Harper & Bros, N. Y., 1937.In the most famous of ThorntonWilder's novels, “The Bridge of SanLuis Key,” a famous South Americanbridge of the 17th century gave way,hurtling a small group of people totheir death. It‘became Author Wild¬ers problem to examine the lives ofthise characters to discover, if pos¬sible. why they should so suffer. Us¬ing this same idea in a less tragicand less compact manner, FredericProkosch in “The Seven Who Fled”has approached a similar problemwhen seven Europeans are ejectedfrom the recesses of Mongolia andflirted across savage Asia to theChinese coast. As Wilder has done,so does Prokosch by devoting a sec¬tion of the novel to each of thecharacters, carrying each to his deathor his new life..Ml seven characters are Euro- jp. ans who have fled from the Con-tment. We meet and know for a brief 'period a disillusioned Englishman, p Ifrustrated Russian, a crafty Belgian, 1two (Jermans, a Spanish woman, and ian unhappy Frenchman.The book is a series of character 1.'ketches with all action subordinated ^to this end; consequently the book is IdilTuse and episodic. Whatever unity ,is achieved, is derived from the tre- !inendous setting of Asia and its effect |on the characters and from the fact jthat all the characters have “es- |cajied” from a troublesome Europe.* * * IEach of the seven people in the |book finds some resolution for his |dilemma. For three, the solution |lies in a resignation to their Asiatic |•surroundings, for two in death, for |one m a return to his fatherland, for janother in his killing a man.This moody and disheartening book 'IS nevertheless beautiful because the jauthor tells with great artistry thepoignant spiritual troubles of the Icharacters and their sensitive reac- jturns to their natural surroundings, jPages and pages of closely observednatural phenomena are well integrrat-fil into the lives and moods of thecharacters. The.se observations makeexplicit the feelings of the peopleand raise the tenor of the book outof the muddied expression of littleminds.(Continued on page 3) Student SymphonyPresents ProgramTomorrow NightBachman Directs Univer¬sity Orchestra in Season’sFirst Concert.A miscellaneous and varigated ar¬ray of students, having in commontheir love for music, will present theUniversity Symphony Orchestra’sfirst concert of the season tomorrowevening in Mandel hall.The most brilliant part of theorchestra is the brass section, coachedby Director Bachman of the Univer¬sity Band.

Fraternal*delegates from other campus organi¬zations who may be interested in at¬tending the convention, should cometo the meeting.Publish Survey ofFraternity GradesA survey of fraternity grades willbe published before the end of thequarter according to Edwin Bergman,member of the Interfraternity Com-initte'e.Averages are being compiled fromthe Dean’s record by NYA workers.Considered in the tabulation are themarks of all active fraternity men,including pledges registered duringthe Spring quarter.This will be the first time since theadvent of the New Plan that com¬parative grades have been published.In expressing committee opinion,Bergman states, “Results of academiccompetition should prove stimulatingto the campus.” Having published one book entitled“The Separation of Church andState in Italian Thought from Cavourto Mussolini,” Samuel Halperin, in¬structor of History, is now at workon a second volume and is contem¬plating the issuance of a third booksometime in the future.Although they deal with differentperiods, all are concerned with thecontroversy between the Italian stateand the Church. The second book,“Italy and the Vatican at War,” dealswith the relations between the coun¬try and the papacy during the lastyears of Pius IX, and the final workcontinues this discussion after thePope’s death.Material for Book.sMuch material for the books wasobtained in this country, accordingto Halperin. However, during hisstay in Europe this summer, he visit¬ed Roman libraries and archives toobtain facts which are not availableoutside of Italy.Original diplomatic manuscriptswhich are still unpublished were con¬sulted to obtain accurate information.Since the writing was in Italian itw'as necessary for Halperin to trans¬late the papers, a process which wasoften difficult because of illegiblewriting.Commenting on the information in¬cluded in the Wks, Halperin declaredthat the present controversy ragingin Italy between the Pope and theState dates back directly to 1870when the same opposing issues wereoriginated. At that time, faithfulCatholics, who represented the Con¬servative party boycotted Italian poli¬tics, resulting ir. the ab.sence of theconservative element in government.Professor’s ConditionStill Remains Critical DA Shows Effective DirectionIn One-Acts on Newcomers’ BillOpening its four night run in theReynolds club theater last night,the DA’s current equivalent of theusual group of freshman plays pre¬sented two interesting departuresfrom its previous plan. For the firsttime, the casts were made up ofnewcomers to the DA I’egardless oftheir class standing. More pleasingwas the selection of plays which gavethe debutants a worthy background,and did not, as did past selections onsuch occasions, insult them withtheir asininity.Last night’s three plays were chos¬en from the shorter works of modernplaywrights of three Europeancountries, and each represented a dis¬tinct dramatic technique.

