Clie MaHv illaroonVol. 40, No. 55 Z-149 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, THURSDAY, JANUARY 18, 1940 Price Three CentsCampus Polls ShowsNeutrality SentimentStudents Vote Japanese,BourdRussian Invasions Un¬justified.That the United States should re¬main neutral is the overwhelmingsentiment of the students who votedin the peace poll conducted by theKeep Out of War Congress, shortlybefore the Christmas holidays.On the question of entering the waron the side of Germany, 772 voted no,and 17 said yes. 20 voted to join theAllies now, and 776 said no. The votefor neutrality was 697 to 52. Thatthe United States should send aid tothe Allies of they begin to lose, wasvoted down 595 to 143. Vote for anembargo on war materials to Euro¬pean belligerents was close, but themajority was against the embargo,395 to 352. Cash and carry policy onwar materials was favored 500 to 178.434 voted that peace should be con¬cluded immediately and 239 said no.U. S. co-operation on peace moveswas favore(i 491 to 256.KuK.sia V.S. PolandRussia’s occupation of Polish ter¬ritory was held unjustified by a voteof 457 to 212. 439 agreed that the.Mlied-German war is imperialistic,and 161 said no.On the Far Eastern question 716voted that Japan was not justified inwaging war on China, and 41 said shewas. An embargo on war materialsto Japan was favored 601 to 157.In a question on peace treaties 758said a treaty similar to the VersaillesTreaty would not produce a lastingpeace, and 19 said it would. The ma¬jority also felt that a body similar tothe League of Nations would fail toprorluce a lasting peace. The votewas 441 to 287. A majority vote of453 felt that the substitution of so¬cialism for capitalism would also failto serve the cause of peace, those whothought it would, numbered 151.The great majority of the men,who voted on the question “Wouldyou l)ear arms in this war?’’, answer¬ed negatively. Only 112 said theywould bear arms, while 368 said theywould not. Sixty more were either,“not willing’’ or “undecided.’’When asked if they would beararms in any war, 246 said yes while105 answered negatively.

Yeats—His Poetry ofHis Times,’’ Thursday at 8, in IdaNoyes room C. It will be led by DavidDaiches, English instructor. Generaladmission is 10 cents. Daiches hastaught at Edinburgh and Oxford andhas published four books.This discussion will be part of a se¬ries on Twentieth Century EuropeanLiterature.Winter ProgramFollowing is the winter program:January 24, “Proust” led by NortonKrieger, a prominent young Chicagocritic.

Feb¬ruary 28, “W. H. Anden, StephenSpenser, C. Way Lewis,” led by Krie¬ger. Casting about for means to in¬crease the content of its treasury, theStudent Settlement Board yesterdayconsidered five money gatheringprojects.The first proposition is being con¬ducted in cooperation with the Ma¬roon.Petitions are being circulated aboutcampus to test the advisability of in¬stalling candy canteens in variousbuildings. Ten percent of the profitswill be handed over to the Board, ifthe plan is accepted.Call Student TalentSecondly, the Settlement League,an auxiliary group composed of fac¬ulty wives, is rehearsing their annualbenefit performance to be given Feb¬ruary 9. Student performers are re¬quested to audition for positions onthe program, which is similar to arestrained adult Mirror show.The third method is to openly so¬licit c-ash donations from clubs, fra¬ternities, and campus organizations.Usually such an action would havebeen taken before Christmas vaca¬tion, but in the rush of detail thematter was overlooked. Now the be¬lated attempt comes in the form ofan appeal to necessity.I‘ul.se OfferPulse has advanced the idea thatthe Settlement Board put on a salesdrive for that magazine when itsnext issue appears. On each salemade by a board member three centswill be turned over to the charity or¬ganization’s coffers.The least probable but most spec¬tacular move would bring JimmyDorsey and Orrin Tucker to thecampus for a .swing saga April 5.Grant .Adams, swing dilletante ex¬traordinary, authored the plan lastyear when he imported Stuff Smithand several others to Mandel Hallfor a swing session that was artisti¬cally successful but financially a flop.He had planned to play Dorsey andTucker in opposition to the Browderspeech on the day the latter was tohave appeared. The funds from the.session were to go to the Finnish re¬lief fund. Now, however, the post¬ponement entails changes whichwould bring to the Settlement boarda high return. Red, White,-Blues ForPromenade“Red, White, and Blue and JimmyDorsey forever is the theme of theWashington Prom this year, with adistinct retrogression to the good oldcolonial days,” the Washington PromCommittee via Johnny Bex announcedlast night.

