A Dean’s office re¬lease, after an investipration, reveale 1that foul play is suspected.The life history of Miss Luter isthe story of woman’s triumph overher inner soul. For the readers of theDaily Maroon, a brief story of her lifeappears here.I^ygmalion HimmelIt all started when I bejjan to pretmild rebuffs (i.e. duckings, threats,etc.) because of my remarks on cam¬pus conditions and cuties in the Trav¬eling Bazaar. I had to choose betweenprostituting my art for the sake ofmy chastity and safety, or creating anon-existant woman to be the hutt ofmy scathing remarks. I chose LillianLuter.On an angry public I more or lesssurreptiously sprung my super-ego,Lillian Luter. I mentioned her casual¬ly among a list of beauty queens andfrom then on I let my baser .soul runfull force on the o<lious Miss Luter.By this time I had the Board of Con¬trol in on my Galatea and I went tobed every night expecting to wake upPygmalion Himmel. But no! Luter gotodiouser and odiouser and 1 could notbring myself to love her.C<»nspiratorsInto my little secret I initiated co¬horts Leiser, Crow, Florian, and Ruml,who promist'd to help me along withLil. Crow, Ruml, and Florian werefine. They had all the club girls wor¬ried that she was on their rushinglists.Things soon got plenty hot. Com¬ments, praises, gripes poured into theMaroon Office about La Luter. No onecould find her. Why? Because Lil wasnot registered at the University; be¬sides Lil worked at some joint, isFlorian and Ruml suggested, near astarch factory.Luter RevengeLast Friday, Miss Luter got her re¬venge. By osmosis and Ernest Leisershe wrote a column for the Maroonand ripped us little columnists up anddown and sideways until we lost allour glamour. Controversy grew hot.The cry of the multitude was “produceLuter’’ I knew I could reproduce Lut¬er, but producing her would be a neattrick.Armed with John Sanderson andhis camera, a couple of Psi U’s andErnest Lei.ser, the hunt started to findLillian Luter, my dream woman. Al¬ready campus correspondents hadturned in stories to their newspapers,on the Maroon’s new vitriolic colum¬Mirror BoardHolds ChorusTryouts TodayChorus tryouts for Mirror, annualwomen’s musical show, are to be heldtoday and Thursday, at 4 in MandelHall, and the contestants judged bythe assorted BMOC’s of Owl andSerpent.

Those interested are askedto consult William Randall in theTower Room for further details.Music for last year’s show, whichwas one of the biggest successes inseveral years, was written for themost part by crack piano team, Reck-er and Farewell. They composed mostof the music for the chorus routines.Speciality song writers included DApresident Bud Linden, who wTote, “I’mNo Good Without You’’, which Mar¬gery Grey sang.

