K. Chesterton’s fantastic comedy“Mapfic,” comes to the campus carry¬ing: more innovations than any showto date. Not only is the cast composedof newcomers to campus dramaticefforts, but the metho<ls of staging,the technique used in the settings,and the director are all new andfresh.In addition, the form in which theplay is written is a distinct novelty,.since it is made up of the convention¬al three acts and a prelude. None ofthe cast, with the exception ofCharles Mur rah as the Duke, hasever been .seen on any Universitystage by the public. The others in thecompany include lone female Marga¬ret .\nn Rathje, and her six cohorts,John Cook, William Godsave, RobertMiller, Marshall Pattullo, Jeffrey.Mongerson and Mur rah.Production StaffThe production staff includes as¬sistant director Lyn Hill, designerHlsa Teller, Property head Jerry Gor¬don, Stage manager Don Wilson, anddesigner of lighting David Fisher.The director is Demarest Polacheck.The .settings are unique, employingthe unit-piece technique, for the firsttime on the campus this year.

Douglas’ lecture in LawNorth yesterday, but “not being alawyer” Mr. Douglas was not adverseto delivering a few bits of his own phi¬losophy interspersed with referencesto Alice in Wonderland. Mr. Douglasbegan his talk, however, by givingbriefly the historic background of col¬lective bargaining.In his ojjinion, collective bargaininghad its roots in the trade guilds ofeighteenth century England. Manyof the powers the guilds possessed,he sai<l, were used to control the sup¬ply of commo<lities and their price,though ostensibly granted to main¬tain standards of workmanship.Speaking of unionism in this country,Douglas reviewed some of the impor¬tant law cases which have largelydetermine<l the attitude of our courtstoward collective bargaining.•After discussing the rights of theemi)loyee and employer which thesecases defined, Douglas spoke of thechanges in labor relations that theWagner Act and Labor RelationsBoard have effected. He does not feelthat the latter should be divested ofits power to prosecute, but he doesfool that within the Board the judi¬cial and prosecutory activities shouldbo entirely separated. In particular,Douglas spoke of the problems whicharise because an employer must bar¬gain with his employees. The Student Forum invites allUniversity students to participate inan open Forum on the abolishment ofMaroon football today in Lexington 5at 4 in order that they may becomebetter acquainted with various viewson the ban before President Hutch¬ins addresses the student body Fri¬day.Five minute speeches will be givenby Marjorie Kuh, James Burtle,Russ Parsons, and Dave Martin. Aft¬er they finish, the speakers and theaudience will engage in a generaldi.scussion. It will be the first time inForum history that emphasis will beplaced on audience participationrather than on the speakers.Discussed on .\irThe football ban was discus.sed byfootball players John Davenport andDick Wheeler and Student Forummembers George Probst, LouiseLandman, Joe Molkup, and Charlesh'. MacLelland in a Radio Bull Ses¬sion over the CBS network last Sat¬urday. The football players and Mac¬Lelland disagreed with the admini¬stration decision and Molkup, Land-man and Prob.st approved it. Rich¬ard Scammons, research director ofUniversity radio, also participated.Joe Molkup and Joe Rosensteinwere selected to represent the Stu¬dent Forum of the University in aspeaki.ng tour next month which willinclude discussions with Lincoln Uni¬versity of Jefferson City, Missouri,the University of Missouri, ChristianCollege, and Stevens College, all of('olumbia, Missouri.Basis of ChoiceThe selections were based on try¬outs consisting of a six minutespeech on “Higher Education,” or“Youth Problems.” The chief factorsconsidered were, speech content, au¬dience contact, and effectiveness ofdelivery. Forum directors AlvinPitcher and Jacob Ochstein made theselections.Dick Reed and Marcum McEnroewill address the Plebian Forum, 34S. Peoria Street, tonight at 8 so thatthey may be tuned up for future in¬tercollegiate competition. “If the present session of Congresswill be anything it will be futile,”Jerome Kerwin humorously quips.“With the entire House and half ofthe Senate to be elected or re-electedbefore the year is out legislators willbe afraid to do anything and in ahurry to get to the home politicalfront. It’s always that way beforean election.”Dr. Kerwin, Associate Professor ofPolitical Science and a genuine polit¬ical sage, views the political scenelaughingly but knowingly. He lovesto tell funny stories on Congress oror Congressmen, and his eyes twinklethe brightest when he contemplatesRoosevelt’s political cleverness.