W’ould you liketo have no fraternities, a chastizedDaily Maroon, a change in the collegeplan, a subsidized football team, lesspolitical activity or more Chapel Un¬ion? Or are things just dandy?Student opinion — your opinion —on this campus has had no real voice.Obviously the best way of expressingstudent opinion is for the students toexpress their opinions, and that iswhat the All-Campus Conference thisspring will do. The Conference issimply the getting together of a largegroup of students to tell how theUniversity’s educational program andsocial life have affected — or failedto affect — them. Aside from the in¬formation and ideas which are bound to come out of such a conference, themere bringing together of a largecross section of the student body tolisten to each other’s kicks and in¬spirations will help the students tounderstand each other and to realizewhat is going on in the University.It will give them a feeling of unity—“the school spirit”.* ♦The Conference will be held on thesuccessful week-ends of April 15-16and April 22-23.

Since it is much easier to re¬fute a man whose ideas you know only partially, wefearlessly rush in where wise men would fear to tread,and point out some of the weaknesses that appear inthe two rival systems that contend in the Universitycommunity, though not in the classroom—Marxism andAristotelianism. First then for Marx.The great attraction of Marxism as a world view isthat it offers a definite course of action to its adher¬ents. But this involves prophecy, and prophecy is adangerous field for him who seeks truth. It is fareasier to project one’s wishes on the future than onthe past. And the Marxian prophecy of a classlesssociety, in which each would consume according to hisneeds and produce according to his abilities, in whichmen would be free and civilized and good is as falla¬cious as any of its ancestors.This vision of an ideal society may be questioned onthe ground that human wants are insatiable, and be¬tween the satisfaction of this man’s wants and thatman’s wants, the only practicable basis of decision issocial status interacting with individual capacity. ButMarx would make the wants their own arbiters.This sort of criticism may however be warded offby saying that human nature would so be altered bythe new organization of production that argument frompresent individual psychology is impossible.But the skeptic can still challenge the proposedprocess by which the classless society is to be achieved.Revolution, it is recognized universally, would have tobe followed by dictatorship. Large groups in whoseinterest the present order operates would have to beliquidated, and the natural conservatism of all thosewho find life bearable under the present system wouldhave to be strenuously suppressed, and only dictator¬ship is equal to the task.According to the theory the dictatorship volun¬tarily renounces its power as these necessities pass.But would the men who constitute the dictatorshiprenounce their power? Voluntary abdications arerare in history, and even rarer among successfulgovernors. The change from private to state controlof the means of production, would mean that the sortof men who 50 years ago were drawn to private busi¬ness—the power and prestige seekers—would be drawnto the bureaucracy, and another revolution would benecessary to unseat this new vested interest, a revolu¬tion that would merely start the cycle again.No, there is something very wrong with Marxianprophecy. Arsenic —ANDAPPLESAUCEBy NED ROSENHEIMALL QUIETWe have been troubled by a feeling that we shouldprint some gossip one of these days. It’s not partic¬ularly our meat, but we’ve had the feeling that it wasa rather convenient ace-in-the-hole for us when thegeneral situation was pretty sterile. And now- we’vegot a perfect day for it, when nothing else seems tobe popping, and there’s no gossip!We have, however, gratified our curiosity, to someextent, on one particular subject. It’s about thosebeauty queens who were picked at the beginning ofthe year and what’s happened to them. We don’t knowabout the other nine, but we can say authoritativelythat Jane Anderson was just given a ticket for park¬ing her station wagon in the wrong place.SOCIAL PROBLEMWe have just been told about a couple who havechosen a unique spot and a prosaic time for their lov¬ing. It seems that one couple has