To discuM the reorganizationplan and pass amendments concern¬ing it.2. To draw up party platforms foreach party so that the ultimate aimsof each party will be clear to votersin the pending campus election.3. To engage in a limited discus¬sion on the Finnish crisis.The reorganization plan, the de¬tails of which have not yet been com¬pletely worked out, was evolved tostimulate more thorough and consist¬ent thought among the various par¬ties that comprise the Union.It is the concensus of those high inpolitical circles that the Finnishproblem will be dealt with by thepassing of a resolution favoring a 60million dollar loan to Finland. Al¬though the radicals, especially thecommunists, will probably oppose theresolution, it is expected to be passedwithout difficulty.Party platforms will be drawn upwith the assistance of a questionnaireon 20 topics dealing with current po¬litical events, such as the AAA, theWaggoner Act, and the third term. Discuss TreatyRelations InPeace Council Carl VanDorenLectures InMandelTonightSurvey CouplesPoverty WithViciousDiseasesDo the wealthy have a betterchance of living longer than thepoor? That there seems to be a vic¬ious affinity between diseases andpoverty was brought out in a surveyof all deaths occurring in the cityover a five year period, which servesas a basis for a thesis written byLola May Convis, research assistantto William F. Ogburn. The originaltabulating was done by the W.P.A.All deaths were classified accordingto the rental of the habitation of theperson at the time of the death.Rental groups were divided intothose under $30, from $30 to $46,from $46 to $60, from $60 to $76,and $76 and up. The actual income ofthe persons could not be obtained andthis method was considered the nextl)est. The city is divided into 700 ren¬tal tracts, the average rental ofwhich has been determined so thatthe rental of any address can beapproximated.Highly ReliableThe age factor was standarized tohold the age distribution in the pop¬ulation constant. The very largenumber of cases, particularly in thecase of the native male whites, makesthe data very reliable, whereas asmaller number of deaths in the na¬tive white females, and in the for¬eign whites and the negroes, maleand female, tend to make these fig¬ures somewhat less reliable. The rel¬ative differences of numbers in eachrental groups were also standardized.That the wealthy have a longerlife expectancy than the poor wasseen principally in two charts, onecontaining the deaths due to ac¬cidents and the other due to infec¬tious diseases. In these charts thenumber of deaths sharply decreasedas the rent paid increased showingthat the poorer the person the great¬er the chance of dying from eitherof these causes.Nerves Get The RichAmong the male white diseases ofthe nervous system cause more(Continued on page three) “Shall the United States Now Re¬new Its Treaty Relations with Ja¬pan?” This is ths question beforethe Congress of the United States to¬morrow, and is also the question to bediscussed by Professor Harley F.McNair before the Campus PeaceCouncil today.McNair, whose field is Far-EasternHistory and Institutions, has been inJapan and elsewhere in the Far-East,and will be able to give an authori¬tative view of the situation as itstands before Congress. The dollarfor dollar trade agreement betweenthe United States and Japan expirestomorrow, after having been con¬demned last June with the requiredsix months notice. Since a largeamount of Japanese war supplies suchas munitions and pig iron are pur¬chased from the U.S., the Japs willbe greatly handicapped in theiravowed purpose of a quick victory inChina when these supplies are cutoff. Up to this time, Japan has beenpaying for her supplies by exportingto the U.S. Japan’s ability to pay forher munitions in gold is doubtfulIf the trade agreement is allowedto expire, tariffs will again keep Jap¬anese products out of the U.S., asthey did before the agreement. Japanwould then find it impossible to buyAmerican munitions and pig-iron.Congress will probably see fit to sitback and await action by Japan. Inorder to keep the treaty, as she de¬sires, Japan must make concessionsto the U.S. in China. In other words,the U.S. will no longer have a tradeagreement with Japan unless the Jap¬anese are willing to guarantee theOpen Door policy in China.Professor McNair will explain thisproblem today in Social Sciences 122at 3:30.

