The eight-page edition will con¬tain Spring fashion hints for bothmen and women. One of the country’s leading an¬thropologists, Alfred L. Kroeber, yes¬terday characterized himself as not“having promulgated any doctrine, or¬iginated any slogan or founded anyschool,” and hence as being hard tolabel.Kroeber, who is a visiting profes¬sor at the University this quarter, ar¬rived on campus Monday. A smallman with white hair and a goatee,he looks like the personification ofall distinguished scientists.In the more than 40 years that hehas been studying anthropology. Pro¬fessor Kroeber has seen the subjectgrow from the status of a compara¬tively insignificant science to a prom¬inent place in the university curricu¬lum. “There has been a steady andhealthy growth of interest in anthro¬pology,” he declared, “although, for¬tunately, no sudden flare-up.”Interest IncreasesTwenty-five years ago newspaperswould pass up anthropological newsas being too scientific, but now theycome around and beg for it, and ifthere is nothing important, they takesomething unimportant and make itinto a spectacular story. The increase,on the part of the public, of interestin anthropology, especially in any¬thing pertaining to the distant past,Kroeber attributes mainly to the factthat the average person is much bet¬ter informed about the subject todaythan he was 25 years ago.Kroeber did his undergraduate andgraduate work at Columbia, receiv¬ing the Ph.D, degree in 1901. Comingto California shortly afterward, hefound there an almo.st virgin field ofstudy for an anthropologist. Mostof his field work has consisted ofethnological studies among the Cal¬ifornia Indians. He has also madeseveral archeological expeditions toThe only conclusions which can bedrawn from this record are that eith¬er the junior examinations were in¬efficient, or too much was expected ofthe students who passed them in com¬parison with the quality of instruc¬tion they received.With the slightly better record oftbe Law School in this respect mustbe considered the fact that a middleC average is required for passingfrom first year to second, and a highC in order to go from second to thirdyear. A B average must be main¬tained for graduation. Since no LawSchool examination is comparable tothe Bachelor’s comprehensives ofother divisions, the first year gradeswill be taken as indicative. In the ex¬aminations last year 33 per cent ofthe students taking them were notpassed into the second year of thecourse.Following is a summary of thegrade distribution of the two schoolsfor last year.A B C D FBusiness School 3 18 60 28 28Law School 112 108 241 132 94Daily Maroon PollsStudents to DetermineOpinion on ActivitiesThe Daily Maroon will conduct apoll of student opinion next week todetermine, if possible, what phases ofUniversity life the students feel arebeing neglected, and to determinewhat pattern students would like tosee activities take in their futuredevelopment. Ballots for the poll,which is to be conducted Tuesdaynoon, will be available at all campuseating places, fraternity houses, andat the men’s and women’s dormi¬tories.The questions on the poll wereselected by the Maroon because theyseemed to touch upon those phasesof student life which are perenniallythe subject of student discussion, orbecause they represented questionsabout which no student opinion hasever definitely been expressed. Theresults of the poll will be publishedin next Wednesday’s Maroon. Peru and Mexico, the last one beingin 1929, and has done some work inSouth America and the Mississippivalley.Missed AdventureIn all the time he has spent in re¬mote places, he has never had anyexciting adventures of the type com¬monly encountered by journalist-ex¬plorers, Kroeber declared, regrettingthat he couldn’t tell the reporter anyexciting stories.He is now professor at the Univer¬sity of California, and is founder andex-president of the American An¬thropological Association, member ofthe Academy of Sciences, and a for¬mer president of the American Folk¬lore Society.Simon DiscussesCity ManagershipKelly-Nash Machine Mem¬bers Refuse to Partici¬pate in Debate.Because they heard a rumor thatJames Weber Linn, Horner-backedcandidate for state representative,was to be one of the speakers, mem¬bers of the Kelly-Nash machine re¬fused to participate in the discussionon city managership at the PoliticalUnion meeting tomorrow at 2:30 inLaw South. Instead of the previous¬ly scheduled debate, therefore, Her¬bert A. Simon, PACH’s expert on thecity manager plan, will defend thequestion: “Resolved: That this Unionbelieves that city managership is thebest form of local government.”Clear GalleryAt the close of the regular meet¬ing, the gallery will be cleared for ashort business meeting during whichthe executive committee will be ques-tione<l by members of the Union asto the running of the Union, and mo¬tions will be made as to its develop¬ment, including discussions