No. 28 Z-149 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1939 Price Three CentsSchollCf Herrick, FloryDiscuss Labor Movement ScopePhi GammaDelta* * *By JOHN STEVENSPhi Gamma Delta is a well balancedhouse. The 31 Phi Gams, six of whomare pledges, are evenly distributed a-mong the three classes. The brothers(lid well in intramurals, won the Qual¬ity Cup in the Inter-fraternity Sing,and pay less than all but one frater¬nity to live in their chapter house.Phi Gams or Fiji's, (from the pro¬nunciation of Phi as “Fee” and the ab¬breviation of Gamma to “Gee”) werefinalists in the touchball, basketball,and baseball I-M tournaments lastyear, and will play for the 1939 fra¬ternity touchball championship thisafternoon. Although they did well inthese major sports, Fijis were not asconsistent in minor sports, and conse-(luently ranked tenth in total points.Pledges pay monthly bills of $5 tocover their dues and Monday nightsuppers. After they go through HellWeek and pay a $60 initiation fee,they will be charged $44.60 a month tolive in the house, or $11.50 a monthif they are non-resident.The busiest man in the house is sen¬ior Jerry Moberg. In addition to work¬ing as cashier in the Reynolds Clubbarber shop, and running the Univer¬sity Sign Shop, Moberg has a posi¬tion on the Board of Superiors ofBlackfriars and is a member of theReynolds Club Council. Other import¬ant seniors are Jack Vertuno, “C” manin fencing and ma.«ter of legerder-main, and Ted White, president of thechapter and member of Blackfriars.Most outstanding junior is rushingchairman, Charles Paltzer, who is amember of the Dramatic Associationand plays in the University Band. Hisbiggest activity is Blackfriars, ofwhich Ke is business manager, and apotential abbot. The junior class in¬cludes three C men, Frank McCrackenand Art Lopatka, baseball star's, andAlan Robertson, gymnast.The 11 man sophomore delegationincludes seven athletes. Azad Sark-esian, after earning numerals in foot¬ball, won his division in the intramuralwrestling meet. He had one of the leadsin Blackfriars. Likeable Armand Don-ian, football and basketball man, re¬cently started to work on the Daily.Maroon sports staff. A1 Rider and TomDvorsky stood out in both track andfootball, while Allan Wisely restrictedhis endeavors to the gridiron (getit?) Golfer Frank Brunner worked onBlackfriars, whereas Alfred Norlingdid so well in the I-M cage tourneythat he made the fraternity all-starteam. Paul Jone, Robert Brownwell,and Ben Ploshay, who is active on theMaroon business staff and the Stu¬dent Publicity Board, ^ complete theclass.In scholarship Fijis are below av¬erage. Last year they ranked tenth of16 fraternities.Phi Gamma Delta was originallyfounded at Washington and JeffersonCollege on April 17, 1848. The na¬tional organization grew rapidly, andnow includes 73 chapters. In a non¬partisan survey conducted by a coun¬cil of eight men, each representingdifferent fraternities. Phi Gamma Del¬ta was rated the strongest fraternityin the country. Among their prom¬inent alumni the brothers boast aboutCalvin Coolidge, and Alf Landon.Meyer-Oakes HelpsName New PandaSu Sin, San Wwa, and Ting Jinmight look like a lot of chop suey tothe uninitiated, but it’s actually breadand butter to the Chicago Daily News.As a circulation stunt, the News issponsoring a contest to name the newpanda slated to arrive at BrookfieldZoo as a playmate for oldtimer “MeiMei,” The sex of the slated arrival hasnot yet been discovered.

