Whe Bail? itoionVol. 40, No. 51 Z-149 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, THURSDAY, JANUARY 11, 1940 Price Three CentsHeto Theta Pi | Washiii^on Prom at Lake ShoreMiOllSS Splits 1 T* TMEievenWaikOut Uub; Jimmy Dorsey PlaysHits MoveTo LimitBrowderPetitions “UnderhandedAttempt” to Make Meet¬ing FailureThe Communists yesterday termedthe move to limit attendance at theBrowder meetintr next Wednesday tostudents and faculty members, as “anunderhanded attempt by the Daily.Maroon to make the meeting a fail¬ure, and to cut down attendance.”A spokesman for the CommunistClub of the University, which issponsoring the speech by the ex-presidential candidate, said that theCommunists didn’t feel that themeeting ought to be restricted in anyway.Deans Can’t SayMeanwhile there was no officialcomment from the Dean’s office as towhether the petitions would be actedon, if enough were signed. DeanWorks is out of town, and Dean Ran¬dall said that he didn’t know whetherthe administration would act to limitthe meeting if enough students de¬manded it.The reason that the Communistsfeel that attendance ought not to belimited is because they expect thatfriends of the University, and peoplewho live in the University commu¬nity, will be interested in hearingwhat the noted Communist will haveto say.No RiotThey term the charges that therewill l)e a riot if the general public isadmitted “ridiculous.” The spokes¬man said that despite the fact thatthe heads of the three “so-called”honor societies had promised that ac¬tion was being taken to avoid vocaland physical protest from students,there was more danger of di.sturb-ance from within the student bodythan from the outside.He quoted Lyman R. Flook, headof the Building and Grounds depart¬ment, as his authority for sayingthat outsiders could be handled bythe University police. “Intellectuals” LoseVoice In FraternityPolicyBeta Theta Pi, famed for itsunique intellectual emphasis, split in¬to two distinct factions over a ques¬tion of what the proper means of at¬taining this emphasis are, and as aresult of this split, ten of the broth¬ers decided to go inactive and oneman depledged.The group which is remaining inthe fraternity believes that a stronggroup organization is necessary forBeta, while the brothers who areleaving the house arc primarily in¬dividualists. .After the split, whichfirst became .serious during di.scus-sions of rushing, the two factionsfutilely considered many compromiseproposals. They finally decided thatA1 Long, president of the alumni or¬ganization, should decide whichgroup should determine fraternitypolicy.His decision, which virtuallyamounted to a conclusion as to whoshould go inactive, was at lengthmade in favor of the group that doesnot call it.self intellectual. His rea¬sons for .so deciding are: this groupis more highly united; this groupconsists of eight sophomores and sixjuniors, whereas the other is primar¬ily composed of juniors and seniors.Long said, “The unique purpose ofthe fraternity w’ould in no way bechanged. It was merely a question ofwhether .strong group organization,or individualism is the better meansof achieving this purpose.” He chosethe former.As a matter of interest the groupknown as the intellectuals does nothave quite as high a scholastic av¬erage as the now active brothers.President of the chapter, StuartMacClintock, explained his surpris¬ing decision as follows, “We are leav¬ing the fraternity because we feeljthat the uniqueness and intellectual-ism for which we stand is gone.”Among the leaders of the brothersstill in the house are John Zurmueh-len. Jack Jefferson, John W’ilson, andDick Orr. Most ApproveFootball BanThose who are against the footballban are apparently small in numberif the open forum sponsored by theStudent Forum yesterday in Lexing¬ton on that question is an indicationof what the views of the studentbody are. Every speaker who waschosen to present the problem fromboth sides of the fence favored thefootball ban. They were Jim Burtle,David Martin, and, surprisinglyenough, BWOC Marjorie Kuh. RussParsons, football player, declined tospeak at the last moment.Two Oppose BanOnly two students of an audienceof about 30 persons who were eligibleto participate in the discussion op¬posed the ban. One of them broughtout the fact that Harvard is an ex¬ample of a school with a high aca¬demic standard as well as a goodfootball team.Said Jim Burtle, “One reason whythe University can justifiably elimi¬nate football from