No. 22 oPbe Baflp illanjonTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1939 Price Three CentsKappaSigma* * * IBy JOHN STEVENS |The laiTrest national fraternity rep¬resented to the Interfraternity com¬mittee is Kappa Siprma. The first ofits 110 chapters was founded at theUnivi'Tsity of Virginia in 1869, and itsChicago chapter was established in1903.This chapter with 23 actives andseven pledges is strongest in thesophomore and junior classes. The ac¬tivity in which Kappa Sig has thegreatest representation is Blackfriars,over half of the 13 sophomores hav¬ing participated in last year’s showoither in the chorus or as membersof the stage crew. Also Kappa Sig isthe only house U) have two juniormanagers.* * *In addition to heavily supportedBlackfriars, a number of the soph¬omores have recently started to workon varied activities. Bob Afto i andChuck Schlageter, both members ofBlackfriars, just began working in theDramatic Association. Schlageter alsoserved as a freshman counsellor andon the intramural staff. Pledge BillChapin, who has put in time at theV. of C. Settlement, signed up for theMaroon on Monday, but has not beenheard of since, and Tom Green re¬cently joined brother A1 Schnoor onthe Pulse staff. Both of them areBlackfriars and members of the Chap¬el Union, and Schnoor is a sophomoreintramural manager.Swimmer Lou Kaposta took timeoff from water polo to help on the edi¬torial department of the Cap andGown and work on the stage crew ofBlackfriars, while pledge A1 Bielakand Walt Barlow, the remainingFriars chorines, shot on the rifle team.Barlow also went out for wrestlingbut failed to win his numerals. JackEdelbrook, circulation manager of theDaily Maroon, is on the rifle team.Bruce Grotts, Jack Pfeiffer, and KeithReckord have no activities.Kappa Sigs selected their busiestjunior to head their rushing commit¬tee. Walter Kurk is a Blackfriarsjunior manager in charge of company,a junior intramural manager, and afreshman counsellor. Harry Read theother Friars junior heads the tech¬nical department of the show and hasworked back-stage on Mirror. NormFoster, orchestra leader, has seen ac¬tion at two big fall dances, the Es¬quire and Hard Times parties. BillPauling and Randolph Snively havealso been active on campus, while.senior J. Gordon Henry won a PhiBeta Kappa key in the law school.* * *.•\thletically Kappa Sig is weak.There are no major or minor letter-men in the house, but several of thebrothers have tried out for the wres¬tling and rifle squads.Last year Kappa Sigma’s seventhplace scholarship ranking was onenotch above average. In intramuralsthe brothers placed close to the bot¬tom, rating twelfth of 16 houses.Although pro-rated figures makeKappa Sig the fourth most expensivefraternity, its report for the DailyMaroon seems to indicate that itshould be lower on the list. Brothersliving in the house pay a monthly billof $53, while actives not living in thehouse pay only $16.60. Pledges pay$2.50 less. Although there are specialassessments to cover social activitiessuch as the Christmas party held ev¬ery spring, house president Clint Bas-ler says they average only about twodollars per quarter. The initiation feeof $5T) is low.Lawrence Judd TalksOn Hawaii and PacificWhat the Territory of Hawaiimeans to the United States from aneconomic and political standpoint willbe the theme of the Honorable Law¬rence M. Judd, former governor ofHawaii, when he speaks next Wed¬nesday at 4:30 in the Social ScienceAssembly Room. Member of a dis¬tinguished Hawaiian family, he wasappointed governor of Hawaii in 1929and held office until 1934. His subjectwill be “Hawaii—Pivot of the Pacific.

