Baitlp ilUiraonVol. 40, No. 26 Z-149 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1939 Price Three CentsBetaThetaPiBy JOHN STEVENSThe most notorious man on campusis the vice-president of Beta Theta Pi,Dick Himmel. As the Daily Maroon’smost faithful (i.e. faithful to the as¬signment editor) columnist, he has al¬most made as many enemies per col¬umn as the Maroon has readers.Although students who know himonly through what he has written,pretty generally dislike him, amongpeople who know him at all well, Him¬mel is exceptionally popular. AsBeta’s most promising sophomore heis destined to be one of the biggestmen in the class of ’42. In additionto the Daily Maroon his activities in¬clude parts in Dramatic Associationproductions, Skull and Crescent, andthe chairmanship of the Victory Van¬ities Committee,* ♦ *Other sophomores who have workedin the Dramatic Association are actorDick Orr and ace director Clark Ser¬gei. Orr, Beta rushing chairman, most Irecently played the part of “Leanderthe lover” in ‘‘The Doctor in Spite ofHimself”, while Sergei has demon¬strated his talent by directing theWorkshop successes, ‘‘Ghosts” andthe current ‘‘Awake and Sing”.Sophomore athletes are limited totrackmen Reed Later, Earl Ratzer,and Dan Barnes, none of whom hasearned his numerals. Ratzer, a Skulland Crescent man, i? out for cross¬country now, and Later is active inthe Debate Union. John Zurmuehlen,secretary of the chapter, and ple<lgesJack Jefferson, Bill Johnston, andGregory Hedden complete the class.Big Jack, Chicago Tribune campuscorrespondent, is a member of the an¬ti-intellectual minority of the fra¬ternity.* *: * ■However Betas like Jefferson aredefinitjy in the minority. Member ofthe majority is house president StuartMacClintock, fencer and member ofthe Dramatic Association. He ex-|)resses the unique purpose of the lo¬cal Beta chapter as follows: ‘‘Be¬lieving that a fraternity should adaptit.self to the type of university ofwhich it is a part. Beta places a ma¬jor emphasis on the development ofthe intellectual capacities of its mem¬bers.”This purpo.se is more than just anidealistic statement. Every Monday< vening a guest speaker such as Mr.Hutchins (who always eats from an-Alpha Delt plate), members of the•Abbey Irish Players, or a facultymember. Betas such as Walt Hippieoi William Remington, both of whomhave a straight “A” average, serve aseffective examples of the intellectualprowess of the fraternity. We mightmention in passing that Beta has thehighest scholastic average of all I.')houses.« m *Although the upperclassmen areexcellent students, few have been ac¬tive in campus affairs. The two mostoutstanding juniors are both membersof the Dramatic As.sociation. In ad¬dition to working on DA, Louis Welshplayed a lead in Blackfriars, and DavidPletcher is in the Debate Union. Bestknown senior is actor-dancer GrantAtkinson, who has starred in Black-fiiars and Mirror productions forthree years.Although Beta took third in theoutdoor intramural track meet, theyended up only one notch above thebottom in total participation points.Living expenses in the house arebelow the fraternity average withmonthly bills of $45 per month forlesident brothers and $14 per monthfor non-resident brothers. Beta istenth most expensive house. Pledgespay a total of $11 a month. The initia¬tion fee is $50.f^aw School ChoosesCouncil DelegatesBertram Warshaw and Robert Ben-es Were unanimously chosen to repre- jsent the senior class In the Law SchoolBar Association Council elections yes¬terday. James Dunkin and WilliamBrandt are the new junior members,Joseph Stein and Philip Lawrence, theonly member to be reelected, will rep-I’esent the sophomores, and DonaldWollett and Leroy Purvis are thefreshmen members. Movies Need CompetitionSays Bell, Moody LecturerBy HILLARD THOMAS‘‘What Hollywood needs,” declaredMonta Bell, motion picture producerand writer, speaking before a sizeableaudience last night in Mandel Hallunder the auspices of the WilliamVaughn Moody Foundation on MotionPictures as an Art, ‘‘is more competi¬tion if the movie industries there areto escape from the routine method offilm production and turn out picturesof real artistic merit.”Repudiating the idea the movie in¬dustry should be moved from Holly¬wood, Bell nevertheless declared ifmovie sets were constructed in NewYork and Chicago a freshness en¬gendered by the new enterpriseswould soon pervade and eventuallyregenerate the stereotyped productionmethods now in use on the west coast.‘‘The movie business is in need ofa William Shakespeare who will exerthis genius in furthering the mediumof the silver screen. Too many screenwriters now have never taken thetrouble to learn medium thoroughly.”Describing D. W'. Griffiths, CharlesChaplin, Walt Disney, and the newsreel as film epoch makers. Bell pointedout the movie industry was lusty, andin great need of some impulse whichwould abolish standardization andmake for the producing of artisticallyinclined movies.Sketching a few of the potential¬ities and handicaps of movies, Bel)spoke sharply against ‘‘Congressionalmeddling and the strict national cen¬sorship.”‘‘But movies can show both causeand effect on the screen,” added Bell,switching to the potentialities of thebusiness. ‘‘We can represent charac¬ters, and picture settings which itwould be impossible to do otherwise.Unfortunately we still must experi¬ment and d^bblti with this and that.But the industry has come far. Toadvance it more, Hollywood needscompetition.”DORM ELECTIONSOfficers for the coming year wereelected by the new Burton-Judsondormitory council at its week-endmeeting.

