BullSession gPbe Bafly iflaroonVol. 39, No. 65. Z-149By JUDY FORRESTERand JIM LEONARD(This is the platform of the coali¬tion partjf of New Deal Denwcratsand Progressive Rejmblicans of theriorgnnhed Political Union. Twoj„ore articles on the platforms ofpolitical parties will appear in theI tailn Maroon. Next Wednesday Polit¬ical Union conducts a campus-widepoll to determine what proportion ofscats each party shall hold).With the reorganization of PoliticalUnion into divisions that realisticallyrepresent the American scene, comesthe necessity for redefining terms aswell. The real progressive today, dis¬tinguished from the 19th century lib¬erals and masquerading reactionarieswho affect the title, is the whole¬hearted supporter of New Deal meas¬ures—those which have been passed,and those which failed because theywere never given a chance.* * *Into the latter category comes theSupreme Court reorganization bill, anattempt to bring 20th century ideasinto the highest judicial body of theland, and to make it one which wouldsupport the issues for which everyprogressive stands. In grave dangerof sharing the fate of the reorganiza¬tion bill is the Wagner Labor Rela¬tions Act, which this party supports ;as it now stands, and defends against jattempts to emasculate it by amend- inient. Its extension into regulation of ;intrastate commerce is the next step :demanded by liberal forces.Sharing the President’s consterna¬tion at the WPA appropriations cut,this party recommends extension ofall public works particularly those ofpublic health and housing. From a Imatter of digging holes in the ground jand rapidly filling them up again, this Iprogram must be the means of re¬viving the country’s basic industries,and a large-scale housing project {would be the best means of doing so.Important in this connection is in-erea.sed tax-graduation, in order thatthe burden for support of this pro¬gram shall not fall on the peoplewhom it is meant to aid.* • *With the President’s foreign policygood only as far as it goes, it is ouropinion that he is waiting for political.support to make it as strung as itmu.st be in order to be effective, andthat political support must come fromthe progressive parties. Adequate na¬tional defense, distinction betweenaggres.sor and victims in applicationof our neutrality laws, aid to demo¬cratic countries fighting invadersabroad—all these must be made ac¬tive part of our foreign policy, andthey can only be made so if publicopinion bt*comes an effective force inthat direction.Regretting that we split with thesouthern Democrats on this point,this party supports the anti-lynchingbill, and is willing to fight furtherfor civil rights and social equality forNegroes.Distinction between liberal andconservative is no longer along partylines. The President’s “purge” wasthe first step in the recognition of thefact that todav the political scene isone of New Deal versus Anti-NewDeal forces. The program outlinedabove is not the result of one man’sor of one group of men’s ideas, buta program made to meet the needs ofthe majority of people rather than ofvested interests. That those interestsare no longer considered paramountis evidenced by the present sit-down(Continued on page 4) THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1939 Price Three CentsTHE AMERICAN WAYUniversity Supports Cause ofOppressed Students, TeachersAiiiioiiiice YWCALuncheon MenuHesta Durkee and Effie LeeMorris, co-chairmen of the foodcommittee, have announced themenus for the annual YWCA Val¬entine Luncheon scheduled for to¬morrow.

Ry ERNEST LEISERThe current Refugee Aid drive,which owes its inception to the gen¬erosity of the University in donat¬ing ten scholarships to political ref¬ugees from Germany, Austria, andCzechoslovakia, is not the first dis¬play of a like generosity on the partof the administration.Ever since the Hitler regime cameto power in the Reich, the Universityquietly but consistently has given aidto both students and faculty mem¬bers, who otherwise would have beendeprived of all chances at educationor earning a living. The registrar’soffice now show’s between 12 and 15refugees attending University classesregularly; and among distinguished.scholars on the faculty are 10 menfrom Germany, who while not all ref¬ugee-., would not be here without theopiwrtunities offered by the Univer¬sity for re.search and study free fromthe atmosphere of political persecu¬tions.In addition to this aid being givendirectly by the University, Interna¬tional House has played an importantpart in making it possible for ref¬ugees to attend the University bygiving sums for aid to deserving .stu¬dents from abroad. At pre.sent thereare eight such students from Germanyand eight more from China staying atInt-House with the help of the AidFund.Estimate Number of ScholarshipsThe University administration hasno definite list of the refugees in at¬tendance who are receiving financialaid. Its records give no definite num¬ber, but Dean George A. Works, headof the scholarship committee esti¬mated that there are about six oreight Ph.D.’s using the facilities ofthe University to continue their re¬.search and that another six are hereon remission scholarships. The remis¬sion scholarships were awarded be¬cause, due to the fragmentary re¬cords available on the refugees, andthe impossibility of comparing therecords w’hich can be ascertained,the University cannot award regular(Continued on page 2) Peace CouncilHears LavesDiscusses Ways toMeet Fascist Threat ofWar.Walter Laves, associate professorof political science and chairman ofthe Social Science survey courses,will discuss the question, “How CanWe Meet the Fascist Threat ofWar?” before the Campus PeaceCouncil today.