been pitching a miteof woo on the back steps leading from the fourth floorof Social Science. We were going right over to investi¬gate the affair, but on second thought came back tothe typewriter. It wouldn’t be quite fair to uncoveranything, without at least giving them a warning.From now on, though, better watch out!OFF NIGHTWe’ve seen Mike Hanley’s emporium at almost everytime of the day or night and in every conceivable timeof year. But, hitherto Monday night has alwaysseemed sacred. We’ve sort of dedicated it to our week¬ly remorse due to the week-end excesses which precedeMonday. Last Monday, however, was an exceptionalone when, lured by advent of a Winnetka chum andbock beer, we visited Uncle Mike’s and saw what therewas to see. At first the hallowed hall was empty, savefor a few of the forlorn 55th street habitues, who man¬age to drink an awful lot of beer in a quiet and semi-lachrymose manner. Hardly more lively were a few’communists w’ho likewise drank the proletarian bever¬age without much apparent enjoyment. Things livenedup a bit with the appearance of a dozen of the Dekes,out to celebrate Art Goes’ election to the presidencyof the house. To the con.sternation, we suppose, of thecampus intellectuals, we might add that the Dekesappeared to enjoy themselves a good deal more, andseemingly in just as intelligent a fashion as the moreoutlandish folk who surround them.Then came the International House gang, who ap¬parently neither know nor fear the days of the week.Their party was distinguished by the presence of J. P.McEvoy, who, dragged from the pages of the SaturdayEvening Post by Dennis, seemed very much at home inHanley’s. The usual group was with him and listenedavidly to what Mr. McEvoy, a rather quiet man, hadto say. We should have liked to have listened too, butat this point, the sea.son’s first bock and our conscienceconspired to overcome us, and we hurried away, ratherfurtively, into the friendly night.

Manure enteredGoober’s Theological Seminary withevery intention of becoming a preach¬er. but unfortunately he wandered in¬to a course on “Evolutionary Biology”thinking he was attending a class in••Fundamental Doctrines.” When heaccidentally discovered his mistakethroe months later he had come tolike the work so well that he finallydecided to become a scientist.Therefore, after completing his sixyears at Goober’s, he entered thei’niversity of Derbytown. The glor¬ious history of this fount of theHigher Learning in America from thepurchase of the original tract of landfrom the Indians for three bottles ofwhiskey and two enameled night potsto the present time when its venerabletraditions, munificent endowment,superbly equipped scientific labora- jtories. internationally renowned schol¬ars and foreign born football teammake it by far the most outstandinguniversity in the world, is too wellknown by the public to warrant men¬tioning it now..Manure was discouraged from be- jcoming a physicist by a year’s unsuc- !cessful efToi-t to determine Bung-1starter’s constant, a concept namedafter that peerless genius so justlyrenowned for his invention of thecollapsible privy. But on ProfessorShoate’s archeological expedition toKgypt. Manure finally won recogni¬tion as a scientist of note. Dr. Shoate,an original thinker, was of the opin¬ion that the cess pools, backhouses,and garbage dumps of the ancientEgyptians must contain a wealth ofinformation about their civilizationvirtually untapped by human hand.In spite of a distressing accidentwhich occurred while Dr. Manure wasCopying some mural in.scriptions froman ancient outhouse, the expeditionwas highly successful, and its contri¬butions to science can only be esti¬mated.The limitations of space allow thenutitioning of only one more frag¬ment of Dr. Manure’s mellow exper¬ience with the subtleties involved inthe practical applications of the scien¬tific method. Professor Pfanstael ofthe department of Astronomy waspleased and then dismayed one day todisco\\>r a new comet. For after thecarefullest checking and recheckingof his calculations, he was forced toadmit that it would inevitably strikethe earth. Mindful of the hysteria in¬to which such a statement wouldthrow the masses, he further calcu¬lated the exact time it would hit andthe exact place, which happily turned ^•>ut to be' in a sparsely settled area. • THE DAILY MAROON, THURSDAY.

