Parties of the political Union metin Cobb yesterday to formulate partyplatforms so that voters in the com¬ing campus election will have a betteridea of what the aims of the radicals,conservatives, and liberals are.The liberal platform, which is notcompleted as yet, includes the follow¬ing: (1). A strict interpretation ofthe cash and carry plan and the de¬marcation of danger zones for A-merican shipping; (2). The favoringof a resolution of not sending basicwar materials to Japan; (3). Thecondemnation of all unprovoked ag¬gression, with specific reference tothe Russian invasion of Finland.Liberals Meet TodayHow'cver, this does not imply a to¬tal condemnation of the entire Rus¬sian social movement. The group willmeet in Cobb 312 at 3:30 today tocomplete their platform.The Communists formulated theirprogram with the aim and the inclu¬sion of steps to see that the majorityparty of the Union maintains a pro¬gram which is essentially against theinvolvement of the United States inwar. The caucus also demanded thepreservation of civil liberties and thebill of rights, and in addition, thecontinuance of what was once the so¬cial program of the New Deal. Inthe main, the platform is in accordwith the legislative program of theCIO.The conservatives began the formu¬lation of their platform but will notdivulge it’s contents until it is com-pleteil.The Political Union election com¬mittee will meet in the Cap and(Jown office at 8 tonight. After breathless months the DailyMaroon staff finally got a look at itsbaby. A photograph of the Spanishorphan the Maroon had adopted dur¬ing Fall quarter came in yesterday’smail along with appropriate informa¬tion.According to the report, FranciscoDuran Rodriquez “is a very mischiev¬ous child and from his disposition wethink that he will soon forget all hehas been through.” Francisco comesfrom Madrid, where his father was arailway worker. In his family weresix children, four boys and two girls.However, Francisco has not heardfrom his parents since he was evac¬uated in the first months of 1937. Hehas lived with refugees since then,and has two sisters in the same col¬ony. His three brothers were killedat the front.“He is nine years old, has largebrown eyes, light brown hair and anolive complexion. He is restless andthinks he had better .study because hewants to be an aviator,” says theMaroon’s correspondent. In the pic¬ture he has a crew cut.

Miss Seegerkept her audience entertained withanecdotes of her recent European fash¬ion tour, pre-information on springfashions, and tips on men’s pet peevesin college clothes.“Not in a Taxi”.\sked if the “Gone With the Wind”theme predominates in spring clothes,she stated that it definitely did not.“.After all, you can’t get twenty-fouryards of a skirt and a man into ataxi and expect to get anywhere,”she quipped.Light wools, with many new vari¬eties of soft beige and dove-graytones, sleek one-piece silks (with em¬phasis on well-fitted “underlayers”tor that streamlined effect), less-padded shoulders, and knee-lengthdresses for tennis and sports, are onrecord for spring according to advancereports from insiders.What Men DislikeWhat will the skirt length be? shewas asked. “That will be entirelyaccording to your individual architec¬tural specifications,” was the answer.What do college men dislike mostabout campus fashions? Posterior prominences, sloppy shoes, unevenskirts. What does Miss Seeger dis¬like most about campus fashions?Head-handkercJ[iiefs — but very defi¬nitely!AII-.\round SlacksTold that they originated in theScandinavian countries, she was slight¬ly dismayed not to find any there onher recent trip, but instead the coun¬try was beseiged not by Russians, butslacks. Slacks were worn from earlymorning, to late theatre dates, andeverywhere in between times. Shefound that Scandinavian women hadlx*tter taste and more variety in theirclothes than women of the continent,who generally possessed one good hat,purse, and pair of shoes which “wentwith” everything.Europe has not learned the secretof matching accessories on basicclothes. “The weirdest combinationsI have ever seen were on the streetsof London,” she told her audience, andcomplimented American women ontheir superior clothes-sense.Air Dorsey WaxesAt Dance Today More money in dividends was paidto several of the members of the EllisHousing Co-op at 5558 Ellis thisquarter than they have paid in rent.Last year, when the co-op first start¬ed, the members decided to avoid fi¬nancial difficulties by making therent more than enough to cover an¬ticipated expenses. As a result, theco-op had a surplus of about $425.The membership decided to put 5%of this amount into a fund for start¬ing new co-ops and to divide the re¬maining $400 betw’cen dividends andimprovements on the building.Eight Dollars MoreThese new dividends have been is¬sued in addition to an average ofeight dollars per member which wasdistributed in dividends at the end oflast quarter. The co-op has alsolowered the average rent from $10 to$9. Joe Flemming has been electedI)resident of the Co-op for the dura¬tion of this year.In the Ellis Student Club coopera¬tive dining room in the same build¬ing, the long line of people waitingfor breakfast has been cut in halfthrough the purchase of a new gastoaster which speeds up service. Theorganization of the eating co-op hasalso been changed. The positions ofcook and dietician have been combinedand a new office of co-op purchaserhas been created. Leonard Edwards,the purchaser, is to be responsiblefor securing the co-op the best qual¬ity foo<l and supplies at the lowestpossible prices. In the meantime, campus fraterni¬ties were deliberating on the amend¬ment introduced by Harry Corneliusof Phi Kappa Psi which would en¬able the Negro fraternity to becomea member of the InterfraternityCouncil.The houses will vote Monday onthe amendment. A three-fourths ma¬jority of the fifteen recognized fra¬ternities is necessary. This meansthat twelve of the houses must voteto amend the Interfraternity Councilconstitution.A letter which asks that Kappa Al¬pha Psi be admitted to the Councilhas been written and is being cir¬culated. It has been signed by leadingfraternity and activity men. Formal ThemeThe formal theme of the celebra¬tion, “New Frontiers in Educationand Research,” was revealed in theannouncement. This theme will beemphasized during the Anniversary «Year 1940-41, in conferences of schol¬ars and scientists to be held in Sep¬tember, 1941, and in a special sessionof the Alumni School.Tentative PlansTentative plans for the four-dayacademic festival climaxing the cel¬ebration of the anniversary openswith a formal gathering solemnizingthe beginning of the festival Septem¬ber 26, 1941.