RUBINSSince the inauguration of thegroup medicine arrangement at Stu¬dent Health this year the general im¬pression of the staff members is thatthere has been a definite increase inthe number of students using theservice.This year is the first that studentshave paid a fee for the services ofStudent Health and there may verywell be some, connection between thecharge of three dollars and the in¬crease in the number of people com¬ing to Student Health. In addition tothe increase in work done, anotherdoctor has been appointed to thehealth service staff.Same Need for AdviceDr. Dudley B. Reed, head of stu¬dent health, believes that there hasbeen no appreciable increase ‘in thenumber of people who have come tosee him about general problems. Sincethe beginning of the service, genial“Union Now” FindsSupport on CampusAdvocates of Clarence Streit’s planfor “Union Now” have organized anew campus group — the Interde¬mocracy Federal Unionists which isaffiliated with the international or¬ganization.Officers of the newly-approved so¬ciety are: President, Mary Sher¬man; Secretary-treasurer, Bob Vo¬gel, and Faculty Adviser J. Watkinsof the Political Science department.Walter Laves, associate professorof Political Science, will speak to theUnionists at 8 this evening in SocialScience 122 on “Is Streit’s Plan for‘Union Now’ practical?”The members plan future meetingswith University professors and oth¬ers criticizing the plan—trying to seehow far it is feasible and how theplan might be changed. . Dr. Reed has been an unofficial ad¬visor to numerous students who con¬sult him on problems of physical ormental hygiene.Reed explains the variety of prob¬lems which come to him, and thefrankness of the confidences, on thebasis that students have found thatthese conferences are treated withcomplete secrecy. Another explana¬tion of this situation lies in the factthat people talk more freely to doc¬tors than any other persons.Choose Your DoctorOne thing which most students areunaware of is that a student canchoose any doctor he wants, he neednot feel that he has to go to any onethat is not busy. The Student Healthstaff is composed of about 16 full-fledged doctors from among whomone can pick any particular physician.The old idea of women studentspicking women doctors is outwornaccording to Student Health figures.University women divide their choiceabout half and half between men andwomen doctors. On the other hand,there is a marked increase in thenumber of University men who con¬sult the staff’s female physicians.Students who complain that theyhave to wait for a long time at theHealth Service should remember thatthe light hours for student service isbetween 3:30 and 4:30.Club Women Report toIda Noyes for PicturesClub women who failed to make anappointment to have their picturestaken should go to Ida Noyes Hall,third floor, room B and sit for theCap and Gown photographer beforethis week is over.Also, those who have not returnedtheir proofs should do so as soon aspossible in order to hasten the workof making prints.

Ogburn, Sewell L.Avery distinguished service profes¬sor and chairman of the departmentof sociology of the University, saidin a lecture yesterday in the Lawschool. ^Speaking on “Adoption of theLaw to Society in an Age of RapidSocial Change,” Professor Ogburncited the time-lag between changingconditions and laws governing them,as evidence of the lawyer’s unwill¬ingness to keep up with the times.“The law’s delay” is seen, he said,in legislation such as workmen’s com¬pensation laws which came into be¬ing many years after conditions war¬ranted them.“Hundreds of thousands of work¬men were killed, and millions morewere injured, before their familiescould obtain redress under the Work¬men’s Compensation Law,” ProfessorOgburn recalled.The antiquated laws governingwomen’s rights were mentioned asanother example of legislative law.Such laws, he said, date back to ourearly nomadic life. A further case ofdelay in American law, he said, ishealth insurance legislation, whichwas in effect in some European coun¬tries as early as 1895. Formation of the “Progressive Dem¬ocratic Club” under the leadership ofBob Merriam and composed of Uni¬versity students was announced yes¬terday. The purposes of the clubare to help get