The longawaited taste of a major victory hasfinally given the squad the hustleand confidence every time, no matterhow good, must have before it canplay really good ball.Norgren will of course start thesame team that beat the Ramblers.If Paul .Amundsen can handle BobManly, Minnesota center, as he over,powered “Iron Mike” Novak lastweek, and Lounsbury and Eggemeyerare as hot in the game as they havebeen all week, the Gophers are goingto find a real battle on their hands.Red Rossin has developed into oneof the be.st guards in the Big Ten,and will give the high-scoring John¬ny Kundla plenty of trouble, andCaptain Ken Peter.son finally gettingthe confidence he needs to make hisshots hoop, the Maroons may findthemselves garnering the winningpoints from an unexpected source.Professors Attend Freshmen Will SignPledge Cards TodayAll freshmen intending to pledgea fraternity today must indicatetheir preference by signing up inCobb 311 between 9 and 12 today.Failure to do so will prohibit themfrom taking a house until the la.stday of the Spring quarter.Fraternities must have their listof bids left in the Dean’s officewith Miss O’Hanley rot later than9 this morning.Again fraternity men are askedto remain away from Cobb duringpledging unless they have classesin that building.Kerwin Talks onNew LiberalismChapel Union members will havetheir choice of three meetings Sun¬day night at 7:30.

Breckenridge, SamuelDeut.sch Professor of Public WelfareAdministration, will lecture on “TheProfession of Social Work,” and willalso be one of the participants in around-table discussion on “The Cur-rtculum in Child Welfare.” (Theother Chicago faculty member, HelenR. Wright, assistant dean of theSchool of Social Service Adiminstra-tion, will lead a di.scussion group on“Student Research.” on campus.The Chinese Consul, Doctor Wang,and Professor Paul H. Douglas willdi.scuss the problem of an anti-Japan¬ese boycott and different aspects ofthe war in China. The ASU theatregroup headed by Vera Rony will pre¬sent a short one act play or skit andthere will probably be a fashion.show featuring lisle and rayon sub¬stitutes for silk sponsored by Mirror.A thousand reprints of the Nationpamphlet telling how to avoid buyingJapanese goods will be secured anddistributed.The organizations sponsoring thecampaign so far are: The Daily Ma¬roon, the Social Service Administra¬tion club, the Chinese Students As¬sociation, the American StudentUnion, the Progressive club, theNorth American Committee to AidSpanish Democracy, the Committeefor Medical Aid to Spain, NegroStudent Club, Avukah, Student Par¬tisan, and the Campus News Reel._Kraus Develops Chemical PoUenizing Agentto Promote Growth of StrawberriesStrawberries and holly berrieshave been produced with a chemicalpollenizing agent which replaced nat¬ural pollen in experiments conductedat the U. S. Horticultural Field Sta¬tion, Beltsville, Md., and at the Uni¬versity by Dr. F. E. Gardner of theBeltsville station and Dr. Ezra J.Kraus, chairman of the University’sdepartment of botany.By spraying the female blossomswith a four one-hundredths solutionof indoleacetic acid, a growth pro¬moting compound, the two botanistsproduced berries as plump and firmas tho.se naturally pollinated.Microscopic .study of the fruits,they report in The Botanical Gazette,published by the University Press,.showed that there is no cellular de¬formation of the holly berry pro¬duced by this parthenocarpic (unpol¬ linated) method. The only differencebetween berries so produced andthose pollinated is that the partheno¬carpic fruit has no embryo, or lifeproducing seedling. The stony la3'^-ers enclosing the seeds (endocarps),however, are fully developed, as arethe seed coats (integuments).Commercial implications of theKraus-Gardner study are importantfor both growlers of holly and straw¬berries. Eastern greenhouses growholly and set the berries by trans¬ferring pollen from the male blos¬soms to the female, which bear thefruit, with a small bru.sh, a methodthat costs from three to five centsa plant. By using the dilute solutionof indoleacetic acid in an atomizer,a’t a cost of about two cents a gallonfor the spray, the cost of setting thefruit can be greatly reduced. Sophomore Men’sHonor Society toHold Annual Ball A rtistfrom IowaGrants Interviewto Daily MaroonBy WILL ROGERS Douglas to Speakat Next PoliticalUnion MeetingSkull and Crescent yesterday wasmaking elaborate preparations for itsannual formal ball, scheduled for to¬morrow evening at 9.The affair, which has gained ad¬vance notoriety because of the uniquefeature connected with it by declaringit a “no-corsage” dance, will takeplace in the Cloister Club at IdaNoyes.The Club will be decorated withlarge replicas of the pins of eachfraternity on campus. These card¬board posters will be hung above theorchestra platform, and in the centerwill be a giant reproduction of theSkull and Crescent pin, with its greeneyes electrically lit.The Sophomore Men’s Honor So¬ciety has made the price of bids lowenough to meet everyone’s wallet—just $1.60, and indications are thatthe crowd will be the largest ever toattend the annual ball.