Carlsonpermanent basisSettlementOpens ClothesDriveThursdayUniversity Symphony GivesDistinetive 'Bach Program ~By GEORGE T. PECKA boring evening it was last Sun-1 400,day night in Mandel for those who do "not enjoy Bach, but fer the others, theUniversity Symphony Orchestra, con¬ducted by Siegmund Levarie, acquitteditself with distinction in the presenceof both Chicago Symphony conductorsand a good section of the school’s un¬dergraduates.The first performance of the or¬chestral arrangement of The Art ofThe P^ugue is Chicago went offsmoothly, and in some sections, bril¬liantly. Especially notable was thefugue played by the woodwinds. Gil¬man Chase on the four organ fugueswas competent, but the subdued andcomplicated character of the musicmade it most difficult to follow. Afterthis came a subtle and tortuous con-trapunctus in which the organ wasbeautifully supplemented by the fluteof Wasley Krogdahl and the ’cello ofElmer Tolsted.Perhaps the most impressive piecesof the evening were the finale andthe added chorale. Many of the con¬trapuntal variations shown in the pre¬vious 18 fugues were included in thislast, and the brasses, who had been abit rough, performed their duty well.Gordon Newton on the alto trombonedid some ticklish solo work. It maybe personal idiosyncrasy, but the end¬ing of this monumental woi’k, with asingle note fading away as thoughBach had let his hand drop from thepage after a long and busy life, andthe subsequent celestial chorale seem¬ed to be a sort of unplanned “Deathand Transfiguration,’’ so noble as torelegate Strauss’s ditto to the bur¬lesque halls. Maroon DanceShows InnovationsRoiiiicl Table WinsNewspaper PollChicago’s Round Table has againwon a high recognition for its weeklySunday program. The broadcast wasjudged first among educational pro¬grams in the Cleveland Plain Dealer’spoll of radio listeners. In recognitionof its distinctive education programthe Round Table received a statuetteof a buxom songster, clothed in aclinging red dress, holding a silvermicrophone in her hand. The trophyis being kept in the office of the broad¬casting council. Counting Owl and Serpent boys anda few other “rides’’ over 400 peopleattended the Daily Maroon Carnivalheld last Friday night. Dancers, dartthrowei’s, and Bazaar readers foundthat new lights lowered to within tenfeet of the floor, found spotlightsshining on a band platform, found (aspromised) a great newspaper behindChuck Towey’s orchestra.The Carnival was an attempt by'The Daily Maroon ro demonstrate tocampus organizations that low priceddances, offering novelty attractions,and well publicized, will prove profita¬ble. Facilities of Ida Noyes were ex¬ploited—though not as much as theymight have been; the Maroon foundthat members of the Ida Noyes andBuildings and Grounds staff to be mostcooperative.Miss New, Cloister Corner manager,worked for three weeks on her decora¬tions for the dance, B and G electri¬cians and engineers spent all Fridayafternoon helping to erect the giantpaper.Prices were 30 cents for stags, 50cents for couples. Over 90 dollars wastaken in at the door—there being noadvance ticket sale. The expenditurefor the dance will be about 70 dollars.Profits will go for various philanthro¬pic enterprises sponsored by the Ma¬roon staff.PLOT BACKFIRESCap and Gown’s Jack Thompsonis a very clever boy. He was evenclever enough to whip up a schemeto get a picture of Mr. Hutchins,husband of a famous artist. Thomp¬son’s plot was to lie in wait in thecorridor outside of Hutchin’s officeand snap him when he came in.Cap and Gown's Pat Schrack isalso clever. She saw Thompson andguessed what was up. Carefullyshe explained to him that he’dnever get a picture of the famousrecluse from his present position.With Pat as a decoy a new planwas set. All went well until thecamera backfired and Thompsongot a picture of Pat Schrack. “More than ever, it’s necessary thatthe clothes drive go ove’ this year”,stated Marge Kuh, Chairman of Stu¬dent Settlement Boai’d, speaking yes¬terday of the annual campus cam¬paign for old clothes her organizationputs on Thursday,“Relief has been cut from many ofthese families down in the settlement.At least in past years they have had afederal straw to cling to during thewinter months. But now conditions