By JUDY FORRESTERThe college sequence courses showmore clearly than any others the lackof any unity or system in grading atthe University. From “snap” courseswhich would be welcomed at the loud¬est Joe College school in the coun¬try, they range all the way to theMathematics 104 sequence, which lastyear passed 29 students and failed 26in the same examination.

Swenson, a magic perfor¬mance that will keep the audienceglued to the seats, the sweet flowingsongs of veterans Ted Fink and Vir¬ginia Shilton and the original rendi¬tions of footballer Bob Fitzgerald.This being Spring, and what withthe Daily Maroon publishing a Styleedition tomorrow, the Prom will un¬doubtedly set the style in springfashions. In spite of snow, the latestin both men’s and women’s wear isexpected to be on view.Lasting for four hours, from 9 to1 at International House, the Promwill afford students an opportunity to“let off” before the long and hardroad to studying for comprehensivesbegins. “Is there really any contemporarypoetry?” inquired Padraic Colum,final speaker in the Moody lectureseries at Mandel hall last night.“There are many contemporary poets,but do they represent the widest andhighest range of contemporarythought?” Shelley and Keats, he said,knew all that was going on in thescience and politics of their day;poets of our time are still writingabout the same kind of nature Word¬sworth used for subject matter.Finding the tremendous changes inpolitics, science, and business occur¬ring in our own time one reason forthe “belatedness” of subject matter,Colum pointed out the difficulty ourage has in perceiving forms by whicheverything in the world has its ownFox, Koven CollaborateOn Three Melodies for“Where in the World”Benum Fox, freshman violinist whowrites, then plays, his own music, hasbeen spotted for a specialty numberin the 1938 Blackfriars production,“Where in the World.” Fox has alsowritten lyrics for a number of hitmelodies turned out by Howard Ko¬ven, ex-Burton court freshman. Threeof the Blackfriars songs on which theteam have collaborated are “ThunderWithout the Rain,” “My MammaTold Me No,” and a marching song,“Soldiers of the King.”Production work for the show, to bestaged May 6, 7, 12, 13, and 14, goeson with final designs completed forthe three major sets of a night clubscene, a rustic medieval inn, and acastle courtyard. The modern night¬club drop, according to Leo O’Neill,is to be a “semi-nude” painted by aprofessional designer.Completing casting for the show,Frank Meyers was assigned the partof Baron Jake Schmulbein, villain ofthe piece. particular character. “Such a phraseas ‘funeral parlor’ fills me with hor¬ror and terror!” he exclaimed; “itimposes a social form on the greatform of death.” Another example ofthe obliteration of distinctions is thephrase “companionate marriage”which confuses with “the social formcompanionate, something entirely dif¬ferent.” In the great ages, (jolumthinks, people knew the forms andpoured their whole creative energiesinto them.In spite of this blurring of formand backwardness of subject matter,Colum found enough truly contempor¬ary poetry, though isolated and frag¬mentary, to justify continuing hislecture on the topic. As an exampleof a new consciousness of nature inpoetry, he read Walter James Turn¬er’s “Old Men in Love.” Looking toT. S. Eliot as an author who treatsof metropolitan man cut off from thecountryside, he read “Sweeny Amongthe Nightingales.”From the works of William ButlerYeats, whom he considers the great¬est poet of our time, Colum recited“Sailing to Byzantium.” Americanpoets whose writing he praised in¬clude Robert Frost and ArchibaldMacLeish.Turning to his own poetry, Columapologized. “I am a belated writer”he said smilingly. “First I wroteabout men and women; then birds andbeast; and now I write about flowersand trees. In this order of descensioninto the inorganic world I may writeabout metals next.”7 DaysTILL THECAMPUS CONGRESSApril 14, 15, 21, 22 George Halcrow, president of theSenior Class, which is sponsoring theCampus Congress, will be in theMaroon office today from 3:30 to 5 toreceive petitions of individual dele¬gates to the Congress.

Attwell, nominee forstate representative.Support Linn, SmithThe story is a long and compli¬cated one. McMillen’s men at firstintended to back both Linn and Pro¬fessor T. V. Smith, who is a candi¬date for congressmen-at-large fromIllinois. When Smith announced hisintention last February to relinquishhis post as state senator from theFifth District and to run for con¬gressman-at-large, the Horner-Court-ney machine chose Linn as its nomi¬nee for Smith’s vacant position. Atthe same time, a group of indepen¬dent progressive Democrats, anxiousto prevent a Kelly-Nash senatorialvictory, drafted McMillen to try togain Smith’s chair. McMillen, how¬ever, refused to endanger Linn’schances, and his backers were forcedto put him up for representative.Meanwhile, the Horner forces de¬cided that Linn’s best chance to winlay in the race for representative, be¬cause of an anomaly of election ma¬chinery. A nominee for the positionof representative receives three votesinstead of one if each of his support¬ers ballots for only one candidate,rather than casting the three votesto which he is entitled. On the theorythat Linn could marshal a good-sizedgroup willing to support him alone,the Horner men switched him on theticket to the position of state repre-(Continued on page 3)PU Holds CityManager DebatePolitical Union members will hearHerbert A.

