Vol. 39, No. 99. Z-149 Batlp inarooiiTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26, 1939 Price Three CentsDebate SocializedMedicine Before PUDr. Jerger and Dr. Ice¬land Speak at MeetingToday in Kent 106.Dr. Joseph Jerger, author of therecent best-seller, “Doctor, Here’sYour Hat,’’ and Dr. Roscoe Leland,director of medical economics of the.American Medical Association, willdebate the question of socialized medi¬cine before the Political Union todayat 3:30 in Kent 106.Dr. Jerger will be joined by PaulGray, a member of the American Medi¬cal Students’ Association in support¬ing the motion, “Resolved; That thisUnion favors socialized medicine.’’Dan Gauss, co-chairman of the Con¬servative coalition, and Dr. Lelandwill oppose it. Dr. Jerger recentlyparted company with the AMA, whenthe .Association opposed the distribu¬tion of his book, which it regards asprejudicial to its interests. Jergerhas taken the case to Washingtonfor settlement.Dr. Leland, on the other hand, sup¬ports .Morris Fishbein, editor of theJournal of the AMA, who stronglyopposes all tendencies toward social¬ization of medicine.Jerger, father of Law school stu¬dent Wilbur Jerger, although he doesnot wholeheartedly support socializedmedicine, leans far in its direction.He is, further, opposed to the extremespecialization which has come to char¬acterize present day medicine.His book, in addition to being anon-fiction best seller, was even morewidely popularized by being briefedin a recent issue of the Reader’s Di¬gest.The question of socialized medicinehas for the last few years split theranks of the AMA itself, and hasmet strong opposition from physicianswho feel that both doctor and patientwould be injured by it in many ways.Two rebuttals by Political Unionmembers will summarize the argu¬ments of the principal speakers. BillHankla of the Liberal coalition, andHarold Wright, co-chairman of theLiberals, will support Jerger and Le¬land respectively. After the speak¬ers, the floor will be thrown openfor discussion and questions. At thistime, three-minute speeches by mem¬bers will be in order. Fandango BeginsAnd Ends SpringSocial SeasonSince the annual Military Ball wentdefunct along with the ROTC severalyears ago. Spring quarter in the pastfew years has become a social desert.This year the Senior Class is againstepping in to fill the breach with theonly all-campus dance of the quarter,“The Fandango.’’At the suggestion of PresidentHutchins, the party has been enlargedfrom merely a social function into aproject to raise a scholarship fund.Since the Senior Class had elected noofficers this year, the class is unor¬ganized and would otherwise notleave a gift to the University.Open to CampusSponsored by Seniors, the party isopen to the campus. In addition todancing to the music of the ColonialClub orchestra, booths, sideshows anda floorshow will fill the evening’sprogram.

Witness thefact that never more than 25 stu¬dents try out for the $60 David BlairMcLaughlin Essay Conte.st. Althoughthis contest should be easy bait sinceit is strictly limited to students inthe College, last year and three timesbefore that no prizes were awarded.The decision not to award a prizeusually results from a scarcity of en¬tries, and a general lack of inspira¬tion on the part of the contestants.M ith the exception of ElizabethMadox Roberts who won in 1917, thewinners have not become famous inliterary fields. Though the entries s.rejudged more on the basis of stylerather than content, they are not, asa whole, very brilliant. The essays*'un about seven pages (between 1500and 3000 words) and must concernsome subject pertaining to the Hu¬manities or Social Sciences.This limitation is so vague thatmany students are puzzled. Nothingexcept inspiration can erase this be¬wilderment because in the past prizeessays have included: “A PreliminaryCritique of Poetry,’’ “Greek andGothic,’’ “An Interpretation of St.Paul’s Attitude Toward Women,’’ “APuritan Sensualist,’’ and “Catherinethe Great and the French Revolu¬tion.’’Established in 1914The prize was established in 1914by Mr. and Mrs. McLaughlin in mem¬ory of their son, David Blair Mc¬Laughlin, who died suddenly in 1914while a sophomore in the (College ofEnglish Literature. The award is thecumulative income from a $1000principal.The prize-winning ejssays are not published, and many times are re¬turned to their authors. Between 1924and 1931 not even a record was keptof the names of the winners. Asmight well be exj)ecte<l from this set¬up, the McLaughlin prize involvesmuch less prestige than the more fa¬mous Fiske Poetry Prize.Some of the recent winners are stillon campus and can probably give.some idea of prize-winning proce¬dure. Arthur Berndtson w'on in 1933,Miriam D. Brown in 1934, Mary A.Reamer in 1935, John Brady Marksin 1936, and Walter Porges in 1937.The essays, in typewritten form,must be turned in to the English Of¬fice, Ingleside 304, not later thanMay 1. The essay ^hould be unsigned,but should be accompanied by a seal¬ed envelope containing the name ofthe writer.