Thedoors of the University were openedto students October 1, 1892.

Johnny Culp, I-F head, andothers put out the burning cross¬es almost immediately.

Pearl C. Rubins, John Stevens,Hart Wurzburg, MaFian Castleman, Ernest LeiserNight Editor: Pearl C. RubinsAssistant: Nancy LesserThink This OverWe want to plead for only one thing today:namely that University students be unafraidto act justly. We don’t think strong pleadingis needed in this case; rather, we believe thatsimply pointing out the matters at issue isenough to persuade fraternity men to admitKappa Alpha Psi to the Council.By this time no one can convincingly begthe question of admitting the Negro fraternitywith excuses that this admission would be in¬expedient. The old objection that allowing achapter without a house on campus to enterthe Inter-fraternity Council would make wayfor fraternities unable to support houses andthus weaken the system has been met by theamendment proposed Wednesday night. Iftwelve fraternities vote for this amendment,Kappa Alpha Psi, which would be able to havea house here if property owners’ agreementspermitted, will automatically become a memberof the Council.The other objections of inexpediency areall based, admittedly or not, on color discrimi¬nation. Some who declare themselves person¬ally free of such ungenerous and unintelligentprejudice say they fear that if Chicago permitsnegroes to become part of its fraternity systembad publicity for the University will result. WeThink it indeed a sad reflection on the patriot¬ism of American people to believe they will beunfavorably impressed if University studentsdare to show themselves as progressive as theConstitution of this country is. Once theAmerican people fought a bloody war partlyon this very issue.Another argument is that if Kappa AlphaPsi is admitted to the Council, its memberswill attend the I-F Ball. Again and again wehave replied that negroes go to the WashingtonProm and other campus dances. Their behaviorthere has biven no cause for complaint. TheUniversity administration considers negroesmature enough to comport themselves asadults and scholars or it would not admit themto the school. Furthermore, Kappa Alpha Psiis a campus organization, and subject to thesame regulations all other campus organiza¬tions must abide by. If its members exceedthe limits of good taste, they will be dealt withby the Dean’s office.The last objection we shall deal with con- jcerns the Maroon personally. We have beentold that we are wrong to make an issue of thisaffair; that it just raises a stink; that it re¬sults in nothing but hurt feelings all around.To this we can reply only that the issue wasnot created by us. As long as this fraternityis unjustly refused membership in the Council ^there will be unpleasantness and hurt feeiings,and the stink will be there. If a dead mousehas been rotting in a friend’s closet for a long |time, is it better to pretend there is no odor in jhis room, or to suggest that if he removes tb ■corpse he can get rid of the bad smell? jNow that we have shown there is no goodreason for not admitting Kappa Alpha Psi, wewant to tell why the Negro fraternity shouldbe made a member of IP. Our argument forthis is simple. It is only that in all the essen- jtials that make men men, Negroes are the same jas the rest of us; and that those Negroes at-1tending the University have actualized theirpotentialities of human nature at least as muchas we have. If men are rational animals, so areNegroes; if men have souls, Negroes havethem too. jThis is a simple truth; and our scienti.sts'tell it to us. We shouldn’t have to argue about |it in this day and age, in this country. Our an-ce.stors believed it and fought for it. But it isan equally simple and scientific truth that in^things Ie.ss es.sential to human nature Negroesbiologij^ally constituted so as to appeardngly (different from us. An unfortunate psychological truth, explicable perhaps by thethesis that we are not yet sufficiently enlight¬ened to always act as right reason tells usiwe should, is that these almost superficial dif-jferences influence our behavior even more thanI more fundamental likenesses. Because somemen are black, others paler in color shrinkfrom association with them.Then isn’t it the best and bravest thing forthose of us who understand the foolish basis ofprejudice to take the lead in actual conduct'and show by our own open behavior that weJ really consider Negroes men? Certainly Uni-iversity students should be among the mostenlightened in these matters. It is their dutyto set an example for good social behavior; notto be more foolish and more timorous thanI those who have not had the advantages of ex-Iposure to truth that college education provides.I It is not the opinion of the Maroon alone thatI fraternity men should do their bit in helpingI Negroes, who of course are members of our so-[ciety, to achieve recognition of the part theyjplay in this society. Today we print letters.signed by prominent student and faculty lead-'ers who believe it quite important that Kappa[Alpha Psi be admitted to the Council. These[names are only samples: there are many more' who agree with us.I The issue is clear, the complications that'confused it have been removed. Only the fool-lish and illogical stubborness of racism canI keep Kappa Alpha Psi out of the Inter-fratern-[ity Council now. Though the rest of the world!may be going mad with crazy ideologies these[days, we have faith that University studentscan continue to go forward, free from such1 superstition. We do not think it futile to appeal(to their sense of justice. We hope that Mondaynight, our fraternity men will be courageous[enough to act as good scholars, good Ameri¬cans, and as just men.