Creation of a vigorous campus community.2. Abolition of intercollegiate athletics.3. Progressive politics.4. Revision of the College Plan.5. A chastened president.English RevolutionThe English department is undergoing a revolution.Led by Professor Ronald S. Crane and Assistant Pro¬fessor Norman Maclean, a portion of the staff is mak¬ing a determined attempt to understand literature, orrather literary excellence, so supplementing the con¬ventional English training which rests content withknowing about literature and ‘appreciating’ it.Like most revolutions, its path is not untroubled.Last spring about 44 per cent of the students who ex¬pected to scrape by under the old standards that madeit possible to graduate without taking the courses sim¬ply by slobbering appreciation, failed the Bachelor’sexamination, and objected loudly.More important is the dissatisfaction with the newregime manifest among some of the faculty members.Personal animosities, perhaps, largely account for thehuff which wrapped Fred Millett as a blanket uponhis departure for a year’s leave of absence to teach atWesleyan University, from which he almost certainlywill not return. But uncertainty as to the result of thenew regime disturbs not a few of the other membersof the English faculty.The whole attempt to understand literary excellence,is a part of a larger attempt to find the place of artsin an intellectual education. The effort to find a co¬herence through the whole University has led Profes¬sor Crane to try to make the study of English litera¬ture an intellectual as well as an historical and emo¬tional exercise. He has tried to find why aesthetic ex¬perience is as it is.There is no doubt that the attempt is 'laudable. Ifa genuinely satisfactory explanation of artistic excel¬lence had been achieved, the role of the English depart¬ment would be clear and simple. It would teach theprinciples underlying literature and all art, and pro¬ceed to find the application of the principles in par¬ticular works.But Until such an explanation is formulated thisprocedure is inadequate. Sometimes Maclean, at least,forgets this. He dissects Shelley’s Skylark, and findsa symbolic abstract conflict and resolution in its stan¬zas. Aside from the fact that each man’s symbolismis his own, it is surely an incomplete aesthetics thatreduces a poem to symbolic dialectic. Yet this is whatMaclean’s version of the new attempt at the under¬standing of literature tends to become.Until a more satisfactory explanation of men’ssensitivity to beauty is achieved it is a barren andstunting thing to rule out unexplained appreciation.This, too, the new English department tends to do.The revolution has gone from one extreme to theother, from neglect of the attempt to understand artis¬tic excellence to obsession with the at best partiallysuccessful attempt to understand artistic excellence. Itis perhaps this feeling that disturbs some of the Eng¬lish staff. ArsenicANDAPPLESAUCEBy NED ROSENHEIMSNOWIt is April and we are in the midst of a blizzard andpeople whose business it is to make unnecessary ob¬servations are remarking about it on all sides. Forthis reason, we refrain from any sort of comment ex¬cept to state emphatically that we don’t like it.The snow does cause a lot of trouble. It kept sev¬eral score conscientious students of English 141 wait¬ing this morning for an instructor who never arrived.It deepened the look of discontent on the sunburnedfaces of such folk as Hamity, Freeman, Goldsmith, Van-deWater, et al., as they yearned for the tropics theyhad visited during Vacation. Driving was difficult andit is doubtful whether a big car like the “large bul¬bous, black Lincoln,’’ which has called at various times,for Audrey Smith of Kelly and Oshkosh, could evenmake its way on a day like this. Reversing the Eng¬lish 141 situation was that of David Grene, the Greekinstructor whom many people, including your corre¬spondent, are coming to worship. Mr. Grene arrivedat a ten o’clock class to find not a member there, buttwo visitors who wondered if their presence wouldn’tmake the crowd too large.BEG YOUR PARDONWe haven’t been able to decide whether it was weor the proofreaders who made this column intimate thatTeddy Schmidt “was above’’ lending us a helping hand.As anyone who knows Teddy might have guessed, weoriginally said, and hereby repeat, that she is not aboverendering aid to lame-brained columnists. (Now, damnit, linotypers, try and make a libel suit out of that!)CYCLESWe just saw a lad riding a bike through about teninches of snow and are reminded to mention the campusbicycles, something we’ve been planning to do. They’rethickest in the law sfchool where one second year manrides to school with his wife on a tandem every day.Then there’s Irwin Askow’s English bike, three gears,handlebar brakes and all. He rides it pretty beauti¬fully now, but We remember a morning in London, lessthan a year ^o, when he and an unidentified comradeeach rented a cycle. They started to ride back to theirboarding house, but traffic got too heavy for them. Sothey hailed a cab, piled the bikes on the cab roof, andarrived at their front door, shattered, and wonderingwhether or not to sell the things back.There’s also an unidentified red job, parked in frontof Social Science every day. If any one knows whoowns it, dig your way through (the snow) and let usknow.What About the University?Intended to be thought provoking,the discussion set forth in this columnThursday contained a criticism of theCollege surveys. Today’s article, whileexpressing the opinion of a singlestudent, is again merely an effort tobring out student expression of thedefects of our University. Such ex¬pression will be given at the CampusCongress.Social Science 201 CoursesThe Social Sciences are unique intheir divisional requirements. Everystudent is supposed to take the intro¬ductory course in five departments ofthe Social Sciences outside of hisown specialty. One evil here lies inthe fact that students may try toavoid the supposedly hardest, notablyeconomics. Since economics, politicalscience, and sociology are basic, itseems advisable that every studentbe required to take these threecourses.Of the 201’s, Anthropolgy is prob¬ably the best in that it emphasizesthe significance of its discoveries andyet presents an extensive view of thefacts.Education, tries to give everything,but unfortunately too much emphasisis laid on studying the history ofeducation and its conditions andtrends in America today instead ofdevoting the time to a study ofbroad educational theories, psycho¬logy, and teaching techniques.Economics 201 presents a fewfundamental theoretical principles onwhich most of the entire structure ofeconomic theory is based. It seemsthat not many people really masterthe material but those who do find itwidely useful in interpretirig economicfacts. How to remedy this is hardto determine.In Sociology we have the makingsof one of the most outstandingcourses, but for years it has beenamong the most inferior. Only rarelyhas a good teacher been utilized. Too, material which could be well pre¬sented in two or three weeks isspread out over a whole quarter andthus clouded and obscured quite suc¬cessfully.* * *Political Science has been the greatenigma, it seems, to the faculty aswell as to the students, judging fromthe constant alteration the course hasundergone.An ideal organization would be asfollows: First, to explain the politicalprocess; then to show the psychologi¬cal aspects of this process with em¬phasis on propaganda techniques,from this to present theories of sov¬ereignty; finally to show the role oflaw and government in the world to¬day.History has been at various timesa survey of world history, a studyof classical historical works, and nowan investigation of historical method.At present it contains much that isvaluable in application to methodolo¬gical problems of all the social sci¬ences, though also much that is un¬important to anyone but the historian.Something should be done about thefact that so many students desire agreater knowledge of world historythan they have, yet cannot get it atpresent without taking a large num¬ber of specialized courses in the de¬partment.Dan Glaser.SHOULD PUBLICATIONSREFLECT STUDENTOPINION?Should fraternities and clubsbe subsidized?TALK IT OVER AT THECAMPUS CONGRESSAPRIL 14, 15, 21, 22 Today on theQuadranglesLECTURES. “The Study of Culture.

