Wht Batlp itaionVol. 40. No. 30 Z-149 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1939 Price Three CentsZeta BetaTau« * *By JOHN STEVENSZeta Beta Tau is reputed to be oneof the most expensive houses on cam¬pus. This reputation is completely un¬founded, although monthly bills at theZBT house are slightly larger than ateither of the other Jewish houses. Thefraternity ranks eighth of the 15 fra¬ternities on campus, and therefore isjust average financially.The one ZBT pledge, sophomoreHoward Winkleman, pays $19.60 ev¬ery month. After he has paid the $100initiation fee, he will be billed $24 permonth, provided he does not move in¬to the house. Little Mort Slobin andthe five other brothers who live inthe chapter house pay $54 a month.Three of the most prominent sen¬iors are important in campus publi¬cations. Vice-president of the chapter,f]mil Hirsch, is editor of Pulse and amember of Owl and Serpent. Ted Hy¬man is associate business manager ofthe magazine. On the board of controlof the Daily Maroon, is Sports EditorBill Grody. The man who is responsi¬ble for the success or failure of theInter-fraternity Ball is IF Councilmember Dick Glasser, who will be one(»f the leaders of the ball. Harry JohnLevi is on the Student Social Com¬mittee.Two-thirds of the juniors are activein extra-curricular affairs. These men,.lohn Levinsohn, Bud Aronson, HartWurzburg, and Hays Solis-Cohen,spend most of their efforts on publi¬cations. Although Levinsohn ranks asa junior, this is only his second yearin school; hence his eligibility forSkull and Crescent of which he is amember. He is circulation manager ofthe Cap and Gown and a numeral win¬ner in fencing. ^Still hoarse from last weekends’homecoming events is head cheerlead¬er, Bud Aronson. Aronson who is sec¬retary of the Settlement Board, be¬longs to Iron Mask. Wurzburg is chair¬man of the publicity committee forHillel and an editorial associate onthe Maroon. Our most loyal critic.Hays Solis-Cohen, is advertising man¬ager of Pulse and works on the Stu¬dent Social Committee.Sophomores Myles Jarrow andRichard Kahl are on the business staffof the Maroon, while Charles Blue-stein and Jay Fox are budding youngbusiness men affiliated with Pulse.Rushing chairman Fox, is also a mem¬ber of Skull and Crescent, Black-friars, the Settlement Board, and hasassisted the Social Committee. RayWitcoff is president of the recentlyformed Hillel League, a member ofthe Political Union, and the StudentForum. Transfer Dick Wile, who wasformerly affiliated with the Michiganchapter, is out for water polo. Pingpong artist Eddie Morganroth is houseintramural chairman. Marvin Mitchellalso plays ping pong.In scholarship the brothers consist¬ently place near the top. Last yearthey ranked second. In intramuralsthe reverse is true. They ended up ina tie for twelfth place last year.Nationally Zeta Beta Tau wasfounded in 1898 at New York Uni¬versity. The local chapter was estab¬lished in 1918. There are 32 names onthe ZBT chapter roll, which is thelongest of any Jewish fraternity rep¬resented at Chicago.In conclusion it seems appropriateto say that Aronson, Grody, Hirsch,Solis-Cohen, and Wurzburg have suc¬cessively come in to comment on whatlousy guys Zeta Betes are. I thinkthey were just leaning over back¬wards in an effort to be unbiased.Student Crash MakesLoudest Stirof the YearNo one was injured when two carscarrying five University studentscrashed yesterday afternoon at thecorner of 58th st. and University ave.Dave Wiedeman, driving a ’37 Fordsedan, and fraternity brother BillCaudill was driving north on Univer¬sity when a car driven by Ivan Heis-ler crashed into him as he went easton 68th. Nef DeliversSecond LectureIn Law Series—Points to Similarity inEarly French, ModernU. S. Institutions.By JUDY PETERSONWithout drawing the comparisonshimself, John U. Nef, professor ofeconomic history, made clear yester¬day afternoon some startling similari¬ties between French royal interven¬tion in industry in the 16th and 17thcenturies, and certain Americangovernmental measures today. Hegave his second lecture for the LawSchool series, on “Relations BetweenIndustrial and Constitutional Historyin England and France from 1485 to1642.”The mining industry in France waslittle more than an adjunct of theroyal government. The crown grantedconcessions to individual enterprisers,unfailingly gathered in the revenuefrom the enterprise, and