TheN\gro Student Club wishes herewithto express its disapproval of thisstand, and its censure of the Editorof tbc Maroon and the entire Boardc.f Control.We base our opposition not on sen¬timent or any sense of “obligation onthe part of the University to theXegro community”, but on many ac¬tual facts which the writer of thiseditorial advantageously ignored.rhe writer of Wednesday’s editor¬ial did admit that expansion of theNe gro community is necessary andinevitable. What he fails to realizeis that all natural and normal expan-..ion of this area is prevented by thevi ry restrictive agreements that theUniversity has fostered. Especially,i, this true of the West Woodlawnarea (>0th to 63rd South Parkway to( ottage Grove. This section is sur¬rounded on three sides by a Negropopulation, and is the most logicalarea for the expansion of the com¬munity. This is the area which is(overed by restrictive covenants bya University supported organization.Fui thermore, we should like to askjust how inclusive is the Universityarea? Does it extend to OakwoodHlvd? Does it extend to 63rd and.siouth Parkway? It has been disclos¬ed that tho U. of C. Business Officehas done far more than give “passiveapproval to segregation agreements”.It has, in fact, dedicated itself tothe promotion of restrictive coven-•ints throughout the city.Property is not deteriorated by theoccupation of Negroes alone, but bythe occupation of a certain class ofpeople. Throughout the city, thereare a number of deteriorated area inwhich no Negroes reside. Numbers ofN’egroes in the city have the quali¬fications for residence in the Uni¬versity area economically, educa-tionaliy, or culturally. We do not wishto see the deterioration of the or¬ganized areas in the city, but we arededicated to a fight for the right ofall citizens to live wherever theywish and are able.(HV repent, th/it given tfie preju¬dices of most people, restrictive agree¬ments are necessary for the areaitround the University campus. Wedid not ami do not justify Universitysupport of agreements concerning(ireus more than, say, ten blocks fromthe campus. We regret the situationhut believe that the University mustfirst protect itself in view of theIt igning jrrejudices.) —Ed.Dodd-(Continued from page 1)assistant Secretary of State.Ambassador Four YearsProfessor Dodd has been an ambas¬sador for four years, having assumedthe position at Berlin in 1933.

Sears Outlines Methods to ChangeState Constitution of IllinoisSpeaking last Monday to the HydePark League of Women Voters, onthe subject “A New Constitution forIllinois,” Kenneth C. Sears, professorof Law, told the Daily Maroon hisviews on the subject.The defects in the present Illinoisconstitution. Professor Sears said,are “too numerous to mention.” Thecrucial question, he pointed out, ishow we may obtain a constitutionalconvention or how we may make itpossible to adopt an amendment tothe constitution.“A proposal to amend the presentconstitution will be before the votersat the November, 1938, election.There is nothing in our experiencethat can possibly make one optimisticthat this amendment will be adopt¬ed,” he declared.“Apparently the majority of thevoters in Illinois who have any ideasto express on the constitutional con¬vention are in favor of a convention,but their views are defeated by thevoters who have no ideas to express.This is possible,” he said, “becausethe present constitution automatical¬ly casts a vote against a conventionunless the voter takes the pains tocast a vote for the conventon.”One way in which something maybe accomplished. Professor Searssaid, would be to have legislation1938. Only one manuscript is eligiblefrom each of the competing colleges.Work should be submitted to Rol¬and S.

