Today’s issue placesbeyond all doubt this well knowntruth. Pulse is no rose, but it doessmell. Today it smells as never be¬fore. Campus newstands will take onthe atmosphere of cosmetic counters,and the world will wonder whetherPulse is a magazine or an open bot¬tle of “Paris Nights.’’Back of it all is the editors’ revo¬lutionary try at “perfuming thecover,’’ to use their own words. Thecover itself is declared to be the“best picture of Charlotte Rexstrewyet,’’ and is made up in Valentinestyle. Since it is impossible to ob¬tain a copy of Pulse before the Ma¬roon goes to press this news couldnot be verified, by actual nose tests.However, according to Emil Hirsch,Editor of Pulse, “sweet-scented oilshave been mixed with the ink.’’This innovation in magazine at¬tractions is more or less of pioneerexperiment, says Hirsch, which mayin the future be widely used by pub¬lications, or perfume and flower ad¬vertisers.All the genius of the Pulse staff,this issue, seems to have been dis¬sipated on the cover. Only other fea¬ture is a survey of the Four-YearCollege, and since the editors make nomore startling announcements it isassumed that the rest of the maga¬zines smells only of ink, and includesno more than the usual run of newsand pictures. SkiingReplacesFootball InStagg Field Start Fund DriveFor Refugee ScholarsPlay His RecordingsHarvey AirportIs TrainingSite For CAAThe Ruben Camp Airfield is thesite of the flying instructions for thestudents enrolled in the Civil Aero¬nautics Commission. The field is lo¬cated at one hundred and fortiethstreet and Harvey Avenue, which isabout two miles west of the HarveyI-C station. It was recently moder¬nized and is one of the largest fieldsin this locality.Actual flight in.struction will beginsometime in the middle of February.By that time three new trainingplanes will have reached the airport.Students will receive their instruc¬tions from a Mr. Brownell who wasalso chosen by the University authori¬ties. He has had wide experience inflying including some time spent inthe Navy. Winter weather, so longas it doesn’t become icy, holds fewerterrors for flyers than is commonlybelieved. It is, in fact, much betterfor instruction than warmer weather,since the air is less “bumpy.” Theonly experience the students have hadin the air so far is a ride given themby a member of the airport staff.In between flights the students willcontinue to attend class; among thesubjects yet to be dealt with is Met¬eorology. It is expected that theclass course will be finished by thetwelfth of March. Skiing is the sport that will takeover Stagg Field in the future, ac¬cording to Director of Athletics T.Nelson Metcalf who has found thatit can well serve as a place to pro¬vide skiing instruction for students,and that it will be a valuable addi¬tion to the intramural facilities.How to SkiWinter sports experts are dividedinto two classes on the question ofthe best means of teaching noviceshow to ski. One group believes thatbeginners should be taught on thelevel and the other maintains thatthey should receive their first train¬ing on slight slopes. Stagg Field isadapted to both types of instruction.The level ground of the field can bestrewn with straw, a substitute forsnow which can be used all year.Slopes can be built either in the WestStands or just north of Bartlett Gym.In the West Stands the slope wouldbe constructed over a stairway, withborax as the substitute for snow.Loan EquipmentSince most students do not havethe equipment necessary for skiing,the University will furnish boots andskis, either for loan or for rent. In¬struction will probably be included inthe regular athletic program.When winter sports enthusiastsaren’t busily skiing to and fro, thefield will tbe used for intramurals.With the south stands removed therewill be two fields running north andsouth. However this change may notbe made because city high schoolsand junior colleges have asked to usethe stadium during the football sea¬son.No Football or TobogganTwo suggested uses for the field,one to invite the Chicago Bears, pro¬fessional football team, to use it fora home field, and the other to havea toboggan slide constructed in it,were rejected.(Continued on page three) Dean BrumbaughAids OrientationFebruary ClassBegins PeriodOf OrientationBursar’s Officef^oiisiders MeansTo Foil Bandits Set WednesdayAs Deadline InMirror ContestLast chance to enter the Mirrorcover contest is coming up.

