They wind up their week¬end activity with a meeting in Dr.Gilkey’s home at 7:30 in the evening.The outing is open to everyone andthe cost for transportation and mealswill total $1. Those who wish to at¬tend should sign up in the Chapel of¬fice today. Howard Carter, instructorin English, will discuss “Literature asan Avocation.’’At Dr. Gilkey’s home, Dean Colwellof the Divinity School will speak be¬fore a CU audience and anyone whocares to attend, on the topic “Jesus’Philosophy of Life.’’ , DA ProducesYear’s FirstCostume PlayFinal touches are being put on theDA W'orkshop’s “Uncle Vanya’’ whichwill have its premiere Tuesday nightand be performed again on Wednes¬day and Thursday nights. The drama,the first costume play to be given bythe Worksh(5p, is being given in theTheatre of Reynold’s Club at eightj and tickets are now on sale tn theI Mandel Corridor box office.! Members of the cast include PierceI Atwater as Uncle Vanya; Ruth Ahl-! quist, Helena; Marian Castleman,I Sonya; Jack Campbell, Astroflf; Rob¬ert Cohn, the Professor; Gloria Ploe-pst, the nurse; Peggy O’Neill thegrandmother; George Schoss, Telegin.The set for “Uncle Vanya’’ is thefirst “Dynamic set’’ to ever be usedin campus dramatics. It was designedby Barry Farnol, student at large andformer Grinnel College instructor and; executed by Farnol, his wife, and as-j sistant director Demarest Polacheck.The plot deals with the situation of' an old man, Vanya, who falls in lovej with a young, beautiful girl and hisI subsequent disillusion. It carries in itsI atmosphere the heavy frustration of19th century Russian bourgeoise life*.The plays of Chekhov are all charac¬terized by their melancholy and hope¬lessness.The costuming has been done byHarriet Paine and its motif is inkeeping with the modem decor. Pre¬vious Workshop plays regardless oftheir period have been done in mod¬ern dress. It is not only the first cos¬tume play but it is the first productionwhich has featured music in its per¬formance and the inaugural Workshopshow whose rehearsals have been opento the campus. “Uncle Vanya’’ direc¬tor William Randall began this pro¬cedure and has called the audiencerehearsals “highly succes.sful and en¬couraging’’.I CollegiumOpengSeason SundayThe Collegium Musicum, whichgives its first performance of the yearSunday at 8 in Bond Chapel, is ayear old addition to the list of stu¬dent activities. Numbers performedwill include Marini’s “A Passacaglia’’Trio Sonata by Rosenmiller; Con¬certo grosso in E minor by Handeland two symphoniac sacrae bySchuetz.A group of vocal and instrumentalartists whose numbers varied between10 and 18 was organized last year toplay and enjoy music that cannot beheard other places. The music playedconsists of numbers from the 12th to18th centuries, the oldest being a 12thcentury chorus. The purpose of play¬ing these pieces is not only historicalor academic but rests on the beliefthat pre-classical music is as beauti¬ful as that we are accustomed to hear.Five concerts were given last yearby the group and most of the worksperformed had their initial perform¬ance in the United States. SiegmundLevarie conducts the Collegium.American PhysicalSociety Meets HereThe 230th meeting of the AmericanPhysical Society will be held in Eck-hart and Ryerson Halls today and to¬morrow. At this annual fall meeting,14 out of the 38 papers presented willbe delivered by men connected withthe University.

