Wift Batlp jUlamonVol. 38, No. 94 Z-149 XJNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 1938 Price Five CentsStudents Air Opinions at Congress\Reveal 404 College StudentsI Do Not Participate in ActivitiesTabulation of the section on extra-curricular activities in apoll distributed yesterday in all the introductory general coursesrevealed that 404 out of 751 College students do not enter anyactivities other than studying or working, and 118 more partici¬pate to such a slight extent that they are undecided as to wheth¬er they do or do not take part.Biggest reason for not participating was lack of time, whichthough subdivided into three reasons (commuting, workingstudying), was checked by itself two-thirds of the time. Despiteinaccuracies in some of the figures (for instance, if an averagegrade was between two marks, the lower was chosen), the re¬sults may definitely be interpreted as a blow to hopes of buildingan integrated campus community until students begin living nearcampus or are able to study more easily. Working was the leastof the reasons cited for not taking part; lessening of economicburdens therefore will apparently change the situation only byone-fourth unless it would enable students to live closer to theUniversity.Higher Grades in ActivitiesOut of 408 students recording average grades, those who aremembers either of clubs or fraternities or of other organizationssuch as ASU and Chapel Union or of both received higher gradesthan those students not in activities. Favorite reason for par¬ticipating in activities was the feeling that extra-curricular ac¬tivities are a part of one’s education; second choice was “just forthe fun of it.” Students in organiza¬tions other than fraternities and clubsLinn Triumphs inPrimary Election;McMillen LosesSmith, Long Battle for Po¬sition of Congressman-at-Large.Returns of last Tuesday’s primaryiluctions put James Weber Linn, pro¬fessor of English, into next Novem-Ut’s general elections as Democraticnominee for state representative, and,with downstate balloting not yetcompletely reported, gave Professorof Philosophy T. V. Smith a goodchance to win the nomination for con¬gressman-at-large from Illinois.Wayne McMillen, professor of SocialService .Administration, and candidatefor state senator from the Fifth Sena¬torial District, was defeated.Of eight Democratic candidates forthe nomination of state representa¬tive. two were chosen. Linn, with avote of 37,872, led his nearest rival,Louis Berman, by approximately 7,-OOO votes. The two will oppose twoRepublicans in next fall’s elections..Martin WinsWith 500 precincts yet to report,Kelly-Nash man John C. Martin hasdefinitely garnered one of the twonominations for congressman-at-large. Whether the other Kelly-Nashcandidates, Lewis M. Long, or Hornerman T. V. Smith will receive the otheris still in doubt.Wayne McMillen, candidate for thepost Smith left vacant in order to runfor congressman-at-large, was deci¬sively defeated by both his Hornerand his Kelly-Nash opponents. John(ieary, son of the committeemen ofthe Fourth Ward of the Fifth Sena¬torial Distdict, received the Democrat¬ic nomination for state senator, poll¬ing a two to one majority over hisnearest rival, Hornerite Harry Chap¬man. Although 33 out of 317 pre¬cincts have yet to report, Geary’s ma¬jority is too great to be substantiallyaltered by any results which maycome in.The Campus Congress is not with¬out its history, despite the fact thatit is a unique attempt to make articu¬late the voice of student opinion, andhave it become a significant factor inUniversity policy..A year ago John Morris called foran activities conference to exchangeinformation and experiences amongpersons engaged in activities. Hisidea was received without enthusiasmand seemingly was destined for ob¬livion. Early this fall, however, thislittle seed began to germinate. W'il-liam McNeill, editor of The Daily.Maroon, began to feel the futility ofwriting about the University in thehope of improving it without the sup¬port of numbers. Morris still nursedhis brainchild in the back of his mind.Expand ProgramBursting into this inflammable sit¬uation one day came John Marks, ad¬vocating a campus congress thatwould take up all aspects of studentlife on the campus, including thecurriculum as well as activities. Theexpanded plan was adopted by theother two, and feeble efforts to put itinto effect were begun. The congress,then called conference, was firstplanned for the winter quarter, butit soon appeared that spring would becoming before there was time to getanything done.Desperate efforts to find someonewilling and free to undertake thechairmanship of the Congress resultedin complete failure until George Hal-crow, newly elected Senior classpresident, suggested that the