Hutchins WarnsSchools To ActIn Post StoryUnless the endowed universitiesface their financial situation frankly,and put their house in order they willj be put out of business by the public; junior colleges, teacher's colleges, andi the state universities.With this warning. PresidentHuchins answers again for the public“What Good Are Endowments?” intoday's issue of the Saturday Eve¬ning Post.To help put the houses of the greatendowed universities in order, Hutch¬ins suggests that they consolidate.His keynote is that there “must befewer and better universities; fewerand better professors.” “To cut ex¬penses and make the universities bet¬ter by doing so is the task of educa¬tional statesmanship. Th’s means co¬operation, con.solidation, and elimin¬ation of duplication. Though the in¬come of professors should be main¬tained, and even increased, their num¬ber should decline.”His reasons for saving the endowedUniversities are the ones he has oftrepeated in previous articles and inpleas to alumni for endownment gifts.“If We want to keep democracy, wemust keep education. If we want tokeep education, we must keep the en¬dowed universities.Pointing out that the University ofChicago and the University of Texashave already co-operated on the jointventure of an observatory, Hutchinslooks to this .sort of consolidation asa way out of the financial holes thatthe endowed colleges are in. But,standing as a barrier in the way ofthis, he says, is ambition, vested in¬terest and sentimentality.Even consolidation will not beenough, says Hutchins. Universitiesmust not only cut expenses—theymust increase income. And the twoways in which this mu.st be done tosave the endowed universities arethese—release some of the principalof endowment funds for use in hardtimes, and in times of better economicconditions, raise money through an¬nual donations—a “large number ofcomparatively small gifts” from thegeneral population.

The composerMoussorgsky presents in his musica people as well as individual charac¬ters. Although the opera is eposodicit is held together by the superbstyle and musical characterization ofthe composer. Moussorgsky, togetherwith Borodin and Rimsky-Korsakow,dedicated his talents to pure Russianmusic and based his oj)eras on thefolk music of the nation and themusic of the Greek Orthodox Church.Nef Speaks Today inLaw Lecture SeriesJohn U.

During the course of his revue Mr.Talley played excerptions from eachact of the opera. Commenting uponthe romantic duet of the second act,he explained the “catchiness” of thetune and said that some of the “TinPan Alley” composers would probablyappropriate it for a popular song.Strangely enough one of the well-known tunes of a few seasons ago,“Blue Skies”, is surprisingly like thearia.In addition to the subscribers to theOpera Hour, the guests included Mrs.Jason Whitney, wife of the presidentof the Chicago Opera Company, 20members of the Opera Guild Socie^and a special group from the Srett School for Girls.Refreshments were served iNorth Lounge of the Reynold?by the Aides of the Opera HoIt is expected that theguest of next Tuesday's Op(will be Gladys Swarthout, ofropolitan and Hollywood. ”bers of each club and fratiagain be invited to attend Geiger, Iselman, Culp,Glasser Lead I-F BallUniversity Resumes‘^Human Adventure^^Series Next MonthBell Traces Hi^Of Motion Pic “In the great Universities of theworld, unpublicized, almost unknown,scientists, scholars, students seek forthe next step in human knowledge...in the Human Adventure.” This wasthe introduction to the first broad¬cast of “'The Human Adventure” lastsummer.For eight weeks, from late in Julyuntil the middle of September, theWILLIAM B.