Resolution 89 in the Houseof Representatives” providing thatthere be an amendment to the Consti¬tution that the sole power to declarewar be in the hands of the people.Introduced by Louis Ludlow, Repub¬lican, of Indiana.Last year Congress refused to passthis bill. Last year the Gallup pollshowed that the majority of theAmerican people were for it. Lastyear, former presidential candidateAlf M. Landon, sided w’ith the ad¬ministration in asking that the Lud¬low’ Amendment b<» defeated,j What to DoThis year, with a w’ar in Europe,the problem of what the UnitedStates should do if a national crisisarises is even more serious, and theLudlow Amendment is again undercon.sideration.To give students a chance to discussthe pros and cons of the proposednational amendment. Political Unionis meeting this afternoon in LawNorth to consider and vote on thedefeated Hou.se Joint Resolution.Discarding party lines, as did Con¬gressmen while the bill was being dis¬cussed, a Liberal will join with aCommunist in asking that the bill bepassed. Another Liberal will linkhands with a Conservative in re¬questing that Congress retain its tra¬ditional prerogative to issue a dec¬laration of war.j Five Minute SpeechesI Speaking for the Amendment willj be Liberal Political Union neophyteI Monroe Fein, and Communist Edith: Witt.

Iron Mask PromisesHonest BallotingIn Queen ElectionMainly concerned at the momentwith the honesty of their beautyqueen election, Iron Mask last nighttook insurance measures against pos¬sible aftermath derision by decidingto invite David Martin, chairman ofthe Maroon Board of Control, andEmil Hirsch, Pulse editor, to partici¬pate in the counting of ballots nextWednesday evening, following theelection that afternoon.Other similar preventative steps in¬clude the need of a tuition receipt forfranchisement, and the vigilance ofIron Mask members, who will workin shifts of twos at the ballot box inMandel between 8:30 and 3:30.Whether from force of habit or asour grapes complex, most beautycontests of this type here have everrun into post election claims of fixingor ballot box stuffing. No squawkwas heard after Pulse conducted itsearly October freshman beauty queencontest, but last spring Cap andGown mired itself badly with a pro¬motional stunt of the same nature.Joan Lyding, who finally won, andBarbara Phelps were both reportedin sneak stories to the down townpapers as winners.Last year’s homecoming was fea¬tured by the appointment of not onlya queen, but for the first and onlytime, the election of a homecomingking. This honor, because of physi¬cal difficulties, w’ent to each of theMurphy twins.The queens, two chosen to repre¬sent each elass, are: Doris Alt, FaithJohnson, Betty Jane Nelson, JeanPeterson, Ruth Steel, Helen Bickert,Jane Myers, and Charlotte Rexstrew.The winner will be presented Fri¬day, November 10, at the Homecom¬ing dance, night before the Ohio Stategame. Prices for the dance are $1.10per couple, $.75 stags, and $.40 percouple lor those who carry “C” books.Iron Mask men, several Skull andCrescent members, and a number offreshman representatives are sellingtickets.The dance will be the first of theyear to be presented in the CloisterClub of Ida Noyes. Earlier Social Cdances have all been held in the gym¬nasium.Cate Delivers FourthPublic Lecture in LawConfining his discussion to WesternEurope, and ignoring the Byzantineempire, James L. Cate, assistant pro¬fessor of Medieval History, deliveredthe fourth of the Law School’s publiclectures yesterday afternoon. Hissubject was “Law in Medieval So¬ciety.”Beginning with the po.stulate thatthe function of law is to provide theindividual with the maximum amountof freedom consonant with the bestinterests of society, Cate said thatmedieval law provided neither a greatdeal of freedom for the individualnor any conspicuous order in society.This lack of order, however, did