David Eichner electedcommitteeman of the Fifth Ward,and to get Ray McKeough re-electedto Congn^ess, and ultimately to keepstudent interest in practical politicsalive and active.Merriam, son of a noted politicianand eminent political scientist, CharlesE. Merriam, is himself a graduatestudent in political science. He is aformer Owl and Serpent man, trackman and a Psi U, and as an under¬graduate was head of the CampusCongress. Any student who wishes tojoin the club can reach him throughI the office of Ward Alderman PaulDouglas at 1464 East 57th Street.Executive CommitteeThe executive committee of thenewly organized club consists of fourmen; besides Merriam, they are DKEmagician and law student WilburJerger, Emmett Deadman, Phi Psiformer Maroon Board chairman, new¬ly returned to the campus to workfor the University, and Grant Adams,son of the campaign manager ofmayoral candidate William Dever.“Organization work will begin atonce,” declared president Merriam,“because we realize that there aretremendous differences within partiestoday, perhaps more than betweenthem in Chicago, we are stressing theimportance of selecting good men inthe primaries. To do this requiresthe work of all citizens, including thevoting student population.”Support Best Men“We have organized the ProgressiveDemocratic Club to support the bestmen for both party and public offices.At this time especially, the necessityfor election of liberal and progressivecandidates is great. Because we feelthat the Ward’s committeeman is im¬portant in determining Hyde Park’spolitical destinies, we are backingEichner and plan to concentrate ourefforts on his election this spring.Probably then we will broaden our ac¬tivity to include other worthy can¬didates.”Chapel Union HasTea With FacultyBy DEMAREST POLACHECKAccording to an anonymous sourcewith good handwriting, the Student-Faculty Committee of the Chapel Un¬ion will hold its quarterly tea thisafternoon from 3:30 to 6:30 in IdaNoyes Library. Our informant, whouses blue ink and writes with a slantto the left, goes on to say that thetea is held in its proposed locationby tradition”, and that all membersof the faculty and student body “arewelcome”.Continuing to coin phrases with al¬most every turn of her (it must be aher) pen, Madame X lets us knowthat “It’s a moot question whether ornot tea will be served (you may haveto drink it from a trough, you tea-hounds), but it’s guaranteed thatthere will be food (italics hers). Phyl¬lis Richards heads the committee andJosephine Beynon and Mary Taft willpour.” Hutchins Or No,Students LearnDish WashingDish washing, bussing, setting ta¬bles, washing pots and pans, servingfood, and the highly technical art ofpeeling potatoes will be taught tostudents in spite of President Hutch¬ins’ opposition to so-called “practicalcourses” in the University curriculum.But it is the Ellis Co-op that hasinaugurated this series of work edu¬cation classes.The classes which are intended tomake the co-op members more effi¬cient and versatile will be under theguidance of Bob Stokley, the co-op’sveteran work manager. According toProfessor Stokley, in addition toteaching the first principles of thesevarious sciences, opportunities forlaboratory work will be provided.Dishwashing and potato peeling con¬tests are expected to increase theenthusiasm of Stokley’s pupils.No TuitionNo tuition will be charged to stu¬dents taking these courses; in factthe present working members of theco-op are required to attend theclasses.The organization of constituencieshas been another innovation. Withthe membership nearing the 200 mark,George Probst, president of the co-op,and the elected assembly began towonder if some of the members werelosing interest in co-operative prob¬lems. In order to eliminate this pos¬sibility, each assembly member hasbeen assigned to a constituency ofabout seven members with ^yhom heis to eat at least once a week-j—to dis¬cuss co-op problems and becOfie bet¬ter acquainted.Page Two^ailg (MaroonFOUNDED IN 1901MEMBER ASSOCIATED COLLEGIATE PRESSThe D«Uy Maroon is the official student newspaper of the Uni-vers)^ of Chicaso, published mornings except Saturday, Sunday andMonday during the Autumn, Winter and Spring quarters by TheDaily Maroon Company, 6881 University avenue.

