazi living inthe house.In the discussion which followed,Pagels took floor frankly admit¬ting that he was the “black sheep”referred to, and proceeded to defendthe Nazi foreign policy. He made thefollowing three points: first, when theconditions on which a treaty is basedchange, the whole treaty changes.Germany was wHling to make a newtreaty, but the other countries re¬fused to cooperate. Second, Germanyrefused to submit anything to arbi-ration because all the judges on in¬ternational courts were her formerenemies, and hence were biased a-gainst her. Third, he denied thatthere existed principles of interna¬tional law.“I’m glad and I’m proud that I’ma Nazi,” he declared during his talk,and received the largest round of ap¬plause of the evening.He explicitly stated that the viewshe presented were his own and notthose of official Nazi Germany. Exhibition of AbstractPainting Opens Todayin Wieboldt GalleryBy IRVING JANISFor its second exhibition of thequarter, the Renaissance Gallery ofthe University is showing the workof two abstract painters, Josef Albersand E. Misztrik De Monda. The ex¬hibit opens today and will continueuntil November 30.The work of the two artists rep¬resents to an extent two dominanttendencies in contemporary abstractpainting. Josef Albers, a product ofthe German Bauhaus, evidences atendency toward complete restrictionof technical means. His paintings areof very simple design, restricted to afew geometrical forms and pure col¬ors. In this respect he allies himselfwith a large group of modern paint¬ers best exemplified by the neo-plasti-cists.De Monda’s work, like Albers’, iscompletely non-representational. How¬ever, the former’s work is of an en¬tirely different character. De Mondaexploits all of the technical elementsof abstract painting, using brilliantcolor harmonies, original forms,(slightly reminiscent of the surreal¬ist abstract work of Miro) and inter¬esting texture effects. His works,when viewed as a whole, indicate thegreat virtuosity of the painter, andserve as a vivid contrast to the rela¬tively barren work of Albers.

Only requirement for author¬ship is registration in the Universityas a student. Freshmen, seniors, andgraduate students all have an equalchance to have their book accepted,Carey said.The meeting of the Board of Trus¬tees for revision of the constitutionhas been indefinitely postponed again.Carey indicated that there is’ hopefor a settlement some time this week,and stated that Frank Breckinridge,Trustee chairman whose trip to NewYork has been holding up settlementfor over two weeks now, just arrivedin town yesterday. The Student Partisan, campus mag-gazine supporting world labor, peace,and anti-fascist movements from aconfirmedly pro-action stand, willmake its first appearance this yearWednesday, November 17, having ap¬peared once previously last Spring.It is expected to appear as a semi¬quarterly thereafter.Headed by Mack Ro-senthal, MarkAshin and Paul Berg, Student Parti¬san defines its position as “one whichrejects those approaches to the prob¬lems of society which drives us to¬ward a centrist, fence-straddling posi¬tion half-way between extremes, orthat lifts us to the sterile heights ofOlympian impartiality.”Claiming that students must “takea clear-cut position on all issues con¬fronting them,” Partisan will be, inthe words of its editors, “opinionatedfor action.” Articles of a theoreticalnature, artistic, and literary work,will form the chief centent of themagazine.The contributing staff includesThomas Howells, Steven Stepanchev,and Harold Kaplan. The businessstaff is headed by Elizabeth Butler,Annette Ivry, and Morris Kricevsky.All persons interested in writingfor future issues of the StudentPartisan may turn their work in toFaculty Exchange No. 77, or arrangefor a talk with one of the editors. By LAURA BERGQUISTThree out of eight Nu Pi Sigmaswere conspicuous by their absencelast June convocation. Five out ofeleven Owl and Serpent bigwigs alsodidn’t attend. At least four consecu¬tive business managers of The DailyMaroon have failed to reap theirBachelor’s. These are among thefacts which have come to light in anextensive survey of activities com¬pleted for publication this week.Aside from their expenditures forfraternities, clubs and athletics.University students dug deep intotheir pockets last year to the tune of$47,473.06 to keep activities alive.Approximately 1500 students felt itworthwhile enough to ally themselveswith 40 organizations, in other wordsa third of the undergraduate bodyplanned to devote a portion of itstime, money ‘or interest to thingsother than academic.200 Rise to TopBut of these 1500, the usual selectgroup of about 200 rose to the top torun the affairs of undergraduate life,to spend anywhere from 2 to 8 hoursdaily at their activity. These were the200 who achieved local fame, whoreaped the rewards of activity lifeand under the hierarchal-appointivesystem of the University were in aposition to control the fates of thosebelow them.

