Winning theswimming meet last year was one ofthe main reasons why the DU’s endedup in fifth place in total I-M points.In scholarship the brothers rankedsixth.There are only two fraternitieswhich are less expensive than DeltaUpsilon. The brothers living in thehouse pay monthly bills of approxi¬mately $55, while the non-resident ac¬tives pay $20 a month fo.- dues andsix meals a week. The intis tion fee i?$50.* * *The fraternity was founded as anon-.secret society at Williams in 1834.The Chicago chapter, which is one of64 spread all over the country, wasestablished in 1901. To just what de¬gree DU may be considered secret ornon-secret is pretty hard to determine.President of the house, Bob Davis ex¬plains that “Delta Upsilon is a non¬secret society. This does not meanthat the affairs of the fraternity areopen to anyone. The distinction is thatthey may be private, but not secret.”The distinction is obvious.Harold Wright, Bob Davis, andDick Trowbridge are the most activeseniors in the house. Wright, with thetitle of publisher, is the biggest manon the Cap and Gown. He is also amember of the Political Union. Davis,member of the Transfer OrientationCommittee and the Political Union, isthe Feature Editor of Pulse. Trow¬bridge is on the Student Social Com¬mittee.Brightest light in the junior dt'lega-tion is George Kinder, familiarlyknown as “Rindu the Mystic”. Kindernot only is a first class student, butalso finds time to participate active¬ly in fraternity and campus affairs.-\s assistant business manager of theCap and Gown, a junior intramuralmanager, and a member of the Politi¬cal Union, he is one prospective BMOCwho is a cinch to reach the top. Nextbusiest junior is brother EllsworthParis. Faris is a Blackfriars juniormanager in charge of production anda junior on the I-F committee.* * «DU representatives in Skull andCre.scent are Robin Buerki and BobSmalley. Both danced in the Black¬friars chorus, but Buerki worked withthe Student Social Committee and onfreshman and transfer orientation.Other sophomores who danced in“Love Over the Line” are James Ems-wiler, who works on the Cap andGown business staff, and George Nar-di.Athletes in the sophomore class areJimmy McClure and Dick Reed. Al¬though Reed failed to get his numer¬als in track. Chapel Unionite McClurewas more successful in tennis. JacobSwanson works on Blackfriars andthe Political Union. Wilfred Courrierand George Arthur are pledges.This year the brothers are inaugu¬rating a new annual social function.Every spring all ten DU chapters inthe Western Conference will get to¬gether for a big dance.In conclusion let us make public theclaim of ace cartoonist brother JohnPatrick. Patrick maintains that thereare more consumptives in the DUhouse than in any other house on cam¬pus. If any freshmen believe this,they needn’t bother about going toDU rushing functions.Nobel Prize to FormerUniversity StudentProfessor Ernest Orlando Lawrence,former student at the University ofChicago, was awarded the Nobel prizefor physics by the Royal Academy ofSciences of Sweden. Professor Law¬rence, noted for his research on thestructure of the atom, was given theprize for his invention and develop¬ment of the cyclotron, an atom-smash¬ing machine now being utilized in can¬cer reasearch. By RICHARD PHILBRICKLatest addition to the British dele¬gation at the University is RichardPear, a Comonwealth scholar from theLondon School of Economics, whofirst set foot on these shores a fort¬night ago. Of medium height, withcurly, close-cropped, brown hair andregular features, one does not needto hear him speak to discover hisnationality.Darwin Research FellowshipIn the interval between his gradua¬tion from college in 1937 and his ar¬rival in the United States, Pearworked with the Population Investi¬gation Committee of England on aDarwin Research Fellowship investi¬gating the legal and quasi-legal bar¬riers to marriage found in English in¬dustry. It was interesting work, hesays, though his particular field is po¬litical science.Studying in this field at London,Pear became acquainted with Profes¬sor Harold J. Laski, one of England’sleading Socialists and one of thecountry’s three professors of politicalscience. Pear speaks of him as a rareteacher; one who carries on a largenumber of outside activities and atthe same time takes a sincere, personalinterest in his students. His lecturesare always crowded, not only withthose who agree with his political ide¬ologies but with others opposed tothem. Laski’s fame has, however,brought the London School of Eco¬nomics into an association with so¬cialism which, in Pear’s opinion, isnot entirely well-founded. He esti¬mates that not more than twenty percent of the students there are insympathy with Laski’s ideas. “Thegeneral outlook on social questions(Continued on page eight) I Million’By SIDNEY LIPSHIRESSince ‘*The 400 Million'* will be pre¬sented today by tKb American Stu¬dent Union, the Maroon is presentinga review of the film by the chairmanof the organization, who has seen itpreviously. Showings will be at 4:30and at 8, in Kent theatre. Admissionis 25 cents for each performance.“The 400 Million” is one of the bestdocumentary films in current historythat has appeared in Chicago. It isone of the best, that is, provided thatone sympathizes with the presentstruggle of the Chinese people, forthis picture was frankly filmed toshow their heroic fight against theJapanese aggressors.Peace to WarUsing one of the special techniquesof the cinema sequence, Joris Ivensand John Ferno bring home to theaudience exactly what is happeningin China. Opening shots show anancient, slow-moving, peace-lovingChina. Then, with tremendous rapid-ty, this peace-loving country is rippedapart by the bombs and war machinesof Japan.China rallies to the situation: peas¬ants unite, provincialism disappears,and a new China can be seen emerg¬ing from the old. Chinese war strate¬gy is well developed in the film, andpartisan action is very vividly por¬trayed. It is interesting to note theassistance and leadership given theChinese people by students in thiswar.Eisler’s MusicTechnically, “The 400 Million” is(Continued on page seven)Merriaiii Helps Prepare ReportOn Consiiiner Expenditures“Knowledge of the consumptionhabits and consumption needs of theAmerican people is basic to any at¬tempt to formulate effective pro¬grams and policies for the use of ourproductive resources,” claims the re¬port on “Consumer Expenditures inthe United States” published last'week by the National Resources Plan- |ning Board. And Charles E. Merriam, |professor of Political Science andmember of the three man Board, be¬lieves it is the first significant reportof its kind. Previous surveys of con¬sumer expenditures had been carriedon, but on very limited data. Thisreport is based on information ob¬tained from about 300,000 families,with detailed statements of expendi¬tures from 60,000 families.Preparation of ReportPreparation of the report was inthe hands of Dr. Hildegarde Kneeland,and the figures which she derived tendessentially to uphold the “one-thirdof the nation” wails. In fact this dif¬ferential grouping of consumer ex¬penditures proved to offer the mostfruitful study in the entire report.The lower one-third, those with in¬comes under $780, accounted for only14 per cent of the total consumptionoutlay. In terms of average expendi¬ture, this amounted to $550 per con-Law ReprimandsWhiskey-Fed MinorsSomewhere on the statute books ofthis city, state, and nation there is alittle item about boys and girls andhow they shouldn’t drink. Nowhere,though, does it say that intelligentuniversity children are any differentfrom unintelligent working children.Recently the IF Committee and theDrake Hotel got wise to this little lawand decided to do something about itso the IF ball will not be sinful in theeyes of the law.What did they do? They got eachfraternity house president to sign apledge, saying that the men in hishouse under twenty-one would not fre- |quent the bar on the fatal night.