made its ownregulations for all phases of the in¬dustry. The elaborate administrativeset-up included officials for the col¬lection of these revenues, for thegranting of concessions and privilege,and for a monopolistic version ofworkers’ compensation. Of the lat¬ter it can only be said that the royalinterest lay rather more with themorals of workers than in alleviatingtheir economic and political exploita¬tion. Surgeons were employed to carefor their health, but these w'ere out¬numbered by the priests who assidu¬ously regulated their private lives.Religious pressure on the people wasan important element in preservingthe royal monopoly.The second great field^ of the(Continued on Page Three) Tell Plan for jConduct Scrvicc ForSSiS- Weber Um.Provisions for accepting contribu¬tions for the new Literary Supple¬ment sponsored by the Daily Maroonhave been completed through the co¬operation of the English department.Starting today details of submittingmanuscripts will be announced ineach English course, graduate andundergraduate, of the University. Bythis method the Maroon hopes toreach the maximum number of stu¬dents interested in creative writing.Vital to SuccessIt is vital to the success of thesupplement that the work of a widerange of campus writers be published.Otherwise the page becomes the per¬sonal organ of a closely-knit group.To ward against this possibility, noabsolute date has been set for theappearance of the supplement. Con¬tributions for the first issue shouldbe in before December 5, however.The enterprise as a whole is di¬rected toward satisfying the urgentneed for publication of the best crea¬tive work of University students andfaculty members interested in crea¬tive writing. The supplement invitestheir contributions of poems, essaysor short stories under 1000 words.The Manuscripts should be left withMiss Fister, English departmentalsecretary, in Ingleside 304 ratherthan the Maroon office They mustbe accompanied by the name and ad¬dress of the contributor, but ifdesired will be printed under a nomde plume.Marian Castleman, literary editorassures the most careful considera¬tion of each manuscript submitted.In addition, the cooperation of theEnglish department, with the au¬thority of Chairman Ronald SalmonCrane, will guarantee a scope to theI enterprise ,jiot. equalled by any cam-I pus literary publication for manyI years. ROBERT M. HUTCHINSThompson,Matthews,Named EditorsKnights of The Road Air ViewsOn College Educational PoliciesThree hoboes, “Deacon” Morris,“Step and a Half” Sheridan and the“Cosmic Kid” from the Institute forSocial Science of North Clark streetpatricipated in a debate yesterday be¬fore Student Forum members in Lex¬ington. The “Deacon”, it seems, al¬ways has difficulty in keeping his ap¬pointments and yesterday was no ex¬ception. The reason? “Step and aHalf” was in jail and the “CosmicKid” was roaming around the remark¬able establishments along Clarkstreet. The “Deacon”, being a remark¬able fixer, somehow managed to get“Step and a Half” out of jail and findthe “Cosmic Kid” just before his raywas getting dimmed by getting sous¬ed. Anyhow, all three of them madeit on time.Said “Step and a Half” Sheridan,“The world’s progress has not beenmade by thinkers, but by those whoknow how to handle things, not ideas.These men were not damaged by aUniversity education. All of that junkmetaphysics, theology, philosophy,and religion should be abolished.”Fixer “Deacon” was the most adeptspeaker of the three. Part of his talkran as follows; “I think that the hu¬manities, engineering, and social re¬construction should be the main pro¬gram of any University, however, thedanger of wearing an educationalbadge should be avoided. I do not careabout “literary sponges”, such asHutchins’ plan of education wouldevolve. It’s too exclusive.” He con¬cluded by saying that in 10 or 15years there will be a socialization andKen Wa^rren, ViolinExpert, Speaks FridayKenneth Warren, an outstandingexpert on string instruments and cur¬ator of the Wurlitzer Collection,speaks tomorrow as a special lecturerin Music 241. This course deals with |the history of the orchestra and in- jstruments and meets on Fridays at i10 in room 201 of the Music Building.Warren, who will talk about famousviolins, is the country’s outstanding ]authority on Stradivari, Amati, and jother famous violins. i our whole type of thinking would bechanged.The “Cosmic