Christmas Carnival in Ida Noyes TonightNo Rides OfferedTo Freshmen—CulpDenies That Sigma Chi iD, A. ConduCtSAlumni Are BuyingFreshmen.“I can definitely say that no rideshave been offered to any freshmen,”said John Culp president of SigmaChi in direct contradiction to the factspresented in the “Inside Story” inWednesday’s Maroon.“Moreover neither A1 Veeder, ‘mil¬lionaire alumnus,' nor the Sigma Chinational council, is helping us withour rushing in any way,” he added.The article in the Maroon claimedthat Veetler and the national organi¬zation were making it possible forSigma Chi to offer easy jobs coveringfull room and board to outstandingfreshmen. Bob Stenbcrg and ChuckBoyd. These “natural leaders,” ac¬cording to the article, would then co¬operate in sewing up other freshmen.In addition to being mi.staken aboutthe main point of the article, Culpsaid that the list of men quoted assewed up was incorrect. He said thathe thought that it was unfortunatethat he had been accu.sed of using thefreshman tutoring to aid his fraterni¬ty rushing, because he has been tryingto keep fraternity politics out of thetutoring system.When' asked about the Inter-Fra¬ternity rulings on promising rides torushees, Culp, who is president ofthe I-F Council said “As far as Iknow there is no rule against offeringany kind of jobs to freshmen.” Hepointed out that practically every fra¬ternity offers freshmen jobs of somesort. Initiation andTryouts TodayToday the Dramatic Associationholds both its annual initiation andtryouts for Chesterton’s “Magic.”The initiation which will be of aspontaneous and surprise nature goesoff at 3:30 in Reynolds’ Club Theatre.Promising something new, a depar¬ture from the usual form, the DA ex¬pects to induct twenty new members.All students who have been in anyDA productions and have paid theirfees for the year are eligible. Accord¬ing to Frederick Linden. DA presi¬dent, the initiation is to intergrate theentire organization. DA is one of thelargest student extracurricular activi¬ties.Tryouts TodayThe tryouts for “Magic,” the nextWorkshop performance, are to be heldat 4:30 in the Reynolds Club Theatre.All students who are interested in act¬ing for the DA are invited to attendthe tryouts. This is the second of thepublic tryouts to be held by the Dra¬matic Association this year.The Workshop has already pro¬duced two plays this year; Odets’“Awake and Sing” find Chekov’s “Un¬cle Vanya.” The Dramatic Associationgave as its fall production “NightMust Fall.” Concert MarksEighth YearOf SymphonyUniversity OrchestraPresents Bach ProgramSunday in Mandel.This week, the eighth anniversaryof the founding of the UniversitySymphony Orchestra, will be fittinglyclimaxed when on Sunday at 8 in Man-del Hall the Orchestra plays Bach’s“Art of the Fugue”.LevarieIn 1931, Carl Bricken, then head ofthe Music department organized thefirst University Symphony Orchestra.Up to that time there had been otherstudent orchestras, but this was thefirst group to have symphonic magni¬tude. The first concert to be given bythe Orchestra on December 15, 1931included on its progi’am Beethoven’s“Coriolan” Overture, Schubert’s“Symphony in B Minor” (Unfinished),Debussy’s “Petite Suite” and Sibelius’“Finlandia”. The orchestra at thattime consisted of about half as manymembers as the present group of 96.Siegmund Levarie is the presentconductor of the orchestra andCharles Buckley assists.Review Current Art ExhibitOf Edmund Giesbert’s WorksBy HERBERT GROSSBERGMr. Giesbert’s paintings have de-scendtMl upon us in a burst of color,color—from the delicate to the bright,the vivid and the brilliant. It flowsover the surface and over the forms,uniting each canvas into a pictorialwhole. It is the overtone of this flowof color that gives the essence of MrGiesbert’s personal communication. Iisuse, however, the color molds theforms, helps create the special illu¬sion illustration and welds the compo¬sition with a shifting yet steadfastbalance.Myriad VariationsThe forms on these canvases arecreate<l by a myriad of tone and colorvariations. This is Cezanne’s gift to(■very artist since his time—the oneman revolution in the world of paint¬ing—which is now common propertyfor the artist, and for the subcon¬scious mind of every seeing person. Inhis blaze of color Mr. Giesbertachieves a solidity and a universalquality which is surprising. For itis the flow of color both subtle andvigorous that makes these paintingsparticularly Mr. Gicsbert’s. It alsointimidates the spectator who looksfor good old fashioned representationin modern art, and doesn’t find it.Yet it is preciisely there that the artistachieves music in paint, as Mr. Gies¬bert has done. And yet he adheresto the forms as fully as does a classi¬cist like Beethoven in the tonal ab¬stractions of music. Let any skepticselect a small area of canvas and en¬joy the subtleties of this pictorialnuance.It was no accident or easy path bywhich Mr. Giesbert achieved this full¬er expression of his pictorial person¬ality. For he has traveled the hardsmooth road of academacism too long,and was also lost in the intellectualdesert of cubistic influence. Thesestumbling blocks are clearly seen inthe well composed trio of female mu¬sicians, which is one of the earlierpictures in the show.No Local ScenesThere is another element which hasbeen bothering Mr. Giesbert, and thatis the current mood to depict theIN ORIGINAL L local scene. He does not seem to havethe knack of fixing the human flavorof a local scene such as the “StreetCar” group, or the “Idling Laborers.”It takes a Daumier for this.In the canvases with the large fig¬ures, however, such as the “MarketWomen” we feel Mr. Giesbert is wait¬ing to burst his limited space. Whilethese large groups are colorful, wellconcieved and beautifully execute<l,it seems to me such decorative poweris calling for large areas as should beutilized in public buildings or in aRockefeller Centre. It seems to me,here is the place Mr. Giesbert wouldachieve largeness in both senses ofthe word. Whether he can penetratehis world from the incisively humanaspect is still problematical however.I would say that this is all that keepsMr. Giesbert from very top flight art.“Dalmation Scene”Where the largeness of conceptionis scaled down to fit the area, we finda more completely successful achieve¬ment. I have in mind the “Dalmatian(Continued on page seven)Charles MerrinmNoiv Stars in MoviesProfessor Charles Merriam, fre¬quent inhabitant of the Executive Of¬fices of the President and chairman ofthe University’s Department of Po¬litical Science, is in the movies.

