The so-called “Higher Learning”of President Hutchins coupled withthe independence granted to the stu¬dents has caused an influx of highschool graduates interested primar¬ily in intellectualism.While this emphasis on training themind, fundamental though it is, hasbeen taking place, there has been alag in the development of otherphases of University life. This laghas amounted to almost a de-empha¬sis. the thought prevailing that theUniversity exists for but a singlepurpose—books. In fact in manyquarters, the mere mention of sociallife, athletics, etc., brings smiles ofamusement and immediate associa¬tion with that much abused fellow—Joe College. In addition, the Univer¬sity has at times a knack for gettinga peculiar type of newspaper pub¬licity depicting senaatkmally theactivities of certain minority groupson campus.• • •The net result of these factors i.sthat the University appears to highschool students to be no place for anormal well-rounded individual, whoexpects physical and social develop¬ment, as well as mental. In addition,the entrance requirements and legendsconcerning the comprehensive ex¬aminations have done their bit towardsending students elsewhere.Each year on campus, the rumorgoes around that “this freshman classhas a higher average than lastyear’s.” This seems to be typical ofthe University policy in selectingfirst year students. Any institution’seducational system, no matter howbud, would succeed with a class whosehigh school average is 90. The realtest of a university is with the aver¬age high school graduate. This wouldlead one to believe that the Universityis concerned only with exerting itsinfluence toward creating leaders inthe ackdemic world. This obviouslyfalls far short of the capacity of aschool such as this. It should prepareits graduates to assume responsibilityin all fields. This involves develop¬ment of the student’s personality andlife in addition to his mind. The Uni¬versity is glad enough to have menon its Board of Trustees from Yale,Harvard and Princeton, where such acourse is followed.* * *The University has a habit of treat¬ing an undergraduate as though hewere a candidate for a Ph.D. It doesnot, to all outward appearances, real¬ize that there are two distinct groupshere—the graduate and undergradu¬ate bodies—and that an individual asan undergraduate might expect someform of college life. The biggestfallacy in Chicago’s selection of stu¬dents is the assumption that a per¬son is unintelligent because he is in¬terested in activities as well as books.A truly great university should devel¬op a program whereby its studentsevolve into “all-around” — finishedproducts. Such a program should beoffered by the University.In lieu of these facts, a determinedeffort on the part of the administra¬tion should be made to attract alarger proportion of students inter¬ested in general development.Start Printing of1938 Cap & GownHerbert Larson, publisher of Capand Gown, announc^ yesterday thatthis year’s issue of the Universityyearbook is going to press today andis due to be out the latter part ofMay. This is probably the first timewithin the memory of modern man,he said, when the copy has gone in ontime.With the order to go to press, hewill have to enclose a letter giving theexact number of books wanted, sostudents who are planning to sub¬scribe but who have not yet done soshould get their orders in today. Onlya limited number above the subscrip¬tion total will be ordered. mt Baap itoonVol. 38, No. 102 Z-149 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, THURSDAY, APRIL 28, 1938 Price Five Cents IAppoint Miller toHead FreshmanOrientation BoardAppointment of Martin Miller andBill Young to succeed Harry Snod-gress and Edgar Faust as Freshmenand Transfer Orientation heads, wasannounced yesterday by the- SocialCommittee. Roger Arch, transfer stu¬dent from Hamilton Colleg^e, takesMiller’s place on the Social Commit¬tee.Miller, an Alpha Delt, expects tomake a call for counselors within thenext two weeks, and hopes to sched¬ule at least one training meeting be¬fore examinations. Young is a SigmaChi transfer student from WilsonJunior College.