RUBINS jBecause the publications are inde-])cndently owned at this universitythere is less censorship than at manyother schools. Yet the Maroon andPulse are supposed to live up to cer¬tain standards which the editors knowabout in a rather unofficial way. If a 'publication is continually offensive topood taste or to the publicity depart¬ment, the University can withdrawthe use of the office in Lexinpton Hall;it can tighten up on loans to the edi¬tors; it can prevent a certain amountof advertising.We know what to write and whatnot to write. Sometimes the other peo¬ple do not. For example Pulse made abip mistake when it said somethinpabout the athletic debt, for when thismaterial was seen in downtown papersthe sentence was ordered to beblacked out. Leiser said thinps he jshould not have said in the Luter col- ilimn, thinps which were not judped inpood taste. Himmel displeased univer¬sity officials when he insulted pretty Ilittle club pirls. IUniversity publications should not jdare to disclose such thinps as rape,robbery and murder unless thesethinps are described as events far in jthe past. Such thinps are supposed to jmake little pirls and boys afraid to jcome to the University. jAny type of publicity which makes Ithe University appear radical in the jeyes of the alumni is actively discour- japed. Such thinps would inhibit the |flow of endowments. Sex stories are |taboo for downtown papers would ^then call the University “a hot bed of ^free love”. jThe University would rather havethe student body appear as a perfectcombination of scholarliness andwholesome fraternity fun, would pre¬fer that any pews about radicalism,unadjusted people or sex be ipnored.The faculty must appear respectableand above discussion or criticism. Choral Speakers Recite OldTestament Pieces, Xmas StoryGreek Dramatic Form toHave Revival Today.Choral speaking, Integral part ofthe Greek drama, oldest form of voiceexpression, will have a revival todayat noon in Bond Chapel when Pro¬fessor David Edward's choral speak¬ing class gives a recitation. The pro^gram will consist of three Old Testa¬ment pieces, three short modernpoems, and a group of selections, oldand new, telling the “ChristmasStory.”Voice choirs have been paining inpopularity in many parts of theworld. John Masefield, poet laureate ofEngland, has been a leader in thismovement. The mass chant, “Ameri¬ca, America” jiresented two years agoby the ASU Theatre group firstbrought a voice choir to the Univer¬sity, but the j)ossibilities of theme<iium will be more fully demon¬strated in today”s program.The pieces of Old Testament proph¬esy and poetry will open the pro¬gram. They are Micah 6:6-8, Psalms46 and 23. Three types of modernpoetry—“Man with the Hoe” by Ed¬win Markham, “The Eagle that isForgitten” by Vachel Lindsay, and“Lord of My Heart’s Elation” byBliss Carmen—will be next on theprogram. The “Christmas Story”will be told with a variety of selec¬tions, beginning with Luke 2:1-20.“Gates and Doors” by Jocye Kilmer,“Carol: New Style” by Stephen Vin¬cent Benet, and “Christmas AfterWar” by Katherine Lee Bates willpre.sent the story, and it will closewith the “Nos Galan,” a traditionalEnglish piece. The program will closewith a benediction by the choir.The choir which will present thechapel program will be composed of14 jieople, one less than the tradi¬tional Greek model. Mr. Edwardsstressed that the group was unchosen,consisting of the entire class. No OxfordOath For MeSays MerriamBy BILL HANKLA“What have we to do with bruteforce? Some say: Let us take theOxford Oath and turn the othercheek. Not for me,” says ProfessorCharles E. Merriam in his new book,“Prologue to Politics.” “Perhaps themost peaceful person in the woidd, Ifind myself from time to time en¬gaged in controversy—obliged to de¬fend myself in youth, to defend mycountry in war, to defend myself inpolitics, to defend my university’sfreedom of inquiry.”Tough-mindDr. Merriam’s book is a tough-minded, matter of fact, almostMachiavellian, treatise on politics andviolence which treats in order the or¬ganization of violence and consent,the ideal state and the task of politics.Mixing in a bit of psychology, politi¬cal science, history, technology, andI)ractical philosophy. Dr. Merriamattempts to rationalize violence andthe science of marshalling the massconsent which gives governments thepower to act.None-the-less it is clear that Mr.Merriam in his small book wants tofind the compromise that lies betweenthe doctrine that might makes rightand the doctrine that force has noplace in human association.His use of the word “violence,” ashe states, is “with reference to physi¬cal force in its raw forms. The lash,the jiri.son, the sword...” In dealingwith violence he recognizes three dif¬ferent aspects of the problem: theorganization of violence in relationto (1) control of crime; (2) the con¬trol of dissident groups on the edgeof legality; and (3) the militaryform. Settlement Board HoldsAnnual Clothes DriveNation^s Youth AskInformation onMarriage jThere is a growing demandamong the nation’s youth for moreinformation about getting along inmarriage. Dr. Ernest W. Burgess,professor of sociology, said in a lec¬ture at the Art Institute last night.Professor Burgess spoke on “Ap¬plying Scientific Knowledge toPreparation for Marriage,” theconcluding lecture in a series,given under the auspices of theUniversity College.