Dr. Gerth said, al¬most half of the Nazis were underthirty, but this is no longer true.Since 1935, “experienced” men intheir forties and fifties have joinedthe party in great numbers.The party’s bureaucratic aspectenhances its appeal to potential re Anacronistic in the surroundings,however, will be Dorsey’s blonde andplenty modern singer Helen O’Connellwho publicity men say everybodycalls “Dimples,” but her intimates call’er “Buttonnose.” “Buttonnose” orno she is nationally known as acrackerjack blues and swing singer.On to WashingtonIn colonial times the cry was “thespirit of ’76.” Long before that itwas “Carthage must be destroyed.”Now for the Washington Prom,stooges have been planted in each fra¬ternity to arise at the beginning ofeach meal to cry “The WashingtonProm.” The Prom committee thinksthat the cry will become infectiousand soon all the boys will arise enmasse and shout “The WashingtonProm.” More conservative members,however, feel someone is sure to diefirst.Call SophomoresSophomores who are interested inworking on this spectacle will be cor-raled in the Bartlett Trophy Room,Tuesday at 3:30. Any sophomore,fraternal or otherwise, is eligible towork.For the first time in several years,the Prom will be held off campus.Last year Launceford played in Bart¬lett. This year Dorsey will play inthe more glamorous setting of theLake Shore Athletic Club. Bids are$3.75. Leaders will be announcednext week. Offer Scholarship InCap and Gown ContestVanDorenTalksOn ^^AmericanImagination 99Carl Van Doren, author and editor,will speak on “The American Imag¬ination” in one of the regularly sched¬uled William Vaughn Moody lecturesto be given Thursday, January 25, at8:30 in Mandel hall. Mr. Van Doren,because of his long familiarity withAmerican letters is well qualified togive this lecture.He received his Ph. D. in Englishfrom Columbia in 1911, where hetaught as associate professor until1930. During that time he was an edi¬tor of the Nation, The Literary Guild,and the Cambridge History of Amer¬ican Literature. Among his books areThe American Novel, published in1921, American and British Litera¬ture since 1890, published in 1925,and American Literature—An Intro¬duction, published in 1933. His mostrecent work is a biography of Berjamin Franklin.In his lecture he will draw on hisextensive knowledge of American lit¬erature, .as well as American politicsand history, and outline the processesby which Americans have shapedtheir history to fit their beliefs aboutthemselves, and their desires to pos¬sess those qualities associated withAmericans. This is a new approachto the ever popular psychological anal¬ysis of the American character, re¬duced to terms of common experi¬ence.Tickets may be obtained withoutcharge at the University Informationoffice.

Dean William Randall,who will discuss the student regula¬tions pamphlet, and Miss VivianCarlson of Ida Noyes who will ex¬plain the distribution of room ar¬rangements for clubs and meetings inIda Noyes. Since the purpose of theBWO is to serve as a clearing housefor the probelms that beset campusorganizations, the new experiment, itis believed, will be a valuable one.Barbara Crane has recently beenelected a senior representative to theorganization, and Faith Johnson,member of the Freshman Council anda Sigma pledge, as freshman repre¬sentative.Hillel Seminarness or other complications in the de- ,partment arising from the war in cruits with bureaucratic backgrounds,Europe.