“Hand-pick” CounselorsAn attempt will be made by nextyear’s orientation heads to choosecounselors for their ability instead offraternity affiliations. Freshman coun¬selors will be “hand-picked”, accord¬ing to Miller, and will include thosefraternity men and independents whohave the time and ability to serveefficiently as counselors.Orientation thia year was critieixedby freshmen and others for its super¬ficiality. The choosing of counselorsunder a fraternity quota system sup¬ported the charge that FreshmanWeek was chiefly a fraternity rush¬ing function. No meetings for coun¬selors were held last spring.Orientation of Freshmen women,handled separately by Women’s Fed¬eration, has been based on several ofthe policies the University wants tosee adopted by the men’s organiza¬tion. Chief among them is the aim ofhaving counselors continue to serveas advisers after Freshman Week.Name Tiffinghast HeadScore Girl for FriarsPeggy Tillinghast, University sen¬ior, has been named as official headscore girl by Frank Carey, Abbot ofBlackfriara, for the ’Friar.s show“Where in the World” to be staged atHandel hall May 6, 7, 12, 13, and 14.Meanwhile, Chuck Zerler, Black-friars publicity manager, has beenconvinced that the little episode,which arose when Joy Hawley, North¬western University graduate student,was named as the head score girl, isnot even funny. He was roused frombed at two o’clock Wednesday morn¬ing by a phone call from the Asso¬ciated Press reporter who was curi¬ous to know how it happened thatthe prettiest girl at the Universityof Chicago came to be a student atthe University of Northwestern.To smooth out the difficulty, FrankCarey issued an official announce¬ment yesterday, saying, “Contrary toreports in city papers, head scoregirl for all nights of Blackfriara willbe Peggy Tillinghast, with the excep¬tion of Thursday, May 12, when JoyHawley will be the g^est of honor ashead score girl. He did not say whowas to get the bottle of perfumewhich was to go to the winner. Students HoldOrderly StrikeApproximately 1400 HearSpeeches in Court, Par-rade.Approximately 1400 students gath¬ered in Hutchinson Court yesterdayat 11 to watch or participate in thefifth annual nation-wide Strike forPeace.Not as spectacular as the strike of1935 when the American Legionslugged John Barden and as a re¬sult 3,000 students attended thePeace Strike, nor as emotional asthat of the following year when BudOgren administered the Oxford Oath,but an orderly, unsensational massmeeting, this year’s strike equalledlast year’s in size and appeal.No Rotten EggsExpecting a surprise attack fromthe Fourth Internationalists, who re¬signed from the Greater Strike Com¬mittee Monday, the spectators weredisappointed when not a single rot¬ten egg was tossed, and no collectivesecurityite engaged in a battle offisticuffs with an isolationist. Dis¬playing signs denouncing Rooseveltwar preparations, denouncing capi¬talism as breeding war, and declaringthat only socialism can end war, andclass war can end imperialistic war,was the extent of the 30 dissenters’subversive activities.After Jack Conway’s opening ad¬dress in which he read the planks ofthe peace program, Dorothy Winches¬ter extended the greetings of the SSAclub. Then George Patterson, lead¬ing organizer of the SWOC, spokefrom labor’s viewpoint, declaring that“We workers know that if we havea Fascist government trade unionswill be crushed.”Minority SpeakerPresenting the pacifist-neutralityminority’s opinion, Edwin H. Wilson,National President of the UnitarianFellowship for Social Justice, de¬clared, “Civil liberties are destroyedby war. The only basis of peace isinternational co-operation, and tohave that we must have faith andmutual confidence. We must curbour own imperialism to protect ourown civil liberties.”Clifton Utley, chairman of the(Continued on page 3)Italian Club PresentsPlay Premier Tomorrow“Marionette, che passione!”, anItalian play by Rosso di San Secon-do, will have its first showing in Chi¬cago Friday and Saturday eveningsin Reynolds club theatre at 8:30. SanSecondo is rated second among mod¬ern Italian playwrights, and this playhas proved his most popular. It isa true grotesque, with a fantasticatmosphere created by simple means.The play is being produced by GliScapigliati, University Italian club,in connection with a lively comedy byBraccio, “Un ’Avventura di Viaggio.”There is no admission charge and allpersons interested in Italian litera¬ture or the theatre are