Rubins, John Stevens,Hart Wurzburg, Marian Castleman, Ernest LeiserNight Editor: Hart WurzburgAssistant: Ruth EarlyTruth and HonorNow that President Hutchins is using hisgreat rhetorical gifts to tell the country howimportant the University of Chicago is as apioneer school; while several of the Univer¬sity’s chief administrative officers are devotingtheir full time to the Fiftieth AnniversaryCelebration, it seems that fund-raising is rap¬idly becoming the most fashionable activityon this campus. It is a necessary activity,moreover; for unless this school gets moremoney soon, it will have to eliminate some ofits enterprises.But it would seem strange to find the Uni¬versity of Chicago plunging wholeheartedlyinto the business of money-getting. Gravedangers lie that way.President Hutchins has found the ability ofendowed institutions to carry on their workunhampered by whatever whims, prejudices,and corruptions may momentarily sway thepeople or their legislatures the chief justifi¬cation for the existence of private schools.Endowed institutions are financially indepen¬dent of popular fancies: they can dare to beprogressive, and get away with it. But whathappens when a private school, fortunateenough in the past to have found patrons whodidn’t attach strings to their gifts, starts run¬ning short of funds?It has to look for money elsewhere. Scruplesof conscience may prevent it from trying toextract exorbitant fees from its students. Orelse, fear that a drive to attract more studentsmight result in lower standards and in studentcontrol of educational policies may keep aschool from attempting to raise money throughincreased enrollment. A school that hesitatesto turn to the students for much of its finan¬cial support must seek, as ours has done, con¬tributions from outside.Somewhere in this country there must bepeople willing and able to come to the aid ofeducational institutions. Those most interestedin the survival of this school should be itsalumni. Yet it is quite possible that manywealthy people who are interested in the Uni¬versity may be swayed by the same whims andprejudices, by the same ill-considered desiresto manipulate educational policy that makeboth state and student control so undesirablefor a progressive school. There is no reason forassuming that just because a few people arerich enough to donate some excess wealth toa private school, they will necessarily be anybetter behaved about interfering with thatschool’s procedures than ordinary citizens areabout the state universities their taxes support.If, in its present drive for funds, the Uni¬versity should find it necessary to make itselfappear attractive to everyone who may pos¬sibly be a prospective donor, it will risk losingthe ideals and the actualities that make itgreat. If, to attract money, it should ever seemadvisable to the administration to make thisschool over so as to hide tactfully our intel¬lectual emphasis and to throw more glamorousshadows over whatever rational activity goeson here; then a telling blow will be dealt tothe progress of American education. It wouldbe far better for the future of human learningfor this school to be forced to cut down onsome of its enterprises than for it to repudiatethe ideals those enterprises stand for.For the University of Chicago to turn itsback on its intellectual traditions would bemore shameful than for any other large schoolto do this. We are a pioneer school, and assuch we are known to the country. Since itwas founded, the University has been famousfor being progressive; and ever since the NewPlan the public has accepted us as intellectual.To try to change now would be even more basethan foolish. It would show more than thepitiful cowardice of a group of misfits whodidn’t have enough virtue to be either scholars‘ or i thletes: it would be a proof that true edu¬ THE DAILY MAROON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 25, 1940cation is impossible in America.It is an insult to the intelligence of Ameri¬can citizens to believe that they will not bewilling to help us unless we cast a syntheticjoy-boy glitter over this campus. Wicked asthe world is, there must still be honest waysof making a living. Let us avoid prostitution.For Quick TurnoverTwo years ago the Maroon was a proudparent of the Political Union. Organized tokeep students alert to issues of the day, theUnion was valuable in promoting intelligentdiscussion.But discussion this year has become lesslively, and not many members have partici¬pated. To encourage more rapid argument,therefore, and to give more people a chanceto talk, a PU committee has suggested reorgan¬ization along British Cabinet lines, rather thanthe old liberal, radical, and conservative divi¬sions.At each meeting, according to this purposedplan, the Government will discuss its stand onpolitical issues, and defend it against the Oppo¬sition. If the Government coalition is