Juddin a speech yesterday in the SocialScience Assembly Room. But hehastened to add that Hawaiians arevery patriotic and only desired tobecome the forty-ninth of the UnitedStates.Governor Judd pointed out that thefederal government receives 175 mil¬lion dollars more from the territorythan it spends there, exclusive of na¬tional defense expenditures. In ad¬dition, only three nations have moretrade with the United States thanHawaii. Speaking of the territory’sindustry, Judd said that not only doHawaiian agricultural workers havean 8 hour day but they work through¬out the year and are the highestpaid agricultural workers in theworld.The cane suger industry is thelargest in the islands and employsfifty thousand of the territory’s fourhundred and fifty thousand inhabit¬ants. Though it is only thirty fiveyears old, the pineapple industry ofHawaii produced 85 per cent of theworld’s canned pineapple output lastThe only representative organiza¬tion within the Law School, the Coun¬cil’s most important function is itsco-operation with the Chicago LegalAid Clinic, for which it does researchwork. year.Turning from Hawaii’s industries,the speaker told of the federal gov¬ernment’s provisions for national de¬fence there and declared that theislands were ‘‘the spearhead of na¬tional defence in the Pacific.” Con¬tinuing, he spoke of Pearl Harbor,this country’s largest naval base andof Schoffield Barracks which is theonly army post in the country housinga complete division.

ICongress Hears HowTo Keep Out Of WarCorn-Filth ShineAs Greeks Cut UpAt Vanity PrelimsBy DICK HIMMELSkits for Victory Vanities are pro¬gressively getting unfunnier and un-funnier and cornier and cornier, butthrough it all good. Prime examplesof the fusion of corn and unfunninesswere executed by the Dekes and Al¬pha Delts. Corny as they were theyseemed to have the most fun. Run¬ners-up for corn were the Phi Gamswith a Reinhardt touch, and the PsiUs with Dick Salzmann’s glamourousgams.Most popuular motifs were ‘whatfootball team?’ and club rushing. ADPhi started theirs off in the CoffeeShop with the Plaster Boards et alrushing like mad. Corn or no corn;filth or no filth, the boys from ADPhi were having fun.* * *Dekes ended their skit with a jamsession led by the University’s acejitterbug, Don Warfield. Warfield isalways at his best while jiving.Most popular authors were FrankL. Baum of MGMWIZARDOFOZfame, and Gilbert and Sullivan alsoknown quite well around the Univer¬sity. The Chi Psis massacred G & Senough to put on a pretty good littleskit with Pete Atwater and JackCampbell doing the major emoting,and three dollies from school makingup the chorus.Most pretentious production was thePhi Gams little job, resembling a mi¬nor horse opera. Spectacle came whenducks flew in from the wings. Worrycame when the audience threw eggson the stage.* « XcThe cleanest of the lot was theKappa Sigma’s pleasing little job allabout a lighthouse keeper and hiswife and his son and mortician and adoctor.

