No. 32 Z-149 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1939 Price Three CentsAppoint Bloomfield as YaleSterling Professor of LinguisticsPhi KappaPsi* *By JOHN STEVENS |The only fraternity house locatednorth of 56th street is the palatialPhi Psi house. One of the three fra¬ternity houses on campus that was de¬signed for its present purpose, it neverfails to impress rushees. Of the 40Phi Psi’s, six of whom are pledges, 23men live in the house.Best known brother is tow-headedBob Reynolds. He is president of thechapter, chairman of the Student So¬cial Committee, a member of Owl andSerpent, and last but not least, theace man on the “B” tennis team. Oth¬er Phi Psi O and S men are ChuckO’Donnell, Prior of Blackfriars andchairman of the Homecoming Com¬mittee, and Bill Macy. Macy is sec¬retary of the I-F committee and the.senior honor society, a member ofthe senior intramural board, and theFreshman Orientation Committee.Their classmates who failed to makeO and S. but who were probably con¬sidered for the honor are Harry Cor¬nelius, make-up editor of the Maroonand chairman of the Peace Council,and Walter Young bu.siness managerof the Cap and Gown.* * *When the class of ’41 was pledgedPhi Psi stole prize Dave W’iedemannfrom rival fraternities. As one of themost popular men in the entire juniorclass, Wiedemann has been honored bvbeing elected president of Skull andCrescent, and to membership in IronMask. Until he was injured early thisseason, he was considered the main¬stay of the Maroon line. All freshmenconsidering Phi Psi will know himbefore pledging because be is one ofthe two rushing chairmen.Busiest Phi Psi junior is lanky BillHankla. He is a member of the Chap¬el Union Board, the Settlement Board,the Political Union, and the executivecommittee of the Peace Council, butdevotes most of his extra-curricularenergy to the Daily Maroon. Otheroutstanding juniors are cheerleaderJoe Molkup of the Student Forum,“C” men Ed Davidson, Morry Abra-hamson, and Walter Maurovich, andluscious Blackfriars queen FrankMeyers.* * *Three sophomores. Bob Kibele, DonDeever, and Bob Cummins arepledges. The first two are the Phi PsiSkull and Cre.scent men, and are bothworking on the Student PublicityBoard. Kibele and Cummins are foot¬ball candidates. Bob Crow, who hasworked on the Student PublicityBoard and Blackfriars, is a columnistfor the Maroon.Numeral winners in the class aretrackman “Corky” Wickham, wres¬tlers Alf Gentzler and Ralph Moore,and co-rushing chairman Emil Weis,who is a sophomore intramural man¬ager. Bud Arquilla has been activein Blackfriars and the Social Commit¬tee, Phil Strick plays in the band, andBruce Dickson works on Pulse and theMaroon. Other men in the delegationare John Parish, George Williams,and Clark Watkin.Phi Psi is the only fraternity thathas a house mother, and hence canhave women in the house at any time.It is also one of the few chapters thatinvites the women’s club over forlunches or open houses.In intramurals the brothers rankedfourth in total points last year, andwere above average in scholarship,placing seventh. They are tied for .sec¬ond as the most expensive house inwhich to live. Monthly bills for res¬ident actives are $61.25, and for non¬resident actives who eat six meals perweek in the house, $22.50. The initia¬tion fee is $75.Phi Kappa Psi was founded at Jef¬ferson College (now Washington andJefferson) in 1861. There are 52 chap¬ters spread all over the country. Thelocal chapter was established at theold Chicago University in 1865, andre-established in the new universityin 1893.Locally Phi Psi has always beenconsidered one of the “Big Four”, andis definitely lip to par this year. Thehouse took second in Victory Vanities,and won the Homecoming Decora¬tions cup for the third time in fouryears. Last spring the brothers wererunners-up for the quantity cup in theI-F Sing. Author of Books onTheory that Words Are**Mere Symbols.**Dr. Leonard Bloomfield, chairmanof the Department of Linguistics, hasbeen appointed Sterling Professor ofLinguistics at Yale, it was announcedyesterday. The announcement statedthat Dr. Bloomfield is one of theworld’s leading linguists, and that hisbook “Language” is the “best sum¬mary of the conclusions gained by thescience of linguistics” since previousstandard works were published in theearly part of the nineteenth century.Other writings by Dr. Bloomfield havegiven sound reasons for the theory re¬cently advanced in somewhat sensa¬tional form that words are mere sym¬bols, the announcement continued,adding that he has demonstrated howknowledge of the real nature of thelinguistic machinery necessarily em¬ployed by all scholars can help toavoid much doubt and misunderstand¬ing.Professor Bloomfield is a graduateof Harvard University, Class of 1906,and after studying in Europe, re¬ceived his Doctor of Philosophy de¬gree at the University