seniorclass organization take over the pub¬licity for the Congress, while Morris,Marks and McNeill did the planning.After a long fight Halcrow consentedto take the headship of the Congressas well as shouldering the adminis¬trative work. First Meetingin Kent TodayBeginning the first of two two-daysessions at 3:30 in Kent theater to¬day, the All-Campus Congress marksthe campus’ first attempt at organ¬ized expression of student opinion.To open the meeting, George Hal¬crow, president of the Senior Class,which is spon.soring the Congress,w’ill speak on its purpose and pro¬gram. *Following Halcrow’s address, theCongress will elect a resolutions com¬mittee of 15 from nominations madeon the floor, each delegate voting forfive nominees. Associate Professorof Economics Harry D. Gideonse willWelcome to the first Campus Con¬gress. It’s our party so let’s makeit a good one!To those of us who have some¬thing to say the Congress gives usan opportunity to express ourselves.To those of us who are interestedin pertinent talk the Congress givesus an opportunity to hear commentof interest to all of us. To those ofus who are not interested in theproblems of the student body theCongress gives us an opportunityto gain some worthwhile interests.Whatever you’re interested inwe’ve got it. Come and get it.George Halcrow.close the afternoon’s meeting with atalk on the “Purpose of Higher Edu¬cation,” a subject that will be takenup in the second week’s panel discus¬sions and the closing Hutchins-Mel-by debate.Activities PanelsAt 7:30, the activities panels meetin various rooms of Ida Noyes hall.Under consideration are inter-colle¬giate athletic policy, religious doc¬trine, the relations between studentsand politics, the University social sys¬tem, publications problems, and theplace of the arts in the curriculum.If any consensus of opinion is reached,(Continued on page 4)Results soon began to appear. TheSenior class received $35 from theDean of Students’ office, and giftsfrom the Junior class and the alumnioffice totalled another $35. With thisas a starter, publicity for the Con¬gress was set under way, a campaignbeginning last quarter and climaxingthis week with campus polls, man inthe street broadcasts, and speeches inclassrooms.The program was built through aseries of open meetings attended byfrom twenty to thirty students, andby numerous conferences betweenHalcrow, Marks and McNeill. Chiefchange in the development was theshift from divisional organization ofthe discussions on curriculum to theorganization around broad questionsof teaching method and course con¬tent.The result is the Campus Congress,1938 model.Tabulate PhysiologicalStatistics on CrammingAnd now they have the effects ofcramming in physiological statistics.University students paid for theircramming in the last examinationwith a loss of 6030 pounds of weight,it is estimated by the Bureau ofEducational Surveys of New’ YorkCity.The Bureau arrived at the figureby multiplying an average twopounds weight loss reported by arepresentative group by 90 per cent—the estimated proportion of stu¬dents who engage in intensive studybefore and during examination pe¬riods. The report did not explainthe basis for the large proportionwhich were assumed to cram. Produce “TrojanWomen” at I - Hon Sunday NightGrene, Schoen DirectCast in First Anti-WarPlay.“Trojan Women,” by the Greekdramatist Euripedes, will be pro¬duced by a group of InternationalHouse students on Easter Sunday at8:30 in the International Housetheatre. Following the play, the so¬cial activities department will give atea.Directed by David Grene and Lil¬lian Schoen, the cast includes AnnBinkley, Robert Burchett, HenriettaRybcznski, Lillian Schoen, EuniceTopper, and Dennis McEvoy. Admis¬sion will be free to house membersand 50 cents to outsiders.Anti-War DramaThe play, which has been termedthe first and greatest anti-war drama,was written in 416 B.C. as a protestto the Athenian brutality in demolish¬ing and enslaving the entire popula¬tion of an island which refused to jointhe Delian League. It is a realisticpicture of the terror and horror ofwar and its tragic aftermath. Thetheme is that of the Greek conquest ofTroy and the dauntless deeds of val¬iant men heroically fighting for themost beautiful woman in the world.The method of production i sadapted to its universality, with noGreek costumes being used and effectsgained by the use of music, lights andsymbolic scenery.Audrey Eichenbaum and JeannetteBarrett were in charge of costumes;Christine Palmer, lights; Elaine Mer-cel, sets; Jean Williams, music, andRobert Burchett, choral dances. Thechorus, led by Jane Goldstein, is com¬posed of Vivian Arkin, KatherinePage, Mary Wich and Jane Sylla.Political UnionDebates FascismThe executive committee of thePolitical Union