The purpose of the meet¬ing is to explain the function of theStudent Publicity Board and to ar¬range interviews for position-seekers.The organization makes contactswith outstanding high school seniorsinterested in the Univeraity, and theBoard feels that it occupies a uniqueposition in this respect, in that itfurnishes a medium for transmittinginformation about the Universitycoming from the students ratherthan from the administration, an an¬gle which it characterizes as a “moreinformal and compelling way of con¬tact.”Leaders’ DayIt is customary for the group tohold a “Leaders’ Day,” at which highschool seniors are conducted aroundthe campus. Last year, potentialfreshmen were entertained at aBlackfriars’ show and, on ScholarshipDay, were conducted on tours of theUniversity.Independent and non-affiliated menand women are urged to attend themeeting this afternoon as well asfraternity men and club women, ac¬cording to a statement made lastnight by officials of the Board. Ofimmediate importance is the gather¬ing of names of outstanding highschool seniors during the Christmasholidays. Informative literature willthen lx* sent by the University tothose whose names were secured dur¬ing the holidays.Contribute NamesStudents who are not members ofthe Student Publicity Board are alsourged to contribute names of out¬standing prospective University stu¬dents to the organization in order tofacilitate the securing of a high-grade freshman class next year.Last year’s board was headed byKeith Parsons of the Student Promo¬tion office. His absence from the Uni¬versity this year has put the re¬sponsibility of organization and lead¬ership in the hands of students.Harry Snodgress, chairman of theFreshman Orientation Committee isheading the Board at present.Science StudentsUse Observatoryto Study StarsDuring the rest of this quarter,students in the Physical Science Gen¬eral Course are offered the use ofthe observatory on top Ryerson Lab¬oratory at the following hours, sub¬ject to clear skies: Mondays andTuesdays, 7 to 8, Wednesdays andThursdays, 8 to 9. An instructor orgraduate student in the Physical Sci¬ences is always in attendance.Due to the demand, it has beennecessary to set a quota each eveningof 40 persons. Students may regis¬ter in Elckhart, following lectures.The six and one-half inch telescopehas a maximum power of about 600,which in effect would bring the moonthat many times nearer, to an ap¬parent distance of less than 500 miles.Observations on binary stars and ma¬jor constellations may be made withthe instrument.Several exhibits from the Physicsmuseum have been set in Ryerson,near the observatory.Mirror Issues Call forSkits, Songs, LyricsInterested in getting new talentand ideas for its next presentation.Mirror Board issued a call yesterdayfor contributions in the form of skits,songs, and lyrics for its 13th annualshow, to be given March 4 and 6,1938 in Mandel hall.All students interested in writingfor Mirror are to turn in their ma¬terial to Mary Paul Rix at theDramatic Association office.

The last twosteps would be a perfection of educa¬tional scheme of organization andimproved methods of teacher train¬ing.The article is introductory in a se¬ries of four, the remaining three ofwhich will appear in future issuesof the magazine.

Professor Doddhas completed several books dealingwith the country and its outstandingpersonalities. His present book car¬ries the history of the Old South fromthe first years of English settlementto the end of the 17th century.Interest in SouthAmbassador Dodd’s interest in theSouth is evidenced by the fact thatone of his first works was entitled“Statesmen of the Old South.” Itwas completed a few years after hisarrival at Chicago. At present he isplanning succeeding books which willcarry forth the story of that sectionof the country.“Struggles for Democracy” tracesthe early years of colonization ofthree important colonies, Virginia,Maryland, and the Carolinas.

