The purpose of the amend¬ment, in brief, is to make it possiblefor Kappa Alpha Psi, a national Ne-jrro fraternity, to become a memberof the I-F Council, without makingdormitory fraternities eligible for ad¬mission.The Article of the constitutionwhich deals with membership readsas follows: “All fraternities that arerecognized by, and in good standingwith, the proper authorities of theUniversity of Chicago, and thatmaintain a fraternity house here,shall be members of this organiza¬tion, and after one year may be al¬lowed to vote.”Vote MondayThis amendment will be voted onby the various houses at the regularchapter meetings on Monday. Tues¬day evening representatives from the15 fraternities will assemble to an¬nounce officially the votes of their re¬spective houses. If nine hou.ses, orthree fourths of the total, are infavor of the amendment. Kappa Al¬pha Psi will automatically become amember of the Council. If four housesvote against the amendment, it is de¬feated, and Kappa Alpha Psi willnot be eligible for admission becauseit does not have a house on campus.(Continued on page three)Settlement SkitReplaces ‘‘TheWidow^s PlifrhrTo replace the three act play, “TheWidow’s Plight”, originally intendedas a portion of the SettlementLeague’s Benefit performance sched¬uled for February 9 in Mandel Hall,a burlesque skit on the romantic no¬tions of the Victorian age has beenplanned.Dick Himmel, Dick Salzman, GrantAtkinson, and Hattie Paine willwrite and direct themselves in ashort farce based on the lines of “Lit¬tle Girl A Freud,” bright spot of lastyear’s Mirror show.The shift from the play to the skitwas made because the inability ofthe former’s cast to find time forpractice.Mrs. Charles Coulter, directing thebenefit declared no other changes inplans were being considered. Sheadded that the tenor of the show re¬mained the same. Two professionalacts, the Graff Ballet and a pianoteam of Marian Sellers and herdaughter, Lillian de Lissavoy, com¬pose the paid portion of the program.The skit and quartette of facultyvoices, singing the “Policeman’sLot”, a selection from Gilbert andSullivan are the simon pures. Paul DouglasFavors ThirdTerm For FDRBy ERNEST LEISER“Certainly, I’m in favor of Roose¬velt for a third term,” said PaulDouglas yesterday, as he puffed ona cigarette and temporarily blewaway his worries over local politicsto discuss national issues. “Why? Be¬cause I’m a New Dealer, and becauseI can see no one else who is quali¬fied to take Roosevelt’s place as theleader of the nation.”The alderman-professor said thathe preferred to talk about local is¬sues, that he had studied nationalpolitics and economics for the pastfifteen years, and he was now tryingto learn about politics in his own lo¬cality. But he consented to talk fora moment about the direction of theNew Deal, and to say why he was infavor of Roosevelt.No TyrannyDouglas apparently had no fearsthat a third term for the Presidentwould result in tyranny, or the ruinof the country. He said he did notsee how it would be possible, underany administration, to cut down thebudget deficit. “If we are to continueto give appropriations to restore agri¬cultural parity, and to set aside hugesums for armaments, we cannot pos¬sibly spend less money.”Unable to see any way out of thenecessity for devoting enormous ex¬penditures for arms, given the condi¬tion of world politics, Douglas saidthat the only possible way to cutdown on appropriations to the farm¬ers would be to raise their purchas¬ing power by making it possible forthem to buy the things they need atlower prices. Quoting a Frank Knoxeditorial advocating this position,Douglas defended it as one he hadlong supported. The way to do thishe said was to crack down on monop¬olies and to remove burdensome pro¬tective tariffs.“Trust Busting”Is this what the New Deal is do¬ing? “Surely,” replied Douglas. “Lookat the trust-busting policies of Thur¬man Arnold and the recripocal tradetreaties being fostered by CordellHull. The President is in sympathywith these aims, and the only rea¬son that the administration hasmoved slowly to achieve these endsis in deference to public opinion.”Taking another puff of his cig-(Continued on page three) Campus Poll Reveals StudentOpinion Of Abolition Of FootballDAILY MAROON FOOTBALL POLLMEN WOMEN Total1.

