Isserman ofTemple Israel, St. Louis, Mo. will de¬liver the sermon on Sunday Morningin Rockefeller Memorial Chapel. Wellknown in the Mid West as an ardentexponent of social justice and toler¬ance, Dr. Isserman will speak on thesubject “The Things We Have InCommon.”He is the author of several books,among them “Rebels and Saints,”“The Social Message of the Prophetsof Israel,” and “Sentence to Death.”Besides his religious activity, Dr.Isserman has found time enough tofound and be chairman of the SocialJustice Committee of St. Louis. He isalso president of the Jewish StudentFoundation at the University of Mis¬souri. Charles E. Merriam, chairman ofthe department of Political Science,is one of seven prominent Chicagoanswho will serve on the Citizens’ Ad¬visory Committee for Chicago schoolsif Mayor Kelly is re-elected. Part ofKelly’s promise to take politics outof the school system, the committeewill supervise future appointmentsto the Board of Education and haveadvisory control over general educa¬tional functions. Two more members,one of them a leader of organizedlabor, will be appointed later.Before the committee was named.Mayor Kelly had a series of confer¬ences with State RepresentativeJames Weber Linn who, because henow supports Kelly whom he former¬ly opposed, has been attacked by theDaily News as an “absent mindedprofes.sor” playing politics. In a ra¬dio address last night, Linn answeredthese charges.First he read the list of committeemembers who have accepted appoint¬ments: Charlotte Carr, head residentof Hull House; Lester Seelig, presi¬dent of the General American Trans¬portation Corporation; Dr. M. O.Bousfield, president of the ChicagoUrban league, and vice-president ofthe Supreme Liberty Insurance Com¬pany; W. F. Clarke, dean of theDePaul school of Law; Dr. RichardJ. Tivnen of the Loyola medicalschool; John Nering, manager of thePolish Welfare Association; andCharles E. Merriam. Referring tothem as a group he “personally es¬teems,” he added that like himself,they do not all back Kelly in every¬thing, but they like the committee.“I saw a job to be done;” saidLinn, speaking of the charges of“playing politics,” “and I neededpolitical power to do it. That job wasto take politics out of Chicagoschools. Within a year it will bedone.” Resigns, CallsCommitteePrestige GroupDorothy Overlook FindsDirty Politics in SocialCommittee,Charging that the Student SocialCommittee has become merely aprestige group, and incensed at theprominent part played by fraternitypolitics in Committee affairs, Doro¬thy Overlock yesterday announcedher resignation from the organiza¬tion.Miss Overlock, although she is aclub member, has consistently upheldthe cause of the independent in Cam¬pus social life and opposed the domi¬nation of fraternity and club groups.“However, I’ve been practically a mi¬nority of one in the Committee,” shesays, “and my viewpoint has alwaysbeen rejected. This action is notrash. I’ve thought about it since Oc¬tober. Since I’ve been helpless onthe Committee I have thought thatby resigning I might call attentionto the situation and do some good.”“I have felt all year that the So¬cial Committee neither is what itshould be nor does what it shoulddo,” she says. She refers to the ac¬tivities of the Committee which arestated in th6 Student Handbook asproof that it does not do what itproperly should do. “The Committeehas not arranged the social calendarfor the year and acted in an advisorycapacity for all social activities asthe Handbook says it should.”“The Social C-Book dances aregood and a step in the right direc¬tion,” she says, “but they certainlyare not enough.

Hugh Campbellant Dean of Students, no new DApresident has been chosen. The onlyname mentioned in connection withthe presidency to date is that ofFrederick Linden.Fogle Mixes With DeanAlthough Campbell has left schoolfor lack of funds, the difficulty ofFogle’s position came because of theDean’s office ruling which states thatactivities heads must carry at leasttwo courses each quarter. Fogle isthis quarter carrying only one. Lastquarter Fogle had made arrange¬ments with Dean Smith whereby hemight take courses at Armour In¬stitute of Technology at the sametime that he was taking the onecourse on campus.However, he plans to continue workat the University in the Graduateschool in the division of PhysicalScience, and next quarter will carrya full course load.

They cannot fail to realize thatthe activities best suited to the cam¬pus are the informal sort now beingtaken over by Chapel Union and theIda Noyes staff, because the SocialCommittee has failed to carry out its! function, but they do nothing to takeback their rightful place.I It would be a difficult job to see: that the undergraduates had enough; commons rooms, enough opportunityi for meeting people, enough chance atI amateur athletic tournaments, out-i ings, parties.