“Young people who are deeply inlove probably will not heed thewarning that they are not tempera¬mentally suited,” Professor Bur¬gess said.“This does not mean that suchadvice is useless. What actuallyhappens is that the young man and .woman go into marriage with therealization that they must over¬come the difficulties to succeed inmarriage. In many cases, they do.”Elect DelegatesTo NationalASU ConventionAt its last meeting of the quarterthe American Student Union elected13 delegates to the national conven¬tion to be held in Madison, Wisconsin,from December 26 to December 30.Delegates chosen are Hugh Weston,Sid Lipshires, chairman of the union,Alan Philbrick, George H a 1 c r o w,Wayne Barker, Aida Handler, EdithWitt, Edward Fizdale, AlexanderHandle, Ruth Brandstetter, Judy Pe¬terson, Alec Moran, and Harris Spre-cher.Discuss War Canvasses Dormitories,Fraternities for Dis¬cards.Depending upon campus benefi¬cence, the Student Settlement Boardcanvasses the dorms and fraternityhouses today for old clothers in theirannual drive for the children of thesettlement.Headed by Marjorie Kuh, membersof the Board will circulate throughthe fraternities at noon today to pickup donations. The women’s and men’sdorms will be culled later in the after¬noon.Relief CutWith the cold weather definitelysettled on Chicago and the reliefstipend cut, the families of the stock-yard district look more than ever to¬ward the results of the student so¬cial workers hereabouts, said MissKuh.Based on actual need, the returnsthis year should more than double thetruckload garnered last.The Board’s head stressed the pointthat any garment, regardless of con¬dition would be welcome. She said theSettlement League, a group made upof faculty wives interested in socialwork, would repair what was neces¬sary.General DiscardWith the quarter closing and stu¬dents preparing for home. Miss Kuhexpects to capitalize on the generaldiscard that takes place in the fra¬ternity houses and especially thedorms.Boxes placed in dorm offices haveproduced a meagre yield to date. But,as was indicated, such a condition isto be expected. The bulk of the gar¬ments flow in at the last moment,when the matter is put up to the in¬dividuals themselves.Publication bugabos of the campusare the campus correspondents of thedowntown papers. With the exceptionof “Scooped” Jefferson of the Tribunethe campus correspondents find theirbiggest stories along the sex or scan¬dal lines. Last year a group of peo¬ple interested in organizing a coursein mental hygiene, extracurricular innature, were partially stopped by thefact that any such course would in¬vite huge spreads of a sensational na¬ture by the downtown papers. In1937-38 Chapel Union and severalother groups sponsored a series ofmarriage lectures and were beseigedby campus correspondents and pho¬tographers who shot a big sex sto’’yto their papers.The University itself effects goodpublicity by running its press rela¬tions department. No Ivy Lees, thepublicity office boys give all their sto¬ries a definite slant in terms of gain¬ing respectable public opinion.So far the best publicity the Univer¬sity has gained has come through theSunday Roundtable, Hutchins’ articlesin the Saturday Evening Post. If cam¬pus publications do not keep in linethey can offset this valuable work.New Art (aIuI) HoldsFirst LiiiiclieoiiThe newly founded University ArtClub held its first social function yes¬terday afternoon in Good Speed Hall.The tea was held in the gallery of theArt department which now is exhibit¬ing the pictures of Professor EdmundGiesbert. All students in universityart classes and members pf the Hu¬manities faculty were guests.Officers for the year are John Car-lander, president; Marjorie Patterson,secretary and Millard Rogers, vice-president. In the future the club plansto sponsor bi-monthly teas, speciallectures on art, the promotion of spe¬cial art exhibits, and modern artmovies. Any University student in¬terested in art is eligible for member¬ship. Hold Last TryoutsFor Mirror ChorusToday in MandelI.a.st tryouts for the Mirror chorOswill be held today in Mandel Hallat 4.