BexBill MacyDale TillaryRobert W. JampolisRichard HimmelHarold AronsonRobe'‘t McNameeEvon VogtBud BriggsBoard of ControlDaily Maroon;I feel that it is about time someone took a realisticview of the Kappa Alpha Psi question. For years thequestion of their admittanee to the I-F Council hasbeen championed by the self-styled campus liberals.This, I believe, will be the first time anyone has comeout openly against it and stated his argument.First, how liberal are these so-called liberals? Ifthey fully intend to allow the Negroes full participationin all fraternity life, they cannot be accused of havingany but the highest ideals. However, many proponentsof the question seem to feel that a nominal membershipin the I-F Council is all that is involved and that thisalone is enough to give. It is this hypocritical attitudethat I would like to answer first. If, as has been in¬ferred, that is all that Kappa Alpha Psi wants, theyseek a shallow and questionable honor. Is it a gain inprestige to be recognized by a group and yet denied allthe privileges that should go with that recognition ?Furthermore Kai>pa Alpha Psi is recognized by theDean’s Office and there certainly is no special distinctionattached to membei*ship in the I-F Council, It is merelya central group for solving the common problems ofseveral related larger groups. Kappa Alpha Psi has nocommon problem with the other fraternities.Now to answer the true liberals, let us suppose, forthe sake of argument, that Kappa Alpha Psi were ad¬mitted as a regular member of the I-F Council. Suchan action could do nothing but iri’itate a situation whichis already bad. The members of Kappa Alpha Psiwould be exposed to the racially prejudiced man whoignores them. The unfeeling actions and remarks ofsuch an individua! could easily create a situation W'hichwould destroy in one second, years of work in tearingdown racial prejudice.To conclude' this I would like to propose what Ibelieve would be an effective attack on the real prob¬lem. There is certainly no reason why Kappa AlphaPsi should not be invited to participate in the 1-F' Sing,as they have there r definite common interest with theother fraternal organizations. Further, by increasingthoii' participation in campus activities, such as inti-a-murals, they would gain more real equality than by anypseudo-recognition on the part of the I-F Council. Theproblem is too great to be solved so superficially. Letus educate the campus first instead of trying to forcesomething through on anyone, no matter how narrowtheir views may seem.Charles Pfeiffer(Continued on page three)1 carries a conviction ofquality.