of Chicago in1909. He has taught at the Universityof Wisconsin, University of Cincin¬nati, and Ohio State University, andin 1927 was appointed Professor of(Continued on page three)Halloween night might have casta greater spell on the kids of theUniversity neighborhood had theyknown that right on the campus wasa skull strewn, bone scattered placethat equals any horrible dungeon ofstory-book fame.This “chamber of horrors” is noth¬ing less than the University’s an¬thropology laboratory located onEllis at 6()th. Beyond its doors isstored the most unique of the Uni¬versity’s many libraries—a library ofskeletons. Boxed neatly in cartonsand arranged in shelves, this collec¬tion contains somewhat over 600 com¬plete human frameworks.Lorado’s Taft’s StudioThe present anthropology labora¬tory is locate<l in what once was thestudio of the late Lorado Taft, sculp¬tor, an example of whose work, “TheFountain of Time” stands at the westend of the Midway. The laboratoryis entered through a large medievallooking arched room, which in Taft’stime was known as the “Great Hall.”In this vaulted chamber Taft wasknown to sit enthroned like a medievalbaron at the hea<l of a long tableladen with food, while a warm fireroared vigorously over the hearth.The Anthropology Department is stillin the process of moving out statuaryas it moves skeletons in.625 SkeletonsThe bones in the laboratory are be¬ing collected from two generalsources: one is from the excavationsof various Indian mounds in southernIllinois which the department is ex¬ploring, and the other is from theMedical School which is now turningbodies over to the laboratory afterdissection. Approximately 500 of theTalley Previews•^Madame Butterfly”Mr. Howard Talley will preview“Madame Butterfly” at the OperaHour today at 3:30 in the SouthLounge of the Reynolds Club.“Many people know the story andsome people know the music. It ismy purpose to show how sympathet¬ically Puccini has treated the text,”says Mr. Talley.Some of the opera stars will bepresent as guests of the Oprea Hour,but it is not deflnite which stars willbe able to attend.Head aid of the Hour will be JoanLyding and helping her, Mimi Evans,Caroline Grabo, Areta Kelble, JoanneKircher, Mary Margaret Mayer, Bet¬ty Jane Nelson, Mary Lou Price, DanCrabbe, George Garvey, Chuck Mac-Lellan, Bill McCormack, Bill Reid,Bob Reynolds, Paul Wochos, and Rich¬ard Worthington. Douglas HoldsFirst Sth WardI Town MeetingFirst of the Town Hall meetingspromised the people of the Sth wardby Alderman Paul Douglas in hiscampaign for election will be heldthis evening at 8 o’clock in the JohnWoolman Hall of the First UnitarianChurch at 1174 E. 57th Street.With a Town Crier announcing theevent to the residents of Hyde Park,the Town Hall meeting will hear areport by Alderman Douglas of hisactivities in the City Council to befollowing by criticisms and sugges¬tions from those assembled.“The Town Hall meeting is notmerely an historical ornament,” Al¬derman Douglas said. “It is as neces¬sary to-day as it was for the earlyNew Englanders. I regard it as aserious forum of people meeting withtheir elected officials to workout com¬mon problems. It is my hope thatfrom the.se Town Hall meetings willcome practical suggestions for a pro¬gram of action in the ward and city.“With national and internationalissues attracting so much attention,many people feel that municipal prob-(Continued on page three)skeletons that have been stored todate are Indians, the remaining 125being a mixture of races.The department plans to continueadding to the collection, with the pur-po.se in niind" of using it as a sourceof reference and research for Univer¬sity students of physical anthropol¬ogy-A great deal of archaeological workis also being done by the departmentin the Illinois mounds under investi¬gation. . Pieces of pottery and otherremains are continually received tobe sifted and classified.A science known as dendrochronol¬ogy also has a niche in the anthro¬pology laboratory. Dendrochronologyis the art of dating ancient remainsby a proce.ss called “tree-ring dating.”Dr. Florence Hawley, one of thepioneer workers in this field, will soonresume her work at the Universityafter several months in the Mississip¬pi area collecting data. She hopesto determine the dates of several un¬covered Indian remains in this areawhich anthropologists have been ableto approximate only roughly.Bathhurst^ LeviHear Laiv StudentsIn SeminarMaurice E. Bathurst, tutorial fel¬low from Cambridge College, Eng¬land, and Edward H. Levi, assistantprofessor in law, are acting as fac¬ulty representatives at the first ofthe Bar Association’s seminars onstudent views of the Law School to¬day at 3:30 in room 4 of the Lawbuilding.In no sense a debate between stu¬dents and the faculty representatives,the seminars have been made part ofthe Bar Association’s program for thepurpose of