Specifically, the meetingaccepted the following departuresfrom the program of 1935: First,abandonment of the Oxford Oathand adoption of a collective securityposition; Second, decision to go intopolitical action in support of anyspecific candidate who is workingfor the progressive measures ad¬vocated by the ASU.This action is important from theviewpoint not only of those memberswho were voted down in the tabula¬tions but the national program ofthe ASU as a whole. Chicago beingthe largest chapter of the ASU, anyaction it takes is more or less a leadfor the country. This is the first timethat any chapter has departed farenough from the generalized originalprogram to alienate by specific pi’o-posals any significant portion of itsmembership.Basing their anti-Oxford Oath posi¬tion on the changed character of theinternational situation, and the standfor political action on the samephenomenon, adherents of the newline were at times hard pressed bythe opposition. However, the 20-25majority vote they were able tocommand witnessed the membership’spreference for popular front action.A proposal for preferential voting Committee on £ x a m i n a-tions Suggests Award ofCourse Credits.Members of the .staff of the Phy¬sical Science division will meet thisafternoon to consider making the“New Plan” voluntary in the divi¬sion. They will consider the follow¬ing recommendation of the Committeeon Examinations: “That the candi¬date for the Bachelor’s degree maychoose to obtain the degree either byfulfilling the present requirements,including the passing of comprehen¬sive examinations, or in.stead of tak¬ing those examinations, by obtainingcourse credits at the prescribed levelof achievement.”Advance NoticeThe advance notice of the meetingsent to members of the divisional fac¬ulty continues as follows:“The Committee on Examinationsbelieves that the Division, or a divi¬sional committee appointed for thepurpose, should work out the methodby which the student is to chooseeither of the options above, but sug¬gests that the choice should be madeupon entrance into the Division. Itis suggested also that suitable pro¬visions be made by which the stu¬dent may change his choice later.“While discussion of the reasonsfor this proposal may be left to thedivisional meeting, the committeepoints out that it is in complete ac¬cordance with the New Plan provisionpermitting able students to omit cer¬tain class work and obtain the degreeby means of examination.”Declines CommentHenry G. Gale, dean of the divisionof Physical Sciences declined to com¬ment on the proposed change. Themove has been started by the facultyof the division, according to DeanGale, and before going into effectwill have to be approved by the gen¬eral Senate of the University.

On publicworks ho said that long-time planningof such projects grew out of Ickes’PWA, which in turn grew out of acommission set up by PresidentHoover. The Resources Committeedrew up a list of $21,000,000,000worth of projects in case anyonecared to use them.Public Works DepartmentThe creation of a Public WorksDi'partment, designed to effect co¬operation between the federal, state. city and county governments, was oneof the suggestions made in the re¬ports, he continued, but because sucha plan would cut into existing De¬partments, nothing has been done a-b( ;ii it.On the relation of scientific researchto government he stated, “Our ideawas that scientific knowledge is one ofthe greatest national resources,” andthat government should make everyendeavor to utilize and promotescientific initiative and discoveries.Regionalism and UrbanismOn regionalism and urbanism, hestated that the Committee undertookto learn to what extent the FederalGovernment was centralizing gov¬ernmental power. In some cities, itwas found, that there are as many as50 or 60 different federal agencies.Merriam ended his talk wdth thestatement that, “We hope to makecontributions to the basic data neces¬sary for long-time planning in thefield of consumption and produc¬tion.”Page Two THE DAILY MAROON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1937PLATFORM1.

A highly or¬ganized group, the communists pushed theirprogram through, and by manipulating themethod of election of delegates, insured thatminority opinions of the local chapter wouldnot be represented at the approaching nationalconvention.The meeting served to give the ASU a moreunified, sensible platform. It is foolish to pre¬tend to unite two groups as hostile as the Com¬munists and Trotskyites in a single organiza¬tion. But the real disgrace of the meeting wasthe refusal of the communists to permit a sys¬tem of voting that would give the minority avoice in the delegation which will go to Vassarthis vacation. The program which the localchapter adopted was the communist program,but it does not follow that the same will occurin the national convention. Until the conventiondoes so the Trotskyites have a place in theASU, yet the majority denied them repre.senta-tion by a shabby abuse of power.The alleged basis for election—the amountof work done—is made laughable by the factthat Bette Harwich received the greatest vote.She has done absolutely nothing in the or¬ganization this year save attend a few meet¬ings.There remains a further question as to howlong the liberals will be content to play frontfor the active communist core of the ASU. Thetwo groups agree on immediate aims, disagreeon ultimate ends. For the rest of the year itappears that the liberals will remain cheek byjowl with the communists, stirred only by avague sense of fundamental incompatability.It is hard to like a group which confessedly isusing you for its own ends, alien to your own,and at long last there will perhaps be yet an¬other fission in the American Student Union.Scientific QualmsThe Physical Science division, or at least itsexamination committee, has decided that Bach¬elor's comprehensives fail to measure the stateof one’s education.

