W. Fodor, Central Euro¬pean correspondent of the ChicagoDaily News and the ManchesterGuardian, yesterday. About 200 per¬sons heard him in Mandel Hall.Had Czechoslovakia mobilized itsarmy at the time of the Germancoup in Austria, the Anschluss wouldnot have occurred, he declared. Ger¬man troops did not cross the Austrianfrontier until eight hours afterSchushnigg had made his famous ra¬dio speech, announcing his resigna¬tion and ordering the Austrian armyto resist the invaders. This hesitan¬cy on Hitler’s part was due, he said,to the fear as to what the Czechswould do.Some of the facts revealed by Fo¬dor during his talk, were that 40 percent of the German motorized unitswhich invaded Austria broke downbefore reaching Vienna and that ingeneral the materials of the Germanarmy are deficient; that Czechoslova¬kia, contrary to popular reports, iswell fortified on the Austrian fron¬tier; that great demonstrationsagainst both Hitler and Mussoliniwere staged in Genoa, following theAnschluss; and that Schushnigg, witha slight amount of legal pressurewould have obtained the support of70-86 per cent of the Austrian popu¬lation, had the plebiscite he called ac¬tually been held.Stevens Hotel HoldsAfter Exams DanceSeniors, exams over, are invited torelax to the music of Marvin Fredericand his orchestra at the Stevens Ho¬tel tonight when the University’s po¬tential graduates will be CollegeNight guests of honor.Underclassmen, however, will dothe University’s share of the enter¬taining with Virginia Shilton, a mem¬ber of Sigma, singing, and Tex Kasleof Zeta Beta Tau dancing.

They will both serve until thefirst meeting of the Union next year.Members of the PU voted in betterthan a three to two ratio against theproposition of the evening, “Re¬solved: That this Union believes thereis more incipient Fascism in the NewDeal than in the forces opposed tothe New Deal.”One of the guest speakers, Ben¬jamin Adamowski, Democratic floorleader of the Illinois lower house wasunable to attend the meeting becauseof the calling of a special session ofthe Chamber. However, the otherspeakers provided plenty of heat.Edward Chayes, Republican candi¬date for Municipal Judge and theother guest speaker, confined his talkto a general criticism of the New Dealbecause he had not known of the sub¬ject for discussion.Ralph Rosen and Earl Birdzell,both conservatives, supported the pro¬posal, while Winnie Leeds, radicaland Bob Merriam, liberal, opposed it.Following the four regular studentspeeches, Merriam, who had confinedhis talk to a criticism of the oppo¬nents of the reorganization bill, andChayes spent some time explaining toeach other just what the reorganiza¬tion bill did and did not say.The meeting closed with the usualquestions and talks from the floor.Chayes having the last rebuttal.

FRIDAY, MAY 20, 1938PLATFORM1. Creation oi a vigorous campus community.2. Abolition oi intercollegiate athletics.3. Progressive politics.4. Revision oi the College Plan.5. A chastened presidenLDear Mr. HullIn the campus peace poll held a month ago, 550 stu¬dents voted that they were in favor of lifting the em¬bargo on war materials to Loyalist Spain. Since thattime Senator Nye, originally a strong supporter of theNeutrality Act, has brightened their hopes by declaringhimself, in the interest of discontinuing what was ineffect a partisan policy, an advocate of lifting the em¬bargo. Last week Secretary of State Cordell Hulldashed them by advising that the resolution be killedin committee.Yesterday word went around that there is still achance to bring the resolution before Congress, whichwill be in session two more weeks. The effectivenessof pressure by letter and telegram was well illustratedin the death of the recent reorganization bill. 550 let¬ters to Washington might convince the administrationthat Senator Nye is not the only supporter of the Span¬ish Loyalists.A. R.Education Through ExaminationEvery year the survey staffs make up new examina¬tions; every year their students sit through six hoursof Bartlett gymnasium to write them. And every yearthese same students complain that the courses shouldnot end with the last discussion section. They findthrough the comprehensives a more clear integrationof the course than they have been able to discover ina year of lectures and individual readings, and