A full tuition scholarship for onequarter will be given by Cap andGown to the first student selling 175Cap & Gown subscriptions before theend of the Winter Quarter, circula¬tion managers announced yesterday.“We realize,” said Paul Florian,Business Associate, “that many de¬serving students at the Universityare having a tough time of it finan¬cially, and feel that by giving a schol¬arship instead of the usual sort ofprize we are doing a fine thing.”Other Cap and Gown officials ex¬pressed opinions that the offer is ahighly benevolent and generous one,befitting the academic and social idealof this University.Cap and Gown heretofore has bait¬ed its sales campaigns with suchglittering offers as radios, cash. Capand Gowns, and other prizes designedto lure ordinarily peaceful studentsinto becoming rabid, relentless sales¬men.Everything GoesThe scholarship contest will be runwith no holds barred. A contestantmay organize or enjoy the backing ofany existing organization, just so heproduces the 175 subscriptions. Asubscription counts if a two dollardown payment has been made, thatis, the full $4.50 does not have to becollected immediately.Cap and Gown editors this year ex¬pect to publish earlier than usual,probably early in May. For this rea¬son the contest must be closed by theend of the quarter. It was also madeclear by Cap and Gown managersthat they will sponsor no other pro¬motional contest this year.ContestantsPersuasive Johnny Bex and CurlyJoe Molkup stand out as potentialwinners. These two have displayedunusual selling abilities in past con¬tests of all sorts, and may generatemore steam than ever for this prize.But 175 Cap and Gowns are a lot ofCap and Gowns. Of course JohnnyVan DeWater, the dean of all sellingcontestants, is still around, althoughhe has probably reached the retire¬ment age.Germ ProvidesScholarshipsAt UniversityPolitical Union’s reorganizationcommittee will today submit to theExecutive Committee a plan designedto encourage the development of par¬ty platforms and a government pro¬gram.

Rubins, John Stevens,Hart Wurzburg, Marian Castleman. Ernest LeiserNight Editor: John StevensBy Special RequestAlmost to the point of weariness, the Ma¬roon has repeated its objections to the recentASU resolutions. In spite of that, it has notyet succeeded in making its position clear oreffective. It seems important, therefore, thatwe answer a letter appearing in today’s paper.The dialogue form, at which we are crudelyunskilled, seems almost demanded by the let¬ter. For no reason at all we shall refer to theletter-writer as End>*mion; to ourselves asEditor.Endymion: In our previous arguments youhave not managed to prove that the ASU isCommunist dominated or that I was wrong incalling you reactionary. You have placed thefirst point on such a subjective footing, how¬ever, that I cannot discuss it with you. Toprove my second point ju.stified I’m* going toask you a few questions.Editor: I’m listening.End.: Is it not reactionary to favor or toact in favor of war unless that war is one thatis likely to prove beneficial to the greatestnumber of people?Ed.: Most people think a reactionary per¬son is one who seeks to undo political progress.I suppose you could call anyone reactionarywho deliberately sought a war harmful tohumanity.End.: Now, is there not a drive by nearlyall reactionary forces in America (and else¬where) to use the Finnish situation to involveAmerica in war?Ed.: I don’t know. What evidence have youfor such a charge? Of course I’ve seen a lotof propaganda for both sides. Whenever thereis a war, don’t belligerents seek what help theycan get? Didn’t sympathisers with Spain andChina try to get aid for these countries?I distrust the precision of your questionprincipally because the Daily Maroon has beenaccused of being part of a “well-organizedcampaign’’ to “drag University of Chicagoyouth into war.’’ Yet I know for certain thatwe are not associated with anything like that;nor had I heard before of the organization ofsuch a drive.End.: Does not American aid to Finlandand American condemnation and moral em¬bargo of Russia tend to help the reactionaryforces which are seeking to involve Americain this war?Ed.: Very probably, if done too strongly.But there might be degrees: there have beenin previous cases. I have not sufficient exactknowledge of the actual complicated and rap¬idly changing international circumstances todetermine whether or how much of this wouldbe safe: nor do I believe you possess this in¬formation either. But I think your question anunjust over-simplification. Anyway, I don’t be¬lieve such expression by the ASU would bepowerful enough to get us in war—it hasn’tbeen before.End.: If what I have said already be true,the o ie question which remains to be asked is:Would an American war for Finland againstRussia be beneficial for humanity? If youranswer is no, it is (juite clear that any policywhich aids Finland and condemns Russia playsinto the hands of reactionaries and tends to areactionary position.Ed.: Of course, I don’t know that all yourpreceding remarks are true. You haven’tproved them, and I haven’t admitted themwithout qualification. Whether or not such awar would be beneficial for humanity woulddepend on the particular circumstances. My jown biases keep me from wholeheartedly de¬claring any wars really beneficial to mankind.I should think such an adjective ought to beapplied only when issues are settled more ra-'tionally. If an American war were necessary— and I hope all effective steps are taken so thatit is not—it might be less harmful to humanityif nations with democratic ideals removed themenace of those totalitarian ones. The wordmenace, of course, is emotional, and your ac¬ceptance of it depends upon whether or notyou agree that democratic ideals are better forhumanity than totalitarian ones. Then too, ac¬cording to my argument, this entrance in thewar would be less harmful to humanity onlyif the democracies won and were able to estab- jlish a true peace. I certainly can’t predict this: jand would not like to see us forced into warunless we had no other choice. In the back ofmy mind a fear lurks that if the totalitariannations conquer the rest of the world, our own ,democracy just won’t have a chance. How are jwe going to work our way out of this?End.: I think I understand. You mean thatwe might at some time find war inevitable andthat you don’t consider it reactionary to facethis possibility realistically. I am shocked tohear that.Ed.: I mean that we ought to do everythingpossible to avoid war: and that for the ASUto be afraid of condemning Russia morally or ofsympathising with Finland is not only unjust:but it is not even a necessary or sufficientmeans of keeping us at peace. I think I cananswer your other objections to my positionif I tell you of a dream I had about you theother night. But now time is getting short:I’ll describe the dream when I see you again.Traveling BazaarBy LEISER and STEVENS(To the ASr, }re apolofiizc.