Seniors NameClass Council;Over 150 VoteElect Anderson, Geiger,Iselman, Pfeiffer, Rey¬nolds.The Senior Class yesterday com¬pleted the election of its Council. Over150 seniors voted at tlie polling placein Mandel Corridor and elected JimAnderson, Janet Geiger, Thelma Isel-man, Charles Pfeiffer, and Bob Rey¬nolds to head their activities for theyear.Meet MondayThe first meeting of the Council,said Chuck Pfeiffer, who resigned hisposition as chairman of* the organiz¬ing committee for the Council, to takeover his job as Senior Councilman,will be in Dean Smith’s office, Mondayat 2:30. This was the decision of theorganizing committee.At the opening meeting the Councilwill elect its chairman, whose func¬tion will be to preside at the Councilmeetings.To Raise MoneyThe functions of the new Councilwill be mainly money-raising ones.The Council was selected to carry onthe newly-founded tradition of main¬taining a Senior Class endowmentfund, which would provide scholar¬ships for needy seniors. Last yearthis was done by a Fandango. Thetradition of the Fandango will prob¬ably continue, although the Councilhas not had a chance to express it¬self yet.The election culminated two daysof balloting. There were twelve can¬didates for the five positions.Chaucer DisplayIn BookstoreWindowIThe ever changing show in theBookstore windows will today featurea display of manuscript facsimiliesused by Professors Manly and Rick-ert in preparing their distinguished“Text of'the Canterbury Tales’’ to bepublished by the University PressJanuary 2.Photographic ReproductionsFour photographic reproductions offamous manuscript pages in the realmof Chaucerian scholars are the mainattractions. Number one item is acomplete facsimile of the “Ellesmere,’’MS, which is owned by the Chaucerian ilaboratory of the University. Thisfacsimile, a broad and weighty vol¬ume, is elaborately illuminated incolor, and its original is believed thebest of the texts. Number two is thefirst page of the famous “Hengwrt’’MS, which now resides in the NationalLibrary of Wales. This moth-eatenfragment has been of the highest val¬ue in establishing the text of the“Tales.’’The third exhibit is a page from“Cambridge G. g. 4.27’’ which getsits name from its call number in Cam¬bridge University’s library. This pageis famed for its picture of a pilgrimsitting on a most mishapen but cheer¬ful looking horse. The pilgrim is oneof only six pictured in all 83 of theancestral MSS existing today. Ex¬hibit number four is a page from theelaborately illuminated “Devonshire’’text.Rev.

Dean Of StudentsTestifies BeforeDies CommitteeMr. SmithRuss InvasionInexcusable—GottschalkBy MARIAN CASTLEMAN“There is some reason to believeRussia’s excuse for invading Finland,but such an excuse in no way justifiesRussia’s action,’’ said Louis R. Gott¬schalk, professor of History, in regardto Russia’s invasion of Finland “toprotect Leningrad.” However, he be¬lieves that it is foolhardy for the 3,-000,000 Finns to attempt to defendtheir freedom from 170,000,000 Rus¬sians.Decision to FightFinland’s decision to fight may bedue to several suppostions probablyheld by her foreign office. As Gott¬schalk sees it the Finns may have puttrust in the rumors that Russia wasmerely bluffing and unwilling to enterinto actual warfare. Secondly, theymay have felt that the political andeconomic structure of Russia wouldcollapse immediately upon the out¬break of war. Another alternativewould have been the hope that byholding off for a few days Finlandwould be able to enlist the help of theother Scandinavian countries or evenEngland and France. Finally, it isvery possible that a powerful