H. Rhine, professor of Psychologyat Duke University, asserts he hasp r«) V e (1 extra-sensory-perception(ESP) to be an “actual and demon¬strable occurrence.” Rhine’s experi¬ments in telepathy and clairvoyancehave been acclaimed by responsiblereviewers, including W a 1 d e m a rKaempffert, scientific editor of theNew York Times. “New Frontiers ofthe Mind” by Dr. Rhine, Book-of-the-.Month selection for October, sold 110,-000 copies by mid-November. Dr.Rhine him.self holds a Ph.D in Botanyfrom the University of Chicago.But the University harbors skep¬tics. Dr. Harold Gulliksen, examinerin the Social Sciences, contributes tothe January American Journal ofSociology an article entitled “Extra-Sensory-Perception—What is it?”,implying that ESP may be a fantasyof pseudo-science. “This marvelousability,” he observes, “. . . does noteven seem to extend to ordinaryplaying cards, which would give somepeople a new leverage on bridge andpoker.”Results Not ConfirmedAnswering Kaempffert’s claim thatpsychological journals have “critical¬ly considered Rhine’s work and onthe whole pronounced it good,” muchcontrary evidence is presented. Aver¬ages such as Rhine has reported, onefinds, are confirmed at no other uni¬versities.With regard to Rhine’s methods,,Gulliksen scoring hits “inadequate re¬porting,” Gulliksen asserts “practical¬ly nowhere in his books does Rhinedescribe his experimental methodsclearly, so that other investigatorscould repeat his experiments.” C. E.Kellogg, a McGill University critic.By BUD HERSCHELcharges Rhine with using inappropri¬ate mathematical procedures.Rhine has devised the ESP deck,consisting of 25 cards of five simpledesigns, and states curiously that“better” results are obtained by theiruse. Duel Wolfle, University examinerin Biological Science, points out that“rational inference” as employed by“any good bridge player” may havemuch to do with results achievedunder certain techniques used b yRhine. In many of Rhine’s experi¬ments the method of recording isheld to encourage “systematic cleri¬cal errors” which, though small, mayupon statistical analysis of thousandsof trials become “significant.”A ‘Delicate’ AbilityThough Rhine asserts “none of thesubjects tested adequately in oar lab¬oratory was completely negative”,there is no definition of the “adequatetest”. But “negative results,” he ad¬vises, “are never final”. Gulliksenconcludes: “ESP is a ‘weak and deli-(Continued on page 4) Balloting for officers of the SeniorClass will take place tomorrow from9 to 3:30 in Cobb 308, the organizingcommittee announced yesterda:^Candidates who have been nomin¬ated by petition are, president: Rob¬ert Anderson, George Halcrow, Jos¬eph Mastrofsky, and Paul Wagner;secretary-treasurer: Betty Booth,Eleanor Melander, and Betty Robbins.Only seniors will be eligible tovote.

A consistentpolicy of unification of the SeniorClass into a homogeneous group; 2.A Senior Prom on campus; 3. Asuitable gift to the University; 4. ASenior Class Day; 5.

Current reporting, the sys¬tem favored by labor, entails aquarterly report of all employees inan establishment and the wages theyhave earned during the quarter, asystem making administration rela¬tively easy.”The bill, which was recommendedby Washington, has been enacted by22 states, most of which began to paybenefits January 1.Photograph SeniorsCap and Gown urges seniors whohave not yet made their appointmentswith Carlos Studio in Lexington 16to do so as soon as possible since thephotographers will be here for alimited time only.Those seniors who received noticesfixing the time for their sittings andfailed to come at the appointed timemay call for other appointments.Page Two THE DAILY MAROON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 19, 1938PLATFORM1.

Consensus mustbe the goal since the world is one and the samefor all, but individual synthesis even thoughwidely divergent, is a necessary first step.Otherwise one would hav^e dictatorship of ideas,no lovely apparition.What Is Synthesis?Before blithely proceeding to lay down aproper order for human knowledge and cava¬lierly destroy all rivals, it might be well topause and ask what is the synthesis of knowl¬edge for which we so loudly call. Why is itneeded? Why was it not needed yesterday?What if the world is chaotic, so that any orderis bound to be pseudo-order? What if all philo¬sophical speculation is empty talk and wordplay, a subtle form of self-delusion? What ifknowledge is impossible?These are questions which must give anywould-be systematizer pause. As for the need, itis found in the fact that the present state ofknowledge is unsatisfying. The faith in special¬ization and the scientific method applied toeverything under the sun has waned. Scientificdubiety is all very well when the matter atstake is the date of a manuscript or the weightof a molecule. A bolder looser belief must beallowed when attention shifts from minutiaeto the fundamental questions of human exist¬ence—the general nature of the world, societyand man. Perhaps human intelligence is notequal to significant generalization on such cos¬mic questions. But whether any statement canbe framed that is scientifically accurate, thereis an imperious need felt for a formula for be¬lief. If intelligence refuses to grapple with theproblem, and reduce its conclusions to a co¬herent whole, stupidity will, and the world wiWembrace untruth merely because it is simpleand satisfying, instead of the best possible ap¬proximation of the truth, which would be moresatisfying, if less simple.The sudden emergence of the urge towardsystematization of knowledge, illustrated alikein Hutchins and Gideonse and in the “Unity ofScience Encyclopedia,” whose contributors arescattered all over the world, is easily explained.As long as men find action satisfying, think¬ing and lack of an intellectual framework is ofno consequence. When the traditional actionsno longer work—thrift no longer guaranteescomfortable old age today—men ask why, andturn to mending their intellectual fences. In¬consistencies and gaps suddenly stand out, andthe former easy going unconcern with reasonsfor actions becomes impossible. This is whatis happening at the University. It is to be wel¬comed as alone making bearable the frustrationof the old habits.As for the other questions—is order notillusory ?—one can only answer, “I believe thereis regularity in the world and that the regu¬larity can be perceived and formulated formen’s intellectual comfort.” The doubter canonly be convinced by meeting a system whichenlightens his experience and makes it intelli¬gible and bearable. Is this possible?