Five Act Floor ShowHighlights Gala FeteASU ProtestsDean Smith’sTestimonyDirecting his criticism chiefly atthe character of the testimony ofDean Leon P. Smith in Washingtonlast w’eek. Professor Malcolm Sharpspoke yesterday to students and fac¬ulty members attending the Ameri¬can Student Union mass meeting inMandel Hall at noon. The meetingwas called to protest the methods ofthe Dies Committee, and the action ofDean Smith in testifying before it.Smith testified as to the “subversiveand unAmerican” character of theCommunist Club and the AmericanStudent Union on campus, and al¬leged that the latter was under Com¬munist domination. He also turnedover to the committee the names ofCommunist Club members from theofficial files of the University.Sharp particularly objected toSmith’s use and definition of theterms “unAmerican” and “subver¬sive,” and redefined them for his audi¬ence. “To say that any organizationwhich ‘owes allegiance to a foreigngovernment, movement, or person’ isof necessity either unAmerican or jsubversive,” he said, “is to condemn jall international organizations, in-:r eluding a ■ good many; scientific socie^ jties, to say nothing of the Red Cross.” IHe concluded that more scientific(Continued on page seven) ' Towey Plays; Kivlan,Shaw, Clark, Nelson andBenjamin Perform.Precedent setting from its inceptionthe Daily Maroon Christmas Carnivalunfolds itself tonight in Ida Noyes at9.

He discussed “Indiaand the War.”Slim and dark, and sensitive to ev¬ery reaction and question from his au¬dience,' Patel spoke with quiet in-' tensity of his country’s fight for lib¬eration from what former Prime Min¬ister of England Stanley Baldwinonce described as “the divine instru¬ment of providence.”“The British Empire,” said Patel,“has come to be recognized by the In¬dian people as instead an instrumentof exploitation and oppression. After182 years of rule by this ‘divine in¬strument,’ the problems of povertyand illiteracy in India have been ac¬centuated, not relieved.”Patel gave the three demands the Indian National Congress, all ofwhich were refused oi evaded by theBritish government. They wei’e for adefinition of Britain’s war aims, es¬pecially in regard to the rule of col¬onies, and for a declaration of inde¬pendence for the 5,560,000,000 peoplesof the French and British empires, orat least the extension of democraticprivileges to these people until theformer could be achieved.“The Indian people will judge thedemocratic speeches of the rulers ofBritain and France bj their action.s,at home and particularly in the em¬pires which they rule by force. Weare unable to see today any distinc¬tion between German fascism andBritish and French imperialism.”In response to questions followinghis lecture, Patel spoke of the SovietUnion as a country which to the peo¬ple of India, as of all colonial coun¬tries, represented a rising standard ofliving and a leader against imperial-Qf i ism.Mice, MenBut No WomenAt Open Houses' Fraternity men are getting to bemice. With downcast eyes and asheepish voice, Johnny Culp, IF head,told how several members of the IFCommittee broached the idea of hav¬ing, above all things, women at rush¬ing functions.Mice were in the minority, however,and IF Tren decided that any fresh¬man devo iring would be done by themalone and not their clubby little fe-m.ale friends.

