This year the Maroon issending: Phi Belt senior Gordon Mur¬ray to Sun Valley for his Christmasvacation because he is the most rep¬resentative man in school. In thechapter house is a radio which thebrothers won in a Cap and Gown con¬test.The main reason for Phi Belt suc¬cess in these contests is the ability ofthe Phi Belt of whom Phi Belts aremost proud. Orgranizer Johnny Bex isadvertising: manag:er of the Cap andGown, a junior on the Student Pub¬licity Board, and is one of the betterjuniors on the Maroon business staff.He is the -secretary of Iron Mask andhas won a major “C” in football.* * *Next most prominent junior is JohnDoolittle, business manag:er of theDramatic Association. He is also amember of Iron Mask and a junior onthe Student Publicity Board.As Phi Belt rushing: chairman Doo¬little will have a toug:h job equalling:the record set by last year’s rushing:-committee.

Kiepura^ Gianini Appear asGuests at Last Opera HourJAN KIEPCRA Talley Discusses Wag-\ner*s **Die Walkure” in\Reynolds Club.Jan Kiepura and Dussolini Gianini!will be the guests of honor at the final,'presentation of the 1939 Opera Hour {series this afternoon. Kiepura is wellknown both to opera-goers and tomovie fans although most of hiscinema work has been on the Conti¬nent.Die WalkureHoward Talley of the Music depart¬ment winds up the season with a re¬view of Wagner’s famous opera DieWalkure. During the past few yearsthis opera, together with others of thefamous “King of the Niebelunge” hasbecome most popular with opera-lov¬ers. The acquisition of Kirsten Flag¬stad, foremost Wagnerian soprano,and of Lauritz Melchior, famed tenor,has added much to the interpretationof all Wagnerian roles.Mrs. James G. Macmillan, presidentof the Illinois Opera Guild and mem¬bers of the Chicago Opera Guild willalso attend. The aides for the after¬noon will be Joan Lyding assisted byPat Lyding, Margery Brooks, Eliza¬beth Clarke, Dorothy De Jong, MaryHerschel, Alice Lowry and Jdan Sill.The marshalls of the hour will in¬clude Bob Evans, Alan Green, LeeHewitt, John Kemler, Chuck Mowery, jDick Salzmann, Roy Stanton, and |Harold Wright.O’HaraTacklesTheatreParadoxesIn ‘‘Today in American Drama”“Tragedies without finality,” “Com¬edies without a laugh,” “Melodramawithout a meaning,” “Farce with apurpose,” are all paradoxes whichserve to confuse the modern theatre¬goer with a categorical mind. Per- jhaps not every first-nighter has ob- jserved this modern lack of conformity, ibut Frank Hubert O’Hara, in his just |published book “Today in AmericanDrama,” finds in it a meaty subjectfor witty analysis.Mr. O’Hara strongly suspects thattoday’s plays may be only masquer¬ading under the time-honored categor¬ies of yesterday — tragedy, comedyand the others. The question is: “Howwell do the old labels fit the newplays or do they fit at all?”Playwright’s MotivesPenetrating beneath the plays forthe playwright’s motives and mean¬ings, O’Hara surveys the theatre faredesigned for audiences psychological¬ly self-conscious and sociologicallyanalytical. In his first chapter, hedeals with the so-called “propagandaplay.”Is “The Little Foxes” comedy, trag¬edy, or melodrama? Is “You Can’tTake it With You” a farce, or is “AbeLincoln in Illinois” propagan 'a, and,if so, to the right or to the left? Ofthese things Mr. O’Hara isn’t surehimself, but invites the reader to makean attempt at deciding for himself.“Probably there never was a play¬wright—at least not one whose namelingers in the annals of the stage—who said to himself, ‘Today, I thinkI shall write a tragedy.’ If he werereally born to the purple, he had astory to tell and he told it in the mostmoving way he could tell it . . .” Theclassification is unimportant to theplaywright, but handy for the rest ofus. It is a short cut. The most it doesis tell us what not to look for, theauthor says. Those who say that trag¬edy is passing from the Americanstage mean only that our point ofBorgese and Mann,Schmitt, Ames MarryA warm Thanksgiving loosened upcorpuscles enough so that when lovecame to the campus last week-end, itwas open-armedly met. ProfessorsGuiseppe Borgese and BernadotteSchmitt were married. Borgese is aself-exile from fascist Italy, his wife |a self-exile from fascist Germany, thedaughter of Thomas Mann, famousnovelist. Bushy-browed Mr. Borgeseis fiftyish; his wife is not. Schmitt, aMacLeish distinguished service pro¬fessor, married the daughter of Ed¬ward Scribner Ames, former head oftlie Philosophy department. view has changed, for tragedy could jnever pass on. “We wrest differentmeaning from finality and we call dif¬ferent actions ‘Catastrophic.’ We havedifferent standards, different sanc¬tions for morality; and ethical sanc¬tions are the backdrop against whichtragedies are played.”O’Hara’s courses in twentieth-cen¬tury drama, play-writing, and playproduction at the University areknown to a generation of students.Amateur actors, and campus theater¬goers remember him for his years asdirector of Dramatic Association pro¬ductions. Howard Vincent O’Briensays of him: “The actors trained byFrank O’Hara and the plays put onby him, come nearer to professionalstandards than any amateurs I haveever seen. Every addict of the theateris in his debt.”He is editor of “University of Chi¬cago Plays, Skits, and Lyrics,” andco-author, with Margueritte HarmonBro, of “A Handbook of Drama.” Thepresent book was published by theUniversity of Chicago Press.Dr. Wind OpensSeries of LecturesOn Raphael Frescoes“The Renaissance Philosophy inRaphael’s Frescoes” is the title of aseries of three lectures by Dr. EdgarWind of the Warburg Institute inLondon, the first of which will begiven today. The lectures will be pre¬sented under the auspices of the De¬partment of Art on November 28, 29,and 30, at 4:30 in Classics 10. iToday’s lecture is on “The Schoolof Athens,” and the two subsequentlectures will deal with “The Disputa”and “The Concordance of Justice andLove”.Dr. WindA member of the Warburg Insti-*tute. Dr. Wind is noted as a greatscholar in the history of ideas, andhis interest and scholarly work doneon art is part of his work in theformer more extensive field. A pupilof Ernest Cassierer, the famous phi¬losopher, Dr. Wind received his aca¬demic training at Hamburg. He haswritten extensively on aestheic andphilosophic matters for the Journalof the Warburg Institute. This peri¬odical is available at the Universitylibraries. Dr. Wind is in this countryfor a short visit, but he has previouslybeen here and has taught at ColumbiaUniversity.The lectures are comprehensive intheir view of the period and the par¬ticular philosophy in which Raphael’swork was set. Mark Anniversary ofBuilding^s DedicationDEAN REDFIELDShubart TakesMorgenstem’sPlace Till ’41William Morgenstem no longer oc¬cupies his private office in HarperM14. Swiveling in the chair of the Di¬rector of Press Relations is nearlybald, young Harry Shubart, most ca¬pable of the Morgenstem henchmen.lV)!orgenstern, from now until 1941or at least until the University hasraised a sufficiency of money in thecurrent Alumni campaign, is Directorof Publicity for the newly-born Alum¬ni Foundation. Shubart is acting Di¬rector of the University’s crack pub-'licity office.Interrupted in his swiveling, Shu¬bart announced that the reason for thechange was to free "boss Morgermternfrom the administrative detail of thePublicity Office, and to allow him timeto devote his full energies to the fill¬ing up of the hole-to-be in the Uni¬versity’s budget.Shubart said he expected to fillMorgenstem’s shoes only for a shorttime—he said the shorter, the better.But he looked impressive with hisfeet where Morgenstern’s once werewont to rest.Collegium MiisiciimBegins ConcertSeries for YearThe Collegium Musicum, a vocaland instrumental group which playspre-classical music, gives its first con¬cert of the year Sunday at 8 in BondChapel.