Ona relatively normal Tuesday theythey found 746 cars parked betweenDorchester and Cottage Grove. Be¬tween 8 and 4:30 they noted 471 traf¬fic violations including 336 cases ofi illegal parking, 80 speeders, and 55red lights violators.The B and G men maintain that thetraffic rules on campus are not intend¬ed to be merely a nuisance to studentsbut are formed with the intention of1 preventing accidents. Reason Greatest ForceMr. Merriam seems to feel that thegreatest force is reason, made obviousby the fact that the technology ofmodern warfare is the product of thehighest intelligence. But there is noreason for handing over these fruitsof intelligence to the gorilla andbandit. He says “those who spit inreason’s face must reach for the gunsand explosives that reason made, hop¬ing that the irrational use of reasonwill waft them to the skies. Well,we, too, can will; we, too, can act;we, too, can endure; we, too, cantrust, obey, and fight, but in the lightof reason and in the spirit of goodwill.” Other business included the passageof a motion suggested by the district,and the tabling of a motion posed byJackson McLow. The first motion,which was passed after two hours ofdiscussion, stated that the war be¬tween the Allies and Germany is “...an imperialist war.”McLow’s motion was to condemnRussia’s invati <n of Finland. This mo¬tion was tabled, however, on thegrounds that the members of the ASUdid not know enough about the ques¬tion to vote on it.The meeting, which was held in Ro-senwald 2, was a pre-convention meet¬ing to determine the policy to be fol¬lowed at the sessions in Madison.Hutchinson Outlines Background,Problems of Nineteenth Century LawJudges that made rapid-fire deci¬sions and patchwork legal codes werea part of the American frontier, whichProfessor Hutchinson described yes¬terday in his Law Series lecture.Speaking on the Relation of Law toNineteenth-Century America, he toldof the legal problems posed by thesettlement of the Middle West.Inadequate TrainingThese problems were caused in part,he .said, by the inadequate legal train¬ing available before and for a fewAppoint New MembersTo Reynolds CouncilNewly appointed members of theReynolds Club Council, the function ofwhich is to supervise men’s activitiesin the club are, Clyde W. Moonie, JackN. Crane, Robert Cummins, DouglasFeuroman, Alfred Gentzler, JackBrown, Marshall Blumenthal, andHarold Staffee. John Dunkel, who wasappointed to the Council in October,has been elevated to the Central Com¬mittee, which is an executive branchof the Council. During the past fev/meetings, the Council has been makingpreparations for five basketball dancesto be held in the Winter Quarter. years after the Revolution. As thequestions concerning the propertyrights of squatters added to the wor¬ries of the early administrators of thefrontier. The solutions Congress at¬tempted were not adequate, and Eng¬lish Common Law being English wasnot acceptable. One solution to theseproblems in force at one period al¬lowed the judges to choose the lawsthey wished to administer from thelaws of any of the Eastern states.Common SenseTo a great extent, courts used theircommon sense irrespective of formallaws. One instance of this ProfessorHutchinson cited was a decision ren¬dered by a Kansas court which read,“Not guilty, but the defendant is ad¬vised to get out of town by nightfall.”Judges who disposed of ten and twen¬ty cases a day while riding their cir¬cuit were not rare.As time went on, however, law inthis country became less tangledchiefly because of the influence of theSupreme Court. Marshall, who hadonly three months of formal legaltraining, and Story, another SupremeCourt justice, played the biggest intdividual roles in this simplification.With this change law in this countrybegan to lose its chaotic romance. Thegrowth of corporation law spelled itsdoom. Marcel DupreOrgan VirtuosoPresents ConcertMarcel Dupre, who is identifiedaccording to advance bulletins as aworld famous organist, virtuoso ex¬traordinary, and master improvisatorof history, will present an organ con¬cert tomorrow evening in the Chapelat 8:15.

