Robinson and brought him and therilm’.s director, Mervyn LeRoy, tofame. Not unique nor strikinglyoriginal in technique or plot “LittleCaesar” is credited with injectingthe depression “gangster-cycle” withnew life by the skillful handling ofthe theme.Films of the type of “Little Cae¬sar” are representative of the tempoof the early part of the decade. Fortwo full years, adults, adolescentsand children saw and admired gang¬sters and killers, who, though ve¬neered with a casual “crime does notpay morality” yet assumed the pro¬portions of modern Robin Hoods.“Granton Trawler” and “For’AllEternity” are British documentaryfilms after the style of the famous“Drifting” The first film deals withthe life of fishermen off the coastof Scotland, the second is a descrip¬tive film on famous cathedrals inEngland.Establish $75,000Educational FundGift of $75,000 to the Universityby Mrs. Marion R.

Hutchins.In making the gift, Mrs. Stern re-.served the right to designate theparticular educational uses of thefund, and has already authorized theuse of $5,000 for scholarships to beawarded by President Hutchins toneedy and deserving students.“Mrs. Stern’s gift is intended toprovide funds to the University forspecial purposes and needs, for whichbudgetary resources might not beavailable,” President Hutchins said inannouncing the gift. “The fund, be¬cause of its flexibility, is of unusualvalue.”This is the largest single sum givento the University since the $550,000gift of Charles R. Walgreen lastsummer. Between January 1, 1937and January 1, 1938, gifts and en¬dowments made to the University ofChicago amounted to more than thoseof any other University in the UnitedStates.Adler Speaks at IdaNoyes; to ContrastThomism,CommunismMortimer J.

Permit DepartmentsOption on RelatedFields ExaminationAt the recommendation of the com¬mittee on policy of the University,the Humanities faculty has decidedto allow the individual departmentsin the division to decide whether ornot the comprehensive for the Bach¬elor’s degree will include an exami¬nation in the related fields.To date, individual departmentshave not announced their option, butthere is indication that most of themwill continue to test the students intheir related fields. The RomanceLanguage department, however, willnot require such an examination. In¬dividual course credits may be used tocount toward the degree in those de¬partments which have eliminated therelated fields examination.The Romance Language depart¬ment announced a change in its re¬lated field requirements earlier in theyear. Instead of fixing the alliedfield to be examined, they are now al¬lowing the student, with the depart¬mental councilor’s approval, to choosethe subjects for his sequence.Dr. Chan?

This year. Di¬rector Metcalf can remove the candle.The patriotic prodigal is returning.“Although Bartlett Gym was notits birthplace, the first WashingtonProm was planned in a gymnasium.At an 1893 Washington banquet—inthe old temporary gym which stoodin Hutchinson Court — plans weremade for the first Washington Ball tobe held the following year in theBarry (Del Prado) Hotel (on the siteof International House). About 30couples attended the first Prom anddanced quadrilles, polkas, scottisches,and waltzes.Chicago Beach Hotel“In 1895, the students gathered atthe Chicago Beach Hotel at 8 P. M.for a musical program by the Glee,Serenade, and Banjo clubs and theMinstrel Quartet. This was followedby dancing. At the Prom in 1896,again in 1897, nine Senior men ap¬peared wearing pins consisting ofsmall, gold, diamond-eyed owl’s heads Commentator Discusses In¬ternational Relations iiiOpening Address.The reason for the world-wide dis¬turbance during the last quartercentury is due to the diminishingcapacity of Britain to maintain herposition as chief arbiter among thenations, Walter Lippmann, noted poli¬tical commentator, announced lastnight as the conclusion he intends todraw from his series of three lectureson “American Destiny.” His addressesare the first to be presented underthe auspices of the Charles R. Wal¬green Foundation for the Study ofAmerican Institutions.Although America is as yet un¬ready to play the part as “the finalforce in the international life of man¬kind,” Lippmann believes she is goingto be, and that this is the “Americandestiny.”Next Era of Peace“The next era of peace in theworld, when finally it is achieved, . . .will find America playing a rolesimilar to that played by Britain inthe hundred years between Waterlooand the Marne,” he prophesied.Attempts to intervene in or policeinternational affairs by America heopposes not because it is possible forAmerica to sit by in tranquil isola¬tion, but because she is not yet strongenough to' intervene decisively andeffectively.“I am not ashamed,” he stated, “toprefer the ideals of the Victorian erato those of Mussolini and Hitler, anymore than the men of the Renais¬sance were ashamed to hark back to_ Greece and Rome.” The prevailingideology before the 19th century wasthat of Machiavelli and Richelieu,and it is to that ideology which wehave returned, Lippmann observed. Itwas the 19th century which fosteredthe aims of liberty, responsible gov¬ernment, national independence, the-mutuality of commerce, and sanctityof treaties, disarmament, and peace.“We who believe in these ideas arethe spiritual heirs of a relativelybrief interlude in the history of man¬kind,” be asserted.Mary Adele CertifiesPulse Issuance TodayIt was learned from good authoritylast night that Pulse will be out to¬day. When asked to confirm thisstatement, Editor John Morris wouldonly mutter “Pulse will be out. Pulsewill be out. Pulse will be out.”Although Morris refused to clarifyhis position on the issue further,Mary Adele Crosby interpreted thisto mean that Pulse will be out.