groupin the little nation preferred defenseof their honoy to the avoidance of thephysical destruction of their country.Help IneffectiveBut Professor Gottschalk believesthese reasons fail to make Finland’sdeclaration of war reasonable. “Evenshould Sweden and Norway decide tosend aid, such help would be ineffec¬tive,” he claims. “France and Eng¬land are powerless,” he adds, “forthey cannot enter the Baltic Sea. Themost they could do is to provide fi¬nancial assistance, and that would beeffective only in a prolonged war.”Gottschalk considers that the pro¬tection of Leningrad may very wellbe Russia’s true reason for the inva¬sion. For whoever attains supremacyin Finland will also acquire a menac¬ing point of attack on Russia’s keycity. That Russia found it necessaryto ward off this possibility by forcewill undoubtedly alienate the sympa¬thies of the American public evenmore.The reason that the Hutchins’statement regarding football does¬n’t sound like a Hutchins’ state¬ment is that it isn’t a Hutchins’statement.I think the statement should beattributed to Mr. William T.Hutchinson in the Department ofHistory.This is a correction, not a pro¬test.Signed Preston S. Cutler,Office of the President(If three Indianapolis paperscan say it’s Robert MaynardHutchins, so can we. The lessonwe’ve learned is to believe nothingwe read in the newspapers.) Calls Communist Cluband ASU Un-AmericanActivities.(Special from the Washington Post)“Two student groups at the Univer-1 sity of Chicago, the American Studentj Union and the Communist Club, areengaged in unAmerican or subversiveactivities.”“There is absolutely no doubt in mymind j;hat the American Student Un¬ion is indirectly controlled by theCommunist Party.”Dies SubcommitteeThis was the testimony given byDean Leon P. Smith befoi'e a DiesI subcommittee yesterday in Washing-1 ton. Dean Smith left his office yester-! day afternoon, and is expected backfrom his lightning visit sometime to-day.I With the files of membership of theI University’s Communist Club in hisportfolio. Dean Smith told the sub¬committee, composed of Representa¬tive Voorhis of California, Represen¬tative Mason of Illinois, and ChairmanStarnes of Alabama, how the groupswhich he termed subversive workedon campus.Party PropagandaHe said that the Communist Clubwas engaged primarily in spreadingparty propaganda and in studying thephilosophy of Marxism. He toW theDies henchmen that it was originallyknown as the “Browder-for-presidentClub” but changed its name after theelection of 1936.He said that the official purpose ofthe ASU was to preserve democracyand concern itself with racial, labor,and social problems. It worked, ac¬cording to Dean Smith, through smallgroups connected with dramatic andsocial affairs. Two years ago, saidSmith, the Union had 480 membersat the University.Communist DominatedWhen the counsel for the Commit-te, Rhea Y^hitley, asked if the ASUwas under the domination of the Com¬munist Party, Smith expressed theopinion that the great majority of themembers of the executive committeeof the Union either belonged to theParty or were fellow-travelers.The Committee also wanted to knowif the Daily Maroon were communist-dominated Dean Smith’s reply wasthat “so far as I know there is onlyone ardent Communist on the DailyMaroon.” The individual was notnamed, but it was obvious that theperson referred to was Mrs. JamesPeterson, wife of the former presidentof the Communist Club.(Continued on page four)Giesbert ExhibitIn GoodspeedEdmund Giesbert’s one man show ofpaintings and sketches, sponsored bythe Art department, opens today inthe galleries of Goodspeed Hall.

