He’s the ifellow who can make “It Ain’t GonnaRain No More” sound like a Handeloratorio, who used to combine “TheMusic Goes ’Round and ’Round” the“Hungarian Rhapsody,” and “Flightof the Bumble Bee” into one piece andmake it sound like real music, whowas the bane of many a society ma¬tron’s existence w’hen he would make amellifluous Steinway sound as tinnyas a bowery coin slot “pianny.” It’sAlec Templeton of course and he’scoming to Mandel Hall Sunday,direct from a Rockefeller Foundationengagement.Ever since Jack Hylton introducedhim to America some two years ago,Alec has ridden an almost unequalledcrest of popularity. Among his manyappearances have been his series withRichard Himber’s Band and TheWoman’s Symphony Orchestra.Templeton is also remembered forhis record appearance of thirty weekson the Ford program, as well asengagements at the Kansas CityJubilesta, the Chicago theatre andOrchestra Hall.At present Alec is on a concerttour of the country, but will make aspecial one-day stop to appear here.Tentatively the program is to consistof half classical selections and halfimprovisations.The concert will be under theauspices of the Jewish Student Foun¬dation, the proceeds to go towardthe Scholarship Fund of the organi¬zation.

I Sociologist Scott Nearing LecturesAt Open ASU Meeting February 2Honor SocietySwitches Bandsfor Open FormalSkull and Crescent, SophomoreMen’s Honor Society yesterday madepublic the fact that the original or¬chestra engaged for their annual openformal will not appear, and that thenew musicians will be George Fosterand his famous 10 piece “music thatsoothes” band.The Colonial Club orchestra, whichwas to supply the music, was forcedto break the engagement because of“unforeseen difficulties over whichthey had no control.” Although DickGlasser and Hank Grossman, mem¬bers of Skull and Crescent’s Publicitycommittee, desired to have it madeclear that they were sorry for theloss of the Colonial Club outfit, theywere at the same time fortunate inbeing able to secure the services ofGeorge Foster and his boys. TheFoster aggregation is equally as wellknown throughout the city as theother orchestra, and has a more en¬viable reputation on this particularcampus.The change in bands will have noeffect on the other arrangements forthe affair. These include the nominalprice of $1.50 a bid; the location atthe well-known Cloister Club of IdaNoyes; and the arrangement thatmakes it stylish not to present yourdate with a corsage.It was being impressed upon fra¬ternity men that there would be nosuch thing as illegal rushing Saturdaynight. Gideonse Leads PublicDiscussion on CurrentEvents Today.Scott Nearing, famed sociologistand lecturer, will speak at an openmeeting of the ASU next Wednesdayat 3:30 in Kent Theatre.The fifty-four year old sociologistwas in the center of a nation-widespotlight of publicity when he wasdismissed from the post of assistantprofessor of Economics at the Uni¬versity of Pennsylvania in 1915 be¬cause of his outspoken stand on thepublic utilities in that state, childlabor, and a greater equality in thedistribution of income.Storm CenterThe action of the University ofPennsylvania aroused a storm ofnation-wide discussion, and mag¬azines and newspapers were filledwith columns discussing the pros andcons of the issue. To this incident isattributed the organization of theAmerican Association of UniversityProfessors.Nearing entered Pennsylvania in1901 and received his doctorate in1909. Besides his faculty post atPennsylvania he was an instructor ofEconomics at Swarthmore College, aprofessor of social sciences and Deanof the Arts and Sciences School ofToledo University, and a lecturer inthe Rand School of Social Science. Heheld the Toledo University post im¬mediately after his dismissal fromPennsylvania. He has been a memberof numerous committees dealing witheconomic subjects. He was a Socialistcandidate for congress in New YorkCity in 1919.Has M^ritten ExtensivelyKuiper Tells Discovery of DenseStar, Confirms Quantum MechanicsA new white dwarf star has beenrecently di.scovered which has prop¬erties that have never before beenobserved in any other star accordingto a talk made by Gerlad P. Kuiper,as.sociate professor of Astronomy, ata meeting of the Physics Club lastweek. Completely invisible to thenaked eye