Conservatives Elect Ruthenburg,Awarding BA at End of Two Years I Webhe Co-Chairmen of PartySays Move Would ClarifyEducational Administra¬tion.George A. Works, Dean of Stu¬dents, speaking in Social Science 122yesterday at 3:30, presented argu¬ments for awarding the Bachelor’sdegree at the end of the junior col¬lege period and said that such action. . would serve as a means ofclarifying the relationship amongjunior colleges, colleges and universi¬ties . .The present relationship is grow¬ing more confused, the dean stated,due to the rapid development of thejunior college and the significancethe Master’s degree is beginning toassume.Benefit to Universitieswarding of the degree at the endof the junior college period wouldaid in clearing this confusion andprove of ultimate benefit to univer¬sities.Works’ lecture yesterday was oneof a Social Science series this quar¬ter. His talk was originally scheduledfor November 2.The dean emphasized the factthat the junior college enrollmenthas increased much more than enroll¬ment in any other type of institutionof higher learning.In view of this, W’orks raised twoquestions: “Would it not be well for |the University of Chicago to lead amovement in university circles towardthe award of the Bachelor’s degreeat the end of the junior college pe¬riod? If the preceding proposal isconsidered unwise, would it not bewi.se for the University of Chicagoto discontinue its program of Collegework except on an experimental basisand offer its first degree at theMaster’s level?’’Objection to ChangeHe agreed that the greatest ob¬jection to the proposed change in theawarding of a Bachelor’s degreewould be its effect on colleges ofliberal arts which are not a part ofa university, but contended that edu¬cational changes are inevitable andthat institutions must respond tothem."The first of the two most markedbreaks in the .scheme of higher edu¬cation is at the end of the period ofgeneral education and the beginning jof specialization which by general iacceptance in this country comes atthe end of the junior college period,’’he stated.(Continued on page 2) Professor Develops Method Providing MoreEfficient Therapy for Addison’s DiseaseBy IRVING JANISIt was revealed today that a veryimportant contribution to the field ofendocrinology has been made by R.J. Schachter of the department ofPhysiology. For four years, Schach¬ter has been working on the problemof the stabilization of adrenal-corti¬cal extract, known popularly as cortin.He has succeeded in developing amethod of preparing the extract sothat it is able to retain its potencyfor at least 18 months, whereas for¬merly the extracts wduld deterioratein two or three weeks.One of the most important conse¬quences of Schachter’s work shouldbe a more efficient therapy for Addi¬son's disease. This disease, first des¬cribed in 1849, is the result of des¬truction of adrenal cortex and ischaracterized by muscular weakne.ss,low blood pressure and a peculiar col¬oring of the skin called bronzing.Until a few years ago, when a num¬ber of workers discovered a methodof preparing extracts of adrenal cor¬tical tissue which when injected wouldalleviate the symptoms, there was nosucces.<;ful method of treating thedisease. Schachter’s contributionCouncil AdoptsNew FraternityRushing Period makes it possible to produce the ex¬tract more efficiently and to keep theextract on hand in case of emergency.Surgical RemovalBy surgical removal of the adrenalglands in animals,' most of the symp-tons of Addison’s disease are producedand death ensues within five days.

The[ perfect expression of the decline ofEurope he finds in Fascism, charac¬terizing it as a loss of faith in reasonand truth, a refuge from reality.Paralleling it in the democratic coun¬tries is a blindness and paralysis thatkeeps those who still advocate free¬dom from taking action.“The rise of Fascist aggressioncould be stopped by a collective eco¬nomic boycott,” Schuman stated.