“Roosevelt,” Kerwin says “w i 1 1steer clear of the fight this sessionand let Congress .squabble to itself,but he’ll get what he wants. ThePresident’s economy spell is highlystrategic, because Congress is any¬thing but economy minded at thistime. It will be reluctant to pass thetax measures, because of the elec¬tion’s approach, however, both thebudget and the tax proposals will gothrough practically unaltered. In factthe bmlget may come out higher thanRoosevelt’s if certain emergencymeasures are passed.”There will be little or no change inthe N.L.R.A. or the Wagner Act,Kerwin predicts. Those who opposethese acts at all would like to seethem abolished, but know they cannothave this.(Continued on page three)TraininfrStarts Soon;Contiuues to Fall A.S.U. DebatesNational PolicyA report on the national conven¬tion will be given to members of thelocal ASU at a meeting today at 3:30in Rosenwald 2. Refusal of the con¬vention to condemn Russia for ag¬gression in the Russo-Finnish dis¬pute has aroused widespread com¬ments and editorials nationally aswell as on campus.Election of officers will also takeplace at the meeting.One of the placards advertisingthe meeting bears an apparently un¬authorized message calling on allASU sympathizers and members tocome and vote to condemn Russia,and the issue will probably be raised. Douglas GivesEconomy PlanBy ERNEST LEISERAt the Finance committee of theCouncil Monday, Paul Douglas toldthe city how it could save $4,332,000for the current fiscal year. But in his50 page economy statement, he alsooffered a “long run view of munici¬pal and local economies.” These e-conomies, which would result ingradual savings over a period ofyears, would require admini.strationby a capable executive.The fact that Douglas is interest¬ed in saving money for Chicago isnot startling, for ever since he hasassumed his post as ward alderman,he has bent all his effort towards in¬troducing measures which would bet¬ter the administration of the city.Douglas for Mayor?But it is interesting in light of thefact that his friends and supportersare already mentioning him as alogical candidate for mayor in thenext city elections. This outline ofpossible long run savings indicateshim more clearly than ever as a goodman for the job.Douglas asked that the councilbear his suggestions in mind, and “ifpossible include them in our budget¬ary program for the next one, two,or three years.”Consolidate DepartmentsHe asked that there be a consoli¬dation of street cleaning depart¬ments into larger districts. It wouldresult, he said, in a potential savingof $400,000. Consolidation of differ¬ent inspecting services, operatingthem through district headquarters,he promised would result in a largeannual saving.Reclassification of the city’s per¬sonnel is another step in the long runplan towards more efficient admini¬stration. He would further eliminateexcessive offices, which he thinkscould be discovered through an in¬tensive job survey. Better garbagecollection, using either coveredti’ucks or covered trailers, Douglasfeels is a necessary step towardsgood municipal government. Hewould also have better garbage dis¬posal plants, either district incinera¬tors, dumping under the fill, or de¬veloping an island airport, throughrefuse dumping.(Continued tomorrow) Queue of StudentsWatch Bandit Clean OutTillsThree men robbed the Bursar’s Of¬fice of $4,500 at 2:35 yesterday aft¬ernoon. While between 60 and 75students waited in line at the cash¬iers’ cages, one of the men dashedbehind the cages, scooped the moneyout of 'three of the tills, ran out,dropping a roll of pennies in his hur¬ry, and made a clean getaway withhis two companions.As far as could be accurately de¬termined from the thoroughly rattledoffice staff of the Bursar’s office, on¬ly two of the men were armed. Justbefore the one man ran behind thecages, Harry Benner, a student at¬tendant, went up to the other two toask.them their business. One of themheld a gun against him, while theyshoved him over against a pillar andtold him to shut up.Police Too LateThe girls behind the cage kickedthe alarm, which was flashed to theWestern Union operator, who calledthe police. Nine minutes afterwards,the whole police department wasthere, but the three had escaped.One of the men, cashiers report,was about six feet tall, dressed indark clothes, and with dark hair,another was about 5 feet 7, with adark green shirt, and dark hair. Hewas one of the trio known to bearmed. The third man, the one whoraided the tills was a man of mediumheight, and wore a gray hat, and agray overcoat.Loss InsuredPolice took several University stu¬dents who witnessed the robbery tothe local station for aid in furtheridentification of the men. The losswas insured.Highlight of the robbery camewhen one of the scared cashiers tolda waiting student, “I’m sorry. You’llhave to wait a minute. There’s arobbery going on.”(ioldfarb WinsSkull-Crescent Bid“As far as I can see”, said TyroneGoldfarb in an interview late lastnight, “the Skull and Crescent form¬al should be the most sensationaldance so far this year”.