Ultra-violet radiation is evenmore rapidly absorbed. X-rays will,as you know, pass through manyinches of bone, wood, or other ab¬sorbing material without much ab¬sorption. Indeed, it is necessary tog:uard X-ray apparatus with leadshields to prevent serious burns tothe operator. Gamma rays fromradioactive substances have greaterpenetration yet, and will pass feeblythrough as much as a foot of lead.By far the most penetrating radia¬tion known is the recently discoveredcosmic rays.Cosmic rays are the specialty ofDr. Arthur Holly Compton, worldfamed Nobel prize winner, of thiscampus. Under his direction VolneyWilson, a graduate student in phy¬sics, has just completed an experi¬ment to find out just how penetratingthe cosmic rays are. No mass of ma¬terial assembled in a laboratory willstop these rays. Consequently, theonly absorbing material availablewas the rock surface of the earth. Tomeasure the strength of cosmic raysbelow a thick layer of rock, Wilsonspent three months in a mine shaft.The mine was a copper mine inMichigan which was not being work¬ed at the time. It had a sloping shaftwith a track laid in it for mine cars.Wilson built a portable laboratorywhich could be moved up and downthe shaft on skids and rollers. Hehad to protect the equipment fromwater which seeped into the mine.* • * *The equipment for detecting thecosmic rays required a year to con¬struct in Ryerson laboratory. TheGeiger Mueller counter tubes wereprobably the largest in the world,measuring four inches by three feet.Special construction of the apparatuswas necessary because all rock con¬tains radioactive materials, and thegamma radiation they produce wouldregister in the counter tubes moreoften than the cosmic rays. The solu¬tion to this problem was a “cosmicray telescope” which would respondto cosmic rays alone, and to thosefalling vertically in particular.During the three months requiredto make measurements at 39 positionsin the shaft, Volney Wilson and hisassistants camped at the opening tothe mine, which was located in opencountry. Among the teohnical prob¬lems were the skunks which visitedthem nightly. Wilson says they werevery friendly.The results of this work showedthe greatest penetration of any typeof rays ever measured, for Wilsonfound cosmic rays at a depth of1,400 feet of solid rock. This was notthe limit of sensitivity of his ap¬paratus. At that depth, only thehardest rays were left and a hundredfeet one way or another made littledifference to them. The greatestpenetration previously measured wasthe equivalent of 529 meters of wat¬er, by Gorlin, as compared with Wil¬son’s equivalent depth of 1,300 met¬ers.)fi « ♦Wilson is now preparing his Ph. D.thesis on the summers’- work. Hewas asked to present his findings be¬fore the meeting of the AmericanPhysical Society, which was held inEckhart lecture room last Friday andSaturday.

This figure contrastssharply with a decrease of 902 forthe reading period at this time lastyear.One explanation for intenser study¬ing is that more books are now a-vailable.

This week the campus lightswhich have attracted attention arethose which burned late Monday eve¬ning in the Quadrangle club. Emit¬ting a glare of light, the upper stor¬ies of the club could possibly be hous¬ing flood lights but no reason can bediscovered for it.Last week flood lights again gainedprominence when used on the mainfloor of Harper.

Badminton, Table Tennis, BowlingProve Popular Ida Noyes SportsEvery Monday and Wednesdaynight from 6 to 10 the walls of IdaNoyes hall reverberate to the swishof badminton bats, the click of cel¬luloid table tennis balls, and thecrash of bowling pins being knockedover, as open-house activities draw alargo and noisy crowd.So enthusiastic has been the re¬sponse to the facilities made avail-1able through the trend to bigger and |better open house activities in IdaNoyes that some sort of organiza¬tion followed almost as a matter ofcourse.An example is the Badminton club,which held its second meeting Fri¬day night. Under the leadership ofJohn Kent, crack Canadian badmin¬ton player the members congregateevery two weeks on Friday eveningsfrom 7:30 to 9 in the big gym, thereto practice, under Kent’s expert tute¬ lage, the clear shot, the drop shot,the lob, and various other serves.Badminton, a game utilizing afeather-weight racquet similar to atennis racquet, but much lighter,which is used to swat a deceptivelyinnocuous-appearing feathered corkknown as the “bird,” has severalfeatures which combine to make it anideal indoor sport. In the hands ofgood players, it is an exceedinglystrenuous and fast-moving game,yet novices can enjoy it with a modi¬cum of effort. It is played on a com¬paratively small court; the scoring issimple; and either singles or doublesgames c?n be played. Firm, therefore,in the well-grounded belief that bad¬minton is the coming indoor game,the Badminton club is preparing itsmembers for competition with suchgroups as the Wilmette club, the Evanston club, and the Law.son club.Anyone holding an open activitieseard is eligible to join the organiza¬tion.Further activity along the sameline is the league bowling tourna¬ment, first of its kind, being organiz¬ed under the sponsorship of Mar¬ guerite Kidwell, instructor in physj.c^l education, which has been plan'ned to include those bowlers inter¬ested in competitive playing. Theschedule, which is posted in ijaNoyes hall, already lists five teams-eventually, probably seven or eiehtwill participate. ^AN EXCELLENT XMAS GIFT FOR THE ROOM-MATE!• bcc«M it’« mad* »f cwtfuUv teUcicdheart bniyirc root (oaly 1 OM ot 75 bo»Uia perfect enough for Cettmad) ... trka^uredto give a cool, tweet amoke fro« dM (rti pui... and bcoutifuily fjitithad.Yuur Stineway atore haa Certifled Porn;^lao a complete line of other PornPipca, II and 11.50STINEWAY DRUGS57TH AND XENWCX)D