Kid” proudly announcedthat he graduated from many colleges,the most important one being the Col¬lege of Chislers. He also claimed thathe ventured into literature and thatthose who spent too much time withit became “drunk and dizzy” withbooks. The “Cosmic Kid” is quite ver¬satile, for he said that he wrote a bestseller, “Evolution in the Concepts ofLove”.Two Forum members, Louise Land-man and A1 Cooper also had a partin the debate, which was titled, “Re¬solved: That Hutchins’ Plan for High¬er Education Should be GenerallyAdopted.”Campus Cops RushAid to Hutch; OustSots at Daybreak“Man is a rational animal,” -exceptwhen he’s soused.Par example: The two inebriateswho parked themselves on PresidentHutchins’ front step at daybreakabout 8:30 Sunday morning.They spent the time alternatelystaggering to the door yelling “Hutch!Hutch! Oh Hutch! C’mon out,” andsitting on the steps imbibing quartbottles of milk. Both procedures, atthat point, were obviously futile.Eventually someone did come to thedoor. The short conversation whichensued ended by Inebriate No. I’smumbling magnanimously, “S’all rightWe’ll wait.”The wait was not a long one. Soonafterwards a car full of campus po¬licemen drove up. The two Inebriateswere joined by a third, who had beenresting in a car across the street.Police and Inebriates went into ahuddle; signals were exchanged. Thenext play found the thwarted Ine¬briates driving sadly down the street,clo.sely followed by the police car.Who were they? What were they?Where were they going? The an¬swers to all but the last question re¬main a mystery. Appointment of John Thompson asPhotography . Editor of Cap andGown was announced yesterday byHarold Wright. As editor he will beresponsible for co-ordination of thephotography staff with the editorialpolicies of the 1940 Cap and Gown.As a junior officer, Thompson is inline for a position on the board ofControl for next year’s Cap and Gown.Another Junior Officer, Robert Mat¬thews, has been appointed Sports Ed¬itor.

Piara Gill, an A-merican Indian, was elected president,and Warren Henry and Peggy Otiswere elected vice president and secre¬tary respectively. Both are Amer¬icans. President Robert M. Hutchins, ofthe University of Chicago, and Har¬old R. Swift, chairman of the Univer¬sity’s Board of Trustees, will beamong speakers at a pubilc memorialservice for James Weber Linn, pro¬fessor of English at the University,who died July 16 Approximately twothousand friends of Professor Linnwill attend the service which will beheld in Rockefeller Memorial Chapelthis afternoon at 4:30.SpeakersBesides President Hutchins and Mr.Swift, the speakers will include Fred¬eric Woodward, vice-president emeri¬tus of the University; Senator JamesM. Slattery, who will read a messagefrom Governor Henry Horner; Pres¬ident Sydney Snow of the MeadvilleTheological Seminary; Percy H.Boynton, professor of English; andCharles W. Gilkey, dean of the Chap¬el, who will give the benediction.Professor Linn, one of the bestknown and most popular members ofthe University community, had beenassociated with the University sincethe second year of its existence, firstas a student, and for more than fortyyears as a faculty member. He hadbeen a full professor since 1919.Among students Professor Linn wasprobably the best liked member of theUniversity’s faculty; generations ofthem affectionately called him “Ted¬dy,” and after their graduation hoard¬ed the countless anecdotes and quipswhich made his name legendaryamong alumni.Valued Faculty MemberA valued member of the Univer¬sity’s faculty Professor Linn was alsoactive in half a dozen other fields.He wrote an estimated two millionwords of editorials and columns forChicago newspapers as well as sever¬al textbooks and novels. He was theauthorized biographer of Jane Ad-dams, his aunt.He was elected a member of the Il¬linois assembly from the Fifth dis¬trict in 1938. He was a member of Al¬pha Delta Phi fraternity and wasfamiliar at Stagg Field as one of themost devoted followers of athleticson the Midway.Professor Linn was born in Winne¬bago, Ill., in 1876.Co-op Plans to Turn‘‘Quick Snack^^ IntoPaying BusinessPulse Shuns ReviewingPukse is out today. We wantedto review Pulse. The editor of Pulsedidn’t want us to review Pulse. Wedon’t know why. As one of the first innovations ofits new “city manager” government,the Ellis co-op plans to experimentwith staying open late in