Last year hewrote the skit which earned the bro¬thers the Victory Vanities champion¬ship, and he is assisting brother“Speedy” Steam with the compositionfor this week.The two most outstanding seniorsare Jerry Abelson and Irwin Bieder-man. Abelson won a “C” jacket as anoutfielder on the baseball nine lastspring, is treasurer of the I-F coun¬cil, and vice-chairman of the HillelSocial committee. Biederman’s chiefclaim to fame rests on his job as busi¬ness manager of Pulse, but he is alsodiscussion group leader in Hillel anda member of the Political Union. Heis president of the House.As do most fraternities. Pi Lamchose its busiest junior to head theirrushing committee. Roland Richman,co-membership chai'-man to Hillel, de¬votes most of his t.'me to the DailyMaroon. He has the laenior job of Ad¬vertising Manager on the paper. BillHochman, Iron Mask man, is mostwidely known for his appealing fem¬inine roles in Blackfriars. Julian Low-enstein is on on the Reynolds Clubcouncil, and has a junior position onthe Maroon business staff and AaronManders has an Old English awardin baseball.Four of the eight sophomores BobGreenberg, Dave I^zarus, Bill Levy,and Bob Jacobs, work on the businessstsiff of the Maroon.

Pi Lam is slightly cheaperthan the average house. Its rankingof ninth gives it second place amongthe three Jewish houses. Actives liv¬ing in the chapter house pay $47.50(‘Very month while brothers not livingin the house pay $2.3 per month tocover dues, and six meals a week.Pledges are charged $1.3 a month forfive meals a week. The initiation fee is$100.Although the brothers took secondin the intramural softball tournament,they placed eleventh in total points.In scholarship the situation is revers¬ed. Pi Lam was a good third in lastyear’s inter-fraternity rankings.Pi Lambda Phi was founded na¬tionally in New York University in1910. The local organization becameone of the 19 chapters in 1919. Theaim of the national organization is tobetter human relations. In relation tothis purpose, Pi Lam annually pre¬sents a Tolerance award to some de¬serving American. Latest recipient ofthe award is Professor Chamberlain ofColumbia University.Officers of the local chapter are Ir¬win Biederman, president, Jerry Abel¬son, vice-president, Roland Richman,secretary, Joel Bernstein, treasurerand Mayer Stern, pledge master.

Thecheerleaders, the band and CoachShaughnessy will be in attendance atthe pep meeting.Following the firelite celebration aswing group formed from the bandwill lead the assemblage out of thecircle to Ida Noyes for the dance,weaving thru the streets in corkscrewfashion.Move Dance to GymThe dance has been moved from theCloister club to the gymnasium. Theformer could comfortably hold about4.50, while the gym easily could handledouble that number.David Martin, chairman of the Ma¬roon Board of Control, and EmilHirsch, Pulse Editor, have acceptedIron Mask’s invitation to be judgesat the counting of ballots Wednesdaynight following the beauty queen elec¬tion which will be held that day.Two boxes will be used for thevoting, one in Mandel and the otherin Cobb. As oft repeated, the queen,to be chosen from eight women eachrepresenting one of the four classes,will be presented at the dance.Eight students were elected to theDormitory Council last Wednesday byresidents of Judson and Burtoncourts. James Schoenberger and BinoMarchello of last year’s council an¬nounced that 224 voters cast their bal¬lots as follows: Sophomore Bob Hig¬gins 142, graduate Gordon Watts 140,junior Bill Malinowski 117, senior CarlHonzak 117, freshman Frank Richard114, junior Jay Bartlett 108, andfreshman Wentzle Ruml 99. JohnBex, a junior, received 103 votes andwould have qualified had it not beenfor a constitutional ruling that allowsonly three men from any one classon the council.In the past the council has been aunit which promotes an integrated so¬cial life and group solidarity of theresidents in Burton and Judson courts.This year’s council will operate withthis ideal in view. The council’s big¬gest job will be the staging of theannual winter formal for residentsand'their dates. In other years thisdinner-dance has been the social high¬light of the season for the men’s dor¬mitories.Enfflish Film^ “The39 Steps/^ ShownAt hit House Today“The 39 Steps” starring MadeleineCarroll and Robert Donat, will beshown at International House todayat 4:30 and 8:30.

