Schoedsack and Merian C.(’ooper, “Grass” portrays the migra¬tion of the Bakhtiari tribe in west¬ern Persia as they cross throughblazing, sand-swept deserts, down theraging Karun River and over the-nowtields of the Zardeh Kuh pass intheir search for summer grazinglands for their flocks.Tribe RomanceNo romance of the Valentino type,(Irass” is a superbly photographedactual record of the epic romance ofa tribe* of 50,000 souls—a film of-simple emotional and aesthetic hon¬esty whose theme is the struggle ofman against nature for existence.In presenting the film, the Societydoes so after an exhaustive canvass<if the faculty’s interest in such aneducational project. So great hasbeen the enthusiasm that the directorof .the StKjiety, C. Sharpless Hickman,announces that during the Winterand Spring quarters two other world-famed “natural type” films will bepresentt'd, "Nanook of the North”and “Moana of the South Seas,”Map ExhibitTo assist those seeing the film tograsp its locale, the Society has ar¬ranged a map exhibit of this region,together with notes on the filming ofthe picture and on the inhabitants ofthe country. Maps have been lentthrough the courtesy of the Geogra¬phy department, while other data hasbeen suggested by the Museum of.Modem Art in New York and by theOriental Institute.‘'Grass,’’ with which the Societycloses its current series, is the firstdefinite educational film to be present¬ed by the organization. gPbe Batlp iWiaroonVol. 38 Z-149 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1937 Price Five CentsThree Speakers Attack JohnsonEducational Plan at ASU MeetingMinimizing the educational aspect,of the proposed John.son plan for vo¬cational education, three speakers atan ASU-sponsored symposium on theplan stres.sed the predominate politi¬cal cast of the scheme. Dr. John A.Lapp, who chairmanned the meeting,pointed out that the plan was notreally vocational training as under¬stood by him as one of the framersof the Smith-Hughes Bill. All threespeakers attacked the plan.Progressive Political ActionThe necessity for political actionin support of a progressive, anti¬machine program was brought for¬ward by Mrs. Raymond Knapp andRabbi Joshua Loth Liebman. Callingattention to possible work to be donebefore the primaries next year, Mrs.Knapp stated that education was aPulse FeaturesReligious SurveyAppearing tomorrow, the fourth .issue of Pul.se w’ill carry beneath ibright-colored covers 1) the sugges- ,tion that President Hutchins recent Icontribution to the Saturday Evening jPost reveals almost too great a de- iparture from the style of his otherwork. 2) a reasonably religious sur¬vey of religion on the campus, 3) a icareful eulogy of Cody Pfanstiehl,who columned for the Daily Maroon,4) the usually diverting if hearsay j social problems thatsidelights on University personalities,5) a news review of sports, campuspolitics and activities.

The role of the high schoolin preparing future citizens is parti¬cularly important, he said, since the1 high school students are the “cream”! of the voting population. He advocated' some measure of vocational instruc-I tion, but reiterated the point madeI by the other speakers that the routine.semi-skilled labor required in modern, industrial processes necessitates no' special instruction and that special-j ized training quickly grows uselessI in the rapid changes of modern' technology. Education in the highI schools should prepare the student to\ take advantage of the growingamount of leisure that these techno¬logical advances will provide. Thisshould include literary studies andsome expression in the arts—that is,those things that indu.stiy cannotprovide.The other function of the highschool in preparing students for cit¬izenship is to give some basic aware¬ness of the political, economic andwill confronthim. This cannot be accomplished, hei concluded, without fi’eeing the individ-I ual teacher to state these problemsi and his conclusions as his training! indicates.Ida Noyes Staff andCouncil Invites Campusto Annual Christmas TeaRenaissance Society Displays WaterColors by Contemporary ArtistBy LILLIANThe exhibit of water color studies!by the late Florence Robinson pre-, self to landscape motives,'cnted by the Renaissance Society in defiinite ability with respect to life I The staff and Advisory Council ofIda Noyes hall will hold their annualChri.stmas tea in the library and' lounge of Ida Noyes from 4 until 6! on Friday.j Although special invitations are be.I ing sent to those whose names werej submitted by members of the staffI and Advi.sory Council, Helen Bell, as-I sistant director of the hall, made itclear that all students and facultyBERLINER I members on campus are invited.Although the artist restricted her-, ^ ceiling-high Christmas tree has® been ordered for the lobby in honorWeiboldt hall is a pleasing and wel- drawings.