Rubins, John Stevens,Hart Wurxburg, Marian Castleman, Ernest LeiserNight Editor: Marian CattlemanAssiitont: Ernest LetterFor Living WiselyNow that club pledges are staying upnights to absorb enough of their syllabi to getthe C-average required for initiation, now thatstudents all over campus who don’t want totake R’s are once more going through thequarterly process of getting acquainted withthe “important” facts and forgetting the rest,some question about the efficacy of our educa¬tional system is in order.When the University was founded fiftyyears ago the aim of the college was to givethe best general education possible. Since thenits experiments with means towards achievingthat end have become famous. One of the mostcelebrated is the New Plan.Nine years ago the New Plan sounded likea tremendous educational advancement. In¬stead of presenting students with scatteredbits of specialized information, it divided thesum of what man knew about the world intofour large fields. There was the universe ex¬plained in terms of physical sciences, m termsof the biological sciences; man’s relationshipswith other men studied through the social sci¬ences ; and the products of man’s thoughts andfeelings presented in a humanities generalcourse. These four courses, it was believed,would help people understand and appreciate,be less helpless before the environments theylived in—whether those environments were ac¬ademic or more concerned with practical af¬fairs. Besides the four surveys there was anEnglish composition course to give training inthe liberal arts to those who needed it; therewere electives to give students a change to in¬vestigate their special interests a little moredeeply than seemed possible with a generalcourse.On its moral side the New Plan apparentlyrang the bell of freedom and progress to theyouth of this country. It treated students asadults. It assumed that they came here tolearn, and that they were old enough to doso. No checks were put upon them, no police¬men set over them. They were not compelledto attend class if they didn’t want to go; theydidn’t have to hand in daily assignments; theirexaminations were not graded except as satis¬factory or unsatisfactory. And the comprehen¬sive examinations represented a triumph ofNew Plan fairness. To eliminate subjectivitythe questions were prepared by a Board ofExaminers so that students could devote theirwhole time to the subject rather than theteacher. Examinations were to cover the mate¬rial outlined in the syllabi, which were to berevised as experience would show change de¬sirable for better and more effective education.Students could take as many or as few coursesas they wished just so they did satisfactorywork on the required number of examinations.Intellectual Utopia was more than realized.But right away things started happeningto this paradise. Because of scholarship andtransfer requirements it was found impossibleto keep the grades S and U. Teachers mutteredabout New Plan inadequacy and the apathy ofstudents. Students muttered about their teach¬ers ; some complained that the general courseswere superficial, that there was too much mate¬rial for any of it to be really understood, thatit was possible to get a good grade on a com¬prehensive from just memorizing lucky partsof the syllabus. There were complaints thatthe courses were repetitious, overlapping, andoften dull; that while syllabi were being re¬vised the revision were far less adequate thanexperience with the course warranted. Andlast year the renowned New Plan freedom totake as many courses or examinations as seem¬ed desirable ended with the confusing tuition increase.How far is the New Plan possible? Howmuch of the New Plan is left? And how welldoes the part that is left succeed in giving stu¬dents the best general education possible? Arestudents still learning scattered bits of infor¬mation so divorced from their ordinary intel¬lectual, social, and practical lives that they willforget most of their college education after afew years? Would something like the Philo¬sophy course scheduled for next year’s seniorsin the Four Year College solve the problem otintegrating the material learned in the surveys’and relating it to actual life?Answers to these questions are still onlymatters of opinion. Not until some way is de¬vised for scientifically evaluating our educa¬tional experiments will we be able to say withany certainty