Slichter Tells“China Thrills”At Campus StagITruth backs strange fiction into thecorner tomorrow night when JackSlichter tells the story of his life inChina, 7:30, at the Reynolds Club “AllCampus Smoker.”Slichter was born of British par¬ents in the wildest corner of Chinanear Tibet, and until his eighth birth¬day he could speak or understandnothing but Chinese. Before he wasfifteen, he had already seen a lifetime of adventure.His father and sister were viciouslymurdered by Chinese bandits whilehe and his mother looked on helpless¬ly, and then they spent weeks of wearytramping with the bandit gang. Afterthis experience Jack once more es¬caped the hands of fate when he andsome other students were kidnappedby pirates olf the coast of China. Thepirates, looking for swag, found onlystudents and oranges. Jack returnedsafely and then joined the Red Crossin Shanghai working with truck,shovel, and broom sweeping up humanwreckage scattered over the streetsfollowing Japanese bombings.Two years ago Jack left China andspent time in Japan, the PhilippineIslands, Singapore, Ceylon, Egypt,Italy, France, England, and finally theUniversity of Edinburgh in Scotland.

Aides, MarshalsPlan Senior ElectionASU SponsorsChinese Film,^AOO Million’^Joris Ivens and John Ferno, whomade “The Spanish Earth,” havebrought to the screen the struggle ofthe Chinese people against their Ja¬panese aggressors, and the AmericanStudent Union is bringing their filmto the campus. “The Four HundredMillion” will be presented by the ASUin Kent theatre next Friday at 4:30and 8. Admission to each performancewill be 25 cents.Frederic MarchAlthough Frederic March speaksthe commentary, and Mme. ChiangKai-Shek figures prominently in themotion picture, the people of Chinaare the real heroes of “The FourHundred Million.” The inevitableshots of sensational warfare bulk nolarger that the portrait of the peopleas a whole, and the statement of theircause. Instead of being able to make avillage the focal point of their action,with strongly individualistic types fortheir characters, as was the case in thefilming of “The Spanish Earth,” theproducers have had to range over avast territory and deal with greatcrowds rather than with personalities.Ivens shifted his approach to the sub¬ject and his treatment of it to meetthese new conditions, and though thefilm is of necessity somewhat diffuseand episodic it retains its unity oftheme.National SponsorsAmong directors of History Today,Inc., national sponsors of the Chinesemovie, are Lillian Heilman, LuiseRainer, Dudley Nichols, W. OsgoodField, Dorothy Parker, Archibald Mac-Leish, Ernest Hemingway, and Her¬man Shumlin.

Tobe nominated for places on the coun¬cil, seniors must get 25 signatures ofclassmates on a petition. The peti¬tions must be turned into the Deanof Student’s office by midnight ofWednesday, November 22, if candi¬dates want their names on the ballot.No person may sign more than threepetitions.Only seniors listed on an eligibilitylist in the Dean’s office are eligibleto vote. They must identify them¬selves to the pollwatchers, but theywill not sign the ballots, which willbe secret. They may vote for onlyfive candidates, and if they break therules, their vote will be nullified.TabulationsThe three men and the three wom¬en with most votes—will be deter¬mined, and then of the six, the onewho has the least votes will be elim¬inated. The other five will form thecouncil, and will choose their ownchairman.Pfeiffer said that he was in favorof the council form of governmentrather than the idea of having aclass president, because it would beless likely to make the office a merepolitical plum for some senior whowas able to get a pressure group be¬hind him. He said that he didn’tknow how much interest the classwould show, but that the committeehad performed its function in plan¬ning for the election, and it was now(Continued on page two)Class-Going Students MakeBetter Grades - BrumbaughCIO, AF of L Represen¬tatives Speak in Kent106 at 3:30.Are you just an average student,or one whose grades are below “C”?If so, you had better go to class, andnot just take an “R” for your courses.Are you in the upper twenty-fivepercent of the grade brackets? If so,it doesn’t make much differencewhether you go to class or not, you’llbe likely to pull down “A’s” and “B’s”just the same.This is not mere advice. It is sta¬tistical information compiled by as¬sistants of Dean Aaron J. Brumbaughover the summer, from the recordsof college students, 204 of whom hadtaken “R’s” in one or more surveycourses, and an equal number of whomMetropolitan StarsVisit Opera HourBeauteous Helen Jepson and TitoSchipa and Joseph Bentonelli willlend glamor to this afternoon’s OperaHour.