Rubins, John Stevens,Hart Wurzburg, Marian Castleman, Ernest LeiserNight Editor: Judy PetersonAmerican SchoolThe large bloc of fraternity boys who wentto the ASU mass-meeting yesterday noon withthe express intention of keeping Red propa¬ganda from being heard left in disgust. Theyhad put in a whole half hour vainly awaitingtheir chance to boo down subversive senti¬ments; they found themselves in the unfortu¬nate position of having nothing more to jeerat than a defense of American democracy.And American democracy, apparently, is nota matter of great concern to them one way oranother.But if these boys were disappointed, othermembers of the University who think it im¬portant that the basis of our government re¬main firm and uncorrupted found the meetingenlightening and valuable. They were glad tohear that the University administration doesnot think any of its .student organizations areworking in a sinister fashion to undermine theAmerican order: they were pleased to listento proofs that the American Student Unionstill cannot possibly be called subversive inany true sense of the word.That it should have been necessary for theASU to hold a special meeting in order to provethese things is no pleasant thought. Red huntsat this campus, we all believed, ended withthe Walgreen affair a few years ago. And cer¬tainly that episode made the hunters look fool¬ish. They would seem even sillier now, withcampus Communists in their present state ofembarrassment and obscurity about theory andfacts.Hunting Reds is not a sport for any self-respecting University to add to its list of extra¬curricular activities. Pursuit of any kind oftruth is impossible when freedom of thoughtand opinion give grounds for persecution. Stu¬dents cannot receive the kind of educationwhich makes them intelligent democratic citi¬zen, nor can they ever hope to understand theworld when their right to discuss it leavesthem open to suspicion. The United States isthe only major world power today sufficientlyunburdened by war and unrest to be able toturn its best energies to higher matters thanmere self defense. It would be indeed a pityif these energies, instead of being used for prog¬ress, were perverted into suspicions of educa¬tional institutions which repre.sent the bestthings in the country.How Dean Smith could have thought hewas acting in the interests of the Universityeither as an educational or a fund-raising in¬stitution is a mystery to the Maroon. It seemsunlikely to us that the Dies committee couldhave believed his charges represented only aper.sonal prejudice. But whatever DeanSmith’s motives were, his accu.sations are un¬founded—there are no subversive or unAmeri-can student organizations on this campus., A democratic spirit is the best guaranteeI that our schools will remain worthy Americaninstitutions. And the children who were un-able to behave themselves at ye.sterday’s meet-,’^’ng should remember that in less tolerant so-' their ill-mannered infantilism would re-f 'omething stronger than moral censure. Traveling BazaarBy LILLIAN LUTERThe Psychopathology ofEveryday ColumnsThere is a motive for every human action. Eventhe lowest kind of human, a Daily Maroon columnist,has motives. Naturally because they’re the lowest formof human, their motives are low. Might I say beneathcontempt ?In the first place, it gives them all a sadistic pleas-ux*e to pick on a girl—they none of them are manenough to say vicious things about males—even littleones—because they want notoriety without the dangerof having their nasty faces SHOVED in.FlorianThe worst motives are those of would-be smoothieFloriiin. Because I once said something nasty abouthis stinky little club-sisters, the Mortar Boards, he de¬cided to get revenge on me. He knows why I wasn’tat the Deke Open House. All right. I know why, too.Because I slapped his stupid face when he asked me.I know why he asked me.B BRumlLittle Stud Ruml is just a half-baked kid trying tobe a big-shot. The only reason that he says nastythings about me is because Florian does and becauseeverything that Florian does is per se correct. I couldsay nasty things about him too, like how' he got hisnick name, but I haven’t his only motive—childishness,so I won’t.HimmelHimmel is supposed to even be below talking about,but at least he insults everyone else too. He’s a pub¬licity seeking little half-wit, and the thing he saidabout me posing as an Austrian countess would causean Austrian countess’ father to put a bullet into his fatlittle tummy. He probably found out that my fatherwas dead before he wrote that stuff.LeiserAlso, I was not jilted by skinny Ernest Leiser at theI-F Ball. The fantastic little tale created by HumpyHimmel was a sort of unsubtle move to soothe thedope’s ego, when I refused to go with him, ever, any¬where. I have always tried to be kind to the unfor¬tunate, but when the unfortunate are so obnoxious, thenit goes against the grain. And the stuff that louseLeiser wrote about me was also to save his face. Askhim why he wanted to take me out?Why Club Girls Are Club Girlsbecause they haven’t the courage to go out and tryand get dates on their own. Because they lack theintestinal fortitude and the physical pulchritude to getmen, they try to join clubs, and slide along on theirreputations. Me, I’ve managed to get to the top withouta club pin on my bosom, and without men clawing at myclub pin.I’ve had more dates with fraternity men since I’vebeen here than any other woman I know, and I can havefun without following the date routine that most of theother girls—and all of the club girls—have to gothrough. I know the routine.People Who Should Be Ashamedare people who have never even met me, and goaround talking about me behind my back. Some ofthem of whom I have heard are Bob Crowe, who isneither the sweet young type nor the strong sexy type,but just a little dog who says that if he ever met me,he’d know how to handle me. He probably would, havinghad experience; ask him about his 15 year old date.Ask him what he did last Tuesday night. I know whatand why!I am Very Flatteredto be leading in the Maroon beauty contest. It is afeeble effort to apologize for insulting me steadily eversince I came here this fall. It is very smart to runDorothy Parker against me. It is obvious that none ofthe bags that go to this school could compete. Not thatI’m good-looking, but if Doris Alt, or Charlotte Rex-strew are, then I’m Miss America, 1940.Chicago Menexcept for three or four exceptions, don’t even de-sei“ve the title. President Hutchins, whom I met at thereception, is the only one who meets the physicalqualifications necessary for real manhood. Dave Martinruns him a poor second, and Jim Anderson, who I’venever met, looks sort of strong and handsome.The only one whose mental qualifications satisfy meis Harmon Schrimmer. He is the only man I’ve metsince I’ve been here, who is not out after one thing andone thing only. I know what that one thing is.ApologiaGenerally I’m not vicious and this is the first columnI ever have written. But I wanted to answer the nastyremarks that the above-mentioned weak-kneed littlebrats made, and to get a column in the Maroon, I under¬stand you have to libel everyone you know. (Ed.