But God will. sumer unit for the year, and, for thegroup as a whole, consumption ex¬penditures exceed income by 17 percent. For while the average incomeof the group was $741, the averageoutlay amounted to $563, leaving anaverage deficit of $92.Middle ThirdIn contrast, the middle third ac¬counted for 28 per cent of total con¬sumer expenditures, or twice as muchas the lower group. In addition, alarge proportion of the families andindividuals in this American “middleclass” also showed deficits for theyear, but the average consumptionexpenditure of $1,056 came just with¬in the average income of $1,076. This$20 leeway, however, was not quitesufficient to cover the average addi¬tional amount of $39 paid out forgifts and for certain personal taxes,so that for this group also savingswere “negative” rather than positive.(Continued on page eight)Hold Quarter’s LastSocial ^C’ Dance inIda Noyes TonightThe Social “C” Book is closed to¬night and the page marker, ’39, willbe discarded as the last dance spon¬sored by the social committee takesplace at Ida Noyes.Music will be furnished by LynLary’s orchestra.

They will meet to tryto set up the new plan in such a way 'that it would revive the Union, anddraw new members to it.Topic of DiscussionSelected by the committee as thetopic for di.scussion at the next meet¬ing of the Union was, “Resolved,that this Union condemns the estab- jlishment of the Civil Aeronautical jAuthority on this campus.” The meet¬ing will follow; the traditional pattern 'of PU meetings, with five minute |speeches by students, and three min- jute speeches from the floor. i Famous Scientists to Aidin Extensive ResearchProject.Appointment of Dr. Anna Hamann,internationally-known X-ray special¬ist, and Dr. Samuel King Allison,physical-chemist, to the 'Universityof Chicago’s Committee on Cancer,was announced yesterday by Presi¬dent Robert M. Hutchins.The committee was created a yearago to correlate the extensive re¬search program and the clinical treat¬ment of cancer carried on by theUniversity of Chicago. Operatingvirtually as a cancer institute, it isin line with the plan inaugurated atthe University of focusing efforts ofexperts in all related fields on asingle, important problem.The committee serves as a clear¬ing house for all the University in¬vestigators in nine departments andadvises the administration as to needsand policies of the general program.Dr. Alexander Brunschwig is chair¬man.Dr. Hamann, w'ho received her M.D. degree from the University ofMunich in 1924, became assistantradiologist at the Hospital of St.George in Hamburg in 1929 after fiveyears of private practice in Bavaria.She joined the University of Chicagodepartment of medicine in 1938. Shehas written extensively on radiumand radium therapy.Dr. Allison received his Doctoratein Chemistry in 1923 from the Uni¬versity of Chicago, spent three yearsas a research fellow’ at Harvard andthe Carnegie Institution, and joinedthe University of Chicago faculty asassociate professor of Physics in 1930after teaching four years at the Uni¬versity of California.He has developed an “atom smash¬er” at the University—apparatus cap¬able of developing energies up to 1,-000,000 volts—w’ith diverse uses.Among these uses, and particularlyimportant to cancer investigators, isthe laboratory preparation of radio¬active substances which have chemicalproperties identical wdth those of thelighter elements, such as carbon andnitrogen. The apparatus in this re¬spect can substitute for radium.Appreciative HoboesAsk Campus to BeGuests at Institute“Deacon” Morris, “Step and a Half”Sheridan, and the “Cosmic Kid,” threehoboes, enjoyed themselves so muchat the Student Forum debate Wednes¬day that in order to signify theirappreciation, they got in a huddle anddecided to invite Forum members andall University students to be theirguests this Sunday at 4:30 at theInstitute for Social Science, formerlyHobo College at 740 North ClarkStreet.The institute is famous up and downClark street for bull sessions, bullhead sessions and debates. Every ho¬bo who wishes to obtain the properslant on current affairs goes there.Two Forum members will uphold theaffirmative side of the topic, “Roose¬velt in 1940.” Several Forum studentswho visited the Institute were sur¬prised at the forensic ability thatsome of the migratory workers dis¬played.Smith DiscussesSenior Elections“It is not my business to approveor disapprove organization of thetype of Senior government which thecommittee I appointed set up.