helping students who findthemselves in difficulty, hearing theirobjections to any phase of law teach¬ing, and considering constructivecriticisms which they may have tooffer the Law School administration.Psychology LecturesA series of discussions on “The Psy¬chology of Everyday Life” are pre¬sented in Billings every Monday from5 to 6 by Dr. Irene Tufts Mead of theStudent Health Service. The discus¬sions include some of the following:the meaning of inferiority feelings,the blues, homesickness, shyness, wor¬ry, superiority complexes, coeduca¬tional relationships, the inability toconcentrate, forgetting, and mislay¬ing objects. Students who want toattend the class are required to regis¬ter at the Student Health Service.Library of Skeletons ReplacesSculptures of Old Taft Studio New Rush Schedule,Transfers, Boost CluhPledge Lists To 147Students FormAero Club; ToMeet at KentStudents interested in aeronauticswill meet this afternoon in Kent 106at 4:30. Questions of organizationwill be taken up and a governmentrepresentative will be present to tellabout the course. Between thirty andforty students out of the three hun¬dred applicants will be accepted forthe course.Women in the ratio of 1:10 willbe allowed to take the course. Onconsent of parents and after a physi¬cal examination students between theages of 18 and 25 will be consideredfor the course. In the event that morepass the requisites than there areplaces for in the class, the govern¬ment’s dislike of freshmen will beconsidered.Accredit CourseThe flying course will be given bythe University as approved by thefederal government and as such willbe an accredited course. The fee willdepend upon the undeterminedamount of credit which will be givenfor the course. The course will beslightly more than $26 which is theprice of the required insurance andupon its completion the students willbe eligible for a private pilot’s license.The government pays for the flyinginstructions and faculty membershave contributod-their services fur theground work. There will be seventy-two hours of ground work which theuniversity expects to give at the rateof six hours every week, thereby com¬pleting eighteen hours of work beforethe end of the quarter.Ground work will start the firstweek in December and actual flyinginstructions will begin in the winter iquarter. Weather conditions willprobably not permit actual flying un¬til sometime in February. This in¬struction will take place at somesmall government approved airportwithin ten miles of the university.Freshmen BeginSocial ProgramWith DanceAccepting the challenge flung atthem via the Maroon editorial col¬umn, the freshman council inaugu¬rates its social program with its firstproject, a sports dance to be heldFriday, December 1, in Ida Noyes.To add to the uniqueness of thisdance, which will be limited to fresh¬men only, a date bureau has been or¬ganized to find bashful freshmen suit¬able dates for the evening. The mem¬bers of the council constitute the per¬sonnel of the bureau and promise topair off the fellows and girls as v/ellas they can.Chuck Tanis, Olympia Fields golfpro, is the only professional of whomthe council is sure at this time, butBill Osmanski and a couple of hisChicago Bear teammates will prob¬ably attend also. University talentwill also be in evidence. Peggy O’Neilwill demonstrate her talents as amember of the Lake Shore A. C. wa¬ter ballet, and Bill Self and LawrenceMarcus, top dormitory ping pong play¬ers, will exhibit their skill. Exhibi¬tions in billiards, boxing, bowling andbadminton will also be given.Varsity teams will be representedin basketball, swimming, water polo,gymnastics and fencing.The sports carnival will last from8 to 10, and dancing to Bob Mohl-man’s orchestra takes over from 10to 12:30. The price for couples will be36 cents, stags 25' cents.Since it is to be a sports dance,sports clothes will be the order of theday. Sweaters and skirts for the girlsand anything conceivable for the boyswill be the standard costume. Sigma Sets Record with26; Quadrangler Has 16to Place.Fourteen University women’s clubscompleted the pledging of 147 mem¬bers today. Whether the abolition ofdeferred rushing or the inclusion oftransfer students in the lists are re¬sponsible is difficult to say, but thisnumber is approximately twice thatof last year. Sigma came through witha record crop of 26 pledges, whileQuadrangler lagged far behind in sec¬ond place with 16. Both Pi Delta Phiand Wyvern netted fifteen new mem¬bers, followed by Delta Sigma with 14and Alpha Epsilon with 12.Last year’s leader. Esoteric, washardly in the running with 11 and theother member of the Big Four, Mor¬tar Board, clasped only 10 to its bos¬om, Deltho skirting the rocks accord¬ing to Pulse, was on the bottom withonly one pledge.Chi Rho Sigma and Phi Beta Deltawere next in line for the booby prizewith three pledges each.