On the face of it, thisseems noble; and the aims of theKeep Out of the War Congressapparently indicate a most op¬timistic faith in the ability ofstudent reason to solve suchserious and difficult problemsupon less than 24 hours of con¬sideration.The catch comes in the fact!that the moving spirits of this!Congress have given far more!than 24 hours to consideration jof the present war. For them Ithe educational sessions are ^superfluous. They already havethe truth and could vote on it:before the Congress just as well ias they can tomorrow night, jElsewhere in today’s paperthe origin and personnel of thecommittee for carrying out theCongress’ agenda are discussed.In the light of this it is not dif¬ficult to take a good guess atwhat the phrase “keep Americaout of the war’’ is going to meantomorrow night. But it is notso easy to understand how thepeople responsible for the Con¬gress, having the views theyhave, think it still possible forAmerica to stay out of the war—the embargo has already beenrepealed.Whether or not America canabstain from active participa¬tion in this war, how it may beable to do so are questions ofutmost and immediate practic"importance. They are no lonjmerely interesting topics todiscussed either lightly or eitionally by a few politicaminded people. They requcareful and unbiased study <confusing, rapidly changingnations; prudent and judic'weighing of possibilitiesprobabilities. At this late ;to make these problems ma,of power politics is worse >a pathetic waste of time; itbe trifling with dynamite.Of course everyone wanstay out of the war if iffsible to do so. Among intehpeople there can be no ccon this point. But stuc<though better prepared' l. -most others to be rational abou.’>judging the issues involved, do inot understand them clearly. |They need more m^ormation,about these matter i and more |clarification of the Standards tobe used in evaluating such in-!formation. Since the Keep Out.of the War Congress plans toformulate resolutions deciding {these issues, and inasmuch asthe group responsible for the ‘ Congress seems to have made up jits mind already about whatanswers are orthodox, the edu¬cational efficacy and integrity ofthe Congress appear highlyquestionable.TravelingBazaarBy DICK HIMMELDiseasesAnti-CIubitisPeople who write about clubs areeither club girls giving themselves aboost, non-club girls giving clubsknocks, male columnists with stomachulcers, or extraverts like Ned Rosen¬heim looking for a social “in”. Clubsand fraternities are here. Whetherthey are good or bad is debatable. Cer¬tainly they are the best thing we have,and a strong campus influence. Somegirls who talk against clubs are gripedbecause they couldn’t get in one. Oth¬ers, like Marian Castleman, have agenuine feeling that they don’t needone to get ahead, which is very pos¬sible.However, most girls aren’t able togo out and push on their own. A clubgefs them started at a point that ittook Marian Castelman two years toreach.Other outstanding non-club socialwomen are Beverly Ward, Ruth Weh-lan and Jackie Cross, Pulse fashionpo.seurs. Although they were rushed,each preferred to remain independent.Undoubtedly they won’t stay in thatcondition very long. Look at MarjorieKuh. She shook off the throngs for 3years, but then they got her. It’s theeasiest thing to rationalize yourselfout of a club or fraternity, but ra¬tionalize from now now until nextYom Kippiir, they are the best theUniversity has.This little opus now puts me in theclass of a second rate Rosenheim anddon’t think it isn’t a horrible realiza¬tion.BWOCmaniaEvery once in a while some littlewoman gets the idea she’s going to bea BWOC quick. This little woman is afreshman woman, and people certainlyhate her for it. Prime example thisyear is “Bitsy” Betsy Kuh, a fresh-,man fraud, sister to genuine BWOCMarjorie Kuh. Betsy has the distinc¬tion of almost looking like her bigsister, only not so crowded. Unlike hersister, however, she thinks she canget to the top by basking in reflectedglory. Betsy Kuh is lucky. She has alast name with a good substantialcampus sound. Probably this was themain reason she got a good spot onthe freshman council. Only .<^he ain’tno Clarabel Grossman. Probablythere’s something fundamentally fineabout the Kuhs, only in Betsy it i';certainly latent. She undoubtedly will |be a big big BWOC some day, but Ibet she changes her tactics first.Missing the Boat IvyPulchritude surveyors have a hellof a time measuring campus beauties,and it seems they never get them allin. Completely missed this year ispretty Rosalie Phillips, Lillian Lute*-Jane Moran, and sophomore swankMarge Dillon. I suppose it’s hard t'catch all.

We would like to presentour version of the story.Jim Peterson approached variouscampus leaders with a proposal forcalling a general peace congress. BudBriggs, Ruth Neuendorffer, and JoeRosenstein, while refusing to giveblanket endorsement to the idea,agreed to join Peterson in calling aninitial meeting to decide whether ornot a congress should be convoked.Of the 57 students who came to thismeeting independently from 18 cam¬pus organizations, only three werecommunists. This group, at almost fullstrength, voted to call the congress.Since Bud Briggs and a few otherstook an opposition view on certainideas which a majority desired, theyceased to work on the project, andtheir names were not used thereafter.At the Peace Council meeting Ros¬enstein atacked the congress as com¬munist dominated. W’ith but two com¬munists present, the Council endorsedthe Congress by a vote of 13 to 3.As a non-participating organiza¬tion, Chapel Union has never beenmentioned in publicity. IdentifyingJohn Van de Water as being of ChapelUnion cannot be construed as impli¬cating that organization.In the face of this attempt to smearas red a congress which is now theproperty of a large portion of thecampus, the organizing committee iscontent to let the facts speak forthemselves.

