He willbring along his trumpeter, JonahJones, to blast the swing fans andrefugee-minded Midwayites out oftheir seats.The pattern around which the pro¬gram will be built is a depiction ofthe evolution of negro music fromits most elementary and undisciplinedstage to the present highly-devel¬oped swing music.

New Maroon ChiefLAURA BERGQUIST. .replaces Emmett Deadman asBoard of Control ChairmanNYA ChiefSpeaks BeforeCongress Unit“American youth of today has asmuch opportunity and assistance asthey have always had,” said AubreyWilliams, national director of theNYA, at the first Campus Congressmeeting of the quarter. “However,one of the biggest* problems still re¬mains to make our economy fit theneeds of all the people,” he statedfurther.Introduced by Professor Kerwin asthe source of answers to the prob¬lems of youth, Williams spoke yes¬terday before 30 people in SocialScience 107. He told his audiencecomposed for the most part of So¬cial Science students that never be¬fore has so much money been spenton education outlets for occupationalinterest. One* of the main problemsconfronting modern youth is to elim¬inate the “blind alley” jobs in whichapproximately one-fourth of ouryouth are employed.Question SessionSpeaking for only one-half of thetime allotted for the meeting, theremainder of the session was devotedto questions, first by the studentsand then by Aubrey Williams.He said that he considered theproblems of apprenticeship one of themost important facing the Americaat the present. However, he thoughtthat Labor and industry would haveto be reconciled to the idea before itcould possibly become successful.In answer to Williams’ question onwhat the students thought the mostsignificant thing taking place inAmercia at the present, there werea wide variety of answers. Most ofthe replies dealt with the great socialprogress of the past few years, inlabor, and youth problems for themost part.

RubinsBachelor ofNon-SpecificationAt the end of the student’ssecond year in the Universityhe is required to decide whatdepartment he is going to ma¬jor in. Many students, of course,have already made that deci¬sion or had it made for them,and are faced with no problem.A large number, however, notbeing strongly interested in anyparticular subject, are forced toanswer repeated questions con¬cerning their prospective aca¬demic and vocational careerswdth an “I haven’t decided yet,”which grows more exasperatingwith each repetition.The student usually solves theproblem at the beginning of hisjunior year by registering in oneof the “snap departments orschools such as Political Science,Business, Art or Home Econom¬ics, or by following his friendsinto the field of their interest.The result is that he spendsmost of his time during thenext two years taking requiredcourses in which he may havelittle interest and which may beof no value to him. He acquires,if he is a good student, a toler¬able acquaintance with the dataand techniques of one particularfield and a smattering of knowl¬edge in a few others.♦ ♦ ♦Let’s see . . . what was it thatPresident Hutchins declared thepurpose of higher education tobe?. . .something about train¬ing students to think correctlyand giving them a general back¬ground of knowledge, wasn’t it?No one knows better than thePresident that this ideal is veryimperfectly realized in the Uni¬versity today—either as re¬gards those students who entera certain field merely to learnan occupation or those who doso because they desire a bache¬lor’s degree.And what about those fewstudents who do want to learnto “think” and to acquire agood general education, but are ialso faced with the necessity of |securing a degree, either as a'password to a job later or tc imeet parental demands ? Ironi-1cally, there is no place for them!in the University today—they Iwho almost alone of Univer¬sity students, try to realizePresident Hutchins’ ideal. i* * *The solution has been sug¬gested before but will bear re¬peating. Students who do not |wish to major in any particular jdepartment should be given a |bachelor’s degree of “Non-Spe¬cialization” after meeting theCollege reqirements and then completing any 18 courses onthe divisional or graduate level.They will then be able to takecourses that interest them andare of value to them, instead ofbeing forced to concentrate one-half to two-thirds of their workin one field. A student who hada general interest in economics,for instance, could take thethree or four courses that hedesired without having to wastehis time taking such subjectsas accounting and statistics,which are of value only to thespecialist, and five 201 courses.This is not in any way a pleafor the free-elective system ora criticism of President Hut¬chins’ view that all studentsshould be required to take cer¬tain courses. Students underthis plan would still have totake the College surveys, andthose who wished to majorin particular departments orschools would still have to fol¬low prescribed programs. Butstudents who wished to learn tothink intelligently in more thanone or two fields, who felt thata happy life requires a goodgeneral education more than adetailed knowledge of one sub¬ject-matter, who desired con¬tacts with stimulating profes-fors regardless of what depart¬ment they happen to be in, whowished to know the problemsthat man is trying to solve inall fields of study—such stu¬dents would not be preventedfrom doing so by the necessityof getting a degree.

