Fifth RowCenter* * *By DAVID GRENEKnickerbocker Holiday ^ Bailp iWaroonVol. 39, No. 102. Z-149 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, TUESDAY, MAY 2, 1939 Price Three CentsHow many variations from tepid tohottest hot can be played on the Mika¬do remains to be seen; but the musicalcomedy imitation of Gilbert and Sul-livan—to judge by this specimen—isapparently not capable of extension.Most of the points that were effectivewere borrowed from Gilbert and Sul¬livan but the borrowing only servedto set off the sadness of the trans¬formation—witness the close kinshipbetween the “Hush-Hush” scene andPooh-Bah’s “family pride.”The story of many of the G. and S.operas is meagre, and even the bookof lyrics, when read dispassionately,is not impressive, the characteriza¬tion, with a few notable exceptions, isneither striking nor acute—but withthe blessed conjunction of all of theseelements and the music, the show un¬doubtedly g;>es. And it goes with anexhilaration and vitality which is in¬dividual and enchanting. Nothingcould go less than KnickerbockerHoliday. It isn’t just that the begin¬ning is amateurish and longwinded,nor yet that the lyrics are stringyand flabby, nor that the politicalsatire, wherever it becomes explicit,is cheap, trite and vulgar. Over andabove all these, the play moves withan air of indefinable fatigue which isamply reflected in the feelings of thespectators.* ♦ ♦The one saving grace is Mr. Weill’sniu.sic. Perhaps it hasn’t all the dra¬matic force of his airs in JohnnyJohnson, though I am not .sure thatyou can blame the compo.ser for that.Paul Green gave him words to pointthe music. And I don’t think thatthere is any tune in KnickerbockerHoliday which is as haunting as “Go¬liath was a giant Huge and defiant”which Mr. W’eill wrote for The Eter¬nal Road, — but it’s grand dramaticmusic for all that. “The One Indis¬pensable Man” and “There’s NowhereTo Go But Up” are among Mr. Weill’sbest and Mr. Weill’s best is, in myhumble opinion, better than the bestof any other writer of dramatic lyricsnow that George Gershwin is dead.Mr. Huston made a tremendous ef¬fort to do something with the show.But his lines were so slight and thecharacterization so weak that he wasultimately driven to try to create acharacter rather than act it, and inthis, he just missed success. All therest of the cast were more than com¬petent and Jo Mielziner did some finesets.« « *For a short space the audience wasstirred to enthusiasm by a songwhich indicated that the characteri¬zation of the American was a consti¬tutional inability to take orders.(How You Can Tell An American).They were also happy to learn thatyou could not regiment Americans in¬to buying or selling or any otherform of social activity. But after thislittle flutter, rather too ostentatiouslypopular, apathy settled on the au¬dience until the end of the piece. Yourreviewer was among the apathetic.Tuition CommitteeStarts Union Card(^^ampaign DriveThe student committee on tuitionchanges is organizing the campus by“union card” methods, in its drive toget at least 2000 students to signcards endorsing the committee’s work.These cards, according to chairmanSid Lipshires, will be a strong talkingpoint in the hands of the committee,in its conference with members of theadministration.The committee members, by thestrength of the card campaign, hopeto make clear to the administrationthe opposition of the student body tothe recent tuition changes. If moneymust be raised out of student fundsimmediately, they are asking thatmembers of the administration listthe alternative methods of raising theprecise sum needed. Then, if, afteradequate discussion, these proposalsare voted on by the students in orderof preference, the committee mem¬bers feel that the changes will befair.Besides endorsement, the cards askfor the status of the student, and will-mgness to work for the committeeand contribute for publicity. Commit¬tee workers are soliciting signatures.Douglas TellsNecessity ofWard OfficesAlderman Is Voters’Only Contact With Ma¬chinery of City. Best Dressed Bates“The alderman is the one personthat the voter can talk to,” said Al¬derman-Professor Paul Douglas yes¬terday as he explained why it is nec¬essary to have well established branchoffices. One ward office has been es¬tablished at 1154 E. 57th and is al¬ways open, and Douglas meets withhis western con.stituents once a weekat 309 E. Garfield Boulevard.“The alderman,” says Douglas,” isthe one person that the voter thinkshe can control.” Consequently the al¬derman is often beseiged by peoplewith requests for jobs, enrollment onthe WPA, releases from jail, permitsfor signs, awnings, school transfers,zoning-law releases and demands forstreet and alley improvements.Receives RequestsTo Douglas’ward offices, particular¬ly in the western part of his district,come requests from the “underpriv¬ileged, overcrowded” Negro popula¬tion. Determined to cope with thispressing problem Douglas introduceda resolution at the city council meet¬ing Wednesday providing for the es-tabli.shment of a Race Relations Com¬mission to recommend legislativemeasures not later than August 1,1939.A similar commission was created in1919 after the massacrous race riotsof 1919. Douglas urges that a studyof the needs of the Negro be madebefore increasing pressure precipi¬tates another explosion.WPA SurveyA survey is being conducted byWPA investigators working for Col.(Continued on page 4) THE WINNERCUGroup ToursMadison StreetFlophousesF andangoOpensFriday NightThe world’s second Fandango willopen for one night only next Fridayin Ida Noyes Hall.

