RUBINSAs Congress opens this week, theeyes of Illinois are on its new Con¬gressman-at-large, the University ofChicago’s T. V. Smith. The unusualinterest in Smith’s activity at thistime arises from the fact that histwo year term expires this year. With¬in the next few weeks CongressmanSmith must decide whether he willseek re-election as Congressman-at-large from the state, or whether hewill seek the Democratic nominationfor the post of United States Sena¬tor.That Smith would like to be Sena¬tor is sure. Whether he will dare tomake his bid at this time is doubt¬ful. All depends on whether or not hecan obtain the support of the power¬ful Horner machine.When Senator James HamiltonLewis died last year, leaving a va¬cancy to be filled by Governor Horner,Smith’s friends approached the gov¬ernor with the plea that he appointSmith to fill Lewis’ unexpired term ofoffice. The importance of such an ap¬pointment was obvious. The men ap¬pointed would have a marked advan¬tage over all other candidates seekingthe Democratic nomination for UnitedStates Senator once the term expired.Such a man would appear before theelectorate as a familiar figure. Hewould be “Senator so and so” notmerely “Mr. so and so”. Further theappointment would make it difficultfor the Horner machine to block hisaspirations to receive the nominationfor a full term. Such opposition wouldbe a confession that the previous ap¬pointment was bad.When Horner appointed James Slat¬tery to fill the unexpired months, itcame as a blow to all the aspirationsof T. V. Smith. It was seen at thetime as a virtual endorsement byHorner of Slattery’s candidacy for theDemocratic nomination for UnitedStates Senator this spring.Whether the Horner section of theDemocratic party has changed itsmind is the important thing rightnow. If it should shift its positionand come out in favor of Smith with¬in the next few weeks, the latter’schance for the Sonatorship would bepractically assured. Such an event isstill possible. Without this change inthe Horner position. Smith’s chancelooks bad. It is unlikely, for instance,that he would receive the support ofthe Kelly-Nash section of the Dem¬ocratic party.There is always the possibility ofSmith’s seeking the nomination with¬out machine backing. The success ofsuch a campaign would depend onSmith’s strength as a popular leader.Some of his friends recommend thispolicy.Smith’s legislative record, whilegood, is not spectacular. He seems tohave been offered up as a “sacrificefly” by the National DemocraticCommittee. It is said that he wasspecifically assigned to the radio de¬bates with Senator Robert Taft bythe party in order to draw Taft outon a limb. This tactic was pursuedwith the expectation that Taft wouldreceive the Republican nomination forPresident. In this event Taft’s printedstatements on matters of national im¬portance would be used against him.The Democratic party would oweSmith something for contributing tothe success of this scheme.Because of the great amount ofpreparation which went into the ra¬dio debates, some of Smith’s friendssay that he had a limited amount of(Continued on page three)Henry N, RussellIs Chapel SpeakerProfessor Henry N. Russell ofPrinceton University, who is regardedby many of his colleagues as the“Dean of American Astronomers”will speak at the Rockefeller Me¬morial Chapel next Sunday. The ad¬dress, which should be of particularinterest to science students, will dealwith his own conception of God.Dr. Russell is the second astrono-fher to speak in the Chapel. The firstwas Dr. Froust, the former directorof Yerkes Observatory, who was to¬tally blind at the time he addressedthe Chapel.

Stupendous! —that’s Sun Valley,” chorused Henri¬etta Mahon and Gordon Murray, win¬ners of the Maroon Sun Valley con¬test, in an interview yesterday.Near tragedy was everted by theresourcefulness of Gordon when Hen¬rietta came to grief while negotiatinga ski run which suddenly ran out ofsnow. He rose magnificently to theoccasion applying the “snow cure” toHenrietta’s injured leg and was ac¬claimed “very resourceful” by the SunValley doctor on their return to thelodge.Elbow-rubbing with celebrities be¬came a tame occupation after the firstHold EpiphanyCandle-Lip;htin^Service SundayThe annual Epiphany Candle-Lighting Service will be given in theChapel Sunday evening at 7:30 by acombined vocal group made up of theUniversity Choir and acolytes of theChurch of the Redeemer.