Until 1902, the annual Wash¬ington Prom was held at the ChicagoBeach Hotel.“In 1902, it was removed to Bour-niques, the fashionable ballroom of afamous dancing academy which hasbeen operated to this day by a familyof that name. The Prom made a twoyear stand at this ballroom where, in1903, Donald Richberg’s “Flag ofMaroon” was first introduced creatingsuch a sensation that the orchestrawas forced to respond to four encores.The tune had just the right swing fora lively two-step.“Bartlett Gym was dedicated inJanuary, 1904.

A chastened president.Letters to theEditorEditor,Daily Maroon:Students are a kettle of poor fish.They are younp: and vigorous; theyare by profession disinterested, withno vested interests to defend; up¬rooted, they have few ties they needfear breaking. They are not yet, inRMH’s memorable phrase “corruptedby life.” Surely, one would say, thestudent should be the political animalpar excellence; if the world’s pie isto be baked anew he certainly shouldhave a finger in it. Anfl yet just nowwhen his counsels and aid are neededmost he is told (not by some mustymembers of the faculty moldy withacademicism, nor yet by the vested in¬terests fearing this bright-eyed youth¬ful idealism, but rather by bright¬eyed William McNeill himself) thatstudents must keep their cold bluenoses close to the grindstone insteadof poking them into other people’sbusiness.But more than the offense againstthe academic tradition he must realizethe offense to common sense containedin his suggestion. It must be knownand understood well that thought isimpossible without action just as ac¬tion is ineffective without thought. Itis a truism to say that all thoughtarises from experience; it does notseem to be a truism to say thatthought is verified by experience.Not only is it true that a man can¬not understand an idea until he hasused it (writing, speaking, actingupon it), but it is also true thatthrough his action he tests the va¬lidity of his thought as well as per¬ceiving therein its consequences.Thought is not a process which goeson in the dusty recesses of the Har¬per stacks; it necessarily involves aconstant checking in action — check¬ing which in itself drives the thoughtprocess foi’ward simply by demon¬strating the dynamics of the thoughtand its impact upon reality. The ex¬perimental method is perfectly re¬spectable in the Biological and Physi¬cal Sciences; it is used—though alltoo seldom—in the Humanities. It isonly in the Social Sciences that theexperimental method is under fire—simply because social experimentationmeans enlightened social action whichtoday must threaten vested interests.But the Social Sciences can be validonly if they at once arise from andprovide a guide to action, for it isthrough action that the student maysee the implications and workingvalue of his thought and it is by histhought that he is able to direct hisaction.John Marks. Fraternities RampantIN A FIELD OF AZURE WITH RULES.Last night the embattled delegates from the fraternities of the cam¬pus discussed an heroic attempt, the overthrow of the last vestige of Uni¬versity paternalism. More exactly, they considered renewing the peti¬tion for the shortening of the rushing period. Like most embattled pa¬triots, the fraternities have an axe to grind, but that does not necessarilyinvalidate their arguments.Their arguments are conclusive. The University officially holds thatstudents are grown up. It lets them spend their time as they please anddo what seems best to them. The University even lets its students asso¬ciate with whom they please—except the freshmen cannot join fraternitiesuntil the Winter quarter.But perhaps this violation of the general principle is justified byspecial conditions? Last year a special committee answering a peti¬tion by the last year’s I-F Committee failed to mention any. Their re¬port ran: “New students on the campus should have at least one quarterin which to become adjusted to their work in the Univer.sity without beingsubjected to the distraction of club and fraternity rushing,”Even on the surface this seems pretty weak. If a freshman is to be¬come a fraternity man eventually, postponing his pledging merely meansthat he has to make two adjustments instead of one. A newcomer doesnot first become adjusted to his studies, then turn to a social adjustmentas fraternity rush week looms up. Instead, he first learns to .study (ornot to study) in a dormitory, then has to reset his habits for fraternitylife.If the University feels that fraternity life is a bad thing for studentsit should abolish them; if it accepts its official position that students aregrown up and responsible, it should remove the regulation of fraternitypledging.This is not to say that there should not be some form of deferredrushing. The majority of fraternity men would hate to see the returnof pledging as soon as the freshmen showed their faces on campus. Butthe regulation of rushing should be in the hands of the fraternities them¬selves. If freshmen cannot he trusted to choose their fraternity intelli¬gently, neither can they he trusted to study alone, and the whole basisof the new plan is denied.The University does not interfere with freshmen in their relation toother activities. A man may devote himself entirely to work on theMaroon, for example, and let his classwork go down the drain, but theUniversity does not feel called upon to regulate his action.Perhaps the University has its own axe to grind. The dormitorieshave to be filled; and if freshmen are to settle down into a dormitoryexistence for the first quarter of their campus career, they will be morelikely to swell the dormitory registrations permanently. If so, the Uni¬versity should abandon its hypocrisy.Vol 38 FEBRUARY 17. 1938 No. 71®I]i>FOUNDED IN 1901MEMBER ASSOCIATED COLLEGIATEPRESSThe Daily Maroon is the official studentnewspaper of the University of Chicago,published mornings except Saturday, Sun¬day, and Monday during the Autumn,Winter and Spring quarters by The DailyMaroon Company, 5831 University avenue.Telephones: Local 357, and Hyde Park9221 and 9222.After 6:30 phone in stories to our print¬ers, The Chief Printing company, 1920Monterey Ave. Telephone Cedarcrest 3311.The University of Chicago assumes noresponsibility for any statements appear¬ing in The Daily Maroon, or for any con¬tract entered into by The Daily Maroon.The Daily Maroon expressly reservesthe rights of publication of any materialappearing in this paper.