Workshop OpenerIs Huge SuccessNeutra ExhibitsPhotographs ofArchitectural Work Armstrong, Polacheck,Cross, Koolish Star in“Awake and Sing.”An exhibit of photographs showingthe work of Richard J. Neutra, inter¬nationally known modern architect,starts today in the gallery of the artdepartment, 108 Goodspeed hall.Neutra, at present with the Ameri¬can Institute of Architects, is a grad¬uate of the Polytechnical college,University of Vienna, where hestudied civil engineering and archi¬tecture. In the early part of 1939 hewas given the honor award of theNational Theatre Ccmmittee. A Vi-enese by birth, ht nas been in Amer¬ica since 1923. Two of his books,“How America Builds,” 1926, and“America, New Building in theWorld,” 1929, are well known to moststudents of architecture.Forty Mounts ShownAmong the collection of fortymounts there will be included photo¬graphs depicted practically all thephases of modern architecture. Thebuildings to be shown were done forthe most part on the west coast whereMr. Neutra has spent most of histime. The selection of architecturalpieces include such diverse things asocean front beach houses, terraces,schools, swimming pools and gardens,to to mention general modern archi¬tectural works.Diversity of ExhibitsSome of the photographs show suchthings as “Steel as Structural Ma¬terial,” “Architecture and Night Illu¬mination.” “Horizontally SpreadingArchitecture,” and “Ground Floor Ar¬chitecture.”Alfred K. Barr of the New YorkMuseum of Art has said that “Neutrais among American architects secondonly to Wright in his internationalreputation. His executed buildingspermit him to rank as the leadingarchitect of the west coast.”The exhibit will continue from to¬day until the 28th of this month. By PEARL C. RUBINSDA Workshop’s performance lastnight of “Awake and Sitig” is the besttheatre the campus has seen in thepast two years. Clifford Odets’ mov¬ing drama has been converted by thecast and director Clark Sergei into amost excellent piece of work. The playas presented in last night’s dress re¬hearsal was complete and convincingand will silence the campus DA bait¬ers who thought the play too muchfor the workshop.There were four members of thecast who stood out as finished, andmore than capable. Eddie Armstrongas Moe Axelrad gave an interpreta¬tion which was sound and extremelyeffective. Evidently a more than ama¬teur performer so fas as the tech¬niques were concerned, Armstrongwas never melodramatic and consist-tently realized the possibilities of thepart.Jacqueline Cross as Hennie gavehim admirable support. Faced with adifficult part, she handled it with careand finesse. It is difficult to believethat this -is Miss Cross’ first role, andthroughout she proved herself per¬fectly capable of all the requirementsof the part.Demarest Polacheck in the role ofJacob easily had the most sympatheticpart. It is to his credit that he handledit with his usual assidiously carefulinterpretation. He did so well that itwas he, rather than the lines, whomade probable the suicide in the sec¬ond act.Alice Koolish cast as Bessie was(Continued on page four)Manly GetsAward ForChaucer WorkSurvey InterclubAs IntensiveRushing BeginsWith intensive rushing already be¬gun, the Daily Maroon is presentinga series of articles designed to giveprospective pledges an impartial sur¬vey of what each club has to offer.Following today’s opening article onInterclub, the survey will take upeach club individually. TomorrowAlpha Epsilon, Wyvern and Esotericwill be reviewed.Interclub, composed of all the clubpresidents, is naturally enough thefocal point for all joint club activities.Its main purpose is the regulation ofclub rushing. The rules, more strin¬gent than the Interfraternity ones,are rarely violated. But in such casesit is the function of Interclub tomete out punishment.Social FunctionsThe two main social functions ofthe year are the annual Interclub balland the newly established InterclubSing. Traditionally held in DianaCourt, the Interclub Ball is the high¬light of the club social season. Itserves in a manner as a party forall the newly inducted pledges. TheInterclub Sing was first given in thespring of 1939 to a closed audience inthe garden of Ida Noyes. This yearthe Sing will be open to the entirecampus, and Pi Delta Phi, last year’swinner, will again try to win thehonor cup. Another activity super¬vised by Interclub is the inter-clublunches and teas. This particular ac¬tivity will be greatly increased thisyear.There are certain activities whichare common to all clubs such as alum¬nae suppers, settlement parties andVictory Vanity skits. Interclub servesas the clearing house for these ac¬tivities, especially for the settlementparties which each club gives annual¬ly.This year Interclub has instituteda scholarship requirement befove apledge can be initiated. Last yearclub girls did well scholastically, win¬ning three out