The suspect was released byHyde Park police when they failedto find evidence sufficient to warranthis arrest.Trusting Souls watch dogs or the tendency to keepthe doors locked at times when thehouse was vacated by most residents.CampusBriefs♦ * »Spanish RecordingsUniversity Spanish classes, makingOvercoats were taken in most cases • use of 65 recordings and 3 motion pic¬tures of Spaniards reciting a sadSpanish fable about a thirsty Arab,measure the mouth openings in thefilm for use in connection with studyof the Spanish language.The pictures were taken by Salo-men Trevino instructor in Spanish,five years ago when he journeyed toSpain to do research work in Spanish.Although the results of this workwere never published, the departmentcompared the recordings and filmswith similar records made in English,and in this way assisted Spanishstudents to understand their errors inpronunciation.during the noon hour when memberswere at lunch and when access to thehouse was easy. In another instance,a member of Phi Kappa Psi steppedout of his room only to return fiveminutes later and discover the lossof his watch and billfold.Most humorous side of the situa¬tion occurred at the Delta Upsilonhouse where the prowler was caughtin the act, only to escape with ajbagful of clothes, jewelry and anelectric razor, after he promised toleave a typewriter where he foundit.Psi U men were surprised onenight when they found a stranger onthe third floor looking for the serv¬ants in order to collect a milk bill.Doubting his integrity, he was ush¬ered out, went next door and ran intothe same difficulty.Comera StolenBiggest individual loss was suf¬fered by a member of Zeta Beta TauHe also discovered that the lighterelements in the comet would distilloff as it passed through the earth’satmosphere leaving the heavier ele¬ments such as silver, platinum andgold. Therefore he organized a stock-company to buy up the land uponwhich the comet would fall and brokeinto the money. When the comet didn’tcome on schedule he was momentar¬ily embarrassed, but finally found thata slight maladjustment of his mirrorshad thrown his calculations off andthat it was really due in two thousandyears. Of course, his stock is stillvery safe as a long time investment.No sane person would seriously con¬sider the rumor being circulated bysome cynic that the Pfanstael cometwas really the light on a milk truckthat was proven to have passed theprofes.sor’s home during the time hemade his observations.

Illinois is the team titleholderin wrestling, while Ohio State de¬fends the fencing championship andIowa the gymnastics title.Favor Maroons in FencingThe Maroons are heavy favoritesto take the fencing crown. They arefar ahead of all other Big Ten teamsin dual competition, and would al¬ready have won the championship iflast year’s rules were still in force.Chicago’s chances are considerablyhelped by the graduation of BobFickell and Marvin Amster, of OhioState, epee and foils victors respec¬tively.Gymnastics is the only other meetin which the Maroons stand much ofa chance of winning. Only four teamsare entered and competition betweenthree, Chicago, Illinois and Minne-sota, should be close.For the seventh successive yearChicago is host to the trackmen inthe Fieldhouse. Only three individ¬ual champions are back: ChuckFenske, of Wisconsin, in the mile;Bill Watson, Michigan Negro, in theshot put; and Stan Robinson of Illi¬nois in the 70-yard high hurdles. Ma¬roon fans will be expecting GeorgeHalcrow to duplicate his victory inthe 440-yard run in the outdoor meetlast year.Six of the seven individual swim¬ming titles will be defended, four ofthem by Michigan entries and theother two by Ohio State men. Cap¬tain Ed Kirar of the Wolverinesagain is entered in the 50 and 100yard free style events, and Tom Hay-nie will endeavor to repeat his tri¬umphs of 1937 in the 220 and 440yard free style races.