To Robert Wagoner, the stu¬dent director, fell the job of vivify¬ing this undramatic piece, a job whichproved almost too difficult except withthe aid of Virginia Watson, the prom¬ising member of the cast.Russian PieceMuch more effective was an ex¬pressionists piece by the Russian,N.

Hutchins saidthat the University policy toward ath¬letics would remain unchanged for thefuture. Replying to Brown’s introduc¬tion, he asserted that it was impos¬sible that any of the ideas withwhich he came to the Universityshould change. He epitomized theUniversity’s athletic policy by say¬ing that the University vvanted teamsof students, in contrast to teams ofathletes. He further denied Shaugh¬nessy his sympathy because Shaugh¬nessy had “the best job in the coun¬try.”Shag Praises SpiritShaughnessy said that the team,characterized by a fine spirit,had failed to win a game due to try¬ing too hard for victory.William McNeill, editor of the Ma¬roon, suggested as a solution of theathletic dilemma the substitution ofhorse racing for football, since thenthe eligibility problem would be re¬moved.Other speakers of the evening wereVice presidents Frederick Woodward,.

Reform of Blackfriars.How to Have Fun andKill PeopleThe answer is simple: engage in a war.Proof, if proof is needed, is contained in a bookrecently published entitled From SpanishTrenches edited by Marcel Acier. It consistsof a series of letters from volunteer fightersin the Loyalist army. The letters breathe con¬tent despite the horrors they describe, the in¬credible physical hardships they relate. Thedestruction of villages and cities and theslaughter of people seems incredible in the reg¬ular, peaceful, quiet circle of our existence, yetflesh is torn daily in Spain, limbs scattered overthe ground, men wounded, houses reduced torubbish heaps. Truly it is incredible that mencould so thoroughly escape their civilian habitsas to become beasts again.Yet the men on both sides are enjoying it,or did so a few months ago. The letters showthe soldiers content, submerged in a causewhich they can espouse with their wholehearts, a cause which absorbs their utmost en¬ergies, leaves no time for doubt, which canmake them psychologically whole again evenif it means becoming physically broken. Therebel soldiers have equally a strong morale andconviction, if the dispach from a correspondentjust returned to London from the rebel terri¬tory printed Tuesday in the Daily News is tobe trusted.The letters date from the early days of thesiege of Madrid. By now the soldiers of bothsides have no doubt settled into the dull hateof war and effort which characterized the sol¬diers of the last years of the Great War. Butfor the first few months war is fun, magnifi¬cent self-expression, a wonderful way of re¬gaining, if temporarily, psychological content,and of escaping the responsibilities and routineof civilian life.This is what makes it possible to recruitarmies from the population at large. Almostno one can think of sticking a bayonet intoanother man without horrid revulsion, but al¬most everybody likes to get away from homeand routine in the service of a glorious cause,and is willing to stick bayonets into sacks andstomachs to get the release.War in the service of Spanish democracyhas so attracted many men from this and othercountries, men who have a cause and wish tosubmerge themselves in it. Yet there is everylikelihood that the cause will be betrayed aswas the cause for which the soldiers of theGreat War fought. How can democracy ariseout of the violence and hate that now exist inSpain? How can democracy arise out of theviolence and hate of social revolution, preachedby radicals?