Those of youwho, for lack of anything better todo, read this column will recall thatthe good Tailor Tom, hitherto faith¬ful Maroon newshawk, has been lostto us. Conscientious business man-I ager Charles Hoy (also known inpolitical exposes as Dapper AlphaBelt Chuck Hoy) has been worriedover a fitting successor for the jobformerly held by Tom, and beforehim by bibulous and amazing NewYork Jim.Monday saw Hoy’s troubles appar¬ently overcome with the appearanceof one Bernard Mahoney, an affableIrish gentleman, who told Hoy thatTom had told him of the job and thathe was yearning to go. Hoy acceptedand immediately cast about for somecolor to smear on Mahoney, realizingthat the Maroon’s greatest asset hasalways been a picture.sque newsboy.Mahoney, however, had been born inPeoria and his life-story was singu¬larly bare of glamour. But bearingin mind that names make the man.Hoy, (sometimes known as nice oldCharlie) bethought himself of thefamed Irish wrestler Danno O’Ma¬honey, with the result that whenyour reporter arrived at the Maroonoffice a somewhat bewildered news¬dealer-to-be was being Dannoed allover the place. Egged on by Hoy(sometimes referred to as the best-dressed man on campus) a nice storywas concocted to appear in this col¬umn, tracing Mahoney’s ancestry tothe mythical kings of Ireland, andcrediting him with every experiencefrom engine-wiper on a man-of-warto sauce chef at the Ritz.The blow came Tuesday morningwhen Danno, in spite of ro.seatepromises, failed to show up. To datehe has not been seen, and in frontof Cobb hall, the Maroons, held inplace solely by a stone called Her¬man, which is picturesque, but notvery imposing, flap forlornly in theFebruary gale.The best theory so far advancedas to Danno’s disappearance is thatof Irvin Rosen, who suggests thatHoy (frequently called affable Chuck)scared tlje poor guy so badly thathe’ll never be back.MARXIAN DIALECTICTo those of us who, cloi.stered inour little nests of bourgeois preju¬dices and back issues of Hearst’s Cos-|mopolitan, pursue the various mun¬dane activities connected with goingto school, come occasional faint ru¬mours of unrest among the Reds. Be¬cause we write a column, we have suddenly become interested in whatis going on among the boys and girlswho follow Marx, and have even un¬earthed a little tale about them.You must know by th'.s time thatthere are two groups of leftists andthat somewhere in the obscure cloudof revolutionary reasoning, they havegotten peeved with one another. Somuch peeved, in fact, that the Com¬munists aren’t allowed to talk to theTrotskyites. The first flare-up thatwe heard about was last fall, whenthe Communists invaded a Trotskymeeting and (so help us) relea.se<l aflock of canary birds, which, by onemeans or another, succeeded in en¬tirely disrupting the meeting.Last Monday night another charm¬ing episode occurred. It seems therewas a Communist meeting, a meetingadvertised quite generally as open toanyone who wanted to come. TheTrotskyites took advantage of thiskind invitation, and appeared. Ac¬cording to some Communists we knowthey didn’t behave themselves likewell-bred guests should, and madenoise all through the resolutionswhich were being passed, resolutions,we add, to the effect that the Trot¬skyites be thrown out.Trotskyites refused to comply with ithe request to leave, the Communists |called a recess, and started to leave,themselves, when their district or¬ganizer (whatever that may be)came in and delivered a little talk,I.saying that it would be lovely if the.sons of Trotsky were to get out un¬der their own power. This failed,and the upshot of the matter wasthat the Communi.sts. true philoso¬phers that they are, got up andtossed the Trotskyites out bodily.And now, fur—or rather, feathers—are flying on the left wing. DeanSmith has been quoted as .saying that,if the Communi.sts wanted to exclude!people from their meeting theyishouldn’t advertise it as open toeveryone. The Communists are say-|ing that the Trotskyites aren’t gen-|tlemen, to which the Trotskyites areireplying, “canary birds!” jAnd yet, ladies and gentlemen,those of you who have not .seen thelight, pursue your way, filled withthe bigotry and prejudice, the hatredand intolerance, the unenlightenmentand lack of perspective which arecommon only to the bourgeoisie.Dodd Discusses “WorldOutlook for Democracy”Former American envoy to Ger¬many and professor of American His¬tory on this campus.