is angling for aprominent Republican to support theresolution for its next meeting, “Re¬solved: That this Union believes thatthere is more incipient Fascism inthe New Deal than in the factionsopposed to the New Deal,” Ned Fritz,chairman, announced yesterday. Themeeting takes place next Wednesdayafternoon at 2:30 in Kent theatre.A Radical party caucus has alreadychosen co-chairman Winnie Leeds tooppose the question. A Conservativecaucus convened last night, and Lib¬erals meet tomorrow at 12:45 in theDaily Maroon office to determinetheir stand on the resolution and tochoose student speakers to discuss it.The meeting will be followed by ashort business meeting for membersof the Union, in order to elect avice-president and a secretary-treas¬urer for next year, to fill the placesleft vacant by Frank Meyer and PaulHenkel, who will not return to school.The Union’s constitution provides forannual elections to take place inFebruary, except in the case of aresignation.The executive committee Tuesdaynight decided to distribute no fundsamong the parties until the Unionhas obtained more. It also consideredtopics for the final meeting of thequarter, to be held early next month,and has requested that members sub¬mit to its requests for a subject fordiscussion.Calls Baby a Positivist—But He's Really a Boy“He reduces everything to mean¬ingless symbols,” said Richard P. Mc-Keon, dean of the division of theHumanities, explaining why he hadcalled his son Peter a logical positiv¬ist.This title, however, is no indicationof a doting parent’s faith in thestartling precocity of his offspring.It means only that Peter, born lastweek, like any other baby—cries. Poll Campus to GetStudent Opinion onPeace Strike IssuesIn order that the program of this,the fifth Peace Strike, may accu¬rately express prevailing campusopinion, the enlarged Peace Strikecommittee is conducting a campus¬wide poll today and tomorrow. Ta¬bles with questionnaires to be an¬swered by students will be placed inCobb, Mandel, and Harper.Feeling that the delegates to thePeace Strike Committee did not rep¬resent campus opinion, the ASUmembers on the Committee proposedthe poll. It was opposed by the paci¬fists, Socialists of both Internationals,and isolationists, who elicited sur¬prise that the program of the Strikeshould be based on campus opinionand not that of the Strike commit¬tee. All persons are urged to votein the poll to ensure a representativeStrike.Two QueriesUnder the two general queries,should the embargo on Spain belifted and the Neutrality Act amend¬ed, the following questions will beposed: Should the embargo on Spainbe lifted, or maintained and extendedto Germany and Italy? Should agovernment embargo be placed onboth Japan and China, on only Ja¬pan, or should no such steps betaken? Should the government pro¬claim a nation-wide boycott of Japa¬nese goods? Do you favor withdraw¬ing American troops from China orfrom all countries?Foreign PolicyIn general, aspects of the UnitedStates’ foreign policy will be con¬sidered, including non-recognition of(Continued on page 4)Pulse comes out today for theeighth time. That it is growing olderis proved by the growing number ofold cuts; that it is being passed intonew hands is shown by the relativemediocrity of the issue.The central survey of “The Univer¬sity Woman” assembles facts, somenew, such as the original associationof the clubs with the dormitories, butmost old familiars. The questionnaireshows Plato ranking next to Terryand the Pirates as the favorite read¬ing matter of campus women, andthat an overwhelming proportion ofthem came to the University for aB.A.The spread on the Campus Congresscombines a host of old cuts with awell written promotional to make adecorative page, but the news sectionis weak, failing to show any note¬worthy scoops on the Maroon. One received three times as many A’s asfraternity-club members and two-fifths more than those students notin any activities at all.Other generalizations that may bedrawn from the figures indicate thatit is unpopular at this University fora student to admit a desire for voca¬tional training and those studentsquestioned lost in their sophomoreyear about six per cent in whateverpolitical motivation had promptedthem to action as freshmen.Describes HawaiianNight EntertainmentJames MacKenzie, promoter of theannual Hawaiian night at Interna¬tional House, yesterday made publicthe elaborate plans which have beenmade for the next Hawaiian night onApril 23.There will be a theme carried outthrough the entire evening’s enter¬tainment centered around some Ha¬waiian story, but what this theme willbe MacKenzie would not reveal. How¬ever, announcement was made of achoir of mixed voices which will singthe Hawaiian Laughing Song, “Tahu-wa-hi,” which was recently