By MARIAN CASTLEMAN(This is the second of two articleson faculty vacancies in the Univer¬sity. The first article discussed va¬cancies and 7'eplacements in the Bi¬ological Sciences and Physical Sci¬ences Divisions.—Ed.).Although there have been no ma¬jor appointments in the divisions inthe past three years “replacementshave been made by the appointmentof young instructors or assistantsand the gradual promotion of othersenior staff members,” explainedDean Taliaferro in answer to chargeof a weakened faculty. This is alsothe answer of Divisional Deans Galeof Physical Sciences, McKeon of Hu¬manities, and Redfield of Social Sci¬ences. Furthermore, the younger menhave proved extremely capable in thework they have taken over, so that,although the University has not ac-acquired many big names in the pastfew years, the actual efficiency of theteaching and research staff is asgreat as it has ever been.Impressive LLstsIn 1936-37 an impressive list ofappointments was made in the Hu¬manities division. These appoint¬ments filled vacancies left in the de¬pression years of 1931-35. But thr^emen appointed at that time are nolonger at the University. WernerJaeger, professor of Greek and Phil¬osophy, Dag Stromback, professor ofGerman, and the late Walter Peter¬sen, assistant professor of Linguis¬tics, were important figures in theirfields, and they have not been re¬ placed as yet by men of equal rank.But other appointments of the sameseason have remained and have be¬come extremely popular in their de¬partments. Such men as Giuseppe A.Borgese and Walther von Wartburgin Romance Languages and MorrisR. Cohen and Rudolf Carnap in Phil¬osophy have added appreciably to theprestige of the University. (5. Hay-don Huntley in Art, George William¬son in English, Blanche Boyer inLatin, and Henri Frankfort in Or¬iental Languages, all appointed inthe past three years, have alsostrengthened their departments.Several PromotionsIn addition several promotionshave been made. In English GeraldE. Bentley, Walter Blair, ClarenceH. Faust and Napier Wilt weregiven the rank of associate profes¬sors. In New Testament LiteratureErnest C. Colwell was made head ofthe Divinity School and Harold Wil¬loughby was given an associate pro¬fessorship. Ulrich A. Middeldorf wasrecently made an associate professorin Art.'(Continued on page three) On February 23 Dr. Albert W.Palmer, president of the ChicagoTheological Seminary, will sail fromSan Francisco to take part in a “Re¬ligious Emphasis Week” to be held atthe University of Hawaii the firstweek in March. This meeting whichis sponsored by the Federal Councilof Churches of Christ in Americahas already been held at more thantwenty-five state universities. OnFebruary 19 Dr. Palmer will takepart in the inauguration of Profes¬sor Arthur C. McGiffert as presidentof the Pacific School of Religion inBerkley, California. Professor Mc¬Giffert resigned from his post as pro¬fessor of theology at the ChicagoTheological Seminary to accept hispresent position.

Rubins, John Stevens,Hart W'urzburg, Marian Castleman, Ernest LeiserNight Editor: Jim BurtleEducation and SophisticationIt is rather shocking to think that the in¬fluence of upperclassmen has a corrupting effecton the intellectual alertness of incoming stu¬dents. Yet the absence of this influence under¬lies the chief explanation offered by one sur¬vey course director last week to account forthe superiority in the grades of a group of mid¬year freshmen over those of a similar groupof autumn freshmen. Another factor sug¬gested as a cause of this superiority is the en¬thusiasm mid-year students had for a new ex¬periment.If these explanations are valid, what bear¬ing do they have upon the efficacy of the greateducational experiment known all over thecountry as the New Plan? This renownedventure is not even a new one: it is alreadyin its ninth year.Nine years ago the New Plan was goingto revolutionize college life. It was going toprovide a really good general education thatwould prepare students for either academic orpractical living. No longer would students beforced to go to college as if they were servinga term in a penal institution; they would at¬tend because they were sensible adults, pri¬marily interested in getting an education.When it inaugurated the New Plan the Uni¬versity took a step quite in keeping with itspioneer tradition.But before the excitement over the birthof the Plan died down, the baby passed into itsaw'kward stage. Though the students werestill considered adults, yet it was necessary forthem to meet requirements less progressiveschools demanded of their pupils. The Univer¬sity couldn’t be completely a pioneer: it hadto re-establish letter grades and quarterly ex¬aminations. Complaints were heard, moreover,that neither the organization nor teaching ofthe