unableto justify its policies it will fall, and a newGovernment will be formed. This plan shouldbe far more efficacious in forcing clear and in¬telligent discussion than the old one has been.Certainly, it should give far more people ex¬perience in both asking and answering ques¬tions. Perhaps one of its greatest values willbe in forcing its members to decide each issueon its merits rather than on conventional lib¬eral, conservative, or radical prejudices. Be¬cause the Maroon still feels a fatherly interestin the welfare of PU it hopes this plan will beadopted.Traveling BazaarBy HARMON SCHRIMMERNoiseThere was practically nothing to put in the Bazaaryesterday until the History 201 class at 3:30. Then theroof started falling down—literally. Cocky little in¬structor Hughie Cole, looked up, listened to the dinfrom above, said to the man in the corner, “You go upand tell those janitors, ‘By God, quiet down.’ You looklike the executive type.’’ The man in the corner wasChuck Percy. He went up. The noise continued. Hecame down, grim white lines on his face. The noisecontinued. Cole went up. The noise stopped. Colecame down. The noise started. Maybe they’re neitherof them the executive type.Ixiiormation PleaseWhen he learned that T. V. (tremendous vocabulary)Smith was going to be on Information Please nextweek, Bro Crane’s eminent father, Ronald S. who spendshis spare time chairmanning the English departmentsped to a typewriter, whipped up a set of questions forthe boys to answer, and sent them in air mail. He’ssent questions in before. They haven’t won, but pos¬sessing academic perseverance, he again poured out hisintellect for Canada Dry. When T. V. pours his, hewill be contributing the wisdom and erudition of aPhilosophy professor and a United States representa¬tive. Listen to the bubbles. Even after twenty-fourhours you can hear them.Music SoothesClaire Coci’s recital, as George Peck will undoubt¬edly tell you in Candles and Garlic, was tremendous.Peck’s analysis will undoubtedly be more penetratingthan just to call it “tremendous,’’ but if he doesn’t thinkthat the way she played Widor’s Toccata was perfect,we’ll be slightly heartbroken. The majesty of thechapel, the Chapel Organ, and Mme. Coci’s playing, was—wow! Bob Mohlman, who talked with la Coci afterthe performances, said that the organist is also—wow!Too bad she’s married. David Pletcher was sittingalone and dreamy-eyed, looking as though he liked themusic too.PersecutionFor a week the Maroon has forgotten to print thenames of SAE’s four new pledges. Because we believein the rights of the downtrodden, and because it is self-evident that all men are created members of dormitoryfraternities, they follow herewith:George RomspeckRobert YanceyDonald BergusHarold BaumannIncidentally, if you plan to pledge SAE, you oughtto be warned that the man in the purple pants is anSAE. He is also George Hand, but he isn’t boasting.When spring comes he’s going to wear a green andwhite blazer to match the pants. Draw your own con¬clusions.Sadnesshas come to Dick Salzmann. After pro-ing and con¬ing in the Beezer for the last two times, it was finallyverified that he and Pat Lyding had come to the partingof the ways. Contrary to reports, he is not leaving thecountry to recover. Not contrary to reports, he hasbeen going around looking awfully unhappy.The ZBT’s are not sad, they say. They offer “con¬dolences to Ed Horner for not depledging Pi Lam.”Or vice versa.But Lorraine Polacheck is unhappy. She wantssomething to do. Like taking care of kiddies, especiallysettlement kiddies. A girl has to do something withher afternoons.If Evelyn Johnson isn’t sad she ought to be. Thefreshman queen came in, and asked if some one wouldsend her a Maroon. She had subscribed at the begin¬ning of the year, but had never received a paper. She’sprobably happier. It TakesAll KindsOf PeopleIn 1935 a notorious screwball grad¬uated from Schurz High School. Thisscrewball, who had most of his fun inhigh school when he was depositinghomemade stink-bombs in the class¬rooms, is well known on this campusas the leader of an up-and-comingorchestra.Chuck Towey started his musicalcareer playing the tuba and bass fid¬dle in the Schurz band, but it wasn’tlong before he branched out so thathe now is expert on the trumpet,trombone, sax, English horn, sweetpotato, jugs, and the famous BobBurns gas pipes.After he graduated from highschool, where he earned a commissionas a second lieutenant in the ROTC,he began studying geology with theintention of making it his life work.He went to Southern Illinois to col¬lect fossils from the coal-fields. Therehe supported himself by playing thetuba, bass fiddle, and trombone in aGerman beer garden. His most not¬able exploit in geology was the dis¬covery of a new species of neuro-teris. Towey gave his valuable fossilto Carl Noe, who had it put in theWalker Museum, where it still rests.The next