Support from FYCstudents has been excellent, thus far.The drive has now been opened to thewhole campus.Students from the third year of theFYC are cooperating to make thedrive a success. Luise Marks wishesto thank everyone, salespeople andcontributors, for their cooperation.Total receipts (through Wednes¬day evening) were $92.85. Thisamount is less than last year’s schol¬arship. However, soliciting was of¬ficially from only two classes. Theamount realized from the campusdrive should raise this figure con¬siderably.Hannah, a deserving high schoolstudent, has been recommended bythe Children’s Scholarship League.The money she receives from the cur¬rent Scholarship Drive will enableher to complete the four-year com¬mercial course at McKinley HighSchool. Her enthusiasm in school in¬dicates that she will make good useof this opportunity. It’s Arrived! Yes—The Leap Year PromOffice InstallsNew ProcedureFor ^^Cutters'^“Cutters” (not rug-cutters, though)and late-comers to classes will haveto pay for their misdoings startingnext Monday, February 5, followinga decision made by the office of theFour Year College. The fact thatsome people have abused their free¬dom, in not clearing up absencespromptly, makes this, necessary.All unexcused absences and tardi¬nesses will be made up at a studyhour held after school between 3:30and 4:30 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays,and Thursdays in room 1, 5810 Wood-lawn.The procedure to be followed is:In each class, after period attend¬ance has been taken, the teacher willread the names listed under ab¬sences. If a student enters the classafter the reading of absences, thatstudent is responsible for seeingthat the teacher marks “T” beforehis name on the period attendanceslip to denote tardiness instead of ab¬sence. If the slip has already beenpicked up, the student must clear thematter before 4:00 p.m. of the sameday by bringing to the College Officea slip on which he has written hisname, the date, and the time of hisarrival in class. This slip must beinitialed by the teacher before thestudent leaves class. Where tardinessis persistent and inexcusable, theteacher may refuse to initial the slipand the tardiness will count as an un¬excused absence.To minimize loss of time, studentswho are tardy will report directly toclass. Under the plan outlined above,their teacher makes the final decisionwhether the tardiness is excused orunexcused.Excused absence continues to behandled as before. After an absence,no student is to be permitted to enterany class without an admission slipfrom either the School Physicians’Office or the College Office.PlayfestersRehearse DailyFor Feb. DramaThe Playfesters. under the directionof George Schloss and Bob Cohn, areworking hard on their forthcomingproduction, “Corridors of the Souls,”and “The Dear Departed.” Each castrehearses for at least two hours, threetimes a week. The costume, publicityand properties committees are think¬ing seriously about their jobs.Although the press has been stern¬ly forbidden to print a word, it maybe safely predicted, after seeing onerehearsal, that the performance ofthe plays will be a phenomenal suc¬cess.Have YouHeard?DidYouKnow?Yes, We Are Surveyed In PulseBy HELAINE MOSESDid you know we like our Hu¬manities course best, our Soc.

The Pulse survey says so..The Pulse survey, that is so welldecorated with our shining faces,says a lot about us. It tells a littleabout our courses as well as our pro¬fessors’ viewpoints on their respec¬tive courses. Also it states some prob-/ lems that arise from our new set¬up.

The board will consist of one rep¬resentative from each active publica¬tion. This representative is to beeither the editor of the publication orsome one appointed by him. The pres¬ent Publications Board is generally infavor of this wording, but Correlatoreditor Wesley Holland wants the word“active” defined and wishes that theBoard consist of either the editor orbusiness manager of each publication,not an appointed representative. Forthis reason the matter will probablycome before the Council again.Adjournment cut short the discus¬sion on the next article, number four.Social CommitteeMeets as Banquet^Dance ApproachA very enthusiastic Senior ClassSocial Committee has drawn up whatpromises to be the basic idea under¬lying the class dinner.This dinner, which has become astandard tradition for all SeniorClasses, promises to be a great suc¬cess. The delicious meal will be fol¬lowed by an interesting speech afterwhich there will be informal dancing.The charge will be one dollar perperson. All members of the class andfaculty members who have been con¬nected with the class will be invitedto this great get-together.Phi Beta Sigma MeetsTo Discuss DanceAt the meeting on Jan. 29th of PhiBeta Sigma, school honorary society,the important business of the forth¬coming dance was discussed.