curriculum was wholly adequate. Such in¬adequacies were to be expected, however; theNew Plan was young and w'ould improve as itgrew up.Recently the New Plan has met with acci¬dents which threaten to stunt if not check itsgrowth. One of these is the complicated tui¬tion increase that went into effect this year.This tends to penalize especially the intellect¬ually ambitious students. A more serious acci¬dent is the deterioration of the students’ in¬tellectual ambition.Nine years has evidently been a longenough time for students to become sophisti¬cated about the New Plan. They are familiarenough with it to know its glittering reputa¬tion doesn’t come from any brilliant hardness.So much material is presented in the coursesthat the examiners can’t fairly demand thatstudents have more than a general idea of theworking out of certain basic principles. It’seasy enough to get by the comprehensiveswithout much studying if you have the righttechniques. Too many students know the truthabout the New Plan; they consider it a markof unsophistication to be enthusiastic aboutspending much time with books.What effect will this kind of sophistication,if it becomes widespread, have on the generaleducation the college tries to give students?In one sense, maybe it will prepare them forgetting along better in practical ife. Butwouldn’t they get better training in this sortof skill somewhere else? Developing shrewd¬ness shouldn’t be the business of an educationalinstitution. And learning a course just for the.sake of passing examinations will never pro¬duce the kind of “culture” many people go tocollege for.As for preparing students for academic life,this unintellectual attitude is wholly pernicious.The bad habits it leads to will never produce.scholars fit for Mr. Hutchins’ ideal university.Just because something may be abused itis not necessarily bad. The Maroon would like Traveling BazaarDirty, Dirty!Usually the Maroon waits until rushing is over toexpose dirty rushing. However, there is so much thisyear it will take at least two Bazaars to do it. This isthe first.Most notable example of dirty rushing is the bigdinner one of the not big three houses had. After afabulous dinner, the big dark president clapped hishands thrice and dancing girls descended on the diningroom. Rumor has it that the chorines were from a girl’sclub, and I don’t mean Mortar Board either.What prominent fraternity is offering a large bakedham and a pound of bacon with every pledge button ? .,.If the date that this same house fixed up between acertain Psi U “sewed up’’ and Constance Bennett workedout at all, he isn’t so “sewed up’’ ... If that freshmanwith the new black and white suit doesn’t go a certainway, he certainly is ungrateful. It isn’t every house thatwardrobes its rushees, ... If that man with the purplepants thinks he can make anything but Beta, he justdon’t know fraternities . . . It’s not true that a certainsmall house with a lot of members bought out theRialto for a rushing function ... It w'as the Gem, Whatdo you think they are? Alpha Delts?. . . Speaking of this house, if you think the onlything they play in their back-yard is ice hockey, wellyou just ain’t sophisticated.True StoryBest story of all, however, surprisingly enough istrue. It’s all about Ben Coyte, the thug from Sigma Chi,who with his voice starred in Mirror and Blackfriar’slast year. Mr. Coyte thought it m.ight be fun to go to theWater Carnival the other night to look at his dreamwomen and maybe smile sweetly at freshman footballmaterial which Sigma Chi is so anxious to get.Mr. Coyte spotted a young lad sitting all alonepanting pleasantly at all the nice little girls in bathingsuits. Always the man-about-town, the bon vivant, Mr.Coyte got chummy with the young man and before hewas through had invited him to an illegal rushing din¬ner, offered him a job on the subway with him, and aride thru Sigma Chi. All this, of course, wei|t with ateeny weeny pledge button. The shy young freshmanwas Tom White, president of the Phi Gam house. Mr.Coyte has such a good voice.Miss Paine AgainI love Hattie Paine she is always doing so manythings I can write about. Last quarter my petite littlefriend wore a pair of odious black squeaky shoes whichannoyed DA friends and Int-House fiance, C. Hahn.Santa Claus was waiting for Hattie when she got backfrom a Mexican Christmas vacation. Fiance Hahn andFriend Jas. Tedrow, Phi Delt, had sent her nice shinywhite saddle shoes for Christmas.Out of the Tube. . . Skull and Crescent dance will be about the firstformal affair that freshmen will be able to attend, sofar this year open to the entire campus ... It will beso nice seeing nice shiny new full dress suits and niceshiny new pledge buttons all at once, only frankly I’mholding out for Clarabel Grossman . . . Harry Topping. . . Pretty Mike Rathje is about the most neglected cam¬pus beauty around here by campus photogs . . . RuthBrody . . . Dick Philbrick is just about the biggest prizein the freshman class . . . Inside rumor has it that therobbery of the Bursar’s office was done by studentstaking extra courses . . . Doesn’t sound logical. Thereisn’t any justice ... I hope when President Rooseveltgets over being president he comes to the Universityand lectures here. He was on the radio last night andwas a lot better than anything I ever heard CharlieMacCarthy do . . . That’s no orgy at the Phi Delt house.All those people sleeping together are just all the ac¬tives living at the house this week trying to make rush¬ing effective. Sounds strenuous . . .Browder vs. Joy-BoysJanuary 17 the leader of the Communist party, I^arlBrowder, will speak at the University, under the auspi-ces of the local Communist Club. Stink expected byUniversity from its joy-boys was drowned temporarilyin fit of protest against the football abortion. But nowcreeping up again is talk of riots, egg throwing, andgeneral racuous and destructive reception. Surprisinglyenough, the people who actually are working to keepthe meeting quiet and avert any riots are just the joy-boys that the University was worried about. The fra¬ternity men and the three honor societies are workinghard to see that tickets for the meeting are only avail¬able to University students. Indications seem to be thatthis will work is properly indorsed.What the Communists would probably love to see isa fine riot which would arouse sympathy for their cause.If the meeting is quiet and smoothly run the only fruitof it will be listening to Mr. Browder and what he hasto say. The only trouble being what he has to say isprobably what all the other Communists are saying, butthen it’s nice to be reassured.to think that the New Plan is still a growingthing, and that the obstacles to its growth canbe removed. Before they can be removed wemust know what they are: for example, whatcauses so much student apathy? Is it neces¬sarily part of the nature of colleges and stu¬dents that what goes on outside classroomsshould seem so much more interesting than in¬tellectual work? Should any of the distractionsbe eliminated or deemphasized ?These are not questions the Maroon cananswer scientifically. We can only give ouropinions for what they may be worth. It is upto the University to study these matters ob¬jectively. Is the New Plan succeeding? tInterchurchCouncil Forms^Visit Group^A visit to the Quaker Church Sun¬day will inaugurate the program ofthe newly formed Interchurch Visitgroup. The avow^ed purpose of thegroup is to become mutually ac¬quainted and integrated with religiousparties of all creeds.That University students are in¬terested in acquainting themselveswith the church doctrines and cere¬monials of religious denominationsother than their own has been shownby repeated inquiries to the leadersof the religous groups on the quad¬rangles, One of the leaders so ap¬proached was Y\VC.4’s Mary Korel-lis. A group made up of Bob Boyerof Chapel Union, Bob Koenig of In¬terchurch, Bob Raymer of Hillel, andMiss Korellis met and drew up a plan.A regular schedule of visits hasbeen arranged to replace the visitsthat have been made informally inthe past by groups from the quad¬rangles. All those interested willmeet before the service to hear ex¬planations of the ceremonial and theideas of the church being visited.These explanations will be made byUniversity .students who are membersof that particular church.This Sunday will see the first visitof the group—a trip to the Societyof Friends (Quaker) Church at 57thand Woodlawn.

Nobody hasvet been appointed to fill the place ofthe late James Weber Linn, profes¬sor of English. Professor Boyntonundertook the direction of the Eng¬lish Composition courses in the Col¬lege when Professor Edith FosterFlint retired two years ago. At thesame time several new men were ap¬pointed to teach the English Compo¬sition courses. However, in no casehave men of the same rank been ap¬pointed to fill the places of Profes¬sors Flint and Linn and AssociateFred Millet.Northrup RetiresIn Romance Languages Profes.sor(k'orge T. Northup has retired andProfessor Algernon Coleman diedthis summer. Besides Stromback,Archer Taylor is gone from the Ger¬man department. John Shapley, pro¬fessor of Art, is another loss. No onehas been officially named to fill anyof these vacancies.The same story is repeated in thedivision of Social Sciences. In 1936William E. Dodd retired from theHistory department, in 1937 H. C..Morrison left Education and Historylost another famous figure in M. W.Jernegan. The Education departmentretired C. H. Judd in 1938, and inthe same year H. A. Millis retiredfrom Economics. A