Dr. A.Eustace Haydon, professor of Com¬parative Religion, will conduct theservices. On Fridayi morning thebody will be taken to Lansing, Michi->ran, the home of Meech’s parents.Business ProblemsProfessor Meech had a wide know¬ledge of the problems of business ad-ministration and had many conta^with leaders in this field. Being in¬terested mainly in the practical prob¬lems of finance rather than in theo¬ries of money and banking, he wasfor many years an investment andbusiness counselor and organized andtrained security sales forces. More¬over, he analyzed institutional andindividual investment programs andwas organizer and re-organizer inbanking and commerce.With J. O. Kinsey, Meech was au¬thor of “Controlling the Finance of aBusiness,” and is author of a seriesof pamphlets entitled “Manager’sAdministration of Finance.” He alsohas written many articles on phasesof financial administration, particu¬larly of banking. In addition Meechl)articipated in many of the Round¬table discussions under the au.spicesof the University Broadcasting Coun¬cil.Officials WeighWomen^s RightTo Cheer LeadBy ERNEST LEISERWill there be feminine cheer lead¬ers to lend their physical and moral>upport in urging the basketballteam on to victory? This is the press¬ing issue that confronts a campus a-waiting the outcome with batedbreath.In Tuesday’s Maroon, a story ap¬peared which announced that Intra¬mural Coach Wally Hebert, aided bythose "judges of pep and goodform,” Bob Fitzgerald, Ken Peter->en, and Ralph Leach, would selectcheer leaders of the weaker sex, whowith their pulchritude and fightingspirit, would lead Chicago’s hopefulsijuad on to glorious victory.Hebert’s AngerWhen a reporter walked into He¬bert’s office, he almost had his headtaken off by a flurry of verbal abuse.Hebert had known nothing of thel)art he was to play in the enthusias¬tic scheme, until he had been calledup by downtown newspapers whowondered if he would submit to beingphotographed with the other judges..Moreover, Dean Works had calledhim up and had let him know thatthe administration did not approve ofsuch a scheme—that it would lowerthe dignity of the campus—and a-gain moreover Coach Nels Norgren,basketball mentor, approved the“spontaneous” cheering that was soinspiring at the Marquette contest.But powerful forces were at workto get the move under way. Althoughin their enthusiasm, they had for¬gotten to let Coach Hebert know oftheir plans, they were still all for it.They called up Dean Works, who re¬peated that he had not said that hewould put his foot down on the newidea.By this time several prospectiveglamor girls had dropped in to theMaroon office to ask if their serviceswould be of any use. The move hadgained an impetus which was un¬stoppable.No Girl LeadersBut yesterday afternoon, a callWas received from the office of the.Athletic Director. There would be nogirl cheer leaders!Still, the administration had notput its official foot down on the plan.And we remind any students whomight be interested that C Booksmay be purchased for the remainderof the school year for three dollars. gPbe Batty iHanionVol. 38 Z-149 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1937 Price Five CentsChapel Union Plans“ Bring A Friend ”Party, Dunes OutingThe chapel Union has announcedits program of activities for the Win¬ter quarter.The first Sunday of the quarter,January 9, will be the occasion for ageneral meeting of-the Chapel Unionand has been designated “Bring aFriend” night.

There areonly 21, a number easily topped byHarvard with 103, Yale with ’79, Ox¬ford with 62, and Columbia with 58.The booklet states that the aim ofthe University is to raise the numberto at least 50, in order to give ade¬quate recognition to famous profes¬sors.Committee DiscussesCurriculum, WelfareThe committee which has been or¬ganized to formulate plans for a con¬vention to improve the condition ofthe campus community will hold itsfourth meeting Friday. At this meet¬ing they will discuss the advantagesof including student curriculum andstudent welfare as well as social ac¬tivities in the convention resolutions.The convention will be held duringFebruary and will extend for severaldays. Included in the present plansfor the convention is a party whichwill be given by campus activities.Further plans will be announced nextweek by the committee chairman,John Morris. Pictures and short biographies ofall present holders of endow^ posts,as well as write-ups of the people forwhom the professorships were named,are included.