Fundamentally, this advancein knowledge affects every citizen un¬der our democratic government.”Speakers at the two-day gatheringwill include Herny Bruere, authorityon industrial relations and civic prob¬lems and president of the BowerySavings Bank, New York City; Presi¬dent Ray Lyman Wilbur, of Stan¬ford University; Beardsley Ruml,vice-president of Macy’s, New YorkCity and former dean of the Divisionof the Social Sciences of the Univer¬sity; and Dean Redfield and Profes¬sors Charles E. Merriam, WilliamFielding Ogburn, L. L. Thurstone andLouis Wirth, all of the University.In the ten years since the SocialScience Building was dedicated meth¬ods of study initiated here have beenaccepted elsewhere and have becomestandard practices among social sci¬entists in many places.Establishment of Methods“The study of urban areas, thework done in quantitative economicsand the methods of factor analysisare examples of procedures herewhich have been added to the tool¬box of social science. The decade hasseen, in other words, says Dean Red¬field, “the establishment of newmethods for study which ten yearsago were tentative and experimental.”Dynamic SetFreezesMomentFor DA PlayBy PEARL C. RUBINSA “dynamic set,”' the first of itstype ever used in campus dramatics,will be one of the focal points of theDA Workshop’s production of “UncleVanya” to be given Dec. 5, 6 and 7thin Reynolds Club Theatre. The set hasbeen Resigned by Barry Farnol, stu-dent-at-large, and former instructorat Grinnel College.Farnol, who received his trainingunder the renowned Sudeikin, has de¬signed the set so that its lines impartmotion. It can best be described asan attempt to capture the frozen mo¬ment. In a word it is the most uniqueset ever contrived for campus drama.There will be one backgroundthroughout, that of an orchard havingbirch trees as its motif. In the fore¬ground there will be the interiors.Two sets have been designed for theinteriors, one the drawing room andthe other Vanya’s study. The interiorand the exterior are presented at thesame time, but the green and purpleof the interior centers the attentionupon the inside scene.Unique ExperimentThis, the most professional of allWorkshop sets, was executed by thedesigner Farnol, his wife, and Dem-arest Polacheck, assistant director. Itis, on the whole, a unique experimentin design.Jack Kronmeyer has done two char¬acter portraits in “Colorchrome”which will be exhibited in Mandel Cor¬ridor. These pictures are a compositeof oil and photography and show thefeminine leads: Ruth Ahlquist as Hel¬ena and Marian Castleman as Sonia.Page Two THE DAILY MAROON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1939^aromtFOUNDED IN 1901MEMBER ASSOCIATED COLLEGIATE PRESSThe Daily Maroon is the official student newspaper of the Uni¬versity of Chicago, published mornings except Saturday, Sunday andMonday during the Autumn, Winter and Spring Quarters by theDaily Maroon Compahy, 5831 University avenue.

Rubins. John Stevens.Hart Wurzburg. Marian Castleman, Ernest LeiserNiqht Editor: John JeffersonAssistant: Mark FisherTo Prevent MisunderstandingThe Associated Collegiate Press made amistake in its bulletin this week. To studentnewspapers all over the country it announcedthat the Daily Maroon is “thumping vigor¬ously for a winning football system” and isasking “that its alma mater’s administrationrevise its policy” so that football may be sub¬sidized. Quotations from a Maroon editorialfurther amplify the bulletin.Unfortunately the Collegiate Press tookboth its statement of the Maroon position andthe quotations to back it up from an editorialwritten by a staff member who is not on theBoard of Control. The editorial was initialledexpressly to indicate that it neither represent¬ed official Board of Control opinion nor waswritten by the regular editorial writer. Withthree other editorials stating the Board’s opin¬ion to choose from it is too bad that the As¬sociated Collegiate Press should have madesuch an unhappy and misleading selection.Both directly and indirectly the Maroonhas maintained that football is accidental andnot essential to an educational institution. Be¬cause the University of Chicago is prouder ofbeing an educational institution than someother schools are, it follows naturally that thisUniversity should be even less concerned withfootball. Here, football should exist only toprovide exercise for the participants and aninteresting spectacle for the onlookers. Butunder present conditions the game is neithergood exercise nor good fun to w^atch.By the accident of convention, however,football is considered an important collegiatefunction. That is the Maroon’s only reasonfor bothering tq, treat the matter editorially.Also, that is the only justification for carryingon high-powered football at any real educa¬tional institution—people expect it.It seems that the people who want the Uni¬versity to have an important team can befound most of all among the alumni. Then ifthe alumni are the ones responsible for theUniversity’s continuing football, they shouldbe responsible also for making such continua¬tion endurable. Otherwise, it will be foolish forthe team to carry out the schedule facing itfor the next three years.Indirectly, the Maroon has tried to defendthe administration’s de-emphasis of football.While, as the editorial quoted by the Pressstated, it is true that the University will havea deficit of over half a million dollars in 1941,it is not easy to see just how subsidization isgoing to be a safe and sure way of making upthat deficit. And if the University can con¬tinue to exist only at the cost of devoting itsadministration to the important business offootball; then this school will have to stopboasting about its unique emphasis on loftyintellectual ideals. The Maroon has enoughfaith in the American people, however, to be¬lieve that they will still give money to encour¬age the use of reason.Because subsidization seems a good idea tomany students, and because the Maroon wantsto encourage its staff members to develop andarticulate ideas, the Board of Control allowedthe arguments for subsidization to appear inan editorial. But from now on, in order toavoid misunderstanding not necessarily aris¬ing from the editorial writer’s natural inabilityto make her position clear, the Board will tryto confine all expressions of opinion not rep¬resenting official Maroon attitudes to Bull Ses¬sions and letters.