Professor JacobViner of the Economics departmentdiscussed the problem of governmentadministrative agencies in a LawSchool Public lecture yesterday. De¬claring that “what congress can giveit can take back”, he said that in hisopinion external controls acting uponthe government are sufficient protec¬tion against the evolution of a dicta¬torship from our present form ofgovernment. “Adminstrative agenciesare highly sensitive to public opin¬ion”, he continued.The problem of apportioning pow¬er to the legislative and administra¬tive branches of government is pri¬marily one of degree in ProfessorViner’s opinion. That is, the questionis how much power one branchshould possess in relation to the oth¬er. He reminded his audience, how¬ever, that actually the administrativebranch is responsible to congress.Turning to the problem of over¬coming the abuses present in govern¬ment administrative agencies, he dis¬missed Civil Service and professionalstandards as a solution with the re¬Rhea Seeger SpeaksFor “Powder Puff”Rhea Seeger, prominent Chicagojournalist and fashion authority, willspeak at the “Powder Puff” meetingthis afternoon at 3:30 in the Y roomof Ida Noyes.

An¬other exists because of the difficultyof interpreting statutes or portionsof them given to an agency to ex¬ecute. Elaborating on this, Vinertold of some of the difficulties metwith in putting into effect such meas¬ures as the AAA.Many measures are in ProfessorViner’s words written in “abracada¬bra”, terms that mean nothing. Itthen becomes the task of administra¬tors of the measure to interpret it.A lawyer is better adapted to suchwork, he said, because, “an econ¬omist’s capacity for verbal cam¬ouflage is less than that of a skilledlawyer.” By DAN MEZLAYThe Daily Maroon poll on footballyesterday indicated that more andmore students are beginning to favorthe abolition of football, althoughthe majority of students are stillagainst the decision of the Board ofTrustees. 800 students voted. Theabove conclusion was drawn by com¬paring figures in Pulse poll withthose of the Maroon poll. In the Ma¬roon poll, 66 students did not favorfootball abolition as compared to 331students that did. In the Pulse poll,1001 students were against the ter¬mination of the pigskin sport as com¬pared to 114 students who were not.The increasing tendency of the stu¬dents to affirm the action of theBoard of Trustees, according to thepolls, can probably be attributed toseveral reasons. One is that after thePulse poll and before the Maroonpoll, football was abolished. Duringthe lapse of time between the abolish¬ment of football and the Maroon poll,it can probably be assumed that somestudents became used to the idea thatfootball will no longer be played atChicago.Another reason is that Hutchins,in his address on football, may haveinfluenced some students. But ac¬cording to question 2 of the Maroonpoll, 565 students claimed that theywere not influenced by the president’saddress as compared to 171 students'who admitted that they were. Thereason for the large negative vote onthis question can probably be thatmost students will not admit beinginfluenced by anybody, even the great,/Hutchins- Question 3 supports thiscontention. In that question, 419 stu¬dents were in substantial accord withHutchins’ reasons for the abolish¬ment of football as compared to 349who were not. To conclude this point,how can a person be in substantialaccord with a group of ideas and yetnot be influenced by those ideas, es-(Continued on page four)Honor SocietiesCrash WashingtonProm As UsualFinnish Aid GroupAnnounces OfficersThe Committee For Aid To Fin¬land, organized recently by studentsof the University to follow the leadof ex-president Hoover in raisingfunds for the relief of Finnish civil¬ians during the war, announced theirofficers yesterday as Ray Ranta, eco¬nomics major, president; RobertScott, guard on last year’s footballteam, secretary; and Jack Woolams,of the baseball team, treasurer.The Committee has made plans foran elaborate program on February14, and will at that time begin theirdrive for the money they need forfood and medical supplies for theFinns. They wish to make it clearthat this drive is not being conductedas an indictment of Russia, what¬ever their personal feelings may be,but only to meet the pressing needsof Finnish civilians for foods andother supplies that the Finns are un¬able to get because of the war.Faculty members Blumer, Cross,Kerwin, Haydon, Mitchell, Palmer,and Compton have already giventheir wholehearted support to thedrive, as have the 40 odd undergrad¬uates who organized the committee. To the Washington Prom en massewill go the three campus honorarysocieties. Owl and Serpent, by vir¬tue of their general immunity to allnatural price barriers.