The meetingmarks the first attempt by the SocialCommittee to organize the entire cam¬pus into a social entity.The delegates and the Committeewill also consider making a semi-per-manent body of the group to discussstudent social affairs. “It is for thisreason that all activities are urgedto have representatives present,” saidEckhouse. The proposed dance wouldbe organized so that each activitywould share in the profits of thedance in proportion to the number oftickets sold. Rogers, Myers PlanRevival of DefunctDormitory NewspaperEdward Myers and Will Rogers ofBurton Court announced today therevival of the long defunct dormitorypaper, ‘The Courtier.” The paper wasfirst published in 1932-33, the secondyear of the new dormitories.Howard Hudson, later Daily Marooneditor, and Robert Chapel were theorganizers. Hudson is now associateeditor of the University of ChicagoMagazine. In its second year Hud¬son and Chapel served as adviserswhile various members of the board,including Myers, acted as editors.The paper has been devi.sed to servethe interest of the purely male com¬munity which is Burton and JudsonCourts, and will be distributed freeto members of the men’s residencehalls. “We feel that the publicationwill be part of the general plan tofurther student social adjustment,”Rogers stated.A tentative staff has been formed,but men in the courts who are inter¬ested are invited to try out. Inquiriesmay be addressed to Will Rogers orEd Myers in Burton 822 and 616 re¬spectively. Gerald Eades Bentley,senior head, will serve as faculty ad¬viser.Myers has had three years’ experi¬ence on Cap and Gown, campus yearbook, and is a member of the Dra¬matic Association. He contributesregularly to a popular science maga¬zine. Rogers, a freshman, has hadexperience on The Daily Maroon andhas been active in commercial jour¬nalism and in high school newspapers.Robert Sanders ConductsIllinois Symphony TonightRobert Sanders will be guest con¬ductor at the Illinois Symphony Or¬chestra concert tonight in Mandellhall, and Winfred Stracke, baritone,will offer selections from “Die Meis-tersinger” and from “Don Giovanni.”The concert, given under the spon¬sorship of the University, will beginat 8:30.•> NaPage Two THE DAILY MAROON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 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.ActivitiesThe Maroon has insisted in the past thatthe campus social life is decrepit. Today wepresent the preliminaries of a survey to dis¬cover just what the organized phase of thatlife, activities, consists in. Activities consuniemuch money, time and energy. WTiat is theirfuture?Any historical survey shows that activitiesare changing on the campus, and changing fast.The Interfraternity committee has fallen pro¬gressively in campus repute until now office isthrust upon persons otherwise prominent inactivities instead of being sought. Traditionsdecay every year. Only every second personnow avoids stepping on the seal in the Hutch¬inson cloister. On the other hand new organiza¬tions and traditions have developed. TheChapel Union and the American Student Unionare both vigorous growths of the last twoyears. More in the conventional lines are theFilm Society and the Newsreel, one man devel¬opments which have become established in cam¬pus life.Behind these changes lies a fundamentalchange in the nature of the student body, anda progressive disintegration of the Universitycommunity. Students who come to the Uni¬versity today are far more interested in classwork than “activities” or “a good time,” theconventional interests of Joe College. They aremore and more interested in politics and worldaffairs—witness the development of the ASU.But they are also disturbed by the new imper¬sonality and individual isolation that the break¬down of the old order implies, and the new in¬terests promote. The result is the phenomenalgrowth of an organization such as the ChapelUnion, devoted to discussions and more purelysocial activities like the famous barn dances.Conventional activities too hidebound, toopolitically dominated, too pointless will die ofthemselves, indeed are dying now. But thereare other problems facing valuable activities.Time is precious in the University as it has notbeen before. The average undergraduate can¬not spend much time on extra-curricular activi¬ties and'Stay in school. Heavy activities likethe Maroon and other publications are strug¬gling with this problem. Again, money is val¬uable as it has never been on the campus be¬fore. More and more of the students are des¬perately poor. Fraternities and other expensiveundertakings are feeling this pinch severely.Any successful new organization, or reju¬venated old one will have to meet these newlimits. There is a serious question as to whetherany further exploitation of the unorganizedstudent body at large is possible than theChapel Union and ASU have already achieved.Vol. 38 NOVEMBER 9, 1937 No. 24Sailg (^aroonFOUNDED IN I»«lMember Associated Collegiate PressThe D«ilr Maroon is the official student newspaper of the Uni¬versity of Chicago, published mornings except Saturday, Sunday,and Monday during the Autumn, Winter, and Spring quarters byThe Daily Maroon Company, 6831 University avenue.