The Urban Problems Committee,newest of the Chapel Union socialI problems groups, is planning its first[student -education tour Wednesday■ evening. Under the leadership of atrained guide, the group will visitWest Madison Street, the largest cen¬ter of migratory workers in the coun¬try, to see employment agencies, “ho¬tels,” missions, lady-barbers, flop-houses, shops, movies, forums andother institutions which serve thesemen. The group will also visit thehistoric Desplaines Street Police Sta¬tion with its mementoes of the Hay-market Riot.The tour is open to all Universitystudents and is free except for car¬fare. The group leaves at 6:30 fromIda Noyes.First in SeriesThis w'ill probably be only the firstin a series of such tours for the Ur¬ban Problems Committee.

He ex¬plained that in its conception Skulland Crescent was a fraternity honor¬ary society for sophomore men, thattwo years ago 'its members decidedto include a number of independentmen in the group, but that this ex¬ception was not meant to establish atradition that made inclusion of anycertain number of independents com¬pulsory. It was decided that it wasthe right of each new group to decideif they wanted independents and that,since they knew the men in their ownclass, they would be able to make bet¬ter selections.

He willspeak on “The Effects of Posture onCirculation.” His second lecture willbe given tomorrow on “Osmotic Reg¬ulation in Certain Fresh Water Ani¬mals.”Dr. Krogh is head of the depart¬ment of Zoophysiology at the Univer¬sity of Copenhagen, and has honorarydegrees from Edinburgh, Harvard,Rutgers, and several continental uni¬versities. He is also a member of theRoyal Society, London, and of the Na¬tional Academy of Sciences at Wash¬ington, D.

Dr. EduardBenes outlined the theory and prac¬tice of Fascism, concluding by repeat¬ing his belief that the totalitarianprinciples will in the end be defeatedby those of democracy.“Fascism,” he stated, “while it isan absolute doctrine and rejects paci¬fism, democracy, and liberalism, nev¬ertheless has borrowed several beliefsfrom other forms of government. Itpreserves the idea of class groupingsfrom democracy, and it believes as docommunism and socialism, that socialbenefits should be for the masses.National Unity“In addition. Fascism is based on astrong national unity. The state isthe moral, economic and spiritualforce. There is practically no libertyas the state is the source of all au¬thority.“In Fascism the leader is the ex¬pression of the national will. He issurrounded by a sentimental and na¬tional halo that makes him reveredand almost synonymous with thestate.“Fascism further believes that de¬mocracy is not truly representativeof the national will. It is inevitable,the Fascists believe, that a few peo¬ple will gain control of the powerand will rule the country as an oli¬garchy or as a tyranny. In Fascismit is the belief that the leader trulyexpresses the wishes of the peopile.”Post-War ItalyCommenting on Fascism as it ispracticed. Dr. Benes stated that Italyemerged from the war dissatisfiedwith the results. They were eagerfor expansion and power which theybelieved could be obtained throughwar and military strength.The final lecture in Dr. Benes’ serieswill be delivered Monday when he re¬views National Socialism and com¬ments on the present condition ofdemocracy.Call Transfers forOrientation WorkTransfer Orientation counsellorswill be signed at a meeting to be heldtomorrow in Ida Noyes Library at 4.Rich Ranney and June Cover, mem¬bers of last year’s orientation commit¬tee, have been appointed by Mrs.Harvey Carr to guide the new com¬mittee which will be announced to¬morrow.The committee will choose as coun¬sellors people who, to quote Ranney,“have travelled the transfer path andwho are interested in seeing that fu¬ture transfer students are allotted aproper place in orientation activity^’ Tucker Dean Takes $50Prize with Essay on Hal-crow.As Ed Bates was named winner ofthe Erie Clothing contest.

