BuUSession♦ * *By HENRY LUCCOCK mft Batlp inanionVol. 39 No. 21. Z-149 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1938 Price Three Cents{Today’s biiU session presents theConservative point of vietv in th^forthcoming elections. Liberal andleft ning platforms will appear thisweek in following issues.)Nobody knows anything very defi¬nite about the “inarticulate majority"on this campus. Most conservativeshave been well protected from all thesuffering and bitterness that is socommon today and naturally are notobsessed with a passion for change.Consequently they have little to sayuntil some sort of direct conflict withthe New Deal makes them aware ofthe Roosevelt menace, and they voicetheir confused fear through the Torypress. Roosevelt jokes, and such or¬ganizations as the American LibertyLeague, the Chamber of Commerce,and the D.A.R.• * *But there is a conservative pro-ftram, more or less, and there areconservatives who have broken awayfrom the conservatism of self-preser¬vation and have shared at one time inthe enlighenment of typical U. of C.adolescent liberalism, which consistsof ardent devotion to certain praise¬worthy goals, which meet with every¬one’s approval from Knox to Corcoran,and much contempt for the reaction¬aries who want to talk about themeans of attaining them. When a lib¬eral begins to worry about the difficul¬ties of fulfilling his dreams, when hebegins to say, “Yes, but—.” when heacquires the habit of thinking beforeacting—then we would call him aconservative.Our program is largely negative.We have had enough of Roosevelt,and we want to put on the brakes.Even if we approved of everythinghe has done, and some of us do, wewould still be for calling a halt. Wewant to stop and think a while. Wewant to study the changes that havebeen made and see how they are work¬ing out. From a truly liberal view¬point, there is always the danger ofbringing a progressive undertakinginto disrepute by imbecilic adminis¬tration, as in the Alaskan coloniza¬tion venture. We would have orderrestored and give ourselves a chanceto get u perspective before we go on.We would put recovery before re-reform. \ long-run viewpoint is ahealthy one, but eight years of de¬pression is too much. With war debtpayments a thing of the past, withanother war threatening, or impend¬ing, and another depression due be¬fore this one is half paid for, thethought of our swelling national debtis terrifying. Our solution here again |is negative. We would give business ia permanent breathing spell. To denythat businessmen are afraid to ex¬pand or take on mure help is prettyi^ood pr<M>f of derangement, and werton’t waste time arguing with those!rtho say that there is no reason toi>e afraid. (Jive business a chance to ;recover, and emergency expenditures jill be unnecessary.

We would't<»P all expensive reform measureshat are not directly a part of the re¬covery program.* * *1 think most of us favor the wageind hour law, although there is a•loc that believes lower wages are es-ential to recovery.

Experiment WithNew Waste LureOn Foster LawnEven the lowly waste basket musthave class these days; witness theneat, new little number of stout oakw'hich until yesterday graced thefront lawn of Foster hall.E. R. Flook, head of Buildings andGrounds, and Mrs. Beatrice Farrand,consulting landscape gardener de¬cided last week that campus basketsmust acquire a “certain something”to lure scraps of paper waste-basketwards.The new, cathedral-like containerwhich matched campus benches wasmerely on trial. Whether it will bemultiplied in the future to dot the{campus with more of its kind is aI question still debated by the B and G•department, which last night had nothanded down final decision.Laborite DeckSpeaks to ASUEight Committees Pre¬sent Activities Programsfor Coming Year.Harry Deck, secretary of Labor’s• Non-Partisan League of Cook Coun¬ty, will speak at an American Stu¬dent Union meeting at 3:30 today,in Social Science 122, on campaignissues and candidates of the cominggeneral election.