As the Fiftieth Anniver-sarys draws nigh, these articlesprmted from time to time will en¬deavour to bring to the attention ofthe campus The Significant Moments.Hutchins is not the first Universityof Chicago president to draw pressattention by his comment on the ath¬letic situation. In 1896 William Rain¬ey Harper said, “The University of('hicajjo is and will continue to be, thefirm friend and advocate of athleticsports. Personally I have not theslightest sympathy with the cryagainst college athletics.“No student who does not standhigh in his classes can be a memberof any university team, no matterhow proficient he may be in a purelyphysical sense. This is the inflexiblerule. Our theory is that by emphasiz¬ing physical culture we accomplishtwo things."First, prevent that immorality androwdyism among students which fif¬teen years agt) was common, and forwhich excuses were invented. Second,give these young men and womenstrong physical bodies, and fit themnot only for mental training, but forthe struggle of life.“It is our aim to locate and>trengthen bodily weaknesses. Thoughthe University of Chicago is yet in itsinfancy, through its instrumentalitymany a young man and many a youngwoman has been saved fiom a life ofI'hysical torture through our .systemof exercise and training.“Health is a matter of the firstconsideration, and it is the aim of thisinstitution to rival any in that branchof culture which pr«»duces strong menand strong, healthy women.”Sr/ Dates for(.otn prehensivesRegistration for comprehensive ex¬aminations to be given in the WinterQuarter closes February 1.

Ninety-seven percent ofall German teachers are members ofthe party or of its affiliates.“Among the leading former school¬teachers are; Reichsminister Bern-hard Rust; Jew-baiter Julius Strei-cher; the Sudeten Geiman leader,Konrad Henlein; and the .secret po-,lice and Elite Guard head, Heinrich jHimmler. Altogether, 160,000 political ^functionaries, leaders anct subleaders jrecruited from the ranks of teachers,mainly the elementary teachers.”Wheat Germ—(Continued from page one)cording to McFadden white bread isresponsible for the decay of modern ;man.