featuredby Paul Whiteman and Rudy Vallee;a fashion parade of 10 Universitywomen wearing the clothes for “ADay in the Life of a Debutante inHawaii;” a motion picture in techni¬color, “Hawaiian Nei”; and a pre¬sentation by five University women ofan ancient Hawaiian dance.There will be dancing to two bandsa ten piece American band and a sixpiece complete Hawaiian string or¬chestra. Besides this program, every¬one attending is promised a “lei” andevery lady will be given an hibiscusflower.minor scoop—the University’s takingover of the nursery school—relieves asection mainly built on “trend” stor¬ies such as the discussion of the wan¬ing of fraternity hell weeks.Most interesting item is the first ofthe section Talk, disclosing the factthat Teddy Linn, newly elected Dem¬ocratic candidate for the state Houseof Representatives, is talkihg of rais¬ing $2,000 to establish yet anotherrival for the Maroon, run as it isby “communists.”The complete omission of the liter¬ary section is justified in the Letterscolumn as a reflection of campus in¬difference and lack of reader interestThe first is no doubt a good reason,the latter coming after the publica¬tion of such masterpieces as “Frankiethe Wop,” is surely untrue. Everyeffort should be made to restore thei literary section to the magazine.Trace History of Campus Congressfrom Editorial Idea to ActualityPulse Shows Age by Using Old Cuts inMediocre Issue; Omits Literary SectionBy WILLIAM McNEILLPIATFORM1. Creation of a vigorous campus community.2. Abolition of intercollegiate athletics.3. Progressive p)otitiC8.4. Revision of the College Plan.5. A chastened president.The ElectionsLinn is nominated by the Democratic party for thestate legislature. Smith may yet win out in the racefor congressman-at-Iarge from Illinois. The Univer¬sity is more successful in politics than we predicted,successful despite apathy on the part of the Maroonand students generally.Linn’s nomination makes his arrival in the statelegislature fairly sure, since the Republican vote isnot likely to eclipse the Democratic in next fall’s elec¬tions. His successful campaign is no doubt attributa¬ble to his own vigorous and colorful campaigning, andthe notable support lent him by the Daily News. Hisnomination maintains the record of the University dis¬trict for sending honest men to the state legislature.Linn is hardly likely to be as successful in acting in¬dependently of the machine than Smith has been, sinceHomer and his cohorts will be less beset by a rival,and so able to enforce party discipline more strictly.Linn’s colorful vigorous personality may surmounteven this barrier, if he sets his political future beneathhis private conviction.As for the election as a whole, the metropolitanpress heralds it as the breakdown of machine politics. Itis more likely to prove the breakdown of the rift in ma¬chine polities which has given an airing to a succession ofscandals in the past few months. It is foolish to thinkthat the Horner machine will bring a new era of hon¬esty to Chicago politics. As soon as it is firmly en¬trenched throughout the state, it will no doubt be asCorrupt and inefficient as the Kelly machine has been.Politics go on, and a few honest men are electedto office every so often. That is all the election proves.In Bolognafamous alike for its-lawand its sausage, the students of the University somehundreds of years ago prescribed rules for their pro¬fessors, decided what should be taught and how itshould be taught. The tradition in American univer-sities has always been the reverse. Hie faculty andadministration decide University policy.As long as universities involve vast investmentsand an elaborate phy.sical plant, student control on themodel of medieval Bologna is impossible. But the otherextreme whereby students have no chance to expresstheir views save in private grumbling that neverreaches the ears of the professors or officials at whomit is directed, is equally unsatisfactory. Yet it is thissystem that has ruled at the University and at nearlyall others in the past.But this year there is an effort afoot to make thestudent reaction to the University audible, in orderthat those who control the University may at leastknow what the student thinks of the education they areoffered. The Campus Congress, beginning today, isthat effort.It has been said that the University is a commu¬nity of scholars, not an educational institution. Actual¬ly it is both. Inasmuch as the University is an educa¬tional institution, student reaction to what is taughtis vital to a proper evaluation of the success of theUniversity. Inasmuch as students are scholars theydeserve a voice in the community which is the Univer¬sity. On both bases the Campus Congress redressesa serious unbalance in the University.

