RVIUNSUniversity students have been rob¬bed, assaulted and almost kidnappedwhile in close proximity to the Uni¬versity! Within the past few monthsat lea^t four such crimes have beencommitted and iThne of these has evenbeen mentioned by either the campuspress or the downtown papers.The truth is that several of the pa¬pers knew of the.se crimes, but had a^jood reason for not printing them.On the niffht of September 30 a so¬cial science research assistant, Har¬old Elstein, was proceedinp: downKenwood at 11:15. In the middle ofthe block a black limousine pulled upto the curb, a man carryiii); a flash-lijrht pot out and tried to pull Elsteininto the car. Elstein resisted, yelledhis head off, and was told to shutup- -or else. Elstein persisted and in theconfusion attempted to pet away, butwas sent sprawlinp by the bandit,who then e.scaped to the waitinp auto¬mobile.* * it>The latest and what was probablythe last in the series of Universitycrimes occurred a few days later toOlom, an assistant to Professor Mer-riam. As Olom was poinp downHlackstone near International Househe was accosted by a robber whoseeminply leapt from the bushes andshot off a blank pistol in Olom’s face..\s a result, the scare preventedOlom from identifyinp the thief, whotook five dollars from the student.These incidents do not sUind alonein the record of recent crimes com¬mitted brazenly in the vicinity of theUniversity. Previous to this a student,lackinp prudence went walkinp inWashinpton Park in the early morn-inp. The student was attacked bythree Neproes, severely beattm andleft lyinp unconscious in the park.Perhaps he did not know that Wash¬inpton Park has a delinquency ratinpof 13.4 as compared with the medianfor the city which is 2.7..•\bout the same time another minorcrime occurred when a social scienceassistant was robbed on Stony Island•Amonp the thinps stolen were threebaseball tickets which were tracedback throuph three hands to a Neprobartender who claimed he receivedthem in leturn for some drinks.♦ ♦ ♦Hut not a word of any of thesecrimes was carried by the press. AsLincoln Steffens once explained—notall robberies are committed for themoney involved. .And bandits whoknow anythinp at all about their busi¬ness know enouph not to bother withstudents. All this makes some observ¬ers think that these were put-up jobs,a part of a bip political move forpuiposes of blackmail. There arethose who mipht profit from a “crimewave’’ in the University district forsuch a condition would certainly hurtl)olitical ambitions held by politiciansin authority in the district.It seems that this little “crimewave” has been broupht abruptly toa clo.se, that students may apain walkthe streets after niphtfall and thatthe absence of publicity in the i)ressmay have been the cause./nt-Hoases IssueFall EditionOf QuarterlyP.y DICK HI.MM ELThe International House Quarterlymapazine came out this week in anissue that went to press before theoutbreak of the war, an apolopeticintroduction explains.

That money is scarceis bewailed by President Hutchins onevery state occasion.Not that the University hasn’t beenmakinp pood use of the money it has.Apparently the University has beendoing as pood Jis—or a better—job ofeconomy than other colleges and uni¬versities. But recurring income hasnevertheless declined severely. It isnot a new problem but any solutionmust be new.Reasons stressed for the lack of in¬come are (1) the terrific decline inthe rate of return on investment—adecline that makes a million dollargift for endowment worth only abouttwo-thirds of what it was in 1931. Ineffect, because of this decline, theUniversity has lost in income a sumequal to something like $20,500,000of its 1931 endowment. (2) The otherreason for too little money is thatdonors—bip and little—have sufferedfrom declining interest rates and havethemselves, little to give.Cut Budget $1,500,000In order to adjust itself to reducedincome, the University has cut itsoperating budget by $1,500,000 an¬nually since 1931. This was done bylarge scale elimination of courses—made possible by the adoption of thenew plan — by increased teachingloads without extra compensation forthe faculty, by leaving unfilled thepositions of professors who leave, die,or are retired, and by cutting adminis-strative salaries 10 to 20 per centFaculty salaries, however, were nottouched.Still the University has had to drawon reserves to carry on its work.These reserves will be exhausted by1941 if the drain continues at thepresent rate.Need New SolutionThe problem is old but a new solu¬tion must be found. The solution maycome out of the 50th AnniversaryCelebration.