DeanBrumbaugh said that one possible an¬swer might be that they participatemore in extra-curricular activitiesthan men do. He didn’t offer otherpossible explanations.The table of results of the surveyalso revealed that the' wasn’t a sig¬nificant difference in le grades madeby women who took courses for pointcredit, and those who only went toclass often enough to get “R’s.” How¬ever, there was some difference be¬tween women in the upper gradebrackets and women who only got av¬erage grades.But men who took courses for quar¬terly grades, on the whole did better,whether they were average or badstudents, than those who didn’t both¬er to do the assigned work.Dean Brumbaugh’s reason for pub¬lishing the survey was so studentscould know the effects of taking ad¬vantage of the New Plan. He was notadvocating that students go to classesif they didn’t want to. He promisedthat no action to make them go wouldbe taken, but he said that studentsshould at least know what the effectsof their action would be.Ida Noyes CouncilElects Frosh WomenAreta Kelble, head of Ida NoyesCouncil, yesterday announced thenames of the freshmen women electedto the Council.

Ernest I.eiserNight Editor: Demarest PolacheckAssistant: Marjory GoodmanAfter Such PleasuresMr. Hutchins has failed us.Either that, or he has deliber¬ately and maliciously sought toruin us.Despite his often-made andwell known protestations of ap¬proval of exercise for others, hehas failed to give us a 'winning |football team; he has failed to 'give the hordes of typically loyaland enthusiastic Saturday after- jnoon spectators a chance to ex-1ercise more of their bodies than 'the muscles needed for yawningand groaning. At last we knowwhose fault it is that the Chica¬go goal line has become the fa¬vorite campus meeting place forvisitors from other schools.It is with regret that the |Daily Maroon makes these idreadful charges. For many |years, and sometimes in the face :of almost insurmountable ob¬stacles, w^e have been Mr.Hutchins’ personal organ. But,like a conscience in a soul, wemust continue our renownedtradition of serving the truthrather than the president. So |we fearlessly declare our awful Iaccusations with all the solem-1nity appropriate to them. [We have heard recently thatMr. Hutchins let it fall thatwith only $14,000 he could getus a team that would make theRose Bowl as well as $40,000for the University. We heardthat he refused to perform thisservice because it would requirehim to become a good judge ofcattle, and Chicago is alreadynoted for one stockyards.Good judge of cattle indeed!Our president might just as welladmit that it is only his ownlaziness which prevents himfrom acquiring this skill everygood university head shouldhave! The very fact that hedoesn’t already possess it showshim unfit to be a leader; showsthat he has a mistaken concep¬tion of what a university stu¬dent is. Or else there is a moresinister interpretation of Mr.Hutchins’ words: our presidenthas sold out to the Chicago meatmarket trusts who want a mo¬nopoly on this part of the mid-dlewest.With hushed breath we re¬peat another rumour, still morehorrible. It seems that the con¬federates of this man who isresponsible for the administra¬tion of our school refused TomHarmon, a Berwanger admirer,admission here merely becausethey weren’t satisfied with hishigh school record! Even ifthe.se rumours are not true, howmuch longer can we survivewith a president, who by all hiswords and action, lends an ap¬ pearance of authenticity to suchcharges?Students of the University ofChicago, know this man whospeaks for you to the country!Much as he may deny responsi¬bility for instigating the policieswhich have made the Universitynotorious from coast to coast, hehas continued them; that isenough to convict him. SinceHutchins has been president wehave become a byword for in¬tellectual progress, for pursuitof truth for its own sake. “TheUniversity of Chicago? Oh,that’s where people study.”Though we here may know suchcharges are often only libellous,outsiders who hear Hutchinsthink they are true. Can westand to have any more of thesethings said of us?Two more games remain be¬fore us. We may yet vindicateourselves. Taking its cue froma few loyal alumni whom alcoholhad led so far to the true courseof action that they howled forthe president’s blood outside hishouse rather early Sundaymorning, the Daily Maroon willtell how.Gather all available copies ofAristotle’s works and burnthem. Burn Cobb Hall, the LawSchool, Eckhart, and a few otherbuildings too. Dynamite thelibraries; leave Harper stand¬ing—its third floor, at least, isnot much of a menace. Dismem¬ber Hutchins’ body and placethe pieces on our own goal line.In this way we may yet proveto the rest of the world that weare not what they think.For the benefit of our “mis-Quoters” in the metropolitanpapers, this is satire.