C., will speak atRockefeller Memorial Chapel Sundayat 11. One of the best known youngNegro preachers in the country, Thur¬man was an outstanding figure at theNational Assembly of Student Chris¬tian Associations held at Oxford,Ohio, during the vacation. Two yearsago, he and his wife visited Englishcolleges in India at the invitation ofthe Indian student movement.The Park Congregational Choir ofGrand Rapids, Michigan, will sing atthe vesper services at 4:30. C. HaroldEinecke is the director. A mild, soft-spoken, kindly Iowanwho is also one of the greatest art¬ists America has produced is comingto the Midway today. His name isGrant Wood.Wood is a large, rather paunchyman with wavy blond hair touchedwith grey. When he talks, he speaksvery slowly in a low voice and withan easy going manner. His hands arenot the hands of an artist. Theyare more the hands of a laboring manin shape, not in texture. They aresmooth and very soft and fleshy.Likes PeopleWood likes to sit around in hisshirt sleeves in an informal mannerwith people who know people andhave done things. He tells long storiesabout interesting people that he hasknown and rarely talks about art.The artist likes the human qualityin people and likes to tell anecdotesabout them. He is a good listener andis always interested in what peoplehave to say. He laughs ponderouslyand smiles slowly. An ardent enemyof sham and hypocrisy, he has beencalled both communistic and fascis¬ts. One of his favorite stories isabout the irate communist who ac-cu.sed him of supporting capitalismbecau.se he showed large quantities offood on the tables of the farmers in“Dinner for Threshers”. “You knowvery well the farmers are stai’ving,”said the communi.st.Hard TrainingWood moves slowly but with a(Continued on page 2)Hu Shih, Kiichi MiyakePresent Positions ofChina, Japan in WarBoth sides of the Sino-Japaneseconflict will be represented thisweek-end at International House,with Dr. Kiichi Miyake of the Im¬perial University of Tokyo lecturingFriday and Dr. Hu Shih, noted Chi¬nese philosopher and author, speak-ing Sunday evening.Dr. Miyake will present “Japan’sCase in the Present Crisis” Fridayevening at 8:30 in Rooms CDE. Dr.Shih, who spoke at InternationalHouse last year, will be guest at theSunday night supper, at 6.Topic of the International HouseForum radio broadcast for thisweek-end is “The Foreign Policy ofthe United States.” Marjorie Bam¬berger, who works at InternationalHouse as a.ssistant to the director ofsocial activities and is a graduatestudent in International Relations,will be one of the participants. Alsospeaking on the forum is WilliamDiaz, employed in the downtown of¬fices of the League of Nations As-socia' ion.The third speaker w’ill be SidneyHyman, graduate student in PoliticalScience and former editor of “Phoe¬nix.” Noted Politician to Pro¬pose Resolution FavoringBalanced Budget.James H. Douglas, Assistant Sec¬retary of the Treasury under Presi¬dents Coolidge and Hoover, will bethe main speaker at the PoliticalUnion meeting Wednesday. He willpropose the resolution, “Resolved,That the Political Union shall favorthe balancing of the national budgetby means of economics by the Roose¬velt administration.”Being a member of the Cabinetduring the depression, Mr. Douglasis well qualified to speak on thenational financial question. He is alsoa trustee of the University and aprominent Chicago attorney, beingclassified politically as a right-wingConservative.Second to propose the question willbe Judson Allen, a member of theConservative party which is givingunanimous approval to the question.Frank Meyer, vice-president of theUnion, representing the Communistcaucus is scheduled to be the firstnegative speaker.The location of the Political Unionmeeting Wednesday is tentatively setfor the Social Science Assemblyroom.Contrary to a previous announce¬ment, the Communists plan to holdtheir preliminary meeting Monday at4:30 in Cobb 210.