Through¬out the last week the Daily Maroonoffice was looted of its papers by 10every morning; copies, if left for sub¬scribers at all, remained singularlyballot-less; in fact the campus hadgone on one mad campaign to win thecontest by any method available.The simplest was the use of theStudent Directory, a method sub¬scribed to by the usually more origrinal Betas, who had chosen six footfive Bill Corcoran as their man, solelybecause they thought Erie would havetrouble finding trousers long enoughfor their gangling lad.Daily Maroon Business managerMax Freeman, very much on the “in”as to the workings of the contest,transplanted all available ballots tothe Phi Psis who were pluggingbroad-shouldered Wiedemann for manof the day. Phi Psis started by in¬viting the Esoterics for lunch andasking politely for their signatures,then decided that this method wasdefinitely the hard way, and took tocopying the student directory.

Tick¬ets are on sale all day today in Man-del corridor and also at the door to¬night. “Ghosts” was originally sched¬uled for only one performance, butsuccess after the opening last weekdemanded the repeat performances.With the success of “Ghosts” comesa reorganization of the Dramatic As¬sociation. Heretofore, DA put on fiveplays, two in Mandel Hall, and Mir¬ror. Now in favor of the Workshop,the three plays normally given in theReynolds Club Theatre will be sus¬pended. Except for Mirror, a fall pro¬duction, and the spring revival, DAwill be entirely Workshop next year.William Randall, director of DA,would like to dispense with all pro¬ductions except Mirror, and concen¬trate on the Workshop. The newBoard, however, favors two produc¬tions in Mandel.