Sometimes Universityapologists have been contented to take a backseat to fair Harvard, but more often than notthey have proudly claimed the first place inAmerican scholarship.But the University is not accustomed to be¬ing taken at its own valuation in the popularpress. Instead, in the popular mind, its repu¬tation for radicalism overshadows all else, andall the students are thought a little queer.But during the past two weeks the Univer¬sity has appeared in Fortune and in Life, as agreat institution of learning, and PresidentHutchins has made the Saturday Evening Post,no mean feat for an educational theorist. To theuninitiated the sudden burst of laudation mustbe mysterious. To those on the inside, the newpublicity simply means that Benton is comingthrough.The methods of the advertising magnate re¬main secret. Some suspect he uses the threatof his advertising power. Others believe thathis personal connections and suavity put himover. However he does it. President Hutchins’classmate has shown some of the powers thatmade his first million.I-F VACUITYThe Interfraternity Committee surprised itscollective self by its recent boldness in actuallyenforcing the mildest of the penalties for illegalrushing, publicity in the Maroon. When thecommittee met there was a general sense ofawe at w'hat was about to be done, a sense ofthe dreadful recklessness of actually doingsomething about illegal rushing.To be sure it is a departure for an I-F com¬mittee to do more than leave a fine legal docu¬ment for successors to remodel. But this year’sversion of the code is so innocuous as to makethe departure of little significance. Instead thecommittee has hewed to the traditional linewith a slavish reverence for tradition. Lastspring every member said that measures forpromoting interfraternity and fraternities en¬couraged to give intellectual pursuits due place.So far the committee has done nothing.But the trouble lies not only w'ith the com-Vol. 38 DECEMBER 7, 1937 No. 38^ailg ^aroonFOUNDED IN 1901Member Associated Collegiate PressThe Daily Maroon is the official student newspaper of the Uni¬versity of ChicaKO, published morninirs except Saturday, Sunday,and Monday during the Autumn, Winter, and Spring quarters byThe Daily Maroon Company, 6831 University avenue.

It lies with the insurmountable lethargyof the fraternity men, at least as representedby their delegates. Nobody has any ideas forthe fraternity system.

We are dis¬appointed—we were willing to .sacrifice our new blacknet stockings for a glimpse of Jack Homs swinging onthe trees between Kent and Cobb with Joanna Taylortucked neatly under one arm.Speaking of Cobb—there is a chap around here whoclaims that for ten dollars he will walk from Cobb tothe Coffee Shop at noon with a swastika on his arm.A relief it is to hear of someone with the courage ofhis convictions—at ten bucks per conviction. Mary JaneStevenson will do it for five dollars but that is because.she has lost her bank book and without it the Bursar’sOffice won’t believe she’s Mary Jane Steven.son.

Shewon two cases of beer, one of which she gave to C.Sharpless Hickman as compensation. The other casehas been disposed of in the accepted manner. NedRo.senheim also ran. Ned went out on the first word—Cincinnati—which he spelled with one n and two t’s,and he went out on the first word in the second roundwhen he was threatened w'ith “impresario” which hespelled with two “s’s.” After the broadcast Ned re¬ceived a telegram from his uncle in Winnetka askinghow did he expect to become a lawyer if he didn’t knowhow to spell?

B. Shaw’s “The Devil’s Disciple”at the Great Northern.• * •Ibsen’s play glories in the “four-star” cast of Ruth Gordon, DennisKing, Paul Lukas, and Sam Jaffe,and much was made of its moderniza¬tion at the hands of Thornton Wilder.The adaptation does not depart strik¬ingly from the original, and even thedialogue, while subtly manipulatedto make for greater acting fluency,retains some of the quaintness of.\rchor’s earlier, more literal transla¬tion.The production is well handled andrefrains frony drawing attention tothe stars as such. Sam Jaffe, in themost impressive work of the evening,keeps the part of the semi-villain,Krogstad, from the pitfalls of melo¬drama, and Paul Lukas is the veryembodiment of the suavely macabrefigure of Dr. Rank. Ruth Gordon’sconception of Nora is true indeed,and, in the climactic .scene in whichthe childlike wife faces facts andleaves her husband, shows remark¬able psychological insight. Here,Nora, even as Ibsen imagined her, re¬mains the same immature entity thather environment has made her, evenwhile seeing things clearly for thefirst time. But, except in this scene,.Miss Gordon does not entirely hidetheatrical technique with true acting.It is largely a superfluity of gesturewhich keeps her from attaining the‘art that hides art.”« • « Symphony Friday Marks Sixth jAnniversary of University Group \When Carl Bricken steps before theUniversity symphony orchestra onFriday evening to conduct the Au¬tumn quarter concert, it will markthe sixth anniversary of the foundingof the group. At that time Brickencalled together any students interest¬ed in becoming a member of such anorchestra, and within two months re¬hearsals started in preparation forthe first concert.The first concert, given in Decem¬ber, established the orchestra as apermanent element in the Univer¬sity’s music program, and since thattime the regular quarterly concert ofthe Symphony orchestra have beenUniversity features.