Traditionally, the event issupposed to have occurred the twelfthnight after Christmas or January 6.Symbolism of the song and actionsets forth tne appearance of theLight of the World in the Nativity,the subsequent Epiphany, and thespreading of the Light into the worldthrough the visit of the Magi.Meet to DiscussCollege OrchestraDean Works’ office announces thatCollege students in both the two yearand four year curricula who are in¬terested in the organization of a Col¬lege Orchestra will meet with Deanof Students Leon P.

DeMille, Richard Dix,were a few, of the more prominentones who spent their Christmas vaca¬tions at the Lodge.Typical DayA typical day shows the pace whichChicago’s chosen two were keepingup. Out of bed at 8, breakfast at theCafe Continental, ski lessons onMount Baldy from 10 to 12, lunch onthe mountain top Chalet, more skiinguntil 4:30, swimming until dinnertime in the Valley’s famous outdoorpool (water 94 degrees, air tempera¬ture within a few feet of the pool 0degrees), dinner at 8, skating andmore swimming, and a final fling atthe “Ram” Bierstube complete with aBavarian band.The Intercollegiate Ski Meet hadits attractions for both Henrietta andGordon—especially Henrietta. Dart¬mouth and Williams stalwart ski menseem to have cast a spell that stilllingers with her.Some Train RideApparently the holiday spirit wasnot'missing on the train ride both go¬ing and coming. A communist on hisway back to Russia, an elderly gentle¬man who claimed to be an old beer¬drinking crony of Jesse James and as¬sorted other females and males in¬cluding a Phi Delt brother of Gordon’swere just a few of the people theymet en route.Douglas HasMeeting TonightFifth ward independent voters havebeen invited by alderman Paul Doug¬las, to gather for “a little seriousnessand a lot of fun” this Friday night inhis ward offices.Douglas didn’t say what the funwould be, but the seriousness will bea discussion with the voters of prelim¬inary plans for the campaign in thespring for ward committeemen, andfor the state legislature.Besides his ward party, Douglas ismaking plans to have another TownHall meeting, like the highly success¬ful one that was given in the Unitar¬ian Church just before Christmas tohis loyal constituents. This meetingwould be for the voters on the W'estSide of the ward, and its procedurewould be the same as the informalsession at which he asked for “hell,”and got only cheers. i Water Carnival, IdaNoyes Party TonightNorthwestern Obeys%> IConference RulesSays Prexy SnyderBy JOHN STEVENS“Northwestern conforms to allrules of the Western conference fac¬ulty committee ...” says FranklinB. Snyder, president of NorthwesternUniversity, in today’s Chicago Tri¬bune.Snyder made no comment on Chi¬cago’s elimination of football, but didsay that it is his “firm belief thatintercollegiate football has a properplace in undergraduate activity, thatit contributes to the purpose of edu¬cation, and that in the Western con¬ference, it is properly controlled.”Speaking of football at NU he said,“I do not think we overemphasizefootball at Nothwestern. We dealwith college men who want to playfootball, not football players whowant to go to college.” We presumehe was referring to men like AlfBauman and Bill DeCorrevant.President Robert C. Elliot of Pur¬due University called Chicago’s aboli¬tion of inter-collegiate football “acourageous and significant experi¬ment”, but went on to say that “Chi¬cago’s action is of no particular im¬portance except to Chicago.”When asked about his opinion onthe abandonment of football at otherschools he admitted that there hadbeen times when he wished that uni¬versities could exist without footballteams, but had concluded that such asituation was a bit Utopian. “PerhapsChicago will prove that Utopia ispossible,” he said.“Wisconsin Not Crooked”The Tribune is running a series ofinterviews with presidents of Big Tenschools on Chicago’s decision to doaway with football. Previously inter¬viewed was president Clarence Dyk-stra of Wisconsin who answered'charges that “You can’t play Big Tenfootball without being crooked” whenhe said “I am certain that Wisconsinis not playing crooked...”.While talking about the Universityof Chicago he said that post graduatestudy and research are emphasized,entrance is restricted to a small per¬centage of secondary school grad-(Continued on page two)Skull & CrescentPicks Club GirlsTo Sing at FormalClub girl songstresses out on aspree gave forth with merry tunesyesterday as five were chosen duringthe audition at the Reynolds clubLittle theatre to sing at the Skull andCrescent Corsageless formal January13.