how far we are on the road tothe ideal school.Traveling BazaarBy JOHN STEVENSHaving been irrevocably classified as a sweet youngthing, it is obvious that when I attempt to compose acolumn, nothing but the saccharine may issue from mytypewriter. Also having been severely and frequentlycriticized by “Phi Kappa Psi forever” Harry Cornelius,for the repeated mention of fraternity brothers in theBazaar, I shall now attempt to perform the impossible—write a column without once mentioning the name ofany member of the PSI UPSILON. (If this articleappears dead and uninteresting, let the blame fall noton the author, but rather on the aim of the work.)To stay in character, I must decficate my endeavors,first to the fraternity men, because they are so sweet,and second to the freshmen because they are so young.The topic which is bound to interest both of these typesis obviously rushing, so I’ll go down the list of fra¬ternities and pick out one man from each house whoshould give those who are being rushed the impressionthat he is definitely an “ace man.”Strong and SexyStarting, of course, with Phi Psi we could light onany one of the myriad of BMOC’s in the chapter. How¬ever, my nomination is for Bob Kibele. who stands outnot because of his unimpressive record as a footballplayer, but because he is just naturally strong and sexy.Starting south on University the first spot we hit isthe Phi Gam house, where we would probably thinkChuck Paltzer were tops if he didn’t have that horriblehaircut. Since he’s eliminated, we pick out ArmandDorian.Next stop is almost directly across from Bartlett,the Pi Lam house. Pi Lambda Phi is rightly proud ofits handsome law student. Bill Hochman, but I am par-tial to Julius Kahn. Kahn, who is shaped like an in¬verted light-bulb, has one of the best senses of humorin the vicinity.Busy Little RichSkipping by the next door neighbors, because theydo nothing but bask in the reflected glory of old PiLam anyway, we come to Phi Kappa Sigma. Outstand¬ing Phi Kap is busy little Rich Rarney, chairman oftransfer orientation.Most freshmen who have been over to the Chi Psihouse know Bill Westenberg because he is a rushingchairman. That in itself should be conclusive proofthat he is Chi Psi’s pride and joy, but I can also em¬phasize his ability as a ping pong player and all doubtmust be removed.Finding what most fraternity men would call an“ace man,” in the Beta house, is indeed a difficult prob¬lem, However, since I must, I must, so the honor goesnot to Mr. Lillian Luter, but to John Corcoran.After the Betas come the Alpha Delts. The problemhere is just as difficult as the last one but for slightlydifferent reasons. After great deliberation I nominatestraight A student Cal Sawyier. Eliminating the seniorclass made the choice a lot easier than it would other¬wise have been.Touring over to Woodlawn we come first to theZBT house. I hesitate to propose Bud Aronson becausethat would be trite, so genial Mort Slobin is the man.Evening ShowNext door are the Phi Delts who can look over theZBT roof to watch the evening show in the TheologicalSeminary. It seems sacreligious not to put Johnny Bexon our list, but Chet Hand works on the Daily Maroonand is still popular so he must be an “ace man.”Continuing northward to the Deke house we areagain confronted with a tough decision. I’ll be uncon¬ventional and skip the better-known brothers and nomi¬nate the recently acquired pledge, Hillard Thomas.The Kappa Sig’s give an annual Christmas party inMay, so their ace man must be a terrific screw-ball.Most terriffic is Philip Morris’ southern gentleman, am¬bitious Bill McCormack.Sigma Chi’s may resort to shady tactics when itcomes to rushing, but they still have their ace man.Sleepy Jim Charlton is the kid, because he earned sucha world-wide reputation for his stellar play on theTexaco Oiler kitten-ball team.Across the street at the DU house is one GeorgeKinder. He has acquired more nick-names, such as“Pindar of Thebes,” and “Rindu the Mystic,” than any¬body else on campus, so he is obviously an ace man.Phi Sigma Delta is last but not least on our epic¬making trip, Dick Norian is certainly worth mention¬ing in our category, but rushees are probably moreinterested in underclassmen. Therefore sophomore net-man Stan Levy is the candidate. Want a Ride Home?Chauffeurs Haggle“Going my way, buddy?”Christmas vacation is nearing andwe all want to go home.