John Green.Faculty Advisor Jere C. MickelNight Editor: Rosalind WrightLimited LibertiesOn the same day that the newattendance regulations were is¬sued from the Four-Year Col¬lege office (yesterday), a greatdeal of controversy spreadamong the students. It wasgenerally felt that pupils werebeing treated as “kindergartenchildren,” that the liberal privi¬leges of the past and the presentrestrictions are most contradic¬tory to each other.Indeed, pupils are being treat¬ed as “kindergarten children,”but they deserve it. It is obvi¬ous that when pupils , take com¬ing late to class as a joke, ditch¬ing entire periods as somethingordinary and natural, and thereceiving of pink slips as a lotof fun, then something must bedone about it. And that is ex¬actly what happened: Studentsdid ditch classes and didn’t careabout pink slips and... some¬thing was done about it, namelyissuing of the new' attendanceregulation.The Four-Year College hasshown that it w'ants to give usmuch freedom and liberty aspossible, wherever it is deserved.The R.W.C. honor sections andfree study periods indicate thatclearly. But when a group ofstudents cannot shoulder theprivileges to which they are en¬titled it is natural that restric¬tions must be put in their waythat make ordinary school lifepossible and put a clearer mean¬ing behind the regulations ofthe school: they must be fol¬lowed.“Freedom, then, to each as hecan assume it.”Winter Tie-upFebruary 2n(lAll you girls in the 11th and 12thgrades are again invited to come tothe Winter tie-up which will be heldtoday, February 2nd at 3:45 in IdaNoyes.There will be four courts for vol¬ley-ball; eight teams, 16 people willbe on a team.In ping-pong there will be sixteenpeople who will be able to compete.If four or five people come out, sin¬gles will be organized and two out ofthree games will be played.

Smith has receivednotice from the Entrance Counselorof the University, Mr. Martin J.Freeman, that “students completingthe second year in the Four-YearCollege are eligible to take the schol¬arship examination and to apply forHonor-Entrance scholarships just asare students coming into the Univer¬sity from outside.” Applicationblanks may be obtained in the CollegeOffice or directly from Mr. Freeman. Ted FriedmannT. E. (“Honest Abe”) Friedman isthe guy smirking at you from abovethis article (we hope). You can alsocall him Ted. We don’t promise hewill answer, though. Apparently(from his remarks) he will answerit, if it is a skirt.Through the years (five of them)he has done “much”—“pretty much”—“little” (take your choice). Fresh¬man year found him in the Radioclub and a captain of an intramuralteam. He stayed in the Radio Clubthe next year and went IntramuralCaptaining twice. Last year he sud¬denly snapped out of his lethargy andwent in for extra-curriculum activi¬ties in a big way. Glee Club (Boys’),Current Affairs, Junior Class SocialCommittee, the basket ball team, TheSoccer team, and the (ahem) honor¬able Hi-Y, all had Mr. Friedman intheir midst.The real reason he is being inter¬viewed is that he is 12th grade classtreasurer this year (Rakeoffs, youknow). He is also running around be¬ing a member of the Sportsman’sClub, Hi-Y, the basket ball team andthe soccer team. The rest of Ted isbeing squeezed out, as there is nomore room here.NapervilleDefeats Seniors53 to 33Last Saturday, January 27, the U-High track team opened its seasonwith Naperville. That meet, sadthough it be, was a failure, forNaperville won by a score of 53 to 33.However, there were many highlightsworth noting. U-High took five firstplaces to Naperville’s four, thanks toYasus in the mile, Barry in the 440yd. dash, Harwood in the 880 yd.dash, Metcalf and Flook in the highjump where they tied, and O’Brienin the shot put. Incidentally, O’Brienbroke a school record, dating backto 1909, when he put the shot 48 feet,5 inches. (This is a good four inchesfurther than the previous record.)Flook, besides taking honors in thehigh jump, took second place in thepole vault and thus acquired the posi¬tion of high-point man on the seniorteam, with seven points. Other pointswere gained by Green in the hurdlesand Himmelblau in the 60 yd. dash,both taking third place. Nevertheless,in spite of the loss of the meet, wecan look forward to the oncomingmeets with confidence. So why notcome and pull for your team at thenext meet, which is scheduled for Feb¬ruary 2, 7:30 p.m. against Hammondat the Field House, 57th and Univer¬sity?Results are as follows:One mile—Won by Yasus (U.H.); second,Hortyell (N) ; third, McCabe (N).

