Vol. 40, No. 58 Z-149 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 24, 1940 Price Three CentsBullSession* * *By JOSHUA JACOBS(This article is written in connec¬tion with the Political Union discus¬sion that will take place Thursday).Aside from moral considerationthe United States government shouldmake the proposed sixty million dol¬lar loan to Finland if it wishes to actin the interest of the American peo¬ple. The present Russian governmen¬tal policy and the identical new“ideals” of all Communists are di¬rected toward the territorial expan¬sion of Communist control every¬where by the methods of Russianmilitary aggression from withoutand/or Communist revolution fromwithin. This seems clear from Rus¬sia’s recent aggressions and militarythreats and from the new party line.Hence, a materially stronger Russiamay eventually become a threat tothe United States, and therefore ourgovernment should take steps, shortof war or internationally illegal acts,to check this aggression, slow' it up,or weaken it. Thus, the proposedloan to Finland, although too smallto have very marked effects, would,nevertheless, help toward curbingRussia. The Communist threat to theUnited States is by no means such animaginary possibility. Russia can be¬come very powerful by accumulatingsmall acquisitions now and by pro- Students FormEichner ClubIn Fifth WardDouglas Gives Supportto Democratic Commit-tee Candidate.To support the candidacy of DavidEichner for the office of Democraticcommitteeman from the Fifth Ward,University students plan to organizea club, the Maroon learned yesterday.The formation of the Universityorganization marks the culminationof a growing interest in practicalpolitics on the campus in the last fewyears. Student and faculty interesthas been running high since threemen, the late “Teddy” Linn, PaulDouglas, and T. V. Smith, were elect¬ed to state, local and national officerespectively. With Smith and Doug¬las still in office, students are awak¬ening to the necessity of startingwith the party leaders in their effortto clean up polities.Douglas SupportEichner has the whole-heartedsupport of Alderman Douglas. Anexperienced politician, F]ichner hasoffered Douglas aid and given himsound political advice in the past, andin gratitude and in the belief thatEichner is by far the best man forthe job, Douglas is backing him. Thecommitteeman will be elected at theyoking and directing revolutions laterin countries that shall have becomeimpoverished by the war. After shehas achieved control of Europe w’emay be forced to establish regimen¬tation leading to Fascism here, in or¬der to prepare for w’ar against herand to avoid internal Russian-sup-))orted revolution. In the end wemight have to fight a difficult defen¬sive war, made even more difficult byforeign-supported Communists in thiscountry. Whenever a nation with anexpansionist philosophy achievesgreat material power it w'ill proceedtoward w’orld conquest until checkedby superior force. It is only in aworld of peaceful non-expandingcountries such as Finland that anycountry, including the United Statescan feel secure.Aid to Finland would also hamperGermany, which is another danger¬ous anti-democratic expansionist na¬tion, for if Russia has difficulty in itswar with Finland it will be less ableto supply the materials that Ger¬many needs.Besides the above practical reasonsfor granting a loan to Finland thereare also very potent ethical andmoral reasons. If we believe in de¬mocracy for ourselves, as we all claimto do, it is because we believe thatthe ideals embodied in that form ofgovernment are just and worthwhile.Hence, we ought to be willing tomake sacrifices to help another de¬mocracy that is struggling to pre¬serve the operation of those sameideals.Closely allied to democracy is theright of national self-determination.This right of the Finns has beenthreatened by a treaty-violatingarmed aggression. Therefore, thosebelieving in the justice of self-de¬termination have the obligation ofhelping Finland.We should also be anxious to giveaid to alleviate human sufferingwherever that help is most needed.The suffering in Finland is certainlygreater than any in the UnitedStates at present, for although wehave a depression with serious un¬employment, we do not have bombsexploding in residential districts orthe need to give up normal consumersupplies because of a war emergency.Since the terms of the proposed loaninsist that it can not be used formilitary purposes it will all go to¬ward the necessities of life.Furthermore, a refusal to grant aloan to Finland would be a penaltyagainst that country for its honestyand good faith, for if Finland hadfollowed the precedent of our otherdebtors and had not paid