Page Three]ocrc graduate, Lippmann stated, of theGin and Jazz Age, youth today is«prious conscious of the problemsLfronting it and able to take actionon these problems. Walter Lippmann,ominent American newspaperman andlecturer for the WalgreenFoundation, basing his opinion on theundergraduates he had come in con¬tact with at Harvard, made this as¬sertion in an interview yesterday.\lthough students may be capableof finding answers to political ques¬tions he believes that they would dobetter to spend their college yearsin a rehearsal for active politicallife rather than participating active¬ly during this time. He cited suchorganizations as the Oxford and Chi¬cago Political Unions as the idealforums for such preparation.Attacks Youth MovementsI.ippmann does not believe thatUniversity students should affiliatewith national youth movements. Hepointed to the role of such move- The noted columnist also pointedout the danger of becoming alliedwith a set political sect while still incollege. For illustration, he referredto his own experiences. Convertedto Fabian Socialism while a sopho¬more at Harvard, he later became.secretary to a Socialist mayor of aNew York municipality. As a re¬sult of this experience, coupled withhis vivid recollection of the regimen¬tation of the w^ar, he later reversedhis opinion and came to the conclu¬sion that Socialism was unworkableas a solution to men’s problems.Totalitarian States TemporaryBelieving that the war-starved gen¬eration was directly responsible forthe establishment of the totalitarianregimes in Europe, Lippmann feelsthat the states founded on this ba.siscannot last much beyond the genera¬tion which gave rise to them.Having begun as a student bandat the University of North Carolinaabout 12 years ago and since havingplayed to innumerable college groupsall over the country, Hal Kemp cur¬rently playing at the Drake Hotel isone (»f the most popular dance or¬chestras among collegians.

Over200 i)eople in the Graduate Educa¬tion lecture room heard Mrs. McCarnstate yesterday that the person welove most is not always the one w’eshould marry.In choosing, the individual shouldbe guided by such considerations asemotional maturity of the prospe:t-ive mate, tested by his readiness formarriage and his capacity for re¬sponsibility as a parent; his healthand intelligence; and his ability tomake decisions.Incapacity for marriage is oftenmanifested by a search for a mate'=‘‘"‘.1^, 1 of ChicaKo'Committee lor^Chinese“Probably the wor.st marriages Iwhere given parties are trying to find I „mate...when a man Theory of the Working Class,a!

The finalsin all events except the high jumpwill be held tomorrow.The mile run, originally scheduledto be run in the meet, has beeneliminated. Both the coaches and theIntramural managers felt that a milewas too far to expect Intramuralcontestants to run.The list of athletes ineligible forcompetition in the meet was releasedby Coaches Root and Merriam yester¬day, listing twenty-four varsity trackmen and nine freshmen.Competition should be stiff thisyear, as all men placing in the sixtyyard dash last year including Archi-pley, the winner, are back for competi¬tion. Also back are three of the menplacing in the quarter mile and sev¬eral good men in the field events, al¬though none of last year’s winnersare back.The predictions for the meet arethat it will develop into a three waystruggle between Alpha Delt, lastyear’s winner, Psi U and Deke. Thewinner will receive, according to In¬tramural faculty manager Herbert,“the best trophy ever given for anytrack meet here”.InformationOfficeThe following is a list of currentattractions for which the InformationOffice supplies tickets.