Irene PortisThe beauteous Irene has a warmthof spirit which immediately put usat home. (And probably that’s exact¬ly where we should be.) Anyhow, we“got the dope’”. Irene is a home¬grown product, having started in theUniversity Nursery School “wayback when”. She doesn’t rememberany “express yourself” teachingmethods. What she does remember'isthat the house was red brick. (Theseimpressionable children!) In kinder¬garten she got a violent crush on herteacher Miss Adams, and developed anew style of drawing which nobodycould understand. (I tell you, she’llj be famous yet!)In first grade she again fell in lovewith her teacher. She was a very af¬fectionate soul then. Somehow thisardor for instructors has graduallycooled. Sometime during her elemen¬tary education she appeared in a cou¬ple of French plays—, “somewherearound then—.” She graduated at theend of sixth grade proudly wearinga white sailor dress with red andblue trimmings. Here she startedreminiscing about very, very, old, oldfriends.One of her hobbies is correspond¬ence. In her Sub-Freshman Year shejoined the Junior Correspondenceclub, and got a long letter from agirl from “somewhere north of Eng¬land”. (Bureau of missing persons,please note). Anyway, she hasn’tanswered it yet. In her FreshmanYear she was Vice-President of theGreenwich Village Art Club. (Pres¬ident unknown.) As a sophomore shejoined the Junior Current AffairsClub and won a debate, arguing a-gainst her own convictions that theU.S. shoulld join the League of Na¬tions. She continued in the SeniorCurent Affairs Club during her Jun¬ior and Senior years. She is now So¬cial Chairman of the Social Commit¬tee of the Girls Club, and as suchhas charge of all refreshments.(Swell gal, and smart. The way to aman’s heart is thru his stomach.)All during this time she has beenmaking various sports teams and lastyear made all-Star Hockey. Anotherhobby is dancing, which she does verywell. She doesn’t cook, sew or knit.Not very domestic. Must be import¬ed; the sweet kind. Certainly notdry.She loves dogs but has never hadone. Had a canary and some gold¬fish, but the canary was given awayand the fish turned over on theirsides, floated to the top, and “smelledto glory”.Wants to go East for her educationand to S. America for that Latin cul¬ture.Pulse—(Continued from page 3)all be ironed out.This “New Plan” which we areworking under, (and this surprisedme) was passed on by the Univer¬sity senate as far back as 1932!