Besides, the Maroon be¬lieves enough other schools already have theJoe College idea; What this University needsis to develop some kind of new-fashionedspirit more nearly appropriate to what itshould be.It seems useless at this late date to expect up¬perclassmen to generate such a spirit. Theyhave been here too long. Their evil habits aretoo strong for them to break. By the timethey have survived a year here they knowthis place for what it is; not for what itshould be, or can be if they take the effort tomake it so. Those who don’t care very muchabout studying know that undergraduate workis not so hard as it’s cracked up to be—ifthey go about it in the right way they can getby without worrying too much about the con¬tents of their books. The ones who want tospend most of their time studying usually haveno strong desire for an extra-curricular “so¬cial” life. They all know, anyway, that peopleat this University are too much diversified,too busy with other things, to bother aboutfinding many interests and sentiments to sharewith their fellow students. They are con¬vinced that, for the most part, student rela¬tionships are, and must continue to be, cold.But freshmen haven’t been here long enoughto become thoroughly corrupted by the superi¬or knowledge of their seniors. For them thereis still some hope. Even after two monthssome of them may yet believe that the Univer¬sity is a great intellectual institution, and thatenough of their classmates share this beliefto .justify calling it a common sentiment. Insuch a state of unsophistication, a few of themmight even be interested enough in their class-work to discuss it unashamedly, and withoutulterior motives, outside of class.A little child shall lead them. Perhaps fromthe comparatively unspoiled innocence of ourfreshmen a kind of social life appropriate tothis University will someday arise, and thestudents here may yet be saved. Of course,sceptics may point to the Freshman Counciland say: “You still think these people are soinnocent and unspoiled?” To this we answerthat not enough freshmen participated in theCouncil election to justify reproaching thewhole class. And even so, the Council is some¬thing which exists, and may yet possibly ac¬complish some good work if encouraged to doso. If the Freshman Council ever wants toprove that it is more than a political prestigegroup, let it begin considering the problemof how a proper spirit may be built up in areal University.A TraditionYesterday, services were held in Rockefel¬ler Memorial Chapel for a man whotaught our fathers. James Weber Linn hadbeen a member of the University since itssecond year; for over forty years he had beenon the faculty. Though he had known for overa year that he must either decrease his ac¬tivity or shorten his life, he chose rather toincrease his activity. This summer he died.Linn belonged to the University in the dayswhen it was becoming great. We hope thatby the time the next generation comes to schoolhere, the University will have maintained itsintellectual progress as steadily as it has dur¬ing the half-century Linn was here. Traveling BazaarSince this is the big week for club girls we’re goingto devote most of our column to them. Last Sundayintensive rushing started when silence week began. Thewhole week has been marked by elaborate parties de¬signed to lure Freshmen girls into various clubs. Pref¬erential dinners are set for Saturday night and pledgingis Sunday. The past few days have been filled withintrigue and the next few can bring nothing but more.Unofficially every major club has been guilty of dirtyrushing. Every move, every chat has been shrouded inan air of mystery. A belated warning to rushees: Eventhough club girls couldn’t do any rushing this week,their part was well taken by their legacies and thosesewed. Freshman women should act accordingly.RumorsThe cream of the freshman women are calling ameeting so as to band together and go one way. An¬other, that one large club will hold its preferential din¬ner at the Pump Room, although its official location isthe Shoreland.

To our way ofthinking, they’re the cream of the rushees.Both Maroon and Pulse have previously conductedtheir own survey of the girls’ clubs. To some,, our at¬tempt may seem to be just another analysis, but therei.s one important difference: While Maroon and Pulsehave tried always to be as impartial and impersonal aspossible, this is our own opinion, as personal, preju¬diced, and biased as we can make it.Of course, it all depends upon which fraternityyou’re trying to make.

However when rushing ap¬proaches the point where it is pain-It.ss, it is due not to any slap-dashsort of organization. Oh, no! It is duerather to a well organized subtle tech¬nique called “Let’s get him, fellows.”\ow “Let’s get him, fellows” ofcourse means that the man in ques¬tion is very desirable, in an imperson¬al sort of a way. It also means thatseveral fraternities are rushing him.When a rushee of this species ap¬proaches, the good fraternity man willsmile broadly and show his teeth, (par¬ticularly if he has gold fillings, whichalways impress freshman), and claspthe man firmly by the hand and say,“How’s it going, boy?”Right away you have established acommon ground with your rushee, andhe smiles back and now it’s your turnto search diligently for gold teeth. Ifhe has none, strike him boldly fromthe lists. If you spot a dash of goldamong the ivory you can now proceedto step number two.Step two is taking the fre.shman in¬to confidence. The easiest way is towatch someone pass, and get a know¬ing expression on your face. Thefreshman immediately asks, “Who’sthat?” You pause a minute. Raiseyour eyebrows, then slowly say, “Idon’t know whether or not I shouldtell you but—oh, hell, 1 might as well.RzzzBzzzBzzz.”When the freshman stops laughingyou are ready for approach numberthree which is, “Do you know, hedid the most remarkable thing. By theway you know he’s a fraternitybrother of mine”. This line is alwaysgood, then the freshman doesn’t feellike he’s being pushed.Step number four is really unneces¬sary because the freshman wanted tojoin all the time; he was just beingcoy.Sun ValleyInstalls NetvSkiers’ LiftsWhen Henrietta Mahon and GordonMurray, “Mo.st Representative Uni¬versity Man and W’oman,” arrive atSun Valley Idaho for their Christmasvacation, they will find that the newski lifts make all their skiing down-bill fun, and will allow skiing fromNovember 15 to April 15.Latest of the lifts to be complete<lis that which goes to the top of BaldMountain, up the slopes for a distanceof over two miles.