cordially in¬vited to attend.Peace-Strikers Denounce FascismWhile Alpha Belts Fly SwastikaFrom the Alpha-Delt housetop yes¬terday floated the sign sinister, theFascist swastika. Yesterday seemedto the facetious Aryan Alpha Deltathe ideal moment to produce the flag,which Bill Coleman, transfer fromDartmouth, had been cherishing forjust such an occasion as the fifthpeace strike. Not wanting to appeartoo partial, the boys intended to flya communist flag bearing the char¬acteristic fist and sickle from theother chimney. But like most goodintentions, this went astray when noteven the reliable Bill Coleman couldprocure the necessary problem.Perry Objects to FlagConsidering their coup quite asparkling bit of humor to insert intothe solemn peace demonstration, theAlpha Delts were quite pleased withtheir efforts until brother Hart Perry,active in the Greater Peace StrikeCommittee, decided that fun was fun,but that some fun could be misunder¬stood. And the flying of the fascistflag from the Alpha Delt house provedeasily misunderstandable, especially as metropolitan papers seized on it asan example of fraternity attitudetoward peace propaganda.Perhaps, suggested sincere Strik-ers-for-Peace, the subject for thePolitical Union meeting today shouldbe altered to read: “Resolved, thatmore incipient Fascism is evidencedin the Alpha Delt house than in theNew Deal.”Betas Fly SwastikaNot as spectacular, but in theidentical vein were the nefariousactivities of the neighboring Betas.When the Alpha Delts hauled downtheir flag, the Betas captured it andhung it from a window. After a slightfracas, the Alpha Delts retrievedtheir swastika, and the Betas, de¬prived of their catch, hoisted a hugeAmerican flag, feeling that a Hearst-ian influence was next best to oneof Fascism.Only other open anti-strike propa¬ganda was the picture of HitleVposted in a front window of the PhiKappa Sigma house. Change Time ofRound Table forSummer Months GOP Candidate forJudgeship SpeaksBefore PU TodayThe Broadcasting Council a n -nounced yesterday that, during thesummer months at least, the Univer¬sity Round Table would be on the airat 9:30 (Sunday evening) in theMiddle West.The reason given for the changewas the protest of the feature’smany hearers. West Coast and Moun¬tain listeners had to get up too early,Middle westerners were at church,and the millions of Eastern radio fanswere eating Sunday dinner.Sunday’s SpeakersInitiating the program in its eve¬ning broadcast are old standbys,Harry D. Gideonse, associate profes¬sor of Economics and Percy H. Boyn¬ton, professor of English, both of theQuadrangles, and Alvin H. Hansenprofessor of Political .Economy atHarvard, who is coming here especial¬ly for the Mitchell Tower broadcast.The soundness of President Roose¬velt’s so-called pump priming pro¬posals for pouring another six bil¬lion dollars into America’s economicstructui-e will be the question dis¬cussed for the evening audience.Hansen’s ViewsDr. Hansen, who holds the LuciusLittaner professorship in Harvard’sGraduate School of Public Admini¬stration believes that since the Gov¬ernment has already entered upon avast spending program, radical re-(Continued on page 3)Ordiestra PresentsStudent CompositionsThree compositions by students,followed by a program includingworks by Wagner and Honegger, willopen the University Symphony Or¬chestra’s Spring quarter concert inMandel hall at 8:30 tomorrow eve¬ning.The Wagner selections chosen arethe Death of Siegfried, from “Gotter-dammerung,” and the overture to“The Flying Dutchman,” which closesthe concert. The concluding portionof the program also includes the sec¬ond movement of the Symphony in DMinor, by Ernest Manheim, assist¬ant professor of Sociology, and Fuguein C Minor, by Clarke Kessler.Dancers Join MusiciansThe orchestra will be joined by theUniversity Dance club, directed byMarian Van Tuyl, of the departmentof Physical Education, in a dance tothree counterpoints by Honegger, aprelude, a chorale, and a four partcanon.The three graduate students whosecompositions will be played as theopening numbers are Richard Blockwho contributes Andante for Strings,Ellis Kohs, who wrote Fugue in EMinor, and Sol Joseph, whose num¬ber is entitled Pastoral Piece forfor Chamber Orchestra.Tickets for the concert, at 30 centsand 50 cents, may be