third loss in Ed¬ucation came last year with the re¬tirement of E. R. Breslich and alsoin 1939 Ellsworth Faris ceased hisactivity in the Sociology department.Other ReasonsHut larger than the list of retire¬ments since 1935 is the list of formermembers of the staff who have leftthe University for other reasons. In1935 the Sociology Department miss¬ed Fldwin H. Sutherland and in 1936Eugene N. Anderson left the Uni¬versity’s History Department. R. L.Lyman in Education, A. R. Rad-clitfe-Brown in Anthropology, Fred¬erick L. Schuman in Political Science,and Eugene Staley in Economicswere gone in 1937. The year of 1938>aw the departure of Harry I). Gid-I'on.se and Henry Schultz from Eco¬nomies, and Harold D. Lasswell inPolitical Science. In 1939 the Educa¬tion department lost Frank N. Free¬man, Economics lost Albert G. Hart,and History said good-by to M. M.K Happen..Against these 19 vacancies are bal¬anced 14 appointments during thesame period. In 1935 W. LloydWarner was added to the Anthro¬pology department and S. .A,. Stouffercame to Sociology. The prize acqui¬sition of 1936 was J. F’red Hippy inHistory. Seven new’ names came in1938, among them Ralph W. Tylerto head the department of Educationand Walter H. C. Laves to direct theSocial Science surveys. E. C. Hughesjoined the Sociology faculty, W. M.Frogman came for Anthropology and-Anatomy, Oskar Lange for Econom¬ics. and N. C. Leites and James T.Watkins in Political Science. Lastyear H. M. Cole came in History.The Cowles Commission brought H.(i. Lewis w’ho devotes half his timet.> the Economics department. Maur¬ice L. Hartung is a part time mem-tier of the Education department,and Jacob L. Mosak also was ap¬pointed in Economics.-More Replacements-More replacements have been maderecently in the Social Sciences thanin any other division. But neverthe¬less teaching loads are great. In Bi¬ological Sciences the strain will berelieved by the recent Grace AbbottFoundation gift of $2,500,000, butthe other divisions are not so for¬tunate. In Biological Sciences thelast major appointment was made in1935 w’hen Dr. Eugene Geiling wasmade professor and Chairman of thedepartment of Pharmacology, but asstated in yesterday’s article no im-portant replacement has been madesince 1934. In this respect the Biolog¬ical Sciences are probably in greatestneed of the recent gift.The Fiftieth Anniversary drive’schief aim is to raise funds sufficientto prevent the University from be¬coming stagnant. Although the Uni¬versity is now holding its own, it mayhave to rest on past laurels shouldthe drive prove un.successful. How¬ever, the eight million of Decemberand the already enthusiastic re¬sponse to Fiftieth Anniversary plansshould make the picture of the futurebrighter. The economies, one aspectof which has been discussed in thesetwo articles, have not as yet harmedthe University. If the need for theseeconomies is lessened, the Universitycan once again look forward to un¬impeded growth. Craigie Calls RushingFishing^^ in New DictionaryreFor campus joyboys tbe fishingseason has begun. In the eighth partof Sir William Craigie and James R.Hulbert’s Dictionary of AmericanEnglish, “fishing” is defined as“rushing, in college slang.”Part VIII ranges the Americanlanguage from “empower” to “flintstone.” It came out the day afterChristmas, and was given the samerespectful ovation from scholars andetymologists the country over thatthe seven preceding parts had re¬ceived.No “Fall Guy”Despite the laborious work ofCraigie, Hulbert, and their staff ofresearch assistants, however, be¬tween “fall growth” and “fall herr¬ing” there was just a small emptyspace. The hard working lexicog¬raphers had failed to find a “fallguy.” This is disappointing, becausewe had always thought that the en¬dearing term for sucker was a re¬spected, and highly American contri¬bution, to the written and spokenlanguage.Slightly better than first rate, is“first-rate-and-a-half.” A “featherbed soldier” is a soldier who has asoft and easy post. (This is prob¬ably also applicable to Congress¬men.).An “Eye-Opener”America has more than one defini¬tion of an “eye-opener.” Not only isit the traditional “drink of wine orwhiskey, especially one taken earlyin the morning” but it can also mean“something that enlightens one.”Perhaps the two definitions are sy¬nonymous.