Edgar doesn’tlike the Maroon’s anti-collegiate campaign—or we thinkthat’s what he doesn’t like, for the F'aust committeefor perpetration of campus listlessncss has lapi?ed intoincoherence and nobody knows to what they object—though object they certainly do! Now Edgar is aserious student with a myopic view of the higher thingsin life, proud of the University’s intellecutal tradition.It is difficult to see why he is so intensely oppo.sed to anorganization endeavoring to rid the campus of the anti¬theses of intellectuality, unless, perhaps, he wants tojoin the Psi U’s. O, perish the thought! His attitude isinconsistent—might even indicate a split personality.But not the real Edgar; he hasn’t gone nuts—yet. Thetruth is the Edgar is kind-hearted, good-natured, easilyswayed by what he believes to be an injustice. WeTl-knowing this and also knowing the general campusfeeling is anti-organizational, a group of unscrupulouspersons have decided to use Edgar. They are Boh Up¬ton, Tommg Flgnn (who is old enough to know better),John Bonniwell, and other miscellany out of the Psi Uhouse. Besides Faust, other stooges are Allene Taskrr,Betti) Booth, Bob Waggoner, and several others who.=;enames have foi'tunately escaped us. What is agitatingthe Psi U’s is the Maroon exposure of fraud and cor¬ruption in the appointment of Blackfriars’ suj>eriors.These misled people quite seriously believe that theyare campus opinion, but haven’t the courage of theirconvictions. They approached F'aust, an independent,in one of his weak. Coffee Shop moments and convincedhim the Maroon is doing them an injustice, imploringhis help. The “village maiden,’’ these plural Mephisto-pheles have promised their Faust, is the evcrla.<tinggratitude of a campus whole-heartedly opposed to theMaroon. These hounds from hell, led by their enthralledmortal and licking their wounds, descended on theDean’s office last Tuesday and, in fashion characteri.'ticof their origin, proceeded to demonstrate their lack ofbrains and ability by loud cries and much blu.stering.Never let it be said that these hounds let their realmotives be known—rather would they hide behind acloak of impartiality and cry “Unfair” at their oppo¬nents. Never let it be said that they fight their ownbattles; rather would they run to authority, hide be¬hind stooges, and endeavor to censor their opponentrather than refute him. Never does it occur to thesepeople to examine their prejudices; rather broadcastthem loudly and then naively expect everyone to cry“Aye, aye.”How this shrewd .stupidity can effect their ends isshown by the corruption of Edgar Faust, indicatinghow such people, playmg on emotional .sympathy andobscuring their real motives, revenge for honest exposeof fraud, can convert intelligence tc their side. Theythen retire from the scene, letting misguided intelli-gence fight for stupidity, really laughing behind hisback, whose reward for his efforts will not be the“village maiden” they promised him. After the mannerof their kind, they will use him and then damn him,when, and if, he pre.sents them with succe.ss.It TakesALL KINDS OF PEOPLEThey call him “Hunt,” because most of his newfriends here can’t pronounce his name, but the son ofthe Greek department’s newest acquisition is officiallyErhard Karl Jaeger, and he plays Strauss waltzes andRussian sob-songs with equal facility on a cherishedaccordion which he brought from Germany w-hen hesailed four months ago. Following his distinguishedfather by a year, he Idft Germany a week after hisrelease from compulsory military service, and boardedthe ship unable to speak a word of English. Todayhe is enrolled as a junior in the Business school andtalks eagerly, the fluency of his English aided by ampleuse of his hands, about his home and conditions as heleft them. Asked about the phenomenal speed withwhich he mastered his new speech, he .'Sys, “There werethree beautiful American girls aboard the ‘Bremen’—they couldn’t speak German so I had to learn English.”Slender and good-looking, he is unusually quietaround the dorms, but his grave continental courtesyand his poise have undoubtedly helped him make friendsamong his hall-mates in Judson Court, and for girlswho like intellectual conversation in a good dancer, heis the ideal date. Tirades against Fa.scism are still hismost frequent topic, and as to its ultimate downfall hefeels no uncertainty. To him, the perversion of everyfundamental human impulse and emotion by the Nazileaders, and the resulting artificiality of the socialstructure will spell its doom.Someone once asked him if he was never homesick inthe strangene.ss of his new surroundings. After asilent moment he replied, “There is nothing left to behomesick for. I loved Germany once, but that Germanyis dead.” Today on theQuadranglesMEETINGS, ASU Executive Committee.