ArsenicANDiflPPLESAUCEWhat's Wrong With MarxSporadically in the past few week.' a few basicpropositions have been advanced in this column thatcould form the core of a new s>nthesis of knowledge,in the light of which University teaching might re¬cover unity and coherence.Rut every Sunnun demands a Coutra Gentiles; anysystematist must refute his predecessor.s in order tofeel properly secure. Since it is much easier to re¬fute a man whose ideas you know only i)artially. wefearlessly rush in where wise men would fear to tread,and point out some of the weaknesses that appear inthe two rival sy.stems that contend in the Universitycommunity, though not in the classroom—Marxism andAristotelianism. First then for Marx.The great attraction of Marxism as a world view isthat it offers a definite course of action to its adher¬ents. Rut this involves prophecy, and prophecy is adangerous field for him who seeks truth. It is fareasier to project one’s wishes on the future than onthe past. And the Marxian prophecy of a classlesssociety, in which each would consume according to hisneeds and produce according to his abilities, in whichmen would be free and civilized and good is as falla¬cious as any of its ancestors.This vision of an ideal society may he questioned onthe ground that human wants are insatiable, and be¬tween the satisfaction of this man’s wants and thatman’s wants, the only practicable basis of decision issocial status interacting with individual capacity. RutMarx would make the wants their own arbiters.This sort of criticism may however be warded offby saying that human nature would so be altered bythe new organization of production that argument frompresent individual psychology is impossible.Rut the skeptic can still challenge the propo.'^edprocess by which the classless society is to be achieved.Revolution, it is recognized universally, would have tobe followed by dictatorship. Large groups in whoseinterest the present order operates would have to beliquidated, and the natural conservatism of all thosewho find life bearable under the present sy.'tem wouldhave to be strenuously «;uppressed, and only dictator¬ship is equal to the task.According to the theory the dictatorship volun¬tarily renounces its power as these necessities pass.But would the men who constitute the dictatorshiprenounce their power? Voluntary abdications arerare in history, and even rarer among successfulgovernors. The change from private to state controlof the means of production, would mean that the sortof men who 50 years ago were drawn to private busi¬ness—the power and prestige seekers—would be drawnto the bureaucracy, and another revolution would benecessary to unseat this new vested interest, a revolu¬tion that would merely start the cycle again.No, there is something very wrong with Marxianprophecy. By NED ROSENHEIMALL QUIETWo have boon troubled by a feeling that we shouldprint some gossip one of these days. It’s not partic¬ularly our meat, hut we’ve had the feeling that it wasa rather convenient ace-in-tho-hole for us when thegeneral situation was pretty sterile. .And now we’vegot a perfect day for it, when nothing else seems tobe popping, and there’s no gossip!M’e have, however, gratified our curiosity, to someextent, on one particular subject. It’s about thosebeauty epueens who were picked at the beginning ofthe year and what's happened to them. We don’t knowabout the other nine, but we can say authoritativelythat ,Tane .-Anderson wa.s just given a ticket for park¬ing her station wagon in the wrong place.SOCIAL PROBLEMWe have ju.'t been told about a couple who havechosen a unique spot and a prosaic time for their lov¬ing. It seems that one couple has been pitching a miteof woo on the hack steps leading from the fourth floorof Social Science. We were going right over to investi¬gate the affair, but on second thought came hack tothe typewriter. It wouldn’t be quite fair to uncoveranything, without at least giving them a warning.From now on, though, better watch out!OFF NIGHTWe’ve seen Mike Hanley’s emporium at almost everytime of the day or night and in every conceivable timeof y’car. Rut, hitherto Monday night has alwayussecm.ed sacred. We’ve sort of dedicated it to our week¬ly' remorse due to the week-end excesses which precedeMonday’. Last Monday, however, was an exceptionalone when, lured by advent of a Winnetka chum andbock beer, we visited Uncle Mike’s and saw what therewas to see. At fir.-^t the hallowed hall was empty, savefor a few of the forlorn 55th street habitues, who man¬age to drink an awful lot of beer in a quiet and semi-lachrymose manner. Hardly more lively were a fewcommunists who likewise drank the proletarian bever¬age without much apparent enjoyment. Things livenedup a bit with the appearance of a dozen of the Dekes,out to celebrate Art Goes’ election to the presidencyof the house. To the consternation, we suppose, of thecampus intellectuals, we might add that the Dekesappeared to enjoy themselves a good deal more, andseemingly in just as intelligent a fashion as the moreoutlandish folk w’ho surround them.Then came the International House gang, who ap¬parently neither know nor fear the days of the week.Their party was distinguished by the presence of ,T. P.McEvoy, w^ho, dragged from the pages of the SaturdayEvening Post by Dennis, seemed very muclj at home inHanley’s. The usual group was with him and listenedavidly to what Mr. McEvoy, a rather quiet man, hadto say. We should have liked to have listened too, butat this point, the season’s first bock and our conscienceconspired to overcome us, and we hurried away, ratherfurtively, into the friendly night.V’ol. 38 M.4RCH 3. 1938 No. 77^Lhc UailuiRanuniFOUNDED IN 1901MEMBER ASSOCIATED COLLEGIATEPRESSThe Daily Marcxin 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.

Somber, tall, and darklyhandsome, he shakes liands limply,laughs sparingly and talks monoto¬nously through even teeth.