WorcesterMembers of the University of Chi¬cago’s football squad, harried on foursuccessive Saturdays by four of thecountry’s top flight football organi¬zations, Harvard, Michigan, Virginia,and Ohio State, see in their tilt withOberlin college tomorrow afternoonon Stagg Field a final chance to pullone section of the 1939 ledger out ofthe red.Although the scoring-by-opponentscolumn is hopelessly worse than lastyear, with 262 points already scored jagainst Chicago’s 12, the number ofvictories in the season may be in¬creased from one to two, which wouldconstitute a net gain of one-half avictory over last year’s record of onegame won, one tied, and six lost.Tries for ScoreWhen Chicago enters the Oberlinin more than 40 days. It will nothave scored a point against Oberlinin more than 40 years. Because theOberlin group is no heavier, no faster,no more experienced, and no morenumerous than the Midway squad,records may fall.But Oberlin has not battled a mem¬ber of the Big Ten conference since1922, and according to Coach Clark jShaughnessy, of Chicago, the twoteams are evenly matched. Chicago’sseason began this year with a 6 to 0loss to Beloit, followed by a 12 to 2victory over Wabash. The next fourdefeats were by Harvard, 61 to 0;Michigan, 85 to 0; Virginia, 47 to 0;and Ohio State 61 to 0. Oberlin, witha lighter schedule, has registeredthree victories, two defeats and a tie.The Yeomen shut out Rochester, 21to 0; Allegheny, 27 to 0; and Hamil¬ton, 6 to 0, before tying Swarthmore,12 to 12, and then losing to Wooster,19 to 14, and Dennison, 13 to 7.Stehney StartsMaintaining his record of insertinga newcomer per week in the Maroonstarting lineup. Coach Shaughnessyplans to start sophomore Andrew iStehney at quarter against Oberlin.Other lineup changes may see BairdLettersDear Editor,With the absence of any large scaledrive for funds on campus this year,I believe that we have an excellentopportunity to build up our footballteam by organizing a campus widedrive to raise $5,000 for the relief ofour football team.If you could stir up as much inter- jest this year as you did in the Refu- jgee drive last year, to enable poor butdeserving athletes to continue theireducation at Chicago, we could easilybuild a Champion squad next year.The added attendance at games nextyear would build up a surplus in theAthletic Department’s budget, andthis could be used in future years tomaintain the scholarships, or even payoff the original donations.Fraternities should go for this in abig way, as each one could donateroom and board to one football player,and use him during rushing season toimpress enough freshmen to make thewhole deal profitable for the house.Thus, you would be happy at hav¬ing started the whole thing, the fra¬ternities would be happy. Shaughnes¬sy would be happy, and the alumniwould be happy, at being spared the$60,000 Pulse demands that theyraise. The only dissenters would beMichigan and of cour.se Pulse—butthen one can never satisfy them any¬way. IB. B.

Butler, of Oberlin,has Leen hampered this season by in¬juries to his best backfield men, buthe believes Phil Worcester, his hardhitting fullback, will be in shape toplay at least part of the game. KenBriggs, first-string junior halfback,who was also out of the Dennisongame, is also sure to be in the Chi¬cago contest.Captain StarsThe brunt of the Oberlin offense, ihowever, will probably be carried byCaptain Bob Kretchmar, the lightestplayer in the light Oberlin ball carry- Iing division, but also the fastest. IKretchmar weighs 150 pounds. Wor- jcester weighs 165, and Briggs is 157 jpounds. Bob Wiley who will prob- Iably start at left half, weights 172pounds. Five schools will be represented inthe Conference cross-country trackmeet to be held in Washington Park,Monday afternoon at 3:30. Purdue,Ohio State, Minnesota, Wisconsin, andIndiana will definitely participatewhile Chicago, which was to have beenthe sixth school taking part, willprobably not be represented.Members of the Maroon cross-coun¬try team have been unable to regular¬ly practice and unless a sudden changeis made. Coach Merriam will not enterhis squad into the meet.The man to watch in the meet willbe Mehl, of Wisconsin. Already hold¬er of the N.C.A. two-mile champion¬ship, he will probably take first placein this race, and may add anotherrecord to his laurels.The meet consists of one four-milerace. Each team will have sevenstarters with the first five men count¬ing in the final score. Thus, by hav¬ing a better all-round team, Indianamay nose out Wisconsin and take firstplace.Game RecallsFond MemoriesAlthough it will be 40 years andfour weeks to the day since the Uni¬versity of Chicago and Oberlin Col¬lege last met on the field of football,the game between the two institutionson Stagg Field tomorrow will besomething in the nature of an “OldHome Week.’’President Ernest H.