Amongrepresentatives attending are manywho have expressed active concernwith problems of student placement. Expect Protest AgainstPostponement by Com¬mittee.The Interfraternity Council willmeet this evening to discuss the I-FCommittee’s action in postponing theInterfraternity Ball without consult¬ing the fraternities. Many of thehouses felt that they would ratherhave the Ball on the traditional dateeven if it meant having a poor or¬chestra.According to John Wiggins, repre¬sentative of Consolidated Radio Art¬ists, the I-F Committee could havehad either Paul Whiteman or Fletch¬er Henderson for Thanksgiving eveif Bob Jones had not signed an exclu¬sive contract with a booking agentnamed Roberts. The contract was soworded that it could easily be mis¬understood to mean that it was en¬tirely up to the Committee to takeor leave the bands he offered.When Consolidated offered theCommittee their choice of Whitemanor Henderson, Jones delayed a dayand then signed a contract for Hen¬derson at $450 with the understand¬ing that if the Committee decided totake Whiteman, the contract wouldbe abrogated. Then, according toWiggins, the first agent, Rot^rts,heard of this. If the Committee tooka band from Consolidated, Robertscould sue for breach of contract.If they took a band from Roberts,Consolidated could sue for breach ofthe Henderson contract. Consolidatedsolved the legal difficulty by releas¬ing the Committee from its contract.But Roberts was still unable to of¬fer any satisfactory band. Since thecontract with Roberts was only forthe 23rd, by changing the date thecontract would be void. After con¬sidering possible dates, they decidedto postpone the ball to January 7,when according to Wiggins, theycould have their choice of a largenumber of good bands.Bob Jones has suggested that inthe future fraternities decide in theSpring quarter how much they werewilling to pay for a band, and thatthe I-F Committee pick its Ball chair¬man at that time so that arrange-(Continued on page 3)Candidate Linn Feted in anOld-Time Torch Light RallyIn the manner of the gaslight andhorsecar days, the torchlight paradeheld last night for Teddy Linn, whois running for the Illinois Legislatureon the Democratic slate, was replete !with slogan signs, oratory, top hats |and flickering brands. After paradingthrough Hyde Park streets, the spec- jtacle culminated with a speech bycandidate Linn in front of his home on56th street.Flippant Signs Describe Teddy“Tippecanoe and Tyler too” was re¬placed on signs which praised Linn byflippant slogans which described himas the “Pride of the Midway”, as“Steady Teddy”, who “Likes Work”,and “Works While You Sleep.” Itwas declared that “He Can 'Think,”that he “Reads and Writes,” and thathe is “Reasonably Honest.”“We’re For Linn” said great ban¬ners carried by Alpha Delta Phibrothers, before whose house theparade started. The other sloganswere inscribed upon “transparencies,”old fashioned box signs which were litby torches of .lard oil and paraffin.Marchers, led by Hans Hoeppner ofthe Information office, who was aboarda black charger, wore red, white and blue oilcloth caps and hat signs.Waldo Dubberstein, Oriental Instituteprofessor, provided oratorical flightsof political fantasy while the march¬ers were assembling. Martin Miller ofJAMES WEBER LINNAlpha Delta Phi was in charge ofstudent participation.After the parade, Linn said it re¬called to him the bygone years whenhe had participated in torchlight ral¬lies and that he still thoroughly en¬joyed the show.Co-op Publishes^^Eaters’ Digest”Friars InterviewJunior ManagersA meeting for all men interestedin working as junior managers on the1939 Blackfriars production will beheld this afternoon at 2:30 in theFriars office on the third floor of theReynolds Club. All men are eligiblewho worked as sophomore managerson the production last year.The deadline for books for thisyear’s show is December 1. AbbotGeorge Fogle reports there are about15 authors at work and he will beglad to talk with an^ others whowould like to write a book. The Eaters’ Digest, a fortnightlypublication of the Ellis Student Club,came out yesterday. Although profes¬sing to be concerned only with theproblems of a co-operative restau¬rant, this mimeographed sheet alsocontains columns sprinkled with bitsof wry humor.Not to be outdone by Pulse’s newcartoons, the Eaters’ Digest has acomic all its own; a cartoon contain¬ing not only humor, but also a pro¬test at the amount of noise whichpermeates the co-op building, andannoys the neighborhood.In the actual business of managinga co-operative restaurant, the EllisStudents’ Club has been very suc¬cessful and has shown a profit.Page Two THE DAILY MAROON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1938^atly^aroonFOUNDED IN 1901MEMBER ASSOCIATED COLLEGIATEPRESSThe Daily Maroon is the official student ^newspaper of the University of ChiraKO,published mornings except Saturday, Sun¬day and Monday during the Autumn,Winter and Spring quarters by The DailyMaroon Company, 68S1 University avenue.Telephones: Hyde Park 9221 and 9222.After 6:30 phone in stories to ourprinters.

No, said Bob Eck-house, former head of the Stu¬dent Social Committee.

A committee run as an activ¬ities hierarchy dominated byfraternities can expect to con¬tinue year after year with anidentical composition. Identicalcomposition can mean only onething, that the purpose and pro¬gram of the committee will notbe changed. For the best inter¬ests of the student body, achange is desirable.A Student Social Committeeworthy of its name, must beable to consider the social needsof the entire campus, and fillin a>i inadequate program totake care of these needs.

Next he cooks his own breakfast,consisting of orange juice, bacon andeggs, toast and milk, in his three roomapartment at 6020 Drexel Avenue.He reads the Tribune, principallybecause his favorite New York Timesarrives in the afternoon, sputtersover his milk because of an invectiveI Carey Orr cartoon, and for the futurej has intentions of reading Milt Can-I iff’s Terry and the Pirates because hewas told of the good looking women.1« « «Ii Rockefeller attends graduate eco-! nomics classes, and frankly admitsj he never has fallen asleep in any ofj his classes. He admires Economicsprofessor Paul Douglas, likes Profes¬sor Chamberlain’s work at Harvard.Usually about one o’clock Rocke¬feller charges into Hutchinson Com¬mons to eat anything for which hehas a yen. In the afternoon, when nolectures interfere, he studies or dic¬tates his thesis over a dictaphone setup in the middle of his study.After dinner, sometimes eaten atInternational House, he usually de¬votes his time to study and readingthe Times and is careful to get abouteight hours sleep.* « «Collecting beetles has been his hob¬by since the tender age of nine. Hisfavorite sports are golf, riding, andtennis, although proficiency in themvaries from day to day.Rockefeller enjoys social life, pre¬fers to waltz, but enjoys listening toswing because he doesn’t dance wellto it. He drinks but doesn’t smoke. Heprefers stage to the cinema, but seesa lot of both. Shakespearean drama ishis favorite. Helen Hayes, John Giel¬gud, Katherine Cornell and CharlesLaughton are all tops to him.Concerning romance, he is particu¬larly shy and reticent and doesn’tcommit himself, although he has datedgirls in both Europe and America.YWCA AppointsFreshman Membersto College CabinetsThe YWCA has recently appointedas freshman members of the CollegeCabinet, Betty B u r d, MarjorieBrown, Margaret Cartwright, La-verne Heger, Phyllis Hauson, EffieLee Morris, Beth Stephens and Mar¬jorie Woodrich members of the Col¬lege Cabinet.

