Works has sent outletters to over 3000 Chicago males be¬tween the ages of 18 and 25. If thereare over ten of them who have theinclination, the health, and the neces¬sary 40 dollars, they will probablyget their wish, next quarter.Training .\ctThe 76th Congress passed a Civil¬ian Pilot Training Act last springwhich fostered a campaign in whicheducational institutions were given achance to co-operate with the govern¬ment and train students to fly. Thepurpose of the Act was to provide thenation with expert flyers in case of awar or other emergency and to fur¬ther extend the advances being madein the field of aviation. Questionnaireswere sent to colleges all ovei- thecountry. Along with many of theother big name schools, the Universityhad to send back a negative answerto questions which asked if it couldfill the requirements which the blue¬print gave.No Hetter F'acililiesBut a few weeks ago, the Univer¬sity administration .scanned the listof schools who had been accepted bythe Civil Aeronautic Authority, andsaw that many of them had no betterfacilities to teach pilots than the Uni¬versity. Then the Authority’s Chicagoexpert. Mr. Cox. called up and askedthe University why it could not co-oj)erate in the program.•After a discussion in which theUniversity found out that the specifi¬cations necessary for the schools tomeet were not as necsssary as the ail-ministration thought, it was decidedto see how strong student interestwas..And this is the point of the letter(Continued on page two)lienaissanveSiM'iety HoUhFirst ExhibitThe Renaissance Society of theUniversity holds its first exhibit ofthe year when it opens a show on‘‘.Modern Sculpture” today. The show¬ing will he held in the gallery ofGoodspeed every day including Sun-j(lay from two until five. jCo-chairmen for the exhibit, whichwill feature the works of ArchijH'nko,Biancusi, Henry .Moore, Call Millesand others, are Inez CunninghamStark and Katherine Kuh, both of theUenaissance Society. The exhibitshave been made up frc'in pieces con¬tributed by jnivate collectors in thecity. In addition to the sculpturi' theSociety will show drawings by Rodin.I.acbaise and Renoir. The last is aportrait of Rodin.(’ommenting on the plans for theyear, Inez Cunningham Stark, a for¬mer Renaissance Society president,said, “The Renais.sance Society in its |exhibitions for 193b-lJ)40 will postu¬late that art is timeless.” She added, j“the sources of contem|)orary ait arenecessarily universal by reason ofcontemporary acceptance on the partof artists of these devices of sciencewhich have eliminated time and space.Thes' sources the Renaissance So¬ciety hopes to trace for its friends invisual experience this season.”Today, the opening one, will beliighlighted by a tea held in Good-■^pe»‘d.

Conducts SurveyDKAN WORKSSun Valley SueA Girl for You-Who Who Who?Who goes to Sun Valley? The ques¬tion is nearer being answered, withnine fraternities, and six clubs nomi¬nating members whom they considerrepresentative students of the Uni¬versity of Chicago. Voting begins nextweek, and the man and woman whowill go to Sun Valley representingthe University of (’'hicago studentbody will be named in the Daily Ma¬roon of October 31.W yvern Club has nominated PeggyFlynn as its answer to “who goes toSun Valley.” Sigma is backing JanetGeiger, president of Inter-Club Coun¬cil, Mortar Board has named Clara-belle Grossman, and the Quadranglershave named Jean Phillips. Delta Sig¬ma has nominated Thelma Iselman astheir candidate, and the women inBeecher Hall have named Betty Cald¬well, a Chi Rho Sigma, as their ideaof the representative woman whoshould go to Sun Valley.Sun Valley for ('hristmasThe Daily Maroon, in connectionwith its sui)scription drive, is askingthe University to name the man andwoman whom