USE OUR POSTAL STATIONK.Page Four THE DAILY MAROON. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1939Daily Maroon Literary SupplementApologiaUnlike other universities of its sizeand reputation, the University of Chi¬cago has no outstanding literar'group, and even less has it a literarypublication worthy of the name. Sev¬eral faculty members, especially fromthe English department, were puzzledby this deficiency. It was not that Uni¬versity students could not or did notwrite, for Professor Boynton had seenhighly commendable examples ofstudent writing, and his experiencewas echoed by several others. Whythen did not such students join to¬gether in seeking publication for theirworks at least within the Universitycommunity ?The answer is clear. Yes, studentwriters would like to see their workpublished, but at the same time theyhave gone a long time without compe¬tent criticism. They have received re¬jection slips at fitful intervals withoutever knowing exactly why their workhas been rejected. And, although dis¬satisfied with the present state, theypossess no practical means for chang¬ing it.But the Daily Maroon does possesssuch a means, and for that reason wedecided to attempt anew a LiterarySupplement. In return for giving stu¬dents an opportunity of seeing theirw'ork in print we would receive animportant and, we hoped, popular ad¬dition to the newspaper. With greaterpublicity through the cooperation ofthe English department we couldreach many more student writersthan ever before possible. Miss Fis-ter, English office secretary, acceptedcontributions. Manuscripts for the firstsupplement were to be in by December5, only ten days after the first an¬nouncement of the Supplement.Twenty-two contributions were re¬ceived. There should have been more,although even the David Blair Mc¬Laughlin Essay contest with a cash in¬ducement attracts fewer. But it wasthe quality and not the number of con¬tributions which was distressing. Itwas much too easy to separate thefour that could be printed at all fromthe eighteen that could not.The choice might have been madesolely on the basis of readability, withreadability defined as the mere phys¬ical possibility of getting through thework. For although contributors, al¬most without exception, excelled inproducing striking images they had noidea of selection and unification ofthese images. Nor were they original.It was almost as though the whole lotof them had said: “James Joyce, T.S. Eliot, and John Steinbeck use strik¬ing images. We will use strikingimages, too, and then we will haveproduced works of art.” As a resultthe poetry had “blood and wine.. .slime and slush” ad infinitum, and theprose had “dirty windows, flies andsmoke” to the eventual destruction ofthe reader. There is nothing wrongwith these images per se (except thatthey are probably trite from ovei’-use)but they must lead somewhere or saysomething new'. They are not poetrywhen they are used merely to showthe vivid vocabulary of the poet; theyare not prose when they are stuck in¬discriminately into a hackneyed plotor are sloppily justified by “stream ofconsciousness.”Perhaps with more time (contribu¬tions for the next supplement neednot be in until the middle of January)more and better manuscripts will bereceived. A truly profitable LiterarySupplement might result if studentswould realize that good writing re¬quires thought and that even a Uni¬versity literary puolication will notprint everything.—M. C.

His cards were of odd sizes.They bore words. Only one word wason most, in red; on some it w-as fol¬lowed by words in black synonyms.He pushed one card to a new align¬ment and sighed. Then he picked upthe book that lay on his huge open dic-tionai’y and read again the original or-1der of the red words. They concerned ashoddy poet who had become a pitia¬ble solicitor, condemned now’ to “lyein everything, like a King favorite,yea, like a King,” and“Like a wedge in a blocke,wring to the barre.Bearing-like Asses...”What were “Bearing-like Asses”?Roger Morton unconsciously pickedup his shears. What new arrangementmight he make if he would cut thatcompound word in two? What newlight might daw-n to lead him to ameaningful interpretation? Why thohyphen, anyway?The cry of a newsboy rang belowhis window. Roger Morton had boughtseveral newspapers recently, for he be¬lieved very earnestly that the scholarowed some attention to the world. Thesituation abroad suggested momentouspossibilties even to peoples remote.At the street door he handed thenewsboy a nickel and received a new’newspaper. Scanning the black head¬line. he turned and let his feet carryhim back to his study. The news, hesaw with relief, w.as not w-ar new-s.It was about the University. Studentsfrom Ossa were coming on a visit toPelion. There was to be an athleticevent in which both Universities wereto participate. A football game.Roger Morton was interested. Onreading further, he discovered thatplayers for the game had already beenselected. There was a “line-up”. Herecognized none of the names, but thatdid not surprise him, for he knewmore of his fellow students by facethan by name. It would be