of the eight divisionalscholarships awarded to women. While vacationing this fall in Tuc¬son, Arizona, John M. Manly, Dis¬tinguished Service Professor Emeritusof England, received word from theBritish Academy that he had beenawarded the Sir Israel Collancz Me¬morial Prize for his “long and dis¬tinguished work on the textual studyof Chaucer.”The accumulated results of Dr.Manly’s work will soon be publishedby the University Press in eight largevolumes entitleci “The Text of theCanterbury Tales.” The extensivework was written by Manly in 14years’ collaboration with the lateEdith Rickert, also a member of theUniversity faculty.No Complete CollectionThat no extant manuscript of theCanterbury Tales was written during1 the lifetime of Chaucer seems to bethe prevalent opinion of scholars. Thecomposition of the “Tales,” at thetime of Chaucer’s death, was so farfrom complete that he had not evenprepared them for copying. Soon afterhis death the demand for copiescaused several to appear, and a num¬ber of arranged manuscripts wereproduced by different persons. Thesecopies w'ere the ancestors of theeighty-three which have been pre¬served to the present day.For their work, Professors Manlyand Rickert assembled photostats ofall known manuscripts, both entireand fragmentary, and recorded theconflicting readings. This is con¬sidered the largest number of Chaucertexts ever collated in full at any onetime. The published volumes willcontain the full transcript of thesemanuscripts.Changes Not RevolutionaryThe resulting discoveries were notstartling, nor were the textualchanges revolutionary, although per¬haps a hundred corrections of inter¬est and importance were made. Oneof these, in the Parson’s Prologue,concerns lines conflicting as to thetime of a certain action. The appar¬ent inconsistency has long perplexedscholars, but Manly and Rickert founda simple solution. In the ancestralmanuscript the time was written withan arabic “4,” but the fifteenth cen¬tury form of 4 is easily mistaken forthe roman numeral “X,” which ex¬plained the error.Page Two THE DAILY MAROON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1939FOUNDED IN 1901MEMBER ASSOCIATED COLLEGIATEPRESSTb« r ally Maroon is tTie official studentnewspaper of the University of Chicaso,published morniiiKS except Saturday, Sun¬day and Monday I'.ring the Autumn,Winter and Spring quarters by The DailyMaroon Company, 5831 University avenue.Telephones: Hyde Park 9221 and 9222.After 6:30 phone in stories to ourprinters.

RubinsAssistant: Gene SlottowPossibilitiesOccasional acts in the processof becoming traditions are in¬teresting things to observe.Though at first they may seemsporadic transient events, theykeep recurring till soon theyare expected as part of an in¬evitable sequence of nature.Then a custom is established.It looks as if freshman classorganization is getting to be ahabit at the University of Chi¬cago. For several years incom¬ing classes have elected officerssometime in early autumn. Be¬cause it provides one of the fewplaces where the small percent¬age of new students interestedmay become familiar with thenames of some of their class¬mates considered worthy ofspecial notice—and thereforeperhaps containing germs ofleadership, the Daily Maroonhas to a certain extent assistedin the birth of this new tradi¬tion. It has, consequently, a re¬sponsibility in checking up onit: considering just what thistradition is; whether it is a goodthing or bad; and how well itfits in with other Universitytraditions. But until this tradi¬tion crystallizes into somethingdefinite it must be judged by itspast history.While freshman councils havebeen elected for the last fewyears, not many freshmen haveparticipated in the elections.Some of them haven’t known orcared who their officers were.What the councils have done itis difficult to say, much less toevaluate fairly. There justdoesn’t seem to be anythingvery exciting or even very in¬teresting to many people thatsupporters of freshman organi¬zation can point at with pride.Because of this deficiency,charges have been made thatthe freshman council is an or¬ganization for organization’ssake, a prestige group pure andsimple. From time to timedoubts have been cast on theword “pure.” Those who wantthe freshmen to organize, how¬ever, answer that the councilsare relatively new things; thatthe work they are doing is cum¬ulative; that last year’s organi¬zation was much more effectivethan previous ones; that as timegoes on and experience increases,the councils will be able to for¬mulate and carry out moreworthwhile and constructiveprograms. It still seems strange,though, that a group of studentsshould bother to organize beforeit has any specific ideas aboutthe purposes for which it is or¬ganizing.Certainly there are manytheoretical excuses for the ex¬ istence of a freshman society.After the care and attention ofFreshman Week is