Hehas published a book, l^nion Now, onthe subject.U. S. historv under the federationplan of union is offered as proof thatthe plan is practical. First step in theformation of a World Federal Union,would be the uniting of the fifteenleading democracies—Australia. Bel¬gium, Canada, Denmark, Finland,France. Ireland, Netherlands, NewZealand, Norwav, Sweden. Switzer¬land. Union of South Africa, UnitedKingdom, and the United States. Thatfifteen independent countries can beunited, proponents of the plan claim,was proven when thirteen independentcolonies formed the U. S.Paralleling U. S. history, the nextstep would be the adoption of a con¬stitution and the setting up of ademoci-atic world government. Stillfollowing history, the member statescould then expect security through“strength in numbers”; prosperitythrouph free trade; and liberalismthrouph constitutional guarantees.Favorable conditions within thefedei’ation would attract the peoplesof other states. Upon fulfilling cer¬tain conditions new states would beadmitted. Colonies of present em¬pires would be admitted as stateswhen they qualified.Backers of the plan emphasize thatmember states would remain sover¬eign. Emphasis is also put upon thefact that practically every point of op¬position to the plan was also raisedin the early days of this country.Possible or impossible, the WorldUnion Plan has attracted much atten¬tion. There is a society in New Yorkand other cities, the World FederalUnionists, which is advertising theplan all over the country.Buchshmiui ClaimsCochroaeh Lacks4 ppreciationThe cockroach enjoys the benefitsof twentieth century human civiliza¬tion, but he doesn’t appreciate them.Dr. Ralph Buchsbaum, instructor inZoology at the University, pointedout in a lecture last night.“Human beings create and enjoy anadvance in civilization with each gen¬eration, but to a cockroach a stream¬lined kitchen sink is no better orworse than a hollow lop,” Dr. Buchs¬baum said.By Instinct“The roach’s whole life was laidout by instinct centuries before por¬celain was invented, and the advan¬tages of porcelain, which are a boonto humans, mean nothing to the roach,who has one set of responses forwhatever surface he walks on.”Dr. Buchsbaum spoke on “Man’sInvertebrate Ancestors,” the secondof ten lectures at the Art Instituteby members of the University’s Bi¬ological Sciences division.“Even though the cockroach is amember of the arthropods, the high¬est group of invertebrate animals, heshares the inability to learn of all in-yertebrates,” Dr. Buchsbaum said.Invertebrates which have no spinalcolumn, include 95 per cent of allanimals he pointed out. Amebas, jelly¬fish, sponges, oysters, worms, and in¬sects were cited as typical membersof the group./Page Two(iHaroonFOUNDED IN 1901MF.MBEK ASSOCIATED COLLEGIATEPRESSTb« Daily Maroon is tlie official studentnewspaper of the University of Chicago,published moraings except Saturday, Sun¬day and Monday during the Autumn,Winter and Spring quarters by The DailyMaroon Company, 6831 University avenue.Telephones: Hyde Park 9221 and 9222.A'ter 6:30 phone in stories to ourprinters.

True to its aimof giving some opportunity forsocial life, at this notoriouslycold and unfriendly University,particularly to those who don’tbelong to any social organiza¬tions, the Student Social Com¬mittee has planned a cut-in con¬test for the “C” dance Fridaynight.As everyone knows, this planis designed to give men withoutdates a chance to participate inthe dance just like everyone else.But the advantages of the con¬test don’t end there. So thatwomen who donate their serv¬ices to this bit of social workmay receive more reward thanthat which naturally accompan¬ies the performance of any vir¬tuous deed, they will be givena ticket for each cut-in, and theone with the most tickets gets aprize. Also, the club with themost tickets gets a prize. It isimmediately obvious, of course,that all University women willvie with one another cheerfullyin this good clean social service.And think of the congenial re¬lationships the contest shouldfurther among the clubs! Atlast different groups will worktogether in a common cause.Maybe the winner can go to SunValley.Merely as an educational ven¬ture this dance is to be com¬mended, It should help preparestudents for situations they mayencounter in their daily livesoutside of school; and it shouldprovide an insight into the com¬petitive nature of life, the strug¬gle for existence that goes on inthe w'orld. No longer will criticsbe able to say the Universityfails to provide practical andprofessional experience.But all this pleasant and prof¬itable activity is merely inci¬dental advantage. It cannot beemphasized too strongly that the“C” book dances were institutedto give the part of campus with¬out many other opportunitiesfor collegiate life a chance todance informally. It is evidentthat the contest does the irick.University women, whereverthey are will slam theirbooks shut Friday night,come out of their cor¬ners, dash down the librarysteps and over to Ida Noyes totry their luck at picking up themost tickets.