Experience TeachesFlook About StairsThe WPA-flavored story of IdaNoyes’ front steps still remains anenigma. At the beginning of thequarter, Buildings and Grounds work¬men appeared, ripped out the oldflight which slightly sagged in themiddle, intalled a chic new flight offlagstones. Just when the clubhouseenthusiasts began to grow fond offlagstones, B and G workmen againappeared, tore out the new flight,dug deep into the bill, threw upwooden ramps, installed stairs justlike the original ones.Rumor has it that flagstones justweren’t Gothic as B and G discov¬ered late to their sorrow. “We wouldrather not discuss it,” murmured aB and G-er with embarrassment.Said Lyman R. Flook, “I refuse togive the facts to anyone other thanWilliam McNeill. Maroon reportersdistort the facts.” Ethiopia. France, at the time whenGermany was still weak, could easilyhave ended the remilitarization ofthe Rhineland, and working togethertoday, France, Russia, England, andthe United States, could block Japan.Risks Involved“However,” he continued, “thereare risks involved that must be ac¬cepted as necessary, but only to pre¬vent the certainty that if nothing isdone, Europe will soon be involved inanother World War. It is only amatter of time now until Germanyattacks Czechoslovakia, unless nationsorganize to hold Fascist barbarism incheck.”Schuman pointed out that collect¬ive .security was not a new proposal.“Twenty years ago,” he said “therewas a real enthusiasm for reallyputting force behind hopes for inter¬national peace. Today, only willing¬ness to assume the responsibilitiesof collective action against allwho break the peace will save Eur¬ope from the doom which inactivitywill bring it.”YWCA Begins Drivefor Membership TodayWith “Y Don’t You Join the Y” asits theme, the Membership Group ofthe YWCA swings into action todayon the first lap of its three-day mem¬bership drive.Tables will bo stationed in Cobb,Kent, Harper, Mandel, and IdaNoyes from 11 to 2:30 today, to¬morrow, and Friday, for the conven¬ience of those who wish to turn intheir signed membership cards.Members of former years as well asnew members must turn in thesecards, officials of the MembershipCommittee warned.Rosters in CampaignClever and gaily-colored postersmade by Betty Washburn, BettyTuttle, Cordelia Lochman, MarjorieGintz. and Lois Klippel, members ofthe Publicity Group, form an integralpart of the campaign.

Reform of Blackfriars.The University and NegroesThe University is at once a great education¬al institution and a great, business enterprise.One of the chief forms of University invest¬ment is real estate ownership, and real estateownership involves collision wdth the housingproblem presented by the Black Belt.The University has bought land around thecampus with the express purpose of keepingthe area around the University of a sort inwhich the faculty and students w^ould be will¬ing to live. This is a necessity if the Universityis to remain a great educational institution.The prejudices of people are such that ne¬groes and w’hites wdll not live together. Fur¬ther, areas into w'hich negroes have moved getrun dowm. This is a fact, due not to the vicious¬ness of negroes but to the low' income of manynegroes and unfair exploitation of negro ten¬ants by landlords.Faced by such a situation, what must theUniversity do? To maintain its greatness, ne¬groes must be excluded from the districtaround the campus. This has been done by re¬strictive agreements, engineered usually byneighborhood property owmers’ associations ofone sort or another- The University is a mem¬ber of many of these organizations, and pre¬sumably has passively at least approved segre¬gation agreements.Any proper sense of values will condone thisaction. The University business office has amuch deeper and more important obligation tothe University community than to the negrocommunity of the city, however depressed itmay be. Segregation and restrictive agree¬ments are a necessity, given the social preju¬dice that exists.It is surely not distortion to say that negroexpansion in other areas than those around theUniversity would have less undesirable conse¬quences. The University has a unique value,and negro expansion in this area w'ould hurt it.Expansion of the Black Belt, according to thereports of competent sociologists, is an imme¬diate necessity. But the expansion should bein a sector other than that surrounding thecampus.But the University would be going far fromits legitimate role if it brought pressure to bearagainst negro housing improvements, as ThePeople’s Press has surmised- The Universityhas a responsibility tow'ard the city of whichit is a part, and should lend its approval and atleast its moral support to projects for civicimprovement such as the federal housing proj¬ect at 39th street. Active use of Universitycapital to improve negro housing would be jus¬tified only on its economic returns, returns thatare not adequate to attract private capital. TheUniversity is obligated only to lend its passivesupport to housing improvement for negroes.Vol. 38 DECEMBER 1, 1937 No. 35®l{e ^atlg ^ilaruouFOUNDED IN 1901Member Associated Collegiate PressThe Daily 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, B831 University avenue.