Rubins, John Stevens,Hart Wurzburg, Marian Castleman, Ernest LeiserNight Editor: Richard PhilbrickAssistant: Ronald CraneToo Much DriveThe Maroon learns with dismay that with¬in the next two months, there are going to befour separate drives for funds. Groups want¬ing to aid the Finns, the Christians, the Jews,and University refugee students have chosenthis time to raise money.As interested in the cause of the ameliora¬tion of the condition of oppressed people asanyone can be, the Maroon nevertheless shud¬ders at the prospect of four independent fund¬raising campaigns. For, from experience weknow that if any drive is to be successful, itmust extend over a long period of time, andmust occupy the center of student attention.We know that the most generous student willnot, in fact cannot, dig in his pocket more thanonce to donate money to “w’orthy causes.”It violates all rules of common sense, then,to suppose that the four drives, or even threeor two of them, can be successful. There isleft only the alternative of deciding which ofthe worthy purposes is the most worthy, andto concentrate the attention of all the chari¬tably-minded on that particular one. Then, andonly then, is there a chance of success.The drive for Jewish relief is being spon¬sored by Hillel. The drive for Christian reliefis being sponsored by an outside organization,and will be conducted in the “University neigh¬borhood.” The drive for Finnish relief wasspontaneously and voluntarily started by sym¬pathetic students. The drive to raise moneyto keep the refugee scholars on campus nextyear was started by Chapel Union and the In¬terchurch Council.Three of these causes are going to haveto be temporarily abandoned, unless some w^ayof combining the drives can be found. Justfrom superficial examination, it seems appar¬ent which ones should be discarded. Eversince Hitler took over the reins of German gov¬ernment, there have been drives to aid Jewishrefugees. The purpose is worthw'hile and hardwork and sincere effort has been expendedby both Jew and Christian to raise money forthe victims of persecution. But one more drivecould only raise another drop in a bucket intowhich many drops have been poured already.This small amount should be added, but it canbe done almost any time — not just this quar¬ter. The need is great, but not any more press¬ing than it has been in the last seven years.The Christian relief drive is being spon¬sored by an off-campus group. The purposesfor which it is trying to raise money are vague,and not vital to University students. There¬fore this drive, at least in its on-campus as¬pects should be abandoned.But the other two drives cannot be aban¬doned. To support the Finnish drive is one wayto show the sympathy we pretend to hold forother states striving to be democratic. Weshould not refuse, and student sentiment wouldnot tolerate refusal, of aid to the Finnishpeople.If we are to fulfill the obligation we under¬took last year when we brought them overand helped them escape from the intoleranceand persecution they suffered in Europe, wemust continue to support the nine refugeescholars attending the University. If they areforced to return to Europe now, we will havedone them no good. We have undertaken aresponsibility. If we shirk that responsibiliy,we will h‘ betraying their trust in us. We willbe refusing to accord the sanctuary due topeople who can prove they are valuable assetsto our society.To abandon either of these last two drivesis impossible. But for them to exist independ¬ently is impractical. The only solution, a solu¬tion by which it will be possible for both ofthem to succeed, is combination. A drive toraise money for Finnish relief and Aid forRefugee Scholars might be a success. Twooney for Pinn:Scholars mij drives, one to raise funds for the Finns, and an¬other to keep the refugee students on campuswould be failures.May we ask then, that the leaders of thetwo drives, join forces to promote one goodcampaign, not deliberately head toward failurewith two campaigns? And may we also issuea plea to the leaders of Hillel to devote theirefforts to the success of this venture, to con¬sider temporary abandonment of their own orto devote the money they raise to this moreimmenent need? —E.