The watershow is 25 cents a person, and TwelfthNight is free.Featuring all manner of aquaticdemonstrations by members of themen’s swimming team and the womenof Tarpon Club, the carnival promisesto be a spectacle worthy of openingthe busy Winter Quarter social pro¬gram.Clever PlotThe introduction of a plot ties theshow together and makes it a coherentwhole, rather than just a series ofstunts.

When he pre¬sents his Jam Quartet in the southlounge of the Reynolds Club at 5 of12 he’ll bring together a clarinetist—Sherman Vinograd, a pianist—BillTimmins, a drummer—A1 Vaitis, anda . . . well, Chuck Towey. These fourspecialize in the brand of music madeso popular by boys like B. Goodmanand T. Dorsey, the hot quartet. Thevocals will be sung by Marge Exeter,nee Gray, and since everyone is fa¬miliar with her singing, little moreneed be said. But lots can be saidabout the Jam Quartet, because thisis the first time the campus has hada chance to hear them. Towey’s or¬chestra has, of course, been heard onmany occasions. Occasions like theDeke and the Esoteric dances at theChicago Beach Hotel, the SocialC-Book dances, and more recently theQuadrangle Club party. And now heis signed to play five dances after thefive major basketball games of theseason. Chuck Towey is good, hisJam Quartet is certainly good. Atleast the season tickets are goingfast. Maybe it’s the price, $1.00 forthe five dances. At any rate at thatprice they really oughtn’t to last long.Blackfriars DeadlineThe Blackfriars Board of Su¬periors yesterday proclaimed anultimatum to all authors workingon books for this year’s show.

Tallmanis fine—the type that creeps up on a mike and slurs liquid song into it. Beati.who is also decorating the chorus, does tricks with rhythm.Quadrangler Jean Stoit got up unafraid and without a mike, piano, orquiver and sang “Temptation” and boy did it! Polly Kivlan junk “My Man”and throated “If I Could Be With You.” Ever since her appearance at theMaroon Carnival, Sigma’s Polly has been hitting the notes and the spots.Audience was composed mainly of Mortar Board and Dekes with a faintscattering of newspapermen and Charles Darragh, late of the Courtier. Theaudience was very responsive. They whistled seven times and only booedonce. Dink MacClellan pleasantly fainted.The Hand That Feeds MeIt’s always so nice to write about the people on the Maroon because theyalways try to censor what I say about them. Bob Lawson, freshman friendwho wants so to be big threeish, is sporting a big beautiful new pair of orangeand black pants which he looks much better without. My Boss Brody tilting Burgess SpeaksOn MarriageProfound LoyaltiesConservative procedureplayed a new and startling partin the American Student Unionnational convention this vaca¬tion. Because it is so difficult toget precise information aboutthe truth of world affairs now¬adays the convention votedagainst discussing the questionof condemning the Russian in¬vasion of Finland. Because thepresent world situation is sodelicate that this country mustproceed with extreme caution inall its international actions, theconvention condemned the radi¬cal steps of lending money andselling planes to Finland, andprotested the dangerous act ofadvocating a moral embargoagainst Russia.The Maroon is caught com¬pletely off its guard by this ex¬treme prudence of the ASU. Wehad no reason to expect it.Never before has the difficultyof getting the exact actual andtheoretic truth made the ASUafraid to tackle the problem ofnaming aggressor nations. Theywere able to do this in the casesof Italy, Japan, and until recent¬ly, Germany. Nor was the ASUpreviously afraid that sendingaid to oppressed countries wouldendanger the security of theUnited States, We all remembertheir valuable services in theSpanish cause. Inasmuch as theconvention voted to continuesupporting China, we cannotconvince ourselves that the ASUhas rendered itself inactive outof any fear of interfering inforeign affairs.A majority vote put down alldiscussion of condemning SovietRussia for invading Finland.The real reason why this ques¬tion could not be considered, wehave heard, is that it wouldhave split the ASU. This is quiteinteresting — it shows thatstrong feelings as well as a de¬sire to get the absolute truthbefore taking action were in¬volved in this matter-The ASU was never in dangerof breaking up before becauseof naming aggressors, evenwhen these countries encroachedon territory less entitled to becalled sovereign nations than isFinland. Why should the emo¬tions of some of its members beat such heat now that Russiais the aggressor country? Un¬less a large part of the ASUfinds it necessary to maintainan unflinching loyalty to SovietRussia regardless of what thatnation