BOOKSTORE5802 Ellis AvenueTHE DAILY MAROON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1937 Page Three5th RowCenter» « *By GORDON TIGERSecond of the Theatre Guild’s offer¬ings this year is “Yes, My DarlingDaughter,’’ Mark Reed’s sprightlycomic commentary on a moderndaughter’s adaptation of the spirit ofher mother’s Greenwich Village past.The comedy, which opened at theGrand Opera House on Monday, No¬vember 1, will continue its run forthe next three weeks.The mother wdth the past is AnnWhitman Murray, who, at the timeof the play, has been settled for some20 years as the authoress wife of anultra-conventional banker. Her daugh¬ter, Ellen, recently graduated fromcollege, creates a problem by allow¬ing her mother to get wind of her])lans to spend an unhallowed week¬end with her youthful lover, DouglasHall, who has chucked a budding ar¬chitectural career in favor of a jobthat is shortly to take him to Belgiumfor two years. Ann is maternallyforbidding at first, but has little basisfor argument when confronted withthe fact that Ellen has written a sen¬ior thesis on “The Contribution ofGreenwich Village to the Cause ofFreedom in American Art and Mor¬als,’’ using her mother’s past as a.-subject of research. Reduced to coun¬seling discretion as her daughtertrips away, the harassed mother isleft with the unwelcome task of ex¬plaining things to her husband.Somewhat slow in its opening, theplay finally gathers a reasonable mo¬mentum, revels in a wealth of ludi¬crously dramatic situations, and pre¬sents some four or five momentarilycompelling characterizations. Althoughthe central situation is thoughtfulrather than farcical, the general ef¬fect of gay derision and mild sus¬pense is not marred by any undueheaviness or seriousness. The denoue¬ment fulfills every promise of a mostintriguing plot. Most graceful, how¬ever, is its avoidance of pitfalls oftenfatal to comedies of this type, name¬ly pseudo-sophistication and unsubtleexaggeration. It neither offends withlascivious suggestion nor bores withforced slapstick; it is genuinely, ifnot spectacularly, entertaining.Seldom does a play of relativelymodest pretensions have a cast ofsuch pervadingly high quality as theChicago company of “Yes, My Darl¬ing Daughter.” Agnes Doyle givesthe part of the enlightened daughteran attractively pert and lively inter¬pretation, sharing honors for theyounger set with Owen Davis, Jr.,adolescent and ingratiating as the in-ex|)erienced lover. To the well-con¬ceived characterization of the per¬force understanding mother, FlorenceReed brings her unique wealth anddiversity of theatrical experience withadmirable effect. Lawrence Gross-mith and Helen Flint, both adeptcomedians, are al.so at their best.* « *F^ollowing its current policy ofworthy revivals, the Chicago branchof the Federal Theatre presents atthe Blackstone “The Straw,” one ofEugene O’Neill’s first tragic efforts.Such a revival is unquestionably aservice. It is interesting to witnessan early stage in the development ofmajor artists, and it is probably grat¬ifying to aspiring neophytes to seethat even such a dramatic titan asO’Neill suffered most severe growingpains in his technical development.For, while this dark tale of unre¬quited love causing a girl’s abjectsurrender to the ravages of consump¬tion is rich in good theatrical effectsPhysiologists Attempt toLearn Nature of SleepOn the sixth floor of the physiologybuilding students are experimentingto discover just what sleep is. Fourrabbits, a cat, two dogs, and a pigeonare the unlucky subjects allowed tosnooze. A revolving cage preventsany slumber.