Lights Lose ToFrancis Parker 33~25SPORTSCORNERBy BOB SCHWARTZDear Sports Corner:In my opinion the Weekly has notgiven enough publicity to the forth¬coming games. Recently the heavy¬weight basketball team played St.Francis, and only 6 members of thestudent body turned out to witnessthe game. I myself think that if morepeople had known of the game wewould have had a larger attendance.The swimming team seems to getenough publicity even though it isnot a major sport. Why then doesn’ti the basketball team get the attention] of the W’eekly? If crowds come out; for the swimming meets, surely theyI will come out for the basketballj games.j Jerry Soloman.To Jerry Soloman—I This column will use its influenceI on the Sports editor to obtain morej “publicity” for the Basketball teams.If in the future it does not receiveI its full share then I shall providespace in this column.4i * *Last Saturday at the fieldhouse theschool saw the product of neglect andin-activity on their part. The studentbody has given practically no supportto the track team (even when it wasI winning championships), and conse-j quently the former members of thei Track team have chosen to come outj for Basketball and other teams whichI have, in the past received the supportof the student body. You, the stu¬dents, are responsible for the condi-I tion of our track team, you have neg-j lected it, you have not supported it,you are at fault!!! In the futurecome out for the track meets; if youcan-not play on a school team atleast you can support and encourageit!!! Game TodayAt BartlettAs the whistle blew ending thegame, the U. High lightweights hadlost another heartbreaking basket¬ball game. Francis Parker, winningby the score of 33 to 25, ended theteam’s two-game winning streak. Ingoing down in defeat, our boys play¬ed one of their best games of theyear. Twenty-five points is nothingto be ashamed of, even if the team didlose. The Francis Parker team hadplayed all together thirty-seven un¬defeated games and after the gamethey admitted our team had giventhem the best fight of the year!Out of the junior class stepped one,Bill Roberts to again play an amaz¬ing game. To those who have follow¬ed the lights last year, they knowthat ten points was usually the totalscore for the team. In only two outof the eight games did the lightsscore more than ten points. Last Fri¬day, Roberts scored a total of tenpoints—five baskets made from farout on the floor. This brings his to¬tal to twenty-nine points, nine morethan the total number of points scor¬ed by the high point man on lastyear’s squad!The fifteen remaining points weredivided among only three players.Bill Kruger played a nice game withseven points to his credit, five onfree throws. Rothstein and Jaros, thetwo first string forwards, each madefour points. Credit is due to JerrySoloman, who, although he didn'tmake the scoring column along withKruger and Roberts, played all butthe last ten seconds of the game.The game was very fast and ex¬citing, the score at the half being18 to 10 in favor of Francis Parker.At the end of the third quarter I’.High drew up to within one point oftying the score, (20 to 19.). FrancisParker show'ed amazing accuracy intheir shooting. Without a doubt theyare the best team we have faced todate.This column in the future shall tryto present the students’ idea on theschool sports as well as this colum¬nists’ ideas. However, if no one sendsin opinions then you shall have toread only my ideas, so-o-o-o send inyour opinions if you want them ex¬pressed. In Parker’s tiny gym U. High’sheavyweights suffered another defeat.This time the score was 46-14. It wasa good fight, but no one was fouledout. (Heck!) Our boys complained ofthe dirty tactics of the other team,but we all know that they showedtheir spirit and returned in kind. Sohere’s to livelier basketball games!Sivimmers DefeatedBy Bowen38-28The swimming team lost its sec¬ond consecutive meet last Tuesdaywhen it succumbed to Bowen 38-28.As in the Thornton meet, the firstplaces were split between the twoteams, but Bowen took most of thesecond and third places, thus aggre¬gating their extra ten points.U. High’s first places came in thebreast stroke race, where Gronertnosed out his teammate Nusbaum inthe slow time of 1:19.5; in the backstroke.

Juniors Lose38 to 21Last Saturday morning the juniortrack squad lost its initial meet toNaperville High, 38-21. Due to theabsence of Moore, Halverson, Wright,and Stoffer, the team lost manyevents, many points, and the meet.Naperville’s high-pointer was Wid-der, with 313 points to his credit,while Menaul chalked up 11 pointsfor U-High.The high spots for the meet werethe pole vault, the shot put, and thelow hurdles.

During the depression,many large employers have droppedthe young workers first when cuttingtheir force and some have hired themlast when expansion again becamepossible.In the present critical situation itis imperative that none of the humanresources of the nation be wastedthrough haphazard a n d inefficientmethods of vocational selection, prep¬aration, and cTnployment.