While the new little LaborProblems Council tries to keep itself alooffrom ASU domination. Political Union is con¬sidering plans for reorganizations, and petitionsfor the Senior Council are circulating as fastas a few juniors can get around.When the Labor Problems Council organizeda few weeks ago to keep students informedabout what workingmen in the outside worldare doing, it wanted to be as representative acampus group as possible. Because more or¬ganizations than the American Students’Union are interested in labor problems; andbecause, unfortunately, for many people hereASU sponsorship is equivalent to an unrep¬resentative stigma, the Council decided to or¬ganize independently, but with the aid of otherstudent groups. So anxious was the Councilto be truly representative that it abandonedthe name of an “All-Campus” committee sinceexperience has shown such a name seems es¬pecially designed to keep most of the campusaway.Yesterday a subcommittee of the LaborCouncil met to decide matters of policy. Amajority of the subcommittee approved apurely educational program as opposed to theaction advocated by ASU and Communist clubdelegates. Of course the realization that ASUdomination of a group means that group isforever after branded is a reflection both uponthe value of the American Students’ Unionand the intelligence of the rest of the studentshere.Problems of representation are not bother¬ing the Political Union. Rather, it is seekinga more effective way of getting students todiscuss political issues. Many believe that thepresent set-up of five minute speeches and or¬ganization along Liberal, Conservative, andRadical party' lines is not as good as anotherway might be. Some members recommendrapid debate, and organization similar to thatof the British Parliament. Whatever the Union Traveling BazaarNow that girls’ rushing is all over, we’ll tell youall about it.Of last Friday’s list of thirteen select freshmanwomen, the Mortar Boards got 7, Quadranglers 5, Sig¬mas 1, as follows: >Mortar Board: Beatie Gaidzik, Carolyn Wheeler,Joan Sill, Alice Lowry, Mary Lu Price, Jane Tallman,Jane Warren.Quadrangler: Mary Osborne, Marion McCarthy,Jean Kreuder, Mike Rathje, Doris Alt.Sigma: Mary Miller.What does this prove? Namely, that tactics com¬monly attributed to fraternities get you in the end.For example, we give you a short expose of rushingmethods. Since some of the girls aren’t happy andsince some of them are, we’ll omit names. (General sighof relief from the actives.)A was on the fence until a meeting Saturday morn¬ing. She accepted the Quad invitation for the prefer¬ential dinner, then accepted Mortar Board, rejectingQuad. Sunday afternoon, she tripped to Ida, wroteMortar Board, only to return and switch again, in alachrymose condition. At present writing, she’s stillin condition.* * *B was sewed up at the same Saturday meeting.However, the night before, she had been cornered (hot-boxed) at a party and developed a condition similar tothat of A. Saturday, she was again hotboxed, this timeby a fraternity man, whose influence must be greatlyover-rated, for both sessions backfired, and she wentthe other way.C and D went around together, two carefree fresh¬men on the same age-old fence. They had dates Fridaynight with two unprejudiced upperclassmen, who forgotto rush, since the freshmen were more than freshmen.C went Quad. C and D are still going around together.And the two unprejudiced upperclassmen are still goingaround.B * *E is the mystery girl. Sewed up Mortar Board fromthe beginning of the year, she disappeared at the be¬ginning of intensive rush week and was not heard ofagain—until Sunday, when she joined the Quads out¬side Ida.F and G were (and are) two smart girls. Rushedby Quad and Sigma and overlooked by Mortar Board,they went Sigma. They were in a lachrymose conditionalso, but are recovering rapidly.(Continued on page three)does, the Maroon hopes it will succeed in mak¬ing its members discuss intelligently as wellas rapidly. Too many people are already glibenough in uninformed bull sessions.Representation in another sense is behindthe current senior class excitement. Becausethe aides and marshals, entrusted with respon¬sibility for the senior scholarship fund, arean appointed group Dean Smith believes theclass should be given a chance to elect a morerepresentative council if it wants one. Whetheror not an election will furnish a more repre¬sentative group, however, is doubtful. Aboutten petitions are already in circulation—mostof them for aides and marshals. And thosewho aren’t aides or marshals all belong tosome powerful campus groups. Moreover, onelook at the people most interested in carryingon the seniors’ campaigns seems to indicatethat next year’s graduating class ought to havea bang-up election—it has skillful political en¬thusiasts right now.All this activity should be great fun for afew people and give others a chance to be im¬portant. Whether it is the way undergraduatesshould be spending their time is another ques¬tion. ClassifiedEXPERIENCED TYPISTWill call for and deliver promptly.E. Welsch.

Time andtime again Chicago would take theball and march down the field towardshitherto forsaken territory.Davenport StarsIt was one man, Johnny Davenport,who carried the brunt of the Maroonattack. He scored three of the fourtouchdowns, Co-Captain Bob Wasemcrossing the goal line for the fourth.Davenport, outrunning his inter¬ference most of the time, was a sightfor sore eyes as he managed to breakaway for long gains—longer than anyMaroon player has made this year.Although he would occasionally runinto his tacklers when a side-step ortwo meant longer gains, Davenport |gave his best performance of the year |in the second half and vindicated him- iself completely when he eluded would- ibe tacklers by displaying enough |power in his drives to away from an iopponent’s grasp.
