Creation of a vigorous campus community.2. Abolition of intercollegiate athletics.3. Establishment of the Political Union.4. Progressive politics.5. Revision of the College Plan.6. A chastened president.Education and Politics—The haunting specter of modern politics isruthless totalitarianism. It rises from an at¬tempt of the government to satisfy the demandfor security, security of goods and security ofmind alike. The avoidance, or at least post¬ponement of totalitarian night, depends uponeducation, and education depends upon us.The search for security of goods is boundto be frustrated, in my judgment. The com¬plexity and changeability of the economic ma¬chine is so great that neither its chance opera¬tion, as at present, nor its intelligent adminis¬tration can provide economic security. Intelli¬gent direction, at first sight so promising, runsonto the rock of bureaucratic inefficiency anddishonesty—just imagine men like Mayor Kellymanaging the economic life of Chicago. Thisis the argument we have traced in the last fewweeks of the fall quarter-But security of mind is another matter, andit is the function of education to provide it, ifit is to be provided. The proper end of a col¬lege education is an understanding of theworld, society and man, which will be sufficient¬ly near reality that the student will be able togain sustenance and strength from an under¬standing of the phenomena he meets. The shat¬tering effect of the disintegration of inade¬quate beliefs and understandings when facedwith individual experience is measured by thesuicide rate. One can suffer disaster with easeand even a sense of exhilaration if one isbuoyed up by an understanding of the forceswhich crush you. Only buttressed with aninner strength rising from an adequate under¬standing of the world can one become immuneto the false certainty of fascism or socialism.The problem then is simply to find an ade¬quate synthesis of the knowledge about thenature of the world, society, and man, and thento teach it.Quite a task it is that hides in these fewwords. It is the task which President Hutchinshas set himself and American education ingeneral. It is the task which the faculty shouldhave set itself, and has not. It is the task which -the Maroon sets itself for the coming fewweeks, not presuming that the positions wetake are final or even correct, but believingthat this problem is the most pressing in edu¬cation and that discussion of it belongs in everycollege paper.Vol. 38 JANUARY 4, 1938 No. 46FOUNDED IN 1901Member Associated Collegiate PressThe Daily Maroon is the official student newspaper of the Uni¬versity of Chicago, published mornings except Saturday, Sunday,and Monday during the Autumn, Winter, and Spring quarters byThe Daily Maroon Company, 6831 University avenue.

Howsignificant a result it will be depends on thegood faith and disinterestedness of the presentBoard of Superiors and their successors. Noinstitutional set-up can make men honest, andno institutional front is incapable of being gotaround.The selections for junior manager positionsshow the difficulty of making an organization’sslate clean. Only men from the old fraternities—Psi U, Chi Psi, Sigma Chi, Kappa Sig, Phi Psi—tried out for junior manager positions, withthe addition of the Alpha Belts- One from eachfraternity was appointed. It is clear that meritwas not the only or perhaps even the chief con¬sideration in the selections. The selections weremade with an eye to public impression—thefraternity with the weakest hold on the organi¬zation was given the best job. It is from thejunior managers that next year’s Board ofSuperiors will be selected. Seemingly the newinstitutional form will mean a wider sharingof fraternity control rather than removal offraternity considerations from elections. Butthat is all one can expect as long as frater¬nities exist. The present Board has done asmuch toward reform as can be expected. THE CAMPUSSTORES forBOOKSGENERAL BOOKSTextbooksNew & Second HandSWEETNESS AND LIGHTBy LILUAN SCHOENDEAN BITES PRESIDENTWe learn with pleasure that after trying for sevenyears, the faculty, or at least one member thereof, hasfinally learned how to hit back at Mr. Hutchins and iwife. Dean Gilkey, this Christmas decided to fightfire with fire—he brought forth a sense of humor. EachChristmas the Hutchinses send out some 900 largeenvelopes containing a piece of cardboard with a few,usually very few’, lines on it. These cards are de¬livered to faculty houses, opened, and immediately con- [cealed behind the nearest and largest object in view.These are the Hutchins’ Christmas cards. This year’sedition carries a very naked angel, resembling in formand matter young Franja Hutchins, clad in two Christ¬mas candles. The faculty reacted as usual.