obtained at theInformation Desk in the Press build¬ing or at Mandel hall box office.Faculty Approves ofRussell’s AppointmentWhen Bertrand Russell, newly ap¬pointed professor of Philosophy,comes here next fall he will find theresults of his apparent rebirth ofinterest in logic a center of attention.Although in the first decade of hiswork which included volumes like the“Principia Mathematica” Russell laidthe basis for such present day sys¬tems as the so-called “logical-positiv¬ism,” he has written primarily aboutmore immediately practical problemssince the World War.About a year ago, however, his in¬terest returned to the theoretical. Ina comparatively recent magazine ar¬ticle, he seemed critical of logicalpositivism. What may develop fromhis renewed studies in philosophy, itis hard to'say as yet.Faculty members commenting uponRussell’s appointment were exceed¬ingly pleased. “He is one of the mostgifted philosophers of the age,” wasthe opinion expressed by members ofthe Philosophy department. “Russell’swork in political and social problemshas been stimulating,” said RobertRedfield, dean of the division of theSocial Sciences. Compares Relative Amountof Incipient Fascism inPolitical Groups.Republican candidate for CountyJudge, Edward Chayes, has been se¬lected to defend the topic, “Resolved: iThat there is more incipient Fascism \in the New Deal than in the forcesopposed to the New Deal,” at today’sPolitical Union meeting to be held sat 2:30 in Kent theatre. Chayes op¬poses Edmund Jarecki for the county ’judgeship in next November’s gener- . jal elections.The Liberal party has chosen Rob- iert Merriam, son of one of the draft¬er’s of the recently defeated bill to ireorganize the national administra- jtion, as its representative to attackthe resolution. Merriam, who spentspring vacation in Washington withhis father working for the bill, will idiscuss the question in the light ofthe defeat of the Reorganization jmeasure. The Radicals, unanimously jopposing the meeting’s topic, named ^ ^co-chairman Winnie Leeds to speak. fRalph Rosen and Earl Birdzell will idefend the resolution for the Conser¬vative bloc of the Union. iElection of Officers jFollowing the regular meeting, the jgalleries will be cleared for a short ibusiness meeting of Union members, fwho will elect a vice-president and asecretary-treasurer to fill the places \Frank Meyer, radical, and Paul Hen¬kel, conservative, which will be left |ivacant at the end of the school year.The Union’s constitution provides for jannual elections to take place in Feb¬ruary, except in the case of a resig¬nation.The executive committee at its lastmeeting decided to distribute no fundsamong the Union’s parties until the ,organization has obtained moremoney. It also considered topics forthis year’s final meeting, to be heldsometime early next month, and hasrequested that members submit to itrequests for a subject for discussion.Earlier Political Union meetings ithis year have considered numerousissues of current importance includ¬ing collective security as a means forsecuring world peace, the city man¬ager plan, and the balancing of the ;fnational budget.Union Sends Picketerto Eating Co-operativeAt noon yesterday members of theKimbark cooperative, en route tolunch, were confronted with a picketersent by the American Federation ofLabor’s Milk Drivers Union.Complete with a “This place is un¬fair to organized labor” sign, thepicketer explained to anyone whowould listen that the cooperative haddiscontinued its account.with the milkcompany employing union men, andhad shifted their patronage to aFarmer’s cooperative organization.Not Against UnionsGathered in a circle around thepicketer, members of the eating co-optried to explain to him, and inciden¬tally to anyone else who would listen,that they are not against unions, butthat, being a cooperative group, theyfavor cooperative ventures. Thegroup, a labor conscious one, had anA.F. of L. man out to explain theunion to them, and the members de¬cided that the Driver’s union, not aparticularly democratic one, was acause less worthy of support than afarmer’s cooperative. Amid internalcontroversy the Kimbark House mem¬bers voted their business to theFarmers.Set May 1 as Deadlinefor University ContestsDeadline for three University con¬tests is May 1.