rather in¬teresting to look in on this game, heimagined. If only he could account for !that “wedge in a blocke”, that “wring ito the barre”, that “Bearing-like'Asses...” iHe thrust his right arm into his jovercoat and seized his briefcase with jhis left hand. As he switched it to his jright, he checked himself. He would'have no need for a briefcase at a foot-1ball game. He set it down, and on jthird thought clapped his hat on his |head and swung through the door set- jtling his coat about his shoulders. jIn the street he heard the roar ofa great crowd and strains of militarymusic. As he approached one of thegates of the stadium he observed abespectacled young man sitting on abox, a portable typewriter on hisknees. From beneath it projected awrinkled manuscript which occupiedhalf his attention. Roger caught hisvoice:“...functional characteristics indi¬cative of... Ticket?”Roger Morton halted at the lastsharp word, reached into an innerpocket, and drew out an old letter, anannouncement from an art museum,several call slips for the library, anda battered library card. The typistglanced up, picked out the librarycard, and observed:“Student here? O.K. .. characteris¬tics indicative of .. .of potential aber- By JOHN A. ( APPONrations balking anticipatory...”He resumed typing with one hand,holding out the card with the other.Roger Morton retrieved it and passedthrough the gate. As he mounted theconcrete stairway, he heard the roarof the crowd swell and die away, thenbui’st out in new volume. He ran upthe last steps and emerged into au¬tumn sunshine.Far below on the field he saw twolines of players in distinctive color—black and red. They were frozen inrigidity. Suddenly the rigidity melted;the lines vanished, and a black andred mound piled up. A whistle blew;the mound shrank away, red dotsmoved into a red line, black dots intoa black. Then all at once the lines be¬came knots. Two boys came dashingacross the field from either side. Onecarried a bucket; the other had abasket in either hand. He made forthe red knot. Roger saw players tak¬ing paper cups from one basket, whilesome of them drew books from theother. Some seized both books andcups.“Time out,” remarked a gray-head¬ed man next to Roger.“Which is our team?” Roger in¬quired.“Who’re you?” demanded the olderman. “Pelion or Ossa?”“Pelion,” replied Roger.“That’s the red team,” informed theWhile the selection is good besure to visit theGIFT NOOK You Use TheBest JudgmentWhen YouWear QualityClothesREXFORD'SClothes for Men28 E.

Hedoesn’t understand the new order.”Roger turned and saw a youngerman regarding him with a pleasantsmile. He held a small volume with a [finger in it. '“Times have changed,” he went on.“But for the better, I think. W’e’ve Imade football more of a college sport;here. And don’t think it was easy.” j“Nothing worth while is,” responded !Roger. He colored as he felt the oth-!er’s eye upon him. It was an unbril-!liant remark.“Right,” agreed hi? new acquaint-1ance tolerantly. “Well, take signals. |They used to be just numbers. Odd!numbers might mean a play to the jleft; even numbers, to the right. You 'know.”(Continued on page six) | ThoreauThe consciously critical reader ofHenry Seidel Canby’s study of Thor¬eau is immediately aware of a newapproach to the problem of biography.Where biographers in the past havein the main considered their subjectswith one of two purposes in mind—either detailed description leading toa concluding generalization, or broadgeneralizations continually being de¬veloped from a minimum of detail—Canby ambitiously seeks to stradd'ethe two viewpoints; indeed, to includethem both undiminished, as competentparts of the whole.While this type of study may beideal from the viewpoint of one avidfor information, it must inevitablyproduce certain serious defects. Fore¬most among these is top-heaviness—I mean the top-h eaviness offacts piled one upon the other untileach loses its identity in the generalblur. Four hundred-odd pages of in¬formational blur is no small tax uponany power of concentration. Secondly,there is the danger that the biogra¬pher may get lost in his own maze.W’hich is what Canby occasionallydoes, as for example in quoting froma letter addressed to Thoreau by Em¬erson (p. 92): ‘the antagonism be¬tween your habits of thought and ac¬tion and the divine law of your be¬ing.’ he follows with “What was thatdivine law? Emerson sems to know.”Emerson may know, but Canby evi¬dently does not. How, then, shall we?But what saves “Thoreau” from be¬ing merely boring is the scholarship,the insight, and the incisive analytical power w-hich the author brings tohis task. Detail is not spared, nor isthe reader; but the whole is cementedtogether by the image of Thoreau.held constantly before the reader andconstantly being modified and addedto before his very eyes. It is as if asculptor were to require his audienceto watch him mold his statue, bit bybit, in order to be able to understandthe final product. Canby goes farther;he makes a deliberate effort to amusehis onlookers by frequent an<l pen¬etrating demonstration of the art ofcriticism.—by Phil WolfsonDon't put it oif.