Be¬cause while “A Metropolitan Libraryin Action” looks critically at the Chi¬cago Public Library, its criticism isnot devastating, but rather careful,moderate, and constructive.The book, another in the Press se¬ries on Library Science, was writtenby Carleton Joeckel, professor of Li¬brary Science, both University facultybrary Science, and Leon Carnovsky,assistant professor of Library Sci¬ence, both University faculty mem¬bers. It was one of the first com¬prehensive works on library scienceever written.Cover All Pha.sesFormerly the works on library sci¬ence, including the books put out bythe Chicago Press, have been more orless specialized, but Joeckel and Car¬novsky’ survey of the Chicago PublicLibrary system, examines all thephases of the workings of a library.The co-authors discover some inter¬esting incidental facts in their survey.Not only does the fact that 60 percent of the adult population of Chi¬cago have had only a grammar schooleducation affect the library circula¬tion, but it is important in considera¬tions of political administration, andin planning education.Letters to theEditorB«»ard of Control,Daily Maroon:Thank you for your lovely editorial,“Dripping With Gore”, anent my let¬ter.I did not wish to imply that I ques¬tioned your facts, such as they were.I merely questioned the ommissionand interpretation of facts.As nearly as I can tabulate them,the two points of controversy remain¬ing have been, then:1) communist-domination2) whether condemning Russia andnot condemning Finland is conduciveto a reactionary position.My letter objected to the insinuationthat the American Student Union isCommunist-dominated. The Maroonnow states that the program of theAmerican Student Union makes itlook Communist-dominated. That ispurely subjective reaction that can¬not be proved nor refuted by fact andhence cannot be argued objectively. The first half of the study dealswith problems of library organizationand administration, the history, gov¬ernment, finance, and personnel prob¬lems of the library. The latter halfexamines into library service, thebranch system, book collection, thelibrary and the school, the libi-ary asan agency of adult education, and li¬brary relationships in the Chicagometropolitan area.Since there is no general textbookin the field of public library admini¬stration, this book, although not writ¬ten in text form, may be used as atext in library administration courses.City Manager YouthChibs HoldDance at AragonThe Chicago City Manager Com¬mittee and its young people’s clubshave taken a leaf from the successstories of the more orthodox politicalparties and are planning a huge en¬tertainment and celebration at theAragon ballroom, Lawrence andBroadway, on the evening of Thurs¬day, February 1.Henry E. Schlieske, 35.37 West62nd Street, chairman of the dancecommittee, has announced that theevening will be all entertainment andthat there will be no speeches. Pro¬ceeds from the ball, which is expectedto draw 5,000 boosters of the Man¬ager Plan will go to the clubs back¬ing the city manager campaign in allthe wards of Chicago.Continuous music will be providedby two orchestras, Dick Jurgens andhis famous band, and the all-girl or¬chestra of Helen Kole. A special at¬traction of the evening will be theaward of a round-trip ticket to theMardi Gras to .some individual pres¬ent holding the lucky ticket number.demn aggression when all of theabove circumstances were true, name¬ly:American entry into1) the war being detrimental tohumanity.2) a drive by reactionary forces tou.se the situation to involve Americain the war.3) a situation where American aidto the victim of aggression and Amer¬ican condemnation of the aggressorplayed into the hands of reactionaryforces seeking to involve America inthe war.You refute all this, ami even Platowill kneel before you. Until youchange your opinion, or refute allthis, liberals will continue to be jus¬tified in calling your position onethat is highly conducive to reaction.Hugh WestonHence theie seems to be one lastissue which we can still dispute ob¬jectively: whether condemning Rus¬sia or not condemning Finland isconducive to a reactionary position(as I did imleed imply).Let us resort to some Platonic dia¬lectic and see if we cannot clarifytills issue.P'irst, is it not reactionary to favoror to act in favor of war unless thatwar is one that is likely to jirove bene¬ficial to the greatest number of peo¬ple?1 think you will agree that suchwould be reactionary.Now, is there not a drive by nearlyall leactionary forces in America(and elsew’here) to use the Finnishsituation to involve America in w'ar?If there is disagreement here, Ishould be happy to argue the point.And does not American aid to Fin-laml and American condemnation andmoral embargo of Russia tend to helpthe reactionary forces which are seek¬ing to involve America in this war?(I trust that I am justified in im¬puting to the Maroon a desire to aidFinland and morally embargo Rus¬sia) .Then, if all the above be true, theone question which remains to beasked is: Would an American warfor Finland against Russia be bene¬ficial for humanity?And if the answer to this is no,then it is quite clear that any policywhich aids Finlaml and condemnsRussia plays into the hands of thereactionaries, tends to a reactionaryposition, for it tends to involve Uni-veisity of Chicago youth in war.It will of course be objected thatthe ASU has condemned aggressionin the past.