The Peace Strikeis over, the Campus Congress is over, and the soft plopas one after another aspiring junior settles into eachof the major offices for next year is about all that re¬mains to excite interest. Exams loom close and libra¬ries are crowded, and it is hot. What remains to writeabout ?Blackfriars is cutting loose with new publicitygags, but who can get excited about that? A fewcampus children perhaps.The new head of student orientation has been se¬lected, fired with the warning of the Dean’s office thatif orientation is not better than a fraternity rushingparty in disguise next fall, some other organizationfor orientating freshman will be improvised. But whocan get excited about that ? A few fraternity men per¬haps.President Conant, connected with a Universitycalled Harvard, has written an article in the currentissue of Harper’s magazine, on “The Future of OurHigher Education,” but it begins by talking aboutfabric, threads, and weaving, and who can get excitedabout that? We will read it through and do our bestto get excited tomorrow or some day soon.Lord Bertrand Russell, getting old, and having lefthis logic with his youth, according to report, is comingto the University next year, and will teach courses.It sounds nice to have a lord and a famous man cometo the University, and will give the philosophy depart¬ment the brightest collection of big names in thecountry, especially if the Neo-Thomist Maritain is add¬ed to. the backfield reserves, as rumor has it he willbe. It would ^ possible to get excited about that, ifit were not so hot, and so difficult to say anything but“How interesting,” and modestly murmur somethingabout “intellectual center^ of the universe” sotto voce.So we will leave it to the philosophy students to getexcited about the strengthening of the department.Then there is the proposed student organizationof the Reynolds club. But we have been excited aboutthat already and repetition is the privilege only ofmonomaniacs and great men, so we will refrain fromgetting excited about that. We leave that to Eck-house, who is much better at it.There is the surprising truculence of the baseballand tennis teams. They show signs of intending to winmore than half their own games even against confer¬ence teams. Perhaps we should get excited about thatand stir up a “little campus spirit,” but that would beinconsistent with some of our published views, so thattoo is barred.Exams are near, so perhaps we should get excitedabout the habit the Board of Examiners has of liftingsections from old exams in making the new ones, withthe result that by an assiduous study of former com-prehensives, almost anyone can learn by rote all theanswers and get an A without deserving it. But fortu¬nately there is not enough space left, and it is hot, andthe wind is from the southwest, and our blood pres¬sure must be low. ArsenicANDAPPLESAUCEBy NED ROSENHEIMDEAR UNCLE HENRY,Although it’s hot as blazes I really should writeyou a letter because it’s such a long time since I lastwrote you. And I remember your instructions to writeand keep you in touch with things.Well, Uncle Henry, the latest thing to hit thisstrange place has been a peace strike. You know, fora while I didn’t figger out quite what they meant by“peace strike.” I read about all them strikes in thepaper and I figgered that if there was goin’ to betrouble, marchin’ and arguments, and general bad feel-in’ like they is in most strikes, they couldn’t be outafter much peace.Well, today things started out jist like a reg’larstrike. Early this mornin’ I was goin’ past Cobb Hall(the place where things get taken care of) and sureenough—I seen three people* walkin’ up and down withsigns—just like the pickets in the movies. But rightafter that a feller I know come along and told me thatit really wasn’t like these other strikes—it was ferpeace.Next thing I seen was part of the big parade theyhad, seemed like loads of em, walkin’ along carryin’signs and gettin’ purty excited. A feller standin’ nextto me looking on says “Gee, the same people that fouryears ago were taking the Oxford Oath, are singinghymns against General Franco now.” I can’t under¬stand these things, but you said to send you any per¬tinent comments I might hear, so I’m a-doin’ it.One of the fraternity houses was showin’ a swa¬stika flag. I know most of the fellers who belong tothat