notcome from the medieval man’s lackof respect for the law, but from theweakness of those extra-legal sanc¬tions necessary to every system.Possibly as a direct result of thisweakness, the complexity and multi¬plicity of legal systems is the mostimportant characteristic distinguish¬ing medieval law from the primitiveperiod on the one hand, and themodern on the other hand.Three Sources ’of LawThe sources of medieval law werethree—German, canonical, and Roman,with the latter exerting the greatestinfluence. The German, or barbarian,conception of justice was character¬ized by the “eye for an eye” philos¬ophy, and by a strictly classifiedsystem of money payment in expia¬tion of crime.The traditional trials by compurga¬tion, by ordeal, and by battle werecommon, and in the courts themselvesjudicial procedure was oral and ex¬tremely formalistic. The slightestslip of the tongue could serve tothrow’ a case out of court.Roman LawThe effect of the more cotlified Ro¬man law upon this system was tobring about the substitution of ter¬ritorial law for the older Frankisn idea of personal law. Under the lat¬ter, any man could chose the legalsystem by w’hich he wished to begoverned, and travel from one end ofthe known world to the other under itsprotection, regardless of the customsof the communities through which hepassed. By the Ninth century theprecedence of territorial law had beengenerally recognized, and it was the(Continued on page three)Biirke Heads CivilLiberties UnionCommitteeThe Civil Liberties Union, newlyorganized to protect civil liberties oncampus, and to educate the studentbody to comprehend their civil rights,elected its permanent executive com¬mittee yesterday. Vincent Burke ischairman with Max Nicolai, BudBriggs, Laverne Tess, Irving Sheffel,Hyman Minsky, and Ruth Neundorf-fer as official members of the com¬mittee.

Invited toa late meeting, was Maury Maverick,former Congressman and presentmayor of San Antonio, Texas. Mr.Maverick is a progressive mayor, be¬lieving in a clean political regime:meaning no graft or corruption. Hestarted this revolutionary programby importing a new chief of police,one who knew few people in SanAntonio, who is morally and finan¬cially incorruptible. Maverick is aleader in Civil Liberties Committeesin Texas. Wright, C And G Head,Announces ShakeupARETA KELBLEWorkshopPlayOpens TuesdaywithNewcomersWith the premiere showing of“Awake and Sing” scheduled for Tues¬day, the Workshop cast, dominated bynewcomers, is now putting finishingtouches on the production.Jacqueline Cross and Edde Arm¬strong have the main ingenue roman¬tic leads, playing Hennie and Moe.Miss Cross, a sophomore, is doing herfirst part for DA by tackling the dif¬ficult role of the tough Hennie. Arm¬strong, being a freshman, is also anewcomer.Demarest Polacheck, who has thepart of wise and cynical Jacob, is arecriut from the defunct ASU theatre.While in that group Polacheck had hisgreatest" success in the mass chantsput on in the 1937-38 season. Capableand well-trained, Polacheck is perhapsthe most finished player in the cast.Other NewcomersBob Schiller, George Schloss andAlice Kolisch are the other newcom¬ers on the bill. Alice Kolisch, a trans¬fer from Northwestern, has the roleof Bessie, the mother. Although thepart is essentially a character one, therole of Bessie lends itself to individ¬ual interpretation. Schloss and Schil¬ler, as Feinschriber and Unde Morty,have minor but important roles.Dick Himmel and David Pletcher,the only experienced DA’ei’s in thecast, have the parts of Ralphie andMyron. Himmel was Oswald in“Ghosts”, acted in Mirror and had aminor role in “The Doctor In Spite ofHimself”. Pletcher, a junior, lastplayed in the “Cat and Canary” andwas the father in the second Woidc-shop production of last year, “TheDoctor In Spite of Himself”.Clark Sergei, the director, producedthe first Workshop play, Ibsen’s“Ghosts”.