“Fandango” has a perfectly re¬spectable place in American Eng¬lish. It means just a social gatheringfor a dance. Sir William obviouslydidn’t give the University connota¬tion of the word, for in 1935, itmeant quite a lot more than that.No “G-Man”The staff of the DAE evidentlyhadn’t listened to “Gang Busters”for among the definitions of a “Fed”which classified him variously as aFederalist or a member of the Fed¬eral army during the Civil War,there was not one which called him one of J. Edgar Hoover’s “G men.”Back in 1834, a “fanega” meanta dry measure, usually equivalent toslightly more than two and a halfbushels. And in America there areseveral species of fish called “fat¬heads.”Another StepFor the layman, these were someof the highlights of this latest pro¬duction of the Craigie and Hulbertstaff. But for the scholar, the eighthpart out of a proposed twenty-fivesections of a Dictionary of strictlyAmerican English was another steptoward the completion of a tremen¬dous piece of valuable work.Sir William Craigie, co-editor ofthe Oxford English Dictionary, isthe world’s most distinguished livinglexicographer. He has been workingon the Dictionary since 1925 when hejoined the University staff. Dr. Hul¬bert is a University professor ofEnglish. The two men and their .staffhave compiled, “not a dictionary ofAmericanisms, nor a dictionary ofslang, but a great work including, asfar as possible, every word, phrase,or usage which has originated on thisside of the Atlantic and importationswhich have had a connection with thedevelopment of the country, in usebefore 1900.” The work is being pub¬lished by the University Press.Hutchins AddressesTrustees DinnerPresident Robert M. Hutchins willaddress the Trustees at their 20thannual dinner tonight. Other speak¬ers will be Harold H. Swift, chair¬man of the Board of Trustees andtoastmaster, Fay-Cooper Cole, pro¬fessor of Anthropology, who willspeak for the faculty, and ClarenceRandall, of the Trustes, who willspeak for the Board.The dinner, which will be attendedby 600 people, will be held at theSouth Shore Country Club with thereception at 6 and the dinner at 7P.M. Private invitations have beensent to the regular faculty by theBoard of Trustees.Kerwin—(Continued from page one)“The (A)ngressman will want toget out about June 1st. About thelast of March they will begin to feelthe jiress of time and feverishly passeverything that comes along.”Kerwin believes that at present themost likely presidential possibility isFranklin D. Roosevelt himself. Ac¬cording to the latest polls Rooseveltwould easily win the election, with67% of the electorate favoring athird term. Quite possibly Roosevelthasn’t yet made up his own mind ona third term. Even if he has, he isfar to clever a politician to commithim.self at this time. “If he were nowto declare himself no candidate hewould lose his hold on congress, whilethe opposite decision would stimulateopposition candidates. As our polit¬ical history .shows, the smartest tac¬tic is to keep everyone guessing.Roosevelt may never make a commit¬ment. If he does not, the buck willbe passed to the Democratic Conven¬tion.” WAA Plan DunesParty For SundayBoth men and women are invitedto a Dunes Outing on Sunday, Jan¬uary 14, from 9 to 5 sponsored byWAA.

Since intercolleg¬iate ice hockey has not panned outvery successfully, T. N. Metcalf isthinking seriously of adding thissport to the Intramural calendar.Because the rink under the NorthStands is almost too small to playregulation hockey on, the plan is tohave only five men on a team. A strange thing about the footballsituation here is the reticence of theplayers themselves. Most of the stu¬dents are expressing themselves veryvociferously one way or the other onthe slighest provocation, but thosewho are most concerned, the players,are keeping mum about it all. Performs On CourtSeveral Show PromiseAs 19 Men Report ToCoach AndersonMetcalf is much interested in en¬couraging the prospective puckstersat Chicago, and he feels that the bestway to increase interest and partici¬pation in it is to have some kind ofintramural schedule—even if it is on¬ly a small one. “If we could just gethalf a dozen fraternities to put upteams, that would be enough,” he re¬marked yesterday. The Alpha Deltswill have a bit of an advantage overthe other houses in hockey, for theyflobd their back yard for skating ev¬ery winter, but Psi Upsilon has var¬sity pucksters John Palmer andChuck Pfeiffer and the Chi Psi’s arerepresented by Pete Griggs and JackCampbell. * * *One of the features of the pro¬posed I-M hockey league would bethe elimination of “lifting” the puck.That would mean that goalies wouldnot have to wear the expensive, cum¬bersome pads used in regulationgames, and that the players wouldnot need shin guards or shoulder-pads, Having no equipment woulddiscourage body checking and there¬by eliminate much of the so-calleddanger which is associated with thepuck chasing game. A few broke their silence whenasked about it, but most of thosequizzed just looked wise and saidthey did not wish to be quoted.Freshman Bob Dodd, Bob A. Miller,Don Wilson, Joe Stearns, Lin andBill Leach were in this category.Bob Mustain, freshman guardfrom Proviso, Ind., went out on thelimb with the following: “I think it’sa dirty trick on