The cataclysm, entirely unheralded, by eitherpress or word of mouth, has shaken the peaceful neigh¬borhood of its figurative foundation and struck fear tothe heart of the docile peasantry.Fostered by the I-F Committee (dread secret or¬ganization), an immense group of reactionaries gath¬ered for an allegedly peaceful potlatch. Hardly hadthey assembled, when, as previously planned, they’ weresubject to the most powerful alcoholic stimulants inunlimited quantities. The first sign of trouble waswhen one Bob Waggoner, hitherto known only as apeaceable and rotund Thespian, was so inflamed by in¬cendiary talk and monetary bribes that his naturalviciousness shook off its inhibitions, and he ruthlesslytriumphed over two quarts of beer in thirty-two sec¬onds flat.Not content with thus inciting the mob, the Com¬mittee then displayed a series of warlike ceremonies.Four ringleaders, whose names, according to a nativewho identified them for your reporter, were Pierce,Antonie, Petersoh, and Johnson were encouraged tolift a weight of 110 pounds in the shape of one JohnnyKulon. Finding this impossible they looked around forscapegoats on which to vent their rage.At this point occurred what the objective commen¬tator now believes was the immediate cause of the fray.With a crash, scores of windows were thrown open,I and the natives bellowed forth taunts in their ownj strange vernacular. This insult to the integrity of theI assembled multitude proved to be too much, and theI beer-inflamed mob went forth to battle.From the munition works behind the lines snowi was brought in vast quantities, and Emmett Deadman,I the Sir Basil Zaharoff of Burton Court, immediatelybrought into play his insidious snow-distribution sys-I tern. Before one could say “Ewald Nyquist,” the ini-, tial pellets were already launched against the Burton-ites.ji The response to this fraternity barrage was un-I usual, if not particularly effective. From nowhere; there sprang up a myriad of searchlights, which playedupon the frenzied upperclassmen’s actions, and followed; the course of each snowball. Simultaneously a fewI patriotic souls in the 700 entry released bucket afteri bucket of hot water from a bathroom window, alarm-j ing, but not injuring their tormentors.The snowballs them.selves, in spite of their spec¬tacular effect, ■were not particularly lethal. The ma¬jority came to a sorry climax by swishing against theimpregnable stone walls of old Fort Burton, whose wisebuilder no doubt had in mind some such siege as this.From the bombproof shelters afforded by the arch¬ways, doughty batteries of fraternity big guns tossedmi.ssile after disintegrating missile into the ubiquitoussearchlights.Matters continued thus for many minutes, with neitherside gaining a particular advantage. At this point,however, the fraternity forces, fearing le.st the greatcause for which they fought be lost, withdrew momen¬tarily and considered new tactics. Shortly, there sprangfrom the main body, several intrepid raiding parties,who, braving the continual rain of water, sallied forthinto the enemy camp.The brave work accomplished by these sorties cannot be underestimated. Through their alacrity, intelli¬gence, and courage they reduced the once proud Burtonto a twisted and bleeding mass of broken hearts anddoor-panels. Twenty-seven minor strongholds fell be¬fore their attack, and they withdrew only before theclarion call of “Bentley” sounded from the freshmenramparts.Whether the dreaded Bentley did arrive upon thescene is, at the time of writing still unascertained.Suffice it to say that the mere mention of his namecaused the withdrawal of the attackers and the generaldispersal of the mob from the scene of hostilities. This jparticular maneuver has been already painted by Klobe-dorf in his great canvas “The Retreat from Burton,”which when completed will no doubt find its place inthe Royal academy.Today the sparrows are already twittering and hop¬ping among the desolate ruins of the once-proud sitewhich they left so hastily 24 hours ago. And already,too, the native leaders are busy planning a newer andgreater institution to replace that which was a neces¬sary sacrifice upon the Altar of Democracy.