Orientation of the second mid-yearfreshman class of approximately 29students culminates tonight in a din¬ner and mixer sponsored by the Rey¬nolds Club Council. At the diner pre¬ceding the mixer, the Student SocialCommittee will give an exposition ofstudent activities.The orientation began yesterday at8 when Dean Leon P. Smith, AaronJ. Brumbaugh, dean of the College,and Bob Reynolds, head of the Stu¬dent Social Committee addressed theincoming freshmen. Placement testsfollowed and at 4 the freshmen wereentertained at a tea given by theFreshman Council. They were in¬troduced at that time to their coun¬selors.Talks to Entering StudentsToday the freshmen will attend aseries of “Talks to Entering Stu¬dents” where Dr. Dudley Reed, DeanBrumbaugh and Professor PercyBoyton will speak on various phasesof college life. They will lunch withtheir counselors who have been chosenby the Freshman Council, headed byBob Smith.Since the results of the scholasticaptitude tests given yesterday arenot known, the exact size of the classcannot be determined. Twenty-ninemembers have already been admittedand probably five or six more will bechosen. Last year, when the mid-yearclass was instituted, 48 students wereadmitted under the plan. Refugee Aid CommitteeNeeds $5,000 to KeepNine Students in School.With a goal of $5,000, a RefugeeAid Committee yesterday laid pre¬liminary plans for a campaign toraise funds to keep nine refugeescholars on campus next year. Thecommittee is headed by Bob Boyer,Iron Mask-Chapel Union member.Its function, according to ChairmanBoyer is “to fulfill the obligations weundertook when we brought the ref¬ugee students to the University onscholarships.”The actual organization of thedrive has not yet started. Boyer hascalled a meeting for February 7 ofall campus organizations. Thegroundwork of the campaign willthen be laid, and plans will be madefor ways and means of raising funds.Ten ScholarshipsThe drive last year was a completesuccess. The University offered tenscholarships to refugee students fromEurope provided that the studentCommittee raised enough money tosupport them once they were here. Thecommittee raised the money, and thescholarships were awarded. Ten ofthe students were accepted out of the30 applications considered, and nineof them were able to get here fromEurope.By careful budgeting, the Univer¬sity administration, which has hadcomplete charge of handling thescholarship funds this year, is man¬aging to make the money raised last(Continued on page three)Maroon PollsCampusOpinionOn FootballAlumni GroupNames ThirtyTo CommitteesThirty residents of Chicago andsuburbs were appointed to two sub¬committees of the Chicago committeeof the Alumni Foundation of the Uni¬versity.

Are theygenerally in favor of his views or dothey oppose them? In order to answerthese questions, and others relatingto football, the Daily Maroon willconduct a student football poll tomor¬row with polling places in MandelCorridor and Cobb Hall. The studentswill answer a mimeographed ques¬tionnaire.Hutchins’ TestThis poll offers the first opportu¬nity, since Hutchins has been pres¬ident of the University, to test hisability to sell himself to the students.Such a test will be made by compar¬ing the Daily Maroon poll with thePulse poll, w’hich was taken lastmonth, before Hutchins’ address. Tomake the test more accurate, ques¬tions pertaining to Hutchins’ sellingability will be asked in the Maroonpoll.In the Pulse poll, students wereoverwhelmingly in favor of maintain¬ing a football team and subsidizingfootball players scholastically admis¬sible to the University. In addition,the poll revealed that students didnot wish to reduce the number ofconference games or play smallerschools.Yes or NoSince the Pulse poll was taken,and since the president’s address,many students have concluded thatthe majority of students are in favorof the decision of the Board of Trus¬tees. However, there are others whoclaim that few agree with the decis¬ion. Thus, the Daily Maroon poll willanswer the above argument by serv¬ing as a Gallup poll of Universitystudent opinion.YW Hears TribuneBeauty ColumnistA “Powder-Puff” session, conduct¬ed by Rhea Seeger of the ChicagoTribune women’s department, will beheld this Thursday afternoon at 3:30in the YWCA room of Ida Noyes.Miss Seeger will discuss beauty andfashion problems, and will answerquestions of the group, after whichthe meeting will break up into a so¬cial affair and refreshments will bePage Two THE DAILY MAROON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 30, 1940‘SllE ^atlu ^aroonFOUNDED IN 1901MEMBER ASSOCIATED COLLEGIATE PRESSThe Daily Maroon is the official student newspaper of the Uni¬versity of Chicaso, published morninKs except Saturday, Sunday andMonday durins the Autumn, Winter and Spring quarters by TheDaily Maroon Company, 6831 University avenue.