For convenience, fourwho are members of the Maroon staffwere chosen.DONALD CRONSONWithout doubt the fraternity rush¬ing of this year was very ably hand¬led; none the less, there are peoplewho believe that it could be slightlyimproved in forthcoming seasons. Forone thing, fewer evening open housesand more luncheon dates would prob¬ably be appreciated. For one reason,any Freshman would, of course, liketo get all the free lunches he can get;however, besides this, much as weFreshmen love Fraternities, there arca few of us who could very ably dis¬pose of Friday and Sunday nights inother ways.Also, it would help everything a lot.if certain silly rules, such as forbid¬ding rushees to be in fraternity men’scars, were dispensed with.BOB LAWSONFraternity men are wonderful menand there are a lot of them. But even |so, it gets rather boring telling in¬numerable people that you are takingPhy Sci, English Lit, and Humanities.One suggestion I would make is'thatthe fraternities should throw a partyor two in connection with some club(preferably Sigma).The confinement of liquid refresh¬ments to milk. Cokes, and water is al¬so poor. A little beer would pep up therushing functions immeasurably. Adrunk freshman is much more sociablethan a sober one.Having all open houses on the sameevening makes the freshman misssome he would like to attend or elsespend about 30 minutes at each.MARK FISHERThe I-F sponsored open-houses arean excellent idea, but there should notbe more than two or three houses openon any single night, however. Oftenseveral of the houses that a Freshmanwants to visit are open on the samenight, and making conversation, evenwith Fraternity men, can grow bor¬ing.Once the initial series of open-houses have been finished, luncheonsmake better rushing functions becausethey dispense with much of the mobhustle-bustle and give prospectivepledges a better chance to look wherethey intend to leap. Moreover, theydon’t interfere with activities, cur¬ricular and otherwise.R. B. PHILBRICKI have a definite interest in the fra¬ternities and in rushing as it appliesto me. Becau.se of it, I want to knowthe members of the houses I visit andthat goes beyond learning how manymen in it wear C jackets. I doubt ifeven the most naive freshman facedwith a splendid display of letters ismarkedly impressed. If he has ab¬sorbed any Chicago cynicism at all heknows no house has so many they usethem for towels. The C wearers arealways pleasant, but I especially wantto meet the Sophomores, with andwithout numerals. Potent ray of sun¬shine that I am, I don’t want to eatbreakfast with sour-pus.ses evei*ymorning for two school years. Unlessa house is uncertain about the man¬ners of its Sophomore class theymight let them stay up at night andmeet the company.After I have “met the boys,’’ I wantto see the building in which they live,and I wish they would clean the roomsso that I can see them all, big or lit¬tle, pleasant or dank and dark. Andif there is a mortgage on the house Iwould like to know about it, and whilespeaking* of things financial theymight also mention the expenses amember incurs. There are other fac¬tors I, and other freshmen with me,'sider when visiting a fraternity,■>se I have mentioned are the''nes.

The Labor Problems Councilwants this question answered. It isbringing three experts to Social Sci¬ence 122 at 3:30 today to untangle theGuild-Hearst controversy.Some 231 white collar workers onthe Hearst papers claim they ai*e onstrike. They say they went out onstrike for union recognition and jobsecurity one year and three days ago.They further state that the courtsrecognize the strike and that an in¬junction has been granted which en¬joins the management from commit¬ting acts of violence—the first in¬stance of such an injunction in laborhistory.The management claims there is nostrike and that they are 100% union.They also claim that the court recog¬nizes their case and has granted aninjunction which in actuality preventsthe Guild from distributing leaflets.Speakers who will try to explain,and clarify these conflicting points ofview are Harry Wohl of the Guild, EdWoods of the Hearst legal staff, andProfessor George Axtelle of North¬western.REMEMBER HER THISCHRISTMASwithMrs. STEVENSCANDIES63rd & Ellisfrom theSOVIET UNIONART ALiUMS: a c^naction of daluxa art folios, dzr 11“ x l4'/2“,axquisitaly •vrouqht in baautifulcovars, aspacially '^raparad for thaWorld's Fair ichibit.

There once was a littlepirl who was named Honya. NowHonya loved to play out doors withher boy friends and girl friends andnot living in a very civilized country,forests growing all about them, nat¬urally their parents cautioned them tobe careful. Honya took her parents’story right to heart and consequentlytook no chances, for no matter whatshe was told by her parents, they toldher it was best for her and that sheshould obey them without question.So we find the children out playingin the forests and wading in the near¬by brook, when Honya, who loved at¬tention, screamed, “Lookout for thebear!” and ran home. The other child¬ren ran home for the sport for it wasnear dinner time, and Honya came(lashing in yelling, “Mama, Daddy,there is a big bear w’ho wants to catme out there,” and Mama and Daddyscoffing told her to go out to play,Honya turning around, and going out.So the bear ate her up.In Ec.