His eyes are as the rest of him—friendly,genial, genuine, natural. He wore a warm colored shirtover his stocky frame, a rough tweed coat and vest, andgray slacks. There is only a trace of Kentucky twangin his speaking voice.He paints his Kentucky hills, not for profit but be¬cause he loves the earth.In the early days of the automobile he invented arear stop light. He put a lantern inside a box squirreltrap, ran a rope from the sliding box door to the driv¬er’s seat. Pull the rope, lift the door, see the light.He is a craftsman because no dulcimer anyone elsemade would stand the necessary traveling he required,would give enough tone to fill a concert hall. He studiedStradivarius and Amati, applied modern physics, andbuilt three instruments which he uses today.He is a musician because he loves his work.“I’ve collected over a thousand songs, and bits ofsongs,” he says. “And every one is living music. Livingtoday. Folk songs aren’t history—they are developingright now.“‘Folks down in the mountains like to sing. They’llget hold of a song and add or change a line where theydon’t remember the way they heard it. That’s how theseballads and fragments grow.”Since he was fifteen and sang for political gather¬ings he has been listening and learning and recording.He is now 46, and still listening and collecting andsinging.“How do I get hold of the songs ? For the last fewyears it’s been with the help of radio.”Then he told the story of the Kentucky “ListeningPosts.”Scattered about in the back hills and valleys ofEastern Kentucky, in 25 remote settlements, are bat¬tery-operated radios donated by public spirited corpora¬tions. One town boasts a dozen inhabitants, anotherhundreds.From the transmitter at the University of Kentuckyhe talks things over with the.se townspeople, taking onecommunity a week during the summer.Two women, paid by the NYA, travel about, gathernames and problems and songs from each settlement.This information is relayed in advance by mail, how¬ever slow and circuitous, to John Niles.On Elmsford’s night the folk gather about theradio, listen to a friendly man far, far away talk tothem about themselves. About Hank’s back ache, andhow to grow acorns on a steep hill. And they all joinin singing songs they know.Other towns listen too, of course. Other towns learnthe songs.John Niles leaned across the table. “In one place wecalmed a feud,” he said happily.“There were two clans in the town, the Bolens, andthe Bolyns. When they’d meet they’d shoot, and I’m notfooling. For two weeks the advance girl lived in thattown, gathering names and troubles and songs fromeach side.”When the night of the program approached thingswere a little uncertain. The radio was in the post-office—owned by a Bolen.Just before the hour a crowd of Bolyns shuffled intothe room, held their guns in their laps, and waited forsomething to start.Two hundred miles away John Niles sat before amicrophone with a dulcimer on his lap. The man in thecontrol booth dropped his hand, the program began.Niles sounded the dulcimer, and sang a song fam¬iliar to Bolen and Bolyn alike. He urged ever.vone tojoin.Back in the post office a crowd of overalled men andfull skirted women coughed, shuffled their feet—andstarted to sing.“Of course it didn’t stop the feud permanently, butit held it up for a few days,” said John Niles.It TakesALL KINDS OF PEOPLEHe’s a very swell .-sorta guy, this secietary-trea.'-^urerof the University’.^ .\lumni Council.

Whathe is thinking while he is speaking or smiling remainsa mystery.Despite his eagerness to assist in solving problemsand answering questions, one can never be quite cer¬tain whether one is meant to believe, literally, all thatone hears. This difficulty of deciding whether CharltonT. is sarcastic or whether his unique eyebrows play himfalse is bewildering. Perhaps that is why he has con¬tinued to handle alumni complaints and congrats withthe tact and subtlety neces.sary to maintain former stu¬dents’ interest in the University.If all University alumni were a.s loyal in their sup¬port of the University as Beck is in his support of thealumni, there would be no dissenting opinions on cam¬pus activities and policies. “Our alumni aren’t the rah-rah type,” grinned Beck. “They prefer our President’sbooks on education to the sports columns, but never¬theless they are a fine combination—they back up pure¬ly academic interests with the necessary cold cash!” Schachter- STUDENTS GO TO COUNCIL(Continued from page 1)which takes about two weeks, in¬volves the use of fat solvents, alcoholand benzol. Raw adrenal glands ofcows are secured from the stock-yards. At the laboratory they arefirst reduced to a finely divided state(ground up) and mixed with alcohol.Following this, the mixture is placedin an automatic shaker for 24 hours.After this thorough shaking, the mix¬ture is treated again and again withvarious fat solvents until a relativedegree of purification is obtained.Main ProblemThe main problem in the process isto remove the toxic elements whichare present in the extract along withthe substances essential for life. Thepresence of the former is tested byinjecting the extract under the skinof healthy rats and observing whetheror not the mixture produces harmfuleffects. The effectiveness of the finalproduct is tested by injecting it intothe animals whose adrenals have beenremoved.Dean Works-(Continued from page t)“The second occurs at the transi¬tion fi'om the mastery of a relativelyrestricted field of knowledge to theattempt on the part of the studentto demonstrate his ability to makean independent contribution to know¬ledge in the special field.