does we can see no validreason for di.smissing this im¬portant question.Our local chapter of theAmerican Student Union has Ernest \V. Burgess, pnifessor ofsociology, will speak to Chapel Un¬ionites on “Marriage Pi'olloins in Chi¬cago” next Sunday evening at IdaNoyes at 8:15.Burgess is the co-author of Parkand Burgess’ “Introduction to So¬ciology” which is a standai’d text-bookin many sociology courses. In collab¬oration with Professor Cottrell ofCornell, ho recently published a bookon “The Prediction of Success andFailure in Marriage.”Also on the list of Chapel Unionspeakers for this quarter are Dr.Guiseppe Borgese, pi'ofessor of Italianliterature, who will speak on “TheFascist Philosophy of Life” at DeanGilkey’s home on January 14; and Dr.Martin Bickham who will discuss“Unemployment in the Modern City”at Ida Noyes on January 21. nor loreign language is required foradmission.” Works questioned themeaning of the phrase “classical edu¬cational ideas” and mentioned the factthat entering students are required totake at least a year of physical .sci¬ences and biological .sciences.THE NEWLEX THE.ATREFEATURING “PUSH BACK” SEATS1162 E.

Butthey say watch him in the Januarysession.And so Smith will be watched. If heplans to run without machine backingfor the United States Senator, he mustdo something spectacular which willcatapult him into public attention,from which he seemed to retire at theconclusion of the debates with Taft.The nature of the discussions beforeCongress may, however, offer himfew opportunities for a type of per¬formance which seems necessary.Meanwhile Smith’s friends are nowpaying many unofficial visits to Gov¬ernor Horner to convince him thatSmith would be more effective thanSlattery as Democratic candidate forSenator.If Horner refuses to back him, andhe doesn’t dare run alone, he willconcentrate instead on the office ofCongressman-at-large, for which hecan probably receive the support ofthe Horner machine which backed himtwo years ago.

Duval Jaros.Faculty Adviser lere C. MickelNight Editor: Richard SchindlerAssistants; Joan W'ehlen. Boh SchwartzWeekly PolicyThe Weekhi has been repeat¬edly criticised (by at least twopeople.) that it has no definiteeditorial policy and that most ofthe editorials are written fromthe faculty’s point of view, rath¬er than from the students’. Thesecond editorial will certainlyspeak in favor of these points,though it is not generally true.The Weekly serves the primepurpose of any school news¬paper: “To furnish its readerswith an accurate and completeaccount of campus affairs.’’ Tothis one other function has beenadded: To print any official an¬nouncements that the FYC de¬sires in order that they may beaccessable to all students. Thisdoes not make the Weekly an in¬strument of the administration,because the administration doesnot ask the right to influenceeditorials or policy or the newsthat is printed. The Weekly isquite independent in this re¬spect : It is a student paper. Itmeans to cooperate with the fac¬ulty in making important an¬nouncements known, just as itmeans to co-operate with thestudent body to advertise schoolevents and dances. By coopera¬tion it does not submit.Due to the newness of theFour-Year College system theWeekly has felt that it must sup¬ply all possible help. Thereforeit has withheld any disputableopinion so far. Even the twociiticizers have been unable tosugge.st anything about whichthe Weekly could start a fight(that seems to be what theywant). The Weekly, by its edi¬torials, means to stimulate un¬derstanding between teachersand students, not start argu¬ments.Be A Good GuestIt has been brought to the at¬tention of the Weekly that Four-Year College students are abus¬ing the liberties granted them.It has been noted that pupils,going to their clas.ses in Classicsbuilding through the ForeignLanguage room in Harpers,cause some disturbance by notrealizing that they are in a read¬ing room where silence must be jobserved. Carelessness was alsonoted in the eating of lunches ina Cla.ssics common room. Thenoisv passage way in Grad. Ed.is all too well known, and is notentirely due to High school stu¬dents. Finally pupils have been ]seen smoking in Belfield wash- !rooms. While there is no ob- ijection whatsoever to smoking 'outside between cla.s.ses, it has ;been mentioned repeatedly that jthe University forbids smoking !to all in any of its campus build¬ings. IIt is the desire of the admini¬stration that pupils make freeuse of all facilities. But of coursewhen on .strange property it isexpected that they conform tothe rules and regulations of the 'surroundings. Mere courtesydemands that silence be ob¬served in a studv hall, or that,classes in Grad. Ed. be not dis¬turbed by noisy passages.