her debts,she would have had more funds nowfor her present urgent needs. The on¬ly way that we could avoid such aninjustice as a penalty for honestywould be to grant a loan.Although this proposed loan is toosmall to have very great effects,nevertheless, its help toward hinder¬ing Communism’s drive against de¬mocracy, and the moral principles ofnumanitarianism, self-determination, primaries this spring.The organization is being formedbecause of the growing belief that inChicago at least there are greaterdifferences within the Democraticparty than between parties.Need Capable I’arty MenDouglas is throwing his support toEichner becau.se he feels the necessityfor securing capable party leaders.He says that “the committeeman isthe most important political figure inhis conmniTiity, since he has so muchto do in the people’s selection of theirhigher political leaders, and it is ab¬solutely essential to get the be.st manfor the job.”PU Considers FinnCrisis^ Plntforms^ReorganizationPolitical Union members meet inLaw North tomorrow at 8:30 to dis¬cuss reorganization, the Finnishcri.ses, and party platforms.The reorganization plan includesthe creation ami defense of a platformby the party in power. The samegroup will also choose a cabinet thatwill act as the governing body. Eachof the minority parties will attackthe majority platform and at thesame time defend their own plat¬forms.It is anticipated that the Finnishcrises will be dealt with by the pro¬posal of a bill that will principallyconsist of a resolution indicating thatthe Political Union will favor a 50million dollar loan to Finland.Party platforms will be discussedin order that the different partiesmay be better defined for the comingcampus election to determine partyquotas. Such discussion will evolvefrom a questionnaire on 20 topicsdealing with current political events.Round Table Hits NewHigh in CoverageAnother new high in network cov¬erage gives the University of Chi¬cago Round Table probably the largestchain of any educational program onthe air today. Latest reports bringthe total to 82 stations which carrythe program each Sunday at broad¬cast time, while three additional sta¬tions because of previous commercialcommitments, cut transcriptions forpresentation later in the day.This latest extension of the RoundTable’s network more than doublesthe number of stations which carriedthe program two years ago. TheRound Table looks forward to itsninth anniversary celebration nextmonth with the largest network andaudience in its history.and democracy by far outweigh thepossible loss from a small speculativematerial investment. Kuh, Myers, Pfeiffer, ReynoldsLead Washington PromPaul DouglasDouglas OpenFor HecklersAt “Town Hall”The third of a series of TownMeetings for citizens of the FifthWard will be held tonight at 8 atthe Woodlawn Public Libary, 6247South Woodlawn.Because he believes that the townmeeting was “democracy at its best”Paul Douglas promised the citizensthat if he were elected alderman, hewould sponsor the meeting to clarifypolitical issues, and to promote dis¬cussion among the people.Two MeetingsThe first Town meeting was heldin the Unitarian Church. The secondone, an even greater success, was heldin the Carter School on the West Sideof the Ward.This meeting will discuss the re¬cent issues raised by Douglas in theCouncil. The Alderman will answerquestions on the city budget, thetraction problem, and the reliefproblem.True to town meeting tradition,hecklers are welcome, and the Wardcitizens are especially invited todamn their repi’esentative with alltheir might.Students DiscussMarriage CourseTo discuss the possibilities of con¬ducting a series of courses on mar¬riage problems the Chapel Unionboard yesterday called a meeting ofrepresentatives from eight campusorganizations and other intei'estedstudents. The representatives appearto have been about unanimouslyagreed that such a course would beof definite value.A committee has been set up un¬der the temporary chairmanship ofWebb Fiser to arrange for a seriesof five lectures which will probablybe given during the latter part ofFebruary and the beginning of nextquarter. Anyone interested in work¬ing on this committee should call theChapel office or contact Fiser.About two years ago Chapel Unionconducted a similar course which at¬tracted wide interest both on and offcampus.Mirror PostersPoster and program designs forMirror are to be turned in byFebruary 1. Two-color designs,preferably 7x11 or 11x14, with aSouth American theme are wanted.They may be turned in to any Mir¬ror Board member or left in theDA office in Mitchell Tower. Herma ClarkRecreates ^%ayNineties”ToniteWhen Herma Clark, humorist andcolumnist, comes to the campus