As afavorite field of exploration, a prom¬inent place must be given to thestudy of substances which ordinarilyare extremely rare, that is, oneswhose practical importance wouldnot seem to justify the expendituresof time and resources, being giventhem. Occasionally, however, studiesof this sort bear great theoreticalsignificance. The University has itsrepresentative of this, for we needno better example of .cuch a studythan that of the hydrides of boronwhich is proceeding here under thedirection of Professor H. I. Schles-inger and Dr, A. B. Burg.The element boron itself consti¬tutes about .001 per cent of theearth’s crust. The only of its com¬pounds usually encountered in thelaboratory are those related to thefamiliar boric acid. The hydrides ofboron, however, are another matter.That little is known of them is readilyunderstood in light of the extremedifficulty encountered when workingwith them.about having innermost emotions exposed. “Is therenothing sacred?” they query reproachfully, “can’t youget away from high school .'^tuff?” So today the chieftopic of controversy will be Napoleon. We surely can’tstep on his toe.s.Tucked away in a low-ceilinged, musty, gloomy,dust-buried corner of Harper is the Napoleanna col¬lection, utterly forgotten and ignored by the PowersThat Be. It hasn’t been cleaned since the New Plan,the public is barred by lock and key, the silence isunearthly and the only humans to make tracks acrossthe floor are graduate students in search of a quietspot to write a thesis.The atmosphere is most depre.ssing. Napoleon glares,stares and looks wistful at you from all 4 walls. Fiftyoil paintings, etchings and chromos depict him on horse,hand in vest, on board ship, reading, looking desper¬ate, defeated, confident but never smiling.

Before Drs. Schles-ingcr and Burg began this study,there was no feasible method of pre¬paring this substance in the quanti¬ties needed. They, however, havedeveloped a method which consists ofpassing boron trichloride and hy¬drogen through an electric arc dis¬charge. Although there are severalintermediate prodQcts, a large enoughyield of diborane is obtained so thatmost laboratories in this countrydesirous of using this substance aresupplied from Chicago.Actual work with diborane requiresskillful technique of the highest sort.The compound is very explosive, andmust be manipulated at very lowpressures, that is, using the modern“vacuum method.” In the presence ofthe slightest trace of air, the sub¬stance blows up; a little moisturecauses its complete decomposition.When working with it, temperaturesof about 80 degrees below* zero(Centigrade) must be maintained,and when shipped it is sent in tubespacked in dry ice. Before a glass ves¬sel may be used in this work thevessel must be heated in a vacuumI almost to its melting point. Then,I when all absorbed gases (includingI air and water) have been driven off,it is allowed to cool in an atmos¬phere of hydrogen, the latter takingthe place of the absorbed gases.1 • • •The theoretical interest attached todiborane concerns itself with the na¬ture of its electronic structure. Atthe present day most chemical bondsare interpreted as consisting of twoatoms held together by mutual at¬traction for a pair of electrons lo¬cated between them. But for diboranesuch an interpretation for all thebonds is impossible simply becausethere are not enough electrons to goaround! Many alternative views havebeen expressed. Among these is in-Because an uncle of his was the seventh son andparental ingenuity was waning, Donal Holway’s name isnovel—novel both in the sense of uniqueness and be¬cause it was the name of a character in a popularnovel. Known on campus as an eccentric, his con¬servative hometown, Tulsa, regards him as a bit on theBohemian side. Friends declare that his eccentricityis all in his sideburns, upon which he dotes. Demandsand threats result in naught but the cryptic, “I like mysideburns, and I don’t care what people think.”On Donal the sideburns aren’t incongruous. Whetherhe has developed his personality to match the meticu¬lously trimmed red cheek decorations or whether theyare the physical ultimate of his personality is . de¬batable. Whatever the decision, his pet idiosyncrasy,his ruffled red hair, reddish horn-rimmed glasses, andhis Leica camera unite to create the other half ofPulse’s flash photograph team.With Dave Eisendrath, Donal has co-operated fortwo years, turning out excellent candid shots and por¬trait studies. Too much in demand to apply himselfas intensely as he would like to his graduate physicswork and his reading, Holway enjoys snapping pic¬tures sufficiently not to cease.In high school he participated in speech activitiesand gained a reputation as a student. He received hisB.S. in three years, and is now in his first year ofgraduate work. Although he has lived the entire fouryears in the men’s dormitories, Donal still finds thefood edible and satisfying. Books constitute his chiefrecreation. At present he is intrigued with KristinLavansdatter and can’t comprehend why he didn’tread such a fine book long ago.Whimsical and a bit anti-social, Donal’s only ob¬vious fault consists of being justifiably immodest abouthis achievements—scholastically and photographically.

This picture has long beena favorite one.Other theories depict a boron atomjoined to two hydrogens by threeelectrons, and two hydrogens presentas ions with the two borons joinedby a double bond (two pairs ofelectrons).Dr. Schlesinger’s main purpose inundertaking this work was to deter¬mine whether the one-electron bondexists, and to learn something of itsproperties if it does. In a paper justcompleted he has definitely shownthat none of the formulae which donot involve a one-electron bond, orsomething similar to it, can possiblybe correct. So at the present time, theexistence of such a bond seems to bequite definitely established.TO WEARSMART CLOTHESFOR FORMAL OCCASIONS,GIVES YOU THE FEELINGOF BEING V/ELL DRESSEDYOUR EVENINGSARE REALLYENJOYEDREXFORD'SClothes for Men28 E.