over, beforethe care and attention fromclubs and fraternities begins,there is a lull in the social livesof many new students. For mostof them the lull never ends aslong as they stay here. The onlyquestion about freshman organi¬zation is a practical one: will itsolve this problem? Will it solveit any better than existing or¬ganizations could do if theytried? So far, the answer hasbeen no.But this year’s council is anew group. Is it going to keepthe theoretical justification forits existence from being foolishempty words? Against its suc¬cess is the experience of pastcouncils and the inexperience ofthe present. For it are the en¬thusiasm of its supporters andthe fact that the cumulative andgrowing venture of freshmanorganization is about due togrow up.What the new tradition is,whether it is good, and howwell it fits in with other Univer¬sity traditions are questions theMaroons will be able to answerbetter a few months from now.Football-Means or End?To many of the alumni, agood football team is an end initself. They want a good foot¬ball team so that they can pointwith pride to their Alma Mater,so that they can read the Sun¬day morning paper without feel¬ing a sense of futile rage, so thatthey can tell their associatesthat their Alma Mater has al¬ways been the best—in schol¬arship and in athletics.To us, a good football teamis a means. Our end is a differ¬ent one. We feel a loyalty to theUniversity for the opportunitiesfor education it has given us,and because of our loyalty, ourend is to see that it continues togive the best opportunities foreducation in the country.The University, in 1941, willhave a deficit of $600,000—a dif¬ference of over half a million dol¬lars between recurring incomeand recurring expense. If thisdeficit is not replaced by ne^V in¬come, it will mean a blackout ofIV/, of the University’s activity—it will mean the finish of theUniversity of Chicago as we areproud of it.Therefore, if we are toachieve our end, it must be ourimmediate concern to discoverways to raise money. One wayto get money is through ouralumni. One way to get ourfootball-minded alumni to giveus money is to give them a goodfootball team.The administration is not will¬ing to sacrifice scholarships foracademic records, in order toprovide scholarships for athleticprowess. For this it is to beadmired.But it has failed to encourageits football-minded alumnienough so that they would beinduced to give additional moneyfor athletic scholarships, whichwould in turn, help to attractgifts from its other alumni. Forthis violation of common busi¬ness sense it is to be censured.Luckily the lack of vigilanceof our administration is offsetby the newly increased vigilanceof our alumni.We learn happily of the secretmeeting of 500 loyal graduatesof the University this week todecide on a way out of the messwhich is more intolerable totheir pride than it is to Hutch¬ins’. We are glad that, even ifthe University does not feel freeto institute athletic scholarshipsat the expense of its regularscholarship holders, its alumniare interested enough to devotetheir time, and we hope theirmoney, to buy us a good foot¬ball team.

Wabash Art. at Washington The most and recent far flung ofProfessor Arthur Compton’s midgetballoon flights ended in the thrivingmetropolis of Electric, Ontario. Theballoon cluster sent up a few weeksago by Drs. Jesse, Schein, and Wallancarried a special apparatus to countmesotrons, the most penetrating cos¬mic rays and lead blocks were put into absorb the other cosmic rays.The special apparatus, weighingabout forty pounds, was held up bytwenty-one balloons about ten hoursbefore landing in the Ontario marsh¬land. Remnants of the equipment werefound the next day by a farmer whotelegraphed the University, and Wil¬liam P. Jesse, number one balloonchaser, hurried up to Canada.Canadian Spy ScareUnfortunately a game wardenreached the equipment before Jesseand took it to the local constabulary.Upon arrival in Electric and after in¬quiry in the only store Jesse was toldthat he could find the apparatus in thestation of the Ontario State Police.The Ontario State Police, a very ef¬ficient force, upon finding an appara¬tus containing film and clockwork,were immediately suspicious.Arriving at the station after re¬questing the apparatus, Jesse was po¬litely informed that Canada was in astate of war and it was feared thatthe equipment had been photograph¬ing strategic military points.Police Hold OutAfter being carefully informed ofwhat the equipment contained, the po¬lice called New London and Toronto,but could do nothing to release theequipment.Jesse, seeing that nothing could bedone from his end called Compton whocalled professors at the University ofToronto who after lengthy explana¬tions finally had the equipment re¬leased the same day that Jesse soughtit. The flight was very successful, al¬though some of the film was spoiledby water.