they consider most rep¬resentative of the uni(jue educationaland social set-up of the University.The man and woman elected will besent to Sun Valley, Idaho, Union Pa¬cific’s new all-year outdoor playgroundfor a Christmas vacation. There theymay learn to ski under the guidanceof experts, may swim in warmedpools, and get a Florida tan in theprocess.F’urpose of the contest, the Maroonhas brazenly announced, are (1) tosell more subsciiptions, and (2) tosend the University’s most deservingman and woman to Sun Valley, tothe end that the Maroon may havethe funds to iiublish a better studentpai)er, and discover just what Uni¬versity students’ conception of a Uni¬versity student is.Two votes, one for a man and onefor a woman, go with each subserii)-tion purchased, and two votes go toa salesman for each subscription thathe sells.Serifel AinioiniresCliau*fes hi CastClark Sergei, director of the DA’sworkshop performance of “Aw'ake andSing”, today announced severalchanges and additions in the cast ofthe first show.Changes in cast include Dick Him-mel as Ralphie to replace LeonardTurovlin, Allan Greenman as Moesubstituting for Dick Himmel. Addi¬tions include David Pletcher as My¬ron and Chloe Roth, freshman beauty' queen contestant as assistant director.Rehearsals for the first workshopperformance of the year have beengoing on for a week in preparationfor the November 6, 7, 8 perform¬ances. The show is to be given in thetheatre of the Reynolds Club. As thestage there is considerably smalleri than that in Mandel Hall it is easilyI adopted to a play such as Odets’j “Awake and Sing.” Freshmen Meetto Plan ClassOre^anization \IIFreshmen interested in organizingtheir class will meet at 3:30 this after¬noon in Mandel Hall. The first suchmeeting, held last Thursday, heardex-president A1 Dreyfuss explain theadvantages and disadvantages of or¬ganization. Dreyfuss will presideagain this afternoon.A standing vote taken at lastweek’s meeting indicated that thefreshmen were almost unanimous intheir desire for some kind of organi¬zation, but all proposals for immedi¬ate action were met with varying de¬grees of disagreement. If there is aline of demarcation to be drawn be¬tween two factions of the class itwould divide those who want a puredemocracy from those who favor arepresentative form of government.The question should be the first andmost important of today’s meeting.After reaching a decision on thispoint the freshman may (1) arrangefor another general meeting if thepure democracy is agreed upon or (2)set up the machinery for the electionof a council in a representative struc¬ture.If the council form of governmentwins out the next important step willbe to confine the debate to the dis¬cussion of points relevant to makingthe election of the council an ac¬complished fact. Debate, such asmarked Thursday’s meeting, on theevils of the upperclassmen or on FredFrosh’s being too modest to draw apetition for himself should be com¬pletely suppressed. To accept (withany desired modifications) the pro¬gram set forth by the class of 1942 isapparently the best method for elect¬ing a council. That the freshmencould succeed iu setting up their ownelection machinery in an open meet¬ing is questionable.Several groups w'ithin the class areorganizing themselves into quasi-po-1litical parties. * Appoint WhitecottonNew Clinic HeadAdvises FreshmenAL DREYFUSSMaroon Plans toAdopt Spanish BabyA Spanish child will be adopted bythe Daily Maroon staff in co-operationwith the pi’ogram of the Foster Par¬ents’ Plan for War Children, it wasannounced today by board chairman,David Martin.The plan provides for the transferof Spanish war orphans from concen¬tration camps in France to orphanchildren camps of which eight or ninehave already been established.