Al¬though the Council had passed a mo¬tion granting the literary publication$200, John Morrison and his fellowhenchmen succeeded in bringing theissue to the student body for a vote.A committee consisting of BarbaraDeutsch, Alice Butler. John. Morrisonand Richard Schindler was appointedby president Kemp to agree uponprocedure before the class and to forma fair ballot. The committee had, how¬ever, no opportunity to meet in time toget the material mimeographed be¬fore Monday’s class meetings andtherefore confined itself to approvinga statement to be put on the black¬board to which the students were towrite their answers on the ballot.Before the session adjourned, it wasdecided that the Council would meetin a special meeting on Wednesday,the 15th. GargoyleReturns $150To Council College Clubs MeetTo Plan For YearThe much-discussed Gargoyle-Pulsemerger will not take place. This de¬cision was reached yesterday when theDaily Maroon printed an announce¬ment of a literary supplement to beedited by Marian Castleman.Pulse editors decided that suchcompetition was not advisable. Thusthe much-argued-about $150 will bereturned to the Student Council.The Daily Maroon was immediate¬ly willing to accept Four-Year Collegecontributions and to let the studentsof 5810 do editorial work if they sodesired. Frazier Rippy, co-editor ofthe former Gargoyle, will be in chargeof Four-Year College contributions.The deadline for the first issue is De¬cember 5th. They may be given toFrazier Rippy personally or be leftin his care at the Weekly office.The Maroon failed in its attempt tocreate a literary section last year.The present attempt is only experi¬mental, but since material from any¬one connected in any way with theUniversity will be accepted, successshould be assured.

Clubs have been organized for thestudents of the first and second yearsof the Four Year College. Firstmeetings of these clubs were held onThursday afternoon at 2:30 in roomsin Blaine, Ida Noyes and 5810.At class meetings held on Monday,November 13, clubs were voted onby members of each class. In eachcase where a sufficient number ofstudents was interested the club wasestablished.In determining which clubs werewanted by'the students each club thatreceived a vote for first choice 3points were credited to the club, foreach second choice, 2 points, and foreach third choice, 1 point. The totalnumber of these points were com¬pared in determining which clubsshould exist.Clubs, faculty advisers, and thepoints they received are as follows:Debating, 95; Bowling, 70, Miss Weis-ner; Current Affairs, 65, Mr. Keo-hane; Biology, 64, Mr. Mayfield;Photography, 65, Mr. Holley; Music,58; Art, 42; and Sportsman, 36.Playfesters, that has been organizedwill continue their meetings. Formerly, when we were all in onebuilding the matter of making an-nouncementg was comparatively sim¬ple. These could be read in all firsthour classes including the study halland thus reached practically everyonein the student body. Now, with classeswidely scattered and a considerablenumber of people going to librariesother than the regular study hall, theformer plan cannot be effective.For the present, announcements willbe handled as follows:1. They will be read in all Reading,Writing and Criticism A and B class¬es.2. Copies will be sent to all teach¬ers who have college classes, but notto be read to the classes but to beposted upon the classroom bulletinboards.3. Those students who attend Read¬ing, Writing and Criticism only onMondays or who do not have Reading,Writing and Criticism at all should beparticularly careful to check the bul¬letin boards every day.4. Copies of'announcements will beplaced on the main bulletin boards inthe hall at 6810 Woodlawn, in the Bel-field Library, and occasionally on thebulletin boards at the west end ofBellield and Ida Noyes Gymnasium.5. The substance of events of time¬ly interest will be printed in the Four-Year College Weekly. All studentsand faculty members should read theWeekly to keep in touch with schoolevents.GargoyleGets $150In 7-1 VoteAbsence RoutineA student absent from class be¬cause of illness must not report tothat or any other class or schoolactivity without first securing adoctor’s admission slip from theschool physician’s office in SunnyGym. A student failing to fulfillthis obligation is violating a healthregulation.No absence is taken off the at¬tendance book in the College of¬fice until an admission slip has beenissued covering the absence. If astudent returns to school after anabsence due to illness without anote from home he should checkwith the doctor’s office, and securea pink admission slip from the Col¬lege office when he brings a notefrom home his pink slip will becancelled.A student absent for any otherreason than illness should if pos¬sible bring his note and secure inadvance his excuse slip. Otherwisehe should bring his note directly tothe College office on his return andsecure his admission slip before hereports to his class.If the student fails to present anote from home a pink admissionslip will be issued by the Office tobe cancelled if a note is broughtfrom home as soon as possible.In no case will teachers admit astudent to class following absenceunless the student presents an of¬ficial admission slip. The Student Council, at a specialsession last Wednesday, granted theGargoyle $160. Ballots taken at thej class meetings on Monday indicatedthat of 205 votes 78 were in favor ofthe merger of the publication withPulse. This minority was deemedlarge enough to receive its share ofthe activities fee. John Morrison, chiefopponent to the original propositionfor $200 was not present at the meet¬ing, but the vote was carried 7 to 1.A committee was appointed by pres¬ident Kemp to act as a go-between be¬tween the Library and the Council.This was suggested by librarian MissHenne, who hopes to get student sug¬gestions as to library order and re¬serve book discipline. i Art ClubDiscussion centered on the questionof joining the University Art Club.However, no definite decision wasreached. The purpose of the club isto obtain a fuller background of theprinciples of art. The faculty adviseris Mr. Aiesberg. The newly elected of¬ficers are: Betty Gillet, president;and Anne Hutchinson, secretary.BiologyHikes will be taken at frequent in¬tervals instead of holding regularmeetings of this club. Plans are be¬ing made for the first hike which willbe taken one week from Sunday to aswamp located in the sand dunes.Current AffairsWar, its present effects in Europeand the position of the United Statesin the situation were discussed by themembers of this club. It was decidedthat alternate programs with outsidespeakers and discussions would beheld.DebatingThe club was divided on the questionof having a debating CLUB or a de¬bating TEAM. It was finally decidedto organize a club or forum from whicha team will be drawn when a group isprepared. A committee of three, con¬sisting of S. Barry, G. Weiner and B.Smith will draw up plans for a Con¬stitution.MusicOfficers were selected at the firstmeeting of the year. They are: MaryStrauss, president; Katherine Wright,secretary; and Nancy Emmerich, pro¬gram chairman. At the next meetingthe members will make a tour ofRockefeller Memorial Chapel. Thistour, which will be arranged for byMr. Mack Evans, will include a visitto the carillon tower.PlayfestersPlans for the coming year were dis¬cussed, together with the advisabilityof maintaining the monthly meetings.A motion was carried which continuesthese meetings. The list of committeechairmen and members was an¬nounced. These chairmen include thefollowing: James Reynolds, publicity;Eleanor Karlstrom, property; BettyAnder.son, Rea Raisig, costumes; andJames Aldrich, lighting.2n(l Year PassesGargoyle Proposal1st Yr. StudentsMeet: Vote DownGargoyle, 76-24At the first meeting of the FirstYear students last Monday, cards werepassed among the members of theclass, who were requested by Mr. Keo-hane to write down their program sothat he could locate them.Robert Platt was elected represen¬tative to the Boys’ Club. Then Rosa¬lind Wright and John Morrison (Sec¬ond Year students) each spoke for afew minutes. Rosalind recommendedto the class that the Gargoyle shouldbe given the necessary $200 to con¬tinue publication. John Morrison ar¬gued against it. The ballot gave a 76-24 vote against giving the Gargoyle$200.The class was asked then to listfirst, second and third choices forspecial interest clubs. Any club get¬ting 10 or more first places was to beformed.The meeting adjourned in plenty oftime for lunch. The first meeting of the second yearclass of the Four-Year College washeld last Monday. Mr. Davey suggest¬ed that students check with the Of¬fice to find out about their standingsin credits.The Gargoyle problem was broughtup and Rosalind Wright spoke forthat publication’s merger with Pulse,while John Morrison opposed the is¬sue. Discussion was not permitted.Pupils were asked to give their firstsecond and third choices for specialinterest clubs.Howie Brown announced that theBoys’ Club dance would take place onDec. 2 and the Senior-Alumni Danceon Dec. 23. It was also made clearthat assemblies would not be discon¬tinued, but confined mainly to thefirst and second years.On the ballots the students also ex¬pressed their desire as to a class ban¬quet.At this time the impatient studentbody broke out into discussion aboutthe Gargoyle, but most of the ballotshad been handed in. The vote was 52-48, for the Gargoyle.The meeting adjourned informallyat 11:45.All Four-Year College girls areto select the Girls’ Club committeeof their choice next Monday andTuesday. A desk will be placed inthe language corridor of Belfieldhall before school, during lunch andafter school on these two days. Thefour committees are the ServiceCommittee, House Committee, So¬cial Committee, and SettlementCommittee.Page Six THE DAILY MAROON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1939Four-YearCollege WeeklyOfficial publication of the Four-YearCollege, The University of Chicago.EDITORIAL STAFFCopy Editor Richard SchindlerAssistant Rosalind WrightNews Editor Sylvia BernsenSports Editor Lynch GronertFeature Editor Joan WehlenMake-up Luise MarksProofreader Rosalind WrightTypists Rosa) nd Wright Pct*y Carleton,Richard ithiiidler, Frazier Rippy.Photographer Bob AndersonBUSINESS STAFFBusiness Manager Oliver HallettCirculation Oliver Hallett, Helen Lough,Bob Anderson, Lynch Gronert.