Swimmers To MeetMorgan Park TuesdaySPORTSCORNERBy BOB SCHWARTZThe trouble with our school teamsis not, as most peoi)le think, in thelack of school spirit. This is only aminor difficulty and is shown to us bythe fact that certain teams lose byjust as big scores with large attend¬ances as with small ones. In my mindthe major difficulty is in the lack ofpractice, this being neither the faultof the coaches nor of the players.By “lack of practice’’ 1 mean thelack of time (in the form of days)during which the team can jiVactice.Y(.u will find in other schools that theteams practice not only at or duringthe seasons of the sports but beforethe seasons begin. For instance, in¬stead of beginning in later Novemberto practice, the basketball teams inother schools start practicing in earlyOctober or even in late September.However, in our school the numberof boys is limited and by beginningpractice of one sport in the sea.son of iHirsch Hi^h MeetFriday at Bartlett;Everybody Out!The swimming team’s season will; open next Tuesday, January 9th. whenj it will compete in a dual meet withI Morgan Park Military Academy.' The boys have been working outi in Bartlett ever since October and they' ‘hould be in pretty good shape. How¬ever, their progress was hindei-ed bythe Christmas vacation layoff. Underthe supervision of Coach MacGilliv-ray, new members have develo|)e(itheir talents and old members havt>perfected them; and although thesquad is not a large one, the boyswho have come out have shown goodability in their various fields. On thewhole it is a well-balanced squad butmore members are still needed.Many preliminary line-ups havebeen submitted to Coach MacGillivrayand Captain Hallett for consideration,and a final program will be drawn iqiin the near future. Those who willj*robably compete in the coming meetsare Hallett, Schwartz, Gronert. Nus-baum, Jaffe, Daskal, FJpstein, Feiler.Robertson, Weiner. Kirk, and Wojniak.Let’s start the season off with twostraight victories. Let’s have every¬body out to witness the first swim¬ming meet of the year, on Tuesday,January 9, at 4:00 in Bartlett Gym¬nasium.another, you would draw players fromthe teams that need them. This wasexhibited by the soccer and basketballteams. .A few days before the lastsoccer game the basketball teams be¬gan pi-actice, and many soccermunanxious to do well in basketball"ditched’’ soccer practice. This left 0or 7 players on the soccer field forpractice. Imagine what kind of a soc-cei- team we would have if the bas¬ketball, track, and swimming teamsstarted practice at the beginning ofthe soccer season!.Another reason for our loss ofgames is that it is almost physicallyimpossible for a boy to go out for 2or J sports in a year and be a masterof them all. In other words, a personout for soccer, track, and baseballcould not be excellent in them all.While in other schools a person goesout for one sport a year and practicesit all year. Here one goes out for 2 or.*5 a year, practicing each only in itsparticular season.An attempt has been made to rem-(‘(iy this. We have joined a league ofschools that are in the .same piedica-ment as we are. However, these other.schools instead of trying to maintaingood teams in eight sports a yeai-.concentrate on three (one each sea¬son).Thus it seems that we must abolisha few of our teams if we are to havemore championships won by ourschool.Rifle TeamMembers ChosenAn official FYC rifle team has beenstaited this year foi- the express pur¬pose of giving the school a good teamin