The formation of the Civil Lib¬erties Union on campus, Jim Peter¬son’s letter flatly stating that theserestrictions are preparation for bar¬racks on the Midway, Hugh W’estdn’snaive question in Thursday’s Maroon—all are indications of this interestand the speculation which it givesrise to.We have a right to know how theadministration stands.Last Tuesday Louis Budenz chal¬lenged President Hutchins, the facul¬ty, and the administration to raisetheir voices in defense of civil liber¬ties and to give America evidencethat the University is as progressiveas its reputation. To date the Uni¬versity has been silent.If the administration takes up thischallenge, everybody to whom the billof rights is more than a piece of pa¬per will heave a sigh of relief.If not, then Weston’s questions arcanswered, and Peterson’s accusationsare given substance.Lorraine Lewis.Problem—(Continued from page one)nounced tomorrow.“A fine balance has now beenreached,” reports President Hutchins,“between economy and the sacrifice ofeducational efficiency.” Any furthercuts may seriously harm the Univer¬sity—may cause a blackout of an es¬timated 11 per cent of the Univer¬sity’s activity.From where may these cuts come?For the next two years, it can comefrom the reserves for contingenciesset up by the University’s conserva¬tive accountants, and from a specialfund set aside for emergencies by theRosenwald fund.. . . Eliminate Part of UniversityAfter that, unless interest ratesshoot miraculously up, it will have tocome either from higher tuition rates—the University frowns on raisingthe basic rates because it is proud ofbeing a poor man’s school and becauseit doesn’t want to have to depend onthe whims of the student body. Or“an appreciable part of the Univer¬sity can be eliminated in order toleave it solvent after 1941.” The Uni¬versity of Chicago would then con¬tinue, but it wouldn’t be The Univer¬sity of Chicago.The alternative to these alterna¬tives is a new source of income. Onenew source of income will be thealumni. TravelingBazaarPresident Hutchins entertained 75guests at lunch Saturday, and thentook them all to see the game.

Daniel A. Prescott, profes-mu- of Education at the University,is now well started on his three-yearproject of assembling into a centralcollection at the University all avail¬able research data on the emotional,physical, and mental development ofadolescents. No such collection is nowavailable.Dr. Prescott is head of the Divisionof Human Growth and Development,a branch of the American Council onPalucation which is sponsoring theproject as an important contributionto the improvement of teacher train-iim throughout the country.Call ConferenceThe project was launched early inthe quarter at a conference of 13 edu¬cational leaders from outstanding in¬stitutions over the country. This firstgroup of collaborators, under the di¬rection of Dr. Prescott, will spend ayear sifting material on thousandsof studies on the growth and devel¬opment of children, organizing andcorrelating it so that it may be madeavailable to a large group of teacher¬training institutions over the country.Part of National Program“The work is being carried out forthe purpose of obtaining a much-needed improvement in educationalmethods and teacher training, and ispart of a national program of the('outuil’s Commission on Teacher Ed¬ucation,” stated Dr. Prescott.He also explained that the work“involves setting up a center of docu¬mentation. at which will be assembledthe wealth of research findings thatare constantly being published. Alsoa large number of unpublished casestudies will be collected from variousresearch centers and child welfare agencies scattered over the country.”Emotion in EducationDr. Prescott came to the Universitylast spring from Rutgers Universitywhere he was a professor of Educa¬tion. He is regarded as the country’sloading authority on emotion in edu¬cation, and last year published a study‘‘Emotion and the Educative Process”in which he established the impor¬tance of the emotions of the child inall his activities, particularly inlearning. In this book he has ex¬pressed a theory, based on four yearsof research, that the emotions canbe trained. U. S. education, he feels,attempts to train minds and bodies,but allows emotions to develop asthey will. The high rates of divorce,crime, insanity, and general neurosesare the results of this neglect, he be¬lieves. He proposes that the schoolspay as much attention to the chil¬dren’s emotions as to the three R’s.Grene-(Continued from page one)of .Athenian commerce and extendingcolonization, and preoccupied with anattempt to unite other democraticleaders against the reformist oligar¬ch c tendencies exemplified by Sparta..A dictatorship rather than a democ¬racy, however, the Peisistiatus gov¬ernment was overthrown by the in¬trigues of the oligarchical group.They in turn were unable to consoli¬date power, and with Clisthenes, whoinaugurated a system of township div¬ision in place of the old blood-brothertribes, and began the first Athenian.system of proportional representation,came the dawn of Athenian democ¬racy.VISIT THE SENSATIONAL, NEWPANTHIR ROOMOF THE COllESE INN★The Greatest Trumpeter Since Bix BeiderbeckeHARRY JAMESAND HIS ORCHESTRAALSO THE FAMOUSOOOeiE WOOOIESSWINGING ON THE IVORIESNo Cover Charge at any timeNo Minimum except Sat. nights.