and named only by its posi¬tion in the sky, the star’s diameteris one hundred times that of the sun’s,and its mass is twice that of the sun.It has a density 50 million times thatof water, and one cubic centimeter ofit would weigh five tons. One reasonfor this extremely high density isthat it has no gaseous envelope atall, and in fact, has none of the ele¬ments as we know them on earth,but consists entirely of what scien¬tists call “degenerate matter” — freeelectrons and atomic nuclei strippedof their surrounding electrons. Themost significant thing about the dis¬covery is that it tends to confirm thetheories of quantum mechanics asopposed to the more classical theories.Other DwarfsThree other well known whitedwarf stars have been carefullystudied. The first white dwarf everdiscovered has a density two hundredthousand times that of water, anothera density of one .hundred thousand,and a third which has been more re¬cently studied has a density of sixmillion eight hundred. The third starmentioned above and this new dis¬covery are also different in that theyare believed to be at a constanttemperature throughout, instead ofbeing hot at the center and coolingtoward the surface, as do most stars.Anthropology StudentsHold Pottery SeminarHeaded by James Griffin of theceramics laboratory of the Univer¬sity of Michigan, the second in a se¬ries of eight seminars on AmericanArcheology, sponsored by .students inthe department of Anthropology,takes place this afternoon. Topic ofthe seminar is “Ceramics in Arche¬ological Investigation.”Florence Hawley, research as.soci¬ate in Anthropology, whose handbookon Southwestern pottery was recent¬ly publi.shed, and Thorne Deuel, di¬rector of the Illinois State Mu.seum,are the other speakers. and both are believed to be quitetransparent. Most white dwarfs thathave been studied exist as one oftwo stars in a binary system, butthese two are independent. It is astock technique of the astronomer todeduce the mass and other character¬istics of binary stars from the wayin which they attract and modify eachother’s movements. Lacking thismethod, he relies on such things asspectroscopy. However, this newdwarf has no gaseous envelope a-round it, and so it has no adsorptionspectrum. For this rea.son Dr. Kui-per’s methods of studying it had tobe very indirect indeed, and his re¬sults are liable to an error of aboutfifty percent.Unlike Other StarsBecause it lacks any surroundinggas whatsoever, it is again unlikeother stars, which gradually increasein density from an airy nebulosity tosomething like the magnitudes ofconcentration mentioned above, inthat as you go in from the surfaceof the star, the concentx’ation ordensity of the star material doublesevery two inches. If you ever figuredout the one about the loan of a pennythat was doubled every day for amonth, you know what that means.Dr. Kuiper studied this star whilehe was at Lick observatory, but hehas collaborated recently with Pro¬fessor Otto Struve and AssociateProfessor Bengt Stromgren of Yerkesobservatory in the recently publishedwork on the largest star in the uni¬verse.What Is Value?

Figures are not complete buttwo watches valued at a total of over$100, three or four suits, and otherarticles have been taken. Heaviestloser was Marshall Hanley who hada graduation watch, $30 in cash, anda gold watch chain taken from his:oom.The thefts occurred during the day¬time. The students robbed were gen¬erally on the same floor within 50feet of their rooms. Campus policewere called but no clues have beendiscovered. Dr. G. E. Bentley chiefentry head when questioned on theI’obberies stated, “When you have400 men gathered in one group thereis a possibility that one or two ofthem would steal. We have cautionedthe men time and time again to locktheir rooms. If they insist on leavingtheir doors unlocked when they leavethey are liable to have somethingstolen. Of course we are doing all inour power to recover the stolenarticles.”Bob Howard who lost a watch anda wallet claimed “If we can’t go tothe bathroom without locking ourdoor something is wrong. We payenough money to guai-antee us somekind of safety. Strangers don’t walkalong the corridors of Foster hallstealing things.” VPage Two THE DAILY MAROON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 26, 1938PLATFORM1.