beginto think that a review of the exams would be a goodidea.The examinees may discuss the situation with a fewfriends, find that everyone has reached the same con¬clusion, and decide to talk it all over with one of theirdiscussion leaders. The answers they receive are stand¬ardized by years of experience with similar queries.What the replies amount to is this—it would take muchtoo much secretarial work to keep all the examinationson file, every student who saw his exam would contestthe grade, if anyone really wants the exam he may buy‘ it at the bookstore, and, most startling of all, the com-■ prehensives are given only for the purpose of determin¬ing grades.It seems strange that some enterprising professorhasn’t thought of a way past these difficulties. Whetheror not the comprehensives are originally planned mere¬ly to test information, the fact that students see agreater value for them should encourage the staff mem¬bers to take some action, even if it means using the sec¬ond best method.Supposing that it were indeed financially and psy¬chologically impossible to allow each student to lookover his own paper, then there are still several thingsthat might be done. There might be a vacant class¬room fitted out with stacks of examinations bearing cor¬rect answers in the formerly blank spaces, and over thedoor a sigfn would proclaim, “Grades may not be men¬tioned here.” At specified hours a discussion leaderwould brave the rows of embattled students to explainwhy the various answers had been chosen.After the gray pre-comprehensive days, when an in¬terest in education seems completely thrown overboardto make room for a canny consideration of what willbe asked on the examination, it seems that instructorswould be overcome with joy at the opportunity to helpstudents on a purely non-grade level. They post correc¬tions for quarterly grades, they devote hours to pre¬paratory review sections, but the correct answers to the culminating educational experience of the coursethey completely ignore.True, there is always the chance that if students seesample comprehensives they may be tempted to reviewwith a view to grade-changing. At five dollars a headthe University should scarcely regret it.A.

Firstit was Blackfriars, then for a spell it switched over tointercollegiate athletics, and then it came back to Black¬friars again.Latest victim now is International House, poorthing, which made daily paper fame merely by closingthe reception room at 11 instead of 1, switching on afew more lights, replacing deep comfy sofas withstraight backed chairs (very good for the character)and turning all couches with slightest air of luxurious¬ness to cold public view.Might we shyly add, in the midst of the silly stew,that perhaps it might be an integral policy of the House,instituted in fact by our own John D. (Rockefeller ofcourse). For House officials accompanying him on hisfirst tour of the House say that first he proudly surveyedevery inch of the building, next expressed his approval...then a sudden thought struck him. Said John D—“Can you see any place where young couples might gooff all by themselves?”“Oh no,” said the officials who had rather been won¬dering about the situation themselves.“Fine,” said John D. with relief. “I don’t want anygood looking foreigners making love to American girlshere and then running off and leaving ’em.”(Just think of the girls’ dorm unfortunates whohaven’t any protection whatsoever.)LIKE THE PROVERBIALcat with the numerous lives former Marooncolumnist Cody Pfanstiehl always manages to pop backinto the news with his original doings.Now in addition to entertaining the kiddies at asettlement house he’s been collaborating on a brandmew column.Financially backed by Johnny Morris, co-written byBill Hennig, the wordage is titled “Footloose in Chica¬go.” The non-de-plume is Foster Hall, the originalidea came from Sterling North, Daily News book re¬viewer, who has a soft spot in his heart for strugglingyoung authors.