something besides track, soccer,and swimming. It should be our bestteam if the members show as muchenthusiasm during the season as theyhave at the outset.About twenty-five students are try¬ing out for the team. The first matchwill probably be against the HydePark Y.M.C.A. of Hyde Park High. Itwill be held in late January.Some of the present members are:John Morri.son, Harry Mayer, Wil¬liam von Holst, James Reynolds, DickKosterlitz, Wilson McDermut, JonesFlook, Allan Metcalf, Dick Garver,Bob Platt, Geraldine Berg, John Fiel-er, Roy Kirk, Barbara Moss, MarjorieBivins, Frank O’Brien, Bill Deutch,Lynch Gronert, Betty Gillet, BettyAnderson, and Betty Hartman. Mr. Derr Prediets(iood Traek Season“This year’s track squad can be anexcellent one IF: (1) all the boy>with track ability come out for thet»*am, (2) the new boys on the teamkeep steadily improving, (J) the mem¬bers turn out for practice regularly..At jiresent the seniors are strongestin the 440, 880, shot put and fair inthe low hurdles. The juniors on theother haml are strong in the sjirints.(itiO and b.w hurd'''s.’’ This is th»'opinion of Mr. Dei t, coach of the jun¬ior and senior track teams.The most {iromisl..;'- members of theteam are as follows:Juniors—In the sprints— Moore.Halverson, and possibly Newell, theOCO —- Halverson, Wright, Rodney.Jamieson, Stoffer and Newell. Run¬ning the low hurdles Moore, Halvei-son. Palmer, and possibly Menaul.Throwing the shot put—Lindholm,Baty, and Newell. Polevaulting—Men¬aul, and high jumping—Wright. Pal¬mer, .and Menaul.Seniors— In the sprints—Sergei.Roth, Barry, F]llenberg, Hoyne andHarw’ood. Running the 880 will beHarwood, Himmelblau, Stoll, FJllen-berg and possibly Yasus (out for bas-ba'ktball.) In the “mile” the teamlooks weak with Stoll and McConnellthe only possibilities so far. In the hui -dles Green, Keefer, and Renolds aremost promising. Throwing the shotare O’Brien, Epstein and Alter. In thepole vault Lager and Flook will par¬ticipate while in the high jumj) aieHarwood, Femister, Sergei, and pos¬sibly Metcalf and Flook both of whomare out for Basketball. Both Morri¬son and Von Holst have not yet re¬ported for practice but w’ould addstrength to the team in the splintsand in the sprint relay.On the whole, (according to Mi.Derr), the chances for the team’s suc¬cess depends on the amount of workthey put in.Art Exhibit Closing!For all seniors and people inter-e.sted in art in general the Italianexhibit (at the Art Institute untilJan. 9) is a “must .see” item. Amongthe loveliest jiictures there is a smallFra Angelico, which is like a jewelwith its brilliant colors, clarity ntcomposition and its lovely form. Alsoextremely wonderful is the Titianportrait of Pope Alexander.

The final marks which deter¬mine credit in the College for requiredcourses (RWC, Humanities, Ec. Soc.,Physical and Biological Science) arebased solely upon comprehensive ex¬aminations given at the end of theschool year, but quarterly advisorygrades are made a part of each stu¬dent’s official record. Credit in campuscourses (such as German 101-2-3, orMathematics 101-2-3, etc.) is alsobased solely upon comprehensive ex¬aminations. Certain courses in whichthere are people both from the HighSchool and from the College, such asFrench I, are not regularly reporteduntil the end of the semester. How¬ever students who did not receive .areport on all of their courses may ob¬tain their grades from their advisor.j This bulletin was issued from theI Four-Year College office last Wednes-I day.