its program is thatit deprives the student who needsphysical exercise and favors the onewho does not need it.”Marjorie Kuh did not favor theban at first but has now changed hermind. She said, “At first I was hor¬rified at the decision because it wouldkeep many students, other than thelong hairs, from attending the Uni¬versity. Now, however, I think thatthis problem can be solved by adopt¬ing some activity which would be asuitable substitute for football. Iwould like to know what that sub¬stitute would be.”In the audience was RichardScammons, research director of Uni¬versity radio, who said, “I am proudto be a student and faculty memberof a school which does not wish tosubsidize as so many other schoolswith which I have come in contactdo.” ‘Bartlett Gym Too Close to StaggField for Comfort” SaysBob ReynoldsMoved to the Lake Shoie Athletic Club, Washington Promgoers will,on February 21, dance to music provided by Jimmy Dorsey. “The reasonfor changing the place,” joked Social Committee Chairman Bob Reynolds,“is because Bartlett Gym is too near sad, dead, and haunted Stagg Field.”Jimmy Dorsey will leave the Hotel Sherman to make his one night standbefore University students.“The other reason,” explained Reynolds, “for moving the Prom out ofBartlett is because so many people didn’t like Bartlett as a place to hold thebiggest open dance of the year.” Hepointed out that they resented putk-ting on tails to w'ork out in a gym.Bids at $3.75The bids will be priced at $3.75,which is the same price as last year.The leaders of the grand march forthe gala celebration will be selectedat the Social Committee’s next meet¬ing, probably by next week.Reynolds also announced the selec¬tion of the Prom committee. The So¬cial C juniors who will do the dirtywork for the dance are Dale Tillery,DKE, Kappa Sig Wayne Bautell, PsiU A1 Schmus, Phi Sig George Schatz,the super-publicity man of Phi DeltaTheta, Johnny Bex, and Pat Wolf-hope, the lone woman on the commit¬tee and member of Quadrangler.A rtShowOpens;U of C StillIn ConferenceAfter Edmund Giesbert’s one-manshow closes Friday, the Art depart¬ment will be host to the annual BigTen Art Show. It will be exhibitedin Goodspeed 108 from January 19to February 2 and will include thework of three University students,together with paintings from all oth¬er Big Ten schools except the Uni¬versity of Michigan.Helen Haughton’s “Near the Rock¬ies,” Eleanor Rawlings’ “Still Life,”and David Seyler’s oft-shown “Dal¬matian Donkey,” are the three pic¬tures by University artists.Following the Big Ten show thereare scheduled two shows by membersof the staff, one to be an exhibit ofsculpture by Mrs. Elisabeth Hibbardin February, the other a showing ofthe paintings of Miss Laura VanPappelendam for March. Other,shorter exhibitions have been plan¬ned for the Winter quarter, but noannouncement of them has beenmade yet.Freshmen who decide to join afraternity will indicate their pref¬erences to the Inter-FraternityCouncil tomorrow morning be¬tween 7:30 and 12:30 in the Tro¬phy Room of Bartlett Gym.ASU Re-ElectsSid LipshiresAs ChairmanMotion to CondemnRussian War FailsTo PassSidney Lipshires was re-electedchairman of the ASU at a meetingin which bitter debate revealed thesharp lines of division existing in theorganization. A resolution callingfor condemnation of Soviet Russiawas the chief bone of contention. Themotion failed to pass.Lipshires gave a report to the well-filled meeting on the national conven¬tion of the organization. He readthe main points of the peace and civilliberties resolutions passed there. Onthe Finnish question, Lipshires saidthat the convention felt reactionaryforces in America were building Fin¬land up as a moral issue to possiblyinvolve the U. S. in a war.Oppose LipshiresSeveral members brought up thepoint that support of China mightalso involve the U. S. in war, yet theASU advocated such support. NickHelburn brought up the resolution tocondemn Russia but at the same timeavoid violating American neutrality.George Halcrow, one of the foundersof the ASU, favored Helburn forchairman of the group. Halcrow saidthat he didn’t believe Lipshires rep¬resented the majority sentiments, butthe sentiments of an active minority.He said the ASU was playing withdynamite and might .suffer seriousconsequences. Both Helburn and theresolution were defeated. A resolu¬tion to have the executive commit¬tee consider asking the national com¬mittee to hold a referendum on theFinnish question pa.ssed.