the eve¬nings. Since in the past few weeks,getting “snacks” in the kitchen hasalready become a co-op tradition, ajoint committee of the housing andeating co-ops has decided to investi¬gate the possibilities of having a per¬manent co-op soft drink “night club.”Harold Guetzkow, the new co-opmanager, has been given authority toinaugurate the new system. Accord¬ing to his present plans, the co-opwill be open on Monday, Wednesday,and Friday evenings from 9:30 to11:30. All co-op members, theirfriends, and students interested in co¬operatives are invited to attend thegrand opening next Monday night andconsume almost unlimited quantitiesof sandwiches, soda pop, hot choco¬late, and whatever else is available.If the two weeks assigned as an ex¬perimental period prove successful,financially and otherwise, the “nightclub” plans to expand its servingtime and bill of fare.Page Two THE DAILY MAROON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1939©ailg ^aroonFOUNDED IN 1901MEMBER ASSOCIATED COLLEGIATE PRESSThe Daily Maroon is the official student newspaper of the Uni¬versity of ChicaKo, published tnorninKs except Saturday, Sunday andMonday during the Autumn, Winter and Spring quarters by TheDaily Maroon Company, 5831 University avenue.

Rubins, John Stevens,Hart Wurzburg, Marian Castleman, Ernest LeiserNight Editor: Richard PhilbrickStudents and ActionThe resolutions session of the Keep-America-Out-of-the-War Congress voted last week toestablish a continuation committee to carryon its work. For part of its program nextquarter the committee plans a demonstrationagainst war. Besides setting up this worthycommittee the resolutions session also passedupon a long series of pronouncements decid¬ing both general and particular questions aboutthe war. All this was accomplished in thespace of less than two hours, and by a groupof people not large enough to fill more thana small third of Ida Noyes theater.It may, however, seem strange to some thatstudents were able to make up their minds soquickly about even the confusing theoreticalquestions concerning this war; let alone formpractical decisions regarding them. Even withthe benefit of a town hall meeting the nightbefore the session and seminars that after¬noon it still seems rather amazing. The Keep-America-Out-of-the-War Congress is one of themost recent examples of what makes manypeople object to student action groups.Those attending school are only imperfectlyeducated. If they already knew all they neededto know what sense would there be in bother¬ing to hang around campus any longer? Whilecollege students will become citizens some dayand have to make up their minds about prac¬tical political problems, although universitygraduates should be expected to become theleaders in our democratic society; still whilethese potential citizens and leaders have to goto school, they are only in the process of learn¬ing. Their academic knowledge is as yet in¬complete : how can they expect to take the leadin practical affairs that require much informa¬tion, study, and experience? 1. “They find fiendish glee in leading a man on forhalf the night and leaving him cold for the rest of thenight.” Some one said Caroline Wheeler and I don’tknow anyone like that.2. “They blush at a dirty story, and then go tell itto the girls.”—Hays Solis-Cohen gets places. That’sthe only logical explanation of his phenomenal success.3. “They know so much about clothes but manageto invent the stinkiest combinations.”—Look at MyraItkonnen.4. “Short fat women always wear boleros or bustleskirts.” I don’t know of any short, fat women. 5.“Women who can wear boleros or bustle skirts neverdo.” Blanche Graver certainly could, and it’s a hell ofa trick not to. —What’s a bolero?6. “Though a girdle may be a necessity, it alwaysrides up and must be pulled down in public.” SomePsi U (I only know about five) toldme Lillian Luter. She’s a hypocrite,if I ever met one.7. “Whenever a shoulder strapslips, they always dive after it atdinner or any other inappropriateplace.” Small fry Ira Glick pops in¬to my mind. I have an evil mind.8. “They wear angora sweatersand other stuff which leaves obviousmarks of feminine occupation onmasculine shoulders.” The .MortarBoards may be haughty, but you Today on theQuadranglesCamera Club: Reynolds Club, D,8:00.Socialist Club (2nd International):“How Can America Fight Imperialismand Stay out of the War”.