First, the “King Bull” maybe the most powerful slinger youknow or the one most likely to seered. Also sought for are the Bullmost in need of a “cow” and the Bullmost easily led around by the nose.Anyone failing to fulfill thesequalifications may come in under theheading of the Bull with the thickesthide or the Bull with the loudest bel¬low.Survivor Tells of His Experienceof Japanese Bombs on S.

HooverThe Greek Women’s UniversityClub will present Ismene Papageorge,talented young pianist, in a concertSunday afternoon, December 19, inInternational House at 3:30.Papageorge, graduate of RosaryCollege, has studied in Fribourg,Switzerland, and is the pupil of thedistinguished pianist, Roumelle RichHawkins.A reception will follow the concert.Admission is 60 cents.Discuss Club RushingWith Freshmen Women As newspaper accounts of the mostrecent Japanese atrocity arouse thecampus, John Kulik, former messmanon the S. S. President Hoover,brought first-hand information ofthe S. S. Hoover’s bombing in Shang¬hai harbor, August 30. “I was belowdeck when it happened,” he said witha Thank-the-Good-Lord expression,“though I was knocked down and waspretty weak for a while, I’m not suf¬fering any ill effects now.”Kulik knows no moi’e about the$200,000 destructive incident than wehave gleaned from the press, merelyreiterating the fact that the Chinesemistook the Hoover for a JapaneseI ship. “We knew that something washappening before the war started,”he declared, “because the Japanesehad been transporting troops andsupplies a long time before it broke.”Before the Hoover was attacked itcarried about 900 refugees fromShanghai to Manila, during which |Kulik observed no hand-to-hand fight- |ing. ITo him, extreme poverty is the IOrient’s most outstanding character¬istic. Because they have no homes,the starving poor must huddle in thestreets at night. “Both my visits tothe Orient have caused me to concludethat China’s condition is much worsethan Japan’s. In Japan they seemmore comfortable.” While Chinesechildren shiver in tatters, the Japan¬ ese tots display the militant tendencyby wearing uniforms to school.“Hong Kong is the best city inthe world to buy anything, because,”he explained, “it is a duty-free port,but Manila is the dullest and drab¬best place I’ve ever visited.” TheOrient holds little appeal for Kulik,perhaps because the only girls Mar¬ines meet are hostess girls. “WeMarines have to kind of keep to our¬selves in a foi’eign port,” he re¬marked. “The other travelers sort oflook down on us.”Kulik’s finishing the last lap of hisjourney to his home in New YorkCity from the San Francisco Marinehospital, where he has been confinedwhile recovering from his wounds oflast fall. As the guest of GeorgeGolinkin, he roamed campus yester¬day, attempting to acquire a littlefree education.In order to illuminate the clubsituation, the Inter-Club Council an-former ’i^'unces an open meeting for allfreshmen interested in joining a clubTuesday afternoon, January 4, at4:30 in Ida Noyes theatre.Club presidents will completely ex¬pose rushing rules and discuss anyquestions raised by prospective' pledges.