His Phi Psi brother, WallyYoung, told it to me, so it must be true.Bill had a date one night. She was a wonderfulgirl. Bill liked her. But a couple of days later, henoticed a breaking out on his lips, which got worse andworse. “My God,” groaned Bill, “Can this be love?”and fled over to Student Health. Student Health in¬quired into the facts of the case, and after fluoroscop-ing his chest and examining his arches, solemnly toldhhn that he was allergic to the wonderful girl’s lipstick.Nothing daunted, Big Bill set quickly out on a courseof action. Once he went out with another girl. Heknew he wasn’t allergic to her lipstick. But she wasin California. So he wrote her, and found out with thesubtle finesse that only a Phi Psi can muster, what kindof lipstick she used. Now the wonderful girl uses it,and Bill no longer has bumpy lip*.A Wonderful Contributionwas given us by Lee Weinstein, Herald-Americanreporter, who would double-cross himself to get a story,and who dislikes the Maroon’s favorite Dean Randallbut who has a wonderful sense of humor. In case youweren’t knowing it, it’s werse.“In regards to the following pipple, believe me nogirlies should sniffle. It’s pure*accidental, and coinci¬dental. Any feelings, I hope, it should riffle.

LIGHT ~ Keeper1453 HYDE PARK BLVD.DINNER AT THE UGHT HOUSEThe seniors, like the freshman class, havea full-fledged council of their ov^n now. Un¬like the freshmen, however, the seniors hadcertain definite duties for a council to performbefore they elected it. These duties, of course,could have been cared for by some group otherthan the council, and even some of the candi¬dates said they thought the council unneces¬sary. But the indifferent upperclassmen wereurged on to be political chiefly by juniors; thefreshmen had the guidance of sophomores.All the members of the senior council arecapable and hard-working people. This isshown simply by the fact that all of them havesurvived over three years at the University.During this time they have managed-to passtheir courses even while working hard enoughin activities to attain a degree of prominencesufficient to make those backing them considerthem potentially successful candidates. Noneof the council members will be caught unawareby the added burden of their new duties; bythis time they must have arranged their pro¬grams for the year so as to provide plenty ofspace for activities functions; and some ofthem, no doubt have already provided for de¬layed graduation.If this were the ideal University such sit¬uations as those mentioned in the precedingparagraph would be deplorable. To think ofdivisional students actually using up enoughof the tuition fees and time they should bespending on pursuit of truth in running activi¬ties instead so that these activities become aserious occupation of their lives here would beshocking. But this is not yet the ideal Univer¬sity, and such statements as those in the pre¬ceding paragraph are merely repetition of theobvious.At the ideal University extra-curricularactivities should provide relaxation and exer¬cise for students; give them a chance to pur¬sue their interests with congenial company.But responsibility for carrying on any high-powered activities very well would ultimatelyonly conflict with the primary purpose forwhich students would attend the ideal school.At such a school, then, activities would eithernot be high-powered or students doing the Uni¬versity level of work would not be responsiblefor them. Glorification of activities is one ofthe many obstacles keeping universities frombeing as good as they can be.Yet this school is closer to the ideal thanmost other universities. Traditionally, its ex¬tra-curricular program is just wide enough sothat its students may have a chance for a well-rounded life. Not many undergraduates tryto be outstanding in activities—they know itinvolves hard labor with little glory; and themeasure of virtue here is still predominantlyintellectual.Lately there has been a growing emphasison the extra-curricular side of life. Maybethis new emphasis is a matter of rhetoric, toattract funds so that the school may continueto exist. Whatever it is, it will be foolish ifit goes too far because there are already somany other better Joe College places, so fewintellectual ones.The senior election gave the few pressuregroups on this campus one of their rare chancesto have some fun. The facts that these groupsseldom have much opportunity to be influentialhere, that they had to work hard to make thegraduating class aware that an election wasbeing held are encouraging ones, and indicateprogress towards an ideal. Maybe by the timethis year’s freshmen grow into seniors they So hurry and tattle to Randall; it’s brewing: downhere a big scandal.

Sev¬eral years ago, SAE, strong nationally, went on therocks on this campus, lost its house and the chapter wasofficially closed. Because in its comeback, SAE had nohouse the Inter-fraternity Council refused to recognizethe new chapter.When a group of fifteen dormitory men petitionedDean Smith last year for recognition as a new chapterof SAE, Smith granted this recognition; the Universityruling being that any group of ten or more memberswho’^ purposes were legal, moral, and ethical could beofficially recognized.Actually when the group became SAE there wereonly eight men, and Dean Smith had the power to re¬voke the recognition on this technical ground. Evi¬dently he thought it unwise, however, and SAE got astart as a dormitory fraternity. Immediately the menapplied for membership in the IF Council. IF said,“No!” After a mild battle the subject was dropped.SAE was not in the Council.This year SAE, strongly supported by the officialsof the alumni groups and their money, tried to forcethemselves into the Council. First step was demand¬ing that they have a free rein in rushing because theywere not in the Inter-Fraternity Council. The Dean’soffice immediately ruled that the rushing code of IFwas the official code of the University and SAE wouldhave to adhere to it.Next SAE had freshmen in the two dormitoryrooms which they rent. IF complained that it wasillegal rushing. Retaliated SAE, “If you say that it isillegal for us to rush in our rooms, then our roomsconstitute a house and therefore we are eligible for IFCouncil.” Of course, SAE has the upper-hand here. IfIF insists that SAE has no house, then their dormrooms are open for rushing at any time.Actually SAE is a member of the Inter-fraternityCouncil. The constitution of the Inter-faternity councilstates that once a fraternity is accepted into the Coun¬cil it will always remain a member. On this basis aboutten more fraternities, once functioning on this campusare still officially members and may come back as anorganization any time they round up ten men.IF will not recognize SAE. It is a test case fordormitory fraternities. If SAE is accepted the smallerhouses, and probably the entire fraternity system atthis University will become disrupted. Most dangerousblow will fall on the Alumni of the various fraternitieswho own the individual houses and mortgages. If theirfraternities are driven out by low priced dormitory fra¬ternities, they stand to lose a lot of money. ^ 45c to 75c'The Victrola Shops'.

When you take a puff at one ofthese Carburetor Kaywoodies, you auto¬matically draw air in through a tiny inletin the bottom of the bowl. That incom¬ing air keeps the smoke cool, sweet andserene, no matter how belligerently youpuff. In fact, the harder you puff, themore air comes in. That’s why it’s calleda Carburetor Kaywoodie.