It consists of Lorraine Lewis,a member of the Radical group, andDan Gorsky and Ralph Prosen, Con¬servative representatives. In orderto formulate their program, the com¬mittee will meet today at 1 in theDaily Maroon office.Smith Thinks Rumorof Linn **Just SweW*^When T. V. Smith, professor of'Philosophy announced that he did notintend to run for the State Senate,the campus grapevine rumored thatJames Weber Linn, professor of thedepartment of English, was planningto campaign for the job himself.Smith thinks the idea is “justswell” and is willing to get out aqdstump for friend Teddy, who, hethinks, could do a great deal of good.Only one who refuses to show en¬thusiasm about the proposed candi¬dacy is Linn who emphatically deniedall grapevine murmurs.Explains Japan’s Imperialistic Ideas in“Problems of the Pacific: 1536”“Japan has a legitimate desire toexpand. Imperialistic advances areapparently out of date, but this isnot understood by the Japanese peo¬ple. The average reasoning of theJapanese people is that other pow¬ers have done it, w'hy shouldn’t we?”This statement of the Japaneseview comes from “Problems of thePacific: 1936,” a book that is timelydespite the date in its title. Provid¬ing, as it happens, a calm and com¬prehensive preface to unpacific re¬lations in the Far East today, thisbook reports the proceedings of theSixth Conference of the Institute ofPacific Relations, held in August of1936 at Yosemite National Pai'k.China, Japan, the USSR, the UnitedStates, Canada, Holland, Great Brit¬ain and other Pacific countries sentover 150 unofficial representatives—statesmen, militarists, professors,business and professional men—tothe Yosemite Conference to considersuch puzzles as “How are recent so¬cial, economic and political programsshaping the futures of these coun¬tries?”, “What machinery do thesecountries use in their governmental programs?”, and “What is (was) thepossibility of peace?” A presage ofwar was seen in Chinese protestsagainst “smuggling” through puppetcustoms. Calling it an attack onChina’s financial structure and ablow to legitimate Chinese trading-houses, Chinese spokesmen declaredbefore the Conference, “China will beundermined as though by militaryinvasion by this underground econo¬mic force.”Included in the American member¬ship were Robert A. Millikan, notedphysicist formerly of the University,,and Quincy Wright, professor of In¬ternational Law, whose appraisal of“The Working of Diplomatic Ma¬chinery in the Pacific” forms a partof the report just published.Other documents, which with or¬ganizational data and a summary ofthe discussions make up the bulk ofthe report, include an analysis of“Trade and Trade Rivalry betweenthe United States and Japan,” an ac¬count of “The Reconstruction Move¬ment in China” and a Soviet surveyof “The Resources and Economic De¬velopment of the Soviet Far East.”Page Two THE DAILY MAROON.

A chastened president.To Join or Not to JoinThat is the question facing some two hun¬dred freshman men this morning, and prob¬ably something more than half that numberwill decide to join one of the seventeen fra¬ternities of the campus. Their reasons will beas various and as ill-defined as those that havemoved their predecessors.Most prominent no doubt is the desire tobe a member of a satisfying social group whichcan lend the individual private assurance andease. The desire for social lionhood is promi¬nent too. So tenuous a thing as family tradi¬tion carries a decisive weight with many. Thevague feeling that fraternity membership ispart of ‘college life’ likewise swings many awaverer to signing away his independence.On the other side are arguments whichgenerally get but scant airing during the weekjust ending. Fraternities generally enforceassent to a very narrow set of values andhabits If fraternity values and habits weresuch as to conform to educational values andeffective study habits, they would be unmiti¬gated blessings. They do not, have not, andprobably will not so conform. Fraternitiesthus stunt the development of their best mem¬bers, help the development of their worst. Al¬most every freshman could get some benefitfrom a fraternity, and almost every senior isshackled by his fraternity.Some years ago the Beta’s tried to build afraternity on values and habits that wouldconform to educational values. The result hasnot been encouraging. The best prospectswould not sacrifice their independence or theirpurse to join, the average men could be boundinto the group only by average activity, animalactivity, the activity of the average fraternity.The group still comes closer to educationalvalues in its activities than do other frater¬nities but the difference is fading.Association of a fraternity, then, is boundto be foreign to the values students presum¬ably seek in their education. The force of theorganization is to foster the non-intellectualside of their nature. This is not necessarilybad. Perhaps a university career needs thesupplement of organized animal activity. Butit is a deterrent to him who seeks an education.Fraternities will make you normal. Onecomes to a university to become somethingbetter than normal, yet normality is not whollyto be abhorred Some, those who will by andlarge not join fraternities, need become morenormal. Others, and they will generally join,need be jarred from their normality.Vol. 38 JANUARY 28, 1938 No. 60FOUNDED 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, 5831 University avenue.