TheCYO boys put on the gloves with theNorthwestern men and nearly knockedthe entire squad through the ropes inone, two, three order. Yet the Purplesquad was exceptionally strong ascollege teams went; the CYO squadwas merely better, much better.Both the CYO and the AAU nowregularly hold tournaments for youngboxers; the competition is tough andthe boys, after a few years of fight¬ing, approximate the ability of mostprofessionals. W’hen it is consideredthat some CYO boxers begin trainingat about fifteen, and fight regularlywith boys in their own class for anumber of years, the Northwesternmassacre does not seem so strange.CYO TrainingIt has been the commendable pur¬pose of the CYO to give its boystraining in the manly arts, to enterthem in competition, and with theproceeds from the gate send themthrough college. But the boys came tocollege and coaches finding all thisprime material in their hands couldnot resist trying them in inter-schoolcompetition. And so, whenever an ex-CYO or AAU boy came up against acollege fighter who had only two orthree years of fighting under his belt,the results were major and minordisasters.Yearly at Penn State, inter-col¬legiate tournaments are still held,but competition is limited to thosewho have done all of their boxing incollege. In this way, college boxerscan now climb into a ring with someassurance that they won’t find JoeLouis there. However, few of theBig Ten schools support boxingsquads and Chicago is among thosethat does not. Nor does Northwestern—now.Tarpon Makes Plans forTelegraphic Swim MeetAudrey Mitchell, member-at-largefor Tarpon, has been selected as stu¬dent manager in charge of prepara¬tions for the Telegraphic Swim Meet,to be held on two days before March19.

TheTipoff« « *By SEYMOUR MILLERThis isn’t strictly sports news andEckhouse won’t like it, but it’s in¬teresting.Coach Hoffer was in Bartlett whenthe enthusiastic young promoters ofthe Washington Prom came up to lookaround and make plans.Eckhouse, so Hoffer’s story runs,looked the gym over carefully anddecided that drastic changes would benecessary.For one thing, the basketsand backboards had to be removed,for certainly they didn’t harmonizewith a Colonial motif. Then, all thebars and rings must be taken out,the weights and pulleys torn fromthe walls, the entire ceiling covered,the running track removed, the . . .Eckhouse was just shifting into sec¬ond at this point when Coach Hoffer,sort of hinted that such changeswould all cost money. So perhaps therunning track and weights will beleft as is.Students who have lockers in Bart¬lett need not be surprised if they re¬ceive notice within the next week toremove their gym clothes from thelockers and wash them well. This isanother Washington Prom committeeproposal. The reason is that thewomen are to be given the use ofthe locker room the night of the bigstruggle, and, of course, an odorwould be . . . Well, just thinking ofit makes me shudder.Coach Hoffer recalls stories ofprevious Washington Proms that wereheld in Bartlett. Most committees incharge of them forgot that thegymnasium was a pretty big place,and found to their sorrow that decora¬tors could not supply enough materialto fix up the place as swankily aswas desired. The usual result wasthat old drapery had to be dug out oflong-locked storerooms and hung inthe gym, giving the place somewhatthe appearance of a crazy quilt andsomewhat the odor of a dry goodsfactory. The furniture for the nightwas customarily supplied by thefraternities and any house that cameback early the next morning couldand sometimes did, get a few moreA FITWELL DRESS SUIT RENTAL CO.Fnll DreM, Cataway and Tuxedo SuitaSummer PormaU, Masquerade Coatumeaand Wraps to RentACCESSORIES FOR SALETrianon Building • 6207 Gottage Grov*Phone Plaxa 7310 || Water Polo Team WinsSixth Straight VictoryThe water polo team made it sixstraight victories in the city ParksAssociation last night when they de¬feated Ridge Park 4-1 at the latter’spool.The score at half was 3-0 an<l theMaroons, using several substitutionsm the second half, added one more.The starting lineup was Bob and JimAnderson and McLaury at guard-Bothwell, Van de Water and Schner-ing at forward; and Ferguson asgoal-tender.Track Squad BeatsLoyola Team, 77-lSThe Maroon track squad literallypulled away from Loyola in everyevent of their track meet Tuesday,losing only the high jump.