Mary Breck¬enridge is herself a pioneer in thefield of social medicine by virtue ofher self-sacrificing work in bringingmedical care to the isolated regions ofthe Kentucky hill country.Establishing a medical center inLeslie county soon after the war,Mrs. Breckenridge worked untiringlyto build up the service, which ErnestPoole publicized in his book, “Nurseson Horseback.” A large staff of vol¬unteer nurses now works from threeclinic bases to take medical aid in toremote comers of a wilderness tractof a thousand square miles, doingmuch to reduce the suffering anddeaths formerly resulting from neg¬lect. Especially have they mademountain motherhood less often mar¬tyrdom.Radio Club Filins ShowNew Uses in AviationTwo talking moving picture filmswill be shown tonight by the Uni¬versity Radio Club. The films, whichhave been furnished by the IllinoisBell Telephone Company, will beshow'n in Social Science 122 at 8 p. m.The first film is entitled “The Sea-Going Telephone,” and deals withship-to-shore communication, whilethe second, “The Flying Telephone,”is concerned with radio aids to avia¬tion. Both films should be of interestnot only to those technically inter¬ested in radio, but also to the laymanonly interested in knowing a little a-bout what goes on “behind thescenes.” An engineer will be presentto answer any questions which mayarise during the showing of thefilms.There is no admission charge.Graduate Nurses StagePublic Carnival FridayGraduate nurses of the UniversityClinics staff will hold a carnival opento the public on Friday, November 12,at 8:30 p. m., in the dining room ofthe Clinics, 950 E. 59th St. Thecarnival is being staged to providefunds for the graduate Nurse Educa¬tional Fund.A free floor show is included in theten cent admission charge. Numer¬ous “concessions,” including bunco,sleight of hand, a cousin of CharleyMcCarthy’s, and fortune telling, willbe among the entertainment featuresof the carnival.and moments of high drama, techni¬cally it fairly creaks with obvious de¬vices and labored dialogue. Indeed,the dross of maudlin sentimentalityand awkward comedy are so inextrica¬bly mingled with the pure gold ofsofne of the dramatic conceptions andcharacterizations, that the latter of¬ten lose the attention which theymerit.The production is handled credit¬ably by a large and well directedcast. Outstanding performers areBeverly Younger as the protagonist,Don Koehler as the incredibly denseobject of her affections and GlenBeveridge as her unfeeling father. (Continued from Page 1)who have been outstanding in out¬side activities may not get the bestjobs but they do have a wider rangeof opportunities in securing positions.The type of activity makes littledifference, it is sufficient that thestudent has risen to the top of hisparticular group.

But theplacement bureau also makes a dis¬tinction between recommending realleaders and those who have achievedtheir high place in the sun throughpolitical pull, “the difference betweeneal leaders and merely head man,”a.s John C.