But even in its own terms this argu¬ment is not calculated to make out fraternitiesto be bad things. Most freshmen who joinhouses are immature, if not socially, intellec¬tually; if not in knowledge of Aristotle, inknowledge of the rudimentals of social inter¬course. The polishing process that is a fra¬ternity chair meeting, or “good and welfare”session, is calculated to make men well-rounded, is after all as much and perhaps moreeducational than is memorizing the parts of aGreek temple.But in any case, the defect which we haveattributed to fraternity life is not a defectunique to fraternities. Men chafe under therestrictions of family bonds, the rules of tradeassociations, even the stuffiness of clubs, yetjoin them W the benefits which associationrenders. The realistic question then becomesfor anyone who is a potential fraternity man:Will the benefits I shall attain by joining afraternity outweigh the restrictions on my lib¬erty which the group will impose?There is no doubt that being in a frater¬nity has certain advantages which it is impos¬sible to attain in any other way while at theUniversity. Wearing the badge of an orderwith a good reputation carries prestigethroughout life; identification with some groupis essential while in college in order to have ahappy academic career.Though it is true that no type of campusorganization offers such a well-knit group asthe fraternity, it is equally true that there areindividuals to whom a fraternity does not offerthe most satisfying kind of association. Fra¬ternities are, if they are anything, social. Thehigh points of fraternity activity are the for¬mats which most houses hold twice a year; theconventions which each organization holds an¬nually; stags and run-of-the-mine dances. Moreinformally, fraternity bull sessions, and infor¬mal conversation revert to social life; and it isnot a good meeting on Monday nights at whichthere is not, at the expense of personalitiesand conventions, wisecracking. For the Marx¬ian we consequently recommend the Commu¬nist or Socialist Club; he will get scant sym¬pathy in the fraternity house. Even Beta whichtwo years ago was in large measure politicallyconscious has largely reverted to active mem¬bership which takes its politics no more seri¬ously than its Big Apple.Nor are other arguments than the qualityof social life offered of much avail in decidingon whether or not to join a fraternity.

The dorms offerbetter living facilities than most houses; onthe contrary fraternity meals are on the wholesuperior. Fraternities being non-profit organ¬izations, they give freshmen just about whatthey pay for. The financial argument for join¬ing a fraternity is of course much strongerwith respect to out-of-town men. For a verysmall minority of men contemplating seniorpositions in the activities requiring least work,association with fraternities dominant in suchactivities is of course an advantage.So what do we conclude?If you are not the “fraternity type” or atleast the type of some fraternity you havelooked over, do not consider taking any house.You will be letting yourself in for unhappinessif you join, bitterness if you are depledged orblackballed.If you are the “fraternity type,” join thehouse whose type you most approximate. Donot judge the houses primarily by individualoutstanding men or individual goons. Considerthe normal man in the house; is he one withwhom you will be happy to associate for fouryears? Apply the same test to the men whowill enter the house with you. You will bemost happy if you find a house in which theaverage is most like you and the extremes aremost congenial with each other.QuestandInquestBY LAURA BERGQUISTTHE GOOD OLD PROCESSof rationalizing is now having its heydeyamong the species of campus womanhood known asThe Club Girl. Pride, which certainly was taken tothe cleaners, is hastily being picked up, dusted off toregain the Paradise Which was Lo.st at pledging.But the blatantly naked facts belie club girl gal¬lantry. 51 pledges is a forlorn number indeed. 