Amen.But there’s a lot more to this than you’d think atfirst glance. Peggy, you will all remember, used tobat around with Charles Stevenson, while Cubbonpinned Betty Quinn who has now been repinned byDeke Bob Brinker, who used to see Jane Ann Vaupel(or the other way ’round), who is now not in school.The family tree sort of ended there in a blind alley.Next in line for publicity is Chuck Pfieffer, Psi Urumored to haul down A’s, who has sensibly hung hispin on Janet (]leiger, also known as the swellest girlin the sophomore class, who leaves the traditionalbattered, shattered hearts in her Psi U wake. Comesalso the tidings that Ken Sponsel, Skull and Cres-center, had to travel home to Gary to overawe some¬body with the sight of a Deke insignia. Next case onthe docket includes another Phi Delt, Gunther Baum-gart (whose claim to distinction rests in having hisname in Winchell’s column) . . . who has taken drasticmeasures, eternally sealed his fate with a ring forArdis Manney, cherry blossom queen.Most interesting spectacle to watch is the littletrekking currently going on in Harper library to themecca Charlotte Rexstrew. Visitors now include inrespective order—Petersmeyer, Russ Parsons, RoySoderlind, Ed Opperman, Nelson Weatherall and thelibrarian (anticlimax dept.)And finally, the climax of them all—Sara LeeBloom has finally cornered C. Sharpless Hickman withan ASU badge with the guarantee that “the ASU sup¬ports all progressive candidates for public office.’’ Amighty funny reason for hanging a pin, we’d say.And that’s enough about romance and tripe for oneday.IT’S HIGH TIME THATthe Betas get a little publicity m their vali¬ant efforts to forge ahead with learning.Yesterday they actually threw a birthday partyreplete with a large birthday cake topped by onecandle.It seems the boys have a passion for Mozart, thinkhe’s by far the most superiorest composer who has yetcome to light except for Benny Goodman of course.Yesterday was his 270th anniversary, and to the sweetsolemn strains of a phonograph record. Betas andrushees paid him homage. The only person a littleconfused in the house was the colored maid, whothought that the big event was staged for an individualnamed Mose Ark, some relation to Noah.And Beta rush chairman still tears his hair des¬perately because Bill McNeill, pride and joy, remainscold-burdened and unwilling to attend rush functions.It Takes Grant Wood-(Continued from page 1)sense of purpose and meaning thatis reflected in the sharp, firm, surelines of his paintings. It is hard toimagine him angry, but he says hegets irate when people come to himwith a painting and admit that theirperiod of training amounted to onlya few months. “I worked many yearsand very hard for what I know aboutpainting,’’ he says. He might be bit¬ter about it but he isn’t. The hard¬ship and privation that Wood wentthrough to reach his present statuscompares with that of Van Gogh anddoes nothing to belie the popular ideaabout the struggles of the artist.“The society for the prevention ofcruelty to public speakers’’ at theUniversity of Iowa, of which Wood isone of the founding fathers, gives aperfect insight into the personality ofthe man. An unfortunate experiencesuffered by Christopher Morley ata lecture at the University broughtthe organization into being. Ob¬viously speakers were being treatedinhumanely. They were forced to at¬tend stuffy formal dinners and recep¬tions when they were tired fromtheir trip and wanted peace and quiet.Wood likes to paint pictures ofthings that everybody has seen andknows well. He is the son of a farmerand his favorite subjects are thoseof the country’. He works very hardand keeps long hours. Sincere and un¬assuming, Wood remains the cham-I pion of the soil, its people, and Iowa.I —— THE BANDThat IntroducedSINGING SONG TITLESKAY KYSERms GREAT ORCHESTRAAND ms SBfGING STARS—PLUS—AN ENTERTAININGFLOOR REVUE* « «Saturday Tea Dancing4-6 P.