Ernest LeiserNight Editor: John Stevens TravelingBazaarSince yesterday’s column by gentleRichard Himmel surveyed the field offeminine values completely and in¬tensively, today’s column is intendedto treat conclusively of the oppositesex, and perhaps with some betterclaim to authority. Today on theQuadranglesThere is a typical man, now. If Gor¬don Murray, Sun Valley winner, istypical then he shouldn’t attend theBusiness school which is atypical. Hecould be a fraternity man and getthe grades he does (?) but in addi¬tion he should wear glasses, study alot, and be so broke that all he canafford is one girl once every otherweek.Then take Richard Himmel. As aman he is unexciting; as a Personalityhe is IMPORTANT.An AdditionTo The SchoolThe new ground trainingcourse for fl.ving will be part ofthe University’s curriculum be¬fore this quarter is over. Be¬ginning in December, instruc¬tion in aerodynamics, naviga¬tion, aviation law, and meterol-ogy will be offered in the divi¬sion of the Physical Sciences.Credit for the aeronauticscourse will count either towardsa degree in physical science oras an elective in other divisions.If national emergency makesit necessary to train students tofly no good citizen can have anyvalid objections. But it is notclear that the need for aviatorsis so pressing that educationalinstitutions must perform thisservice. Dean Works has ex¬pressed surprise at hearing thatsome people think the Univer¬sity wants to prepare studentsfor war.Anyone familiar with Presi¬dent Hutchins’ educational the¬ories must be surprised lo findthe University going in forlearning so vocational in nature—especially at the higher divi¬sional level. Does the flyingcourse sound as if it is going topursue truth for its own sake?What intellectual virtues willit develop? Or is some-making puns withone [ Then take glamour men like fresh-' man Bob Lawson (he and Janet Wag¬ner—). They NEVER become WiltedLilies.Now Richard Himmel says that hedoesn’t know what this column means.Maybe he’s all right, but just inno¬cent. It certainly isn’t true w’hat hesaid about Peggy O’Neil. And a lot of *others who-are very fond of O’Neilare sure he couldn’t have meant it.Anyway people should write whatthey really think. The Maroon mightprint it.To get my mind off the sordid busi¬ness I will reprint a poem of myknowledge.With phrases vitriolicAnd a mind most diabolicI could write a daily columnThat was slightly under par.But ’twould take a mind etherealAnd an Act of God materialTo write a decent Traveling Bazaar.At the Beta Toga party LouisWelch was Bottom . . .

Their togas werethe most authentic.Whether or not there is goingto a national emergency, it isundeniable that a reserve oftrained flyers will be an asset Ito this country. Especially ifthere is no emergency, instruc-1tion in flying will be of greatpractical value to those whotake it. For those fortunateenough to be able to treat it asa spare-time activity this courseis an excellent opportunity; forthose who will need jobs soonthe course offers bargain-ratetraining which will be of usein transport piloting. The mostdubious thing about aeronauticslies in its educational value. Atthis school such value used to beconsidered an important curric¬ular criterion.

Four little urchins last night let theair out of the tires and soaped thewindows of Armand Donian’s red LaSalle. The Phi Gams caught them inthe act and scooped the ten andtwelve-year-olds into the house wherethey underwent a barrage of ques¬tioning. “Are the Phi Gams fit to eatwith pigs?” the dirty ones wereasked. “Has your father stopped beat¬ing your mother?” etc., etc... Thepuzzled runts were then made to washtheir faces, carry an old desk down tothe basement, and finally treated tocokes and cookies. In six years the PhiGams hope for a large pledge class. With Europe engaged in anotherWorld War, people are again givinga good deal of thought to the possi¬bility of United States involvement.The burning question before the na¬tion is “How can we stay out?” Con¬gress is debating the proposedchanges in the neutrality law, repealof the arms embargo, and the cash-and-carry plan. Yet we are rearmingat a rate never before experienced inpeace time. W’e are building up hugecorps of reservists, through suchthings as the government financedaviation program in the colleges.With such agitation on all sides tokeep us out of war, and yet such ex¬tensive preparedness that we mightenter a war at the drop of a hat, it iswell to decide who is to have the powerto involve this country again in armedconflict. Thus it is appropriate to bringup at this time the question of theLudlow amendment for a referendumon participation in a foreign war.The writers of the constitution gaveCongress the power to declare war,but the war of our early history isnot the war of today. A century anda half ago, battle was largely confinedto a few thousand troops, fightingspasmodically with weak, ineffectiveweapons. We are all familiar withthe brutality and the greatness ofscope of war today.Should a group of slightly over fivehundred men be allowed to inflict allthis suffering on a nation of 130 mil¬lion? Should a congress of old mensay to the youth of America “Gooverseas to fight, unto death if neces¬sary, for what we believe is right.”Should not instead the men who woulddo the actual fighting and the wivesand mothers who wait patiently fortheir return be allowed to decide forthemselves whether or not the causeis a worthy one?