51 lonesouls out of so many prospects. Even with the horriblysocially inept women excluded there was still a delight¬ful enough group of young women to go around 13clubs. When all elsi fails, you blame it of course ondeferred rushing, a likely enough story, for freshmenusually manage to adjust their precious per.sonalitiesvery nicely by winter quarter.. .ju.st between club girlsand the lamp-post it’s nigh unto physically impossibleto be nice to a young crop of freshmen for 16 w'holeweeks in a row.Mortar Boards proved to be chief jolters this year.In typical herd fashion a group of women decided allof a sudden that they’d all switch over to Esoteric,revive the failing numbers of the Esos, and run theclub pretty much on their own hook through sheermajority. But then at the last minute out backed thetwo ringleaders of the plot, one to go MB the othernothing. The second biggest jolt jarred the Sigmaswhose beautifully swelled-up-and-embroidered womenalso suddenly forsook them for MB. Three cheers anda rah for MB, say the MB’s.Best suggestion of the hectic week was the jollyparty planned by Interclub to follow the day of pledg¬ing, when all clubs including pledges could come to¬gether, mingle happily and bury veiled hatchets. Be¬cause of mourning, the party was postponed.There is no moral to the story except that threeclubs currently are having the jitters while looking atmembership lists, that a pack of young, healthy,charming women still remain unorganized, that some¬thing indeed is happening to the club system...all ofwhich has been said before.THE CURRENT MADHOUSEis concerned with fraternity rushing, an in¬finitely more hopeful situation than the clubbers. Themost enigmatic, most desired, most elusive, least com-mital titles of honor all go to Joe Stamp, the basket¬ball whiz from Calumet. Phi Delts have staked outclaims by virtue of their Calumet crowd. Phi Psi seeksto lure him subtly by inviting his coach over to dinner,Psi U’s have a secret hunch that a whole flock ofathletes and the memory of Jay Berwanger will winhis heart.But Joe ain’t sayin’ nuthin’, continues to go un¬pledge-pinned, and keeps the fraternity boys in thenail-biting stage.It is truly heart warming to see an unsewed-upfreshman, isn’t it?AFTER ENVIOUSLY READINGthe New Yorker’s inside dope department,we passionately desire to scoop them...by reportingthat Hutchins has actually added to his store of whatwe thought was omniscient knowledge. When the Sat¬urday Evening Post approached him with mention of$5,000 articles he looked rather blank, then queried—wasn’t the Post a sort of shop girl’s magazine? Hecontinues to be more and more amazed by the intelli¬gent replies to his writing, and by Adler’s endorsementthat Even He has read the Post for years.The next thing you know he’ll be reading TrueConfessions.

Though intheory an advisory board co-ordi¬nated activities, the real strength of'W'.W lay with the interest groups—groups devoted to a specific phase ofthe athletic program which laid downtheir own entrance requirements, rantheir own tournaments and generallyconducted their business in inde¬pendent style.Hut, came the New Plan and theabolition of compulsory athletics..And the WA.A drooped and faded. Indesperation last year, the constitu¬tion was rewritten to place emphasison social functions rather than ath¬letic ones. To rescue women’s interest jin athletics from complete oblivion, |centralization was attempted, mem-1bership in the interest groups abol- jished, membership in the Association ;as a whole established. Then began a !bustle of activity centered aboutlunches, dances, pop-corn parties,tobogganing parties, with athleticsas such playing a minor role. iHut to no avail. Today, out of a ipaper membership of 100, with only |25 women showing the slightest ;spark of active interest, the W.AA !stands as an activity with noble pur- jpose but little following. jHWO members proffered several ^explanations for the blight. First, wasthe stigma of the i.. . ' W.\A whichdefinitely implies large muscularwomen on the robust side and high jschool gym bloomers. The suggestion |was al.so made that perhaps the |association was infringing on the jsocial programs of the Chapel Union,!A’WC.A and Ida Noyes advisory Coun- |cil. Hut through the discussion ranthe thread of thought that the ma¬jority of University women justweren’t interested any longer in ath-ietics. I•And the final resolution-suggestion {turned out to be—That WAA become ian advisory board to serve as ad¬ministrator and co-ordinator of sev¬eral interest groups, field days, amitournaments, membership to be opento any person who participates in asport. The Board would only exertitself when needed for a definite pro¬posed activity, give up its desperateattempts to be a social organization,confine itself to a basic interest inathletics as such.Hor^ese DiscussesIntellij^ence, FascismGuiseppe Rorgese, professor ofItalian Literature, will speak on“Can Intelligence and Fascism LiveTogether?” February 1 under theauspices of the Civil Liberties com¬mittee.