The remain¬der are almost certain to be the lastto be hired and there are several hun¬dred thousand who will be hired be¬fore thprn.”Must Collect TaxesHe then expressed the hope “.. .thatthe citizens will let Governor Horneiknow they are concerned in this trulyterrible situation and will ask thatmore funds be made available for re¬lief.” He pointed out that delinquenttaxes here were proportionally fivetimes as great as in New York.The collection of these taxes wouldprovide large sums w’hich could beused for relief purposes.Other measures which would helpalleviate the situation, according toDouglas, would be increased munici¬pal and state appropriations, andeconomies in city administration. Int-House—(Continued from page one)His section on Chicago’s Internation¬al House was evidently written afterthe outbreak of the war and discussesevents in light of the war instead ofin relation to agriculture which seemspredominate in the issue.W’ellard tells mainly of the summerat Int House with its tennis gamesand folk dances. Also there are littleitems about the ebbing population.Dennie MacEvoy rates several lines,and so do Leslie Lieber and Noel Mc¬Grath.Benson on SharecroppersMost familiar name on the cover toChicago people is that of PurnellBenson, local Socialist. In his storyon the sharecropper he hashes overthe stock Socialist and Communistlines about the “awful South” andonce in a while he dips into clichesand refers to “tumbled down shacks.”To radicals the article will be hotstuff if they happen to like Benson.To “dyed in the wool reactionaries”the story will be only “just somemore of that stuff.” Like all stories,however, it is well written and lacksto be expected purple passages.Roger Levy has written a light bitabout the average Frenchman andwhat he thinks. Undoubtedly muchof the flavour has been lost in trans¬lation, yet thei-e is enough to give avital portrait of M. Tonnetot and hisFrance.Most timely is Richard Truszkow-ski’s story entitled, “A Scientist Looks at Himself.” He discusses theattitudes of today’s leaders (i.e. Hit¬ler, Stalin, and Mussolini) toward thescientist, and then intelligently andinterestingly bemoans his fate.Also in the magazine are storiesby Kurt Bloch, J. Schwarzwalder,Benjamin Bornstein, and William Car¬ter.P R-E-OA L A CRandolph At LaSalle ETOMORROW—THE FUNSHOW OF THE YEAR HITSCHICAGO!—On The Screen—GINGERROGERSIn Her Latest Comedy'TIFTH AVE.

Loyal Tingley, na¬tional chami)ion and Mid-west title-holder, and Captain .Alex George willlead the Maroon swordsmen into com¬petition. Tingley is an epee man, andGeoi’ge works with the foil.Freshmen ReportAs in football, there is a big turn¬out of freshmen for this sport, 35in all. Due to the lack of practice,however, Hermanson hasn’t much ofa slant on them, but he does expectsome good men to come from theseranks.The matches are divided into threeevents—epee, foil, and saber. Ting¬ley, Donnelly, and James constitutethe epee group this year. Jim Cor¬bett’s illness creates a big gap in thisdivision, however.The foil men besides CaptainGeorge are McClintock, Ruben, Fritz,and Gladstone. MacDonald, Siever,Molkup, Glasser, Straetz, and Rosen-feld are the saber-wielders. f Varsity-FrosliRivalry Grows“First and ten; second and four;first and ten ...” Such has been thechant of the head linesman at theVarsity-Freshman scrimmages thisweek, for the yearlings have been ableto gain consistently through andaround the first stringers.In Tuesday’s practice, the freshmenshowed the Varsity up unmercifully,both offensively and defensively forabout three quarters of the time al¬lotted for scrimmaging. Then, led byMilt W eiss, Dick Lounsbury, andSmoky Joe Stearns, the first teamsnapped out of its apathetic lethargyto literally smear the precociousfrosh.This rally was a source of satisfac¬tion to every one on the coachingstaff, even the freshman mentors whowere rooting for their charges, for itshowed, they said, that if the Ma¬roons got mad, fighting mad, theycould play real football.f11\t CTS Wins Season Opener^ S2-0; |Phi Gams and Psi U^s Ref^ister i Player’s List—Three men are on the injured listand one more has been added to theactive ro.strum as the Maroon teamcontinues to prepare for the MichiganPhi Gamma Delta, Psi Upsilon, andChicago Theological Seminary wontheir respective intramural touchballgames yesterday, the Phi Gams witha 25-0 win over Phi Sigma Delta, PsiUpsilon with a 6-0 score over theBetas, and CTS with a 31-0 victoryover the Nu Beta Epsilon in the open¬ing game of the independent season.Today’s Games3:00—Delta Kappa Epsilon vs. SigmaChiKappa Sigma vs. Pi LambdaPhi.Alpha Delta Phi “B” vs. PsiUpsilon “B”■1:00—Alhpa Delta Phi vs. Phi KappaSigmaChi Psi vs. Zeta Beta TauDelta Kappa Epsilon “B” vs.Phi Kappa Psi “B” The Phi Gams made it two in arow in their clash with the Phi Sigsmainly due to the sterling play of .ArtLopatka, one of Kyle .Anderson’s bet¬ter pitchers.