A1 Schmus doesn’t drink much.11. “They are forever sticking their noses intostrictly masculine fields of occupation and trying disas¬trously to run newspapers, department stores, andother positions requiring brains.” I can’t think of any¬one because all the women I know in activities are muchsmarter than the men. Like Pat Schrack.12. “They get angry if a man kisses them goodnight,and angry if he doesn’t.” It sounds familiar.By the knowledge they get in schools, stu¬dents hope some day to improve the world.A practical justification for education is theassumption that much strife and unrest is dueto the fact that things have been done thewrong way; that misery can be lessened byintelligent and informed administration. Butif those who are expected to become the in¬telligent and informed don’t wait till theirknowledge is more nearly complete, how canthey ever clear up the sorry muddles the world 13. “They wear hats with veils while dancing.” Oh,sin of sins, and I’m told Shirley Berton is guilty of it.14. “They get on your nerves when they try to beone of the boys at a party.” .Margery Sterns is just abig good-hearted fellow.1.5. “They wear ruffled petticoats.” Big Hugh Ren-dleman.

The book, to be publishedby Simon and Schuster, has been writ¬ten for the average student or otherperson who wishes to continue hiseducation.Tying in with the Hutchins-Adlertheory of education, in which correctreading is the cornerstone, the vol¬ume will be an explication of Adler’stheory in greater detail than he has lpreviously given in his lectures onreading.The book is divided into three sec¬tions, the first of which concerns edu¬cation and reading; how badly the lat¬ter is usually done, and the import ofreading correctly. Section two con¬tains rules for reading expository lit¬erature, and the third part deals withimaginative literature, its place, andwhat the great books are.

Most of these groups haveaccomplished nothing of noteworthy value.Usually don.biated by the same sets of peoplethey have, for the most part, been branded as“radical” and shunned by the rest of the cam¬pus. When criticized, these groups make thetrue reply that they can’t help being what theyare: most of the campus is too apathetic to doany work; those who are interested enough toshow initiative are usually radicals because theliberals don’t seem to know what they wantanyway.But if only those working for a cause, whichisn’t necessarily the cause of either theoreticalor practical truth are interested in workingfor action organizations, then it is questionablewhether any organizations concerned primar¬ily with action about off-campus matters areappropriate to the University.Students here who want to get good valuefor their tuition money haven’t much time towork effectively for any other causes. Themenace of war makes some of them think theremay not even be much time left for studying.If they try to compromise too much betweenpolitical action and studies, most of them willbe efficacious neither as actors nor students. Which includes the more moderate of the critici.sms.Lacking the courage of Himmel, and the discretion ofJohnny Stevens, and the super-knowledge of Florian [and Crowe, that’s all I can say in the column, since 11can’t say that Phi Psi Johnny White was invited to a [Beta open house for freshmen, or that Dave Wiedmann ;was in an accident, because there already is a story Iabout it. :Letters To The EditorBoard of Control,The Daily Maroon:I was somewhat surprised to read in the Daily Ma¬roon that the Keep America Out of War Congress hadelected me to their continuations committee. I neverbelonged to the congress, did not attend any of itsmeetings, and knew very little about^ it. FurthermoreI belong to the YCAW which is not boiling over withenthusiasm for the Congress.Although the person who nominated me to thisoffice was probably honestly mistaken, I think it wouldbe a splendid idea for organizations to at least askfor the nominee’s consent before publicly announcinghis affiliation with their group. Otherwise any onecan nominate anybody else for anything. Members ofthe Communist club might even find themselves onsteering committees for young Republican organiza¬tions.Jim BurtleTHE DAILY MAROON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1939 Page ThreeInsideStoryRICHARD C. MASSELLPEARL C. RUBINSNot even a communist would saythat that party is in a strong: positionright now. Accused by the conserva¬tives of failing in Russia, by the lib¬erals of double-crossing the allies,and by the Trotskyites of betrayingthe working class, they have at timeshad difficulty in justifying their posi¬tion.Now when things look darkestcomes a much-respected