The U.S. must keep out of thewar said Mr. Haydon, because devas¬tation will settle on the old world, andwe must preserve a place to startbuilding on the ruins. ‘‘Fellow Amer¬icans,” said he, ‘‘don’t let your intel¬lect, your heart, your body, be cap¬tured by war mania.”Steel workers know that Russia hasbeen seeking peace according toGeorge Patterson of the CIO. Steelworkers don’t want to make steel forwar purposes, he claims. The speakerpointed out that President Rooseveltis a millionaire, and most Congressmenare also rich men, and therefore, theymight have too keen an interest inwartime profits. Leaders had betterobserve the attitude of labor on ques¬tions of war and peace, the speakerstated.The question of war or peace in theU.S. will be determined by whetherthe forces of peace or the forces ofwar have the strongest organization,said William Patterson of the ‘‘DailyRecord”. The Allies tried to establishHitler as a bulwark against SovietRussia, even while they negotiated forRussian aid. Hitler refused because ofthe strength of the USSR, and be¬cause he feared forces of revolution in(Continued on page two)Hold Anti-WarMobilizationTo conduct investigations intoproblems of current economic impor¬tance with particular reference to theapplication of statistics and mathe¬matics is the purpose of the CowlesCommission for Research in Econom¬ics, formerly located in ColoradoSprings, Colorado, which moved to theUniversity this autumn.The commission, supported by pri¬vate donations, is affiliated with theEconometric Society, an internationalsociety for the advancement of eco¬nomic theory in its relation to statis¬tics and mathematics. The Univer¬sity will provide space and pay ap¬proximately half of the total salariesof the research director. ProfessorTheodore Yntema of the School ofBusiness, and of two research asso¬ciates.A function of the commission is toissue, from time to time, variousmonographs of an economic-statisticalnature without assuming responsibil¬ity for theories or opinions expressedwithin them. One of the chief ac¬tivities of the commission since hasbeen to hold annual research confer¬ences attended by economists andstatisticians from all over America aswell as fifteen foreign countries.