Whenthe Maroon called the attention of the SeniorJob Council and of placement director LowellCalvin to the fact that women as w’ell as menneed to know the tricks of job-getting, theyrelented and decided to allow women to attendtheir sessions. But they don’t think w'omenwill profit so much by learning masculine tech¬niques as they might if they had a programof their own. It’s still up to the w'omen leadersto arrange such a program if they really w'antone.At any rate, seniors will have an opportun¬ity to gain more insight about preferences andprejudices of the business world many of themwill have to enter. While the Council certainlycannot be expected to furnish a key to over¬whelming success in getting good jobs, itshould at least, unless it fails sadly in its pur¬pose, provide those who participate in its pro¬grams with more sophistication about the prob¬lems they may soon find themselves up against.Whether or not the Council will be a suc¬cess depends to a certain extent upon theamount of interest shown in it. With gradua¬tion time approaching, it seems that this in¬terest should be high. But many who are ex¬perienced in arranging w^orthwhile programsfor University students warn that people hereare often too lazy or indifferent to utilize theiropportunities, even though they might com¬plain loudly when these advantages are not of¬fered them. If the seniors don’t avail them¬selves of the Council’s sessions, they mayblame their own neglect and apathy later on.On Second ThoughtDuring the vacation when intercollegiatefootball was made a memory at this University,all of us read in our local newspapers that ourstudent body was overwhelmingly in favor ofcontinuing football. The Pulse poll was quotedas proof that 11 out of every 12 students werestaunchly opposed to abolition of the inter¬collegiate sport.1,150 votes were the highest number tabu¬lated for any of the questions asked in thePulse poll. Of these 1,001 favored continuingfootball; 114 opposed it. There are over 6,000full time students at the University. Possiblythe opinion of the thousand who wanted tokeep on with intercollegiate football could betaken as a fair sample, yet the Maroon hasfound through sad experience that it is exceed¬ingly difficult to make valid generalizationsabout the opinions and preferences of a com¬munity so diverse as this one is. It seems muchmore likely that the thousand who voted forfootball were the one thousand sufficiently in¬terested in the sport to desire its survival.In any case, 968 people as opposed to 166indicated dissatisfaction with the existing foot¬ball conditions. A large majority of the votersrejected the suggested remedies of reducingthe number of conference games, of playingonly small schools, of playing only non-sub-sidized team.s, or of changing the present typeof schedule. The solutions they favored weresubsidization, attracting better football ma¬terial, and arranging for a special comprehen¬sive examination schedule for athletes.When the Pulse poll was held, voting wasstill pretty much a matter of opinion.

Whereupon said long arm of saidlaw radioed Springfield (Illinois) to ascertain afore¬mentioned ownership of aforementioned auto.

Now we have had time to get better rea¬sons on which to base our opinions.Tomorrow the Maroon is conducting an¬other student poll on football.

It would also entail theconstruction of more stands whichwould curtail the use of the field forother sports such as track. Finally itseemed improbable that the proswould have any desire to move fromWrigley Field, where a large follow¬ing has already been developed.The second suggestion was ruledout when Metcalf learned that theonly suitable materials that can beused on a toboggan slide are eithersnow or crushed ice. The cost of con¬struction of an overhead awning onthe slide was prohibitive, and a ver¬tical awning on the north side of theslide would not be sufficient to keepsnow from melting. Therefore thevalue of the toboggan slide would de¬pend on the amount of snow whichfell during the winter; and hencewould be too much of a gamble forthe Athletic Department. Probe Social-PoliticalAttitudes of ClassesKornhouser Report Cov¬ers Opinions of Econom¬ic Groups,Results of an investigation of thedifferences in the adult population’sopinions on broad social-political is¬sues and with factors related to thesedifferences are summarized in a re¬port of Arthur W. Kornhouser, en¬titled, “A Study of Attitudes in Dif¬ferent Economic Groups.’