Abolition of intercoUegiole athletics.3. Establishment of the Political Union.4. Progressive politics.5. Revision of the College Plcm.S. A chastened prf^dent,?. Reform of BlackMors.War and PeaceColonel Knox has fearlessly sounded thetrumpet. He is for stepping on Japan’s toes,for crushing them with rolling caissons if nec¬essary. In a front page editorial in the DailyNews yesterday he recommends “the strongestpossible measures to convince the Japanese oftheir error.”He doesn’t want war, but he wants to beready to fight. He is quite willing to sacrificethe tolerance and liberty of the past in orderto defend the honor of the c^ untry, a countrysuffering from the insult of a sunken gunboatin the theater of a bitter war. He says so him¬self. Japan goes too far, and “It (by which hemeans the United States) loses its easy-goingtolerance; domestic w^orries and concerns arefoi^otten; political partisanship is adjourned;ranks are closed up; the nation faces a possi¬ble foe, united behind its chosen leader—readyfor what comes.” This is a perfect descriptionof the oncoming of ruthless totalitarianismwith war, and it is what would happen in caseof another war.The war dance is beginning with a ven¬geance. Perhaps the motions will scare Japaninto being careful and paying for the Paynay,but it will certainly make it easier for the coun¬try to join the fray w’hen war does break out.Pacifism still has its points, despite thetirades of patriots like Knox and communistslike the ASU majority. The patriots would savethe honor and prestige of the country at anycost, would even destroy the institutions of thecountry and the economy of the world if nec¬essary. National prestige weighs lightly in thebalance against the preservation of civilization-The communist argument that we must beprepared to fight against world fascism in or¬der to preserve civilization appears more soundon the surface. But it is well to pause andconsider what fascism is and how it arises.Fascism is a form of government which ariseswhen the people of a country are in a certainpsychological state, a state of unsureness, be¬wilderment, uneasiness. Fascism offers an ob¬ject for faith and unquestioning devotion in theleader, and the people accept the psychologicalcertainty the new government gives them andwelcome it. If fascism is a bad thing, crushingindividuality, independence, culture, and allthat is worth w’hile in human life, it is to bechecked, but not by engaging in war againstthe fascist countries, as the communists wouldhave us do; rather by removing the uneasinessof the people, if that is possible; by holdingback on the drift toward “fuerher-princip” notby setting up an opposition fuerher, or engag¬ing in a war, like the communists, but by re¬fusing to join any such movement and point¬ ing boldly to the destruction such a trendmeans to liberty.The stresses and strains of modern life aresuch that a war will certainly mean a totali¬tarian state; the strains and stresses of postwar reconstruction in a shattered world are sogreat that it is almost a dead certainty thattotalitarianism and authority will have to re¬main in order to maintain social order. Thehistory of post-war Germany’s efforts to liveunder a democracy should be sufficient evi¬dence of this.Yet communists—“to check fascist aggres¬sion”—and jmtriots—“to defend national hon¬or”—are willing to risk war now, not realizingthat the one arises from within, the other isnot worth throwing civilization away for. Trulythe dizzy dance of death is beginning when menso delude themselves.Northwestern's ChanceWe see by the impers that NorthwesternUniversity has inherit^ a racing stable. It isa God-given chance for our neighbors to leadthe way out of the present athletic mess bysubstituting horses for football players, racetracks for gridirons. It is a chance to take thelead in American educational circles, a chancethrown away on NU because it has a vested in¬terest in the status quo, because it has a goodfootball team.

Last week he phoned the business office, croak¬ed in a husky cold beladen voice that after two yearsof braving Midway winds, he finally succumbed... hedidn’t know' when he’d be back ... in fact, (with spirit)he might even jaunt southward for the cure...Which makes two new'sboys that the Maroon ha.sloved and lost. The first was a frail, blue-eyed Irish¬man of the patron saint variety who bore the alias“New York Jim”...who managed to endear himselfeven to granite-hearted managers (no mean task) withhis perpetual bright-eyed cheeriness.But, accompanied by genuine campus regret, Jimdied...and Tom was induced to desert his father’sslowly collapsing tailor shop to add his melancholy,morose note to the calling of “Daily Maroon.”Determined to see a happy ending to the story, withpencil poised in best girl reporter style, we archly ask¬ed Mr. Hoy, business manager—^“And who will replaceTom?” "God only knows” said Hoy glumly. We certain¬ly hope he does.APOLOGIES ARE IN ORDERfor all those who, wdth injured tone, reproachful eyeand threatening attitude rebuke us for inaccuracy.First there was Ed Opperman.