the freshmen. Andit was particularly untimely becausechances are that next year we wouldhave had a good team. If mattersstay as they are, probably the onlystudents left here in a few years willbe long-haired Communists. Footballwas the spark of life in this school.” By DEMAREST POLACHECKThe call for first year basketballcandidates by Yearling coach KyleAnderson did not go unheeded. Onthe contrary, the results must haveexceeded his fondest expectations,since nineteen men turned out at thecall Tuesday afternoon. The qualityof this material is not hard to deter¬mine, their antics on the hardwoodcourt proving a treat for the tiredoptics of the cage coaching brain-trust. note because of a strange coincidenceof patronyms are the three Nelsons,Art, Ed and James. Whether any ofthis trio are related to any of theother members of same your observ?er has not had sufficient opportunityto ascertain. It is something you maywhile the long evenings away won¬dering about. Seeking to retain their clean rec¬ord, the water polo team meets twoteams this week—Ridge Park tonightand Whiting Park tomorrow night.In their only game to date, Chicagodefeated Griffith A. C., 7 to 6 in arough battle. The personnel of theteam remains the same. Bill Macyis a fixture at goal. Jim Anderson.Art Bethke, and Chuck Percy are theguards, and Bob Stein and co-captaingJackk Bernhardt and Joe Stearns arethe forwards.Gyiiiiiastics TeamMeets MilwaukeeThe irrepressible Milt Weiss, jun¬ior tackle, thought it was “Terrible.We played the game for fun and ifwe enjoyed it, there was no reasonto talv it away from us.”Chuck Boyrd, freshman tackle, be¬lieves that it was a dirty shame todrop it, especially after the long andglorious history that it had here.“But,” he added, “we’re all going tostay here, and intend to play inter¬collegiate football before we grad¬uate.”Dick Wheeler, senior center, thinksit will be back in two years. The shining lights, on cursory in¬spection, are some six w'orthy gen¬tlemen, whose efforts have particu¬larly struck sideline observers. Thesesix are Ed Heller, Lionel Norris, whohails from Peoria, Carl Gunttler,Fred Shaver, Art Moynihan, andGeorge Krakowka, all of whom arelocal products.Also present at first year practicesessions is Edgar Paine, brother ofLyman Paine, w'ho formerly playedon the Midway squad. Both of theserelatives hail from the sunny shoresof Glendale, California. Only othercandidates who do not hail from themetropolis are George Wilkerson,who compromises by living in River¬side, prominent suburb of the windycity from whence the University getsits name, and Jay Mullen, who re¬sides in the confines of Lake Forest. For the first time in six years, thegymnastic team is opening its seasonwith Milwaukee Athletic Club. Themeet will be held at 8 p.m. Saturdayin Bartlett gym with admission in¬cluded in the C-book.The team has been improving stead¬ily and this meet will be a spur tothem. Three of the team—GlennPierre, and Courtney and Earl Shan-ken—are working out on all the ap¬paratus and will participate in theall-round event.Read the MaroonTunis ConductsGolf ClassesAt Fieldhouse F'reshman Bob Weinberg, 210-pound end, went on record with:‘“I’m sorry that it happened thisway. We’re working to get it back,and, when it returns, to make it theway Hutchins wants it.”Coach “Chuck” Tanis, professionalat the Olympia Fields Country Club,will conduct golf classes at the Field-house for the second successive year.Beginning January 16, Tanis willbe available at the Fieldhouse drivingrange from 7 through 10 on Monday,Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursdayevenings. Private lessons will be twodollars for each 30 minute lesson or$7.50 for a series of five lessons.Group instruction in which theclasses are limited to six golfers isalso available, the charge being $2.50per person for five one hour lessons.Students and members of the fac¬ulty may I’egister at the Athletic Of¬fice in Bartlett gymnasium for eitherprivate or group instructions. GolfClubs will be furnished to those de¬siring such instruction and Practiceballs are also available.The range is also open at thosehours to accommodate students whowish merely to practice their golfstrokes. Big Hugh Rendleman was most ve¬hement about the manner in whichthe sport was abolished. “It wasn’tfair. There was nothing about thewhole affair that was not underhand¬ed.” Prospects drawn from the citystreets and its justly famous boule¬vard-park system are Lin Leach,Herbert Leavitt, Julian Levinson,Eugene Mindell, Michael McMahon,Bob Monaghan, and Elroy Sandquist.In the same category, but worthy of A word to the wise is sufficientQuality-wise and price-wisepeople buy Klein'sFiner MeatsKlein'sFiner Meats1030 East 55th St.SPECIAL ATTENTION GIVEN TO"PHONE ORDERS"FOR PROMPT DELIVERY—.