Spon¬sored by the University Camera Club,the lecture is open to the public andthere is no admission charge.Although a practicing surgeon athis own hospital.

His prints are annually exhib¬ited throughout the country and inEurope.He has won international recogni¬tion for his work on the paper nega¬tive process of developing and he isconsidered an expert in that field. Significant changes for the qualifi¬cations for Master’s degrees havebeen made in the Department of So¬ciology, announced Professor Ells¬worth Faris, department head yester¬day. Taking notice of the increasingneed for sociologists in other fieldsthan teaching, the department has re¬vised the requirements to keep pacewith the changing trend.Formerly one course was mappedout for all students working for mas¬ter’s degrees. The degree was littlehelp, except as a stopping stonetowards a doctor’s certificate, almostan absolute prerequisite for a teach¬ing post.Sociologist’s Role GrowsBut in recent years, the sociolo¬gist’s role as a professional man hasbeen growing in importance. In or¬der to adapt the Master’s degree can¬didate for the positions that are nowbeing opened to him—jobs in prisons,in the Washington census bureau,and with various new social serviceorganizations, as well as researchposts—the requirements are beingmade much more flexible for thosestudents who do not plan to work fora Doctor’s degree.After more than a year of sporadicplanning for the new requirements,they have been finished, and are en¬compassed in the announcements forthe coming year.Individual ProgramsA committee of two members of thedepartment will map out the programTor the student planning to make so¬ciology a profession—the programwill be adapted to suit his particularneeds, and he will be examined onthat basis.This decision, pointed out DoctorFaris, came out of a combination ofplans, and he expects it to be a greatstep in advancing the freedom of thestudent to choose his course of educa¬tion in sociology.

V. Smith, pro¬fessor of Philosophy and DemocraticCongressman at-Large from Illinois,who was one of the three Round Tab-lers on the first broadcast in Febru¬ary 1931. Appearing with ProfessorSmith in this platform appearance ofthe Round Table, demonstrating thetechnique of spontaneous educationaldiscussions, will be Professors May¬nard Krueger, economist, and LouisWirth, sociologist, both regularRound Table participants. (||(|niiii Seven Student Forum members onthe CBS “Bull Session’’ Saturdaygeneralized on the subjects of toler¬ance and patriotism and warmed tothe Anierican Legion and the ASU inparticular. Other topics touched werethe Frolic theatre, a prominent Chi¬cago banker, and the DAR.When it was suggested that theAmerican Legion, along with othergroups use its cry for patriotism forselfish ends, including the mainten¬ance of the political and economicstatus quo, several phone calls to sta¬tion WBBM complaining of the harshtreatment the Legionnaires were get¬ting immediately developed. Thesecalls frightened some of the station’sofficials ' but the University studentscontinued, unintimidated.Anthem Takes BeatingThe policy of some theatres of play¬ing the national anthem and display¬ing a technicolor flag on the screenat points in the program also camein for a beating. Bud Briggs stoutlymaintaining that he once remainedseated when everybody else stood up.The group did not think that thismanner of instilling “patriotism’’served the best interests of the na¬tion.Because he criticized the ASU andsimilar groups for their prematureand irrational hatred of Hitler, PierrePalmer was termed a fascist by aperson in the studio audience. Cor¬respondingly Joshua Jacobs wascalled “communist” by a hearer for astatement he made.Those participating in the Bull Ses¬sion were Louise Landman, IngerAnderson, Bud Briggs, Joshua