'j: iTHE DAILY MAROON. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1940 Page Three! InsideStoryRICHARD C. MASSELLIPEARL C. RUBINSThree years ago the ASU had amembership of 480 students; todayit has less than 160, of whom few areactive. These facts are just one indi¬cation of the lack of orjranized ac¬tivity on the part of those who callthemselves “liberal” on this campus.In preneral student political prroupswhether they be radical, liberal oreven reactionary can be one of twokinds; they can be small discussiongroups or they can be active, pros¬elyting f^roups. Into the former cat¬egory fall the Chapel Union socialproblems ^rroups and into the latterfall .such prroups as the communistsand the socialists. Also into the lat¬ter proup belongs the ASU which atpresent has three committees formedfor action, all of which are now verysmall, and almost inactive.Student action groups may pursueone or both of two purposes: to pros¬elyte on campus or to act as a pres¬sure group off campus. In the firstcategory are included the speakerswhich the political groups sponsor oncampus, and the mass demonstra¬tions. In the .second fall the help giv¬en to the CIO regional headquartersby one group op campus, or the send¬ing of petitions to Washington byanother.Student radicals usually are readyto participate in action groups. Stu¬dent liberals on the other hand, areoften more interested in discussionthan in action. Action for politicalgroups is not always exciting. Mostof it involves such tasks as makingpo.sters, attending meetings, and sel¬ling tickets to friends. As a result or¬ganizations such as the ASU whichare composed of both liberals andradicals find that it is the radicals,often as a part of a well disciplinedminority group, who do the workwhile the liberals sit back an d donothing more than attend meetings;often they don’t even do that.Weil known to the campus is thefact that within the ASU a smallliberal group has begun to organize Iagainst the well disciplined radicalminority. What this means in termsof the future of the ASU and of theUniversity student life remains to besiH*n. It would be very ea.sy for a lib¬eral bloc to gain complete control ofthe local ASU chapter, if electionsand policies continue to be run ashonestly and democratically as theyhave in the past. Altogether the com-muni.sts within the ASU and thosewho usually vote with them, numbernot much over fifty while there aremore than that liberals in the Unionand hundreds of student liberals oncampus many of whom might be per¬suaded to join for the purpose of ob¬taining an all liberal election.Hut a complete victory by liberalsunwilling to work might be nothingmore than the further weakening ofthe already sick ASU.Some liberals favor the easiermethod remaining in the ASU, andletting the communists do the workand control the policies. Both liberalsand communists they feel, have thesame short-run policies, at least indomestic affairs. But as long as thecommunists determine policy for thegroup, the influence of the ASU asa pressure group or as a campuspro.selyting group will be practicallyzero.Many liberals favor the organiza¬tion of a new liberal group. Since notall of the potentially active liberalswould be willing to give up the ASUso soon, such a new group might nec¬essarily be just another left-wingsplinter group unless it had a nucleusof really active students to build on.•Another possibility is a large all-in¬clusive liberal league which would in- ielude not only the now unaffiliatedstudents, but also some of the other Ileft wing groups such as the pacifistsand the socialists. This presents thepossibility of the liberals remaininginactive while the pacifist and social¬ist minorities did all the work.So in reality the future of theliberal program on this campus de¬pends on whether or not there areTYPEWRITERSAll MakesSOLDTRADEDREPAraEDRENTEDPORTABLES OR LARGECASH OR TERMSWOODWORTH'SBOOK STORE1311 E. 57th St. Open EveningsNear Kimbark Are.