Letters to theEditorBoard of Control,The Daily Maroon:Almost anyone when asked whetheror not animal experimentation isjustified by the alleviation of humansuffering which it makes possible willnod as a matter of course. Yet thereis a bill before the California legis¬lature which would forbid such workand reduce California’s A-1 medicalresearch labs to dusty, ineffectualwhatsits. This bill, thanks to a fana¬tical support by groups who, ironicallyenough, call themselves “humanists”,shows every likelihood of beingpassed.The Movement is not localized inCalifornia, but includes a very activegroup here in the city of Chicago.They send profusely illustrated lit¬erature which drips wjth slushysentimentality and reeks with ab¬surdities. The appeal obviously is topeople who prefer to have othersthink for them; to people whose votestoo often determine issues. A law inIllinois similar to that imminent inCalifornia would cripple seriously thelabs of U. of C.’s Biological Sciences.Past and current issues of TheCountry Gentleman include articles,written by Paul de Kruif, which re¬cord the indispensable help animalshave given to the increasing of man’sknowledge. This series, entitled Menof Mercy, brought an immediate bliz¬zard of condemnatory letters andtelegrams which almost caused theeditors to discontinue it. They wentahead with the articles when theywere more or less assured that theprotests represented the opinions ofonly the militant “anti-s”. A few in¬telligent sentences, scribbled on theback of a postcard and sent toPhiladelphia, would take liltle time towrite and would do a great deal toconvince the undecided editors thatpeople do want to hear about the menwho have done so much to comfortand cure the sick.Bill Sheeley.The Board of Control,The Daily Maroon:As no one seems to want to take theblame for your stupid article andeditorial, I shall have to address thisto the Board of Control as a whole.As a member of the freshmancoaching staff, I am as much to blamefor any dissatisfaction on the part ofthe freshmen regarding their footbellequipment as Mr. Norgren and a lotmore to blame than Mr. Metcalf,who has had no contact with thefreshman football players at all; andto date I do not feel that I am toblame at all. Had any one of thoseboys who were dissatisfied with hisequipment come to me or to any othermember of the freshman coachingstaff, we would have seen to it thathe received the proper equipment.To say that there is an attempt toeconomize by passing out poor equip¬ment to the freshman football play¬ers is absurd. Any one of the boysthat is on the freshman footballsquad has a perfect right to complainabout equipment that is imperfect,and many have. Those that have, weregiven the right equipment.I suggest that in the future yourreporters investigate any such rumorsa little more thoroughly beforesingling out any one man or any onefact to blame for a situation such asthis.Tom Flinn.Bull Session—(Continued from page 1)the board—what, I couldn’t say. TheRepublican peace policy is isolation¬ist. Probably most conservatives onthis campus arc isolationists, althougha conservative majority favored col¬lective security at a Political Unionmeeting last year.We are united on one more broadplank. We hate communism and wehate fascism, but we also hate anycentralization of power that will en¬danger the rights of the exponents ofeither, or that will endanger therights of any minority. We cherish oursystem of checks and balances. Wedon’t want anyone to tamper with theSupreme Court, and we don’t want tosee Congress delegate any morepower.Everything is subordinate to ourprimary aim, which is to stop Roose¬velt. We will vote this fall for Con¬gressmen who will say “No.”Heil Lyons! The Travelling BazaarThe analogy between the Chicagofootball squad and the band after Sat¬urday’s game is suddenly obvious.The same tactics are the property ofthem both—a sort of brighteyed clev¬erness and cheery originality whichmust fill up the gap left by bruteforce. They, together with Brer Fox,stand gayly symbolic of the typicalChicago collegiate who can’t be sub¬sidized and thus is forced to enjoy lifefor its own self.The band is a Bohemian bunch. Itboasts 86 pieces in contrast to the av¬erage 160 to 300 of other schools whocan draw endlessly from a source ofROTC recruits. Chicago can afford on¬ly one trip a year. This year, to thetune of $800, it journeyed to OhioState where the week-end was a wildone. (The hooting section spent thenight in the bar car in a jam session,were utterly incapacitated for thenext day’s program. The curious ele¬ment ambled over to the state legisla¬ture after closing hours to peek at thesenate.)The idea of a girl drum major wasviolently voted down by this unique crew several years ago. The onlyflashy number in band history wasDave Eisendrath who madly twirleda baton for one Illinois game, thensuddenly disappeared forever fromI twirling circles for reasons unknown.I Hilmar Luckhardt, however, isPride and Joy number 1 of the outfitj through virtue of being with the or-i ganization for 11 years (he started inU. High), a first class piccolo player,and author of a snappy version ofj the Alma Mater. Biggest troublej maker is Big Bertha who has to be! handled with loving care since a heftyI pound results in reverberations whichI throws the band entirely out of rhy-j thm. In addition, caution must beI taken with her precious hide, sinceI a steer hide big enough for her skinj can be found only once in severali hundred moons, witness stock yardstatistics.Happiest band period of all theyear, however, comes when footballseason is over and “We can settledown to playing some really goodmusic” as said a tuba player with ahopeful glint in his eye.This Week We Are FeaturingTRIANGLEBOOKS39cHere ore just a iew oi the many titlesSteinbeck — OF MICE AND MENNordhoif and Hall ~ HURRICANEBuck — EXILEDos Possos — BIG MONEYCoin ~ THE POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICERinehart — TISHBenchley — TREASURER'S REPORTKipling — THE UGHT THAT FAILEDDoyle — TALES OF SHERLOCK HOLMESU. of C.