At Illinois Central Hospital a son wasborn to Mrs. Hal LaBelle last Sunday night. As faras we know' Hal is the first father in the class and, assuch, deserves congratulations, which wc herewith ten¬der.VERNAL NOTESThe usual spring manifestations are very plentifulon campus including the usual crowd on the bleacherswishing they were one fourth as good as Shostrom oreither of the .Murphy.s, who are apparently in top form.Big Stoop, the Alpha Delt pride and joy has fallen inlove with a bull dog on 52nd street, and the AlphaDelts spend roost of their time running down there tobring him back. That real lethargy has struck thecampus was brought home to us quite forcefully at theMan on the Street affair. As George Halcrow andsundry stooges fiddled with a microphone in front ofCobb, a small group gathered. W’e observed in thecrowd several Communists, who, in spite of appeals forsomeone to come up and speak persisted in hangingback. It is a warm day indeed which will keep one ofthe left-wing chums from making himself heard overa public addres.s system.Apropos of the Man on the Street may we an¬nounce that the same weird performance will takeplace this noon. We ourselves have always had a yento holler over one of these amplifying systems, andwe presume other people have too. So perhaps youand you and jmu (much pointing of fingorsl will stepright up and speak your piece at high noon in front ofCobb. And, likewise, perhaps you and you and you{repeat performance) will unbend sufficiently to comeout and pitch for the Campos Congress. Even if themuch touted Student Problems won’t be solved, it will,at least, give us something to write about in this col¬umn. Such as the fact that Jay Berwanger far-famedas his own jfhost, will lend his wise advice to the Ath¬letics discussion this evening.BAPTISM, BUT NOT OF FIREWinston Ashley when he left school sporting an M.A.from the Engli-^sh department professed his ambitionto become a labor organizer. To nobody’s .surprise he hasnot become one. Instead, he astonished the intellectualcircles of the campus by getting baptized into theRoman Catholic church last Sunday, Letters to theEditorEditor,Daily Maroon:Not having been in attendance atthe University the first two quartersof your reign of editoi^hip, I waspleasantly surprised to notice that aCampus Congress is to be held withvarious topics to be discussed—^amongthem Athletics but I was unpleas¬antly surprised to read the numiwr“2” plank in your platform.As a result. I’ve been wondering ifyou care much for drama.Drama, accordiiy? to ProfessorsMillett and Bentley in their inter¬pretation of Aristotle, embodies threeindispensable elements. These arerepresentation, impersonation, and ac-tioft.♦ • *The representation of a real orimagined event is the essence ofdrama. The element distinguishingdrama from the other arts is imper-.sonation—participating in representedaction. This action is usually physical,involving a change of .status.With that as an introduction I willstate the purpo.se of this letter. It isan attempt to show an open-mindedperson what an intense drama a foot¬ball game is.A footl»ll game represents a realevent of life, the .struggle to attain agoal.The impersonation is of man as awhole.As for action—where can more befound? Instead of involving onechange of status, a football gameundergoes, as does man, severaldramatic changes.Among the technical elements, theplot is concerned with man’s use ofco-operation in overcoming the re¬sistance of those who try to keep himfrom attaining his goal.The setting is on the green .surfaceof roan’s earth accompanied by those;elements that Nature may deemworthy for the day. The backgroundis that of color—color displayed notby a crowd of fans but by the choruswhich .sings gaily when their repre-sentitive makes prcigress and sadlywhen he meets reversal.The dialogue is spoken in the formof signals. Every line, phra.se, evenword, ha.s a direct bearing on thefinal outcome.Man has called into play hi* in¬genuity in the design of his costume*for this great open-air drama. Theyare important a.*? they reinforce man’sweaker spots.The hours of expertly directed re-hoar.tal that are necessary afct^t on¬ly those with a sincere liking fordrama. The roles to be portrayed arctaken only by experienced players.The names of the characters are un¬important; it is whom they represent that ite ©f cPiiiieqttaneq.The type of drama? Let us use ^prejudiced example: Chicago repp^ tsents man, Illinois represents the *worldly resistance. They meet, pIllinois has the greater score at thedrama’s finish, it is a sad tragedy if ■Chicago has the higher score, it is agay comedy.Keeping this short explanation inmind coupled with your good imagination, you should really enjoy yo*r!self at next season’s mtercolh-^iatefootball dramas when Chicago \vjllbea surprisingly strong character in anumber of good comedies.Sineerely,R.