A new groupof students, uninterested in the tra¬ditional activities, and plans for anew type of activity to fit that stu¬dent have been evolving while intooblivion have drifted those who failedto adapt themselves to changingconditions. These are the groups whoclasp tight to their bosoms the statusquo, who keep their organizationssterile through racial and social dis¬crimination and political cat fights.These are the factions which yowlmost loudly that college life is dis-Graduate StudentsOrganize Group forProgressive ActionNewest organization on campus isa Progressive Club, started by sev¬eral members of the Graduate Politi¬cal Science Club. Aiming to propa¬gate progressive attitudes on practi¬cal problems, it was organized at ameeting last Thursday night.Bill Cooper is president of the neworganization, while Thomas Leonardas vice-president, Floris Rottersmanas secretary and Bill Speck as treas¬urer complete the executive roster.In forming a constitution, thegroup .stated: “As distinct from thereactionaries, a progressive is dis¬satisfied with mere drifting. As dis¬tinct from the wild-eyed brand of rad¬icals, the progressive does not seekto provoke changes before public opin¬ion is ready for them.” The clubwill seek to determine democraticallythose policies which progressive mind¬ed people are willing to promote andto launch a program for definite poli¬tical action.Anyone interested in participatingin the activities of the club should getin touch with the secretary, FlorisRotterman, who may be reached atInternational House.“Voice from Grandstand’’Also Speaks on FacultyBetter known as the writer of“Voice From the Grandstands” andas a dramatic critic for the DailyNews, Lloyd Lewis is also a lecturerat the University College. He wasadded to the History department atthe start of the Autumn quarter.Besides writing a history of thecity of Chicago, Lewis has publishedseveral books dealing with the CivilWar. His course, which discusses thewar, is entitled “Civil War and ItsAntecedent West of the Mississippi.”He is considered by many to be theleading authority in the country onthe subject. appearing and that activities aredoomed, because their particularclique is becoming more and morethe target for criticism and expose.They style themselves the typicalstudents of the University, not realiz¬ing that they compose but a smallfraction of undergraduate life.Ten years ago 30 fraternities flour¬ished on campus, today 17 strugglefitfully to survive. And yet while apurely social going group fizzles out,an organization like Chapel Unionsprouts up overnight into tremen¬dous success.ASU ImportantThough regarded as a blot on theactivity horizon by the “rah rah”lads, the ASU with its avid interestin current affairs and social problemshas assumed a definite and importantplace in the campus calendar. Unique is the hands-off policywhich the University maintains inregards to extra-curriculars.

Wenow sometimes find the blind andpromiscuous use of statistical meth¬ods, the accumulation of information,often inaccurate, without any clearconception of what the observation isto effect.Already there is a movement afootamong the faculty members of theSocial Science division to recover orcreate a full awareness of what theyare doing, to set up an adequateframew'ork for their researches andtheir teachings. At the inaugurationof the New Plan there was a generalrethinking of departmental objectivesand relationships to one another andthe general body of knowledge.Beginning last year the SocialScience division presented a series oflectures on methods and subject-mat¬ter of social science. Whether youagree with the conclusions reachedor not, you must admit that the ef¬fort to formulate them is highlydesirable.The effort is more genei’al thanthat. Every department has recentlybeen asked to reconsider once againits program, requirements, and in¬dividual courses in the light of theobjectives of the particular depart¬ment of its division, and of the Uni¬versity. This is one of the techniquesupon w’hich we must rely to keep theUniversity moving forward.Another force often overlookedworking toward the improvement ofour educational work is the Board ofExaminers. The Board has a part inpreparing a great number of the ex¬aminations of the University, includ¬ing some of the Bachelor’s. Thismeans that the teaching staff dis¬cusses with the examining staff theaims and content of the courses. Inmy days at Yale nobody could everknow what I taught my students,since I prepared my own examina¬tions and awarded my own grades.The arrangement here reduces theisolation of the teacher without inter¬fering with his autonomy.PaternalismAgainst GrainAs for the Maroon’s agitation forUniversity coddling of student socialrelations, I am