Similarly, the stock ro¬mantic heroine becomes an insuffer¬able bore to both men, and theheroic General Burgoyne is presentedin simple terms as the chief sourceof witty dialogue.The production recognizes thenecessity of bravura technique insuch a play. Victor Sutherland’s Gen¬eral Burgoyne is a truly masterfulportrayal. Linda Barrett, VincentColeman, and John Connor also con¬tribute creditable performances. concerts, the orchestra has partici¬pated in musical events on campus,among them the Brahms Festivalwhich commemorated the 100th an¬niversary of that composer.

TheMaroon’s lone point was a free throwby Mullins on Carney’s foul. After afew minutes had elapsed, Mullinsscored the first Chicago field goal ofthe season when he drove into thebasket and received a nice underhandpass from Lounsbury.Maroons Rally at HalfFrom then on, the visitors domi¬nated the offensive play until theclosing minutes of the first half, whenthe Maroons showed a spurt of offens¬ive drive that threatened the BlueDemon’s lead. The half closed withthe locals trailing 15-11.The beginning of the last periodfound an inspired Maroon aggrega¬tion drive consistently through theDe Paul defense to sink a series ofshort shots and tie the score. Butthe Blue Demon’s came to life andagain took advantage of the hosts’slack defense to gather a decisiveeight point lead that enabled themeasily to tuck their second victory ofthe season under their belts by a28-20 score.Inaccurate ShootingDe Paul sank 14 per cent of itsfield goals as compared with 8 percent for the Maroons. Chicago countedon 53 per cent of its free throws,while De Paul sank 52 per cent.Five of the seven field goals scoredby De Paul were long shots. On theother hand, all the counters chalkedup by the Maroons were made whilein close range of the bucket.Neu was the outstanding player onthe De Paul outfit, while Cassels,combining speed and deceptive fakes,seemed to be the most aggressive Ma¬roon.Harry Topping, fighting sophomoreguard for the Maroons, will be lostto the squad for several weeks as aresult of a fracture*d right wrist re¬ceived in practice last week.TERESA DOLAN1545 E. 63rd St.— Leam to dance correctly —lake private lessonsHyde Park 3080Hours: 10 A.

A crowd which came in, dis¬appointed from the tilt, stayed tohave a wet and a howling good timeat the celebration of the swimmingsocieties.Balloon RaceIt all started with a balloon racein the water. The idea wasn’t new,but it appealed to the crowd whichhilariously applauded “windy” John¬ny Van de Water’s attempt to ex¬plode his balloon with a mere puff.The mood of the audience changedas Tarpon girls dressed in orange,led by a diver in gleaming white, per¬formed a picturesque and effectivewater ballet.Next, fully in keeping with the“Primitive Pastime” sub-title of thecarnival, a group of Dolphins execut¬ ed a water ballet of their own. Itsmain and spectacular feature was apurely masculine “Big Apple” donein the pool by the union-suit cladswimmers.Doctoroff DesertsA particularly poignant note creptin, though, when it was discoveredthat Ruth Doctoroff, the darling ofthe campus selected by acclaim asTarzana, had deserted her strickenmate and had left town—for NewYork, the carnival administrationsaid.The frolic proceeded with a divingact in which “Little Willie” Fischerstole the show from such excellentdivers as attractive Arlite Smith, Na¬tional AAU women’s lowboard cham¬pion, Winston Bostick, and FloydStauffer, with a sterling exhibitionwhich included a seven-and-a-halffront somersault.Bostick came back, however, witha “mystifying, death-defying” Hou-dini act. After being tied in a sackweighted with rocks and tossed intothe pool, he rescued himself from itsblue depths while the audience’s col¬lective heart jumped into its mouth.