RUBINSUntil a few minutes after 4:30 onTuesday afternoon the Music depart¬ment and Cecil Smith were sufferingfrom an acute case of the jitters. Thereason for this state was that for thefirst time in its history the Music de¬partment was sponsoring a concert byan artists about whom they were notable to find any first hand informa¬tion.An incident such as the recital byMine. Denya, successful as it was, willprobably not be repeated. The Musicdepartment took a chance with Mme.Denya, although to them she was asmysterious as the dark lady, becausethey sincerely felt that a recital ofthe type of French songs she was pre¬senting was an excellent thing.* * «On September 23 Cecil Smith, Mu¬sic department head and music criticof the Chicago Tribune, received aletter from Mme'. Denya. The letterexplained that Madame Denya, “dis¬tinguished French opera and concertsinger,” was touring America with herhusband and that she would like tosing as a gue.st artist at the Univer¬sity. A partial explanation of herdesire to sing was given in the letter,to wit: “In the short time that Mrs.Denya has been here she has ob¬served that the knowledge of Frenchmusic is narrowed down to the samegroup of musical compositions . . .Mrs. Denya’s deep interest in thisphase of musical enterprise hasprompted her to give a series of vo¬cal recitals in whatever institutions ofhigher learning that wishes to benefitby .so rare an opportunity.”* * *Enclosed with the letter was a pressclipping from a continental newspaperdescribing Madame Denya as “asinger of the French opera” andpraising her ability. Cautious CecilSmith, aware of the fact that manymusic critics of foreign papers, Lon¬don excepted, were notorious for be¬ing inaccurate and subject to friendlyovertures, proceeded to find someonein Chicago who knew something aboutMme. Denya. Although Smith knowsall of the people in music in the cityhe was unable to find one single per¬son who knew anything about Ma¬dame Denya or who had oven heardof her.Later, on September 30, Mr. Smithreceived more press clippings aboutMadame Denya. These later oneswere from Vienna, Amsterdam, Stock¬holm, Copenhagen and Oslo. Stillwary of the releases, as he was fa-milar with the reputation of continen¬tal music critics. Smith made furtherinquiries concerning Madame Denya,was was still unable to find out anything. Tempted by chance to present anew phase of French music to a uni¬versity audience. Smith broke prece-<lent and wrote her to come on toChicago.Up to the very last moment Smithdid not know whether Madame Denyawould be good or bad. It was onlyafter the first few selections that hecould relax and know the chance hehad taken had turned out successful¬ly. ^Keep AmericaOut of War’November 9Peace Council EndorsesNeutrality Congress;Wright to Speak.(Courtier, WithSubsidy, HitsCampus Dorms“The Courtier”, weekly publicationof the University dormitories, ap¬peared yesterday for the first timethis year.