University students can¬not afford to slip into the lasttwo categories.To give students an insightinto the actual functions oflabor movements today, a cam¬pus Labor Problems Councilwas recently organized. As itsfirst major venture the Councilplans a symposium next Tues¬day afternoon in Kent 106. Allthree of the speakers scheduledare active in Chicago labor af¬fairs : August Scholle is region¬al director of the CIO; IshmaelFlory is a negro labor leader;and Mary Herrick a member ofthe Chicago Teachers’ Union.These people have had enoughexperience to be good authori¬ties for what they are going totalk about.For students who are takingcourses in labor problems, Tues¬day’s symposium has the natureof an example. It should showthem some specific and practicalapplications of the theories theyhave learned from books. Itshould enable them to under-.stand their theories better, andto become more proficientjudges of practicability in actualcircumstances of some generalprinciples they may havelearned.Since most students, how¬ever, don’t ever get around totaking courses in labor prob¬lems, the symposium offers themwhat may be their only oppor¬tunity, except for the daily news¬papers, of finding out what theworkingmen are doing. Andreaders of the Daily Maroonknow better than to repose anabsolute and unquestioning trustin the reliability of newspapers.Whether or not studentssympathize with unions, theyshould attend the symposium.If the three fail to convert them,or if they think the speechesoffend their reason, they cantake advantage of the questionperiod afterwards. If studentshave any objections to the di¬rections in which Chicago labormovements are going, any crit¬icisms or complaints aboutunions; if their opinions differfrom the ones presented Tues¬day, it is their duty to ask theirQuestions then. The people whoshould be responsible for an¬swering such objections will beon the spot. But if'students By ERNEST LEISERHutchins-Adler isn’t the toughestcourse in the University as its dicta¬tors boast it is. If gossip is gospel,it’s not the best course in the Univer¬sity, as its founders fondly feel it is.But it has one distinction.It’s got probably the most colorfulassortment of intellectuals, pseudo¬intellectuals, BMOC’s and would-beBMOC’s of any class on the Quad¬rangles. They’re all intimidated by thebig shot, except one Jerry Taylor, abrash cookie with the soul of a con¬scientious objector. But when theyget enough courage to talk, they saya lot, or a little very well.Without a doubt the nicest guy inthe course is Franz Oppenheimer,whose bright blue eyes and angelicsmile make him look like somethingoff a Christmas card.Most talkative laddie in the class isTucker Dean, who is perfectly willingto tell Hutchins everything he knows,unlike his roommate, Milton Semer,who speaks when spoken to. They’reneither of them as grpwn up as grad¬uate .students should be, spendingmore time in Janet Kalven’s discus¬sion pulling the ribbons on rotundSigma Polly Kivlan’s pretty hair, than jin pursuing the truth.Most obnoxious in the class is said ITaylor, who gets grimly but politely Ioutraged whenever Hutchins opens his jmouth, and spends lecture time tryingto chasten the president personally,.something that 40 years and millionsof alumni have failed to do.Most fa.scinating woman in the class—at least last Tuesday—was Kath¬arine Cornell.

LastMonday night, the Civic Opera Com¬pany made an excursion into relativeantiquity by presenting Pinza,Swarthout et al in the same quitemelodious little piece.Signor Schipa, as Wilhelm Meister,believing himself to be in Tosca,started off lustily with a bit of scenestealing during Swarthout’s very ca¬pable “Connais tu lo pays,” but madeup for it heartily later. Virginia Has¬kins debued as Philine, had a pleasantvoice, but unfortunately could not fillthe place. .Above all by far was FlzioPinza, who with the help of the com¬poser was able to build a grand finalewhile commuters rushed from thehouse.The bill this week has a few hits.Tonight, what is known to the tradeas Ham and Eggs, to laymen as ('av-alleria and I'agliacci, but Giannini isno ham.

Menuhin is to per¬form in the Brahms Violin Concerto,a most difficult piece both technicallyand musically.

Mr. Menuhin should make itseem simple.The Sibelius Third will be given oneof its rare hearings on the same pro¬gram. From rumors about town I un¬derstand the Finn is not often heai’dor often liked. Apparently the light ofKoussevitsky or any other of Sibel¬ius’s dozen or so “favorite conductors”has not struck.Schumann’s Rhenish Symphony wasread through by the orchestra of theUniversity for the second time Fridaynight in their pubilc rehearsals. Theboys did remarkably well in the firstand last movements.It was too bad that the auditorswere limited to a few friends waitingfor a beer and some Ida Noyes idlers,but then attention was distracted toa recital by the Swedish Singers, agroup whose charm principally restedon their Nordic masculinity, hired ap¬propriately by a fraternity.PLEDGINGPhi Kappa Sigma announces thepledging of Ben Bamford, New Haven,Conn.; Dan McCarthy, Evanston, Ill.;Clyde Moonie, San Francisco, Calif.;Stan Harris, Chicago; Lee Russell,Chicago; Charles Young, Montours-ville.