Thisservice was first begun here in Octo¬ber, 1937, when the University co¬operated with the Hospital ServiceCorporation to set up a means foremployees to meet hospital bills forthemselves and their families by con¬venient monthly payments.Most important of the new benefitsis the change from the payment ofhalf the bills for family members tothe same full membership that wasformerly only available to Universityemployees. The second importantchange is the privilege of sponsoringas subscribers relatives other thanhusband and wife and unmarriedchildren.^At the present, 1,067 Universityemployee.*? and 827 of their depend¬ents are members of the plan, andthese members have used over 1,400days of service, representing paidhospital bills of over $7,000. However,all these old members and any otheremployee who wish the service mustapply for admission under the newPlan before February 15. Student em¬ployees are not eligible.The Plan for Hospital Care pro¬vides twelve services for its members,including 21 days hospital care ayear, bed and board in semi-privaterooms, general nursing service, allanesthetics, unlimited use of the op¬erating room, obstetrical or mater¬nity care for members who have beenin the Plan a year or more, all dress¬ings, most medicines, physical exam¬inations including x-ray, emergencyservices to accident victims that don’tneed bed care, and hospital serviceto surgery patients at the time ofoperation.The fees, which may be paid eitherdirectly or by pay roll deduction, de¬pending on the circumstances, are: forpay roll deduction—$2.40 a quarterfor a subscriber alone; $4.50 a quai’-ter for a subscriber and one family(Continued on page 3)Oppose Linn’sSupport of KellyGosnell Backs Mayor;B o g e r t, Puttkammer,Shields Disagree.Acting tryouts for the women’s an¬nual musical comedy Mirror arescheduled for Thursday, the MirrorBoard announced yesterday.

It was also Puttkam-mer’s belief that backers of Greenand Courtney far outnumbered Kellysupporters among the faculty.Among the Green supporters werelisted Harold Gosnell, associate pro¬fessor of political science, who is alsoactively supporting Paul Douglas foralderman of the Fifth Ward. Com¬menting on the Kelly administrationin his book “Machine Politics: Chica¬go Model” published two years ago,Gosnell said “Kelly gained control ofthe School Board which held a secretsession and adopted a drastic pro¬gram of economy which was con¬demned by educators everywhere.”Another member of the faculty todiffer with Professor Linn on theschool question was Professor Har-old G. Shields of the School of Busi¬ness. “As one interested in goodschools in Illinois,” Professor Shieldssaid, “I don’t think the damage whichhas been done to the Chicago schools,including the decreased morale ofteachers, can be solved by an ad¬visory committee (as Linn had sug¬gested).

Itwould be worthwhile if its onlyresult was to give ten refugeestudents a chance to study atthe University and to help Chi¬nese and Spanish students to liveand get an education in theirown countries. But it rests onmuch stronger grounds and rep¬resents more to us than themere feeling of self-satisfactionthat comes from helping others.A contribution to the fund is acontribution, however small, tothe future peace and well-beingof the world.Sooner or later the Spanishcivil war and the Chinese-Japa-nese war will end.

BetaTheta Pi, as seen by a pledgee.As fraternities go, we feel we rankhigher than most smaller houses,fact we think in a year or two we willbe one of the top houses on thecampus—that is if our remarkablescholastic average runs true to form.I say remarkable, because I can’tfor the life of me, see how Some ofthe brothers can get straight As. I’mthinking particularly of one Walt Hip¬pie, who passed seven comprehensives, his freshman year, and achieved the, highest Humanities mark in the his-! tory of the survey. (He says he readall the Humanities books over inI twelve hours—just bc-iore the comp).! This year, for the first time sinceI the advent of R.M.H., Beta rushedj against the big houses, and got tenj men. We sadly lost Phi Belt pledge; Chet Hand and Deke pledge BruceMitchell.