Douglas Asks forSpecial SessionOf Legislature believes. “A three mill levy on realestate, $400,000 a month receivedfrom the city council, and governmentaid, still leaves the city short slightlyless than a million dollars a month fora “skeleton allowance.” Douglas sug¬gests that since the government is re¬ arming that they take over the $200,-000 of the Municipal air-port and thatcommunity people share some of theexpense of Park bridges which wouldsave $131,000. Nevertheless, the neces¬sary amount would not be achieved,even with these reforms.Alderman Paul Douglas informedthose present at the Hyde ^ark Meet¬ing on Relief last night about the direneed of action by the citizens of Chi¬cago towards better relief for 334,000of its peoples. He states that theUnited States Charities Associationestimated the minimum requirementsof a family of four as eighty-two dol¬lars a month and that Chicago’s“skeleton-budget” was a mere fiftydollars a month. Now, because of lackof funds thirty-two dollars is made tosuffice.”PAUL DOUGLAS“The people are slowly starving todeath. Therefore, we must demand aspecial legislation for relief; and inorder to pass this legislation, we mustshow the downstaters, who eye Chica¬go’s political system with suspicion,that we are in dead earnest,” DouglasTYPEWRITERSAll MakesSOLDREPAIREDRENTEDTRADEDPORTABLES OR LARGECASH OR TERMSWOODWORTH'SBOOK STORE1311 E. 57th St. Open EveningsNear Kimbark Ave. Dorchester 4800Learn Gre^The Standard Shorthandof AmericaRegular Stenographic, Secretarial,ana Accounting Courses; also In¬tensive Stenographic Course foreducated men and women.Day and Earning Clat$e$.

C.Page Four THE DAILY MAROON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1939THE DAILY MAROON SPORTSSportShortsBy BOB LAWSONWhat the hell is wrong with thevarsity athletes here? Not only dothe freshmen wipe up the field withthe varsity in football (Coach Shaugh-nessy’s fressmen de-emphasis to thecontrary), but also the yearling cross¬country squad took the varsity intocamp last Friday, 22 to 33. Fair-service and Randell, outstandingprospects, took the first two placeswith Chet Powell, the only veteranshowing any stuff thus far, takingthird. Roberts, Monteith and Antelalso served notice that they must bereckoned with next year.It looks as though the Maroon har¬riers are going to have tough sleddingat the Loyola Invitational meet Sat¬urday unless Coach Merriam canfind some men besides Powell to gar¬ner him some top places in the run.Stabau, Lambert, Willner, Smith, andRatzer will probably be the boys whowill try to do just that.* * *With the election of officers, theRifle Club is beg^inning its season’sactivities. Glenn Slade, Jr., waselected president; Joe Hackett, vice-president; Hugh Bennett, secretary-treasurer; John Thompson, seniorrange officer; Mary Ellen Bean, wo¬men’s representative; and HarryMayer, Junior representative.There are now 42 members of theclub, of whom about 15 or 20 areLounsburyLost, strayed, stolen . . .freshmen. As in almost every othersport, there are several very goodprospects for next year’s varsity,notably Charles Noble and GeorgeFlanagan.« « «Despite the handicap of havingmany men, including Captain DickLounsbury out for football, an in¬formal type of basketball practice isbeing conducted by Coach Norgrenin the field house. There are abouteight veterans from last year andnearly 25 freshmen reporting semi-regularly.The main purpose of this practiceis to acquaint the first-year men withvarious defensive and offensive for¬mations so that they can give thevarsity some good competition whenpractice begins in earnest in Jan¬uary.* « «Although there are a great manyfreshmen out for swimming, it isdifferent from the other sports be¬cause there is not too much talent.Thus far. Bill Braugher and JackRagle look pretty good, and there aresome fair prospects who come outonly once or twice a week so nobodycan decide just who they are.The varsity swimmers, headed byJim Anderson, have a large squad34 men including 15 from last year’steam. They are strong in some eventsand weak in others. Breast stroke,back stroke, and the free-style dashesseem to be well taken care of, but inthe distances, 100-yard relay anddiving the material is mediocre.In spite of this. Coach MacGillivraydeclares that the team is about on apar with the rest of the Big Ten.Listed among the opponents this yearare six conference schools.