NOVEMBER 2, 1938 Page ThreeToday'sRoundtableBy RICHARD MASSELLSeated around our mythical round-table this week are Walter H. C.Lares, associate professor of PoliticalScience, Maynard Krueger, assistantprofessor of Economics, and PaulPonqlas, professor of Economics andadviser to the present administrationin Washington, D. C.The topic for discussion, is ‘'Howran we preserve democracy in theVnited States?"WALTER LAVES: There are, ofcourse, a great many conditions es¬sential to preserving democracy inthe U. S. Certainly, security and tol¬erance are among those conditions.The democratic process cannot oper¬ate effectively in a climate of inse¬curity or intolerance. Consequently,to preserve democracy in the U. S.,we must take positive steps to in¬crease the sense of security of the.American people. We must insist thatthe .solution of public problems shalltake place by orderly processes in¬cluding discussion, analysis, concilia¬tion, and law.Our efforts to bring about greatersecurity and greater tolerance mustfocus not upon domestic affairs alone.There must be equal vigilance in theconduct of international affairs lestinternational insecurity, violence, ha¬tred, and intolerance jeopardize ourdomestic institutions^ The peace of.Munich is of extraordinary impor¬tance to us because of its direct chal¬lenge to the essentials of democraticgovernment. Unless we are able towithstand the pressure of externalaggression and intolerance, we can¬not hope to maintain our domestic,democratic institutions.* * «MAYNARD KRUEGER: I main¬tain there isn’t enough democracy inour system to stand alone; we shallhave to get more or we shall not haveany.In answer to the vigilance to ex¬ternal aggression that Laves has pro¬posed, I would say democracy can’tstand war and, furthermore, it can’tthrive in an atmosphere of anticipa¬tion of war, whether it is for aggres¬sion or against it. Likewise it can’tstand unemployment. The UnitedStates is now going in foD an arma¬ments economy, partly to give peoplework and partly to protect, imperialis¬tic interests in South and CentralAmerica and in the Far East.If we want to .save what democracywe have, it must be extended fromthe political into the economic sphereto permit an attack upon unemploy¬ment and make possible again the ris¬ing standard of living without whichpeople just won’t stay democratic.This means the abandonment of the•system of private ownership of thekind of property upon which otherpeople are dependent for their jobs.And we should stop howling aboutimperial hijackers or aggressors longenough to remember that while im¬perialism is maintained at all, thereis no peace and little democracy. Theprice of democracy is the suri’enderof both capitalism and imperialism.* « «PAUL DOUGLAS: Of course Idon’t agree with Krueger when he•says we should stop howling aboutaggressors. In fact I would say justthe opposite; if we want to preservedemocracy, we should stop the nextattempt at aggression by the fascistpowers. I think what Krueger saysabout the threat of unemployment isimportant; democracy is insecurewhen vast numbers of unemployedwalk the streets. There are two otherpoints which should be repeated; wemust strive to preserve civil libertiesand to oppose religious or racial prej¬udice.

In this way, the ques¬tionnaire is expected to reach abouti half of the undergraduate body.I Que.stions Cover Newsreel, MusicI The questionnaire will cover not only; the relative merits of the variousI types of music, symphonic and swing,I but also other pertinent questions: concerning the Newsreel’s program.; It will contain queries on what typej of motion pictures the students wantrevived and even a special section on: student’s reaction to advertising ac-! tivities around the campus, especial-i ly those used recently by the Dramatici Association in advertising its play.The primary aim behind the surveyis to .secure directly from the stu¬dents their idea on the type of musicand motion pictures which they desire.The half-hour music period will be a ‘weekly feature to be run with eachrevival. Blind Organist Marchal LikesSwift Pace of American Life“I like the pace of life here inAmerica; it is faster, yet I am sur¬prised to find the people here lessnervous.” So spoke Andre Marchal,the noted blind organist who gave arecital in Rockefeller Chapel lastTuesday.Marchal likes the organ in theChapel very much, especially its richand sonorous tone, although it is verydifferent from his own organ at SaintGermain des Pres, in Paris, which issmaller and more intimate. Organs,he believes, should be built so as topossess the qualities of the 18th cen¬tury instruments.Marchal pointed out that duringthe 19th century organs were made tosound as much like an orchestra aspossible. This he contends is wrong,for the organ should have a qualityall its own. For this reason he dis¬approves both of orchestral transcrip¬tions of organ music, and of organtranscriptions of orchestral music.Learns Music by BrailleMarchal learns music by the Braillesystem. “All I do is read a pieceonce,” he said, “and I have it learned.”Much music has been published inCampus CongressDiscusses SocialCommittee PlansPlans carried over from last year’sCampus Congress to broaden the baseof the Student Social Committee willbe discussed by the Congress com¬mittee Thursday.The plan proposes a new organiza¬tion calle<l the Federated Social Com¬mittee substituted for the presentcommittee. Each campus organiza¬tion would send one delegate so asto give greater campus representa¬tion and participation than at pres¬ent. A small executive committee tobe elected either by the delegates orappointed by the Dean’s office wouldact as executive. The student SocialCommittee this year is doing morework than it has for some time andthe proposers of the new plan do notmean it as an attack on that groupbut rather as a democratization.Such a plan was endorsed by theCampus Congress last year. Themeeting is in Cobb 309 at 3:30Thursday.I-F Council(Continued from page 1)ments could be made in advance.The Clubs are rather displeased athaving the Ball moved into the samequarter as the Interclub Ball andare considering having Interclub inthe fall quarter.