National fraternity officersare al.so clamoring for a modifiedHell Week.It seems evident, then, that thiscampus is among the leaders inabolishing informal initiation. Theremay even come a time, if the fra¬ternities don’t go off campus first,when Hell Week will be a thing ofthe past.It may be that this period has itsadvantages. It may be that Hell Weekis a thing to be remembered, a thingto weld the pledges into a closer class,a thing of joy and satisfaction to themembers. But certainly it takes need¬less time from studies, it may causeunfortunate accidents to the pledges,and it is in its present form, belowthe level of educated college students.No PartisanWhen last seen wandering oncampus, Macha Rosenthal, editor-in-chief of Student Partisan, announcedthat due to financial difficulties,especially because of the inefficiencyof the former business manager, M.Ko.senthal, Partisan will not publishthe rest of this year. Dispute Goes onBetween Linn,McMillen Ranks(Continued from page 1)sentative. McMillen, although it lefthim only two days, one of them Sun¬day, to acquire enough signatures tofile his petition, still was unwilling tofight against a colleague, and thuswas upped to the senatorial candi¬dacy.Linn alleges that the first he heardof McMillen’s candidacy was whenLouis Wirth, associate professor ofSociology and one of McMillen’sbackers, asked him if he would beable to get McMillen on the Hornerslate. Linn agreed to make the at¬tempt, but found that the ticket hadby that time been filled for the FifthDistrict.The day after McMillen’s petitionwent in, a deputation from the Hor¬ner organization met with the Mc¬Millen group, and urged them towithdraw their candidate on thegrounds that McMillen could not pos¬sibly win, but would only split thedecent Democratic vote and put inthe Kelly-Nash man, and that withthree University professors runningfor office it w’ould lay Smith andLinn, who had some chance of vic¬tory, open to charges of “professorialcrackpots trying to run the govern¬ment.” McMillen, however, deniedthe validity of each of these objec¬tions, and refused to abandon hissupporters.Both Linn and Smith attended themeeting. Smith’s statement that heunderstood McMillen’s motives endthat he had no doubt of the goodfaith of the movement has kept himin the good graces of the McMillen-ites. Linn’s truculent attitude, com¬bined with their faith in Attwell’sequal fitness for the position havealienated most of them.ASU-(Continued from page 1)inform chapters of the referendumsponsored by the National ExecutiveCommittee on the peace resolutions,spoke advocating that the local groupsubscribe to it.