Whenthe German troops marched into theRhineland he saw the advancinghordes through field glasses and sawthem that same day begin the dig¬ging of trenches and fortifications.Although it takes four weeks for aletter to arrive, he has heard frequent¬ly from friends close to many of thedanger spots of Europe, and, accord¬ing to their reports fighting is goingon with ever increased intensity. Butit is not the dramatic trench warfareof the first World War. It is slow,calculating, scientific warfare. And itis centralized xvarfare whose everymove is planned with mathematicalpiecision by the French commander-in-chief Gamelin and his staflT.“Both^ the Geiman and Frc'nchlines,” says Bloch, “have many trickdevices which would prove traps toan invader. In many of the towers,”he claims, “mines have been plantedwhich could destroy the towei- andthe men inside should it fall into thehands of the enemy.”Bloch made his decision to come toAmerica during the Abyssinian crisis.At that time he was assistant to therepresentative of Ethiopia in theLeague of Nations, and the attitudeof the great powers to the pleas ofthe little nation led him to despair forthe peace and security of Europe. Heconcluded his work for the Doctor’sdegree in Economics at the Univer¬sity of Paris and immediately soughtappointment in the United States.He believes we have at present par¬ticular but not general increases inproduction. “Thus,” he states, “therehas been increased production in steel,shipping and airplane companies dueto actual orders and in anticipation ofthe lifting of the embargo.” He re¬gards the first boom of the stock ex¬change as premature and concerned mainly with the purchase of war bab¬ies and their first cousins. “In thecommodity market there was an ex¬aggerated demand for wheat futures,”he explains, “but the allied nationshave a wheat supply sufficient for atleast a year, and in addition they havethe great resources of Canada todraw from.”“There will be much misdirectedspeculation due to the tendency tojudge this war by the last one,” heprophecies, but adds that “in Americathe cost of living will not rise ap¬preciably unless hysteria develops inother commodities as it develoi)ed insugar during the first days of thewar.”Bloch sees only complete destruc¬tion ahead for Europe and sees arenaissance of culture already a real¬ity in America. Moreover, he believesthis renaissance is due, not to themass importation of European genius,but to the vitality of the Americanartist in his own environment.‘Arrand Illusion^^Opens Film SeriesThe International House Autumnfilm seiies will open today when theF'rench war film, “Grand Illusion,”will be shown at 4:30 and 8:30. Star¬ling Ei'ic von Stroheim and JeanGabin, this movie is winner of theprize for the best foreign movie of1938.Billed as an indictment against war,this picture lacks the usual blood andthunder with which Hollywood anti¬war films drive home their point. In¬stead, set against a German andFrench background, there is an ex¬pertly and subtly acted piece aboutmen fighting for something they donot believe in.Prices for the movie are 35 centsat the afternoon showing, and 50cents at the evening performance. Onthe same bill will be a March of Timeentitled War, Peace, and Propaganda. From the mental grab bags of cam¬pus luminaries. Social Committeechairman Bob Reynolds freely pluckedsuggestions, ideas, and schemes forfuture student engagements yester¬day afternoon at a meeting of theexecutive council of the Student So¬cial Committee.The most plausible product of thisfirst gathering was a Christmas danceto be Maroon sponsored and givenDecember 7 at Ida Noyes. Reynoldsfeels the social depression for theaverage student between the end ofthe “C” book season and the upswingof Winter Quarter activities wouldbe brightened by such an affair.Pierre Palmer proposed the SocialCommittee buy blocks of tickets forthe various stage shows playing inChicago and sell these cut rate tostudents wishing to form theatreparties.Betty Caldwell would have excur¬sion bike trips this spring, similar tothose now poi)ular in the East. Muchlike the ski train idea, a group chartsa train into the country ideal forcycling and spend t,/»e day pumping.Thelma Iselman suggested the all¬student outings of several years backbe revived.Four Students toSpeak at LecturesMembers of the student body willgive four lectures in the field of socialanthropology as part of the SocialScience division’s public lecture seriesfor autumn. The series is to be heldat 4:30 in the Social Science -Assem¬bly Room on Tuesdays.Lecturers for the month of Novem¬ber will be .Alexander Spoehr who willdiscuss “Associations” on November 4,Donald Collier talking on “The Horsein the Plains” on the 21 and MalcolmCarr discoursing on ‘^Religion andMorality” on the 28.