Though progress has beenmade toward solving the legal prob¬lems of master-servant, employer-employee, husband-wife, and parent-child relationships, the social workerstill finds the laws pertaining tothem unsatisfactory, for the mostpart, she said.Professor Breckinridge emphasized,however, the difficulties presented bythe current methods of judicial pro¬cedure. Before the Juvenile Courtplan, for example, could be put intoeffect it had to be taken from thecontrol of the criminal courts. But inj some states this move was opposedwith great vigor by members of thelegal profession. Speaking of theseI problems, the speaker pointed to thej legal perjury often found in divorceI cases as an example of the results offaculty social laws and legal pro¬cesses relating to them.Though the social worker sees theevils of many of our present sociallaws. Professor Breckinridge said,he cannot suggest a substantial road from where we are in regard to oursocial legislation to where he wouldlike to have us be. But, she continued,at least there should be a continuityin matters of social law that is nowlacking.Yntema Reports toNational CommitteeTheodore O.

It is estimated that ten ormore eligibles would have to reportbefore puck chasing could be formal¬ly recognized as a part of the Maroonathletic department.Nevertheless, about fifteen or twen¬ty devotees of the game, who rangeall the way from neophyte freshmento men working for their Ph D’s aretrying, despite intramurals and thecompetition from other sports, towhip an informal outfit into shape inorder that they may schedule games.Of these, the most loyal are CraigMclvor, Bob Herschel, “Stan” Stan-wood, and Jake Pfender, all of whomhave been informally representingthe University on the ice for threeyears or more.First Team MenThree sophomores round out thetentative first team, for Stuart Bern-stien plays defense with Mclvor, andeither Bob W’eiland or Les Dean isthe center on a line which includesStanwood at right wing and Herschelat left. Pfender has tended the team’snets for four years. ' In addition to the two second yearI men, five more undergraduates arei nominally out for hockey, but have as‘ yet failed to report for enough of the; practices to be regarded as teami members. They are Chuck Pfeiffer,Johnny Palmer, Bob Kibele, PeteBriggs, and Jack Campbell, all ofI whom have had some experience atI the game and are expected to bolster■ the squad considerably when they re-; port for active duty.i Need Freshmeni Only two freshmen are regular re-: porters at practice, although numer-! ous others signed up as hockey can-■ didates for the sport. Paul Jones andEd Storer, however, are the only onesrepresenting the class of ’43 on theice. Dave Solomon is numbered amongthe graduates.T. Nelson Metcalf, director of ath¬letics, has written to Notre Dame and! Illinois asking them to schedule gameswith the embryonic Maroon pucksters,but as yet no replies have been re¬ceived. If the athletic department con¬siders the team adequate, Hoffer is 1planning to accept the offer which the |Broadmoor Hotel made last fall to jpay the travelling expenses for a;twelve man squad to go out to Colo-'rado Springs to play one of the col¬lege sextets there on the Broadmoorrink. Hoffer does not think that theMaroons would necessarily have toput an eligible team on the ice; hehopes that Broadmoor will be willingto let any and all bona fide students iplay. I Fitting completely into the spiritof the room is the quiet, almost jgloomy, atmosphere, which is very!conducive to meditation. Steppingin here is like going backwards in:time and living again the great vie- itories which were once the accepted jlot of this university. It is almost as ,though the room were sacred; veryseldom is it profaned with noise, jThere is shouting and the thud of Ibasketballs from the gym upstairs !and more shouting and splashing ‘from the near-by pool, but in the |trophy room all is serene and still, a jmonument to the achievements of |men who believed that athletics and jeducation could mix successfully andthen went out and proved it. ^ PIPE SMOKERS, ATTENTIONGet Your Tobacco Direct from Factory.Specialists in High Grade MixturesM.