Ja¬cobs, Joe Rosenstein, Jack Conway,and Pierre Palmer. Sills, Hutchinson, andWilson Also Win NewOffices,Frederick Linden, Clarence Sills,Martha Hutchinson, and Donald Wil¬son w’ere named officers of the Dra¬matic Association Board following anelection held yesterday. The newBoard will appoint the chairman ofacting and a business manager attheir next meeting.Having been acting president ofDA since Hugh Campbell resignedtwo months ago. Linden was re-elect¬ed to hold office for another year.His opponent Clarence Sills, a mem¬ber of Delta Kappa Epsilon andtreasurer of DA, automatically be¬comes vice-president.Linden is a member of Alpha Del¬ta Phi, has done production work forthe Dramatic Association, and haswritten some of the music and lyricsfor Blackfriar shows of the past twoyears.Martha Hutchinson, a MortarBoard member, will serve as treasur¬er while Donald Wilson, a Deke wasnamed production manager.This year has seen an innovationin DA work with the inaugurationof the Workshop. Designed to givestudents more practical experience instage production and in acting, theWorkshop has enabled members toteach classes in make-up, production,and diction.Directed by Clark Sergei, a fresh¬man and a member of Beta Theta Pi,the first production of the Workshopwill be presented tonight in the Rey¬nolds Club theater. The play chosenis Isben’s famous “Ghosts.” Addition¬al plays have been planned for thefuture.During the past year DA present¬ed its Newcomers Bill “Mr. PirnPasses By” and most recently, “TheCat and the Canary.” The Associationhas also included in its activities aseries of short skits presented onsuccessive Friday afternoons in theReynolds Club theater.Outline PositionAt ASU Meeting Evans Stars as“Ghosts” OpensThe American Student Union posi¬tion on the tuition changes proposedby the University will be outlined anddiscussed at the general membershipmeeting in Law North at 3:30 thisafternoon. The discussion will prepareASU members for participation in anall-campus meeting sponsored by thestudent committee to protest tuitionchanges, to be held in Mandel hallThursday.Plans for the remainder of thequarter and preparation for nextyear will complete the business of theASU session. The Dramatic Association’s pre¬miere performance of Ibsen’s ever-difficult “Ghosts” opened last night toa dubious but tolerant campus au¬dience.For the past few weeks the ideaof a DA workshop which would stageadult, time-tested dramatics had beenapplauded vociferously by campusdemocrats, but always with skepticaltolerance toward the actual perform¬ance of such plays.Last night’s dramatic crucibleshould dispel all such qualms. Itshould also dispel any doubt thatBetty Ann Evans is top-notch per¬former on the Dramatic Associationroster. To play the role of Mrs. Al-ving is no small task for any actress,particularly a young one. Though theother four members of the cast provedthemselves capable amateurs. MissEvans’ performance approached pro¬fessionalism. She handled; slightlyantiquated dialogue with an intelli¬gence and mature stage presencewhich rescued the play oftentime fromthe danger of absurdity. Plauditsare also in order for Dick Himmelwho co-operated with Miss Evans inthe last scene to stage the most quiet¬ly effective drama that the Reynoldsclub theater has seen in many sea¬sons.Should Bob Cohen lose a slightcase of self-conscious play acting, heshould undoubtedly prove one of DA’sfuture mainstays.Perhaps greatest credit, however,goes to director Clark Sergei who al¬most single-handedly directed theplay...and to English instructor Da¬vid Daiches for his analysis of char¬acter for the five-man cast. Undoubt¬edly the fact that emphasis wasbeautifully placed on the most sig¬nificant highlights of the play is dueto their careful, expert advice.Page Two THE DAILY MAROON, WEDNESDAY.