BOOKSTORE^ 5802 Ellis Avenue §The Good Old DaysAre GONEBut the MAROONLives ONwithNewsFeaturesFootball PollsPage Four THE DAILY MAROON, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1940THE DAILY MAROON SPORTSIMSide GlancesBy LES DEANIt is rumored that Phi Kappa Psimay protest its defeat by the Betasin I-M basketball. Anybody whoknows the inner workings of the In¬tramural department knows thatWally Hebert and the board membersmake a practice of winking at therules when a protest is lodgedagainst one of the smaller fraterni¬ties, because, as Hebert says, “Theidea of Intramurals is to promote asmuch participation as possible, andif we enforce all the rules rigidly, itwill mean that some houses will haveto drop out of the league.”* * *Beta is in a particularly hard po¬sition right now as a result of thedissension which brought on atwelve-man walkout; thus right nowthere are only twelve or thirteen ac¬tives in the chapter. Since a new rulehas been passed this year to the ef¬fect that Freshmen are barred fromIntramural competition in basket¬ball, the situation is even more acutethan it would have been in otheryears.The grounds for the Phi Psi’s pro¬test are that Howie Isaacson, a grad¬uate student who scored six of theBetas’ 16 points Tuesday night, wasawarded a minor letter in basketballtwo years ago. Thus, strictly speak¬ing, he should not be playing, but PhiKappa Psi with some 40 actives topick from should certainly be able tofind five men of adequate ability torepresent them on the court.* * *Of course, it is obvious that thereason for the protest is that PhiKappa Psi is at present leading inIntramural organization points, andthey want at all costs to protect theirlead. Nobody blames them for that,but why take it out on the Betas, whohave a tough time rounding up anykind of a team. In other words, men,why don’t you take your licking with¬out griping? It’s getting to be an oldChicago custom.* *I-M bowling is doing little betterthan the proverbial balky mule, ac¬cording to Wally Hebert, who againthreatened to default any and allteams which did not have their re¬sults in to him by today. He sees noreason why the second round shouldnot have been completed by Tuesday,or at the latest Wednesday, and ifthings go on the way they have been,he sees no alternative but to declarea mass default of all teams who arebehind in the schedule. The reasonHebert is so insistent that the teamsget their games played is that with54 entries, he has to get the tourna¬ment rolling, or it will take far intothe Spring quarter to complete it. Badminton ClubPlays SundayWhen the University BadmintonClub meets the Hyde Park YMCATeam Sunday in a return match theywill be out for their second win havingpreviously beaten them by a score of13 to 5. The University “A” Teamwill bank heavily on wins by theirwomen’s team which, still intact, lostonly one singles match on their pre¬vious encounter.Jules Rudolph and Walter Glaesernow rank tops among the men sincethe withdrawal of John Newland be¬cause of a shoulder injury and BobRalston who has heeded the call ofhis studies and returned to the labs.Announce LineupThe lineup for Sunday’s meet in¬cludes Eleanor Coambs, Gertrude Pol-car, Pat Weeks, Rachel Smiley, JaneGurney and Vivian Carlson. Pairingoff for the doubles will be Coambsand Polcar, Weeks and Gurney, andSmiley and Carlson.Men’s singles matches will beplayed by Jules Rudolph, WalterGlaiser, Ben Gurney, Charles Alex¬ander, William Goodman, and JanesChess. For the doubles Rudolph playswith Glaeser, Gurney with Alexander,and Goodman with Chess. Teams formixed doubles will consist of Coambsand Rudolph, Polcar and Glaeser,Weeks and Alexander, Gurney andGurney, Smiley and Chess, and Carl¬son and Goodman.Last MeetThis will be the last meet of thequarter as club members will be pre¬paring for the Chicago District Tour¬nament to be played February 22, 23,and 24 at Concordia College, RiverForest, Illinois, and for the Mid WestTournament scheduled for March 8and 9 at the Naval Armory. Enter¬ing in the Chicago meet will probablybe Jules Rudolph, Walter Glaeser, andthe doubles team of Gertrude Polcarand Eleanor Coambs who will beworking to raise their present rank¬ing of number five.Football—(Continued from page one)pecially if many of them are new?And certainly no one can deny thatthe prexy’s address brought out