thisevening to recreate the “NotableNineties” she will bring along 65 or70 slides worth their weight in gold,say Pulse promoters.Collecting these rare old slides re¬quired untold trouble, ingenuity andtravel on the part of Herma. Scenesof celebrities, of events, of John L.Sullivan, from the wildest of Ameri¬can decades make up the novel collec¬tion.Rather than merely explain thepictures as she lectures. Miss Clarkhas written her copy in the form ofletters which refer to what is appear¬ing on the screen. She obtained ma¬terial for her letters from actual let¬ters written back in those gay days.Scenes of the University and itsgreats in the good old days will beamong the features. In those daysthe University was but a new borninfant. Exhuberent President Harperwas busily chasing John D.’s dollars,while pretty co-eds wore bustles andstudied Latin.Backers promise hilarious enter¬tainment, but that strict moralitywill be observed throughout. “It willbe just like a good show that you cantake your best girl to,” says EmilHersch, “there won’t be a light inthe place.”A percentage of the proceeds fromthe lecture will be contributed to thefund being raised by the 50th Anni¬versary Celebration according to theeditors of Pulse. The show will beginat 8, in Mandel Hall instead of 8:30as announced by publicity posters.The cost of tickets is 55c.SettlementLeague GivesMelodramaThe Settlement League, a group offaculty wives organized to supple¬ment the work of the Student Settle¬ment Board, has gone into productionon its annual show scheduled forFebruary 9 with Mesdames CharlesCoulter and Paul R. Cannon direct¬ing.Characterized as an adult Mirrorby Marge Kuh, head of the Settle¬ment Board, the wives are going infor gas light melodrama this yearwith a play called “The Widow’sPlight, or Virtue Victorious”.The aim is to burlesque stuffy andinconvenient conventions that havecarried over from the gay nineties.Ham acting, purposely intended orotherwise, will be the tone of the play.The list of characters: Dick Salz-man has been handed the role ofTobias Trout, small town hero. BillHochman will cavort as BludsoeHeartensole, the mustachioed villain,the Kuhs, Marge and Betsy will playthe suffering mother and heroinerespectively. The heroine’s daughterwill be played by Elinor Schulz, andDick Himmel rounds out the cast asfather of the hero.Discuss New StudentPlan at Forum“New Program for StudentThought and Action” is the topic tobe discussed at the regular Wednes¬day meeting of the Student Forum inLexington 5 at 4. Purnell Benson,Joe Rosenstein, and Hugh Westonwill present eight minute speecheson the problem. After they finish, theaudience and the speakers will par¬ticipate in a general discussion.Blanche Romer, Bill Durka, andJoe Molkup will give a Round Tablediscussion before the Plebian Forum,34 S. Peoria, at 8 tonight. The Forummembers will discuss, “Civil Liber¬ties.” According to unimpeachablesources, the S. Peoria boys, of radicaltincture, will attempt to show thatEarl Browder, secretary of the Com¬munist party, was deprived of hiscivil liberties in the passport case.

Hisfamed blonde songstress, who accord¬ing to Prom Committeman JohnnyBex, is “.. .a treat for your eyes anda joy to your ears,” will provide thevocal entertainment.Besides being an excellent orches¬tra leader and saxophonist, Dorseyhas a good character. He helps oldladies across the street and does agood deed daily. Occasionally hehelps a young lady across the street.One year he supported an entire op¬pressed family in Austria. His char¬acter, as Johnny Bex says, “Is strict¬ly the best.”Middledorf IsNew Curator AtArt InstituteUlrich A. Middledorf, associateprofessor and chairman of the de¬partment of Art, has just been ap¬pointed Honorary Curator of Sculp¬ture at the Art Institute. The ap¬pointment comes to Professor Middle¬dorf, one of the few experts in theUnited States on sculpture and draw¬ings, primarily as a result of his longand excellent work in preparing theWilliam F. Gurley collection of draw¬ings for exhibition. He replaces Mr.Rich, who is now Curator of Paint¬ing.The Gurley collection is one of themost complete such collections in theworld, but until recently has beenburied in the Institute’s vaults be¬cause of the lack of sufficiently ex¬pert hands needed to select and pre¬pare it for exhibition. Professor Mid¬dledorf recently stated that hethought students should take moreadvantage of the Art Institute whichhas greatly cooperated with the uni¬versity.Slavonic Club GivesCostume Party at IdaWith Russian refreshments and aSlavonic folk orchestra playing A-merican and European dance tunes,the Slavonic Club of the Universityis giving a costume dance Saturdayevening from 8 to 12.