Although there is adefinite scarcity in some books, muchof the deficit could be made up if stu¬dents observed the library regulationabout taking out and returning books.To combat this difficulty the StudentCouncil has appointed Adele Whit¬aker, and Rodney Jamison to find asolution.Two plans have been suggested, 1)to charge fines for books overdue, 2)to punish those who do not observe li¬brary regulations in regard to books.The final decision has been put offtemporarily to see what turns up. Inthe meantime many of the most fre¬quently I’equested books have beenplaced on closed reserve.To those students who wish to avoidfines and puishment—remember care¬ful observance of rules may makethem unnecessary. YEAR COLLEGE WEEKLYTHE DAILY MAROON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1939 Page FiveBoys’ ClubBoard MeetsThursday at 8Discuss Lack ofHosts, Spring DanceYesterday at 8:00 A.M. the Boy’sClub Board held a short postmortem.The consultants decided that thedance was a success and proceededwith further business.The problem of the joint use ofthe club-room by both high schooland FYC students was discussedsome bitterness,—bitterness becausethe high school owns the club roomand threatens expulsion of the col¬lege students unless their board helpspay expenses, such as magazine sub¬scriptions and repair bills. Therewas no objection to chipping in onthe magazines, but the FYC boardfears that responsibility for allbreakage of furniture will be laid attheir door. However; the FYC boarddoes agree that it should supply hostsfor all active hours, and is attemptingto accomplish this.The topic of the spring dance wasenthusiastically discussed, and judgingfrom its early aspects, it’s going tobe a honey.Lastly, the FYC Boys’ Club Boardheartily endorses the “Three ThinDimes” drive sponsored by the highschool board, and urges all membersof the Junior and Senior classes tocooperate. The money collected will bespent toward giving unfortunatechildren a happy Christmas.Joint DanceForlst-2nd Year Legislators Heartily ApprovePolicies Presented at Rally! Juniors GrantedStudy ExemptionFor *^‘8” AverageThe 11th graders, as suggested atthe beginning of the year, are to begranted study hall privileges. Allthose who have “B” averages on theirquarterly grades will be excused fromall study periods. However, if astudent’s “B” average includes amark lower than “C” the privilegewill not be granted.

The seniorlist will be revised to include all stu¬dents with “C” averages or above. Traditional GloryOf “Theirs Truly”I Yes, the hastily put together Boys’Club dance and political rally was ahit. It was swell. The eleven-piece,four-dollar-per-man, orchestra wasfine. The decorations were unique, theI refreshments wholesome. The speech¬es proved elevating, the atmosphereperfect, and the evening delightful.The event, scheduled for eight-thirty, started promptly at nine.Never was there such an aura aboutthe lovely ladies. The gentlemen-in-arms too, appeared unusually hand¬some. The programs served as pre¬views to the coming attractions.After the sixth dance the party ral¬lied ’round its emblem, Sandy Merri-F. 1). Reifnolds, illustrious orator, merits the applause of '‘his"public. With his moving words he brought forth tremendous emotion¬al acclamation from the common folk at THE Party Rally.The dance that was to be held onFriday, December 8, at 9:00 has beencancelled until sometime after Christ¬mas. It has been decided that a gooddance can not be held for the $25 bud¬geted. Therefore Rodney Jamiesonand Howard Brown have just aboutdecided to pool $20 or $25 apiece andto hold an informal Junior-Seniorswingero \ This dance is not to beconfused A'ith the Junior-Senior Promwhich comes much later in the year.The social committee is skimping onthe informal dance in order to have abetter Prom.G.oiiiicil Plans forChristinas AssemblyAnd Library WorkAt the Student Council meeting ofDecember 1st, a report was made bythe committee which is to investigateways of improving library service.As yet there are no definite sugges¬tions.A committee was appointed by BillKemp to submit plans and suggestionsfor an assembly to be held beforeChristmas vacation.Mr. Derr’s recommendation that theold-type atheletic letter be continuedwas discussed.

And where more am¬ply than at the University of Chicagois one provided with books?A few sample steps must be gonethrough before you can take a bookout, and for convenience we will takeHarper for our illustration.To take books out of the library itis necessary to have a library card,obtainable upon presentation of yourquarterly tuition receipt. Howevereither to get a book for outside orreading room use the procedure is thesame. Having found listed in the cardcatalogue the book you want, you fillout a call slip, print the call numberand volume number in the upper left hand corner including all symbols! beneath. After writing the date, auth¬or, title, and your name and address,place the call slip in the basket atcounter III, and if the book is avail¬able your name will be called fromcounter II, if not the slip with an ex-I planation is returned to counter III.The book may be kept for day use,overnight, or 2 weeks, as you desire.Books, upon return, must be turnedin at counter I and discharged. Aheavy fine is imposed if you return itto the wrong library.There are more than 35 libraries inour University and tens of thousandsof books. They’re all here for you touse if you want them and remember,don’t be afraid to ask; the librarianis eager to help you. The exhibit of Italian paintings nowat the Art Institute offers a grand op¬portunity for study to the HumanityB classes. The exhibit will be openuntil January 9th.Students in the classes are expectedto visit the display and take specialnote of The Birth of Venus by Bot¬ticelli, The Madonna of the Chair byRaphael, and Pope Paul III by Ti¬tian; and the statues: The Wrestlersby Pollaiudo and David by Verrocchio.Parents* Association toBuy Movie EquipmentThe Parents’ Association is makingplans to purchase a motion camei*aand projector.