I A revolutionary plan to providelow-cost legal aid to the low’er middleclasses was described yesterday byEdward H. Levi, assistant professorof I.,aw, and a member of the Law¬yers’ Guild Committee. Chicago is thefirst to make this precedent-establish¬ing sU*p, he said.The plan provides for the estab¬lishment of a law office in which legalservice of a standardized nature isprovided at a very low price. Such.service, for example, as the settle¬ment of small claim matters, and thedrafting of simple legal documents.Reasons for EstablishmentRea.sons for the establishment ofthe clinic are two-fold. First, it wasfound that the income of lawyers isusually very low. Second, it wasfound that the general public has notbeen going to lawyers as much as itshould. Causes of this state are afeeling of distrust of lawyers and ofworry about expen.ses.This clinic, then, will partiallysolve both of these problems, it ishoped. It is a further indication ofthe trend towards low-cost profes¬sional service which has already cometo the fore in medical aid clinics, andwhich promi.ses to make itself knownbefore long in other specialized pro¬fessions.Opposition to ClinicsOpposition to legal clinics, as wasevident in medical circles, is not ex¬pected, present indications show.Levi warned any possible oppositionthat “if the lawyers don’t do some¬thing about present conditions, someone else will.”-Abbott, McMillenAttend ConferenceLeaving for Washington D.

This is theopinion of Dr. Egon Wertheimer ofthe Social Problems Section of theLeague of Nations Secretariat, whoyesterday spoke on “The New Di¬plomacy.”Interviewed after the lecture, inwhich he called attention to thechanging character of the men in theservice since pre-war days, he point¬ed out the casualness which charac¬terizes training for important diplo¬matic posts. “The small countries,”he said, “are unable to provide ade¬quate training for the very few menthey have entering the service eachyear. The establishment of an In¬ ternational Training School wherecountries might send their men forcontacts and learning through prac¬tice would serve to alleviate thisdifficulty.”Tells PlanHe also thinks that men should be¬gin their training at an earlier age.Now they are taken in with only acasual knowledge of languages otherthan their own (often not evenenough to work with) and their pasteducation has not been related totheir future work. An academy suchas his would take students at about18 years of age and relate all theirUniversity work to diplomatic rela¬tions.One of the trainings most obvious¬ly lacking among diplomats today isthat of reportorial ability, he stated.No other Christmas present for $Sequals this value!

The visitors have the edge inexperience on the Chicago squad, withan overwhelming 32-21 victory overWisconsin, and a close 31-29 loss toNorthwestern under their belts.Assistant Coach Kyle Andersontried vainly to impress Chicagoguards with the importance of get¬ting off the floor to snag rebounds,as the Maroon squad rounded intoshape for the week-end tilt.To improve the poor offensiveshowing the Chicagoans displayedlast Saturday night, Norgren movedJohnny Eggemeyer to guard where hewill probably pair off with CaptainPeterson, and benched Morris Rossinand Howard Isaacson. Bob Cassels,fancy diving qualifying meet was notheld.The three man medley relay for180 yards has teams from Psi U.,Phi Kappa Sigma, Lambda Phi, andPhi Psi. whose floor work has been outstand¬ing in scrimmage this week, has beenteamed at forward in Eggemeyer’sold position with “Moon” Mullins.Dick Lounsbury has continued in thecenter position; however. Bob Bige¬low has often been seen in that spotwhen Lounsbury has occasionallybeen moved to Mullins’ forward post.Eggemeyer’s dead eye on middle-distance shots should bolster the of¬fensive power and increase the scoreif visiting forwards allow’ him thenecessary second to get set. Duringthe scrimmage sessions he has clearlyshow’n his ability to score from mid¬dle-distance and long range on manyoccasions.Captain Peterson has proved agood leader by putting more teamspirit into the basketeers as w’ell asgreatly strengthening the defense.Although the outlook is none toobright for Saturday, many Maroonfollowers find potential strength inthe squad, and hope to see it dis¬played before the season progre.ssesvery far.