*The summary of the I’eport states,“the evidence points clearly to largeai.u important attitude differences be¬tween income classes. Within theeconomic groups, moreover, importantdifferences in social attitudes arefound to be strikingly correlated withthe feelings of satisfaction or discon¬tent expressed by individuals in re¬sponse to questions concerning theirpersonal status and opportunities.”Wealth, Relations, ControlThe distribution of wealth, rela¬tions among economic groups, andgovernmental control of the economicsystem were the issues dealt withand income and occupational classifi¬cations and points of personal historyand personal attitudes which cutacross economic groupings are the at¬titudes dealt with.A special effort was made to obtaina representative sample of the metro¬politan area in the 2000 people inter¬viewed. In the stratified sample aspecial effort was made to guardagainst any special bias in selection.The cases were classified according tosix income groups and an independentclassification according to seven I'entalgroups was also determined.Wide DisagreementThe greatest disagreement occurredbetween the classes most widely sep¬arated in income, whether classifiedby rent or income and whether formen or women. On most questionsmajor business executives (as selectedfrom Poor’s Directory of Directors)stood at one extreme and trade unionofficials (as visited at local unionheadquarters and at meetings) regis¬tered at the other.Occupational differences cut acrossthe income cla.sses so that within asingle income class there were sharpoccupational variations. Personal var¬iables had some bearing on the in¬dividuals’ attitudes on public ques¬tions. Men and women differ little atmost income levels except at the low¬est level where women are definitelyless favorable to trade unions thanmen.Refugee— Educators, CivicLeaders DemandEnd of Dies QuizThe American Committee for De¬mocracy and Intellectual Freedom an¬nounced that twelve college presi¬dents, six deans, and more than onehundred other outstanding educators,scientists, churchmen, writers, artists,and public officials have joined in apetition to Congress urging the un¬qualified discontinuance of the DiesCommittee.The actions of the Dies Committee,the petition states, “constitute an in¬fringement upon the democraticrights of freedom of speech and as¬sembly at a time when the repercus-,sions of the international situation inour country make it all the more im¬perative that we adhere rigidly to-both the letter and the spirit of theBill of Rights.”Among the signers of the petitionwho are on the University of Chicagofaculty are Pi-ofessor A.

Wabash Ava. at Washington(Continued from page one)year take care of the refugee stu¬dents this year.The problem now arises of caringfor the students next year. The Uni¬versity has said that it would renewthe scholarships of any of the ref¬ugees whose work has merited it.Unless there is some way found ofraising money for room and boardfor the students, however, they willnot be able to attend school herenext year. Since it would mean trag¬edy for them to have to return towar-torn Europe, to the home fromwhich they were refugees even inpeace times, there arises the urgentneed to raise money so that theireducation at the University can becontinued.With this idea, leaders Boyer ofChapel Union and Bob Koenig of theInterchurch Council called a meetingto form a committee to work on thedrive. At this meeting yesterdayBoyer determined to make plans forthe drive.Originally it was planned to makethe drive a joint one, for the aid ofEuropean and Far Eastern students,as well as for the refugees alreadyhere. But the idea was dismissed asimpractical, since a division of inter¬est would mean that it would be dif¬ficult to collect funds for any of thethree purposes. Since the problem ofthe students on the hands of the Uni¬versity was most pressing it was de¬cided to concentrate on aiding them.illllllllllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllliilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllilllllllllllllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllH★ ★PULSE OUT TODAYTHE DAILY MAROON SPORTSMaroon Athletes Score Si: r VictoriesWrestlers DefeatNorthwestern TeamThomas Gains Decision;Injures Opponent’s Ribin Contest.A 26-10 walloping of NorthwesternSaturday climaxed a successful ath¬letic weekend for the Maroon grap-plers; they trimmed Bradley 18-14the day before. The season’s resultsto date are five meets won, two lost,and one tied.Coach Vorres and Captain TimThomas had figured that the North¬western meet would be very close;Chicago had the edge with a probable15 points with wins in the 135, 145,and 165 pound classes, but most ofthe rest of the matches looked liketossups to the Maroons’ wrestling in¬ner council.However, Young pinned his man inthe 121, and Weiss managed to winout in the heavyweight division, andStone won the 165 lb. division.Thomas was somewhat dissatisfiedwith the decision handed down in hisown match, for he was under the im¬pression that he had pinned his man.When he started to get up, however,his opponent just lay there, injuredwith a bruised rib; so the referee said the match was a default, not a pin¬ning. Although that made no differ¬ence as far as the score was con¬cerned, Thomas had wanted to pin hisrival, just to make