Cam-b r i d g e’s flourishing tutoringschools, which have provided agood living for many a brightgraduate tutor, are classified asno better than “intellectualbrothels.”Basing opinions on nothingbut hoary tradition, it is almostsafe to say that in spite of cam¬paigns, tutoring will retain itsstrong hold on Cambridge un¬dergraduates. Even at the Uni¬versity, where tutoring is in¬formal and remarkably infre¬quent, there is a constant classof steady tutees who pay highprices into the willing hands ofgraduate students. The condi¬tions which make tutoring anestablished institution on theQuadrangles are intensified atthe eastern school. Letters to theEditorBoard of Control,The Daily Maroon:I have just finishefl reading the fi¬nal article on the recent moot courttrial in the law school. It is printedunder the heading: NIELSENAWARDED VERDICT; WEBBECLAIMS ‘FRAME UP’ in the paperof April 20, 1939. Frankly I’m dis¬gusted with the article and with theattitude of the writer. The editorcannot be blamed for all the newsthat is printed in the paper but forfuture reference I thought you mightbe interested in what another studentthinks.Chicago University is consideredgenerally as a center of studious ac-j tivity. Certainly it isn’t limited tothis but the students and the admin¬istration believe that they are moreserious and ‘intellectually inclined’than the average college student. Per¬haps the staff of the Daily Maroonis an exception. If so, somethingshould be done because strangers of¬ten see nothing but the daily campusnewspaper and are apt to judge thespirit of the college by what theyread in it.I have spoken with students whoattended the trial reported and wasamazed that anyone could have seenwhat your reporter thinks he did.The world is full of morons who arecontinually looking for somethingconnected with the word “sex.” Theworld is also full of persons who areso superficial that they will do any¬thing to gain a laugh from another.I am speaking now of your remarksregarding Judge McKinlay and in aprevious article regarding Miss Rex-strew. Let us hope that the Judgedid not read the article as he prob¬ably would not feel pleased that hehad given up an afternoon and anentire evening trying to help the lawstudents with their work. I do notknow the young lady but feel certainthat she must be as disgusted as I.Certainly the Editor of the Maroonwill have the decency to write a noteof apology.Trying to sum up, it seems to cometo this. A University newspaperwhich is written primarily for an ed¬ucated group of people, has gone offthe track in order to appear cleverand in order to gain more readers (Isuppose) and has felt that it needsmust appeal to the more primitiveand simple elements of man’s nature.The club in the law school mustindeed be disappointed and probablya bit chagrined as they will realizethat a lot of their hard work in con¬ducting lawyers and judges to helpthem with their trials has perhapscome to naught. What judge wishesto be talked of as you did of JudgeMcKinlay?A STUDENT IN THE UNIVERSITY.The conditions under whichtutoring flourishes require acampus in a location which of¬fers a superabundance of extra¬curricular distractions, studentswith an excess of money, andstudents who possess, besidesmoney, an inclination to regardcollege as a pleasant continua¬tion to adolescence. The fourthcondition is a course which canbe passed as easily by judicioustutoring as by spotty class at¬tendance and irregular studyhabits, which are the alterna¬tives for the tutee class. Eventhe University, with its longreading lists for College com-prehensives and stress on dis¬cussion groups, has not beenable to remove this last require¬ment. It is still possible for thenormally bright student with noreal desire to learn anything, topass any College comprehensiveby means of ten good tutoringsessions and a weeks’ enthusias¬tic cramming.While similar conditions ex¬ist in any school it is impossiblefor any group, even the mem¬bers of the Harvard Crimson, toassume that by good wishesthey can abolish tutoring. Ifstudents do not want to do any¬thing besides learning the coursefor purposes of the comprehen¬sive, there is no reason for forc¬ing them to do so. The conditionswhich lead to the expectationthat college should be nothingmore than a pleasant delay to thenecessity for working are rootedin the home and the high school,and no professor, no matter howinspiring, can force a student toregard him as a more effectiveteacher than the tutor who lays^he course out in a neat diagram. Board of Control,The Daily Maroon:Conversation may be fast vanish¬ing as a social art, but certainly notin the main Reading Room of theHarper Memorial Library. I admit aLibrary is a poor place to go to do abit of work, and I certainly am no“snooper” seeking to maintain thecalm of a concentration camp or thequiet of a cemetery. Never-the-less,when each table has its own four-or-five man private caucus and eachcorner of the room is graced with aneven larger private convention, couldnot something be done to keep thenoise-makers out?Disturbed.Oriana A CapellaChoir Sings, May 9On Tuesday evening.