Lettersto the EditorEditor,The Daily Maroon:In a news article in your issueTuesday, November 23, 1937, cap¬tioned “Residents Give View on PanArabian Question,” there were sev¬eral misstatements of fact. Mr.James Wellard, who was referred toin the article as “International Househead,” denies that he is the head ofInternational House or that he hasever so represented himself. I agreewith both his denials.Groups in HospitalHold Benefit forCrippled Children Second, in that article you statethat “Prince did not present theZionist viewpoint as announced be¬cause James Wellard, Internationalhouse head, received complaintsfrom Arab members asking thatPrince should not bring up thispoint.” Arab members made no repre¬sentations whatever to Mr. Wellardconcerning the participation by Mr.Prince in the progi’am.Third, Mr. Prince was not promis¬ed a Palestinian discussion.Fourth, you state further that “inthe International House Quarterlythere will appear a discussion on thesubject from Arab and Zionist view¬points.” That is, to say the least,premature. Materials submitted forthe next issue of the Quarterly havenot yet even been passed on by theeditorial board.And do you mind a suggestion thatyour copy be a little bit more care¬fully proof-read?. I think I knowwhat you meant by your last para¬graph, but I am not sui’e.Occupational therapy departmentsof Billings hospital and the Home forDestitute Crippled Children are jointsponsors of a Christmas bazaar to¬morrow from 10 to 6 in the Child¬ren’s Play Room of the Home, at thecorner of 59th and Ellis. Tea will beserved from 2 to 5:30.Work done by children in theHome and by adult patients at Bil¬lings will be sold. Handicrafts donein the occupational therapy depart¬ment include leather work, dolls, andweaving, and are made by all pa¬tients strong enough to do the work.Mi.ss Lillian Spencer, director ofOccupational Therapy in the Univer¬sity Clinics, stated that the moneyreceived will be used to buy newmaterials for next year’s work. Thereare three paid workers in the de¬partment, the rest of the staff beingmade up of volunteer students fromthe University. Yours very sincerely,Ernest B. Price,Director.{We sinccrehj apologize for mis¬representing Mr. Wellard as ‘‘head"of International house. His exacttitle is that of “head of educationalactivities.'*The statement that Arabs com.plained may have been misinterpretedas Mr. Prince, our informant, nowstates he said “some people" and didnot designate any group.Upon checking with Prince, thestatement of a promise of a Pale-stiniayi discus.sion has been verified.The Maroon is merely recordingPrince’s statement.) —Ed,HANLEY’SBUFFETS T1512 EAST 5Sth11 you wont collog* longa—li you want “Collegiate" Atmosphere—If you want to see your friends—You are ossured of such an evening atHANLEY’SOVER FORTY YEARS OF CONGENIALSERVICE YOUR NEARESTSERVICE STATIONWarner Bros.AVALON79TH & STONY ISLANDFIRST SOUTH SIDE SHOWING STARTSFRIDAY, DEC. 3d• For 1 Full Week •Mr. PAUL MUNIThe Life of EmileZOLAGALE SONDBRGAAROJOSEPH SCHILDRRAUTGloria HoMoa • Doatid CrUpillliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilirtcPresented by Warner Bros.ALSOJACK OAKIE - IDA LUPINO"HGHT FOR YOUR LADY" We take a personalInterest in yourCarWINTERIS HERE!