summer he spent in NewEngland with his first orchestra, butthe following year he traveled out toIdaho to prospect for gold and col¬lect fossils. In Rapid City, which isadvertised to tourists as the “Gate¬way to the Black Hills”, his old ja-lopie busted down, and he wasstranded with a half an inch of gasand two bits.Not in the least dismayed by hisdilemma, Towey spent his fortune onfood, left his model T to die a peace¬ful death, and started looking for ajob. By noon he was employed as apainter in a warehouse at $5 a day.On weekends he would travel in¬to the bad lands to collect fossils. Although this fossil collecting wasstarted for scientific reasons. Chucksoon learned that tourists are suckersfor fossils, just as they are for abouteverything else. So he wholesaled hisscientific collection to roadside curiostands and cleaned up several hun¬dred dollars in short order.These mercenary exploits had adefinite effect on Towey’s characterso by the end of the summer he hadabandoned the idea of returning toscliool. After picking up a job in agold and pigmatite mine, he locateda placer gold claim which he workedon the side. He managed to get about$3 a day in gold dust out of his claim.This wasn’t very lucrative, however,until he remembered his former busi¬ness connections with tourists. Hethen had a brainstorm and put $10worth of dust in a bottle and sold itto a tourist as a curiosity for $50.After repeating this process a fewtimes, trying his hand at breaking inhorses on a ranch, and mining pig¬matite again, the temperature drop¬ped to 30 below zero. This was toocold for Chuck so he returned to theU of C, with his geological aspira¬tions behind him and a musical fu¬ture definitely ahead.He now leads a popular swingband, is Business and PersonnelManager of the U of C SymphonyOrchestra, and has the same title inthe Collegium Musicum.ClassifiedTrpins—MEBEzeripto.

The newgymn they are building, called Pat¬ten Gymn II, to replace the originaltom down to make room for the newTechnological Institute now underconstruction, has been designed morefor intramural and general studentusage than to accommodate the moneymaking basketball and track teams.Mrs. F.D.R.

Kissack of theUniversity’s film service produced amovie called “Youth of a Nation,’’which dealt with the problems of thecountry’s youngfsters from the timethey leave high school to their breadwinning days.The telegram read “Film well re¬ceived at White House showing. Con¬gratulations.”T.C.U/s Colors GetState SpreadBy report from the Texas ChristianSkiff we learn that the colors of theFrogtown college. Purple and White,have been chosen to decorate the li¬cense plates of that state for theyear of ’40. Wonder what the boysover at Texas and M. think? Afterall they had the best football team inthe South last season.Harvard Wars onTutoringHarvard has declared an open waron tutoring. That university, saysthe Dean’s office in the Harvard Crim¬son, long battled ineffectively thehigh percentage of outside help re¬ceived by playboy student. At timesas high as 60% of the college tookrecourse to such aid. Now instructorsare being warned to detect exam pa¬pers written with illicit instruction.Evidently the great eastern institu¬tion is bent on erradicating this edu¬cational tumor from the inside. Thefaculty has received two such sets ofinstructions lately.Calls C.A. A.

The section starts with “flinty”and ends with “gold region.”The earliest use of “goatee,” ac¬cording to the dictionary, was in1844 by Lee and Frost in their “His¬tory of Oregon.” The tonsorial in¬novation seems to have been the ob¬ject of fun-making at the time. Theauthors mention that “a few indi¬viduals leave what is called, by theirpoliter neighbors, a 'goaty’ under thechin.”Today on theQuadranglesMoody Lecture: Carl Van Doren:Mandel Hall, 8:30 P.M.Discussion: “Is Clarence K.

Half Burnt PrairieA further description of the growthappeared in 1847, when John S. Robbin his “Squatter Life” related that“a kind of half burnt prairie gar¬nished his chin, which would havemade a very warm-looking goatee, ifit could have been transplanted toone spot.”Symbolic of a democracy, “free” isa popular combinative word in thedictionary. An incidental note is theterm “free lunch,” which had its ori¬gin in 1860 in Harper’s Magazine. Acolorful comparison, from Canfield’snovel, “Maid of Frontier,” describesa fugitive who “melted from sightlike a free lunch before a trampprinter.”Free For AllOther forms of the word, nativeto America, are “free soil,” meaningan area where' slavery is prohibited;“free-thinker,” a man who acceptsno authority in his thinking, espe¬cially along religious lines; “free¬trader,” one who believes that tradeor commerce should be unrestrictedby tariff regulations or customs du¬ties, and “free for all.”The dictionary is being compiledby a staff of University scholars un¬der the supervision of Sir WilliamCraigie and James R.