Byers, Jr,Repeal the EmbargoIn the present world war oneof the most important factorsdetermining American securityand well being is time. Thattime when America could holdherself aloof from affairs of therest of the world is over—itstarted to go with the comingof the white man. Now, Amer¬ica’s actions affect the rest ofthe world; and that effect, soon¬er or later, bounds back to hitAmerica. The sooner this con¬flict is over the less Americaloses; the longer it lasts themore our chances of peace andprosperity suffer.The existing embargo on armsand ammunition is a recogni¬tion of the fact that isolationfrom other nations’ troubles isnow as impossible as it is pleas¬ant. But the embargo is behindthe times. That is the kindestthing which can be said aboutit.Yet there is much noise andshouting these days about keep¬ing the embargo. It may be in¬teresting, therefore, to investi¬gate just what about the lawmakes it so attractive. For themost part, embargo retainerssay theirs is the best way to pre¬serve neutrality, keep the Unit¬ed States out of war, avoid thedepression which would followany boom on the sale of wargoods, end the European conflictfaster, and ultimately preservedemocracy. These are all nobleaims, but it is difficult to under¬stand how the embargo can helpachieve any of them.In the first place “neutralitylaw” is a misnomer for the actof 19o5. Under present condi¬tions it is difficult to see justhow this bit of legislation doesAmerican neutrality any good, |It has been hashed and rehash¬ed so often in other publicationsthat American ships may stillcarry materials of war and un¬completed arms to belligerents;that these ships are likely to beattacked and so involve us in aM’ar; that this law really oper¬ates unfairly against certainpowers and aids others, that itshould be unnecessary to servethese arguments up cold in theDaily Maroon. It should he ap¬parent enough already that thislaw is neither neutral nor likelyto keep the United States out ofwar. Again it should be obviousthat if the rest of the world isinvolved in a post-war depres¬sion, America cannot isolate her¬self from the effects.The argument that retentionof the embargo would keep weapons from the belligerents |and thus end the war sooner is!a sinister one. Everyone knows jwhich side is weakened by hav- jing to divert so much of its time .and energy to manufacture ofarms which it wants to purchasefrom the United States; every¬one knows which side is profit¬ing from such weakness. Thisway of ending the war would bea strange way indeed of savingdemocracy! And is this the wayto preserve peace? As long as atotalitarianism is left strongenough to enforce its messageover the world no pause fromarms can be more than a recess.While the embargo seemsmore dangerous to us than use¬less, a cash and carry plan holdsout some hope that the UnitedStates may stay out of the waras long as she really wants to.And by helping the side shewants to win to do it faster,she can make it less likely thatAmerican students will have toleave their books for murder.Only once before in its historydid this country have an em¬bargo.

Tuesday:12, meeting of the photography groupBullSessionBy JIM PETERSONIn spite of these betrayals, sostrong was the mass pressure for col¬lective security that last spring theBritish and French leaders sent emis¬saries to Moscow to negotiate a tri¬power mutual assistance pact. Herethey vacillated and temporized. Fromtheir dilatoriness it became clear thatany real desire for mutual assistancewas lacking. During the course ofnegotiations Soviet leaders Zdhanovand Molotov criticized the cynicism ofthe allied emissaries. Voroshilov point¬ed out that Poland, via Beck, was ab¬solutely unwilling to accept Soviettroops on her soil. This was the onlymeans of really guaranteeing Poland.Remember that the Polish rulingclass, quasi-fascist and imperialist,was very much subject to pressurefrom British imperialism. It becameobvious that the stalling had a realpurpose: to drive the USSR into a warwith Germany and Japan. The fareastern “Munich” of this summer at¬tests to this. Out of an unmutualtreaty the British and French plannedto withdraw. Embroiling the USSRand world fascism in a war to destruc¬tion would have been the culmination,the bitter fruition, of “Munich” di¬plomacy.* *The USSR saw the trap. The rea¬sons for signing the pacts with Ger¬many are now completely obvious.The alternative would have been tofight a united capitalist onslaught—with the perspective of ultimateemergence of British and French im¬perialism in a position of world dom¬ination. This would have been the roadof socialism on the defensive, of re¬juvenated world imperialist conti'ol.Now the USSR is neutral. She hasprevented the Nazi seizure of thewhole of Poland. She has there liber¬ated the national minorities, oppressedfor generations under Polish semi¬fascist rule, and carried throughrevolutionary steps in creating So¬viets and dividing the land.