H. Norgren Coach: L. E. SachsAfter two weeks of practice the Mid¬way basketball team reopens its cam¬paign against Loyola University to¬morrow night at 8 in the Fieldhouse.The game, which is the last non-con¬ference tilt scheduled at home for theMaroon cagers, will bring to light anewly risen start on the local basket¬ball horizon in the person of Loyola’sjust eligible star sophomore forward,Mickey Rottner.During the two-week interim, whichwas occasioned by the presence ofsemester exams at other schools, theChicago squad met and twice defeat¬ed a team composed of former Chi¬cago stars, 32-15 and 42-29. Theperiod in which no regular gameswere scheduled was also filled withwork on defense.Maroon Lineup:As to the status of the startinglineup, the Maroons are set with onealternation, since both Carl Stanleyand Paul Zimmerman have a claimon a starting position. Both menwill continue to see a good deal ofaction. Another potential startermay be Jack Fons who showed com¬mendable form in the second of theOne Two - - -;Down For TheCount Of Ten?By BOB LAWSONA long, long time ago Universitystudents would flock into Bartlettgymnasium to see fellow students at¬tempt to pound one another intosubmission. Sadistic as people are,they enjoyed the gory spectacle ofseeing someone’s face smashed up.But no more can they do this. Andall because Chicago men liked Han¬ley’s and the good life too much.Although boxing never existed hereas an intercollegiate sport, it did asan intra-mural sport. There was nottoo much enthusiasm among the menabout, there being only about sevenor eight entrants in each weight divi¬sion. But there was much enthusiasmamong their friends. Big crowdswould collect to watch these matchesand the more battered up one con¬testant became, the more the specta¬tors liked it.Lack of TrainingFinally some official decided thatthe lack of training of the men par¬ticipating would result in permanentinjury or death to someone, and sointra-mural boxing was abolished.Since then, there has been no of¬ficial work done along the pugilisticline by Chicago. There have been andstill are boxing classes, however pro¬fessional, conducted by S p y r o sVorres, wrestling coach and formerprofessional boxer. But even thesehave been dwindling off, saysVorres. Nobody here is willing totrain intensively enough to become agood boxer. Such chores as four milesof road-work every morning fright¬ens the average fellow off. Besidesthis, black eyes are not conducive togood looks and lady-slaying; this ispractically the last straw to the pros¬pective Chicago boxer.Still Some FightersDespite these drawbacks, there areabout seven or eight good fighters inthe school^ most of whom have beguntheir training elsewhere.These boxing classes are open andfree to anyone who would like tolearn the art of self-defense. All theequipment in the gym is at their dis¬posal. This includes punching bags,sand-bags, pulleys, gloves, etc. Evenopponents can be obtained. But veryfew people take advantage of theseopportunities, and, probably veryfew will. It’s too tough.If enough men prove themselvescapable and willing enough, it is like¬ly that boxing would become an inter¬collegiate sport although only oneBig Ten school, Wisconsin, has a box-team at s^nt. Alumni games. He had previouslybeen slowed up by an ankle injury inthe Northwestern game, but showedno sig:n of slowing up in his briefappearance Wednesday night.The rest of the Maroon lineup re¬mains the same with Joe Stampf atthe other forward. Captain Louns-bury at center, and Richardson andJorgenson at the guards.The visitor’s team will be composedof the above-mentioned Rottner andEd Schell at the forwards. Bob Gra¬ham at center and Dan Cahill andCaptain George Wenskus at theguards.Track Men LeaveFor Columbus toMeet SuperiorsTen Chicago trackmen will set outfrom campus to meet the Ohio Statesteamroller at Columbus. Ten, andonly ten, Chicago track-men will nothave much chance of doing anythingmore than keeping their opponentsdown to a respectable score.Because of the failure of some ofChicago’s best runners, Letts, Par¬sons, Wasem, and Abramson, tocome out, the team will be withoutseconds for most of the distances,and many runners will have to entertwo or even three events to make.something resembling a full repre¬sentation.Capt. Davenport will run the 60yard dash, the low hurdles, and therelay. Transfer-student Baetty willenter the 440 and, together withHirsh who runs the 60 dash andStabenau who does the 440, will en¬ter the relay. Lambert will be in themile, and Kasius will participate inthe high-jump. Powell, in the 880,and Davidson, in the pole-vault,should have good chances of placingin their events, as should Ray, whowill enter the high hurdles, low hur¬dles, and high jump. Rendelmanshould put his shot further than anyman on the Ohio team.S Swimmers ExpectVictory AgainstIndiana TomorroivThe University of Chicago’s swim¬ming team is expected to repeat lastyear’s 50 to 34 victory over Indianawhen it opens its home schedule ofBig Ten games in the Bartlett Gym¬nasium tank tomorrow afternoon at2.Despite the loss of Ralph McCollum,capable sprinter, who will be out ofthe Hoosier meet because of illness,Chicago probably has enough pointwinners to overcome the Indiana team.Leo Luckhardt, sophomore surprise;Bill Leach, a transfer from the foot¬ball team where he was a quarter¬back; and Bob Stein, veteran dashman, will handle the free style eventsin the absence of McCollum.Anderson SwimsCaptain Jim Anderson, No. 3 breaststroke swdmmer in the Big Ten, JohnSpeck, Jerry Markoff, and Art Bethke,sophomore star, will be the Maroonrepresentatives in the breast strokedivision. Jack Bernhardt, sophomorePaul Jordan, and Bill Speck will leadChicago backstroke scoring.The Maroon swimmers lost the firstof seven dual meets on the season’sschedule to Minnesota at Minneapolislast week 36 to 48. The water poloteam will not compete tomorrowagainst the Hoosier swimmers. Itsnext contest is with Whiting Wednes¬day evening.