“Footloose” smacks of O. 0. McIntyre. It’s got alot of pathos and joy, lights and the shadows, the Ghet¬tos and Gold coasts of Chicago which might delightsmall town hearts. Each week 275 mimeographed copiesare mailed to neighboring small town newspaper editorswho might want to intrigue villagers with the glamorof the big city. After the first two weeks (gratis),the owners plan to charge $1 a week for the privilegeof running “Footloose.” And 275 times $1 is no smallsum, should it materialize of course.Cody writes the human interest material. Man-about-town stuff such as “who-do-you-suppose-I-saw-with-Lupe-Velez-the-other-nite” is done by Hennig, whoalso corrects the spelling since that is the least ofCody’s virtues. While Johnny takes care of the fingernail biting technique.Letters to theEditorEditor,The Daily Maroon:From an unofficial report, welearned that Kappa Alpha Psi willbe denied admission into the Inter-Fraternity Council. We shall be verydisappointed if this report provesofficial.As you know, it is not humanlypossible for us to meet the require¬ment of owning a house on the cam¬pus. Our fraternity is well able toback this chapter in purchasing ahouse. It has specifically said thatfunds would be available at any timesuch a house could be obtained.Our case is unique in this regard.For this reason we feel that our re¬quest for admission without a houseon campus is a justifiable one. Wefeel assured that no other fraternitywill ask for this type of concession.Contrary to a report circulated byMax Freeman, all members of IotaChapter of Kappa Alpha Psi arestudents matriculating in the Univer¬sity of Chicago. Acting as advisorsto the Chapter are three men whocompleted their graduate work inthe University during the past twoyears. They will gladly relinquishtheir association with the local Chap¬ter if this is an issue in the case. Todate we have an active membershipof twenty-six men in Iota Chapter. There are four pledges seeking ad¬mission. Kappa Alpha Psi is a nation¬al fraternity with eighty-four chap¬ters set up in universities and col¬leges throughout the country.We assure you that we will do ev¬erything in our power to be an assetto the Inter-Fratemity Council. Beingoutside of it, we cannot operate effec¬tively as a fraternity at the Univer¬sity of Chicago. We cannot adequate¬ly express ourselves in the University,nor can we make our contribution to¬ward its total social life. Neither canwe experience the dynamic peculiarto college life, for such can be com¬pletely realized only through the co¬operative enterprises and commonfraternal interests sponsored by thecouncil.We appreciate your patience andunderstanding.Iota Chapter, Kappa Alpha Psi.Lloyd Galloway.ANSWER TO HYMANEditor,The Daily Maroon:One cannot question the editor’sjudgment in choosing to publish SidHyman’s long and eloquent defense ofPhil La Follette’s party. Nor can onequestion Sidney’s sincerity and hisability to write polished prose. Theseare matters suitable to be taken upon some other occasion. The questionbefore us now is, what place in thenational political struggle does theNational Progressive Party hold?The answer to such a question doesnot hinge upon a discussion of the character of Phil La Follette. For thisreason we must analyze the thirdparty not in the light of La Follette’scharacter, primarily, but rather in thelight of the progressive movement inAmerica and of the needs of thatmovement.The very first need of that move¬ment, as anyone can see, is unity.Without a common democratic frontwhich prepares the way for a genu¬ine progressive party including work¬ers, farmers, and the middle classes,any progressive movement is doomedto defeat. Not all the talk in theworld concerning a need for bettersymbols or lovelier slogans, can abol¬ish this fact. Go to Detroit or toSeattle, it still remains grimly true.Go to New York, you will find it hap¬pily true. Not all of the well-writtenarticles in the universe can abolishthe united front of reaction, the sit-down strike of big capital, the re¬actionary drive to split the forces oflabor, the concerted attack upon theNew Deal and indeed upon all democ¬racy.The democratic organization of themasses of the people Governor LaFoliette rejects as a “conglomerationof conflicting, opposing forces hud¬dled together for temporary ex¬pediency.” Even more than this, herejects the policies of Roosevelt en¬tirely, forgetting the twofold dangerof that rejection. For the danger ex¬ists that if the progressive measuresof the Administ»*ation, lacking muchas they do, should fail—then surely(Continued on page 3) Complete Selections ofARROW SHIRTSStmt, «Nf Jmmkmmm.