fraternity and they seem like pretty great guys.From what I could see they was only funning, butsome of the strikers got mad as blazes. There werereporters from the big papers there and as soon as at¬tention was called to these doings, they started takin’pictures and stuff. Too bad, it seems to me, ’causewhat was done only in fun is likely to give this hereschool another black eye. It seems to sort of showthat if you take things or yourself too serious, youwind up in a jam, don’t it now?Wal I’m beginnin’ to sound like Bruce Barton orEddie Guest or some other highbrow philosopher, andbesides my ideas are probably a lot of bunk. The boyswho get excited about these things call me a “muddledthinker”. I know any of them could argue me down.The Phi Psi’s have been havin’ what they call HellWeek. Last night all their pledges was thrown intothe jug. They was told to get a chicken and a duck, andinstead of buyin’ them, they go to Lincoln Park andstand alongside the lagoon, makin’ quackin’ noises totry and decoy some of the ducks over. The result waswhat you might have expected. Two Zeta Betes didthem a little better and were picked up by the copsfour times in one wild evening of pledge-duty.There was supposed to be a big tennis match to¬day. Chet Murphy was going to play Riggs, the num¬ber two amateur in the country, but Riggs never show¬ed up. The big crowd that was there weren’t disap¬pointed though because Bill Murphy and John Sho-strum put on a powerful fine match.It’s awful hot around here, Unc, so I don’t aim towrite much more. Howsoever, I do hope you’re feelin’in the pink—peace strikers sure seem to be.Your loving nephew,ClarenceLetters to theEditorEditor,The Daily Maroon:In your editorial in the Maroon ofApril 26, entitled “Caterwauling orConstruction” you assign to me therole of cynic concerning the CampusCongress. Just when and to whom didI say or imply “a lot of words havebeen wasted?” Produce the evidenceif you can. I would like to knowwhether I am subject to amnesia.Mary B. Gilson.(It is the editor who suffers fromcarelessness, not Miss Gilson fromamnesia, alafi, Ed)Editor,The Daily Maroon:A Northwestern University grad¬uate student being chosen as headscore girl for Blackfriars is a definiteslap in the face to every University ofChicago Senior woman. As I under¬stand this contest, only senior womenat the University were eligible tocompete, which would seem to makethe selection invalid on this basis.Why wasn’t the picture ruled out im¬mediately when it became known shewas from Northwestern? Is this theway Blackfriars stands by its word,violating the rules of its own con¬test? It would seem to me that afterthe Blackfriars’ so recent shady deal¬ings, they would be wary of any in¬cidents which would give them aneven blacker reputation. That thejudges and Frank Carey stand bytheir selection amazes me and wouldlead me to believe that this is just a publicity stunt and a pretty low oneat that.I think the choice is not only unfairto Chicago women but to Northwest¬ern women as well. If they are goingto choose a Northwestern co-ed ashead score girl, a rather questionablehonor, why not let all Northwesternwomen compete and at least make ita fair contest?If the selection stands as it is, Ibelieve the publicity will be not onlyunfavorable to the Blackfriars showbut to the University of Chicago aswell.M.A.P.{Is this another brainstorm ofthe Back friars' Board, or is our cor¬respondent serious? Ed)Editor,The Daily Maroon:I believe that the members of thisyear’s strike committee were veryhonest and fair in their selection ofbanners for display in the strike.They all lived up to their agreementsnot to attack the others’ positions, butrather to set forth only an activeprogram for peace.However, one’s patience is stretchedto the limit by the continual and mad¬dening actions of one group not as¬sociated with the strike, namely, the4th International. They were not will¬ing to associate themselves with thestrike, yet they were afraid not toparticipate in a movement whichshows its opposition to war. So theyarrived on the scene with a numberof posters definitely attacking otherpeace positions, and at the same timeused the strike as a means for propa¬gating their aims which had nothingto do with the question of peace.To me this was entirely out of placeand I am sure many feel as I doabout the subject.B.E.M.