RUBINSTonight many students interestedin the cause of peace, will conveneat the “Keep America Out of theWar” congress. There they will meetwith another example of petty mis¬representation which characterizesthe activities of pressure groups onthis and other campuses. In this casethere are interesting little stories be¬hind the congress which the com¬munists on campus might not wishto be known.Only a few weeks ago Jim Peter¬son, former Communist Club Presi¬dent, approached Bud Briggs, presi¬dent of Chapel Union and Joe Rosen-stein, former president of the peacecouncil with the idea of having apeace congress. He admitted thatcampus communists were on the spotand that along with expressing gen¬eral peace sentiment such a meet¬ing would give the communists achance to show their point of view.Rriggs and Rosenstein told Petersonthat if enough repreaentative peoplewould show that they wanted sucha congress, they would, as individualsaid in its formation.Before Briggs or Rosenstein couldsee whether the conditions they askedwere fulfilled, Peterson gave The Ma¬roon a story in which Briggs andRosenstein were mentioned as spon¬sors of a meeting to draw up plansfor a peace congress. Neither hadgiven Peterson permission to use hisname as a sponsor of this meeting,and tliey knew nothing about the mat¬ter until they were told of an articlein The Maroon. Ruth NeuendorfTerwas also listed as a sponstor. She, too,was not cognizant of the fact thatshe was one of the select.The people that attende<i this meet¬ing were mostly graduate socialscientists and communists. Represent¬ing Chapel Union—to .see what wasgoing on—were Briggs, Fiser, andNeuendorffer. Bud Briggs spoke,pointing out that CU might partici¬pate in a day of seminars discussingwhat the peace stand should be andviolently opjmsed any resolutionmeeting at which resolutions wouldb<’ passed dbnsidered to be campuso|)inion. Socialist Hyman Minskyand The Maroon Board members, also[iresent took the same stand. But themotion was carried above their heads,and they gradually left. After theagenda was made, Peterson nomi¬nated .Armstrong, whose name hedi<in’t know, but whose attitudes helike<t, to head the committee. Therewas no candidate running againstI'.im and he was elected by acclama¬tion.♦ • *.At a Peace Council meeting Petei-son spoke in favor of the council’sJoining the “Keep America out ofWai” congress. He was opposed by.lo<‘ Rosenstein. Rosenstein said thatin the past conferences a small com¬pact group, through the use of cer¬tain tactics, managed to get a dis¬proportionate amount of influence.Peterson retorte<l with a blast atRosenstein accusing him of being ared baiter and of preventing ChapelUnion and the Ellis Co-op from evendiscussing the KOOVVC.•Actually these are the facts: Thematter was discus.sed by CU Boardwhich rejected it by a vote of 17-11.Rosenstein did not even enter intothe discussion a,nd refrained fromvoting. As to the Co-op, Rosensteinwas asked by Peterson to bring th"*KOOWC before the Co-op assembly,but he said that the meeting was tobe short and primarily concerned withthe election of a co-op manager.Peter.son said that he would .send.‘'omeone over to explain the congressto the assembly but Rosenstein madeno i)romises. However no man cameand the group merely considered theonly thing on its docket, the electionof a new manager.Yesterday campus peace enthusiastsreceived a copy of the plans for the“Keep out of War Congress”.

Singularly enough, the North¬western team w'as also there. In thespirit of friendly rivalry, a series ofswimming events and a water pologame were arranged on the spur ofthe moment.Of the three swimming eventsChicago took two — the 400-yardbreast-stroke, and the 400-yard back-stroke. Northwestern copped the 400yard free-style event. Stein, Jordan,B. Speck and Bethke were the win¬ning back-strokers, and Capt. Ander¬son, Speck, Markoff and Bethke con¬stituted the breast-stroke team.Of the water-polo game, even CoachMacGillivray, who could not be pres¬ent that night, know’s very little. Sev¬eral boys have told him the score was5 to 5, while several others are justas sure that Northwestern won, 6 to4.While these results do not meanmuch, MacGillivray is worried lestthe boys develop an inflated opinion oftheir ability, something which hesays is very unwarranted. They are afair team right now, but they are nota great team.* * *Perhaps those who attend the OhioState game will get a look at thefreshmen cross-country squad who arejust as good, if not better than, themuch more publicized first-year grid-ders. A tentative mile-run betw’eenhalves has been scheduled for thefreshmen as the varsity is running ameet away from home on that day.

Phis byvirtue of an 18-0 win over Psi U andthe Phi Psis with a 19-7 score overPhi Delta Theta.The Alpha Delt-Psi U game was acloser battle than indicated by the18-0 score. The Alpha Delts led byonly six points until the last 45 sec¬onds of play; then A. J. “Bob” Her-schel passed to Carl Stanley for atouchdown. On w’hat proved to be thelast play of the game Stanley inter¬cepted a Psi U pass and threw theball to Carl Nohl who scored just asthe game ended.Jack Bernhardt tallied the otherAlpha Delt touchdown early in thesecond half on a pass from John Bus¬by after he had intercepted Psi U JimBell’s pass. Outstanding ev'en in de¬feat for the Phi U’s were Bell andtheir apple-cheeked Dutchman, A1Vanderhoof. , Phi Psi-Phi DeltPhi Kappa Psi’s game with the PhiDelts was simply the case of a goodteam-meeting a better one.