Especially those who have devoted mostof their hours to study, and yet haven’t enoughmoney to continue their academic careers, areat a loss. The Gothic cloisters of these quad¬rangles will no longer cast the most importantshadows on their lives: they will have to getalong in an unprotected world where the stand¬ards of success aren’t intellectual ones. Andthey won’t have been trained to do this.This is no criticism of the University. Byits very nature, an intellectual institution isexcused from giving vocational training. Inour society it would be almost impossible fora school to produce true scholars while it triesat the same time to turn out successful busi¬ness men. The University of Chicago is knownfor persisting in its attempts to develop schol¬ars. Enough business schools, barber colleges,and charm schools already over-run thiscountry.The fact remains, however, that a Univer¬sity education may be rather hard on the peo¬ple who have to leave when graduation timecomes. Despite any fine ideals they may haveabsorbed about education and the intellectuallife, they still must solve the immediate prac¬tical problem of getting a job. If the Board ofVocational Guidance has no requests for what¬ever kind of work they can do, they will haveto look for work elsewhere. But thousands ofother young men and women, better trained intechniques of job-getting and in ways andmeans of putting themselves across, are seek¬ing positions also.The newly-formed Senior Job Councilshould be one means of meeting this situation.At least, it should answer complaints that noUniversity organization does anything for thestudents’ practical welfare. Organized to givegraduates a chance to get information aboutopportunities in the business world as well asto let them know about the best tricks fortaking advantage of these opportunities, theCouncil, if it does its work well, should providethat kind of practical education which evenintellectuals need if they want to get alongin the world. Then, it will be up to the stu¬dents to take advantage of the Council’s pro¬gram. Unfortunately, however, the Council’ssessions are for men only.What about the women? They have to getalong in the world, too. University women per¬haps even more than University men need tofind out ways and means of getting jobs.Though the nineteenth amendment may bealmost old enough to vote, it is still far moredifficult for even well-trained women to getwork than it is for less highly qualified men.All the more, therefore, are women in need ofwhatever information or training will helpthem break down barriers to jobs.Several years ago Women’s Conferences,where outstanding career women spoke to anysenior girls interested, were annual events.These Conferences were abandoned because ofextremely poor attendance; but lack of attend¬ance didn’t necessarily indicate lack of interestin business opportunities; it may have showedonly that the Conferences were not managedso as to be sufficiently valuable in serving theirpurposes, or that not enough people knew aboutthem. Certainly, it would be overly optimisticto say that women at this school aren’t thekind who have to worry about getting jobs.University women are noted neither for greatwealth which puts sordid financial matters for¬ever out of their lives; nor for an overwhelm¬ing charm which makes rich husbands and Traveling BazaarBy PIERPONT POTSCHKEDry Like A Gamers BackContrary to campus wags and Psi Us, the MortarBoard party Friday night was not very wet at all,and contrary to Florian and Ruml’s report, I was seeingas clear I do at a first rate burlesque which the MBparty obviously wasn’t.!

Not long afterthe turn of the twentieth century, in’09 to be exact, comment was made inthe press about the “U. of C. helpingSocialism.” As was reported at thattime, “Socialism is spreading at theUniversity of Chicago. At that time aclub was formed among the under¬graduates, the aim of which accord¬ing to the constitution, was to es¬tablish in the University a center forSocialist thought and activity.« DC «That the Constitution is obsoletehas been heard quite frequently inthe past few years, but in 1909 thiswas a startling declaration, as wasevidenced by the wide press com¬ment. “The Chicago University pro¬fessors have decided that the Consti¬tution is obselete. What will the in¬stitution headed by freak educatorsthink of next.”* * *A keen measure of the fame andprestige of the University of Chicagocan be gained by examining the na¬tion’s press’ comments since thefounding.

The Commission onthe relation of schools and colleges ofthe Association is now in its seventhyear and has published a “Report onthe College Success of Students fromTwo Selected Groups of Schools inthe Eight Year Study.”University High, Francis Parker,! New Trier, and North Shore CountryDay are the schools in this area par-I ticipating in the plan which is con¬cerned with three major tasks. Thefirst of these is working in the schoolsin connection with curriculum analysisand its consequences.Tyler DirectsThe last two, which are under thedirection of Ralf W. Tyler, professorand Chairman of the Department ofEducation, are evaluation of theschools (making new types of tests inan effort to get better understandingof the student and his achievements),and evaluation in colleges.William E. Scott, Assistant Profes¬sor of Education and one of the col¬lege representatives of the Commis¬sion remarked, “T h e preliminaryanalysis indicates quite clearly thatgraduates of the 34 schools participat¬ing do at least as well as the grad¬uates of other schools, in terms of thestandards of success, and there is evi¬dence that graduates of some schoolsthat have gone farthest from thetraditional pattern do conspicuouslybetter when they get to college.”Greater SuccessPaul B.

Dean Mitchell was theirguest.That night the eighteen chartermembers were guests of Mr. and Mrs.Rovetta at a wiener roast. It wasthen that officers were selected. CraigMoore was elected Chairman of theAssociates, and Bernard Gourw’itzwas made Treasurer. Mr. Rovettawas unanimously made faculty ad¬visor.The group of students has severaldefinite objectives besides the socialdesirability of organization amongmen of common interests living to¬gether. First, to become better ac¬quainted with the members of theSchool of Business faculty than ispossible in the classroom; second,to invite businessmen from represen¬tative industries of Chicago to visitthe residence halls and speak in¬formally to the group; third, to makeindustrial field trips to get a pi-ac-tical view of different manufacturingprocesses.continued, “Progressive students havedone a little better than students withwhom they were compared and theyhave shown considerable more inter¬est in intellectual activity in readingand research than those with whomthey were compared.”BKT.V TE.V D.ANCEThe Beta radio tea dance for allUniversity fraternity pledges, fra¬ternity officer.s, and their dateswill be held today in the chapterhouse from 3:30 until 6.