FBTOAY, MAY 20. 1988 Page ThreilThe NationalProgressivesBy SIDNEY HYMANt St. Thomas Aquinas once ad¬dressed himself to the questionwhether it was sinful for a woman touse cosmetics. He replied, “If she usesthem because of her vanity, it is ven¬ial sin. If she uses them in order tolure men, it is a carnal sin. But ifshe uses them t;) cover up a physicaldefect, it is no sin at all and sheshould be commended.? Something ofthis spirit “it all depends"—shouldcharacterise the attitude of those ob¬serving the La Follette tactics.Ambition directed toward securingthe good of the one instead ofthe good of the whole is tyranny.Rhetoric used to make the massesacquiesce in that ambition is dcma-(foguery. The recognition of thevalidity of these dangers surroundingthe program and policy of the Na¬tional Progressive Party has movedthe associates of Governor La Folletteto submit in abatement of the dan¬gers.At the present state of the Party’sevolution, the most valid judgment onecan make is— “It all depends.” It isrelevant to ask the very importantquestion whether the means to beemployed are not in themselvestreacherous, regardless of the nobilityof purpose for which they are em¬ployed. It is also relevant to askwhether a knife is a treacherous in¬strument. We would answer that aknife in the hands of a maniac is aconstant menace to the environment.Rut in the hands of a skilful surgeon,it may insure someone’s life. Themain theses of these articles hascentered about a conviction that Phil¬lip La Follette’s past public recordshould at least give him the benefitof the doubt—that he seeks to per¬form the function of a skilful surgeon.There is an inherent danger inhaving too much faith in a politicalleader. But there is as much dangerin having too little faith. Liberals arethe peculiar victims of the latter dan¬ger. Conditioned by a determinationto be objective about every politicalprogram or leader, liberals go to theextreme of making a fetish of theirobjectivity while what they stood offto view objectively is lost to theirsight. “Objectivity” sprinkled withholy water through its associationwith “science” becomes a convenientjustification for complete passivity.Problems arise in social relationswhich cry for solution. They are prob¬lems appearing in time. And no mat¬ter how contingent human knowledgemay be, that knowledge which isavailable must be brought to bear onthe solution of these problems. It ispart of the genius of the Democratic•system that judgments of politicalleaders can be progressively rectifiedas they gain new insights, or as theelectorate itself gains new insightand through the intervention of elec¬tions, repudiates the decisions ofits officers.Phillip La Follette is not an angel.Hanley’sBuffet1612 E. 6Sth St.IF YOU WANT COLLEGESONGS—IIF YOU WANT "COLLETlATE” ATMOSPHERE—■IF YOU WANT TO SEEYCJR CAMPUS FRIENDS—YOU ARE ASSURED OFSUCH AN EVENING ATHANLEY’S Names Counsehrs-(Continued from page 1)Kromhaut, Frank Horwich, JoffreHeineck, D.

And, on the otherhand, the applause which he now re¬ceives from the Tory press only sym¬bolizes the fact that in splitting awayfrom the Roosevelt forces, a growingthird party of LaFollette’s sort wouldpave the way for a Liberty Leaguevictory in the coming elections andin the 1940 campaign.Without unity between Negro andwhite, native-born and foreign-born,worker and farmer and middle-class,(all of which LaFollette either doesnot mention or violently rejects)—there will be no successful new pro¬gressive party. Our own experiences,as well as the recent events in Eur¬ ope and China, have taught us thatfascist reaction or united democracymust triumph in the near future.Synthetic slogans and synthetic par¬ties, like patent medicines, may foolus but can never cure us. La Follette,who supports American isolation sovigorously as an intexYiational policy—has now come out for isolationwithin also. Rejecting Roosevelt, andrejected by his own Progressive groupin Wisconsin because of his splittingmoves—he has made two things clear.The first is, that his new movementis not part of the general progressiverealignment of the people. The secondis, that at present it has a reaction¬ary, anti-progressive tendency andoutlook.La Follette is no Messiah come tolead us out of darkness. No man, re¬gardless of his background or propa¬ganda techniques, can lead a progres¬sive movement if he overlooks thecrying needs of the people, if he ig¬nores the chief enemy, reactionarymonopoly, and if he attacks the im¬mediate organization of a uniteddemocratic front.Macha Rosenthal.