Discussion of said dance hastaken up almost all the time at re¬cent social committee meetings of theclass of ’40. Wednesday morning JimBlumberg called for reports from thevarious committees.The two main committees on or¬chestra, represented by Bill Bundesonin Nancy Miller’s absence, reportednotfiing definite. However, severaltop-notchers are in the offing whomay be able to “hold a candle” tobrother Dorsey or Krupa. At anyrate (not price) the class of ’40,Alumni, and their friends will enjoydancing in Sunny Gym on December22nd.The theme will probably follow theusual winter motif. Howie Brown,Class Proxy, and Jim Blumberg,chairman of the Social Committee,are really keeping the ball rolling andwhipping things into fine shape.Plans are just beginning to mate¬rialize but it’s safe to say that anearly start and efficient planningshould bring success. A large atten¬dance will certainly make this af¬fair eclipse all those of previousyears. So, seniors, start urging.Refreshments will undoubtedly bethe best a limited budget can afford.Chief chef Brown promises somethingtasty.Remember, Senior and Alumni, De¬cember 22nd is the night to meet allyour old pals up at Sunny Gym.Come one!

HEADLITESSince September attempts bavebeen made to establish an orchestrafor the Four-Year College Therestill is no orchestra and a group ofFYC and University students are de¬nied the privilege of a musical outlet.It was evident from the first thatthe FYC could not maintain a sep¬arate group. There are only abouta dozen players, only five of whomplay string instruments. It was pro¬posed that students of the Two-YearCollege and the University and fac¬ulty members who lack either timeor ability for the already existingUniversity Symphony orchestra be in¬cluded in the new organization.The main difficulty was centeredabout a conductor. Both students andadministration wanted a good leader,a trained musician. The Music I>e-partment could find neither the per¬son or the money.The necessity and advantages of amusical group are obvious: Studentswho play musical instruments needcontinuous orchestral practice fortheir musical development. But alsothe tradition of the grand musicalfestivals of the high school should bemaintained. Over a thousand personscame to these occasions three times ayear. They furthered school spirit asno other program did. Mr. Vail’s meritin putting on the festivals cannot beexaggerated. But should these high¬lights of the school year be abolished,shall that pleasure be taken fromboth performers and listeners? Thereis a great thrill to look forward toand a worthy todition to maintainNot only would the orchestra befertile training grounds for the Uni¬versity Symphony, but does not everywell-ranking school have an orchestra? Does not every recognizedschool have musical activities? Whynot the Four-Year* College, which isone of the most progressive institu¬tions in the country?Letters tothe EditorAgain this year, the Humanitiesstudents have had to rely solely uponlectures for information on the Musicsection of the course. Most of usstruggled patiently through that pro¬cedure last year recognizing the un¬settled conditions re.sulting from thetransition of high school to four-yearcollege. But we see no reason why weshould continue to come to musicclasses every Monday to listen to alecture which, though excellent inwritten form, is most uninformative inthe hasty, mechanical, verbatim read¬ing. We understand that Mr. Vail isTorced to use this procedure for lackof time and that he would very muchprefer to have us read for our ba.sic in¬formation so that in class we mightlisten to records and in other ways ob¬tain the tone and color so abundantin the course. So why not distributeprinted {mimeographed will do)copies of Mr. Vaiis ‘Mectures”. We’drather not wait for syllabuse.s which,probably will not appear until a fevr:weeks before the coraprehensives, un¬less, of course, the attitude toward“cramming” on the part of the facul-as suddenly changed-Kichard .MugaUa]}.

Signed,sealed, and delivered.She says she’s an extrovert and isgoing home to look it up. She hasa complex: bates everything dry.W’hen I asked about dry champagne,she modified it to dry and wrinkled,(prunes, Mummies, and such, no ref¬erence to instructors intended). Herintei'ests are primarily musical (sheplays the piano and helps conduct theUpper Class Glee Club, and sings ex¬tremely well) and artistic (she paintsand takes seulptoring lessons, inwhich she turns out pieces which areso consistently unlike the model thatthe instructors don’t dare take a handin changing them for fear of ruiningthe proportions.) Again we are tak¬ing her word at face value, (which ispretty good we admit). She reads alot and likes anything historical.All in all, Connecticut College forWomen, (or Vassar if she decides togive up part of her chances for mar¬riage) will get a real addition to thestudent body.