Stress¬ing those phases of the Congressschedule which are its particular in¬terests, the ASU considers threeproblems—’’how to unify the campus,how to secure better co-operation be¬tween students, faculty, and adminis¬tration, and how to relate correctlythis University to other universitiesand the world.”Big^st obstacles to unification ofthe campus community the ASU be¬lieves to be two: economic inequalityand race discrimination. The state¬ment following is quoted from theASU program:Cite Obstacles*Tt is not possible to build a realcampus community as long a.s someactivities are not open to some stu¬dents because they are too poor.Therefore, since only federal aid tostudents and universities can improvethe situation, the ASU advocates thatthe Congress go on record for exten¬sion of NY A and for the passage ofthe American Youth Act; (b) sincethe economically under-privileged canguarantee their owm protection fromunfair treatment only through unionorganization, this Congress should goon record for the unionization ofNYA workers and all campus labor,so that at this University the ambi¬tion of the student working his waythrough college shall not be stoppedby unfair working conditions or in¬adequate pay; (c) since few students do not find that the high cost of liv¬ing at the University cuts dk>wn theirability to expand their social and cul¬tural activities, this Congress shouldfavor the organization of student co¬operatives of all sorts, includinghousing co-operatives, enlisting theUniversity’s aid in this project.”Advocate Union BuildingIn addition the ASU advocates theestablishment of a Union building oncampus, free distribution of the Ma¬roon, and development of intra-mur¬al athletics. Utilization of the ex¬isting departmental clubs as channelsof faculty-student discussion is a sug¬gestion for achieving closer relationsbetween faculty and students. A cam¬pus-wide elected student council isenvisaged as the medium of student-administration contacts and for car¬rying out the decisions of the Con¬gress. Particularly will the Admini¬stration be requested to adopt moredemocratic procedures, publishingminutes of meeting of the UniversitySenate and an annual auditing.Politieal ProgramThe last section of the programpresents a progressive position onthe political situation, both local, na¬tional, and international, opposingthe Johnson plan, supporting the re¬port of the President’s AdvisoryCommittee on Education, urging affil¬iation of campus organizations withthe Illinois Youth Congress, sympa¬thizing with the scholars and stu¬dents of Spain, China, Japan, andGermany, and seeking faculty sup¬port of the Student Strike AgainstWar.

The Finwalls andV’alorz should have the best chancesto survive to the final rounds.The meet will be conducted underOlympic rules. This means that atouch fall instead of the usual neces¬sary three second ruling will be u.sed.•Mso the “bad mark” system will pre¬vail. Under this system a man win¬ning by a decision and not a fall willget a bad mark and so will not haveas good a chance of surviving as aman who pins his opponent.Winner Gets TrophyAlthough the meet is not to be con¬ducted as a team affair a trophy maybe given to the most successful team.Representatives from other schoolswill include men from Illinois, North-westeiu, Wheaton, and possibly one ortwo more schools.

Lasswell, associate pro-fe.ssor of Sociology, in the current is-sure of the American Journal of So¬ciology’ writes a keen analysis of thefactors which led the Chinese nationto put up a stubborn resistance to themilitary attacks of Japan in an ar¬ticle entitled “Chinese Resistance toJapanese Invasion: the PredictiveV’alue of Precrisis Symbols.”The article traces the developmentof the resistance of the Chinese fromtheir feeble attempts in 1930 to their.stout resistance in the summer of1937.Lasswell lays down certain proposi¬tions about the changes in the Chi¬nese environment and about the stateof initial reactivity which conditionedtheir 1937 response.His propositions .stress the magni¬tude of the Chine.se deprivations, thefrequency of certain previous expec¬tations, and the frequency of de¬mands for total resistance. He claimsthat the Chinese overestimated theirfighting effectivene.ss in some degreeand traces this overestimation to fac¬tors of opportunity, skill and psycho¬logical need.Clarence Click, instructor in Soci¬ology, in the same issue of the Jour¬nal cites significant factors whichtend to jirove that the Chinese inHawaii are evolving from their for¬mer backwardne.ss to a .state of in¬creased political life.Billiard TournamentOf the opening matches in the in¬tramural straight rail billiards tour¬nament Phi Sigma Delta won two,and Phi Beta Delta and LambaGamma Phi won one.Phi Sigma Delta with five teamsstill in the tournament stands an ex¬cellent chance of winning.