Examination technique is almost as im¬portant as actual knowledge in determining theexamination result. But the old system hasits disadvantages. Course examinations, pre¬pared by professors, are even less satisfactoryas tests of knowledge than comprehensive ex¬aminations prepared by specialists constantlyseeking improvement. Course grades rest toan incalculable degree on personal bias. Thereis absolutely no check on the performance ofthe professor when he determines the gradeshe shall award. It would be as difficult to keepstandards even approximately equal wdthin de¬partments as it is difficult now to maintainequality between departments. On the wholethe comprehensives seem preferable.SWEETNESS AND LIGHTBy LILLIAN SCHOENHEY. EMMETTEmmett Deadman, of the well publicized Maroonstaff, had an interview with a representative of theLeague of Nations during w’hich the gentleman re¬marked that the trouble with the people in the Leaguewas that they couldn’t remember and reproduce ideasat the proper times. This Emmett duly reported asfollows: “One of the trainings most obviously lackingamong diplomats today is that of reproductive ability.”Yesterday a note appeared on the Maroon bulletinboard, “Hey, Emmett!

Irwin, Goodspeed Aidin Editing Revision ofBiblical TranslationsMost Americans, if they read theBible at all, read either the KingJames translation, published in 1611,or the American standard version,published about 40 years ago, A thirdversion, designed to eliminate thefaults of the first two, will be avail¬able to them in a few years.Two University men, William A.Irwin, professor of Old TestamentLanguage and Literature, and EdgarJ. Goodspeed, professor emeritus ofNew Testament Biblical and PatristicGreek, are collaborating with about adozen other scholars and the Inter¬national Council of Religious Educa¬tion in revising the Bible.King James TranslationsThe King James translation iswritten in language so archaic as tobe unintelligrible in places. On theother hand, the American version, al¬though remedying this defect, haslost much of the literary quality ofthe other. The new version will em¬body results of the best scholarshipof our day, 'but will conform closelyto the King James version, changesbeing made only when necessary.It is expected that the work willtake about five years to complete. Bynext summer, Genesis and Exodus,Mark and Luke are to be finished.Professor Irwin, one of the six per¬sons working on the Old Testament,is now engaged in revising the last15 chapters of Exodus. ProfessorGoodspeed is working on the NewTestament. Robert Cushman Discusses Problemsof Government Regulatory BureausOne of the problems facing thegovernment of the United States to¬day is the fixation of responsibilityfor its independent regulatory com¬missions, Robert E. Cushman, Gold-win Smith professor of Governmentat Cornell University and visitinglecturer said yesterday.Professor Cushman had just finish¬ed a series of three lectures dealingwith the administrative aspects ofthe British regulatory commissions.He is the author of the section of thereport of the President’s Committeeon Administrative Management deal¬ing with these commissions, and hasspent the past six months in Eng¬land studying how they function inthat country.Expecl.s No ActionAlthough his report is included inthe plan for administrative reform.Professor Cushman does not expectany action to be taken on it at thissession of Congress. He believes andrecommended in his report thatthere should be more segregation offunctions among commissions such asis found in England. This would makefor a fixation of responsibility andwould relieve the administrator frombeing at the same time an executiveand a judge.The development of appellate ad¬ministrative officers, he stated, wouldbe desirable to assure a fair reviewof the decisions in which the admin¬istrators themselves are intensely in¬ terested. Although he did not mentionit, it is prQbable that such a boardwould have had the duty of reviewingthe action of the National Labor Re-lations Board wjjen it recently sub-(Continued on page 6)SPECIAL INTENSIVE COURSErOI COlllOI STUOINT9 AND OtADUATItA 4Aora«ffi. j6mamAAM AMOM-atmUmg Jm$kmry 1, Aitii I, Jmb I, OcMtr ImoserBUSINESS COLLEGE9AUI MOtIR.