Butthen Webbe announced his Social C-Book plan. The seers retired into acorner and acknowledged their wrong.Webbe was socializing the campus af¬ter all.They retired too soon. After the C-Book dances were well launched, theCampus Congress Committee held ameeting to propose a federation planto the Social Committee. The essen¬tials were that the Student SocialCommittee was to assume real re¬sponsibility for the coordination ofthe campus’ social affairs, instead ofcontinuing the mere mechanical co¬ordination by Miss Foreen. Themeans; — an enlarged committeemade up of representatives of all in¬terested organizations, the dormitor¬ies, the Chapel Union, clubs and fra¬ternities. the American Student Un¬ion, the Ida Noyes and Reynolds ClubCouncils, — all groups that were in¬terested in increasing participation incampus life. This large group woulddiscuss gaps in the social program,find out which organizations werebest suited to fill them, delegate sub¬committees and other organizationsto do the work they could not. Andout of this group would be chosen themembers of the executive committee,selected on the basis of work done theprevious year.Members of the Student SocialCommittee discussed the plan, turnedover in their minds the idea of callingin campus leaders to discuss its feas¬ibility, and then hit on a Titus-BensonWalks AgainThe unsquelchable past rose againWednesday night when the Ghost ofthe Titus-Benson Case obliginglywalked anew for the InternationalHouse Student Council.Just Who and What Titus-Bensonmight be, was a moot question.

In addition to that, theWolverines’ outstanding player in theearly part of the season, Jim Rae,may be on the sidelines with a backinjury AYhich has given him consider¬able trouble in the few games inwhich he has been able to play.Whether the fortunes of the bas¬ketball team are good or bad, Maroonpractice goes on. Right now, Chica¬go stock on the basketball exchangeis down to rock bottom, and CoachNorgren is working the boys doublyhard in order to break into the win¬ning column in the Big Ten oncemore.Michigan has uncovered a real“find” in Tom Harmon, a sophomorewho seems slated to make real ath¬letic history up at Ann Arbor. Hefirmly believes that he plays bestwearing number 98, the numeral heused as a high school player, and hehas succeeded in convincing the Mich¬igan coaching staffs in both footballand basketball to issue that jersey tohim.Chicago is emphasizing offense inits practice sessions this week, in thehope of shaking off the scoring jinxw'hich has dogged Dick Lounsburyand Bob Cassels in recent games. Itseems that the boys aren’t Saturdayball players, for they consistentlydropped the ball through the hoop ina scrimmage with the freshman teamyesterday. If they can get going atgame time next Saturday, things maylook up soon in the Midway sportsworld.

Coach Merriam will takenine of his best track men to theIllinois Relays tomorrow. With near¬ly every major team in the Midwestrepresented, the Chicago team willhave plenty of competition, butthough they expect no miracles theywill probably pick up several medals.Hugh Rendleman’s consistent 46’and better shot putting should givehim a place, and if Davidson con¬tinues to clear 13’ in the pole vaulthe ought to be among the leaders,Davenport took second in the dashlast year, and ought to do all rightif he is fully recovered from his cold.Bob Wasem and Jimmy Ray will runthe high hurdles, and if Wasem for¬gets to hit a hurdle, he should place.Ray and Mafit will high jump. BobMerriam and Chet Powell will enterthe 1,000-yard run, and Maury Abra-hamson will run the 1,500 yard event.If the time schedule makes it feas¬ible for the runners to double up,Chicago might enter the distancemedley relay, with Wasem runningthe 440, Powell the 880, Merriam thethree-quarters, and Abrahamson themile leg. With such teams as In¬diana and Michigan running, Chica¬go would have no chance of winning,but might make a respectable show¬ing. Coach Merriam had hoped toenter a hurdle relay team, but, sincehis fourth hurdler is Remy Meyerand the basketball team think theyneed him worse the same day, theidea had to be abandoned. last night at the Maroon hockey rinkto the Long Arrows, city amateursextet, when they allowed five goalsto seep in during the second period.The final score was 9-5.The Maroons turned in a fair gameconsidering the fact that they lostto the same team last year, 6-0, andthat this is the first game of theseason.Loane Randall, graduate studentand co-captain of Minnesota’s GoldenGophers last year, easily proved thathe was the best man on the ice byvirtue of his amazing stick handling,cross checking and passing. Despitethe fact he did not score any goals.C. Mclvor, veteran from last year,greatly aided the Maroons by com¬bining with Randall frequently tobring the puck in scoring position. In a hard fought battle, played thelength of the Bartlett floor, Psi U “B”beat Phi Psi “B” in a playoff gameof the Intramural basketball tourna¬ment by a score of 10-8 last night.Phi Psi went down trying, led bytheir fiery, little fighter EmmettDeadman who time and again drib¬bled the length of the floor throughand into the entire Psi U team onlyto miss his short shot.Pfeiffer starred for the winning PsiU's by putting in three buckets anda free throw, and was followed byMcLellan with two points and Stev¬ens with one. Stevens also aided in thevictory by his one man stall in thelast minutes of the game dribbling, jall over the floor.Burton 500 Beats Hitchcock IPlaying for the supremacy of the |Dormitory league Burton 500 de-1feated Hitchcock 32-20.