Hesaid that “many times” the Unionhad requested speakers to appear onthe Chicago campus whose px-esencemight create an unfavorable impres¬sion in the city.Student StrikeWhen Representative Mason wantedto know if the Union had engaged inany objectionable activities, Smithtold the committee smilingly that ithad attempted to organize a studentstrike because of a rise in the Univer¬sity’s tuition fees. The rise in thefees, Smith explained, was a result ofthe pi’esent economic situation.Another move of the ASU on thecampus. Smith said, was a “PeaceStrike” on Armistice Day.He told the committee that mem¬bers of the Union had been “quiteembarrassed by the Soviet-NaziPact,” but that they now “boldly as¬sume a new front.”Dean Smith had not been sub¬poenaed by the subcommittee, so histestimony was purely voluntary. Itwas not known in official sources at theUniversity whether he had gone onhis own initiative or whether he hadbeen asked to come to Washington.He was a Captain in the World War,and is a member of the Resei'ved Of¬ficer’s Corp.Took FilesThe lead for the story came whenthe Maroon leaimed that Dean Smithhad gone to Washington for a “coupleof days” and that he had taken thefiles on the Communist Club with him.According to the Maroon’s Wash¬ington soui’ce, John B. Oakes, DeanSmith said that “any group of 10 ormore students can be i-ecognized atChicago as a student organization.”Accoi’ding to administration officei’shere, this is not the complete truth.Oi'ganizations may receive recogni¬tion only if the purposes of the or¬ganizations are legal and consistentwith oi’dinarily recognized standardsof good taste.”As the Deans’ office recognized boththe Communist Club and the ASU aslegal campus organizations, it evident¬ly considered that the two organiza¬tions conform to the University regfu-lations.When questioned as to their com¬ments on Dean Smith’s testimony inWashington yesterday, Sid Lipshire,chairman of the ASU, said, “TheStatement of Dean Leon P. Smiththat the American Student Union isunder the conti’ol of the Communistsis easily proved completely false. Ofthe 17 executive committee members,only two are members of the Com¬munist Club. The ASU has alwayswelcomed into its ranks any personswho were willing to co-operate with itin working for its stated aims and ob¬jectives, and it has had no evidencethat those members of the organiza¬tion who are Communists were doinganything else.” Harry D.

These sub¬ways would of course be connected tothe ground levels and various fioorsby the most modern up to date es¬calators.

Basketball SquadMeets Harvard TonightAlready three weeks havepassed since the class meetingsof the Four-Year College. It isnot too late however to clearup certain misunderstandingswhich arose at that occasion.The most serious of these isperhaps president HowieBrown’s predicament. He wascharged with being a dictatorand a poor president of the 2ndyear because he did not allowdiscussion on the Gargoyle ref¬erendum. It must be clearlyunderstood that Brown wascompletely right in his action.Not only that, but as a goodpresident of his class he coulddo nothing else but try to pre¬vent the discussion.It was not his idea that therebe no discussion, it was the Stu¬dent Council’s. The Councilfelt that a satisfactory discus¬sion would take too much timeand that a short one of five toten minutes was not worthwhile, therefore, no discussionon the Gargoyle referendum.Howie Brown merely executedthe orders of the Council and itwas after all the Council whowanted the vote and took classmeeting time for it. It was notofficial class business and How¬ie had no control over the pro¬ceedings. He had to enforcethe Council’s rulings, because itwas the Council’s affair.In fact president Brownought to be credited with ex¬cellent planning. It may bethat his speech is somewhatflowery, but he had planned toturn the meeting over to theGirls’ Club at 11:40—and hedid.And what more can we de¬mand of a good president thanto present all necessary busi¬ness clearly and within the timelimits? Duval JarosWhat: Duval Jaros.Where: University of Chicago Four-Year College.When: Present (1939)Why: Influence of graduate uponhis parents.Insertion (I wish my little impa-taients would let me ruin their write¬up my own way): He came here inhis sophomore year.His “Who’s Who”: Now—secretaryof the’ Senior Class, treasurer of theBoys’ Club, President of the Bishi-king Club (Biology Hiking Club).Before—secretary of the Biology Club(11th grade). Junior representativeon the Boys’ Club Board, and was anowho (Last quoted).Most interesting hobby: Baby clinicfor rattle snakes. He was bitten bytreated ones several times, but saysyou can’t feel it—you just see it. Du¬val got this interest from the keeperof reptiles at Brookfield Zoo.Afterwards: He imagines he’ll con¬tinue here in the FYC and that he willstudy medicine.Miscellaneous: He likes science,both natural and physical and is veryproud of being an Eagle Scout.(P.S.: There was then a bull sessionabout rattlesnakes and religion.)SwimmersReady ForHirsch-Dee. 19 Doris WestfallAn important gal on our youngercampus is one Doris W’estfall.