At the end of theAutumn Quarter, they were leadingthe pack within the neighborhood of170 points; since then, they haveadded the billiards crown to theirgrowing list of conquests, and inview of performances to date, theirbucket ball team is one of the twoor three to watch in the I-M cage cir¬cuit.In number four spot in the stand¬ings at present is Alpha Delta Phi,with two legs on the coveted trophy—three times and out, you know; sothe AD’s are more than just mildlyinterested in copping the Intramuralcrown this year, for they will haveit permanently in that event.* . *ADPhi stakes its all on four eventswhich are to take place this winter.In short, their goal is to rank highin basketball, wrestling, bowling, andtrack... Well, its nice to aim high,anyway.Through a slight error in the in¬ner office of the Intramural depart¬ment, Wally Hebert and the boardhave decided to postpone the begin¬ning of the squash, handball, andbadminton tournaments until the endof the month. It was felt that notenough emphasis was placed on thesesports by the managers in charge ofrecruiting participation in them. It’snot too late; so—On The Ball, men!...Since nominally freshman are for¬bidden to represent their respectivefraternities in Intramural basketball,several houses have started “pledge”teams. Unfortunately, the idea camea little late for many of the boys—they had already contracted to playon dorm or independent teams and sowere ineligible to play for their fra¬ternities.Bowling began yesterday over atCrocombe’s (Cottage & 62nd —•POAM) but at press time last nightthe only available report was theDeke B team had fallen under thedeadly rolling of ZBT by a grandtotal of two pins. Grody, Fox andAronson, representing ZBT “A” nar¬rowly eked out a victory over Wil¬son, Matthews and Warfield.* ♦ ♦That Deke “B”—Psi U “C” gameTuesday was no place for sissies.Little Baird Wallis, the mighty atomfrom Iowa, and Bill Kimball, a bruis¬er from Cleveland blocked (literally)any and all attempts of Dum DumWilson’s boys from over on WoodlawnAlley. On offense, Kimball ran inter¬ference while Wallis carried the ball.The 9-8 score is indicative enough ofthe rough and tumble style of play towhich both outfits resorted. In short,the game was more like one of those“mass rassles” you hear about thananything else.

Run almostentirely by the students, with suchfaculty help as they could muster, theclub has increased its membership,from last year’s high of 60, to over100 men, and by summer last year’srecord is expected to be bettered by100%, with a membership of 150.The large number of shooters hastaxed the club’s facilities somewhat.An entire range day has been addedto the schedule, so that now therange is open five days and two nightsa week. Even so, the 15 students whoappear on the firing line each timehas caused the club officials to con¬sider further enlarging the rangeroom.Club TeamThe club team, which so far hasoutstripped all the other divisionswith its near-perfect record (one de¬feat—by the U. S. Marines) is tomeet Cornmonwealth-Edison nextThursday.Although the varsity has not beenup to its usual standard, it is lookingto the new high-school team, full ofpotential material, to make a leallyoutstanding varsity next year. Thehigh school team won its first matchagainst Hyde Park YMCA last Sat¬urday by 28 points. On February 3it is scheduled to make a returnmatch.

Theclub is already preparing for theevent, looking toward bettering lastyear’s record of 600 shooters and150,000 shots fired, climaxed by aninternational radio match betweenUnited States and Great Britain.

Withmuch vim and vigor he pushed the16-pound ball around for some timeuntil once he pushed it a very longdistance. Upon measuring said dis¬tance, it was found that he had done48’10” which is a new Chicago record.Since the mark was not made incompetition, however, it does not godown on the books.Since then Hugh has gone stale,and Coach Merriam is resting himby having him practice only once ortwice a week. He now contents him¬self with shooting baskets with thevarsity cage team.Merriam believes that Hugh willplace about third in the conferencemeet this year, barring unforeseenaccidents. He may finish even higherif he happens to be hot that day.Harris of Indiana and Paskvan ofWisconsin will probably afford themajor opposition.