A limited num¬ber of endowed scholarships will alsobe given.Selection of recipients, with theexception of the competitive winners,is made by the Committee on Schol¬arships composed of Aaron J. Brum¬baugh, Dean of Students in the Col¬lege, chairman; Leon P. Smith, as¬sistant Dean of Students; Paul B.Jacobson, assistant Dean of the Col¬lege; Valerie C. Wickhem, Directorof Admissions; Martin J. Freeman,pre-entrance counselor; William E.Scott, Adviser in the College; andMiss Hilda L. Norman, assistant pro¬fessor of Romance Languages. GeorgeA. Works, Dean of Students; andEmery T. Filbey, Vice-President ofthe University, act as ex-officio mem¬bers.Scholarship RequirementsThe prize scholarships are awardedon the basis of competitive examina¬tions, the one-year honor entrance onexcellence of scholarship in highschool, and the two-year honor en¬trance scholarships for men for highschool scholarships and leadership inactivities. An attempt is made todistribute these latter awards ratherwidely throughout the country.A certain small number of theseawards will be refused by the re¬cipients, some of them “scholarshipshoppers” who apply to several uni¬versities, select the one that offersthem the greatest inducement; somewill refuse because lack of financialresources even augmented by suchaid will preclude matriculation at theUniversity; a small number may alsoreceive scholarships from Harvard,and go to America’s number one Uni¬versity instead. Refused scholarshipswill be reassigned to prankers on thelong waiting list.The majority of the awards will beaccepted and the recipients willmatriculate this autumn. If these stu¬dents follow the pattern shown in theMay, 1935, report of the Board ofExaminations, which has since re¬mained substantially unchanged, theirgrade averages during their first yearbased on a scale of “A” equal to 4;“B,” 3; “C,” 2; “D,” 1; and “F,” 0,will be as follows; Full competitivescholarship holders, 2.7; half competi¬tive scholarships, 2.7; one-year honorscholarships, 2.6; less than one-yearscholarships, 2.3; two-year honorscholarshps for men, 1.8; non-schol¬arship group 1.6; average for totalclass, 1.8.High school graduates desiringhonor scholarships must fill out bothan application for admission and ascholarship application blank. Afterthe application is cleared the casesare submitted to the Committee onScholarships. They are then carefullystudied by a sub-committee as awhole.Personal InterviewsNext, candidates living within theChicago area who in the opinion ofthe Committee deserve further consid¬eration are invited to be personallyinterviewed by Committee members orcollege advisors and to take an apti¬tude test. Purpot^e of the interview isto determine personal qualities of ma¬turity, clarity in defining educationalobjectives, seriousness of purpose,personality, and similar indices.Held each May in Ida Noyes, theseinterviews take the form of supposed¬ly informal conversations with threeinterviewers. Each interviewer, how¬ever, makes out a report on a mimeo¬graphed blank, which he is instructedpot to permit the applicant to see.The report form is divided into threemain sections: educational pbjective,personality and activities record, andfinancial status. The scholarship rat¬ing on the basis of the interview isindicated on the blank in code, “I”indicating one year, “H” for two year,“III” for half scholarship, and “no”for refusal. Questions under educa¬tional objective pertain to vocational Aaron J. Brumbaugh, acting Deanof the College and chief mogul of theScholarship Committee, helps decidewho gets xchat freshman scholar¬ships.plans, basis of choice, experience infield, knowledge of requirements, andtraining, and possession of personalqualifications; under personality andactivities record, is rating of per¬sonality, appearance, poise and man¬ner, and leadership and membershipin activities; under financial status isnumber of parents living, annual fam¬ily income, number and ages of otherchildren, home owned or rented, makeand year of automobile if any, if theapplicant will live at home, minimumaid necessary for one year, possibilityof coming on half scholarship, plansand experience in outside work, andalternative educational plan.Following this the Committee meetsagain, reviews the original applica¬tion, plus information gained fromthe interview and scholastic aptitudetest, and then makes final selections.In the case of applicants living out¬side of the Chicago area where a per¬sonal interview with the ScholarshipCommittee is impossible decisionsmust be made largely upon the basisof the written credentials. However,the University representatives are re¬quested to see as many applicants aspossible and the regional alumni ad¬visors are also asked to make reportson candidates.Suave RefusalsScholarship winners will then benotified, unsuccessful applicants willreceive a suavely-diplomatic mimeo¬graphed refusal note and special let¬ters will be sent to those refused be¬cause the Committee has decided thatthe applicant’s financial resources areinsufficient to permit attendance evenwith a scholarship; some cases willbe held for Board of Trustees schol¬arships, others for reassignment ofrefused honor entrance scholarships.Examinations for the prize scholar¬ships are given each spring in Chicagoand approximately 16 outside centers.This year 22 full and 36 half scholar¬ships were awarded. Examinationswere offered in 11 high school sub¬jects, from which each contestantchose three to write on. The threemost popular tests among the win¬ners were mathematics upon which 37contestants wrote, English with 29papers, and Chemistry with 27.In addition to the honor entranceand prize scholarships, a few Boardof Trustees Scholarships are awarded 'to students with high academic rec¬ords who would be unable to attendwithout such aid. These are limited toone-half tuition. A number of en¬dowed scholarships are also offeredto entering students of which themost important are those of the LaVerne Noyes foundation for WorldWar veterans or their descendants.