Itcame as a result of much study andafter many hours of previous meet¬ings had been consumed in discussingthe football situation.The decision was one of three al¬ternatives—either to openly subsidizeplayers, to play a lighter schedule ofteams, or to abolish football complete¬ly. Although this writer and a num¬ber of students feel that footballcould be continued at Chicago byplaying a lighter schedule of teams,our opinion was not shared by thetrustees. They found this objection—that the school would lose much pres¬tige and that Chicago would be putinto the same class as the schools withwhich they compete. They felt thatChicago would be thought of as asmall school rather than one of thelargest and most notable institutionsin the country.While it is not easy to perceive thatour football campaign would affect theintellectual status of the University,such was the opinion shared by thetrustees and consequently was the rea¬son for their final action.* *As for Chicago’s dropping out ofthe Big Ten, the idea is ridiculous. Aslong as Chicago abides by the rulesand standards set forward by theConference constitution, they will notbe required to resign. After all, Chi¬cago was the only school last yearthat had a team competing in everysport—which is more than can be saidfor the other schools.* * ♦The situation now is as follows:—regardless of all the protests that maybe raised, football for the present isabolished and a new program of ath¬letics must be devised for the FallQuarter. While the Athletic Depart¬ment already has a few ideas they willappreciate any and all suggestions of¬fered by the student body. Addressyour letters to the Daily Maroon andwe shall be glad to forward them tothe proper authorities.>t< >ti ii<While we do not take completecredit for this brainchild we wouldlike to suggest it for what it is worth.We hereby suggest that the AthleticDepartment erect a toboggan slide onStagg Field during the wintry months.The slide will begin above the WestStands and will continue down untilit hits the snow-covered depths ofStagg Field. The cost will not be pro¬hibitive (I hope) and the sport willoffer exercise and enjoyment to stu¬dents who might otherwise be de¬rived of this pleasure. Anyways, weoffer it as a suggestion.Carnival—(Continued from page one)find all of the entertainment facilitiesof that hall at their disposal. Theymay swim, bowl, dance to the strainsof Bob Mohlman’s orchestra, or par¬take of the refreshments. Men arerequested to bring their own swim¬ming suits; girls may rent theirs atthe pool.In addition, there will be a cere¬mony during which greens will beburned, a short exhibition by membersof the water carnival, and a floorshow. The Ida Noyes Council, mem¬bers of the Reynolds Club Council, andmembers of the Student Social Com¬mittee will sing carols during theburning of the greens.Jovial Lee Hewitt will MC the floorshow which includes jitterbug DonWarfield; singer Ardis Mollitor; andpianist Gordon Watts.At the close of one day’s balloting,there are four or five girls who areclosely bunched, and all have a goodchance to win the honor of being“Campus Dream Girl’’. Severalgroups of students have banded to- jgether and are voting solidly for the |girls of their choice. Voting closes ,today at 2:30, with boxes in both jMandel and Cobb.Dolphin and Tarpon Clubs are spon¬soring the Water Carnival, and RalphMcCollum, Dolphin head, is director.Chairman of the Twelfth Night pro¬gram is Ruth Steel, assisted by a com¬mittee composed of Mary Lu Price,Mimi Evans, Muriel Frodin, ClarissaRehill, Jean Scott, and Mary Herschel. Survey WisconsinCage ProspectsSmith, Senior Forward,Lost to Badg:ers for Sea¬son.Coach Harold E. “Bud’’ Foster ofthe University of Wisconsin cagesquad received another bad blow forhis team’s chances in the conferencerace when it was announced Tuesdaythat Andrew Smith, senior forwardfrom Wausau, would be lost for thebalance of the semester and in allprobability for the rest of the sea¬son.Smith, who scored 89 points in con¬ference competition last season, wasinjured while playing baseball lastsummer and has never completely re¬covered. He has been ordered to resthis leg, and an operation may be nec¬essary to remove a growth. Smith’sloss keeps Coach Foster’s record com- jplete in that he has lost one regular in each of the six seasons that he hasbeen at Wisconsin.In the meantime. Coach Foster,keenly disappointed by the Badg’ers’pre-confrence record of two wins insix contests has decided to spend theworkouts this week searching for anew combination in an effort to bringthe Badgers out of their slump. As aresult, there will probably be severalnew men in the starting lineup whenthe Badgers open their conferenceseason against the Maroons in Chica¬go Saturday night.As the Stanford zone defense com¬pletely stopped the Badgers becausethey were unable to react quicklyenough to it. Chicago stopped theBadgers twice last year by employingthis same type of defense, and asCoach Nels Norgren is again wellsupplied with tall men. Coach Foster ^expects to have to face a strong zonedefense in the Fieldhouse Saturday inight.