These games areto be played on Tuesday and Thurs¬day afternoons at four o’clock and allare invited to attend.The teams were chosen by Eliz¬abeth Yntema, the G.A.A. representa¬tive and Miss Eastburn, faeulty ad¬viser.Dear Editor:It seems to me that this businessof not having an orchestra is a bitsilly. To illustrate this let me sub¬mit a few facts.First of all it would be no expense jto the University to have a “secondstring University Symphony” foitw'o simple reasons: 1. We have a verycapable leader, namely RichardSchindler, hence we would not have tospend any money hiring one, 2. Wehave music over in the High Schoolthat was purchased with High Schoolfunds for the Orchestra (then con¬sisting of mainly juniors and seniors)and which the present High Schoolorchestra can not really play. Bencewe could obtain .some of this type ofmusic which would be satlsfacory forour purposes.Secondly, we have the people toplay the instruments. Most of thesewere in the orchestra last year andothers would be drawn from thosewho are not good enough or thosewho do not have the time to do thepracticing the “Senior” SymphonyOrehestra requires. Alumni BeatHeavyweightTeam, 18-16A swift Alumni team edged out avictory over the basketball squad lastj Wednesday afternoon, 18-16, The de¬cisive score was made in the overtimeperiod when Coffman sank a .suddenba.sket on a high leap.The Alumni got off to a quick start,scoring six points in the first quar¬ter. Until the last quarter the alumnimaintained a four point lead, but thenU. High opened up and at the gun thescore was 16-16. Then came Coffman’sspwtaeular basket which stopped thegame.High point men were Sykes for theAlumni with 8 points and Kemp andSimond of the U. High team with 4points each.The happy alumni team was com¬posed of Reynolds, Monohan, Zahrn,Whipple, Sykes, Evan.s, Coffman, andIjauerman. U. Highers to see actionagain.st the graduates were Millar,Metcalf, Newmark, Brainered, Kemp,Simond, Bundesen, Friedemann, Swin¬dle, Lovegren, Brown, and Flook. 18-9SPORTSCORNERby Bob SchwartzMany students have been askingfor the inside dope on the teams.Hence, I have asked coaches inform¬ally to tell me this information.Coach MacGilHvray for the swim¬ming team: “The swimming teamthis year will have no trouble in thePrivate School League. The team hasnot quite enough members to makeit complete, but the boys are goodfighters and we ought to take all thefirst places and most of the secondsin the meets. We shall ti*y to pick upa few dual meets with our formercompetitors of the South Suburbanleague. We ought to win one or twoof those meets. On the whole wehave a gooil and fairly well balancedteam this year.”t'oaeh Derr—track: “The team thisyear is green and xveak from the lossof many of last year’.s stars. How¬ever, w-e have new- men who withwork will compare favorably. Theteam will win the Private Schoolmeet, but as to how many dual meetsw'e can pick up and win, 1 am notsure.”Ceach Anderson—heavyweight bas¬ketball: ‘T feel the team i? betterthis year than la.st. The boys seemmore inten^tesl and have good abil¬ity. In the game last Friday withHarvaitl they w‘ere ‘flat on their feet’in the first half, but in the secondhalf they showed wmat they coukl do.To me the chances of the team de¬pend on the boys and their spirit.”Coaches Murphy and Murphy (Inc,)—lightweight basketball: “Murphyand Murphy w'ere either mad aboutlast week’s article, were in doubt asto the team’s chance.s, or were afraidto say what they thought. Any waythey had nothing to say. In myopinion I think what Coach Andersonsaid about the htfivies applies equallyto the “ponies,”Note to all interested: If you havesome complaint, correction or opinionyou would like to express, write itdown in short form, slip it into theWeekly’s box or office.

Second HalfAt George Williams Gym last Fri¬day night our basketball teams weredefeated by Harvard, The lightweightslost by 18-9 and the Heavies by 41-14.However, the games were for practiceonly and do not eoant on our leaguerecord. Coaches Murphy’s and Ander.son used almoat everyone on the team,in order to test the abilities of thedifferent boys. Harvard’s lights, inthe first quarter, got a total of thrrepoints while we got none. In the sre-ond quarter they chalked up anothersix points and again we went score¬less. The passing was bad in the firsthalf but improved in the second andin the thiiil quarter we made fourpoints -while they made none. In thela.st quarter bow-tver Harvard gotnine more points to our five makingthe final score 18-9,The heavies spotteii Harvard 26points in the first half; eleven in thefirst quarter and fifteen in the second.We scorefi none in that half. Our play¬ing was very bad as opposed to theexcellent players of the Harvard men.Our passing attaefes were very in¬efficient. In the second half we gotfourteen points to their fifteen. Threepoints to their fourteen in the thirdquarter, and In the fourth quartevthey got only one while we got eleven.The teams have had hardly twowet-k’s practice so far and are ex¬pected to improve as the season pro¬gresses.Iiitraiiiiiral FootballCompleted; TrackAnd BaHkc^thali INrxtThirdly, we have the spirit it re¬quires to have a successful orchestraas exhibited by the performances lastyear.Also in ray opinion it would bevery beneficial to have an orchestranot only because of the benefit itgives the individuals composing it butfor the spirit it gives the school andthe reputation it gives the school asa whole.Cordially yours.Bob Schwartz.