The friezes dfthis type have been placed all aroundthe walls, while the rectangularhangings show the native treatmentof figures in all over design.Colorful as these are, the collectionalso contains painting done almostentirely in grays, blacks and browns,extending to the very frames of thepictures with no break in the thickfoliage which seems, Gauguin-like, togive an impression of the South SeaIsland foliage.Show SophisticationIn the whole exhibit only a few ofthe wood carvings seem primitive.Most of the carvings exhibit a sO'phistication of line which reflects thework of a modem artist. But weare forced to guess at d.ates of theworks, for, as one member of theRenaissance society explained, “NoSPECIAL INTENSIVESHORTHANDfor COLLEGE UNDERGRADUATESStarts April I.

Hart, instructor inEconomics. While many of them badexpected some decline, the suddennessand sharpness of the one that beganlast summer has them fooled.There can hardly be any sharp re¬covery before summer, Hart de¬clared, but the chances of our run¬ning down much further are slim.“There is good evidence that ourI-M Organization StandingsStandingOrganization Winter Last1938 Quarter1.

AND FRI.BETTY GRABLE"THRILL OF A LIFETME"AndMICKEY ROONEY"YOU'RE ONLY YOUNG ONCE" banking structure is stronger thanbefore the depression and a wave ofbank failures comparable to that of1933 is virtually impossible,” he said.“Consequently the present recessionshould not be as severe or prolongedas the “great depression.”Situation ImprovesThe decline, although it was atfirst the sharpest known, has shownsigns of slackening in the last fewmonths, and the situation at presentis probably somewhat better thanthat of 1936.Probably one of the most importantcauses, he suggested, was the factthat business men generally don’t feelat home in the world. Investmentsare motivated not so much by carefulcalculations of possibilities of profitand loss as by a general impressionthat all’s well. While the uneasy feel¬ing of business men is due largely tothe general social atmosphere, theadministration could have alleviatedit somewhat by being less harsh inthe methods by which it put throughits program and in the terms it em¬ployed.Similarly the harm done by suchmeasures as the undistributed profitstax is due mainly to its psychologicaleffects.Advocates Differential Changes“The dogmatic adherence of theadministration to the idea that highwages are desirable prevented it fromseeing that differential wage changeswould have helped recovery,” Hart de¬clared, holding that hourly wages inmany industries, especially in thoseconnected with construction, are rela-1tively too high. iAnother cause of the present de-1pression is the fact that the increase Iof investment by credit institutions, icorresponding to an increase in theirdeposits, in the past few years, wentprimarily into government bondsrather than into production. The largeincrease in the public debt thus ab¬sorbed savings that would otherwise !have been hoarded and preventedthem from doing positive harm, butit did not actually put the savings in¬to productive use.However, there are signs of a re¬vival of private investment that mayhelp reverse the decline, he said.Moreover, the coming armament boom jshould, when it gets under way, aid!considerably. I Much AboutNothing* * *By HARRY CORNELIUSSurprisingly enough, from 16 to 20candidates for next year’s footballteam have been regularly reportingout for an hour and a half’s dailypractice. The number does not com¬pare with the hundred or so men thatinstitutions such as Minnesota or evenIndiana are able to muster, but it isa great improvement on many of thespring turnouts that we’ve had in thepast. Most of the time is spent ondummy practice, although time does¬n’t permit a heavy workout. BobHarlan, former Hyde Park star andtransfer from Dartmouth, promises tobecome an excellent end.« * *Nels Norgren was elected secretary-treasurer of the National Associationof Basketball Coaches at their con¬vention which ended Tuesday. Thechief action of the convention was torecommend a modification of thethree-second rule under which noplayer can remain inside the oppo¬ nents’ free-throw circle longer thanthree seconds before receiving theball. It would increase the effective¬ness of basketball offense and stopthe current trend toward the exclusiveuse of the zone defense if the for¬ward half of the free-throw circle wasconsidered just the same as the iPsfof the floor.* • *Bob Wasem, promising sophomorehurdler, will be in shape for the out¬door season.