ar»so bad blocks of families have beenevicted from their homes,” she added.Need is Great“They have difficulty in buying food.As for their buying clothes, it’s fi¬nancially unthinkable. The settlementhouse itself can’t possibly meet boththe problem of supplying clothes andfood.” Miss Kuh continued and saidonly the mild weather of the lastmonths has kept the habitants be¬hind the stock yai'ds from sufferingacutely.In outlining the schedule to be fol¬lowed, she said boxes have beenplaced in both the women’s and men’sdorms. Contributions may be droppedin these at any time up to Thursday.Fraternity DriveMembers of the board will circulatethroughout the various fraternityhouses Thursday at noon. Notices willbe sent out immediately informing themen of the coming drive.Re-emphasizing the importance ofsuccess. Miss Kuh pleaded for gar¬ments in any condition, nothing wouldbe too bad.Last year returns from the drivefilled a truck. She hopes to double thisamount this year.Ida Noyes SetsParty DeadlineTonight at seven is the deadline forreservations for the Christmas lunch¬eon sponsored by the Ida NoyesCouncil in the Cloisters Club Friday.Tables have been reserved by manylarge groups, including the Quads; agroup from Graduate Education; andone of workers in the registrar’s of¬fice.Although the cafeteria will be openfor regular service during the noonhour on Friday, those at tables willbe given a special thirty-five centluncheon consisting of turkey or tunafish a la king on noodles, cranberrysalad, bread and butter, plum puddingand coffee. Besides a Christmas tree,wreaths and other suitable holidaydecorations, spirit will be added to theoccasion by the music of the MackEvans Chapel Singers who will enter¬tain from 12:30 until 1.Reservations should be made in themain office of Ida Noyes or by callinglocal 1071. Clara Abbott Endow¬ment, Rockefeller FundAid Biological Service.A gift of about $1,000,000 from Al¬fred W, Bays and H. B Shattuck,trustees for the estate of Clara A.Abbott is now available. This insuresthe receipt of a $1,500,000 from theRockefeller Foundation according tothe terms of a grant made in 1928which was contingent upon the receiptof an additional $500,000 for researchin Biological Sciences.Annual grants hav? been made bythe Rockefeller foundation since 1929in support of research in the Biolog¬ical Sciences which are fundamentalto the advancement of medicine andsurgery. Doctor Anton J. Carlson said,“these grants in depression timeshave provided a tremendous aid with¬out which we couldn’t have our entireprogram, and now this will be on apermanent basis.”Name BuildingWhen asked to comment upon thenaming of the Physiology Building,The Abbott Memorial Building, Carl¬son replied that he had hoped that itwould have been named for someonewho had made significant contribu¬tions to the field of Biological Sci¬ences, but that it was no discredit tohave the building named after a highgrade physician whose interest in re¬search was vouchafed for by the be¬quest.Mrs. Abbott’s estate which was es¬timated at $800,000 at the time of herdeath in 1928 has increased to ap¬proximately ten times its originalsize. Her husband Dr. Abbott was thefounder of the Abbott Laboratoriesin North Chicago which still bear hisname. The bequest was the result ofan established trust which was to bedistributed this year for the benefit ofmedical, chemical, or surgical science.Memorial FundSince the announcement of the con¬ditional bequest which was made bythe Rockefeller Foundation becausethe research program of the Univer¬sity “has so clearly demonstrated itsQuality that the stabilization of Foun¬dation support seems wise”, ther^ havebeen annual grants of $60,000 for Bi¬ological Research. These were to havecontinued until 1941 at which date theother $500,000 had to be secured. Halfof the Abbott Fund provides a fundof $200,000,000, which will provide anincome in excess of the original grant.This fund will be established as “TheAbbott Memorial Fund.”^Vanya RepeatsTomorrowAfter Sell-OutBecause of a sell-out Thursdaynight, the DA Workshop will presenta repeat performance of “Uncle Van¬ya” tomorrow nighi; at 8:30 in theReynolds Club Theatre.This is the second workshop show tohave a repeat performance by populardemand.