Hart Wurzburg, MarianCastleman, John Stevens, Ernest LeiserNight Editor: Demarest PolacheckAssistant: Marjory GoodmanDripping with GoreLight-headedly, Maroon edi¬torials are linking this news¬paper with all the reactionaryforces in America which arenow trying to use Finland todrag University of Chicagoyouth into war, so a letterprinted elsewhere on this pagewarns. Today’s light-headed edi¬torial will be concerned primar¬ily with two things: first, our“reactionary” attitude; and sec¬ondly, our eagerness to dragourselves into war.If it is reactionary to believethat the failure of the Ameri¬can Student Union convention tocondemn the Soviet invasion ofFinland, that its refusal to sub¬mit the matter to a referendum,that its adoption of resolutionsprotesting lending money andselling planes to Finland alongwith its going on record as op¬posing a moral embargo againstRussia makes the ASU lookCommunist dominated, then in¬deed the Maroon is reactionary.We take our place along withother such died in the wool con¬servative publications as “TheNew Republic” and “The Na¬tion.”We believe it to be a fact thatthe resolutions stated abovewere passed. Not only did weread of them in different news¬papers with diverse political pol¬icies ; but also our reporter whowrote the story of the nationalmeeting had the last two reso¬lutions straight from the lipsof the local ASU chairman. Thechairman, we believe, is a reli¬able source.The writer of the letter thinkswe have treated the first tworesolutions improperly, and hegives us more facts aboutthem. The Communists, he says,had arguments the more con¬servative section was unpre¬pared to refute which convincedthe liberals that PMnland is “anoutpost of French, English, Ger¬man, and American imperial¬ism.”To inquire into just whatbeing an outpost of imperialismmeans and whether or not Fin¬land is such a place is not ourpresent concern. It is enough toask if this gives sufficient justi¬fication for condoning the inva¬sion of one sovereign countryby another. How many nationstoday could be entirely clearedof the shadow of imperialism?Our own country would notemerge with spotless purity—do we want Russia to come inand clean us up? And who isRussia to be charged with thisholy mission? Since last sum¬ mer its own behavior has givenit no right to a holier-than-thouattitude about imperialism. Itlooks as though bearing of thewhite man’s burden is shiftingtowards the east.Furthermore, the Maroon isnot at all pleased to hear thatthe liberals at the conventionwere convinced by argumentsthe conservatives were not pre¬pared to refute. Couldn’t theliberals have prepared a few ar¬guments of their own? Even ifthey are in the majority whatgood will they do if they degen¬erate into an inert quantity tobe played upon by opposing ex¬tremes? They should not bemade happy by the Communists’chivalric tribute to their massin not forcing them to exoner¬ate Russia and place the wholeblame on Finland. Rather, theyought to have made the Com¬munists be even more polite andsubmit the Finnish question toa referendum.The Maroon wants no deepquarreling with liberals. If wecan irritate them into resumingaction we shall be satisfied. Butwe can be called reactionary on¬ly by the same kind of argu¬ments that make Herbert Hoo¬ver a Red.Much has already been saidabout our “war” policy. Weagree with the action groupsthat you cannot get peace justby denouncing war. But we failto .see just how the ASU wouldjeopardize its fight for peace bycondemning an aggressor. It hasactively denounced aggressorsbefore without getting Americainto war. Because of its markeddefection now, in the face of therest of student opinion, we aresurprised to think that the ASUstill believes itself able to main¬tain any kind of “effective lead¬ership on the campus in its fightfor peace.” And ASU memberscannot regain this leadership bysuspecting that the Maroon de¬sires “to drag University of Chi¬cago youth into war.” The Traveling Bazaar|><||l4(h||»4||>(|h||M||M||u||M||M||»<||><||»4||M||u|)>4||><|h||»<||><||M|h||»«||»<|h||Aux Armes, CitizensLetters to theEditorBoard of Control,The Daily Maroon:Because of a chanp:e in the housepolicy of Beta Theta Pi fraternity,we the undersigned are no longer ac¬tively connected with Beta, nor do weendorse any of its policies. The na¬tional officers have decided that thischange was best for the fraternity,in spite of the fact that the majoritydid not desire it. This change in¬volves a shift from “intellectualism”to a “well-rounded fraternity.” Weare unprepared to make this shift,for we feel that it entails the loss ofthe qualities which brought us in.It is only fair to tell rushees thatthis change is a vital one, and thatthe present conditions are entirely jdifferent from those which existed at |the time they were rushed. No one |should be misled into joining thisfraternity in the belief that it is con¬tinuing its former policy, and the en¬tire fraternity is anxious that fresh¬men know the pre.sent status of theorganization.