No one interfered withtheir choice of plays, no onetried to suggest their form of or¬ganization or their directorialpersonnel. It was a very demo¬cratic affair, with all those whoworked on the plays participat¬ing in the discussion of whowould run the Workshop organi¬zation. There were two basicprinciples — the work was to bedone by students entirely, andthe work was to be mainly ex¬perimental in nature. The suc¬cess or failure of these experi¬ments was a private matter, be¬tween the Workshop membersand their audiences.Since the campus’ enthusiasticreception of the first experiment,the production of Ibsen’s“Ghosts,” life is no longer free.The DA, which did not offermuch more than the use of itstheater when the Workshop wasfirst projected, has decided totake over the Workshop as partof the regular DA program. TwoDA productions will be cancellednext year, their place to be filledby regularly spaced Workshopperformances. Although TheWorkshop members have neverasked for such official DA sup¬port, it is being almost forcedon them.An interest on the part of theDA Board in a new developmentin dramatics would be totallycommendable, if it were not forthe fact that the Workshop cando better all by itself. If it isunder the direction of the DABoard, that group will have somesay in determining what playswill be produced and who willproduce them. The principle ofa 11 - student all-democratic pro¬duction will go down the drain,as soon as non-Workshop peoplehave the power to dictate Work¬shop policies. The experimentalideal will go just as fast, sinceif the DA is formally respon¬sible, the Workshop memberswill no longer be free to experi¬ment at will.The truth of these productionsis already apparent in the hintthat Grant Atkinson, who ismainly responsible for the or¬ganization of the Workshopgroup and for the success of itsfirst play, will not be allowed tocontinue as the group’s head. Ifthis hint becomes an actuality,Workshop members can expectmore interference with theirplans.One of the principle reasonsfor the favorable beginningwhich the Workshop has madeits complete freedom, and the Travelling BazaarWith the Blackfriars production of“Love Over the Line” only a memory,campus socialite.s look back again ona second successive week-end of ac¬tivity and excitement on the Quad¬rangles. Begun by the Pi Lams withtheir open house at Ida Noyes Fri¬day night, the Blackfriars seasoncame to an end with dances at thePhi Delt, Kappa Sig, Chi Psi, ZBT,Phi Sig and Pi Lam houses the fol¬lowing evening.Calling for their dates in a char¬tered bus and indulging in a bit ofcommunity singing while making therounds, the Phi Belts returned to ahouse decorated with comic strips,life-size imitations of Petty women.Wimpy, Popeye, and Jiggs, andjammed with student impersonatorsof the daily funny paper characters.Bob Gruhn walked off with honors inhis characterization of “Renfrew ofthe Mounted,” Royal Mounted policecostume and all. And then there wereGeorge Feiss with complete full dressattire minus the pants and DorisDaniels who won second prize withher “Daisy Mae” costume.Prominent in the mob were HowardHawkins and Laura Bergquist, JohnPunderson and Violet Adams, andDorothy Teberg with John Doolittlewho, incidentally seems to be givingBaird Wallis some competition.With beer literally flowing likewater until it ran out and had to bereplenished, the Chi Psis entertainedhundreds of campusites in their an¬nual Bohemian costume party. En¬livened by the presence of the entireBlackfriars cast and orchestra, theparty attracted anyone who wassomeone. The Psi U’s, Dekes, and Al¬pha Belts started there, graduallymaking the rounds of the other fra¬ternities. Roy Larson attended stiffas a “board” with a wooden stripnestling within his clothing. LonPorter came in his nightgown whileJean Grossman dazzled the malecompany with her chorus girl cos¬tume.Also seen under the Chi Psi circusBallots—(Continued from page 1)heels and waiting for the judges toselect either the Pi Lam or Phi Psicandidate since those fraternities rep¬resent Daily Maroon vested interests.Recruiting four office idlers to copynames, they divided up the Directory,and spent the evening in the Maroonoffice filling out ballots for JackGreen, a Pulse man, and DU’sCharles Crane. Exhausted after writ¬ing some thousand names, the foursuper-stuffers neglected to shufflethe ballots before filling the boxes.Saturday mornnig the judges count¬ed 694 votes for Green, 408 for Crane—all inserted in alphabetical order.The contest judges, well aware ofthe Student Directory method, count¬ed the ballots regardless of theirauthenticity, since it was almost im-sible to determine which names wereforged. When it was determined thatout of 4710 votes Ed Bates had re¬ceived 912, he was named winner.But in the Bates victory the campussaw a great moral, for Bates men hadcanvassed dormitories, libraries, andfraternity houses for students whohad as yet cast no votes, and whowere willing to join in for Bates.Essay ContestBecause essays are troublesome towrite, the essay section of the contestwas honestly carried out. The judges,Phil Schnering, George McElroy,Adele Rose and Maxine Biesenthal,awarded the four first prizes on thebasis of the excellence of the descrip¬tion of the best dressed man, ignoringthe actual wardrobe of the candidatedescribed. Dean’s essay stated that hethought George Halcrow is the bestdressed man “Because you don’t not¬ice his clothes as such. Unobtrusivelycorrect in pattern and color, meticu¬lously fitted, George’s clothes compli¬ment him without making him con¬spicuous.”Record EarthquakeAt Rosenwald StationA strong earthquake was recordedon the seismograph at the weatherbureau station in Rosenwald last Sat¬urday.