Themechanical communist majority pres¬ent at the December 9 meeting dom-mated the entire group and, in spiteof the profound differences manifes¬ted in the war question and the ques¬tion of political action, refused topermit the elections to be held onthe basis of the Hare system of vot¬ing. Proceeding from this action,they went on to elect at least 15conimunists plus 3 known sympa¬thizers from a list of 25 delegates.Only one single delegate of the oppos¬ing point of view w'as elected, despitethe fact that the opposition hadpolled a consistent average of 35 outof So to 90 votes. Thus, for all prac¬tical purposes, .some 50 odd membersout of 270, elected 24 delegates. Thecall for a re-vote reflected, in ouropinion, the indignation of the rankand tile against this abuse of power.The actual form of the re-vote indi¬cates a hasty attempt of the Com¬munist-controlled executive committee(tigures available upon request) tocover its tyrannical action. Two-thirdsof the liberal membership, whose at¬tendance was admittedly not proper¬ly solicited, arc asked to vote by mailfor delegates with no opportunity tohear the stand they take on the burn¬ing questions facing tht ASU.The .ASU exec asks if we implytheir impeachment. We do not putthe matter in that fashion. But wedo have legitimate grievances againstthe exec on two counts.1) The Communists control theASU exec by a majority of members•ind known close sympathizers. Itshould be pointed out that this com¬mittee wa!\ elected at an even lessrepresentative gathering than theOecember 9 meeting.2) The committee has been ineptand has tried to lop off a whole sec¬tion of the membership from parti¬cipation (Socialists and their sympa-thi7.ers). This is reflected in the de¬cline of membership in the organi¬zation and the poor attendance atmeetings and, most important, by thespectacle of a mechanical Communistmajority dominating the most impor¬tant meeting of the year. The.oecharges cannot be doubted becausethe exec is admittedly responsible forthe.so shortcomings (cf. exec letterto the membership).We can only close by appealing formore democratic participation of themembership in the policy making ofthe .ASU and an end to the factionaldomination of one political tendency.Socialist Club (4th International)Kditor,The Daily Maroon:.All those interested in the Amer¬ican Student Union should note withsorrow that there is a dominant groupin the .ASU which apparently is ableto do as it pleases. This group bung¬led on Thursday, regretted by Sat¬urday, reversed itself on Sunday, andon Monday expects the ASU to ap¬plaud its benevolent bureaucratism. Ithas not yet realized that unless allthe progressive students are enabledactively to participate in the work ofthe organization, it will cease to beanything more than a tool of thatgroup.It should be clear that the cau.sesfor the present unrepresentative dele¬gation cannot be eradicated by thenew mail vote. What is needed is afundamental change in attitude to¬ward other elements in the organiza¬tion—a change which is unfortun¬ately not yet in evidence.Martin Cohen, Presidentof Socialist (3ub.Invite All StudentsTo Aid in Carolling•All tho.se adventurous persons im¬bued with the spirit of Christmas areinvited to join in Christmas carollingFriday afternoon and evening.The group will meet at Ida Noyesat 4 and sing carols during theChristmas Tea, perhaps wanderingover to the Clinics.In the evening the carollers willagain go forth and, after meeting atIda ^oyes at 7:30 will make therounds, singing under windows andgenerally making themselves known.Leading carollers will be John Vande Water and Caroline Zimmerly.