PECK !What is known as a musical eventcame off last Thursday evening whena great virtuoso met a masterpiecewritten for his kind. Menuhin playedthe Brahms Violin Concerto withHans Lange and the symphony. Theenormously intricate passages of thefirst movement, made to test the bowof Joachim, came from Menuhin withthe graceful ‘force, the completelyself-controlled ease, and the marvelousillusion of simplicity which are thesigns of highest artistry.Even long standing admirers of theyoung man must have been surprised,because he has achieved more com¬posure and maturity in the last yearor so. His always romantic approachwas well fitted to the piece, so thatthe singing adagio sang.^ *Chicago’s introduction to the ThirdSymphony of Sibelius was somewhatof a surprise, because the work lacksmany of the earmarks of that man.Outstanding was the second move¬ment with a petite theme introducedby the flute in thirds and developed ina classical manner with subleties ful¬ly appreciated by Hans Lange.The orchestra will work overtimethis week, producing five concerts.This afternoon finds Schumann andBrahms on the program, with someof Schwanda to add fluff. The war-delayed performance of Bu.soni’s Pi¬ano Concerto will be presented by oneof the composer’s students, well-known Egon Petri, on Thursday eve¬ning. The third of the Sat. nightpops will skip lightly from Haydn toSibelius.* * *.Money for the opera this weekshould go on the Sat. mat. perform-1ance of Verdi’s Falstaff.

Disc andDescant* * ♦By FRIEDA WEITZMANThe influence of Haydn and Mozartis clearly seen in the earlier works ofBeethoven, and especially in his stringtrios is this noticeable. The PasquierTrio has recorded the Trio, Op. 9 No.1 (Columbia Album M-384), a bright,cheerful work on the whole, whichends in a rustic folk dance which hasa distinctly Russian melodic strain.Beethoven’s string trios are attract¬ing more attention than they have hadin the past, many according them aplace above the more frequentlyplayed quartets.♦ ♦ ♦Since the recent advent of the Man¬uel and Williamson Harpsichord En¬semble more local attention bas beendirected toward this old-world instru¬ment. Opportunely, here is a recordingof a graceful little sonata of K.P.E.Bach, played by Yella Pessl, scholar¬ly exponent of the harpsichord. Thissonata is the first of the WurtemburgSonatas (Victor Album M-606). Han¬del’s Fantasia in A Minor for harpsi¬chord completes this two-record al¬bum.TYPEWRITERSAll MakesSOLDTRADEDREPAIREDRENTEDPORTABLES OR LARGECASH OR TERMSWOODWORTH'SBOOK STORE1311 E. 57th St. Open EveningsNear Kimbark Ave. Dorchester 4800HYMARX OUTLINESI' Prepared by scholars...

As was pointed outin the downtown papers Sunday, thepowerful Buckeyes were held in checkfor most of the first period and Chi¬cago succeeded in penetrating to theOhio nine yard line.Following this early spurt, though,the holocaust was just about whathad been predicted. Some of the dope-sters were a bit rash in their pre¬game scorecasts—one even went ashigh as 86-0. Most of the forecasterswere just about right, however; theonly feature of the game which wasparticularly surprising was the spiritwhich the Maroons showed in thefirst period.Shaughnessy PleasedAfter ■ a month and a half of in¬tensive drill, Coach Shaughnessy feelsthat he is beginning to get somewherewith the team. Their tackling Sat¬urday showed a marked improvementover their last appearance on StaggField, and except for the passing,they appear to have made correspond¬ing gains in the other departmentsof the game. The Field judge at theOhio game has done some officiatingat other contests on the Midway, andhis comment was that Chicago wasquite a different team from the onewhich had started the season.Partly as a reward for the better-than-average play in the game andpartly in order that they might re¬cover from minor injuries, Shaugh¬nessy excused eight regulars frompractice yesterday. The rest of thesquad was put through the usuallight workout which takes place everyMonday following a game.Faculty MembersEnjoy BadmintonAt Ida NoyesStudents are not the only peopleat the University who go in for theincreasingly popular game of bad¬minton.