Do physical andenvironmental factors play a causalpart? If so, what kind of treatmentbest improves reading ability? Foralmost two years a group of special¬ists from Billings Hospital, the de¬partment of Education, and the Or¬thogenic School has been making anintensive cooperative study of theseproblems and carrying on remedialprograms.Factors in DisabilityThough investigation of readingdisability has been going on at theeducational laboratories of the Uni¬versity for more than 20 years, paststudies have shown that various fac¬tors are involved which are oftendifficult to identify. At a conferenceheld two years ago, the best procedurefor studying the various causal fac¬tors underlying extreme cases ofreading disability and appropriatetherapeutic measures was discussed.As a result, a clinical staff organ¬ized to study the etiology of readingdisability and to carry on a parallelremedial program. On the staff are apediatrician, a neurologist, an oph¬thalmologist, an orthoptician, an ear,nose, throat, and speech specialist, aspecialist in glandular defects, anexpert in social case studies, a psy¬chiatrist, and a reading clinician.Specialists Make TestsThese specialists give tests andanalyze the data on applicants who areselected on basis of significant, dis¬crepancy betw’een mental and read¬ing abilities. At conferences the staffdetermines treatments according toindividual needs. Often the correc¬tive program is carried out at theHuston AppearsAt Grand OperaBy ELVIRA VEGH“Knickerbocker H o 1 i d a y,” withWalter Huston in the lead, first ofthe 1939 musical comedies to reachChicago, arrived at the Grand OperaHouse Sunday, April 23.

The rampantpatriotism of the University of Min¬nesota. with its Constitution club andAmerican club—both sworn to cam¬paign for democracy and freedom andconstitutional rights—inclines one tobelieve that the younger generationis piven to optimistically fancyingthe sweetness of idealism.The roll-call of institutions w'ith an¬ti-war clubs.. .Western Reserve, Uni¬versity of Maine, Upsala, Wesleyan,Louisiana State, Centre, and Lehighgrows and fortifies the we-won’t-shed-our-blood contingent.* * *The big fellow who blows the whis¬tle during football practice sessionsout on Stagg Field would do well tofeed his boys tomato and orangejuices in solution with alkali...a bio¬chemist at Oregon State College, E.C.

There remains but one moreSunday night meeting, —the programto be a discussion of religion by threeactive C U members. There will beno more issues of the Chapel Outlook,the weekly publication until next sea¬son.There remains however the possi¬bility of one more big overnight out¬ing.