Commentsare still written in jest and in ridi¬cule of the football team. These com¬ments, undoubtedly, will resound untilChicago completes its disastrous sea¬son three weeks from now.But no matter how many puns andcracks are stated concerning theteam there is no excuse for factualerrors such as have been made bymetropolitan papers during the pastseason. Prime example, was the ban¬ner spread of Tuesday’s early editionof the Daily News. Although thereporter obtained a true story, themake-up desk of the evening paperdecided that Chicago’s players hadrebelled against Coach Shaughnessy,that they had used their own playsat Virginia, and that they had decidedto take matters into their own hands.Although a retraction came in alater edition, the damage had alreadybeen done.Such banner headlines do much tocreate a bad impression of the Uni¬versity and of the team. Anotherwrong impression came from thesame paper several weeks ago whenit was reported that T. Nelson Met¬calf, director of athletics, had statedthat Chicago would definitely lightenits schedule in the coming years. Met¬calf denies making any such state¬ment during the present season. Witha possible improvement in freshmanmaterial it is faintly possible thatsuch a step may not be necessaryand in reality it is this slight rayof hope that has kept the adminis¬tration quiet and which will probablysee it taking a non-committal standuntil the Big Ten Conference meet¬ing in December.Another favorite pastime of news¬paper reporters is to write an articleconcerning the daily practices with¬out even witnessing the actual pro¬ceedings. After all, the majority ofthe people who read the 8-point arenot those who have seen Chicagopractice. That accounts for the oc¬casional differences in fact betweenthat of the Daily Maroon and thatwhich appears in the large daily pa¬pers. The Maroon stories are writtenby eye-witness reporters in the knowwho have talked to the coaches andto the players before printing theirmaterial.Naturally, from a journalistic pointof view a large story with a bannerstreamer appeals to the innocentreader. Because the University ofChicago is making football historyat the moment, its progress is follow¬ed, and seemingly innocent stories areinflated until they become the leadstory. An apparently ignorant andunintentional change in wording maycreate a interesting story but onewhich is false and entirely mislead¬ing.While the Daily Maroon does notpat itself on the back (realizing full-well its faults) it does believe thatits stories have been factually correct.The truth can never hurt—it is onlythe tabloid interpretation of the truththat can harm the University.

The Ma¬roons had the most success whilehandling the foils and sabers. Theytook six foil matches while droppingthree and three out of four of the sa¬ber events. The two teams split the ifour epee matches evenly.Ben Pritz, Matthew Gladstone andDick Glasser stood out for the victors,winning seven matches between themand dropping only two. Pritz was un¬defeated in three foil matches, whileGladstone won two of his three in thisevent. Glasser lost only one of histhree matches with the sabers.The boys looked fairly good in win¬ning, but still had a few rough spotswhich need ironing out. It looks asthough they were in for a good sea¬son, however. The Aristotelians and the Bar As¬sociation played a scoreless first half,but things began to happen quicklyearly in the second stanza. ChuckWagenberg tossed a neat pass to Har¬ry Levin to make it 6-0 for the Aris¬totelians. Bud Lifton started anothertouchdown play shortly after inter¬cepting a Bar Association pass; heflipped the ball to Gene Johnson whopassed to Ellis Steinberg for the sec¬ond tally.Barristers ScoreBernie Krichever’s toss to GrantAdams late in the second half was thelawyers’ only tally.Aristotelian Lifton and Johnsonturned in a well-played defensivegame.Chicago Theological Seminary’shighly touted attack slowed down to aminor skirmish before the Jailbirds.Ernie Brogmus, fresh from the horse¬shoe pitching wars, and Lenny Wiegeloutdid themselves for the winners.Brogmus scored twice in the first half—first after a series of basketball lat¬erals and next on a pass from Wiegelafter he had intercepted a CTS pass.W’iegel ScoresWiegel opened up the second halfscoring on another pass interceptionand then heaved the ball to LeonardSwec for the extra point.