Auspices can be either Com¬munist Club or Daily Maroon. Student Forummay also sponsor.You name the time and place. But youmust either alter your stand or debate. Other¬wise it will seem rather sour.Jim PetersonTo Whom It May ConcernA challenge either to debate publicly anopinion expressed in this column or else bebranded tc the entire campus as cowardly andunfair has recently been hurled at the Marooneditorial writer. Surprised at this invitation,the editorial writer, whose experience in pub¬lic speakihg is^ non-existent, declined. Shethought she had stated her position clearlyenough already in an editorial last week en¬titled “Divorce Ahead?” Neither she nor therest of the Board of Control can see anythingcowardly or unfair In asking those who dis¬agree with her to present their argumentsthrough the usual Bull Session or Letters tothe Editor Columns.• Nobody at this University can possibly beso naive as to think that the opinions expressedin this column present revelations from theindisputable Source of all Truth; and that theseopinions must either be accepted, or they willbe enforced by an iron hand which is everready to crush the blood, the life, and the soulout of any wouid-be dissenters. Maroon edi¬torials represent the opinion of the Board ofControl: Board of Control opinions is decidedby a majority of three. Whether or not theopinions expres.sed have any validity should bejudged by the truth and validity of the argu¬ments presented. If people reject our opinionsand disagree with our arguments they alwayshave the recourse of telling us about it in ourown newspaper. They can take the samechances of having their opinions read that theeditorial writer takes.A newspaper is not an oral debating society.Its business is to report events as accuratelyas jwssible in its news columns; to give opinionsin its editorial columns. Board of Controlmembers admit f rankly that they have neitherthe time nor the inclination to argue on a pub¬lic platform about the aeronautics course withDean Works; to debate the importance of foot¬ball to a university with the boys on the team;to discuss class organization with the freshmancouncil: nor do they see that they nave anymoral obligation to do so. They do not expectDick Himmel to conduct public symposiumsabout ethics and feminine virtue.The editorial which stirred up all this ex¬citement charged that campus Communists arefinding it difficult to continue being convinc¬ingly loyal to Soviet Russia and offered the in¬vasion of Finland as a case in point. If, how¬ever, the Communists are still proud of Russia;if they think they can prove that Russia is wag¬ing war solely to defend herself from Finland--that her motives are free from the taint ofii.il>erialism and utterly divorced from even thethought of world revolution ; then certainly theCommunists’ arguments will be both sufficient¬ly ingenious and interesting to merit publica¬tion in the Maroon. But let the Communists becareful what accusations they throw at thislaper; they are opening themselves to theHarge of liberal-baiting.

Maude HutchinsHolds FirstPaint ExhibitBy HERBERT GROSSBERGMaude Hutchins, the sculptress, hasbroken out in a rash of paint. At theQuest Galleries you may see what shehas done since acquiring a new medi¬um about a year ago.One thing that must be said forMaud is that she remembers her pub¬lic. She wants your attention andgets it, even if it takes a neat bat onthe head. Large areas of background,a bright yellow, blue-green or red-yellow come at you, socko. Heads arerendered in muti colored patcheslike a rare species of small pox. Theflesh of the nude is built in slabs ofpaint but for color sticks fairly closeto little old Eve’s original flesh tint.No, this is not a “Sanity in Art” re¬view by a critic of one of our leadingmorning dailies, merely an explana¬tion of a bold technique.It may be too simple an explanationbut the artist’s habit of modellingheads in clay would be the answer tohow she got that way. For it iscurious that the backgrounds are flatsimple patterns, bright in color, whilethe figures are modeled in paint withmuch of the thumbprint feeling ofclay.Rut it is obvious, on reflection, thatthe background of a sculptor’s workis either air, or the flat wall—thework itself being of necessity threedimensional. Now it seems to me thatMrs. Hutchins has translated thisquite exactly into paint on a two di¬mensional surface. We feel the hu¬man forms are comfortably sculptural,while the backgrounds are decorativeand pure pattern.This combination is effectively car¬ried out in the rather large canvaswhere we have a nude girl lolling ona bed. The bedroom is done in brightand colorful pattern while the nude,as before stated, is definitely threedimensional.Mrs. Hutchins is also clever aboutcomposition. Note especially theyoung female nude on a red kitchenchair. The chair rests on a hooked rug,but the rug is spread out without per¬spective and fills up a good part ofthe bright yellow background. Theforms are also cleverly placed. Al¬ways a surprise.Where restraint is imposed, as inthe head with a blue-green back-Luter—(Continued from page onechorine.