A chastened president.7. Reform of Blackfriors.Social CommitteeAppointmentsBob Eckhouse, this year’s chairman of theSocial Committee, has grand ideas for the re¬suscitation of campus society. For the firsttime in years, the chairman of the Social Com¬mittee is something more than a smoothiepushed into office by fraternity backing. Eck¬house has plans for bringing social activitiesback to the campus- It is even rumored that hewill hold the Washington Prom on Universitypremises in an effort to make it possible fora larger number of students to attend. Alreadyhe has planned the C-Esta, which, if successful,will start a line of on-campus dances.But the rest of the committee is unregen¬erate. It stems exclusively from the fraternity-club circle, and the two “independent” repre¬sentatives, Joe Baer and Ed Faust, are as mucha part of that social clique as any fraternitymember. At a meeting last week the Commit¬tee selected juniors to assist with the Washing¬ton Prom, in other words selected the Commit¬tee for next year. Every one was a sterlingrepresentative of the fraternity-club circle. Notonly so, but they represented an ultra-exclusiveclique in that general group. Martin Miller,Bill Webbe, Harold Miles, Judith Cunninghamand James Goldsmith all have the backing ofpowerful fraternities or clubs. No others arepermitted to enter the charmed circle of thedirectors of campus social life.The role of Bob Eckhouse in this frustra¬tion of his ideal of an inclusive campus com¬munity is not clear. He has got his fraternitybrother Goldsmith, safely on the docket fornext year’s committee, not without some oppo¬sition. Yet he is not one to betray his idea forfraternity politics. Rather he seems to have letthe dead weight of the Committee pull him toconformity, consented to the entrenchment ofthe same old group in the Social Committee,though it is a certainty that the fraternity cir¬cle alone can never rebuild the campus commun¬ity. A Social Committee which refuses to recog¬nize the real independents can never achieveEckhouse’s aims.At the same time it is foolish to take on asingle independent, who can represent only him¬self, and drag no others with him into campusaffairs- What the committee should do is totake on representatives of the political groupsof the campus. These groups represent the or¬ganized antithesis of the fraternity group, theantithesis which must by synthesized if a cam¬pus community is to be created.But the Committee is not interested.Vol. 38 DECEMBER 15, 1937 No. 43(EljT BailyFOUNDED IN 1901>Iemb«*r Associated Collegiate PressThe Daily Maroon in the official student news(>aper of the Uni¬versity of Chicago, published mornings except Saturday, Sunday.Monday during the Autumn, Winter, and Spring quarters byThe Daily Maroon Company, 6831 University avenue.

That %vas a masterful strokeof necessary discipline unwillingly (I could see it inyour eye. Butch) meted out by the University’s ablestadministrator. Of course, I had the approval of mydepartmental adviser and had passed the Bachelor sexamination gpven by the Physiology department. But,thank goodness, you didn’t let me do anything so ig¬noble as to graduate only with the approval of my de¬partment and the Registrar. It would have been posi¬tively dishonest, wouldn’t it? But besides my heartfeltadmiration for your morals. Butch, I have the greatestadmiration for your logic.If you didn’t know that I was taking the propercourses two years ago, you couldn’t possibly know thatI have now passed all the proper courses, could you,Butch? There is a sequitur worthy of a Dean of theMedical School if I ever saw one.I am penitent now' and applaud your action becauseI am touched by the fatherly interest you have takenin my w’elfare. I can just .see you, you dear old man,fretting every day for the past two years in your bar¬ren office because of worry and anguish about whetherI w-as taking the right courses or not. People who willignore their Deans and will not read the Handbook tofind out all the little rules intended to make Deans themost important persons in the University, should beheavily punished. I’m sure it takes years off a Dean’slife when he is cruelly ignored.I now realize that my punishment for not having.sought your friendly advice two years ago is hardlysufficient. You shouldn’t let me graduate next quar¬ter, even though I>ean Works has said that I may do so,for after all, next quarter I will not have given youmy program two years ago. In fact, I suggest youpostpone my graduation several more quarters or pos¬sibly I should start over in the Physiology department.With your kindly advice every day, I am sure I wouldbe inspired to make A’s right straight through. I swear,I would lean very heavily on your advice. .A,fter all.I’m ju.st a poor helpless woman in nee<l of a greatman’s little kindnesses. Perhaps, your friendly inter¬est would help me take the courses in the proper order.This W’ould, of course, necessitate my taking them allat once, since your firm, friendly hand has now madethe Physiology an adjunct for the convenience of theMedical School. But with the pure inspiration of yourstrong guidance. Butch, I am sure I could manage that.With your kind help I have now’ learned the truevalue of being a conformer and a reader of regula¬tions. In fact, in the future my chief source of literaryknowledge will be your admirable regulations a.s printedin the Handbook and I shall revel in your greater glorythereby attained. You have taught me the absurdityof believing in the greatnes.ss and integrity of the menwho greeted me upon my arrival here and said, “Hereyou will find a new intellectual freedom.’’ You havetaught me that men may mouth great ideas but theydon’t act in accord with them. I can’t thank youenough.So I want to apologize, too, for being misled by theUniversity’s propaganda department into thinking wewere free of technicalities. Just between Dean andpupil, We know that the new plan means nothing inthe Divisions, don’t we. Butch? Besides, every littleslam at the spirit of the “New” Plan is a slam at thehigher administrators and President Hutchins. I do sosympathize %vith you conservers of the “greatness ofthe University.’’ Mr. Hutchins and .some of your su¬periors are so impolite, so heedless, so confoundedlyimpudent to you tired old men, struggling for yourvested rights in technicalities. I think technicalitiesare W’onderful, Butch, perfectly fascinating.Yours for more of them,LILLIAN SCHOEN.It TakesALL KINDS OF PEOPLE Elementary French Student ReadsMore as Result of New MethodsSeventy-five pages of French isthe amount read by the average first-year French student in high-schoolsand colleges throughout the country,according to the Modern LanguageSurvey of 1926. Probably at no schoolin the country does such a studentread as much as a thousand pages,according to Otto F. Bond, chairmanof French and Spanish in the Col¬lege.However, at the University hereads more than 2,500 pages.This amazing difference is due torevolutionary methods of languageteaching which have been developedin recent years by the faculty of theCollege Romance Languages depart¬ment, under Professor Bond.Moat ImportantMost important perhaps is the de¬velopment of a series of 58-pagebooklets, giving reading practice.Each one contains about 9,000 words,30 per cent of which are new to thestudent and 70 per cent of whichhave already been learned.The first booklet presents the mostcommonly used words, the .second thenext most common words, and so on,according to a carefully prepared listof w’ord-frequency. Students are alsointroduced to sentence forms andtenses gradually.Five Booklets PublishedOnly five of the booklets have beenpublished so far, the fifth having ap¬peared in October. It w’as a somewhatsimplified version of Zola’s “L’Atta-que du Moulin.” The next one, anexcerpt from Dumas' “Twenty YearsAfter,” w’ill appear probably nextyear.Another impoi'tant change is thereduction of the time spent in learn¬ing grammar, from the year custom¬ary in most schools to 16 lessons.When Professor Bond revises his al¬ready thin textbook of grammarsoon, he plans to cut this time stillfurther to 10 class hours.Kea.sons for SavingThis .saving is made possible by the fact that at the University grammaris taught only for purposes of read-ing. Students learn to write directlyfrom speaking practice. All sentencesin French have been reduced to 42diffei-ent “patterns,” although event¬ually the number may have to set atabout 50, Professor Bond declared.Each pattern is a certain combinationof forms of speech. For instance,“She sings,” is an example of thesimplest one, and “She sings a song,”is a slightly more complex one. .4nynumber of sentences may be made byusing similar combinations. The stu¬dent learns these pattems by con¬stant repetition and thus acquires aknowledge of grammar unconscious¬ly.YOUR NEARESTSERVICE STATIONWEDNESDAY ONLY—Dec»mb«r 15JANE WYMAN DICK PURCELLIn"PUBLIC WEDDING"FEATURE NO. 2NOAH BEERY JR.In"TROUBLE AT MIDNIGHT"LADIES DISH DAYThur*.-Fri.-SoL—D»c. 16-17.10GARY COOPER FRANaS DEEIN "SOULS AT SEA"FEATURE NO. 2WARNER BAXTER LORETTA YOUNGIN "WIFE, DOCTOR AND NURSE"FREE One-Half pound box of deliciousCondy to the fust 800 Kiddies attend¬ing our SAT.

The Crossley ratings, whichare u.sed in Variety and other amuse¬ment trade papers, are made by anation-w’ide check-up.A tentative check showed that 71per cent of all radio sets in theUnited States are within the rangeof .stations carrying the program, andthat 2 i)er cent of these sets are tunedin on it.Lettersto the EditorF,ditor,The Daily Maroon;While the ASU executive commit¬tee cannot legally disapprove of or¬ganized attempts to support minor¬ity slates for election to the nationalconvention, there are certain issuesraksed by the letter sent out to themembership by the Fourth Interna¬tionalist Socialist Club which shouldbe cleared up. The intimation through¬out this letter is that the action takento obtain a re-election of delegateswas a maneuver of the Young Com¬munist League.This assumption is completelyerroneous. Feeling that the slateelected was over-representative ofcommunists to the exclusion of mostof the liberal membership not presentat the meeting, the ASU executivecommittee unanimously decided torecommend a new' election.We feel that we have the right toask the Fourth Internationalists ifthe a.ssumption of the identity of theASU executive committee with theY('L w’hich underlies their letter im¬plies an impeachment of the commit¬tee..\SU Executive Committee.Campus Florist1233 E. 55th near EimborkPoinsettias andChristmas Plants—Reasonable Now—Gardenia Corsages$1.00 & up DeliveredPhoneHyde Park 9414AN EXCELLENT XMAS GIFT FOR THE ROOM-MATE!THIS PIPE WITHMVOTMEIAT^ PlltCtl ■ nvuwK •» • ..M— — f. jhurt biwy«»« root (only I oot of 75 bowUU perfect enough for Certified) . vlu-curMto give a cool, iweet smoke from the first puS... and beautifully finished.Your Stineway alore has Certified Purex—also a complete line of other PurexPipes. $1 and $1.50STINEWAY DRUGS57TH AND KENWOOD MEETINGSArrian.