The peak of the weekend undoubt¬edly came on Friday evening at In¬ter-Club Ball.

Laboratory of Geology—The Great Out-of-DoorsBy MARIAN GERSONStar gazing is a popular past-timeand one of the essentials in study¬ing astronomy, but for a geologist tohave his head in the clouds, is voca¬tional suicide. Physicists and chem¬ists stare for long hours into mi¬croscopes and test-tubes. The geolo¬gist’s laboratory is the out-of-doors.His is the predicament of Moham¬med who had to go the mountain.Thus the field trip is a necessaryand valuable part of any geologycourse, and thus, all geologists in¬clude field trips in their programswhenever possible.Field trips in the geology depart¬ment are divided into excursions forthe college sequences, those for peo¬ple in the divisions and others doinggraduate work, and those which in¬clude the whole department. In thefall, trips for students in the collegeinclude expeditions to the dunes, toPalos Park, and to the region aroundElgin. Since the ground is frozen inthe winter, no examination can bemade of rocks and rock structure,but the college students go to thesteel mills in order to see what hap¬pens to the ores, the coal, and othermaterials they have studied in thefield. In the spring, they examine theglacial features of the Chicago areaand in May go to Starved Rock wherethey spend two days studying thecomplete sequence of rocks, collect¬ing fossils. This trip is a practicalreview of the whole year’s work.Trips Through CavesMore informal field trips are en¬joyed by the students in the divisionsand graduate students. For example,they may go with Professor Bretz toexplore caves, or with ProfessorsKrumbein and Pettijohn to studysedimentary rocks, or with ProfessorCroneis to collect fossils.There are two main field trips inwhich the whole department mayparticipate. In the fall, there is athree or four day trip within a radiusof 500 miles in conjunction withgeologists in Wisconsin, Iowa, andothers in Illinois. Rippy DiscussesIsolation in BookOn Foreign PolicyJ. Fred Rippy, professor of Amer¬ican History, traces in some detailthe foreign policy of the UnitedStates from the time of Washingtonthrough Wilson to the present withspecial emphasis on the repeated ef¬forts for isolation in his latest book,“America and the Strife of Europe”published recently by the University ^Press.Traces HistoryReminding the reader of the ra¬tional but vain argument for isolationgiven in the House of Representativesby Claude Kitchin in 1917, Riiijiyconcludes that “men with ideals fol¬low messiahs, men w’ith vested inter¬ests will follow them too, especiallywhen interests and ideals converge.”This, he says, is the plight of theisolationist.Rippy feels that according tospeeches made by the President andthe Secretary of State in 19.38 thiscountry is on the same path that itwas on preceding its entrance intothe World War.Rippy is also author of “The Unit¬ed States and Mexico, Latin Amer¬ica in World Politics,’’ “HistoricEvolution of Hispanic America,” and“American Policies Abroad: Mexico.”4 MONTH INTENSIVE COURSEroi COlieCE STUDENTS AND GEAOUATESA tkomngh, tstiesutee. slemogrephit course—timrtimg Jornmore I, April 1, Juh 1, October I.Irstomting Booklet tent free, mitkomt obligation— terite or phono.

The Chicago Women’s Aidgroup has a class in local govern¬ment led by a University studentwhile requests have also poured infrom church groups, WPA classes,and civic forums.The most unusual request cameduring the recent European crisisin the form of a telegram from atown in Indiana. Unfortunately, how’-ever, no authority on the foreign sub¬ject was available at the moment.Approximately 110 graduate stud¬ents in the Political Science depart¬ment are registered with the Speak¬er’s Bureau. The subjects most fre¬quently discussed include politics, in¬ternational relations, the city man¬ager plan, and government in gener¬al. Today on theQuadranglesWAA Meeting.