This will be done torelieve the more active members oftheir heavy burden of work. The dayof meeting is also being changedfrom Monday to Tuesday or Wednes¬day to attract people who have notbeen able to attend the Monday meet¬ing's. The weekly classes on Fridayand Sunday evenings will continue asusual.Bulletin To Be PublishedAnother club reform is a biweeklybulletin, published between meetings,to offset the disturbance caused bythe distribution of announcementsduring meetings.Because the feeling exists thatcommittee co-operation is lacking, theclub is going to try to bring aboutco-operation among the committees.For instance, the literature commit¬tee will co-operate with the educa¬tional committee in its work.Forms Social CommitteeThe Communist Club has alsoformed a social committee to planinformal social affairs. The clubfeels that if it has parties everyweek at some member’s home and abig monthly party on the campus,with the use of campus facilities, itmay attract some new members.Through this reorganization, andthrough a membership drive the clubhopes to meet by December 9 thequota of 50 new members that it hasset for itself.JudgeHellerREPUBLICANNOMINEEHelp Re-ElectAnAlumnusJUDGE SAMUEL HELLERReceived his Ph.B. at the Uni¬versity of Chicago in 1913 andhis M.A. in 1931.He received his Low degreeat Northwestern UniversityLaw School.He is up for Re-election osfudge of Municipal Court on:TUESDAY.

Bookstore RevealsSuccess ofBook ExchangeThe University Bookstore an¬nounces the continuation of the BookExchange, a service for students whowish to sell used texts. The Book Ex¬change was run last year with agreat deal of success'and the Book¬store finds that it is a profitableenterprise for both the student andthe Book Exchange.The service is run on a ten per¬cent commission basis. The studentsets his own price for the book andit is placed on the Bookstore shelvesuntil it is sold. However, there is noguarantee that the text will be sold,but if it is not, there will be nocharge made.Complete information of the termsof the contract can be obtained at theBookstore by anyone who wishes tosell books, or by those who wish topurchase texts from the Book Ex¬change.First of Four ‘‘Opera Hours^Directed by Hoeppner Is SuccessfulA series of four “Opera Hours,”the brainchild of H. O. Hoeppner,ubiquitous head of the Universitywas successfully launched yesterdayat 3:30 in the lounges of the Rey¬nolds Club. Conceived “as an infor¬mal contribution to the cultural edu¬cation of students of the University,”the program yesterday was well-planned and w;ent off without ahitch.After a brief introduction by Hoep¬pner, Howard Tally of the Music de¬partment delivered an informal talkon origins of the opera and then de¬voted himself to a description ofWagner’s opera, “Die Meistersinger.”His remarks were punctuated bysnatches of the various themes on theReynolds Club grand piano. His talkwas interesting and instructive,though slightly on the coy side.Tally Also SingsTally also burst into song on oc¬casion, his rendition of “To be, ornot to be” as an illustration of therecitative being particularly fetching.He closed his remarks with a timelyquitation from the last act of “DieMeistersinger”: “As long as GermanArt holds true to itself, Germany willendure.”Following the prevue, (as Tally’sremarks were programmed) the size¬able audience adjourned to the oppo¬ site lounge to hear recordings fromthe opera discussed, to meet theguests from the Chicago City Operacompany, and to drink tea.The functions are presented withthe co-operation of the Reynolds Clubcouncil, as a part of their programof social events to be held in the Rey¬nolds Club.A tribute to the driving efficiencyof “Hoepp,” the Opera Hours shouldappeal to musically minded students,and can really be a vital force inrounding out the education of thosewho haven’t found the time in thepast to learn about the singing stage.If you are interested, you will profitfrom the “Opera Hours.”CompMs SecretarialStsnography . . . 6 months4 months^ Free placement and Vocational^ Analyei* Report to graduate*.^ A modern thorthand syetem —^ more efficient-easily mastered.^ Start Monday —Day or Evening.^ Visit, phone, or write today:Don't be a WOODEN IndianRead theDAILY MAROON3c per CopyPage Four THE DAILY MAROON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1938Issue New Helmets to FreshmanSquad Following InvestigationShoulder and Hip PadsAlso Checked; No Com¬plaints Heard.Several members of the freshmanfootball squad were wearing newhelmets yesterday following an in¬spection of their equipment by mem¬bers of the athletic department.