MickelNight Editor: Rosalind WrightComprehensivesThe problem of comprehen¬sives again presents itself. Itmust be decided whether theseexaminations should be held atthe end of each quarter, at theend of each semester or, as inpreceding years, at the end ofeach school year.It should be clear that com¬prehensive grades during theyear would not count towardsthe advisory grades. The totalscore made on all such testsw^ould constitute the final markin the course just as the annualcomprehensive does.The real decision, it seems,will have to be reached betweenthe quarterly and the annualproposal. The bi-yearly ideamoves into the background andbecause the University is on suquarter system would not fitwell into the whole program.The fear concerning the quar¬terly examination is that thistest would be more detailed thanthe yearly test. On the otherhand facts will be better inmind if only a quarter’s workhas to be remembered ratherthan a whole year’s. Perhapsthe tri-yearly comprehensivewill force better study habits onstudents since they have to pre¬pare for tests not only once, butthree times. Thus the argu¬ments vary pro and con.The final decision rests withthe Senate of the University.However this organization willconsider the recommendationsof individual teachers. Ina class of twenty recentlythe pupils were allowedto express their opinions andeleven voted for the annual test,one for the semester exam andseven for the quarterly com¬prehensive. (One vote was with¬held.) This of course is not rep¬resentative of a student body of250 pupils. But it suggests thatsuch procedure be followed inall classes. Since the studentsare the ones who have to takethe tests, perhaps their opinionand desire should be taken intoconsideration to a certain ex¬tent.

Afterhe had dismissed a fellow suffererwith nary a word, merely a laconicjerk of a stubby thumb, I was called.The torturer seized my card, andpeered nearsightedly at my chickentracks. Finally after much delibera¬tion he motioned to the cramped quar¬ters occupied by my predecessor andjammed the table against me to pinme between it and the wall and thusthwart my escape. Next he stuck jsome numbered cards in a slot in 1the table and prepared to shoot theworks.