of fi¬nances and publicity.At its meeting yesterday, the ex¬ecutive committee nominated to fillthe place remaining after the Con¬servative party purge, and choseGeorge McElroy, Marshall Hanleyand Audrey Eichenbaum to fill va¬cancies left by the Liberal purge.Paul Goodman of the Conservativeparty and Emil Jarz of the Liberalsw'ere .selected to support the citymanager resolution, and LiberalsBud Wolf and Willis Shapley werenamed to collaborate in attacking it.A speaker from the Radical party,who will oppose the question, will bechosen tomorrow^.Colum Speaks Tonighton Contemporary PoetryOn his second visit to the Univer¬sity, Padraic Colum, final speaker onthe Moody Lecture series, will speakon “Contemporary Poetry.” The lec¬ture is to be held in Mandel hall at8:30 tonight.Colum is an Irish poet who is wellknown in this country not onlythrough his poetry but also throughhis children’s books. He has been inthis country for several years, mak¬ing speaking tours. Among Colum’sbooks are “The Road Round Ireland,”“Cross Roads in Ireland,” “Dramat¬ic Legends and Other Poems,” “CastleConquer,” and “Orpheus: Myths ofthe World.”Colum, whose first visit to the cam¬pus was in 1927, will be introducedtonight by David Grene, instructorin the department of Greek.8 DaysTILL THECAMPUS CONGRESSApril 14, 15, 21, 22 Panel Discussion LeadersThursday, April 14, 7:30PublicationsJohn Morris, John Barden, BlandButton, Marsh AshinAthleticsTommy Flinn, William McNeill,Hilgard Pannes, Demarest Pola-checkArtistic expressionLillian Schoen, Lynn Hedelman,Betty Abney, Robert WagonerReligionJohn Van de Water, George Hal-crow, Emmett Deadman, FrankMeyer, Jerome MoritzPoliticsJoe Rosenstein, Dennis McEvoy,Robert Brumbaugh, Dick Lind-heimSocial SystemCharles Hoy, Winnie Leeds,Ralph Leach, Jesse ReedFriday, April 15, 3:30AthleticsThomas Stauffer, Hart Perry,Robert UptonReligionJohn Van de Water, EmmettDeadman, John MarksServicesBetty Robbins, Bill Speck, BillWebbe, Ray EllicksonPoliticsBill Cooper, Ned Rosenheim,Ralph Rosen, Bob MerriamJobsJim Leonard, Sid Merlin, BobAndersonSocial systemRobert Eckhouse, Lucille Bar¬ron, George Halcrow, Jack Con¬way.McMillen Talksto MembershipMeeting of ASUWayne McMillen, independentDemocrat running for state senatorin the Fifth Senatorial District, willaddress the ASU’s first full member¬ship meeting of the quarter this af¬ternoon at 3:30 in Rosenwald 2.

Halcrow to Meet withWorkers in Daily Ma¬roon Office.Preparations for the Campus Con¬gress, April 14, 15, 21, 22, go intohigh gear today according to GeorgeHalcrow, Senior Class president, withthe completion of the roster of stu¬dent discussion leaders for the firstweekend of the Congress, publishedin the adjoining column.Cards are being sent out today tothose who have indicated that theywould be willing to work on the Con¬gress, asking them to report to Hal¬crow in the Maroon office any after¬noon between 3:30 and 5. Work theywill do includes the conduct of theproposed poll of the College on ques¬tions relating to the College plan, re¬cruiting of delgates through con¬tacting organizations and individualsrecommended by faculty members,mailing letters to students and dele¬gates, and otherwise assisting in theadvertising of the Congress.Discuss Religion, PoliticsOutstanding among the proposeddiscussions are the pair on religion,the pair on politics, and the pair onthe social system. The first discus¬sion on religion will bring CommunistFrank Meyer into collision with Chap¬el Unionite John Van de Water, ag¬nostic George Halcrow, “liberal” Em¬mett Deadman, and slicker JeromeMoritz. They will discuss the questionof whether religious doctrines aretenable in view of modern scientificknowledge, and if there is any otherjustifiable basis for religious activity.Debating the question of whetherstudents should be social reformerswill be Joe Rosenstein, chapel unionliberal, Dennis McEvoy, good heartedliberal, Robert Brumbaugh, darkbrowed philosophical conservative,and radical Dick Lindheim.What should be done about fra¬ternities will agitate Charles Hoy,slightly disillusioned campus big shot,Winnie Leeds, pretty communist,Ralph Leach, head of the Interfra¬ternity Council, and Jesse Reed, pres¬ident of the Negro Student club. Thesecond discussion of the social sys¬tem will consider how a better campuscommunity can be built, and will bringtogether Robert Eckhouse, chairmanof the Social Committee, Lucille Bar-I’on, vigorous Chapel Unionite, GeorgeHalcrow, senior class president, andJack Conway, chairman of the ChapelUnion.Debaters Warm Up forConference Meet onArbitration QuestionTwo University debaters had a bigday yesterday in a pair of w-arm-upmeets for the Big 'Ten Debate Meetto be held here over the weekend.George Probst, head of the DebateUnion, and Marshall Hanley took bothsides of the question: Resolved, thatthe NLRB should be empowered toenforce compulsory arbitration to allindustrial disputes.