In their eagerattempts to streng^then passing at¬tack and improve defense, they show¬ed super-human strength and occa¬sionally heaved the ball over thefence that guards the President’sdomain.It’s Hounds vs. MaroonsQuick as a flash the three Hutch-in’s canines pounced upon it andmade desperate efforts to rend theI-M equipment to shreds. Only bythe quick thinking and the typicalcourageous actions of the Maroonstaff was the ball saved from thedripping jaws of the savage beasts.With usual Maroon bravado, a re¬porter boldly knocked on the door ofthe Hutchins mansion and persuadedthe servant to retrieve the ball. Onthe other occasions, however, dis¬daining to accept the aid of a merewoman a staff member lightly leapedthe fence, braved the attacks of thethree dogs and at great risk of lifeand limb rescued the pigskin.We think the dogs have been paidoff by the Pulse staff. Pulse hasprobably promised a hot dog to eachcanine if the Maroon staff can bekept from practicing for Friday’sbattle.NOTICEAn open radio audition for anyoneinterested in reading the morninglesson in the University Chapel willbe held tomorrow afternoon at 3:30in the University Chapel. Maroon FootballSquad Plans forHarvard GameMort Goodstein Out ofLineup Due to Leg In-jury.The Maroon football squad, heart¬ened by their overwhelming victoryover DePauw, and looking forwardhopefully to their tilt against HarvardSaturday, had their picture taken andthen went through a stiff workoutyesterday. Main discouraging notewas the absence of Mort Goodsteinfrom the Chicago lineup. He injuredhis leg against the Tigers, and teamtrainer Wally Bach is pessimisticabout his chances of starting againstthe Crimson.Shaughnessy was pleased with theperformance of his squad against De¬Pauw, and planned to start againstHarvard the same lineup that rodeover the Tigers. He was especially de¬lighted with the playing of SophomoreCarl Nohl, and stated his regrets thatNohl hadn’t played on the team inearlier games.Leave Campus ThursdayThe footballers will leave the Quad¬rangles Thursday afternoon at 2:40and will board the New York Centralat 3 05. They will arrive in BostonFriday at 11 A.M. and will stay atthe Hotel Statler.After absorbing some of Boston’shistory Sunday when they will begiven a sightseeing tour of the Cam¬bridge region, they will leave theEast Sunday evening at 8 and willreturn to Chicago Monday afternoon.Definite announcement has not yetbeen made that a cheer-leader willaccompany the team, but it is ex¬pected that Johnny Van de Water willgo along to lend moral support to the jMaroons.

Z-149 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1938 Price Three Cents(Today’s Session presents theradical stand in the fortheoming elec¬tions-)More than ever since the Civil War,America must make a choice today.With the prevailing world economiccrises and with national and interna¬tional Fascism threatening to set theclock back hundreds of years, straightthinking and action are necessary —lest oven that democracy we haveshould be destroyed.It is true that the policies of theXew Ileal represent the hopes andispirations of that majority whom wecall the “people”: workers, farmers,and middle class groups. There is areason for this: President Hutchinsposed the question thus:“With a superfluity of goods we aresinking into poverty. With a multi¬tude of gadgets we are no happierthan we were before. With a decliningdeath rate we have yet to discoverwhat to do with our lives. With ahatred «f war we are heading in¬evitably toward it. With a love ofliberty we see much of the world inchains."The reason for the New Deal, theanswer to this question, is the popularmovement to make government re¬sponsive to the needs and problems ofthe citizens. As it stands today thesecond New Deal has alienated thatgroup whom it is possible to stereo¬type as “Wall Street.” Thi.s aliena¬tion occurred precisely because theRoosevelt regime has increasinglyanswered the needs of the greatersecurity. To do this the New Deal wasfaced with the problem which is thecrux of all our contemporary ills; ifwe arc to really help the people, wemust step on the toes of the monopolyand ruling class dominance.• * •The implications of these policieswere understood and noised aroundby reactionaries generally. But theirrebuttal is to confuse the issue andconfound the public. Our press, as anorgan of reaction, has responded 85per cent strong with blasts about“Communism” and “Dictatorship.”The reactionaries within the Dem¬ocratic Party first began to snipe atthe New Deal program while givingit lip service; today they stand intheir true colors moving toward openalliance with Republicans.The elections of ’38 and *40 hold <the fate of democracy in America. INew' Dealism in politics has reacted jmore and more to the problems of to¬day. The movement has increased asthe progre.ssive Democratic wing be¬came the target of reaction outsideand of its own traitors within. Butpolitical differentiation has been astep necessitated by the logic ofevents. Today it stands to survive andfight on because the level of politicalawareness is higher at present thanever before. The CIO and A. F. of L.have co-operated before to defeat re¬action. The rank and file can be ex¬pected to work for unity on thepolitical front.In New York there is a progressiveAmerican Labor Party, in the middle''est, the Minnesota Farmer-Labor-ites and Wisconsin Progressives workfor a better government. In the farwest the Washington CommonwealthFederation has led the fight to defeatKepublican onslaughts. In the “solidsouth" a new and militant movementis on foot to unite the Negroes andthe whites around a common progres¬sive program—witness the fact thatthe New Deal has polled more votesfor a progressive stand than anyliberal group before. These manifesta¬tions of political initiative along withthe general mass sentiment that theNow Deal helps “us” mean that thechances of crushing the camps of re¬action and incipient American Fascismare definitely here. What is essentialis greater and greater unity. A frontof democracy must be built againstthose who would destroy the tradeunions, squelch civil rights, cutwages, throttle our sister democracyof Mexico, and tear down our tradi¬tional government in the name of pri¬vate property and monopoly rights.This struggle to defeat reaction hasthe fullest support from sincereAmerican radicalism. The electionslogan “Progress versus Reaction” weadd our belief that we may only makestrides toward Socialism by ever wid-ening political and economic democ¬racy. Students toElect King ofHomecomingWilf Accept Post atBonfire Rally BeforePacific Game.On November 9, University womenwill elect a Homecoming King fromamong a list of nominees, who willpreside over the Homecoming Cele¬bration supported by a Queen andRoyal Court. Elevation of Joe Col¬lege to the rank of King representsa notable departure from the prac¬tices of former festivals.Jean Petersen has already beenchosen queen. Nominees for thethrone, as announced by ClementineVan der Schaegh, include the Mur¬phy twins. Bill and Chet, who willrun together; Hugh Campbell; BudLinden; Max Freeman and JamesGoldsmith. The king will accept thethrone at the bonfire rally Fridayevening, November 11.Homecoming DanceAll fraternities will be representedin the pep-rally. Following the bon¬fire the students will parade, carry¬ing torches, to the annual Homecom¬ing Dance, sponsored by Iron Mask.Jack Chapman and his orchestra willplay at the affair.In support of the King and Queenwill be the Royal Court, which willbe composed of ten girls, to be select¬ed by Iron Mask.Another innovation, announced bythe Homecoming Committee, will bethe competition of the men’s and wo¬men’s dormitories with the frater¬nities for the cup awarded the mostingenious house decorations.