DiscussesSocial FunctionsThe G.A.A. board met for the sec¬ond time last Monday, again to dis¬cuss the social calendar. It was decid¬ed that meetings would be held reg¬ularly on Wednesdays at 8 o’clock.Discussion included the “Dime Din¬ner”. Was it to be continued? Somemembers of the board preferred tohave it held jointly with the HighSchol girls instead, as is usual, withthe Girls’ Club. The events will prob¬ably be held in the spring quarter.The board also touched upon thedance that was planned. Most peoplewant to have a barn-dance, but oth¬ers still object and wish the dance tobe held jointly with one of the otherstandard social events. The object ofthis dance is to get people who arenot so interested in sports to comeout with a little spirit in the thing.Voice ofThe StudentTo the Four-Year College Weekly:Last Saturday was Armistice Day.Each year I look forward to the im¬pressive Armistice Day assembly.What happened this year? Why didn’twe have one?Why don’t we have assemblies?That wonderful assembly we have atthe beginning of each year when wesing college songs and our own schoolsongs and say our school creed.

At his tender age heis occupying the presidency of theBoys’ Club.After much dragging I (I will sayI) discovered that John started to bopresent at Boys’ Club meeting in hisSubfreshmen year. The Freshmen yearfound him presiding over the class.During that year he also made thebig mistake of his life (quoting J.M.) of trying out for the track team.Result: he has been a member of saidteam for the last four years7*"In the 10th grade, John did noth¬ing (again quoting). To advance tothe second year, (which John did) hebecame secretary of the Boys’ Club.Interspersed in all these activitiesis his membership in the SportsmanClub. This coincides with his hobby ofcollecting guns.John wants to go to Purdue. Thoughhe is going to college strictly for thesocial side, he plans to take up Chem¬ical Engineering.(The absence of John’s picture wasdue to the absence of John at the ap¬pointed times and places.)Inquiring ReporterHave you noticed the lipstick dec¬orating the walls of the Girls’ Club?There must be a dearth of knowledgeas regards the application of the a-forementioned cosmetic or it wouldn’tget all over the building. The verydecorative sign parked in front of thewar paint makes the suggestion thatit looks better on the lips. I make thereservation that it must be applied ’correctly to improve the appearanceof even a piece of furniture or a baldhead, much more the usual canvasu.sed for such an art (the femalemap). The rosebud mouth is definite¬ly out and mouths now are colored allthe way to the corners. (Witness HedyLamarr and Joan Crawford.) Alsodeep indentations in the center of thelips are not so popular. (I am tryingto lead up to the lips in Vogue andHarper’s Bazaar and I don’t seem toknow how; maybe you better look ina recent issue and see for yourselves).During this season of snows andbiting winds lipstick really becomesan indispensable in that it providesprotection from the bane of women,chapped lips. (You know that old one:Chapped lips disinterest chaps.) Thefirst requirement is that your lipstickbe smooth and oily. In the summer wego in for dryer rouge but steaminghouses and raw winds take everything out of a lipstick if it isn’t reallygood. There are many other precau¬tions you can take to make it lastlonger and give more protection.

Mooseheart Wins OverSoccer Squad 1 - 0on Hallel CaptainsSwitnininf^ Team;First Meet Dec. 11The sw’imming team elected OliverHallett to the position of captaincy ata recent meeting of the squad. Theteam manager, Hamilton Loeb, ar¬ranged two meets with Hirsch HighSchool. The first of these will be heldat Hirsch on Dec 11. The return meetwill be held at Bartlett on the 18th.The squad has been practicing reg¬ularly at the Bartlett pool and a fewmembers are piling up quite a bit ofyardage in distance swimming. Onceor twice a week endless relays are or¬ganized. These give the men a chanceto ^jhow their sprinting ability andstamina. Two lengths are swum byeach man, and coach McGillivraytimes the various participants.Outstanding contenders for thecrawl stroke races are Oli Hallet,Johnny Schwartz, George Weiner andGeorge Daskal. Hallett turned in a:19.8 on a 40 yd. sprint last week. The220 yd. race is contended for by “Bun¬ny” Jaffe and Herby DeBruyn.Due to Bud Nusbaum’s broken wrist.Lynch Gronert is the only breaststroke swimmer at present. HoweverBbd will be ready for the Hirsch meet.Sid Epstein is still out for soccer,but will also compete in the first en¬counter along with Jim Simmons whois a new-comer to the backstroke de¬partment.Oliver Hallett poses for the camera.Oli is captain of the swimming teamand leading contender for the crawlstroke races.Athletes to DecideOn New LettersA movement is now afoot to deter¬mine what our lettermen would like inthe way of new letters for interscho¬lastic competition.Many propositions have been ad¬vanced. Do the boys want to continuewith the traditional ”U” which re¬cently received a white border or dothey want to change to a block “C”with similar trimming which shouldnot be confused with the fish tail “C”reserved for university men? Perhapsthey would prefer the U. of C. mono¬gram on a suitable background. Itmight be possible to have the nameof the sport ‘in which the letter waswon etched into the body of the letter.Similar distinctions could be used formanagers, a thing much deplored inthe past. Gets 1st Minute Goal;Game Today vs. Man-ley.The soccer squad lost a very dosegame yesterday at Mooseheart, l-O.The opposing team scored almost im¬mediately after the opening whistle,but then was outplayed continually.However the “maroon and black” wereunable to score in spite of severalgood opportunities.Mooseheart is located about 5 milesnorthwest of Evanston, about 45 milesfrom the University campus. Busrides are a lot of fun and the teamwas in good spirits when it arrived forthe battle.Coach Hoffer was rather silent aft¬er the defeat, which did not, however,keep the boys from enjoying the busride home. In a recent game onesquad of eleven stuck through bothhalves without relief, but this timeabout seven reserves took part in thegame.About ten students made the longjourney merely to watch the game.Such school spirit always spurs theteams on to best efforts.This afternoon at 3:30 there will bea game on Greenw’ood field againstManley.FYCkies DefeatH. S. All-StarsThe “FYCkies All-stars” (Four-Year College girls’ hockey team) de¬feated the High School all-star team4-0 last Wednesday. Kathie Wrightscored in the first half and BillieNicholson made three points in thesecond half. Anne Hutchinson assist¬ed in all four tallies by dribbling theball into scoring position.The “FYCkies” were composed ofHutchinson, Rogers, Nicholson, K.Wright, Mowrer, Westfall, Butler,Yntemft, R.