DECEMBER 16, 1937Handball AspirantsForm Club TeamHebert Announces PlacesOpen to All Men in Resi¬dence.Intramural Coach Wally Hebertyesterday announced that the hand¬ball enthusiasts would soon form aclub team, similar to that of lastyear, rather than the Varsity squadthat was originally announced. Thismeans that any man in residencemay compete for a position on thesquad.The team which last year playedIllinois, Notre Dame, and several lo¬cal YMCA’s, will be composed of JackGilbert, Psi U; Paul MacLean of thefaculty; George Kolar, a Phi Delt;and Soilie Sherman, Maroon footballstar, and Phi Sig. The leading sub¬stitutes at present are Bert Meyer,•William Krause, Jerome Spitzer, andEverett Askew.Independent players and organiza¬tions interested in playing intramuralhandball should turn in entries eitherat the handball court or at the Intra¬mural office before the end of thefall quarter. Drawings will be madethen, and the tournament will beginin the first week of the winter quar¬ter.Maroon Apologizes 'for Misquotation ofHutchins’ StatementIn an article in The Daily Maroonon December 7, President Robert M.Hutchins was quoted as saying inThe Negro Defender that the Uni¬versity supports neighborhood organ¬izations “because he feels that mostof their work is desirable and it isonly a good neighbor attitude tohelp them, although they fight hous¬ing developments.”The Maroon wishes to apologize forthe implication that Hutchins accusedneighborhood property owners’ groupsof campaigning against the Negrohousing project. His direct statementwas that the University supportscommunity efforts to make the areaa more desirable place of residence“as a good neighbor but it does notattempt to dictate policies as a con¬dition of its support.”The evidence for saying that theselocal policies Iticlude a blocking ofthe South Parkway Gardens projectis taken from no statement of thePresident’s, but from a series of ar¬ticles in People’s Press. Faculty, Students Gather at IdaNoyes for Modern Folk DancinyBy MARY-ELIZABETH GRENANDERWeary bridge fans for whom con¬tract has lost its appeal might wellfind relief in a group such as thatwhich meets weekly on Wednesdaynights in Ida Noyes hall to partici¬pate in folk dances.The folk-dancing idea was conceivedtwo years ago by Professor ArthurC. McGiffert of the Chicago Theo¬logical Seminary, and the nucleus ofthe present group was formed. Lastyear the meetings lapsed, but theywere recently revived and are nowgoing on at full tilt.Although an interesting feature ofthe meetings is the number of facultymembers who attend, membership inthe group is not confined to scholars.Friends of the members, neighbor¬hood groups who are interested inthe idea, and students all participate.Professor McGiffert, Robert S. Platt,associate professor of Geography,Paul H. Douglas, professor of Eco¬nomics, and Mrs. Douglas, ProfessorRobert M. Redfield, dean of the divi¬sion of the Social Sciences, and Mrs.Redfield, and Mr. and Mrs. CharlesLytle are among those who meet ev¬ery Wednesday night for folk danc¬ing.Int-House ForumDiscusses FranceThe International House Forumwill broadcast a roundtable discus¬sion of the “Foreigfn Policy ofFrance” Saturday afternoon at 3.WGN is the outlet and the broadcastmay be heard in Room CDE of In¬ternational House.Those on the symposium will beRobert Clements, Edouard Roditiand George Senutovitch. Clements isan American in the Romance Lan¬guage department of the College.Roditi and Senutovitch are residentsof France.The foreign policy of France hasnot been previously discussed thisyear on the International Houseroundtable. Despite Louis Wirth’s statement ina Social Science I lecture severalweeks ago to the effect that folk¬dancing cannot be taught, the grouplearned its steps under the instruc¬tion of a Dane, who furnishes ac¬cordion music for the group, nowable to dispense with his services asa teacher. Its repertoire includessome 10 to 12 Danish folk dances, al¬though the group has never put onan exhibition.Asked if the folk-dancers got stiff,Professor Redfield replied, “We vet¬erans don’t,” then added whimsical¬ly, “novices do though.” Furtherquestioning revealed that he was a-mazed that anyone could see anythingnovel in what he evidently regardsas a not unusual form of recreation,although perhaps practiced morewidely in Europe than in the UnitedStates. He characterizes the group asbeing quite without formal organiza¬tion, just a number of people gettingtogether for the fun of it.Freshmen Get FinancialAid From SophomoresThe class of 1941 may have de¬feated the sophomores in a tug of warand may have thought themselves asuperior group of students but whenin need they still have to run to thesophomores for help.After the last musical strains ofthe Freshman dance Friday nighthad died away, the sponsors discov¬ered much to their dismay that there Ballwehber WritesSocial Dance BookThun.-Fri.-Sat—Dec. 16-17-18GARY COOPER.