Each cam¬pus organization would send one dele¬gate so as to give greater studentrepresentation and participation thanat present. A small executive com¬mittee to be either elected by the dele¬gates or appointed by the Dean’s of¬fice would do the work.Approve Social Committee’s WorkThe proponents of the new planfeel that the Social Committee hasdone more this year than has beendone for a long time, and they domean it as an attack on that group,but merely as a move to make thecommittee more democratic and re¬move it from the sphere of fraternitypolitics.Adele Rose of the Daily MaroonBoard of Control will be one of thosedefending the change at the Congresstoday. Bill Webbe of the present Stu¬dent Social Committee and HaroldMiles, head of the Reynolds ClubCouncil, are expected to oppose it.Attend Conferenceon Social WelfareEdith Abbott, dean of the SocialService School, S.

Student Newspaper Poll Shows SlightDifference in Chicago and Northwestern WomenAlumni MagazineComes Out TodayThe November issue of the AlumniMagazine contains an article by Wil¬liam Rainey Harper, “The CollegePresident,” which discusses the trialsand problems of the college president.The article was discovered by Presi¬dent Harper’s son and was publishedat the WilRam Rainey Harper Me¬morial Conference in connection withthe Centennial of Muskingum College.Among the other articles is one byMilton S.

An at¬titude of discouragement, which hethinks the result of dislike for change,has arisen out of increasing depen¬dence of the individual on societyalong with the inability of society tomeet this need. Thus, the belief thatwe are indeed a lost generation* isseldom questioned.Inquiring into the art of poetry,MacLeish examined its unconsciousmethods, its assumptions, its manner,and its unintentional revelations tosee what light they could throw on theidea of loss of faith.The notion of absolute perfectionhe found a delusion. “A work of art isby definition a work of sense,” hedeclared, “since it uses the materialsof sense. It must exist in the poet’sown time, and in space.” It is charac¬teristic of poetry, he believes, to in¬terpret experience in terms of whatis common to the poet’s times.Open Display ofMacLeish WorksA display of manuscripts and firsteditions of works by Archibald Mac¬Leish opened in the Harriet Monroelibrary of modern poetry on the sec¬ond floor of Wieboldt last night afterMacLeish’s lecture in Mandel hall.Arranged in chronological order,the exhibit includes photographs tak¬en at rehearsals of the poet’s twoplays for performance on the radio:“The Fall of the City” and “AirRaid.” MacLeish, who attended thedisplay, was particularly interestedin a recording of “Air Raid” lent bythe Columbia Broadcasting System.Study Collef!;eCooperative PlanThe executive committee studyingthe College Cooperative Plan willmeet here this month to decide whichschools it will ask to participate ina cooperative examining staff forcollegek too small to have boards oftheir own. The committee is a partof the American Council on Educa¬tion. George A. Works, dean of stu¬dents and head examiner, is chair¬man, while Ralph W. Tyler, chair¬man of the Department of Educationand chief examiner of the Board ofExaminations, will select and directthe staff. Stating that poetry is a literallytruthful representation of the exper¬iences of modern life, MacLeish wenton to say that the poet must look atthe world of sensation; he must studythe common world as it actually is.Thus he must present faithfully ex¬perience of which he has true under¬standing. This understanding, Mac¬Leish said, can be acquired by thepoet only when he lives, acts, watches,participates, and feels for himself. Inthis way, his duty becomes one moreof elucidation than of invention.But if the poet must experiencethings for himself, then he must ac¬cept the meaning of existence of theworld. “Contemporary poetry restson this assumption,” MacLeish de¬clared; although it may sometimes at¬tack or satirize the world of exper¬ience and appearance, it always as¬sumes its significance and meaning.”Modern Poetry HopefulContrasting present day poetrywith that written during the declineof Roman civilization, he pointed outthe differences. Roman poetry of thedecline showed a deep pessimism andlack of faith in this world, whereascontemporary poetry directs its spirittoward hope and not toward fear anddoubt. “It has faith that salvation ispossible here on the earth and notelsewhere.”Maroon^ ElectionCommittees ConductPoll TodayIn an effort to ascertain studentopinion on current political issuesthe Daily Maroon, in co-operationwith the Student Non-Partisan Elec¬tion Committee is issuing a question¬naire today.Questions, aside from general in¬formation about the student, will beon both national and local problems.Sample questions are: “Do youapprove of the principles o fthe New Deal?” “Do you supportfederal aid to the unemployed; shouldit be increased or