^IF YOU WANT TOEARN $300-$500THIS SUMMER DOING FAIRLYEASY EDUCATIONAL WORKSEE MR. RIDDLERm. 1207-58 E. WASHINGTON Cite Instances of OutsidePressure on Committeein Making Awards.By REX HORTONIn an adjoining column is presenteda factual survey concerning scholar¬ships for entering students at theUniversity. Of perhaps greater im¬portance is an attempt to evaluatethese facts and to interpret variousphases of the problem upon whichfacts are not available or are not re¬leased.It is impossible to judge the ef¬fectiveness of these scholarships in¬sofar as the success of the recipientsin later University achievements isconcerned due to an almost completelack of statistics on the subject. Ap¬parently the University invests some$38,000 per year in subsidization ofentering students, yet makes littleeffort to check up on the results ob¬tained.It is equally impossible to provehow fair, unbiased, and uninfluencedthe Committee on Scholarships is inthe selection of recipients, but argu¬ments may be heard on both sides. Inregard to scholarships in general, itappears that on the whole the sys¬tem of awards is satisfactory but thepolicies concerning the two-yearhonor entrance scholarships for men.and the methods employed in thepersonal interviews leave room fordesirable improvements.Committee FreeThe Committee on Scholarshipsclaims that it is a free agent in thematter of selection of recipients andthat this freedom is recognized andupheld by the Board of Trustees. Aspokesman for the Committee has ex¬plained that the members are glad toreceive recommendations from out¬side sources, but that alumni pres¬sure, support of candidates by do¬nors, faculty members, former teach¬ers, or other interested groups, “willnot guarantee any special considera¬tion.” It is claimed that there is nodiscrimination on racial, religious,political or other grounds, althoughthe Committee would be reluctant topass upon the application of a candi¬date who had been a persistent trou¬ble-maker in high school until thebasis of the disturbances had beenascertained. However, “The Committee would be inclined to give morefavoi to ohe not a potential trouble¬maker.”The proceedings of the Committeeobviously are not open to the public,and the more personal written com¬ments on the cases are sometimeskept separate and carefully not filedBOBCROSBYand his bandwithMARION MANNThe "BOB-CATS"andGrand Swing RevueEvery Sunday 3-6 p.m.“BOB-CATS” CLUBMEETINGBLACKHAWKBANDOLPH & WABASHDEARBORN 6212 with the applications later. There¬fore, since this “freedom” would bedisputed by certain students and bycertain persons with some insideknowledge of the proceedings, it isonly fair to present both sides of thediscussion.On record for example, is an ap¬plication for an honor entrance schol¬arship submitted in the Autumn quar¬ter of 1936 by a relative of a womanwho donated considerable funds forone of the older campus buildingswhich bears her name. The Commit¬tee on Scholarships expressed its•written willingness to grant him ascholarship, provided that he was eli¬gible for admission. Due to his ex¬tremely low high school scholasticstanding; however, it was later foundimpossible to admit him.Receive LetterAlso on record is a friendly letteraddressed to a member of the Com¬mittee from a vice-president of adowntown insurance company on be¬half of a certain application. Thewriter expressed his gratitude overall that the Committee (known as“you boys”) had done for his groupin the past, and while he realized thatthe number of scholarships is defin¬itely limited, he hoped that the Com¬mittee might reach down in the oldbag just once more and draw outanother on behalf of his candidate..The Committee, in this instance, how¬ever did not fulfill the request.Another scholarship applicant whohad at first been refused a scholar¬ship later came to campus to talkwith one of the Committee members.The Committee member is quoted asfinding a scholarship for him “be¬cause he seemed like a nice boy.’’Whether or not sons and daughters ofUniversity faculty members are dis¬criminated against seems to be a mootpoint. Some claim to have been toldthat certain scholarships would notbe available to them for this reason, whereas in at least one case on thegraduate level the daughter of afaculty member, after pressure hadbeen applied, was granted a fellow-ship even though the application wasreceived some time after the finaldeadline.From the figures given in the ac¬companying story, the prize scholar¬ship winners and the one-year honorentrance recipients appear to bedefinitely outstanding in scholarshipat least during their first year in theCollege, but the grade averages of thetwo-year honor men is exactly thesame as the average for the entireclass and only two-tenths of one pointabove the grades of the non-scholar¬ship group. Such results might beexpected since the one-year awardsare usually awarded only to thoseranking near the top of their highschool class with the scholarship rec¬ord being given primary considera¬tion, but the two-year awards are“activities scholarships” which areawarded to applicants having a broadrange of extra-curricular leadershipin high school, with the scholastic rec¬ord being given a lesser weighting.Upper PercentageIn practice, all scholarship recip¬ients generally rank in the upper 10per cent of their graduating class, ex¬cept some of these two-year men.But since the median percentile rank¬ing in the high school graduatingclass of the entire group of enteringfreshmen is approximately 90, thisamounts to saying that in generalscholarship holders are in the upperhalf of the entering group, althoughsome of the two-year men may be inthe lower half. As shown in the ac¬companying story, the grade averageof this group during the first year inthe College is between a “D” and a“C.” The percentage of these two-year scholarships which are evokedin the second year is negligible since(Continued on page 6)Direct from your rooms, at Iohcost, high economy and onemove: Merely phone our agent to call.