Phillips iii the current is¬sue of the Journal of Business, pub¬lished by the University School ofBusiness.N. Y. SupermarketsThe article reported the results ofa survey of supermarkets in Syracuseand Utica, N. Y., by Professor Phil¬lips, assistant professor of Economicsat Cornell university. Independentsupermarket prices, Professor Phillipsfound, are from 5 to 10 per cent hip:h-t'r than old-line chain supermarkets,while newer chains’ supermarkets aremore than 4 per cent higher.The survey was based on prices ofthe eiphty-four items used by the)rovernment Bureau of Labor Statis¬tics in its own retail price index. Theitems surveyed included cereals andbakery products, meats, dairy prod¬ucts, fruits and veffetables,hcverap:e and chocolate, fats and oils,and supar and sweets.I,<»wer Prices“The price advantage of the chain,”F'rofessor Philips said, “is spread overmany items. It is not concentrated, asis often charged, on a few loaders.Old line chain supermarket prices,” headded, “were lower on nearly 70 percent of the items in the study.Smaller self-service stores beint?opened by the old-line chains, accord-injr to Professor Phillips, show priceson a par with the old-line chains’ su¬permarkets. Reprular stores run by theold-line chains, he said, are undersoldby their own supermarkets and com¬bination stores, but they are virtuallyon a par in prices with independentsupermarkets and supermarketchains.4SU-(Continued from page one)methods on the part if both investi¬gators and witnesses would result inmore accurate presentation of evi-il<*nce.In a spirited defense of the ASU,•Adele Bo.se, once chairman of the or¬ganization an<l a pre.sent executivecommittee member remarked thatI'ean Smith, “despite his willinfrnessto testify concerninp: the organization,has apparently not been interestedenough in it during the past threeyears to look very carefully into itsprogram and its records.” She saidthat, besides the two Communist Clubmembers on the present executivecommittee, three others had shownthem.selves in sympathy with them onmany points, and that the other 12ha<i manifested definite opposition tothem.

I Students Perform ExperimentsIn Physics Lab In RyersonThe physics laboratory atop Ryer-son Hall should prove a source ofsome amusement and much amaze¬ment to students of physical science.Here, besides being able to play withmany fascinating gadgets, the studentwill be able to clear up for himselfmany of the problems encountered inthe study of physics. More ambitiousstudents may even perform certainexperiments for themselves, and inthe past certain students have evengone so far as to determine experi¬mentally the charge on an electron.Simple AxiomUpon entering one, first thing to bonoticed are experiments to prove therather simple axiom that force mustbe exerted on an inert object to put itia motion; however, by the time thathe has finished his tour of the lab hewill be confronted with much morecomplicated principles and experi¬ments; in fact, he will even collidewith some of the problems which arenow mystifying even the most emi¬nent of scientists.The amusement part of the labcomes in right off the bat. Near theentrance is a charming little machinewhich will test the strength of any¬thing from a weak woman to a strongdraught horse. Farther on, the tour¬ing student can play with a “SandyAndy” like those which he onceplayed with at the beach, and whichhe now will employ to determine re¬sultants of forces. Further on, in that I part of the lab which is devoted to ex-! periments on the subect of light, heI may stand before a mirror which willreally allow him to “see himself asothers see him”.Amazement, AmusementThe amazement part will be con¬tributed in large doses. Some of itwill be coupled with amusement, asfor instance in one exhibit where onecan have the very elements at his con¬trol, making all the fog and lighten¬ing that he care to make. In othercases it will be pure amazement andnothing else when, for instance, thestudent may see demonstrations con¬cerning cosmic rays, problem childrenof the physical world. The lab has aneye to the future also, containing anew fluorescent lamp which, in theopinion of Chicago’s famed Dr. Lem¬on, will completely I'eplace the presenttype of electric lamp.Aliusky Speaks to SSAAt the first meeting of the SocialProblems Committee of the SSA, SaulD.

The Naperville team isheaded by five returning lettermenwho are expected to bolster the threesophomores in the North Centralstarting lineup.Early indications point to a fine de¬fensive combination for the invaders,but a weakness on effensive. As yetthe North Central lineup is not defi¬nite; Coach Len Bieber is waiting un¬til after the Concordia game tonightbefore making his final decision.In the Maroon camp. Coach NelsNorgren was “quite heartened” by histeam’s performance against ChicagoTeachers Wednesday night. “Thegame showed,” explained Norgren, that our passing was a little sloppy,that our guards do not come up fastenough on offense, and that we don’tdrive hard enough when we have theball.“All of these faults,” he continued,“are common in the first game of anyseason; so generally speaking, theteam’s performance was quite en¬couraging.”Norgren is forced to rely for themost part on sophomores for reseiwes,and he felt that several of these firstyear men were just plain scared intheir cage debut. One notable excep¬tion, however, was diminutive PaulZimmerman, who played like a veter¬an all the time he was in there.Barring a sudden lineup shift, theMaroons will enter the North Centralgame with the same combination thatstarted against Chicago TeachersWednesday. Stampf and Stanley willhold down the forward berths, Louns-bury will play the pivot spot, andRihcardson and Jorgenson are slated ito round out the lineup at guards. | Wilkens^ Ross MeetIn Ping-Ponp; FinalPre-tournament rankings in theReynolds Club ping-pong tournamentproved sound when Wilkins and Ross,seeded one and two, won the i*ight tocompete places in the finals. Wilkinsgained his position by defeating Mc¬Neil, seeded seventh, in the semi-finalswhile Ross was conquering Green,number four man. The final matchbetween Wilkins and Ross is still tobe played. Bartman won over Michto take the consolation prize.BIG TEN MEETINGContrary to metropolitan newspaperreports, it is doubtful whether Chi¬cago’s proposal to change its eligibil¬ity rules will be discussed at the BigTen Conference meeting now beingheld in Chicago. The plan asked per¬mission for the University to use allstudents above the freshman level,whether they be undergraduates orgraduates, providing that they had notyet had three years of intercollegiatecompetition.According to T. Nelson Metcalf, di¬rector of athletics, the matter will bediscussed only if all other business hasbeen completed before the conclusionof the three-day meeting.