Bob Rey¬nolds split the first two sets withBehrens and fought the George Wil¬liams man to a 10-8 victory in thefinal frame. Both men were visiblytired when the last set began and thegame score showed deuced tallies thatstarted at the 3-3 game count andstayed even until Reynolds hit hisservice stride in the 17th game, forg¬ing ahead to win the duel. Score:5-7, 6-4, 10-8.Dick Norian took his man instraight sets, getting hot with his cross court shots in the lasTl^Ttetake a love frame. Norian’s scorewas 7-6, 6-0. Also adding to the Ma-roon match totals was James Hillwho took his opponent in two sets7-5, 6-2.Stevens BeatenIn the fourth singles match theChicago courtmen received theirfirst setback when Johnny Stevensfailed to overcome the pat-ball gameof big Bill James in a three-setstruggle. James’ game consisted ofaccurately pushing the ball back, tak-ing to the heights with a loopingaerial attack. Stevens, who likes hard¬hitting opponents, patiently waitedfor the push shots and gave them thesame treatment.Also bringing home the bacon forCoach Hebert was Norm “Killer” Ko¬gan. Seeing that his opponent hada poor lob shot, the killer belied hisname by rushing the net for most ofhis point shots. The score was 6-36-3. In a match that saw a lot ofsteady play Crane won the last sin¬gles event for the Maroonmen, over¬coming his opponent 6-4, 7-5.Chicago 8 ErrorsLose Close GameMidwaymen Collect 14Hits to Opponents’ 11,But Fail in Pinches.One bad inning in the field andlack of hitting in the clutch spelleddefeat for the Maroon ball club forthe third time in four days, as NotreDame took a 12-inning decision fromthem yesterday, nine to seven, onGreenwood Field.For a time, it looked as if Chicagomight win, for they had overcome anearly three-run lead which the Blueand Gold had piled up in the secondframe; three scores in the third in¬ning and another in the fifth put theMaroons ahead five to three, and ArtLopatka seemed to have the situationwell in hand. Along came the “luckyseventh” inning, however, when No¬tre Dame combined four hits, tw'o er¬rors, and a base-on-balls for a totalof four runs, putting them out infront, seven to five.Maroons Knot CountThe game was far from over, how¬ever, for Levit, Meyer, and Gramerall doubled, bringing the score up toseven all, as the game went into theeighth frame.Neither team was able to do muchof anything for four innings; BobReynolds, who had replaced Lopatkain the box for Chicago following thedisastrous seventh, had allowed butone hit, a line single by Crane; noneof the other Notre Dame boys hadeven reached first.An error by Maroon right fielderFeeney started the fireworks, though,by putting a man on fii'st. A buntadvanced the runner to second; alongdouble to right by Ray Pinelli, theNotre Dame cleanup man broke thetie, and a wild throw by Cow^hn, theChicago shortstop, allowed Pinelli toscore, giving Notre Dame a two-runadvantage, which the Maroons wereunable to overcome in their half ofthe inning; so the game ended withNotre Dame on top, nine to seven.Up until yesterday’s tilt, Chicagohad played particularly well defens¬ively, but they were certainly offagainst Notre Dame, for they com¬mitted a total of eight errors in thetwelve innings, to Notre Dame’sthree. It was this unsteady play inthe field which offset the Maroons’14 to 11 advantage in total hits.Marty Levit and Cliff Gramer ledthe Chicago team, with three binglesapiece out of six trips to the plate,while McCracken and Lopatka eachhad two for six. Only three of the11 men who played for Chicago dur¬ing the course of the afternoon failedto connect at all. Sullivan and RayPinelli led the Blue and Gold in hit¬ting, with three hits each out of sixattempfs.Notwithstanding their seemingly poor showings in their last three en¬counters, the outlook for the twogames with Indiana is still about thesame as it was at the beginning ofthe season; the Hoosiers have a hus¬tling ball club, composed for the mostpart of veterans, and only the best ofluck could win both the weekeno’sgames for Chicago, but the MaroonsTODAY’S I-M GAMESZBT — DU “B”Alpha Delta Phi—Phi Gamma Del¬taPhi Sigma Delta—Phi Kappa PsiPhi Delta Theta — Delta KappaEpsilonPsi Upsilon — Pi Lambda PhiBaccahalians — Lambda GammaPhi