decreased?” “Doyou support governmental spendingand an unbalanced budget in time ofdepression?” “Do you favor govern¬ment subsidies to farmers?”Other questions will inquire as tothe knowledge the student has onlocal politics, such as, “How manyU. of C. professors can you namewho have been or are running for of¬fice in the election?”DA Continues Tryoutsfor Newcomers TodayTryouts for Dramatic Associa¬tion’s Newcomers’ Bill will continuetoday in the Tower Room from 1:30to 4:30. Freshmen and transfers areespecially invited to be present. Stu¬dents interested in working on thebusiness staff of DA will also be in¬terviewed at this time. North westerners NotGiddy; Chicagoans NotGrinds.The differences between Northwest¬ern and University women, judgingfrom the above table, are so slight asto offer a temptation to pronouncethe platitude: “Women will be women,and that’s that.”Although the two newspapers, theNorthwestern Daily and the DailyMaroon, who sponsored the survey,cannot claim complete accuracy, theybelieve their percentages to be cor¬rect enough to decide that the fre¬quently-heard statement that Univer¬sity of Chicago women are dulldrudges, and Northwestern womenare giddy butterflies, has no basis.Thirty-one per cent more Universitywomen declared themselves to beseeking a career, while 12 per centmore Northwestern women desiredmarriage. The most popular fields atNorthwestern are education, speech,journalism, and social service work.At the University, psychology, eco¬nomics, biochemistry, and social serv¬ice work appear highly desirable,with international relations, medicine,law, anthropology, interior decora¬ting, advertising, surgery, business,languages, and costuming and setdesigning for the theater vying foradherents.Several women added commentsabout the first question, such as “Whycan’t I combine a career with mar¬riage?” or “I would like to get mar¬ried, but all I can do is hope,” and“Eventually I would like to marry,but I must be given the proper incen¬tive.” Rebuking the questionnaire forits facetious “are you interested inraising lots of little ones and stuff,”the woman who placed a large “yes”next to it, in parenthesis wrote,“Don’t belittle the great institutionof marriage.”University women unanimouslyagreed that they came to college tostudy, while 72 per cent at North¬western claimed it was the decisivefactor.

On the first motionto have the dance on Nov. 23, thehouses voted seven to six in its favor.Since this was not a sufficient ma¬jority to pass the motion, it wasmoved that the Ball be held in theAutumn quarter. This was carried bya vote of nine to four. Then sincethe seventh was entirely eliminated,most of the houses that had votedagainst the motion before now votedto have it on Thanksgiving everather than have it on the only otherpossible dates, December 2 or 3.The Committee was empowered toget the best band and the best roomthat it could, with a maximum priceper bid of $3.60. The nearness of Jan¬uary 7 to New Year’s seemed to bethe Greeks’ chief objection to thenew date.The only other business discussedwas some of the details of the Com¬mittee’s research into the causes ofwhy freshmen do or do not join fra¬ternities. The idea behind having thefraternities turn in the names offreshmen attending their rushingfunctions is that after this informa¬tion has been compiled, the Commit¬tee will approach freshmen who didn’tattend func«. and ask them whynot.

Hutchins^ HowlingHounds MaulMaroon MaraudersPresident Hutchins and his dogsare ganging up on the Daily Ma¬roon! He has instructed his dogs tothwart student attempts at self-ex¬pression !Members of his “personal organ’’were in the Lexington Hall parkingspace busy practicing for their all-important touchball battle againstPulse Pansies Friday. In their eagerattempts to strengthen passing at¬tack and improve defense, they show¬ed super-human strength and occa¬sionally heaved the ball over thefence that guards the President’sdomain.It’s Hounds vs. MaroonsQuick as a flash the three Hutch-in’s canines pounced upon it andmade desperate efforts to rend theI-M equipment to shreds. Only bythe quick thinking and the typicalcourageous actions of the Maroonstaff was the ball saved from thedripping jaws of the savage beasts.With usual Maroon bravado, a re¬porter boldly knocked on the door ofthe Hutchins mansion and persuadedthe servant to retrieve the ball. Onthe other occasions, however, dis¬daining to accept the aid of a merewoman a staff member lightly leapedthe fence, braved the attacks of thethree dogs and at great risk of lifeand limb rescued the pigskin.We think the dogs have been paidoff by the Pulse staff. Pulse hasprobably promised a hot dog to eachcanine if the Maroon staff can bekept from practicing for Friday’sbattle.NOTICEAn open radio audition for anyoneinterested in reading the morninglesson in the University Chapel willbe held tomorrow afternoon at 3:30in the University Chapel.