Probst and Hanleytook the negative against the Stateteam of Fred Young and ThomasConway.In the evening the Chicagoans re¬versed their stand and took the affir¬mative against a Mount Mercy dele¬gation headed by Ann McConnell."The girls’ team, whom even Probstadmitted were “beautiful” came as“emissaries of good will.” They pro¬vided the last competition that theChicagoans will meet until they gointo action against the other schoolsin the Big Ten Saturday and Sun¬day.Seek Election WatchersStudents interested in w'atchingpolls in the primary elections nextTuesday for James Weber Linn, can¬didate for state representative, orWayne McMillen, candidate for statesenator, should contact Graham Fair-bank, Hart Perry, Ruth Brody orLeonard Karlin.Surveg Shows 20 Percent ofBusiness School Students FailedBy JUDY FORRESTERPage Two THE DAILY MAROON. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 6, 1938PLATFORM1. Creation oi a vigorous campus coinmunity«2. Abolition oi intercollegiate athletics.3. Progressive politics.4. Revision oi the College Plan.Student UnionEveryone agrees that the campus is impersonal,cold and fragmented. A letter such as that run in theMaroon yesterday shows definite animus exists amongsome of the unattached students against the smallnumber of students in the thick of things. The an¬imus between the radical camaraderie, the ChapelUnion fellowship, and the fraternity-club circle is sub¬dued but easily recognizable.Toward the Chapel Union the University is afoster nurse; toward the fraternity-club circle it variesfrom indifference to subsidy, as activity ranges fromfraternities to organizations like the Dramatic Associa¬tion. Toward the radicals, the University is hostile,holding them to the letter of its regulations. Towardthe average unattached the University is completelyindifferent.The effectiveness of benevolent paternalism increating a strong organization of otherwise unattachedstudents is demonstrated by the Chapel Union. Unfor¬tunately the association with religion, while it scarcelyinhibits the activity of the Union, does repel many. Itis they who at present only half use the Universitythrough lack of satisfactory relations with their fellowstudents. The informal education of conversation isnot to be despised, standing beside classroom and li¬brary in a complete education.There is a relatively simple change which could bemade to help bind these students into the campuscommunity—the transformation of the Reynolds clubinto a student union. There has been considerable talkabout such a change already. A student organizationin the Reynolds club would provide the needed corearound which commuting student social life mightcrystallize. The relationship of the student directorsto Howard Mort would be like that of the intra-muralmanagers to Wally Hebert.At other campuses Student Unions have been emi-• nently successful. Weekly dances, like those at Fhirdueor Michigan, are probably too much for a campus sur¬rounded by a metropolis where living off campus is thenormal situation. But monthly or even bi-monthlydances are not. Open houses and, yes, teas for thewhole student body naturally suggest themselves.More important is the role a student union could havein facilitating the formation and providing the spacefor smaller informal “clubs.” The intimacy of smallsocial units is the only effective antidote to the im¬personality of the campus. A student organization,with a building at its disposal would be in a positionto multiply such clubs.But if a Student Union is to be successful, it willrequire money and the imagination and labor of stu¬dents The first step is the recommendation by theCampus Congress that such a Union be set up. Withsuch an endorsement by a large number of the stu¬dents, sufficient assurance will be given the Dean’soffice and student leaders to warrant expenditure oftime and money on the establishment of a Union. QuestandInquestBY LAURA BERGQUISTCOMES THE REVOLUTIONBeing a very ordinary kind of bourgeois with avery conventional kind of mind, we’d always sneaking-ly suspicioned that Communist parties would be prettyracy affairs.. .with heavy palls of cigarette smokeand lots of dissipation floating about.But Johnny Marks, red-headed chief smoothie ofCommunist socialite ranks completely blasted our hopesto Hades with his rational account of Marxian shin¬digs. First and most disillusioning of all, came theblow that Communists actually hold parties for verysordid capitalistic reasons.. .merely to make money.Their formula is quite a well-known one. Communistsview wolf-at-the-door, shiver, plan a money-raisingparty. Party Loses Money. Communists shiver, plananother party to bolster up the deficit, lose moneyand shiver all over again...just a vicious cycle.They also have the old freshman-mixer problemon their hands. They have battled long and ferventlyto get more timid feminine comrades to throw conven¬tions to the winds and come without dates. Otherwisethey really do quite innocent and childish things. Theydance and watch movies and play games and eat suchimpossible combinations as red hots, cheese sandwichesand pink lemonade.. .keep an eye open for possiblesociologists who might attend to study their queerfolkways... and when the Loyalist situation looks a bitmore on the cheery side, end up the whole affair in awild fit of folk dancing.Which makes them quite proper affairs boastingeven the benign approval of the dean’s office whichrequires only that Communist kiddies have chaperones,and get home at a reasonable hour. Even Audrey Neff,broad-minded new president of YWCA, has been glimpsedat one of their revels to say nothing of Alpha DeltHart Perry. Which may or may not be significant.AND HOW THE OTHER HALF LIVES ’Trotskyites have their own exclusive little bunchand their own little meetings and their own littleparties, since they wouldn’t be caught dead at a Com¬munist party and vice versa. The apartment of BudOgren,Winston Ashley and Leo Shields usually providesheadquarters for their generally intellectual rendezvouswhere people play Lexicon, discuss the soul, and eatspaghetti, made in a dishpan, off of paper plates.. .Onlyclaim to fame rests in the cryptic little note whichcan be found above the kitchen sink which states that“Adler owes Bud $2.”It all makes the Senior prom look a little on thepale, wan side— Today on theQuadranglesLECTURES“Social Space: An Attempt at aComparative Analysis of Society.