Basis for 2-Year Honor AwardsSeems too Tenuous and Indefinite(Continued from page 3)Dolphin Club HoldsSplash Party TonightThe Dolphin club, honorary swim¬mers’ fraternity, will wind up theyear with a party for its memberstonight in Bartlett Gymnasium. Asplash party in the pool and dancingin the trophy room are to be themain events of the evening.President Bob Anderson also an¬nounced that the following men wererecently initiated into the Club: LouisFrench, Allan Teag, Chuck Percy,Dick Boobjerg, George Crandall,Charles Murphy, John Speck, BillChapman, A1 DeGratias, Joe Stevens,Bill Macy, Charles Brown, and CarlAdams. the only scholastic requirement isthat the holder must pass three com-prehensives with at least two gradesof “C.”The relatively heavy weight thusgiven to activities and the relativelyminor consideration accorded academ¬ic standing in the selection of thetwo-year honor men seems to be aninconsistent way of attracting schol¬ars to an institution, which, at leastin the words of its president, shouldbe interested primarily in intellectualdevelopment. There would seem to belittle justification for a universitynoted for its outstanding academicleadership to award scholarships tomen sometimes ranking relativelylow in the entering group, when morebrilliant students must sacrifice manyvaluable hours working on NYA andother jobs in order to strugglethrough at all. A critical reconsidera¬tion of the two-year scholarshipscould result in improvements whichmight be of value to the academicwelfare of the University.Personal InterviewsThe personal interviews with ap¬plicants in the Chicago area as nowconducted are particularly inconsis¬tent. It seems hard to understand whya series of questions assuming thecandidate to have some fairly definitevocational and educational objectivesshould be asked, in view of the factthat a primary purpose of the Collegeis to broaden the student’s perspectiveand to stimulate new interests, andthat the University is trying to keepaway from the current dilemma ofvocationalism which besets so muchof contemporary American education.While the personality of the candidatealso should be considered, it is ofGolf Tourney NearsSemi-Final RoundTOQ-(Continued from page 2)Alumnae group.

Though it is not official, thewinning of this meet gave the Ma¬roons the Big Ten title. Tennis Cap¬tain John Shostrom played on theteam but had to drop out after thesecond round because of his bad an¬kle. relatively little importance at thislevel from a standpoint of intellectualdevelopment.Further, the practice of having, theinterviews conducted in part by somehalf-dozen different persons who arenot members of the Committee wouldseem to make any consistent objectivestandards of judgment extremely dif¬ficult. In addition, the record formsare sometimes rather incompletelyfilled out. Such comments as “Niceboy, but uses perfume,’’ and “Bitesher finger nails. Definitely not Chi¬cago material’’ are not very enlight¬ening. Worthwhile improvements cer¬tainly could be made here.In the matter of recommendations,the applicant is required to list threereferences, presumably to enable theCommittee to obtain further informa¬tion of a more personal nature con¬cerning the candidate. But, it is aknown fact that the Committee rare¬ly troubles to consult with these per¬sons. Certain applicants, however, en¬close dozens of recommendations fromprominent alumni, faculty members,etc. constituting a practice whichcertainly does not make for any de¬gree of uniformity.Here, then are a few attempts atevaluating the present scholarshipsituation, and suggest for a fewdesired improvements.