Before leavingthe house he armed himself with two very large candlesand the group descended on the house of the President.The august form of Hutchins revealed itself throughblinds, clad, unlike his angel, in an ample bathrobe.The carolers, with the Dean well in the background,sent one member forward, tw'o red candles in hand,arms stiffly to one side, feet spread wide apart—fullyclothed. The strains of “Adeste Fideles” resoundedthrough the air.Hutchins’ reaction was to turn out all the lights—“The better to see you, my dears.’’THE BOY COMMUNISTSeeing a large picture of Stalin placed in ye editor’slittle cubby-hole by affectionate staff members recallsthe occasion upon which Campbell Wilson had hisyoung sister, aged some twelve years, for lunch atInternational House. At the same table sat FrankMeyer, chief supporter—from a purely intellectualapproach—of the Cause. Miss Wilson carried on ananimated conversation with Mr. Meyer over the lunchtable and as brother and sister emerged from the din¬ing room Campbell asked, “Well, what do you think ofhaving lunch wdth a real live Communist?’’ “Com¬munist!” replied the youngster, “Mr. Meyer isn’t aCommunist.” “Of course he is,” said patient olderbrother. “Nonsense,” said she, “he can’t possibly bea Communist, he’s only a hoy!"

In a fiery orator¬ical heat he scored the idea thatsanctions could maintain peace.Thomas Speaks“Of all the Utopian beliefs,” hestated, “the most utopian is to thinkthat a little group of you can guidea capitalistic nation in a revolution¬ary war. The only hope of deliver¬ance is in that old slogan, “Workersof the world, unite!”Schuman, formerly on the Univer¬sity’s political science staff, assertedthat a complete collective securityprogram was the only way to peace,with defense, by arms, if necessary,of the values of liberal civilization.He advocated isolation of Fascistaggressors, a condition “impossiblewithout the use of force.”None of the speakers on the sym¬posium, however, represented thefinal position taken by the convention.Not sharing Schuman’s pessimism asto the possibility of staying out ofwar, the resolutions committee fav¬ored “immediate steps to restrainaggressor nations by contributingAmerica’s decisive influence in behalfof world peace.”Urge CollaborationThe resolution urged Americanleadership in naming aggressors, em¬ploying embargoes, and organizingthese efforts through internationalcollaboration. Also sought was re¬peal or modification of the presentNeutrality Act to allow discrimina¬tion between aggressor and attacked.Taking action on the resolution,delegates voted unanimously to boy¬cott Japan, and, led by Bud James,marched out of the convention hall toa bonfire in front of the dormitory.Boys tore off neckties even suspectedof being silk, contributing a good dealof rayon to the fire in the process,and girls rushed into their rooms tofeed the fire with silk stockings.Meanwhile they chanted “Make lislethe style, wear lisle awhile,” and “Ifyou wear cotton, Japan gets nottin.” The other hotly contested resolu¬tion was on political action, reading,“We urge that chapters ^ givenlocal autonomy to support politicalcandidates.” The measure was finallypassed by a large majority.Establish Fund forFrench ScholarshipsProviding for an award to be madeto a student who has been in resi¬dence in the college or a division forat least three quarters, who has com¬pleted at least three courses in Frenchat the divisional level, and who in¬tends to continue toward a degree inFrench, Cora and Lloyd Neff are thisyear establishing a scholarship fund.The award will be made annually.Members of the departmental com¬mittee in charge of the award areW.

Editor,The Daily Maroon:TYPEWRITER TALESIt can’t go to exams! Exams with¬out a typewriter! Poor, indefatigable,balky typewriter.Never ever banned by hotels, notonce turned down by porters, yetcoldly refused admittance to exams.What will this indispensable, super¬appendage of my fingers do with¬out me during exams?Of course my typewriter knowsnothing of local scholastic traditions.Yet it heard that once, and years ago,a single couple took an exam on itgreat-grandpa and great-grandma(with extra tariff for monitors) andthat since then no one has had theaudacity, the effrontery, the impu-dency to suggest a repetition of theincident.For years upon years it has scornedthose fanciers of penmanship —maintaining individualism in all itsactions, —and has recorded my everywritten word.And now they won’t let it in.How well my little clicker knows,that without it I can’t think, can’treason, can’t even remember. Andwhat is an exam without thosethings ?So with a tired clang of its belland a rusty clank of the spacer itputs forth its little plea:“Can’t we take exams on a type¬writer?”Alden C.

Here,no space is left. By the end of theyear it will be necessary to burstthrough the walls, or to stack books on the floor. As Culver is neitherwaterproof nor fireproof, the booksare in constant danger.Plans for a new book tower nearHarper have been approved, and willbe carried into effect as soon as suf¬ficient funds are found.Blackfriars-(Continued from page 1)in the efficient management of theOrder.”Formerly the abbot had almostcomplete control of the organization,in practice being treasurer althoughconstitutionally that power was vested in the hospitaller. Instead ofthe equal vote of the members of theBoard of Superiors in elections, theabbot had two votes and the priorhad none under the old constitution.The scribe used to be selected by theincoming abbot and prior, instead ofbeing elected generally as the newconstitution provides.The changes come as a result of thegeneral dissatisfaction with Black¬friars elections in the past, voiced inthe Maroon in an expose earlier inthe year.