After all, we have university menhere, men of intellectual interests andcapacities. The situation called forsomething different. Of course it couldnot come at once. But now, when ev¬ery man on the faculty is a Ph. D., in¬cluding the coaches, assistant coaches,and trainers, it has come.”Roger listened attentively.“Advantage has been taken of thecommon politico-economic distinctionof ‘left’ and ‘right’, indicative of thetrend toward radicalism, or the re¬verse.”“I hadn’t heard about it,” observedRoger apologetically.“On our squad today,” continuedthe explainer, “we have eighteen men.Well, more than eighteen. No two ofthem are from the same academicgroup. They are really representativeof the University. At center, for in¬stance, we have a chap from the divin¬ity school. Right guard is in econom¬ics; tackle, sociology; end, law. Othersare in anthropology, physics, inverte¬brate anatomy, astronomy, psychol¬ogy, chemistry, and of course philoso¬phy. The cue for a play to the rightis the name of some big figure in anygiven field who is characterized by aconservative spirit. Conversely, aplay to the left is indicated by thename of some person relatively ad¬venturous in his thinking. After ageneral direction, the specific -playfollows in terms of some appropriatemnemonic symbol. No attempt at anvarbitrary consistency is demanded asyet; that is, Roger Williams, signify¬ing a play to the left, need not befollowed by any term specificallytheological or even philosophical. Itmight be supplemented by a referenceto some totally different thing—as,Thermopylae, a pass.’'A shrill whistle drew their attentionto the field.“We’ll be defeated,” announcedRoger’s informant. “Blake and Cas¬well have been unable to reach anyagreement as to whether Einstein isradical or conservative. In one way heis, in another he isn’t, you know.”“Does that have to matter?” askedRoger. “Couldn’t they agree on some¬thing for the game?”The other looked at him narrowly,“This is a University,” he observed.“Football certainly is not of such sig¬nificance as to justify a compromiseon the basis of mere expedience.”Roger Morton shrank down into hisovercoat. He realized he should nothave released that thoughtless re¬mark. For the moment he derivedsome comfort from the thought thatthe important scholars in his own fieldwere not likely to be present in thatstand. But the stranger was changingthe subject. Roger listened gratefully.“The game has put an astonishingverve into the intellectual activity ofthe men,” he was saying. “I happenedto sit next to Caswell and a fellow ingeology at lunch the other day. Theywere discussing freedom of the will,determinism, the impact of the moresas an unconscious influence in rational¬izations, and the value of a pragmaticstandard for situations involving...Julius Caesar!”At the exclamation, Roger lookedup.“A run around left end,” explainedthe other. “In Julius Caesar, youknow, the protagonist moves from astate of happiness to misery,— that,you see, is analogous to a movementfrom right to left...”The roar from the crowd drownedhis voice, and a sudden explosion punc¬tuated the roar. Above the tumultRoger heard his companion’s voiceagain, explaining still.“One of the teams has scored. Thegame is over. I have to find out ifCaswell has been able to work outanything on his new theory in thermo¬dynamics in this last half.” He gavea friendly wave of his hand andstarted down the stadium stair.Roger turned toward the innerstairway, his mind reverting to hisown problems. The jam of the specta¬tors was prodigious. “Like a wedge ma blocke,” he quoted. “That’s whatDonne means!” he ejaculated. “It’s likea wringer! ‘Wring to the barre’...Of course!”The crowd was babbling excitedly.Why all the tumult? The game wasover. It was silly to make so much ofa game. Asinine, Like asses.“Eureka!” he exclaimed. “I haveit!”“What have you got?” demandedan unfriendly growl.“You have to drop the hyphen,” ex¬claimed Roger eagerly.For that "extra special" gift besuie to see ourGIFT NOOKsuggestions at the Commons.