He is now pursuing his researchin Jones Chemistry Laboratory, un¬troubled by political oppression. Dr.Melchior Palyi, noted economist andformer director of the Keichsbank,unacceptable to the Nazis because ofhis outspoken opposition to the wholesystem in Germany, is a research as¬sociate in the Social Science division.A member of the law school faculty scholars away from Germany.

Dr. Werner Jaegerleft the University of Berlin to ac¬cept a faculty post at Chicago asprofessor of Greek. However, Dr.Jaeger’s departure from Germanywas not related to political consider¬ations.Therefore, while this is the firsttime scholarship aid and funds tohelp support refugee students havebeen organized on a large scale, theUniversity is merely carrying on itspolicy of giving aid to student orteacher, regardless of race or polit¬ical beliefs.

The program, whichincluded works by Bach, dementi,Schumann, Chopin and others, gaveMiss Rudeis ample opportunity todisplay her youthful powers of ex¬pression both technically and inter-pretively.It is particularly interesting tohear performance by young artistssince gradual mature growth may bemore easily judged with each suc¬ceeding recital. Miss Rudeis, despitedifficulties with an instrument thatleft much to be desired in plasticityof timbre, showed considerable com¬mand of dynamic range and appar¬ently chose her program partly tothat end. She seemed to be more athome from the expressive standpointin compositions of moderate propor¬tions.

I THE DAILY MAROON. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1939 Page ThreeJ. Harlan Bretz DevotesLife to Study of CavesBy MARION GERSONThe greatest authority on caves inthe world is J. Harlan Bretz of theGeology department who has visitedover seventy-five of them in the mid¬dle west, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.He prefers the commercial grottos tothe unexplored ones, but what inter¬ests him most is not the structuralfeatures, nor the remains of Indiansettlements, but the indices of thecave origins such as fossil remains orrock formations. These he greedilypounces upon and studies thoroughly.He has a theory that caves originate,not because of the work of under¬ground streams but because of hydro¬static pressure. When the rock whichis now’ the cave under consideration(in this case, it is any of those visit¬ed by Bretz) was just above the wa¬ter table, some force was exerted andthe water shoved its way through therock above it, almost in the samemanner that pressure forces the wa¬ter up in artesian wells. In thiscase, however, the water wore awaythe rock, so that caves were formed.Finds Guides IrksomeBretz visits caves as often as hepossibly can, which means that hegoes on exploring trips during allvacations and over long week-ends.He has floundered through mud inorder to reach a cave which proved tobe ju.st as muddy as the way to it,he fias followed an irate guidethrough a labyrinthine cave with onlytw’o ga.soline lamps for light in theblackness, he has eaten prodigiousmeals supplied by obliging cave own¬ers and has slept at cave mouths inorder to start the next day’s workthat much earlier (rock does notmake a soft bed).*Guides irk Bretz. They have somany funny (ha, ha!) .stories to tell.These .stories may be believed by theguillible tourist but the scientist canand will not believe that “an Indianchief was assissinated here at thevery mouth of the cave” or “This isthe Poison Pit. One drop is enough tokill.” Guides are considered as neces¬sary evils in commercial enterprisessuch as Mammoth Cave in Kentuckywhich are full of corridors, winding' passageways, and treacherous rooms.Bretz would prefer silence on thepart of the guide, but so many ofthem are as effervescent as the bub¬bles of sparkling water.Cave.s Are YoungMost people, says Bretz, cannot be¬lieve that cave.s did not always exist.One such person recently sent himthe remains of a prehistoric sharkand asked him to ascertain the pe¬riod when the shark swam in thecave. The truth of the matter wasthat the cave had formerly been asea, and when the water of this seaconsolidated into limestone, the sharkv.as impri.soned. Flrgo, the shark re¬mains remain.Bretz has limited his cave trips tothe middle west and the east, for ashe says, “There are enough cavesnear home so that it is not nece.ssaryto go to such publicized holes as theCarlisbad Caverns.” He has exploredcaves from Minnesota to Arkansas,all along the western banks of theMississippi, caves large and small inIndiana, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania,and Virginia. He has w'iggled intocaves on his belly, crawled into them,paddled into them, rowed into them,and lowered himself into them onropes. Caves are Professor Bretz’slife-work and he is accumulating more and more material to .supporthis hpyothesis on cave formation.Has Camera TechniqueAccompanying Bretz on all his fieldtrips of. the past few years has beena small, battered, but efficient Leicaminiature camera. One may welldoubt its practicability in caves, but“Doc” has perfected a method forsecuring photographs of their darkinteriors. After the camera is placedin a secure position, its shutter isopened and then a strong spotlight isused literally, to paint the walls ofthe cave. This technique has resultedin a series of extremely well detailedpictures of many types of caves foundin America today.Hospital Plan—(Continued from page 1)member; $6.00 a quarter for a sub¬scriber and two or more family mem¬bers, regardless of number.