Mr.Weetor claims women are really thesocial lions setting the dictums whiletheir husbands earn the money fortheir prestige. The effect of the so¬ciety page on those who are not“society,” Weetor claims, is verygreat; the news items of the well-to-do offer a window for most men tosee, and also to react, to exclusivesocial mores.In summation, the author claimsthat the arguments for the wealthythrough their connection with thearts, learning, philanthropy, publicservice, and religion, offer little realjustification for the existence ofwealth. A more real society, he indi¬cates, resides in a knowledge of“inner grace,” or as Doctor SamuelJohnson has said, “Un gentilhommeest toujours gentilhomme.”Science, and Education” in Botany106 at 4:30.

Social Science Assemblyhall from 12:25 to 1:15. Editor,The Daily Maroon:The American Student Unionwishes publicly to congratulate Dr.Robert M. Hutchins for the coui’a-geous and clear-sighted stand he istaking in his current articles in theSaturday Evening Post. Specificallywe congratulate him on the followingpoints:1. He unequivocally states theproblem to be “what kind of schoolswill preserve and extend democracy?”2. Education for democracy mustproduce intelligent critios of society,and for this Dr. Hutchins points outthat social science, the study of allforms of society, is essential.3. He denounces the present drive,of which the Johnson plan in thiscity is one instance, to exalt voca¬tional training at the expense ofgeneral education, at the same timecorrectly recognizing that vocationaltraining has its place in education.4. He points out that to improveeducation, we must make the teach¬ing profession more attractive; heexcellently states the teachers’ casefor more adequate pay, and he recog¬nizes the need for a national organi¬zation to defend the teachers’ inter¬ests.5. Recognizing the magnitude ofthe problem of raising educationalstandards in our schools, especiallyin the more backward areas such asthe South, he calls for a program ofFederal support for education, withminimum standards, administered bya federal Department of Educationand headed by a Secretary of Educa¬tion in the Cabinet. 6. He champions the right of poormen’s sons and daughters to a col¬lege education, and calls for economicaid to relieve students working theirway through college of the burden ofself-support.7. He denounces attacks on aca¬demic freedom, and asserts the rightto discover truth and teach it, whichNazi Germany refuses its teachers, tobe the most important of humanrights.The ASU might disagree with someother of Dr. Hutchins’ statements; itw'ould certainly insist on adding somefurther items to a program of educa¬tion, of which the most importantwould be the demand for more op¬portunity for students to participateintelligently in the process of deter¬mining the future of education. TheASU regards this as essential to ademocratic program of education.But that does not diminish our en¬thusiastic approval of Dr. Hutchins’position on the vital questions enu¬merated above. We respect him for hisstand and will support him in cham¬pioning the cause of academic free¬dom, economic security for teachersand students, and better schools.Education Committee,American Student Union.REGULAR LUNCHEON35cEVENING DINNERSI 40c iDELICIOUS FOOD !j WE ESPECIALLY CATER TO CLUB !PARTIES IFREE USE OF CARD ROOM jMIRA MARDINING ROOM6212 Woodlown Ave.SPECIAL STUDENTLUNCHEON25c Today"THE WOMEN MEN MARRY"AND"SHE ASKED FOR IT'Thur, Fri. & Sat."ALCATRAZ ISLAND"AND"IT'S LOVE I'M AFTER"Frolic Theatre55th and ELLISToday on theQuadranglesPage Four THE DAILY MAROON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 26, 1938Reynolds Club HoldsAnnual Table Tennis,Billiard TournamentsThe University billiard aspirantswill begin their annual tourney ofthe winter quarter next week in theReynolds club billiard room.