non-commu¬nist to present significant facts whichjustify, better than the communiststhemselves have been able to do, thethings that Russia has done in the pastyear. For Professor Samuel Harperwho is considered America’s outstand¬ing authority on Soviet Russia has re¬turned from that country and, in threetalks given this fall before the grad¬uate history club, the graduate polit¬ical science club and the peace coun¬cil, has reported to the University hisobservations on his latest trip to TheSoviet Union. First as a student ofRussian history and culture, later be¬coming interested in the political, aft¬er that country became the scene ofthe new economic experiment. Harperhas made eighteen trips to Russia inthe past three years.Before his last trip what Harpersaid about the internal conditions inthe USSR was far from encouraging;he pointed out, for instance, the enor¬mous losses caused by the internalpurges.But what Harper .said this time wasall on the other side. He reported agradual increase in economic efficien¬cy, a crop of young well-trained in¬dustrial leaders beginning to takeover management, and the promise ofsuccess ahead. He found the peoplebetter clothed and better fed, the cit¬ies improved and the theaters, moviesand other cultural programs much ad¬vanced. Today the Russian slogans,according to Harper, call for a grad¬ual change from socialism to com¬munism, the ideal Marxian state..4s an international power Harperfinds the Soviet Union just as welloff. The Russians were not excludedfrom the meeting at Munich becausethey were too weak, as the conserva¬tive pre.ss prefers to think, but be¬cause they were too strong. And itisn’t generally realized that the SovietUnion was the only nation to offer tofight for Czechoslovakia in its hourof need.Did the Soviets betray Poland ?Harper thinks not. It was the Poles,themselves who refused Russian mil¬itary aid and the British hacked them.He sees the treaties with the Balticstates not as acts of aggression, asthe con.servatives do, but as part ofa defen.se program against the West.The Soviet Government, he feels, isconvinced that revolutions can not boexported, but has never given up theidea of an international, communiststate.As to the present European war.Harper sees Russia in a strategic bal¬ance of power position—the nation,and consequently the governmentmore secure than ever before. Whilethe war lasts, Russia is safe whenpeace comes, the Soviet leaders feel,the workers of the world will look tothe Soviet Union for leadership. Asa conclusion to these observations.Harper believes that time has shownthe wisdom of the Stalinite build-com-munism-in-Russia policy over theTrotskyite world-revolution program.Plan ReorganizationFw YCAW Next WeekThe Youth Committee Against Warplans reorganization at its full-mem¬bership meeting next Wednesday, inorder to utilize the services of asmany new members as possible.Permanent weekly seminars- will beheld to investigate the causes and con¬sequences of war and peace and tocarry out a program of action andpropaganda.

Theestablishment of national studios anda system of royal patronage left littleroom for individual initiative inFrench industry except within theframework of the royal edicts.English Kings Less SuccessfulIf the English monarchs of thisperiod were less successful in utiliz¬ing the resources of their country fortheir own benefit, it was not for wantof trying. The attempts of the Eng¬lish court to enforce the royal patron¬age so lucrative to the kings acrossthe strait brewed trouble whicheventually resulted in the Civil War.But French monarchy had taken overthe field of industrial developmentbefore it was invaded by private cap¬italists, and the English kings at¬tempted to follow their lead too late.The result was that the Englishcrown’s hold over any kind of in¬dustry was almost always precarious.This lack of English royal inter¬vention in industry was reflected inthe development of the period. It wasa more fertile one for the develop¬ment of heavy industries, mass-pro¬duction, and labor-saving devices thanin France, but despite one of thegreatest literary epochs in history,correspondingly less fertile for theluxury trades and decorative arts.FOR YOUR CONVENIENCEWE DELIVER • ,MODESSPkg. 12's—20c Pkg 30's—45c Pkg. 68's—98cUSE THE FREE CAMPUS PHONE # 352READER'S The Campus Drug StoreBlst & Ellis Ave. Phi Beta DeltaPhi Beta Delta was founded in1898 “for the purpose of forming last¬ing friendships among girls of similarinterests, friendships formed for whatmay be found within them and not forthe material benefits that may bederived”.Dues are $7.50 perquarter with a pledgefee of 5 dollars and aninitiation fee of 20 dol¬lars.