He has to feel that he can’tte licked because he won’t be licked.Confidence, not over-confidence norcockiness, is an attribute that anyman must possess to be a leader inwhatever field he chooses as his own.♦ * •The whole source of trouble withthe Chicago basketball teams in re¬cent years has been a lack of confi¬dence. Sure, it’s easy to say, “Why,you fellows have a good team.’’They’ll smile and listen to it, butway down in their hearts they havememories of scores of games inwhich they have had the short endof the score. Consequently, a pilingup of these scores has acted as apile-driver in knocking out any con¬fidence that they would have hadunder normal conditions. Believe itor not. any fellow in the field ofvports, or any field for that matter,must have a pat on the back once inawhile: not to puff out his chest somuch, but rather to push in his back50 that his chest can be normal,rather than warped. It goes a longway toward making any athlete playthe way he is capable of playing,rather than playing under par dueto his lack of confidence.* ♦ *This year’s Chicago team is in aperfect spot to come through to givethe confidence that is needed in thisand future teams. This year there isan abundance of the best materialChicago has had in years. The abilityof the squad as a whole as well asthat of individual players is equalto any team in the Conference. They•■hould have the confidence becausethey have the ability. If each manwill get into his own head the ideaof “1 can do it—I will do it!,’’ over;in per cent of their problems will be>olved. You’ll see a smoother workingoutfit. You’ll see much more accurate-hooting. You’ll see better passing.You'll see many games with Chicagoon the long end of the score. And,you'll see Chicago right up with thetop ranking teams of the Conference!Avukah Holds Social Varsity, AlumniHold FencingMeet TomorrowThe Varsity fencers are scheduledto meet the Alumni in an informal ex¬hibition tourney tomorrow after¬noon at 2:30, in Bartlett Gym.The sword artists who will com¬pete are Ormand Julian and NedFritz, who will fence with sabers.Burton Young and Charles Corbettin an epee tilt. Hank Lemon andLoyal Tingley, who will also mixwith the heavy foils, and CampbellWilson who will duel Herb Strausswith the regular fencing foils.The oldest alumnus who will ex-I hibit his swordsmanship will be Pro-I fessor Robert V. Merrill. Severalothers of the alumni will be there in• an attempt to “foil” the Varsity' squad.j Changes in the rules for Big Ten^ fencing competition, were announcedat the meeting of Big Ten coacheslast week-end. The dual meets will notcount in the determination of theconference champions hereafter. Thisdecision was made as a result of thedifficulty of standardizing conditionsunder which the meets take place.At the end of the season, therefore,there will be a Conference round-robin tournament. Each school willenter two men for each of the threeweapons, and the team winning thegreatest number of bouts will receivethe conference crown. The four high¬est ranking fencers in the round-robin tourney will qualify for the in¬dividual championship.The Conference meet is tentative¬ly scheduled for March 12 at Chicago..Ml students are cordially invitedtil .\vukah’s .second social to be heldSaturday evening, at Ida Noyes hall.The program is to consist of Pal-(stinian tangoes, .social dancing, andrefreshments. As a unique celebra¬tion of Avukah’s 13th year of organi-r-ation, the admission charge will be13 cents.This afternoon at 3:30 in SocialScience 122, Avukah is holding ameeting protesting the abuse of aca¬demic freedom in Poland.Chc'irles W.

Swimmers Preparefor Big Ten MeetsWith the passing of the WaterCarnival, varsity swimmers havesettled down in earnest to produce ateam which they hope will withstandthe onslaughts of various Big Tensquads.The weekly practice meets, heldevery Friday afternoon, are again,an important feature of pre-seasonpractice.The schedule for the coming yearhas already been decided upon.Northwestern heads the list with ameet at Evanston on January 22.' February will bring Chicago, Minne¬sota, and Iowa, to arms in a tri¬school tilt at Iowa City.On February 18, the natatox’s willattempt to drown Purdue, and on thefollowing day, Wisconsin, in the homepool. A return meet with Northwest¬ern is scheduled for February21, and a tilt with Illinois, on March6 will end the dual meet season.

Hulbert of the University.A corps of paid and volunteer readershave been searching American publi¬cations from Pilgrim days onwardfor words of American origin, thoseof greater currency here than else¬where, and those which dei^ict thegradual development, of the country.“Bum” Meaning .“Loaf”The Word “bum,” meaning to loafor wander about, appeared in litera¬ture for the first time in 1862. Aneastern newspaper described a groupof vagrants by saying “they are justfit to stay in this city, vegetate in theback slums, read the News and Ex¬press, and bum»around rum shops.”Using the word" to characterize adrunken .spree or . debauch,' L., H.-Bagg’s “At Yale,” - written in 1871,set forth that^ “Thursday night is thefavorite-time -for the more depravedStones men to/gojbff on a bum’ to¬gether, and ‘ afterwards wake theech.oes of the'.college yard,..with their United Statesdiscordant bowlings.” > p, - "" .

As early as? 1888,dramatic critics referred to “bum ac¬tors” in their daily columns.As a slang expression meaning tosponge on others for a living, to leadan idle or dissolute life, to obtain aride, food, or money by surreptitiousmeans or by ■ begging, the word“bum” was a iiopular word-, thoughnot a popular habit, as early as 1872.Such sentences as “Severaj of the‘lads’ had been ‘pulled’ at the Rapidsfor ‘bumming the freights’,” and“Then he bummed me for the priceof a square meal,” made early ap¬pearances in American literature.“Rummer,” and idler, loafer orsponger, originated about the sametime. During the Civil War, a s6l’-dier who deserted the ranks and plun¬dered promiscuously, was known asa “bummer.” In 1872 a Chicagodaily newspaper attached the word“bummer” to a political hanger onor dependent.