Speaking on “Co-operatives and aChanging World” before the Ellis Co¬operative, Maynard Krueger, assist¬ant professor of Economics, advocatedgreater unity between co-operativesand labor unions.Krueger stated that while he be¬lieved that co-operatives could servea useful purpose and that he himselfhad participated in the co-operativemovement, he did not think that theyalone can solve our basic problems.In order to help make way for a new’economic order, Krueger said, co-op¬eratives must be an “auxiliary tosomething more important.” Other¬wise, he declared, they will be merelythe “introduction of co-operative prin¬ciples into retail trade.”The speaker claimed that co-opera¬tives organized merely as a “pennypinching movement” will not end un¬employment, but will rather tend to“.steer people away from finding areal solution to the problem.” Kruegerheld that co-operatives as a part ofthe labor movement would tend tobring lower income groups together inmore activities and thereby help unitethe working class.In answer to a question regardingSwedish co-operatives, Krueger point¬ed out that they are not opposed tothe capitalistic system and are usuallyrepresented alone with industriali.stson chambers of commerce. He claimedthat some inaccurate material on Swe¬dish co-operatives was overpopular¬ized and that more recent scholarlyworks tended to take a more criticalviewpoint. The so-called Swedish pro¬ducers’ co-operatives—n o t a b 1 y thefamed light globe factory—he said,were examples of consumer co-opera¬tives extending their control over anindustrial plant but not operating itaccording to co-operative principles.

TheBadgers had a 4-3 lead with only twodoubles matches left on the programwhen the Wolverines pulled throughwith a victory to knot the count. Inspite of the fact that the third Wis¬consin tandem had a 5-1 lead in thethird set of the deciding match, whenthe results of the second match wereannounced, the news of their mates’loss was apparently too much forthem and they fell apart to lose theset, match and meet.Bob Cassels came awfully close toclearing the 14’1” bar to win the polevault in the Drake Relays, but hejust ticked it to end up in a tie.

It was Chicago all theway, the six Maroonmen taking theirmatches in straight sets.Chet Murphy started the count for“our side” with an easy win overDoug Coyle on the number one court.Chet’s steady stroking and experthandling of the Wisconsin man’s highlobs gave him the match. Droppingthe second game in each set, Murphywon 6-1, 6-1. Brother Bill lost a cou¬ple of games in the tussle on the sec¬ond court but stayed ahead all theway to win 6-2, 6-3.

Occasional gusts of wind ar¬riving at the wrong time made theMadison boy’s altitude shots hard tohandle.While the Murphy twins were busyin front of the stands, Charlie Sho-strom was enjoying himself on thethird court. Possibly irked becausehe had dropped a set to his Michiganopponent in the season opener beforecinching the match, Shostrom tore in¬ to Batzle’s game from the first serv¬ice. It was “point, game, set, andmatch” for Charles after a meager45 minutes of play. The score: 6-0,6-1. On the adjacent clay John Krie-tenstein used an application of AnnieOakley tactics in his net game. Op¬posed by Kreuziger, the Cardinal’ssteadiest man, Kreit stayed behindthe baseline, stroking from corner tocorner to dust the white lines witha consistency that gave him a 6-2, 6-0victory.“Pellet”Taking to the first clay after Mur¬phy finished his match. Art Jorgensonhad the crowd of frat men and theirfemale entourage applauding withmore than usual vigor. It was a hotmatch. Many a rally found both mencoming to net in the more heated pe¬riods of play. It was Jorgenson’s con¬sistency at the net that gave him theedge in these skirmishes.

The restricted area in whichthe Chicago Negro lives is the need¬iest of these communities. Douglasagrees with Horace Cayton who, in astudy prepared for the Universitysaid that there were three possibleremedies: rehabilitation of the com¬munities, Federal housing, or expan¬sion of the boundaries of the com¬munities.An immediate relief can be gainedfrom rehabilitation of these deterior¬ating, squalor - ridden communities.But, if houses are rebuilt, if apart¬ments built to accommodate one fam¬ily but now housing four or more arereturned to their original state it willmean the displacing of three families.Consequently there is a pressing needfor housing, but there is no hope forFederal housing to fill the gap. Mean¬while restrictive covenants betweenproperty owners prevent even tem¬porary expansion of the Negro com¬munity.Professor Douglas says that theremust be some relief for the over¬crowded conditions of the Negroes,that there is a need for more schools,more parks and recreational oppor¬tunities, and more hospital and rec¬reational facilities. He proposes acommission of 15 to be appointed bythe mayor, five of whom may be mem¬bers of the city council.Tennis Rackets$1.65 to $17.50Balls, Ptsssss. and all acestsorissShorts, Sox, Shirts, Shoss, stc.Most comploto stockWOODWORTH'S1311 E.