Reed Warns StudentsAgainst Using DrugsWith comprehensives approaching,the ever-recurring problem of stu¬dents taking drugs to help themthrough examinations comes to thefore.Benzedrine, probably the drug mostwidely used by students, gives atemporary lift, but its net results areinjurious. Dr. Dudley B. Reed, direc¬tor of the Student Health Service,when questioned about the use of thedrug in preparation for examinations,said that a few days after takingbenzedrine, one becomes jittery andnervous, and the mental condition fallsbelow normal.Excessive smoking also dulls themental faculties. Dr. Reed revealed.Most students have a tendency tosmoke more than usual when they arestudying hard, as for a comprehensive.To remain at their mental best forexaminations, habitual smokers shouldsmoke no more than is customary.On the positive side of preparationfor studying for examinations. Dr.Reed maintains that “the good old-fashioned means” are best; sufficientsleep, recreation, exercise out-of-doors, the proper food, and so on.In conclusion, Dr. Reed stated that,for those who feel they really must“take something,” black coffee is prob¬ably the best stimulant and has fewerbad after-effects than most prepara¬tions.“Cats” Honor Dekesat Swing SessionDedicating the session to the mem¬bers of Delta Kappa Epsilon, BobCrosby’s “Bob Cats,” an organizationof swing fans w’hich meets on Sun¬day evenings at the Blackhawk, willcelebrate its first month’s anniversary!on Sunday.

It was notuntil this February, however, that agroup of Romance language studentswho regularly gathered to exchangethoughts in French at lunch, decidedto sponsor Monday afternoon teas forthe campus’ French speakers.Instead of any formal entertain¬ment or organization, the group, ask¬ing a weekly fee of ten cents for thetea served, urged not only Frenchstudents, but all University peoplewho were interested in talking French,to come to the informal teas. TheModern Language department holdsteas in the Wieboldt commons room,where the French teas are held, onevery day except Monday, so theFrench teas supplement the socialactivities of the department eventhough they are not connected withit.Several of the group have continuedto meet daily for lunch, and they havea reserved table in Ida Noyes where,again, only French is spoken. Al¬though this group is so far composedchiefly of graduate students, under¬graduates may come either to lunchor to the teas, and, if they wish, mere¬ly listen to the conversation.Hear Patterson,Utley, WilsonSpeak on Peace(Continued from page 1)Council for Foreign Relations, statedthat we have no guarantee that anymeasures will provide peace, but thatcollective security seems the mostlikely to succeed. “A program forpeace must take an alternative,” Ut¬ley claimed. “War is inevitable, butcollective security should be attempt¬ed, not only now, when you are stu¬dents, but carried through in yourdaily life in the decades which areto come.”Feise Requests OrderWhen the speeches were completed,Dick Feise of the Progressive Club, ap¬proached the microphone to presentthe day’s most sensational address.Blustered he, “If you don’t want totake the literature the Trotskyitesare handing out, you don’t have to,but refuse quietly, don’t take a pokeat them! I^et’s keep this a quiet or¬derly strike,” Feise reiterated. “I’mhot-tempered too, but the administra¬tion doesn’t want to have a fuss.”The four-abreast, orderly-as-re-quested parade wound up in the Cir¬cle where about 500 students signedthe four petitions bearing the pro¬gram proposed in the Peace Call.Those who desired took the OxfordOath as administered by Ruben Lamb,Negro divinity student. At least 100sw'ore to it, according to estimates.Envelopes requesting students tofast for one meal and to send themoney to buy food for Spanish chil¬dren were distributed among thoseattending the meeting.FROLIC THEATRE951 EAST 55th STREETTHURSDAY - FRIDAY - SATURDAYMYRNA LOY 6. ROSAUND RUSSELLMAN - PROOF"ANDJAMES STEWART S WALTER HUSTONIN"OF HUMAN HEARTS" Tibet, land of mystery and romanceto most people, is practically “home”to Robert B. Ekvall, graduate stu¬dent at the University. Member ofa family of missionaries, Ekvall hasspent some 25 years of his life inChina and Tibet, doing missionarywork during the last 10 or 12 of them.With his wife