High’s swimming team will haveits first battle of the season withHirsch High School on December 19at 3:30 in Bartlett Pool if present ar¬rangements mature,A tentative lineup has been pre¬pared by Coach McGillivray with thecooperation of other team members.Oli Hallett, captain and No. 1 crawlman, and John Schwartz who hasbeen doing around :2l will probablyswim in the 40 yd. event.Lynch Gronert and Bud Nusbaumwill undoubtedly hook up in the 100yd. breast stroke. The latter has beenhandicapped by a broken wrist, sus¬tained last October and only recom¬menced practice last Monday. “Bun¬ny” Jaffe, veteran distance man, withHerb de Bruyn, as a second man, willswim 220 while Sid Epstein, recentlyof the soccer squad, will have to gunit alone in the 100 yd. back, JimSimmons having dropped out tempo¬rarily.Hallett, Fieler, or Daskal will prob¬ably do the honors in the 100 yd. free¬style, as all men have turned in timesunder 1:08, The former getting down1:02.1 in the event. The Epstein,Gronert, Hallett combination won theSouth Suburban Meet last year andwe’d like to repeat again this year.Bob Robertson will be our lone diverthis year but he’s in good form.

Here in Classics 30, thewood-beamed general reading room,you, the classical student, can find theproper scholastically stilled silenceneeded for studious contemplation. Itswalnut shelves, filled with strikinglyused and scholarly books only hint atthe store of treasures housed in theClassic stacks.Works on ancieqt classical art;Greek and Latin Languages, literatureand related subjects; linguistics orcomparative philology. There are 59,-000 volumes. Since the nucleus of theclassics collection is the formerly pur¬chased library collection, many of thebooks are written in German, French,\\I Italian and ancient works in the orig¬inal tongue. An interesting collectionof engravings and pictures on classicalart is kept in the ancient room. Clas¬sics 36.Classics library was originally theclassical library. From 1892, when theUniversity opened its doors, to 1912its classical books were housed at theNorth end of the second floor of CobbHall.At the completion of the Classicsbuilding the collection was moved tothe 4th floor there. The upper andlower basement of Classics is part ofHarper’s stacks, and the first, second,and third floors have stacks for Clas¬sic Books. The fourth floor containsa museum and, as we well know, somefour year college rooms.A departmental library, it is servedby 2 staff assistants. It serves the de¬partments of Greek, Latin, Linguis¬tics, and the ancient art section of theArt Department. losing by large scores and joined thePrivate School League. As there wa.sno real competition in the PrivateSchool League in respect to track, theinterest is waning in our champion¬ship track team. As for swimming wecould beat all of the private schoolteams without practicing more thanonce a week.Hence, the team as far as the.schools’ interest is concerned is thebasketball team. If any team has notrightfully earned the school’s interestit is the basketball team. To provethis let me submit a few statistics.The basketball team won exactly nogames while in the private schoolleague last year. The year beforehowever, the team, while in the SouthSuburban League won two games. Thetrack team on the other hand won thePrivate School' Meet, the DistrictMeet, beat Bloom and won the ProvisoRelays. The swiming team won thePrivate School Meet. Chicago Christ¬ian and Bowen also won the Medlayrelay in the South Suburban Leaguemeet.Belonging only to the PrivateSchool League just about ruins thesetwo teams. Is it right for the basket¬ball managers and coaches to spoilthese other teams just because theydon’t want to lose by such big scores ?As for the chances of the teams thisyear;The swiming team will clinch thePrivate School meets.The track team will have no troublein the Private School League.The Basketball team thinks it maywin a game or two but the competi¬tion is keener than in track or swim¬ming.All students remember this: Goodteams require support from the stu¬dent body; with it they can performto one hundred per cent efficiency,without it they don’t have the puncha championship team needs!/