Now they have110 members, almost the entire staffof the House.Members buy shares by paying 25cents (or more if they wish) out ofeach pay check. Shares come in $5units and are all owned by membersof the union. If in the future, an em¬ployee should move away or get an¬other job, he may have the privilegeof remaining in the union, but newmemberships are issued only to em¬ployees of PACH.Make LoansDuring the one year of its existencethe NGO union has made loans total¬ing $4,000 and has on hand assets ofover $3,000 more. Loans are all madefor provident purposes, such as pay¬ment for sickness or purchase whichwould otherwise have to be paid foron the installment plan.One of the chief values of thecredit union plan is the eliminationof the waste always entailed in in¬stallment plan buying. In one city ithas been scientifically estimated thatthe citizens paying an average of 48per cent interest on their debts. Underthe credit union plan they pay cashat the store and need pay the uniononly one per cent per month interest.The unions thus work to the advan-Poll-(Continued from page 1)territories gained by aggressive con¬quest as exampled by Austria, Ethi¬opia, and Manchuria; a war refer¬endum such as was formulated in thedefeated Ludlow amendment; theO’Connell peace bill which definesthe aggressor and limits the applica¬tion of embargoes to aggressor na¬tions; the continuance and enforce¬ment of existing neutrality legisla¬tion.The last question is whether thegovernment should be supported inwar under no circumstances, or, ifthe issue is that of democracy versusfascism, only at home and not on for¬eign soil.To obtain suggestions from the fac¬ulty on how to have a more succe.ss-ful strike, the enlarged committeewill entertain with an informal teaFriday afternoon at 4:15 in Wie-boldt lounge.

Interest on shares owned isgenerally paid at a rate of five or sixper cent (it is limited to the latterfigure by law) and the borrowers areassessed the exceptionally low rate ofone per cent. Fn some unions it iseven down to one half of one per cent.Money may be withdrawn at anytime, with the one exception that adebtor to the Union may not with¬draw funds up to the total of hisdebt.Publish MagazineAn idea of the growth of these un¬ions may be obtained from noting thegrowth of the magazine “The Bridge,’’which is published in Madison, in theinterests of the Unions. Already ithas a circulation of 100,000, which isincreasing at the rate of severalthousand per month.There is no financial connection be¬tween any of the unions, however.Each union is run by a democraticallyelected board of directors who are re¬sponsible to the members. The fundsof the union are in their hands.The treasurer, personally responsible for the organization of the NGOUnion is Mr. Moeller.There are several members of thefaculty interested in organizing asimilar union within the Universitywho within the next few months hopeto announce the initial plans for itsformation.Campus Congress-(Continued from page 1)recommendations will be formulatedto present to the resolutions commit¬tee.The resolutions of the Congresswill be presented to President Hutchins before the debate, printed in theDaily Maroon, and distributed oncampus or posted on bulletin boards.Only delegates may vote in the decisions of the Congress, but the ses¬sions are* open to the whole campus.Delegates’ cards will be issued todayin Kent from 3 to 4 and at Ida Noyesfrom 7 to 10.Man-in-StreetThe man-in-the-street broadcast atnoon yesterday in front of Cobb andrelayed to Cobb will be repeated atnoon again today.

Harper,Professor of Russian Language andInstitutions at the University, saidlast night in a public lecture. Profes¬sor Harper, student of Russia since1905, when he made the first of seven¬teen observational trips to that coun¬try, opened the first of a series offour public lectures at the Art Insti¬tute on “Sovietism After 20 Years.’’He spoke under the auspices of Uni¬versity College.The net result of the “purges’’ andthe elections under the new constitu¬tion has been to smash the old Com¬munist leadership and to provide newleadership. Professor Harper said.“Analyzing the background factors,and relating them to the full report ofthe trials, it is correct to say thatthere was a conspiracy in the fullsense of the word,’’ he told the audi¬ence. “Starting in 1931, those involvedcould not withdraw, even when theysaw that Stalin’s policy had been suc¬cessful in the main, or in the face ofthe grow’ing international tension.Explains Charges“Objectively, the conspirators be¬came instruments of forces makingfor war. Success of Stalin’s policyleft them in the position of havingopposed socialism. By implication,therefore, it was possible to chargethem with wishing to restore capital¬ism, and with helping an outsidehostile force, represented by Naziism ^and Japane.se militarism.“The accu.sation of being deliber- iate, conscious ‘fascist’ agents wasdenied by the more prominent of thoseaccused. Such a charge represents, forthe outside student, a superstructureon the factual basis. It should be re¬membered, however, that when aparty member has conspired, it is‘treason’ from the point of view ofthis peculiar revolutionary order—theBolshevik Party.