Store Open EveningsPage Four THE DAILY MAROON, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1937Hot Shots-By ROBERT FITZGERALDSeveral things were outstanding inlast Saturday’s win over Marquette.But, mainly, there was a real TEAMon the floor, functioning methodicallyfrom the opening minutes of thegame, and confident of a win. We didbeat Marquette—one of the leadingteams in the country—and we gavethem a decisive licking which willsound a warning note around theConference.♦ * ♦Saturday night Chicago could havebeaten anyone they were playing.Not that they were playing over theirheads, but they were just showingthe kind of ball they are capable ofplaying. The new combination, withEggy at guard, seems to be the mosteffective that Chicago has been ableto put on a basketball floor for manyyears. As a forward, Eggy washurrying his shots, and, consequently,was not getting his percentage. Atypical Indian shooter who must beset before he can hit the hoop, he isnow in a spot where he can shootmore accurately and more effective¬ly. Not only was his offense as itshould have been, but his defense wasoutstanding all through the game.Lounsbury came through with pointswhen they were needed the most. Hisfight and determination in both hisshooting and floor play were notice¬able throughout the game. He's oneboy who is going places in a big way in the basketball world. And, remem¬ber, he’s only a sophomore! Petersenplayed his always stellar game atguard, as well as keeping the teamout of the rafters and down on thefloor to play the game. Although headded comparatively few points to thescore, his leadership in both the de¬fense and offense was the outstandingfeature of the game.Mullins was his same bulldog self.He reminds me of a mean little kidwho enjoys running around the floorand getting into the opposition’s hairto upsetting anything that they mighttry to accomplish. Cassels, while hedidn’t shoot as much as he could have,was important to the offense withhis deceptive passing and ability tobe at the right place at the righttime. And, he can still fall downgracefully!* * *The regulars this year are far a-bove average, but let’s not forget thereserve strength. For the first timein many years the reserves are noweak links, but can nobly fill theshoes of the regulars. Because of thetype of play this year, it is almosta necessity that there be plenty ofreserves. We have them. And, wehave a helluva good team which hasmade the so-called bigwigs of theConference sit up and take notice.We, as spectatoi's, should get be¬hind this team throughout the sea¬son with the same spirit shown inthe stands during the game last Sat¬urday.HANLEY’SBUFFET1512 EAST 55th ST.li you wemt collo^a tongs—li you wont "Collogiatt" Atmosphere—li you wont to see your friends—You ore assured of such cm evening atHANLEY’SOVER FORTY YEARS OF CONGENIALSERVICE SPECIAL STUDENTLUNCHEON25cREGULAR LUNCHEON35cEVENDIG DINNERS40cDELICIOUS FOODWE ESPECTALLY CATER TO CLUBPARTIESFREE USE OF CARD ROOMMIRA MARDINING ROOM6212 Woodlown Are. Cassels Out WithKidney InjuryBob Cassels, outstanding Maroonforward, will be lost to the team forat least the next three games, it wasdiscovered yesterday when he con¬sulted Doctor Charles E. Shannon,team physician, in regard to a kidneyinjury. He is confined to Billings hos¬pital at the present time.Cassels presumably suffered thebruised kidney in the Marquettegame, but the injury did not becomenoticeable until yesterday. Also onthe injured list is Bob Bigelow, cen¬ter, who is now out with a twistedknee. The extent of his injury willnot be definitely known for severaldays. Harry 'Topping, guard, hasbeen on the l^nch since the beginningof the season with a broken wrist,and Bob Fitrgerald will not competeat all this year.