sev¬eral new angles to the football situa¬tion as well as to acquaint studentswho were unfamiliar with the prob¬lem. This is not an attempt to boostHutchins but it is an attempt to pre¬sent an accurate analysis of the poll.It is possible that those who areinterested in student activities didmost of the voting, and thus mostlikely were against the abolition offootball, but since the similar reason¬ing could be applied to the Pulse poll,this factor can be almost discountedby making comparisons of the Ma¬roon poll with the Pulse poll.An overwhelming number of stu¬dents felt that Chicago should re¬main in Big Ten sports other thanfootball, (715 to 69), and that Chi¬cago should not drop intercollegiateathletics in favor of enlarged intra¬mural program, (726 to 54). Small Squad toMeet Ohio StateTrack TeamGreatly heartened by the results ofthe Wayne meet last weekend, theshort-manned track team will face apowerful Ohio aggregation Saturdaywith a good chance of keeping theiropponents from scoring a decisivevictory.The Wayne meet last Saturdaywas satisfactory in every respect.Lambert, in the mile, bettered hisprevious time of 4:47:5 to comethrough with a time of 4:38:3. Powellwas clocked at 2:28 in the half-mile,and could have done better had thecompetition been keener. Davidsoncleared 13 feet in the pole vault forthe first time; and Beatty, the newtransfer, did well in the 220, relay, jand dash.The team has been considerablyhandicapped by its lack of men. Fiveof last year’s runners have not comeout, leaving Coach Merriam with aten man team for the Ohio Statetrip. This shortage, which means onlya single entree in most events, doesnot give much promise for our Con¬ference season.Hockey OpenerFalls ThroughHigh hopes for a hockey game withan undisclosed collegiate opponentfell through yesterday, as T. N. Met¬calf reported that because of a win¬ter carnival the game had to be post¬poned until the 17th.Since the rival school does notrecognize its hockey team, it re¬quested that no publicity be given thegame and that the match be regard¬ed as an amateur encounter betweentwo unaifiliated teams. To this pro¬posal, Chicago readily agreed, forMaroon hockey is still in its infancyand must therefore operate on astrictly informal basis. Coach D. L.Hoffer and playing Coach Craig Mc-Ivor both feel that the team is readyfor competition and plan to schedulegames with one or more of the ama¬teur teams in the vicinity in the nearfuture.Hutchins WritesNew BookI“Speaking of Education” is thename of President Hutchins’ newbook scheduled to be released by Mac¬Millan and Company sometime inMarch. However such hopes willprobably not be realized, according toMrs. Porter, Hutchins’ secretary.The manuscript of the book, whichwas supposed to be ready by Jan¬uary 1, is not yet in completed form.In the meantime Hutchins is touringthe South in the interests of the Fif¬tieth Anniversary Celebration anddoes not plan to be back before themiddle of P'ebruary. Varsity Cagers Win AgainIn a roughly played contest whichfeatured the fast-breaking attack ofthe second team, the Maroon varsitytook over an embattled alumni teamin the second of the series of practicegames by a score of 42 to 29 in theFieldhouse last night. The shocktroop team, composed of Zimmerman,Sotos, Fons, Wagenberg and Charlton,scored twenty-six of their team’s to¬tal, playing against an alumni squadwhich gained an early lead over thevarsity. The veterans, paced by Chet andBill Murphy and Bob Meyer, stayed inthe fight for a good part of the firsthalf, relinquishing the lead only afterthe varsity team was called off thefloor by Coach Norgren and the sub¬stitution of a complete team was ef¬fected by both sides.The scoring of the game was toppedby the vet’s Bob Meyer, who sank twofield goals and five gift shots for atotal of nine points. Following closeupon his heels were Jack Fons andChuck Wagenberg, each with 8 points.DORSEY'S SMOOTHDO YOU WANT TOGeorge WashingtonPROMOPEN ALL NIGHTTHE DOG HOUSE GRIU1145 E. 55th St., Near University Ave.Meet Me at The Dog HouseFOR JUMBO HOT DOGS AND HAMBURGERSFREE DELIVERY SERVICE MID. 2320y-REYNOLDS CLUB SETS PRECEDENTSBASKETBALL DANCESFOOTBALL DANCES HOBBY SHOWSOPEN HOUSESSo We Smash Thru With AnotherA PREVIEW OF THEINTERCLUB SINGBASKETBALL DANCEREYNOLDS CLUB LOUNGES SATURDAY FEB. 3 1940 |SINGLE ADM. 35c Illilli [R-i - 1 J.