and young son, helived among the tent-dwellers of thegreat central Asiatic plateau, travel¬ing in caravans with the nomads, fol¬lowing them in their seasonal migra¬tions in search of forage, accompany¬ing them on their scouting expedi¬tions. The job of a missionary con¬sists, first, in breaking down hostilityand diffusing influence, and second,in the actual making of converts, andin both respects Ekvall declared hewas successful. He managed to pene¬trate into areas never before reachedby missionaries.Robbery Common“Life in these regions is precari¬ous,” he. explained, “and one is de¬pendent upon his friends for keepingout of trouble. The Tibetans do notconsider robbery a disgrace and everyman is a potential bandit.” How¬ever, he was successful in makingmany friends and in adapting hislife to theirs. Although a nearlyprimitive people, these nomads are inno way inferior to us. Their conver¬sation is as pungent, witty and evenas racy, as ours, and their oratory insome respects superior.The Tibetans are of two types, no¬madic and sedentary, the former be¬ing in almost every respect the su¬perior. Across the border in Chinaare the Chinese proper and the Mos¬lem Chinese, the latter being descend¬ants of Arab mercenaries of theseventh century and later.Ekvall was born in China andlived there until he w-as 14. Aftergraduating from Wheaton College hereturned to China to do missionarywork in 1923. In 1929 he w'ent intoTibet as the representative of theChristian Missionary Alliance, asmall inter-denominational body. Heexpects to return there as soon aspossible, the present war being oneof the things holding him up.Lived in High RegionThe region in which the Ekvallslived is in the Northeast part of thecountry, near the basin of the Yel¬low' River, and just across the borderfrom the Chinese province of Kansu.It is nearly two and one-half milesabove sea level. To reach the regionit was necessary for them to travelby railroad, five or six days by bus,more than a week by mule caravan,and then to organize their own cara¬van for the trip into the wilderness.Because of the informal anthropo¬logical studies that Ekvall made in aFREE!During the month of April wewill clean, adjust, and machinecheck your spark plugs—nocharge — no obligation.

Since the Pi Lams were sec¬ond in the league they will also getan opportunity to play for the fra¬ternity championship.The game was exceptionally wellplayed by the Alpha Delts who madeno errors. The only Pi Lam run wasmade by the first hitter on a homerun. The winners won the game inthe fourth when they bunched sevenhits, two of them homers, to scorefour runs.Sigma Chi WinsIn the Alpha league Sigma Chi de¬cisively defeated Zeta Beta Tau thir¬teen to one to take second place inthe league and therefore enter theplayoffs. The Sigma Chi’s made theirbig rally in the second when everyman made one hit to bring in sixruns.The closest game of the day wasthe Psi Upsilon ‘B’ victory over BetaTheta Pi by a 15-13 score. The Be¬tas scored six runs in the openingframe to take a good lead. At theend of the fifth they still led, thistime by six runs, 13-7. However, thePsi U’s made an exceptionally strongfinish to score four runs in each ofthe last two innings and win the ball-game. The outstanding hitter of theencounter was Harry Barnard ofPsi U who crossed the plate fourtimes in as many trips to the plate.He connected for tw’o homers.Kappa Sigma won its first game ofthe season when it defeated DeltaUpsilon ‘B’ nine to tw'o. The win¬ning nine built up its lead in the open¬ing innings and then coasted to vic¬tory.

Theyjockeyed their opponents out of posi¬tion and then either retreated with astop cut or a swift parry-riposte, orelse exploded forward with a heavysimple attack, shouting “Et la!” andstriking before the first syllable wasthrough their masks.The national champions, many ofwhom practice daily in the New YorkAthletic Club, where the meet washeld, take the sport extremely ser¬iously, building up an explosive at¬titude in each interval between bouts,thus partially accounting for theirstupefying speed and alertness.Strauss, Corbett, and Fritz foundthey have a long way to go to equalthe leaders, but they think they pickedup many tips that will help themtake the few points necessary tochange a 5-2 defeat into a 5-4 victory.