Having observedthe manner in which you disposed ofAristotle, Marx and Hutchins amongothers with a few murderous strokesof the pen, I would not dare addressyou the ordinary letter. Thus, Seatof W'isdom, you must look upon thefollowing as a statement of what youknow in a manner you probably can’tunderstand.I have been troubled by some of thetopics chosen for discussion at theforthcoming Campus Congress which,if the hirelings of Halcrow and Mor¬ris are to be believed, will take placeon or about the fourteenth of thismonth. The topic which troubles memost is: “Can students be artists?”I don’t know, can they? Judging fromthe literary efforts of this campus(excluding those which appear in theDaily Maroon, of course) the answerto this great question appears to bein the negative. Perhaps the air inChicago is not favorable for thebreeding or rearing of artists. Per¬haps the atmosphere of the Univer¬sity, more especially the whimsicalarchitecture with which we areblessed, does not encourage the sensi¬tive nature of the artist. Perhaps theflame of artistic genius cannot findfuel in this environment. Perhaps itall has to do with sun-spots. As anauthority on the air of Chicago, theatmosphere of the University, whim¬sical architecture, the nature of theartist and the flame of artistic genius(along with your knowledge of Aris¬totle, Marx and Hutchins) you will,of course, be able to answer thesequestions which trouble me. I haveomitted sun-spots not because Idoubt that you are an authority onthat subject too but because only Godcan be omniscient—and make trees. Imagine my surprise as an old Tal¬mudic scholar from County Kerryand a commentator on early Nestoriandocuments to find the following topiclisted among those to be discussed:“Is religion necessaryt” Necessaryfor what? It’s like asking if theweight of an elephant is necessary.All people have a religion even if itis the religion of non-rcligion—atopic which might bo more fruitfullydiscussed under the heading: “Is aknowledge of the English languagenecessary?” Perhaps the merits oi‘demerits of the various organized re¬ligions are to be argued. I predict, inthis event, that there will be afascinating inter-change of quarter-truths, belligerent affirmations offaith and impassioned argument adhominem. Religion has been defineda.s superstition dignified by the addi¬tion of theology. The round table onreligion should be a wonder to be¬hold—but not dignified.Under the heading of Services wefind the following: “Students mu.steat and sleep—but how?” Now I ven¬ture to predict that students will eatand sleep in the future much as theyhave eaten and slept in the past. Rash,I admit, but nevertheless I feel onfirm ground. If the question is to beinterpreted: “How will students ob¬tain room and board” the discussionwill take place in the realm of tnevisionary. In Russia, I am told by myradical friends who are admittedlyauthorities on the subject, studentsare paid for going to school. They arerightfully reimbursed for servicesrendered or to be rendered. In thiscountry, the relationship existing be¬tween family, school and concept ofeducation as a luxury seems to makethe discussion a little pointless.Change the country! — comes thechorus from the left. The chorus is alittle sour considering their longpractice.The Campus Congress will serve afunction. It will bring together a goodnumber of boys and girls who havenever met before under the guise ofintelligent discussions. The blind willlead the blind, but, as the countrynewspapers say, “a good time will be(Continued on page 3) SSPRING BRINGS TENNIS IGOOD TENNIS MEANS CAREFULLY CHECKEDEQUIPMENT.

Filene, a Boston merchantand philanthropist, organized theCredit Union National ExtensionBureau, the activities of which he hasfinanced during the time of its exist¬ence. The idea spread rapidly andtoday there are approximately 2,500unions organized under federal lawsand over 6,000 unions organized understate laws. Thirty-eight states as wellas the F'ederal government have lawsgoverning these unions. Although or¬ganized and operated entirely byService Awards -(Continued from page 1)teson.