« « «With Glenn Pierre and the twoShankens performing at near mid¬season form, the gymnastics team is*coming along well. The only sorespot is the size of the squad. CoachHoffer will probably have a varsitysquad of only five this year. A1 Rob¬ertson and Jim Degan should com¬plete the squad. There is a possibilitythat Smith and Failey will edge in,however. Football TeamLeaves for Va.At Noon TodayTeam spirit was high as the foot¬ball squad of thirty men prepared toleave for the University of Virginiaat noon today. In addition to the teamCoach Clark Shaughnessy, two assist¬ant coaches and Doc Shannon and hiswife will make the trip.The roster includes as backs: co¬captains Bob Wasem and JohnnyDavenport, Doc Jampolis, Lou Letts,Robert A. Miller, George Stahney,Bill Kimball, Bill Leach, Wallace Ot-tomeyer, Ted How’e, and Bob Kibele.Ends are Russ Parsons, Robert C.Miller, Ralph Richardson, and JohnPalmer. Lineman include Don Wilson,Hugh Rendleman, Joe Stearns, JohnKeller, Baird Wallace, Ken Jensen,Milt Weiss, Walter Maurovich, Basile,Morry Grinbarg, and Dick Wheeler.The squad has been improving con¬sistently during the intensive twoweeks practice session since the Mich¬igan game. Spirit has been rising reg¬ularly as the eleven has proven itsability to score against the highlytouted yearlings.If practice scrimmage is any Indica¬tion of what the Maroons will do toVirginia, it seems likely that they willput across the first score of the sea¬son against a fii’st class opponent.Even if the offense clicks, however,the defense is still pretty much of aquestion mark.One thing may be definitely statedas a certainty. The boys have the“w’ill to win” that has been so mark¬edly absent in earlier encounters. Ifthis spirit lasts through the earlystages of the game, the score may bea great deal lower than has been pre¬dicted.Lovett Writes forNetv RepublicThe 26th anniversary issue of theNew Republic, to appear Wednesday,article by Robert Morse Lovett on“The Future of the Middle West.”Lovett is professor emeritus of Eng¬lish at the University and a memberof the original faculty.Other contributors include CharlesA.

Suppose Congress, after a de¬bate, should declare a state of war. Inthe absence of a referendum, thiswould mean simply that M-day hadarrived and that we were at war. Butsuppose the Ludlow amendment werein effect. In nine chances out of ten,the people, made targets for all kindsof propaganda, would vote in favor ofwar. 'There would be nothing lost bysuch a referendum.But there is a chance that theywould vote against war. We wouldthen have avoided a serious conflict,and the resultant possibility of col¬lapse of democracy. And though thereferendum would be of inestimablevalue in determining the sentiment ofthe country, it should be passed evenif only as a possible last resort tokeep us out of war.♦ ♦ * .Again, assume that Congress weredebating the question of a war. Wouldit not be much more careful of com¬mitting itself if it knew its decisionhad to undergo the test of approval bythe people? Congressmen are to somedegree conscious of prestige. What atremendous blow to prestige therewould be if the people reversed the de¬cision of the lawmakers!Others argue that it would be im¬practical and impossible to hold areferendum at such a time of crisisHowever, if the machinery were setup in advance, oiled and ready tofunction at a moment’s notice, it isagreed that a referendum could besuccessfully completed within forty-eight hours. And military experts saythat, in our isolated position, there ismuch more time than that before weneed worry about what the other fel¬low will do. A.D.

Neither team was able toput it over in the first half, but thePhi Delts turned their own kickoffinto their only touchdown by inter¬cepting an Alpha Delt pass on therunback. Stan Farwell scored boththe touchdown and the extra point.An Alpha Delt pass, Arrandell toStanley, tied up the game at 7-7 andit remained that way until midwayin the second extra period when Ar¬randell tallied on an intercepted pass.Stanley and Busby sewed the gameup with another touchdown whenStanley intercepted and passed toBusby for the final tally.After Phi Psi Weis had scored ona combination run-pass play on thesecond half kickoff, Paine scored forthe Dekes on a short pass.