ResultVirginia 7, Chicago 0.Twice later in the same period Vir¬ginia pulled the same play with thesame result, once right after Chicagohad made a brilliant goal line standon the five yard line.Virginia added another unearnedtouchdown to the abovementionedthree in the second period when theMaroons ends failed to cover the side¬lines adequately when running downunder a punt; the Cavalier safety manjust sprinted for the side of the fieldand sped down the alley to pay dirtbehind fine blocking. Thus, accordingto Shaughnessy, the game shouldhave been a scoreless deadlock untilthe final period, when Virginia madethree earned scores.All those who made the trip re¬turned with most favorable reportsof the sportsmanship and the hospi¬tality which they witnessed both onthe field and off in Charlottesville.“If any one tells you that there isno such thing as southern hospitality,hit him,” was Johnny Davenport’s Cubs Play 13-12Thriller; CoachPraises DefenseWhile the varsity was away over theweekend, the precocious Chicagofreshmen took over Stagg Field, and,according to the Tribune, played morerough and tumble football than hasbeen seen hereabouts for some time.Be that as it may, the players almostwithout exception, felt that they couldplay a better brand of ball than theyshowed in Friday’s intersquad game,which resulted in a thrilling 13-12 up¬set for the “blues”.Frosh coaches felt that the mostoutstanding and encouraging part ofFriday’s tilt was the defensive play ofboth teams; every score but one wasmade on a long run. They did not ex¬pect much from the yearling offense,for the two squads had just beenchosen two days before and conse¬quently had had very little time topractice together.As a rule, the backfield men arethe ones who attract the crowd’s at¬tention, but lineman Chuck Boyd re¬ceived praise from all sides for hisfine work at tackle, both offensivelyand defensively—he even carried theball on one play, which Coach VinSahlin has named the “Boyd around”play. Piicksters (ConveneTo Form Team;Plan Tour Phi Delts, Phi Psis Tie 6-6Play Again TodayBy calling a meeting of all meninterested in hockey in the trophyroom of Bartlett Gym at 1 o’clocktoday. Coach Dan Hoffer hopes to getthe formation of a team underway.Present plans include a trip by a 12-man University of Chicago team toColorado Springs during the Christ¬mas vacation. The schedule tenta¬tively calls for the playing of a two-game series against Colorado Col¬lege on the Broadmoor Hotel rink.Coach Hoffer’s plans include thepossibilities of an informal teambeing formed. In this case, freshmenand post-graduates would be eligiblefor competition and for the Coloradotrip. The possibility of this teamhinges mainly on Colorado College’swillingness to play such competition.DA-(Continued from page one)wholly convincing. Her performance'was always on the same high leveland she was consistent in maintain¬ing the character throughout.Dick Himmel who played Ralphiefell below the standard set by the fourmentioned above. Himmel workedvery hard, and he may have felt thepart, but he was unable to project thecharacter to the audience. WiltonSchiller and George Schloss as UncleMortie and Feinschriber handled theirroles well. David Pletcher, evidentlyplaying a role which was beyond hiscomprehension, struck a false note. Hewas unable to make the credibilityand naivete of Myron real.The greatest drawback to the entireperformance was the technical hand¬ling backstage. Perhaps this last is un-importar but for the sake of the playit is hoped that the.se difficulties areironed out for tonight’s campus pre¬view. Phi Delta Theta and Phi Kappa Psibattled furiously to a 6-6 tie yester¬day in the first game of the fraternityplayoffs. Another game will be playedtoday at 2:30 to determine who shallcontinue in the playoffs.The Phi Psis started strongly andnearly scored in the opening minutesof play. Next was the Phi Delts’ turn—a play consisting of two passes andrun of 35 yards put the ball on thePhi Psis 2 yard line. After losingthree yards on the first play theirthreat was obliterated by an inter¬cepted pass.The Phi Psis’ only tally came latein the first half when Chuck Banfetook a 25 yard pass from Wally Beat¬ty after a series of plays brought thePhi Psis within striking distance. Thewhole Phi Delt team rushed in tosmother an attempted ^lace kick forthe extra point.Only 70 seconds remained in thegame when the Phi Delts, trailing bysix points, came through with a storybook touchdown. Stan Farwell setup the touchdown by virtually climb¬ing on the backs of opposing playersto snag a 30 yard pass from Ray Wil¬cox. Wilcox passed again—this timeto Dale Anderson who completelyfooled the Phi Psi defense on a sleeperplay to score. There wasn’t an oppos¬ ing player within 10 yards a- hegathered in the ball for the touch¬down.2:30 Phi Delta Theta vs. Phi KappaPsi4:00 Alpha Delta Phi vs. Psi UpsilonThe Phi Psis’ speed combination ofWally Beatty and stocky Chuck Banfeplayed an excellent game for PhiKappa Psi. Emil Weis’ rushing wasalso outstanding.The running of Paul Archipley, thepassing offense of Wilcox, Ander.son,and Farwell stood out for the PhiDelts.4 MONTH INTENSIVE COURSEFOR COLLEGE STUDENTS AND GRADUATESA thorough, intensivt. stenographic course —starting January J.