Zoller Clinic Incorporates TrainingWith Research, Service, Objectives Dr. Wright Breeds Guinea Pigs; Gets RomanNoses, Sway Backs, Information on EvolutionUnusual among dental clinics forthe indigent, the Zoller dental cliniclocated in Billings hospital has asits primary aim the discovery of thecause and the best treatment of den¬tal disease. Dr. James R. Blayney,director of the clinic, feels that thegreatest good can come to the largestnumber through offering advancedtraining in both clinical dentistry andthe fundamental biological sciencesto recent dental graduates. Alsothrough obtaining additional know,ledge of the cause of oral disease,rather than merely serving the im¬mediate needs of a larger number ofpatients.Men, highly trained in other of thebiological sciences, such as Biochem¬istry and Bacteriolog^y do specializedwork having to do with the dentalapplication of their respective fields.Cases from Campus ClinicsOnly cases referred from other ofthe campus clinics are taken. Nooff-the-qampus cases are accepted. Athorough study is made into the his¬tory of each patient. Hence the pa¬tients are seen as a whole rather thanjust as a mouthful of teeth. Fre¬quent follow-up examinations aremade to find the value of the work.Although for the indigent, the clin¬ic supplies the finest material where-ever it is needed regardless of theexpense involved.Many medical authorities believethat the mouth is the focus of infec¬tion of many chronic degenerativediseases. The Zoller clinic is at¬tempting to find if this is true and ifso to what degree.Studies with pregnant women arebeing conducted with a view to as¬certaining if their diet and otherfactors have any effect on their chil¬dren.Zoller’s WillFounded one year ago through thewill of the late Walter G. Zoller, thefirst comprehensive undertaking wasthe investigation of dental caries ortooth decay. This disease has been known since the dawn of civilizationand although under investigation formany years, the cause has not beenfound.List RegulationsFor Membership InInternational HouseAll graduate and upper-class un¬dergraduate students attending anyaccredited college, university, or pro¬fessional school in the Chicago areaare eligible for membership in Inter¬national house.Membership may be either residentor non-resident.

C. There, for theten years preceding his coming tothe University in 1926, he worked inthe Bureau of Animal Industry inthe Department of Agriculture ontheoretical questions relating to thebreeding of livestock.This work consisted principally onthe effects of inbreeding, crossbreed¬ing and selection on gruinea pigs andtheoretical studies of the statisticalconsequences of Mendel ian hereditysubject to various systems of mating.Lines of PigsIn this work he originally had 23different lines of guinea pigs. Thesewere exclusively brother and sistermated. Some lines soon died outwhile others have been bred to 20 to40 generations. With constant in-breeding, each line came to be char¬acterized by its own peculiar com¬binations of traits. Some developedto be very active, others passive;some had Roman noses, others pugnoses; some had sway backs, othersstraight backs; and many other char¬acteristics. The history of these in-bred strains, and the results ofcrosses between them were related tothe statistical theory. An attempt was made to bring this theory tobear on problems of livestock im¬provement.Shifts EmphasisOn coming to the University, Dr.Wright shifted emphasis to the gen¬eral problem of evolution rather thanjust as applied to livestock. The ex¬perimental work with guinea pigs atpresent is directed toward the prob¬lem of physiological genetics.— LAST DAY TODAY —SHIRLEY TEMPLE"HEmr'PlusWARNER BAXTER, JOAN BENNETT"VOGUES OF IWI"Wadnasday & Thursday, Jaa.

Much depends onthe eligibility of Paul Amundsen,lanky center who was rapidly becom¬ing a polished performer at the closeof the last season. He was in uniformyesterday, though the results of hisexamination have not yet been an¬nounced.The Freshman basketball squad,reflecting the revived spirits of the Ivarsity team, started the new seasonright with a scrimmage on the first jday of practice. Though the turnoutwas comparatively small, Coach Kyle|Anderson appeared well satisfied, be-jcause of the showings of several new-^comers to the squad. iAnderson declined to comment on'the potentialities of the group becauseso many of the players had not yet^returned to campus, but his private ^opinion on the subject may be indi¬cated hy his decision to divide prac-jtice time between fundamentals andvarsity plays, so that the freshmen'will be able to step directly into var-jsity posts next year.Rest prospects on the Freshmansquad, according to advance dope, areDave Wiedemann, a guard whoprepped at Hyde Park; Bill Georgen,a forward whose eye seems to be in;;Joe Stampf of Calumet; and Walter,Conrad, a California boy.

On the club ladder.Freeman Morgan climbed to the top,dropping Hugh Bennett, former lead¬er, into second position. Bill Otisboosted himself to third and GeorgeMatousek held fourth. Hugh Ben¬nett retained his lead in the varsityladder while Glenn Slade climbed in¬to the second spot.