the match decisive.Three second team men, Herro, But¬ler, and Webster, represented theMidway grunt and groaners againstBradley; so the score would presum¬ably have been more one-sided, hadthe V’^arsity been at full strength.Thursday, the team will have a re¬turn meet with Morton Junior College,a team which they routed earlier inthe season. Once again, Vorres plansto use many second team men, in thehope of building up some of his sec¬ond line material for use next year.Swimmers Lose,Win Water PoloFencing TeamTops NorthwesternThe University of Chicago “B”fencing team evened up its seasonrating last Friday night by winningover Northwestern’s reserves by theconvincing score of 16 to 11. Thefoil and sabre teams won, 5-4 and7-2. The epee team lost 5-4.The Maroons were led by Joe Mol-kup and Jack Straetz who beat everyman they faced. The foilsmen werepaced by Reilly and Geidt, who tooktwo out of three, as did Fritz andRichards in epee. The Maroon swimming forces hadvaried success at Minneapolis lastweekend, as they divided victorieswith the University of Minnesota ina water polo contest, which Chicagowon 6 to 1, and a swimming meet,which was taken by the home team48 to 36.The water polo game was a con¬tinuation of the conference champions’winning habits. At one time, however,both sides were abbreviated to thepoint where each team had but threemen in the fray, making the gamelook like a fluid version of hockey.Swimming MeetAs to the swimming meet, Minne¬sota took six firsts to the Midway’sfour. The upset of the meet occurredin the breast-stroke event, when adarkhorse named Sahlman overcamethe challenges of his favored team¬mate Ringer, and Chicago’s Anderson.The latter finished second in thisevent. Glasser BreaksTie to WinFencing MeetThe Maroon fencing team won itssecond consecutive fencing meet atColumbus last Saturday in a thrillingfinish, as Dick Glasser won the lastbout of the afternoon to win 14 to 13.The winning margin, as in the season-opener against Northwestern, wasprovided by the sabre team, whichwon by a score of six to three.The sabre team, composed of DonMcDonald, Paul Seiver and DickGlasser, came through as each manwon two out of his three engagements.The epee team also took their series,winning five to four. They were pacedby Loyal Tingley and Herb Ruben,who took two out of three. The thirdepee man was Ben Fritz, who spenta busy weekend, since he also com¬peted in the “B” team meet the nightbefore.The foil forces, which so far haveproven themselves the weakest link inHermanson’s victory chain, droppedtheir second straight event, losingthree to six. Each of the three menwho fenced. Captain Alex George,Stuart MacClintock and MatthewGladstone, took one bout.Rifle Club Shoots;Awaits VerdictThe University Rifle Club held apostal meet with Northwestern Uni¬versity Thursday and turned in ascore of 1668 out of a possible 2,000.As yet the Northwestern score hasnot 'been received but if past perform¬ances mean anything the Purpleshould win by a margin of 1700 tothe Chicago 1668.High scorers for the Chicago teamwere Hackett, 344, Moment, 340, andSlade, 339. All of these scores areout of a possible 400 points.The Chicago team will hold a postalmeet with Minnesota Thursday, anda regular meet with CommonwealthEdison in the West Stands on thesame day. Track MenDefeat WayneTaking seven of eleven first places,the University track team opened itsindoor season beating Wayne uni¬versity of Detroit 54^ to 39%, in theFieldhouse Saturday afternoon. Cap¬tain John Davenport was high pointman, winning the 60 and 220-yarddashes.The visitors were strong in the dis¬tance events and won both the mileand two mile runs. Their other firstplace was gained in thv» high hurdles.The 880-yard relay finished in a dead-heat when anchorman Davenport over¬came a 15 yard lead to cross the lineeven with the W'ayne man.Hugh Rendleman failed to comeanywhere near his practice mark of48’ 10” in the shot-put, however, his45’ 6” was good enough to win.Gymnasts LoseTo MinnesotaSeverely handicapped by the loss ofCaptain Glenn Pierre, the gymnasticsteam lost to Minnesota, 540 to 407.25,in Bartlett gymnasium Friday night.High point man for Chicago wasCourtney Shanken with 176 total.Jim began returned to the teamwith very little practice to help offsetthe disparity of numbers. Performingonly a simple set of exercises, hegarnered 26.75 points for the team.Courtney Shanken took the onlyfirst place the Maroons won, winningon the rings. His brother, Earl, ac¬counted for 166.25 points, and thefourth man, A1 Robertson, took secondin tumbling with 39 points.With Pierre, who fractured a bonein his wrist last week, able to compete,the difference in the two scores mighthave been much different. In Chi¬cago’s first meet against MilwaukeeA. C., Pierre took first place on boththe parallel bars and the side horse,in addition to winning points in tum¬bling rings, and horizontal bars.