This made “Doc” madenough to turn in the best Maroonperformance of the day. He halted thefirst Crimson march by falling on afumble, then stopped them a secondtime by intercepting a pass. The thirdtime the visitors started a march theymeant business.Twice the ball carrier got throughthe secondary only to be stopped byJampolis, playing safety. On the nextplay, after a twelve yard gain off-tackle, Lee was hit by Davenport andJamoplis, but managed to toss a shortlateral to teammate Spreyer in theclear. “Doc” got to his feet andstopped what looked like a sure touch¬down with a spectacular flying tackleon the ten yard line.Wasem showed that he knows howto use his head in a pinch when hescooped up a loose ball deep in theend zone and saved a couple of pointsby running out of danger . . . Davvylooked good on some weak side bucks. . . Letts and Ottomeyer managed tocomplete nine forward passes, mostof which were thrown to the flankerfor short gains.* * *Altogether, however, the passingattack which Harvard had claimed tofear so much, was a terrific flop. TheCrimson alternated a seven-three-onedefense with a six-four-one, whichpretty thoroughly eliminated the ae¬rial threat. Eight interceptions to ninecompletions proves this.It is still pretty hard to tell justhow valuable Lounsbury and Richard¬son will be to the squad. The endplay was pretty poor all through thegame, but Louns and Rich were noworse than Miller and Parsons. Timeand again the end, who is supposedto take out the interference on endruns, would eliminate a maximum ofone interferer, thus leaving all thework for the defensive halfback.The backers up were also out¬classed. Part of the time good, hardblocking removed them, and part ofthe time they were running the wrongway, “chasing ducks”, completelyfooled by well-executed trick plays.The line was regularly outcharged,both on offense and on defense.*The thing that hurts the most aboutthe whole game is that Lee, wholooked like an All-American isn’teven a regular. He is a substitute fortheir captain and star, MacDonald,who didn’t even play.Team morale before the game can¬not be blamed for the defeat. MiltWeiss was obviously not cowed evenin the last quarter. After the game,he was the only man on the squadwho thought Chicago could beat Mich¬igan next Saturday.Trip FatalLeaving Cambridge to ride brakerods west to the Harvard-Chicagogame, Regnar E. Bird was founddead Thursday on the railroadtracks nead Syracuse, New York.Bird, a Harvard junior, turneddown an automobile ride to Chi¬cago in favor of riding the rods. Acoroner’s verdict stated that he hadmet “accidental death” when hewas either knocked from a movingfreight car as it went under anunder-pass or was struck down bya train as he picked his way alongthe ties. A badly beaten Maroon team leftthe field Saturday wondering whereits next victory would come from.Whatever hope Chicago might haveheld fc,” a fairly respectful season hadbeen abruptly shattered by Harvard’soverwhelming 61-0 defeat of the Ma¬roons.Completely outplayed in every de¬partment of the game, the Chicagoeleven was helpless against a sur¬prisingly strong team from the East.With their tackling ineffective, withtheir blocking looking miserable incomparison to the almost perfect in¬terference of Harvard, with theirpasses failing to click, Chicago wasno match for the Crimson tide.In all fairness, though, it must besaid that Harvard’s showing was farsuperior to all expectations. Ratedas an inexperienced aggregation thatneeded practice, it showed amazingimprovement in one week’s time.New PlaysRealizing that he was playing astronger team. Coach Shaugnessy haddevised several new plays, had shiftedhis men, and had employed a new of¬fense in an attempt to outmaneuverHarvard. His hopes and the players’hopes for a close game disappeared,however, when Harvard presented anew and unexpected defense forma¬tion and when Chicago failed to ex¬ecute its plays in a commendablestyle.In fact, it was probably the Ma¬roon’s misplays more than anythingelse that accounted for the worst beat¬ I-M GAMES3 DKE vs. Pi Lam3 Phi Psi vs. Sigma Chi3 Alpha Delt “B” vs. Phi Psi “B”4 Alpha Delt vs. ZBT4 Phi Delt vs. Phi Kappa Sigma4 Phi Delt “B” vs. Psi U “B”ing the University has suffered in its49 years of existence.For Harvard it w’as Gardella andLee who starred as the two crossedthe goaline five times. The other fourtouchdowns were made by Spreyer,Kelly, Divine, and Buckly.Gaining most of its yardage on theground, Harvard scored twice in eachquarter, three times in the final pe¬riod. Their scores came mainly as theresult of long runs since the Chicagoline was unable to stem the Crimsontide.Florris Beauty ShopWhere you will meet your best friends“The shop where beauty work is anArt, not just a job."Phone Foiriox 03095523 KenwoodSensible Prices All we ask is a trialThey’re Here"IT'S FORD FOR '40"FORDMERCURYLINCOLN-ZEPHYRALSOAll Makes of GuaranteedUsed CarsJ.