Continuing he went on to saythat policies adopted during the warcan make foundations of peace eas¬ier or harder. Although many per¬sons believe that at the end of thewar there will Ik? nothing but totali¬tarian state.s, he said that the transi¬tion from war, a totalitarian econ¬omy. to a liberal economy can andwill be accomplished.Democracies Dictate I’eaceHeilperin based his entire lectureon the assumption, “War will befinished under such conditions thatdenuKTacies can dictate Peaceterms.” During a war some democ¬racy necessarily has to be forfeitedbut in the end liberalism can be re¬established.Heilperin explained the disruptionof trade and markets mu.st involveprice control at the end of the wardepending upon the .scarcity of goods.With inflation prices going higher, tominimize chances of inflation, pricecontrol should be established soonafter the war. “Financing of the warshould be “pay as you go" instead of"installmt-nt plan.” To accomplishthis the countries should be taxed tothe utmost and there should be li-(piidation of foreign assets ratherthan foreign loans.” Douglas OutlinesPlaits for Chicagoto CommitteeAlderman Professor Paul Douglas’long run plans for Chicago, he saidin his discussion of budget cuts be¬fore the finance committee of theCouncil, include more than can becovered by a mere discussion of thebudget.He pointed out to the councilmenthat the world’s fourth largest cityneeded to consider intelligently thereal long range problems which con¬front it.Government Improvement NeededHe said that the problems could notbe avoided if democracy was to avoidbeing criticized as “inefficient andineffective.” When he scans Chicago’sgovernment, said Douglas, he seesthat improvement is necessary.To achieve efficiency, he asked con-.solidation and simplification of the4()-odd departments, boards, and com-I missions in the city into a dozen in-I legrate<l dei)artments.! ('onsolidate SuburbsI He also suggested that Chicagoi consolidate with some of the suburbs,to eliminate the duplication of func¬tion of the various governments, andto simplify government operation. Bycentral purchasing, an<l other just asimportant means, money could besaved, and operation would become' much more efficient.He also asked that longer rangefiscal an<l a<lmini.strative plans forpaying back the city’s debts be con¬sidered, that some of the city’s serv¬ices be decentralized so that the citi¬zen may voice his complaints easieran<l more audibly, and asked for co¬operation with the “exclusive” sub¬urbs, who derive their income fromChicago.Hutchins—(Continued from page «me)dents expect it to be.Hutchins: If the students expect meto discuss football I suppose I’llhave to.Disciple: Mr. Hutchins, if the footballsituation isn’t the chief reason forthe meeting Friday, what is?

The second wasbacked by the Communists and ex¬onerated Russia, placing the blameon Finland. The Communist group,which was a distinct minority at theconvention, was tactful, well-in¬formed, and well-organized. TheCommunists spoke as loyal ASU-ersand not as disinterested Reds. Withfacts, figures, and with forensic ex¬cellency they made the liberals seewhat the more conservative sectionwas not prepared to refute—that de¬spite all quasi-1917 newspaper head¬lines to the contrary, Finland hasbeen and is an outpost of French,English, German and American im¬perialism.Nevertheless, despite their initialadvantage, the Communists had theinterest of the American StudentUnion at heart to press for whatwould have been a close vote on theirpro-Soviet motion. They heeded thedesire of the liberals, and thus wonthe respect of the liberals, by with¬drawing their resolution and sup¬porting a resolution which neithercondemned nor exonerated the Rus¬sian action, but insisted that Finlandmust not be used to drag America in¬to war.These are the facts. The Maroonwould do well to check them beforeeditorializing so light-headedly.The America Student Union is nota purblind, static organization. Itrealizes that what makes for peaceone day may make for war the next.The American Student Union is anaction organization. It does not con¬demn an aggressor and then do noth¬ing about it. To condemn the Sovietmove means to fight it. It means em¬bargo Soviet Russia. It means sup¬port Hoover for relief to Finland. Itmeans all aid to the Finnish govern¬ment. The American Student Unioncannot maintain effective leadershipon the campus in the fight for peaceif it follows this policy, and it can¬not maintain effective leadership if itcondemns and does not act.Every reactionary force in Amer¬ica, whatever you think of the meritsof the Finnish government, is tryingto use Finland to drag Universityof Chicago youth into war.

In order topreserve the Burton-Judson combina¬tions, Hebert has ruled that no fresh¬men may represent their respectiveGreek societies in basketball.Ping PongAs yet the finals of the ping pongand billiards tournaments have notbeen run off; again, this delay islargely due to the rigors of intensiveweek on the various fraternity teamswhich have moved into the fipalbracket.Hebert has been considering seri¬ously the proposition made yesterdaythat hockey be added to the Intra¬mural curriculum to help fill the ath¬letic gap left by the abolition of foot¬ball on the Midway. He feels that ifthere is sufficient interest in thesport it should by all means be addedto the I-M roster, but that in orderto be a successful project the gamewould have to be altered rather dras¬tically. His two main objections tohockey were that it might prove toorough for good sportsmanship andthat the ability of Middle Westernpuck chasers is mediocre at best.As T. N. Metcalf observed Tues¬day, “Hockey is a game that requiresa rather rare and particular knack;so it may not work out very wellhere, since few of our student bodyhave had enough hockey backgroundto play well.” Joe Molkup.