Nelson Metcalf that theyhad better get their winter quarterC-books as soon as possible if theywant to attend the basketball gameSaturday. In previous years holderswho waited until the night of a bas¬ketball game before getting theirbooks have been known to get themin time to see the last quarter of thegame, but it can’t be guaranteed.Metcalf declared that holders shouldbring their tuition receipts for thisquarter and their old C-books into theathletic office in order to get newones. Anyone desiring reserved seatsfor the season at the basketball gamescan secure them for an extra dollar. Going to the mat with Purdue Sat¬urday in the first of its tilts with BigTen squads the Maroon wrestlingsquad swings into its 1937-28 schedulewith prospects good for a successfulseason.The Chicago matmen will meet thePurdue octet Saturday in Bartlettgym immediately after the basketballgame. This will be the second of thehome battles, five more of which willfollow during the winter quarter. Forten other meets, including the BigTen Conference championships atEvanston on March 11 and 12, andthe N.C.A.A. at Penn State on March25 and 26, the squad will be on theroad.Coach Vorres is still uncertain as |to the men he will send against theinvaders. Tryouts for positions on theteam will be held later this week.Vorres considers Ohio State to bethe toughest piece on the menu, but isays that Northwestern will be \no pushover and the Maroons havetwo bouts scheduled with the Purplewarriors.Tracksters BeginPreparations ForWinter CampaignThe Maroon thinly-clads began in¬tensive drill yesterday afternoon inthe Fieldhouse in preparation forthe forthcoming indoor track season.Although no meet for January hasbeen definitely scheduled, negotia¬tions are being carried on withIllinois, and in all probability CoachNed Merriam will take his cindersquad to Champaign for a meet Jan¬uary 22.This season’s trackmen hope toovershadow the work of Jtheir pre¬decessors who endured one of themost unsuccessful track campaigns ofrecent years. The current squad has afairly well balanced roster containingseveral veterans and an outstandingaggregation of sophomores.Yesterday afternoon many of theathletes began preparation in earnest.Before the termination of the week.Coach Merriam expects a squad of ^fifty men to be working out daily.From this group of candidates, theMaroon mentor hopes to discoversome high jumpers, shot putters, and jtwo-milers. To date, the squad seems ito be weakest in these events.

Severalideas have been suggested. Amongthose being considered are runningdescriptions of the bouts, and an ex¬hibition bout before each meet togive the spectators an idea of whatit is all about. To add color to themeets the team will wear Chicagoinsigrnias for the first time.In past years few meets have beenheld in the city. Last year there wasonly one. However, this year at leastfive meets will be held in Chicago giv¬ing those who are interested achance to see the team in competitionand to enjoy a new clarity of ex¬planation. After Northwestern thehome meets will be with Illinois,Wisconsin, Notre Dame, and theArmy Air Corps.Chicago has won the conference forthe past two years. With Illinois run¬ning second and Northwestern plac¬ing fourth last year this season’shome meets promise keeness ofcompetition and interest for theaudience.Because several of the regularswere lost from the University squad,eliminations are now being held todetermine who will compete in thefirst meet.

Because it wasimpossible to measure the electrons’speed directly, the two physicists. Dr.A. L. Hughes and Dr. Marvin M.Mann, shot electrons of known speedfrom a hot filament at atoms in avacuum.The “projectile” electrons thenbumped into the electrons inside theatom and were deflected. By measur¬ing the reduction in speed of the de¬flected electrons, it was possible tocalculate how fast the electrons with¬in the bumped atoms were moving.* * *A tiny college which has no build¬ings of its own, gives no lecturesand awards no degrees, is sending itsgraduates over the nation and theworld to carry on an educationalendeavor stressing development ofcreative ability.It is the Graduate Teachers Col¬lege, founded here in 1932 for thesole purpose of training teachers inwhat its sponsors describe as “themore progressive phases of educa¬tion.” It believes the way to learn toteach is to teach.Its laboratories are class rooms ofpublic schools of Winnetka and twoprivate institutions. Seminar confer¬ences take the place of lectures. Theyare held in cooperating schools. Eachstudent of the college spends half ofeach day teaching children in theco-operating schools under the super¬vision of the schools’ teachers.Instead of granting degrees thecollege issues certificates which statewhat training their recipients had be¬fore entering, what experience in thelaboratory schools and what seminarshave been taken, along with a lineor two concerning general ability.* * *Teaching controversial topics re¬quires of the teacher an honest as¬pect for the student’s ability to makecritical judgments for himself, ac¬cording to Dr. Roy W'. Hatch, profes¬sor of social studies and education inthe New Jersey State Teachers Col¬lege.“You are there to encourage andguide the student in his inquiry,” he.said in addressing the Missouri State'Teachers’ Association. “You are tocondemn the superficial and commendthe well-reasoned. You are to be . . .a teacher, not a propagandist.“The teacher has the right to hisown opinion and . . . the right toexpress it,” he said, “but if he as¬serts it too often, he thwarts thestudent in finding his own idea.