The logical outcome of thecombination was his nickname, “Turk,’’ which hasdogged Chapel janitor George Harlow Morrill eversince his soldiering days.“Turk,” who is one of Chapel Union’s most highlyprized barn dance callers, was brought up on a Wis¬consin farm next to an Indian reservation, and a sum¬mer resort, where he learned not only head-toting, butalso barn dancing. Popular before the war, the artwas not revived until summer and winter resortersbegan taking it up with an enthusiasm that forced“Turk’’ and all his compatriots to become experts.In 1927 “Turk” came to the University as gunmechanic for the campus R.O.T.C. unit, taking a fewcourses on the side and participating in campus lifeto the extent of writing poetry for The Daily Maroon’scolumns. Now, older, plumper, and a conservative inpolitics, he merely .stands in the aisles of the Chapel,broom in hand, and watches students rush through ontheir way to graduate education. Sometimes he helpsout the Chapel Union and does odd jobs for the Hutch¬ins household, but since marriage and abolition of theR.O.T.C. unit forced him out of the arniy and intoB and G, “Turk” has concentrated mainly on vacuumcleaning and classes.

Aubrey, professor of cals, big business and even govern-Christian Theologfy and Ethics, hasreturned from six months in Englandin which time he attended the worldinclusive Oxford Conference, gaveaddresses, and interview’ed the lead¬ers of theology as regarding recenttrends of religious thought abroad.Professor Aubrey the only represen¬tative of the University at the Con.ference, has recently published a vol¬ume on “Recent Theological Trends.”At the Oxford conference delegatesrepresented 45 nations and all im¬portant churches except the RomanCatholic. The International atmos¬phere of the Conference is illustratedby a procession in St. Paul’s, nearthe bishop of the Russian Church inExile, walked the Bishop of Tokio.Behind them followed Bishop Aza-rea of the Church of South India,some American bishops, and theyoung patriarch of the AssyrianChurch, whose people had beendriven from country to country bypersecution. Aubrey was a co.opteddelegate, a specialist pressed intoservice for council on certain prob¬lems. As such, he was a member ofone of the committees drafting thereport of the Commissions, and inthe series of international volumeson the Conference, he wrote a reporton “The Church and the Communityfrom the American View.”Important ProblemsOne of the important problems ofthe Conference was the relation ofthe Christian Church and the State.Much of the controversy on this issueraged around the German situation.In the discussion of this issue, theGerman Confessional Church was con¬spicuous by its absence.

Located on the sixthfloor are the following gadgets: atriple register, recording continuouswind velocity, the duration of sun¬light, and rainfall; a hypograph,showing relative humidity; a ther¬mograph, continuously marking tem¬peratures; an anemometer measuringwind movement; an ombroscope,proving the duration of rainfall; apyrheliometer, graphing the inten¬sity of sunlight; and a barograph,finding the barometric pressure.Jokers Cause DisturbancesThe sunshine recorder rests on topof Rosenwald’s tower, while the ther¬mometer is protected in the bird-cagelike shelter, along with the rain andsnow gauges in the quadrangles inback of the law building. These ob¬jects tempt mischievous students,who feel an irresistible urge to plugthe snow gauge with a foot of snowon a day when not a flake has fallen.Often in the spring on the dryestdays, the sprinklers fill the rain re¬corder, but, laughed Swenson, “Wecan catch on to tricks like that whenthey are obvious. Sometimes, how¬ever, it causes a disturbance.’’During the first cold snap of theyear, the University’s weather bur¬eau received 90 calls a day, and thecity office, which is the Forecas5t Dis¬trict Center for the North Centralstates got between five and six hun¬dred.

Their aver¬age stay is from six weeks to threemonths, for most of the children areoperated on.Occupational TherapyFacilities include an occupationaltherapy shop where soap and woodcarving and other handicrafts aretaught. Moreover there is a smallswimming pool and gymnasium,where a physiotherapist gives exer¬cises to those strong enough. In thegymnasium, straight chalk lines aredrawn with mirrors at the end so thata child may learn to walk again.Because of the discovery that mus¬ cles can move more easily in waterthan in air, water is frequently used“Whirl pool baths,” in which waterchurns around,an inserted arm orleg, are employed to limber stiffmuscles. Water-filled “Hubbardtanks,” which are somewhat butteiflvshaped and in which a child mavstand up and do exercises, are alsoused.Original HomeThe original Home for DestituteChildren was for many years on thewest side and had an out-patientclinic.