very skeptical. Extra¬curricular activities must be spon¬taneous if they are to succeed. TheUniversity may be asked to providethe facilities necessary for whatevergroups form of themselves. Any¬thing further might find the Uni¬versity supporting a paper organiza¬tion. Anything as paternalistic as theMaroon proposal would go much a-gainst the grain with me.But most emphatically before any¬thing is done by the University, theremust be a real demand for a specificprogram. The Mai'oon’s immediatetask is not to complain of the admin¬istration but to build up a definitecampus backing for a specific pro¬gram. It seems that at last the readingplacement tests taken during Fresh¬man week fulfil a function other thanfill space, for comprehension of Aris¬totle is practically impossible with¬out a real knowledge of how to read,and to that end the University thisyear inaugurates, on something be¬sides an experimental basis, remedialreading classes for those studentswho fail on the freshman tests.Rogers Organizes ClassesUnder the leadership of MaurineV. Rogers, Ph.D. from the Universityof Iowa, brought here for the expresspurpose of organizing and directingthe classes, room 7 of the GraduateEducation building sees students withevery difficulty—oral, visual, or incomprehension—enter for correction.Case histories are compiled with asui’vey of surroundings, background,type of literature read, and numberof elementary school changes, visionis checked, and then the real testingof the student begins.One of the most novel of thesetests, though not a particularlyfundamental one, is the device forphotographing eye-movements b ywhich Dr. G. T. Buswell, professor ofEducational Psychology, and his as¬sistant A. Larson, have made theirdepartment one of the best known inthe country. A beam of light is re¬flected from the cornea of each eyethrough the lenses of a camera to amoving film. The resulting moving-picture shows fixations of the eye to1-30 of a second, and length and di¬rection of every eye-movement. Whenthe trouble is shown to lie in thisdirection, eye-movements are trainedby a series of simple reading exer¬cises, and by more motion pictures, inwhich the length of line which shouldbe taken in at a glance is speciallylighted. Beyond this, exercises for im¬proving comprehension, developmentof main ideas, and skill in outliningand summarizing comprise the great¬er part of the training.Facilities LimitedAt present the facilities of the de¬partment are not sufficient to includeany but those students who do mostpoorly on the placement examina¬tions. The administration hopes laterto enlarge the course so that even theaverage student may improve his ef¬ficiency by his training. Lovett Meets DeadSon’s War FriendRobert Morss Lovett, professoremeritus of English at the University,and vice-president of the AmericanLeague Aginst War and Fascism,spoke last week in Boston before aspecial commission investigating Com¬munistic, Fascistic, and Naziistic ac¬tivities in the United States.During a brief recess, James I.Rose, member of the committee, ap¬proached Lovett and asked if he knewa Bob Lovett, who was killed withthe American forces at Chateau-Thierry in 1918. “He was my son,”Lovett replied.Commissioner Rose served with theboy in the 26th division, and hadbeen with him in the hours before hedied.START ENJOYING-STOP DOUBTING-YOU ALSO WILL RECOMMEND SPECIAL!

Athletic competition,properly conducted, is the most val¬uable physical experience a highschool or college boy can have.“And intercollegiate or interschol-;istic exeperience is very likely tocontribute in a more worthwhile wayto the life of a boy than is experiencein intramural athletics. But the fund¬amental principle back of an athleticpolicy must be that the welfare ofthe athletes outweighs all other con¬siderations.Because the athletic department ]operates on a fixed budget, indepen¬dent of gate receipts, it is able to pre¬vent commercial interests influencingathletic policy, particularly in sched-1ule making, Metcalf claimed. Sup- ^ port of the athletic department onthe same basis as that of the Englishdepartment, he pointed out, can bejustified only if the athletic programis an educational one.