FEBRUARY 7, 1939Gradual Assimilation IsLouis Wirth’s Answer to JewsLouis Wirth, Associate Professorof Sociology, author of “The Ghetto’’is interviewed today on the question“What will be the future of theJews?’’ by Maroon Reporter, RichardMassell.To the extent that the cultural at¬mosphere of the Western World willbe liberal-democratic—and by that Imean a culture that emphasizes thevalues of human personality—theJews will gradually disappear as adistinct group as they were on theway to doing in Germany before therise of Hitler.In so far as the road is open forfree association with other men, allcultural traditions of the Jews willapproximate those of the WesternWorld at large. The institutions ofJewish traditions, attitudes and rit¬uals will disappear.This gradual assimilation will takeplace by three methods: first, be-group. First is solidifies the groupcause of a declining birth rate, sec¬ondly, by intermarriage and thirdlybecause the outside world will be re¬ceptive and prejudices will be min¬imized.The contribution which the Jews asa group have to make to the WesternWorld has already been made andincorporated into the basic pattern ofthe western civilization.You can only maintain a distinctivegroup by a set of distinctive marksor a distinctive ritual, or discrimina¬tory legislation and all of these aregradually disappearing in the U. S.In a liberal-democratic society anelaborate ritual will not be preservedand religion becomes simply a bodyof ethical ideals.It is precisely because of suchspontaneous outbursts by the Nazisthat the Jews are kept as a separategroup. First it solidifies the groupand secondly, it accentuates theawareness of the rest of the world tothe Jews as a separate entity.The way out for the Jew is notInuHouse Shoivs“Ma^inot Line^^French military secrets will be re¬vealed in the March of Time film,“Maginot Line,’’ to be shown at In¬ternational House today. The pictureportrays the 125-mile line of theFrench subterranean barracks on theFranco-German border, showing thebarracks, power plants, munitionscompartments, and the concrete gunand observation chambers.It also traces France’s present de¬fense plans, her top-speed rearma¬ment, and her revised national de¬fense strategy. Much of the actualfilming of the never-before-photo¬graphed Maginot Line was done dur¬ing the recent European war crisisand the privilege of making the filmwas granted to the March of Timeby the French War Ministry.The Franco-German spy drama“Second Bureau’’ will also be shown.The story is based on the espionageactivities of operatives of the Frenchintelligence department and the Ger¬man secret service. Admission forthe first performance at 4:30 will be35 cents, and for the second, 50. Zionism (Jewish nationalism) nor isit ritualism. I would say that for theJews there are three ways out. Firstthey should realize the futility of try¬ing to meet the problems as Jewsand should fight shoulder to shoulderwith enlightened, humanitariangroups in the West in a common re¬sistance to governmentally sponsoredhoodlumry and barbarism. Secondlythey should realize the futility of at¬tempting to meet the problem bymerely seeking to solve the difficultiesof the Jews unless they also dealwith the broader problem of op¬pressed minorities and exploitedgroups everywhere. Thirdly, there isthe immediate problem of the vic¬tims of the pogroms and govemmen-tally practised kidnaping and in thatthe Jews must necessarily play theleading role.Debaters Talk,On RetailingRosenstein, Fletcher,Conway, and Probst SeeAction.Jack Conway, George Probst, Da¬vid Fletcher, and Joe Rosenstein willconduct a roundtable discussion be¬fore the Chicago Association of Com¬merce at the 35th semi-annual con¬vention of the Interstate MerchantsCouncil at a banquet in the GrandBallroom of the Hotel Sherman at6:15 this evening.The subject of their discussion willbe “A Student Looks at Modern Re¬tailing Methods.’’ They will endeav¬or to answer the questions “what dostudents think about sales person¬nel, advertising methods, and con¬sumer movements?’’The Interstate Merchants Councilis an organization of retail mer¬chants banded together under theAssociation of Commerce supervisionand direction for the purpose of ex¬changing business building plansand ideas.