FEBRUARY 8, 1939DAILY MAROON SPORTSShaughnessyIssues AthleticQuestionnaireBy BOB REYNOLDSWhat does one do with a problemat the University of Chicago? Doesone become secretive and contempla¬tive and sit and think and brood fornumberless hours till one has manu¬factured a key to the diflSculty. Ordoes one don a straight-jacket andspend a week-end in the psychopathicward at Billings, among the captivegeniuses of the school? No, one doesnot do those things. One merely con¬ducts a survey.The most recent survey to flowfrom the mimeographs bears thestamp of the athletic department andthe signature of Clark D. Shaugh¬nessy. The football coach has sent toeach numeral winner and returningvarsity man an eight page ques¬tionnaire composed of 17 queries thatprobe subjects ranging in nature fromskill, training, spirit, inducements,the school’s athletic policy, andShag’s method of teaching to justplain funny questions.Queries Athlete’s AttitudeSeveral of the questions, such as,“Do you feel that playing on a win¬ning team does more good than play¬ing on a losing one, or vice versa ? Ordoes it make any difference?” and“Do you feel that as student of theUniversity of Chicago you are en¬titled to the right of trying out fora football team that has a reasonablechance to win?” are so obviously an¬swerable in only the positive thatthey amount to little more than icebreakers.But number three, a question whichconcerns training, embodies a gem ofC3micism. It traces the usual pat¬tern— “a player should be on hishonor ... he should train, if not forhimself, then for the benefit of theteam . . . and use common sense inavoiding iniquitous companions andpleasures . . . etc.” Then it asks, “Isit the coach’s business to catch theboys breaking training and thendramatically ‘fire’ them from thesquad, not forgetting to tell thepapers?”What Price Victory?Of all the problems this novelmethod of treating universal head¬ache creates, the one asking whetherChicago is playing the game of “weare in step, but the rest of the armydoesn’t know how to march,” in¬trigues me. Shag bluntly desires toknow what inducement other thansubsidization, can be offered to arousevirility among the local male speci¬mens.Only a small portion is alloted toactual technical discussion. Shouldmore emphasis be placed on offensivemaneuvers or on tactical defensivesis the point raised. From what he haspreviously declared to the publicprints, Shaughnessy semi-conclusive-ly answers himself, that he plans toslice the offensive program in two andconcentrate on the fundamentals.His comic bent manifests itself inthis sparkling inquiry, “Why is itthat so few outstanding footballplayers come to the University ofChicago?”Soothes Non-ConformistsTo those of the student body whovehemently decry football and seekthe reason for the sport’s continuanceat this institution, these followingquestions, if they are honestly an¬swered, will perform as infalliablccriteria; “What phase of playingstrikes you as most important . . .the physical exercise, the associationsformed, the mental and moral train¬ing and discipline, the opportunity itgives you to establish a better knownindividuality than that of the rankand file student?^’ And, “If playingfootball is a valuable experience, itwould be consistent for us to do ev¬erything possible to encourage more Intramural Cagemen ShowImprovement In Fourth RoundPhi Psis, Phi Belts,Phi Kaps and Phi U’sWin.Although the scores were all lowin last night’s fourth round Frater¬nity division Intramural basketballgames the boys are improving;they’re beginning to play what lookslike basketball.