“As to the future, we plan at Chi¬cago to lighten our football schedulefrom five or six ‘big’ games to four;we plan to give special promotion andsupport for those sports which aredesirable adult recreations, such astennis, handball, swimming, and toprovide, a greater number of individ¬uals with experience in intercolleg¬iate competition by increasing thesize of teams in some of the individ¬ual sports, through arrangementsfor several intercollegiate teams insome sports, and by sponsoringteams in some additional sports, suchas handball and racquets.”Wilhelmy, ProspectivePhysics Assistant, DiesErnest Wilhelmy, young Germanphysicist who was to have come tothe campus next January as a re¬search assistant in the department ofPhysics, died recently at his home inHeidelberg, Germany, where he heldan appointment at the Kaiser Wil¬helm Institute. His death was causedby meningitis.Wilhelmy had studied at the Uni¬versity during 19.34 and 1935 as ainternational fellow from the Rocke- Move Heaven and Earth to Get“Bertha” to Ann Arbor Game“The merry-go-round broke down.”All the Chicago rooters at the Michi¬gan game saw the antics of Big Ber¬tha, the University’s mammoth drumbetween the halves. But few realizedthe trials and tribulations that hertenders were subjected to in order togive the football fans a good show.At a quarter to six Saturday morn¬ing, with the sun not yet risen out ofa cold, gray sky, a wierd processionleft the west stands at Stagg fieldon its way to the railroad station at63rd and Wentworth. A truck, loadedwith band equipment, towed a hugedrum followed by two panting stu¬dents all the way along the barestreets over I’ough pavements, dodg¬ing an occasional car.Once at the station, there was theserious problem of getting Bertha onher special box car, one of three inthe country with doors large enoughto permit her entrance. The band-men, already weary from their longrun, hoisted her from her “dolly,” theheavy carriage that she rides on, andslowly and painfully forced her onthe car. She lay flat on the floor,leaving a bare six jnches on eitherside of the car.At the end of the long trip, thedrum was hauled out of her berth,and pushed up the steep hill to thefeller Foundation and had gainedmany acquaintances and friends a-mong both students and faculty dur¬ing his stay at International House. top of the Michigan stadium. Shewas too big to go through the tun¬nel leading to the bowl, so she washoisted over the wall, again off hercarriage, and carried down over rowsand rows of seats, since she wouldn’tfit in the aisles. The drum-tenders,once again exhausted, started worry¬ing about how they were going tocarry Bertha up again, but theirminds were soon diverted by thegame. They were recalled to theirtasks, however, when Boy Scouts,stationed in the stands to help pre¬serve order, started using bean-shooters on her tender skin.At the end of the game, withbodies and spirits already battered,her guards bravely started the longtrek up the stadium. The steps hadgrown far longer, and they dared notstop to rest, for gravity was do¬ing its best to pull her down. A fewmen fell by the way, but at lengthshe reached the top, and set upfunereal march, goaded on by thejeers of happy Michigan rooters,down the hill to the train.Thus, Bertha, the dejected symbolof a weary band, was again loadedon the train, and began her long triphome. When at last she was rolledinto her garage, it was a disgustedgang of drum-tenders who vowedthat never again would they breaktheir backs or risk their necks forthe welfare of the band, its director,or, more especially, the unfeelingdrum.

In the giant foot¬ball hearts of everyone of those boysis a remarkable confidence in theteam’s ability to come through ontop . . .We call this loss heartbreaking andthat’s exactly what we mean ... Vic¬tory was in sight, and victory is ac¬tually desired more than anythingelse in the world for several rea¬sons. It’s fun to play the game, butit’s real fun to win . . . There’s acertain amount of the “Do or die fordear old Alma Mater” feeling on ev¬ery club, and the Maroons are nodifferent . . . There’s the opportunityto show to fans and critics that awinning team can be developed fromamateurs . . . And finally there is akeen desire to prove to the studentsthat football is worthwhile to watchespecially when their own school isparticipating. The team has the feel¬ing that it is looked upon with con¬tempt by the student body and thatattitude needs revision.The eleven has proved itself quitecapable of playing interesting foot¬ball many times during this disas¬trous season and they have shownthat there are a dozen or so men thatare on a par with any team in theconference.

Chet Powell ac¬complished this to continue his pres¬tige as the foremost Chicago harrier.In every meet this season he has ledhis team mates over the three milecourse.Ken Spon.sel was next high amongthe Midway tracksters finishing inseventh position and closely followedby Jack Bonniwell.

Both tallies were ac¬quired by way of air with SollieSherman tossing and Captain BobFitzgerald and Bob Wasem on thereceiving ends. Ed Valorz attemptedplace kick, after both touchdowns butfailed to add the valuable extra pointon either occasion.Michigan’s play was mediocrethroughout the contest although it proved good enough to eke out avictory.