There were nosubstitutes.Imps^ Peps RallyMonday afternoon the first Imp-Pephockey game of the season was vig¬orously contested. The Peps had aneven eleven but the Imps were minustheir wings. At the end of the firsthalf the score was tied, 1-1; BillyNicholson having scored for the Impswhile Pat Claridge tallied on a pen¬alty bully. During the second halfplay was fairly even until the closingmoments when the Peps became in¬spired and Anne Hutchinson drove thewinning score through the goal.The second game of the series wasplayed Thursday morning. The scorebeing 2-1 in favor of the Imps. Theseries is tied with the Peps 2-1 victory.No steps have been taken to putthis matter before the boys, how’evera meeting of major lettermen will becalled in the near future and anymeasure agreed to may be acted upon.Student InvestigatesHarpePs Rare Books(This is the second in a series ofarticles describing the various Uni¬versity libraries.)By BERYL BRANDOn the fourth floor at Harper’s adoor’s illuminated W 41 invites youto the Rare Book Room.

These lat¬ter volumes have all been popularly “christened” and one of the piquantlydubbed— “The Gangster’s Bible”—has an interesting history as it waspicked up in a pillaged Greek churchand was formerly used as the oathbook of a Chicagoland gang.In 1927 the rare books were keptin the office of the head of the Read¬ers Department, and on account ofcramped quarters moved to W. 41 in1928. Among the administrative li¬brarians have been Miss Rickert, MissLittle, Miss Sturtenant, Miss Sandersand at the pre.sent time is Mrs. Drell.The books are open to all personsbut they are not circulated.

There were many congratula¬tory speeches, renowned scholars,business men, and labor leaders whojoined in echoing the theme that theelection of Professor Douglas to theCity Council marked a major victorynot only for the progressivism in the5th Ward but for those in the city asa whole.There was one man at the speaker’stable in the banquet hall who was in¬troduced to the audience, receeived anovation and sat down without makinga speech. Yet he was the ablest rhet¬orician present. This man was DavidDouglasEichner, head of the regular Dem¬ocratic organization for the FifthWard and his genius for rhetoric-per¬suasion—was reflected in the loyaltyto Douglas’ candidacy he inspired inhis precinct captains who marshalleda record breaking vote in winning aDouglas’ victory. This was the firsttime that Eichner—or any Ward Com¬mitteemen—had ever been presentedto the University community, gather¬ed for a political victory celebration,and the ovation payed him, Eichnercherishes as a priceless gift.Since the victory celebration in Jud¬son Court, David Eichner and the Uni¬versity community have come to knoweach other better, and the friendshipformed during the last election hasbeen strengthened through continuedcontacts. A Ward Committeeman eat¬ing in the Quadrangle Club flanked bythe University’s leading professors ofpolitical science, a Ward Committee¬man sitting in the lounge of the In¬national House talking earnestly to agroup of University students is arare and unique sight, but David Eich¬ner has proved himself a rare andunique Ward Committeeman and hispresence at University meeting placesand functions has been genuinelywelcomed.PARKERRESTAURANTFamous For Fine Food6304 Stony Island Midway 8989.llllllltlllllll.lllllllMlIllllllllllll.llIAccurate and RapidLens DuplicationsAND FRAMES REPAIREDYOUR PRESCRIPTION FILLEDNELSON OPTICALCOMPANYDR.

About 90 percent of the students who eat at Kim¬bark are either students in the Chi¬cago Theological Seminary, Univer¬sity Divinity School Students, or res¬idents in the seminary dorms.Kimbark serves 19 meals (onlybreakfast on Sunday) per week at therate of $4.42.

In this fight, which will takethe shape of a contest this comingApril for the position of DemocraticWard Committeeman, Eichner is ex¬pected to receive the sPlid support ofthe University community which here¬tofore had regarded Ward Commit-teemanship elections as a struggle be¬tween feudal barons and of only in¬cidental importance to the election ofalderman, mayors, state legislators,governors, congressmen, senators andpresidents. Merriam—(Continued from page one)Thus for the poorer two-thirds of thenation incomes received during 1935-36 were too low, on the average, tocover current outlays.Opposed to both these groups wasthe upper third with incomes over$1,450. This group accounts for 58per cent of consumer expenditure orfour times as much as was spent bythe lower third. And these consump¬tion expenditures absorbed just three-fourths of their total income for theyear, leaving nearly ten billion dol¬lars for savings and for gifts andpersonal taxes.Percentage DifferenceEspecially interested was the per¬centage difference of expenditure ondifferent commodities. For examplethe three groups differed far less inregard to food expenditure than inregard to expenditures for automo¬biles and recreation. In addition therewas an increase in the lower twogroups of expenditures for non-nec¬essaries which occupied so much ofthe income of the top third.Professor Merriam shades author¬ity on National Resources PlanningBoard with Frederick A.
