Merriam had been asked earlierby the mayor to accept the job buthad declined, saying that because ofhis retirement from the University, hocould not act in the capacity of chair¬man.To entice him into accepting theposition, Mayor Kelly offered him a$:.0 per diem salary in his post, whichwould be purely an advisory one.However, the appropriation for thechairman’s salary would not excee<i$."),000 a year, the council deci<led..Merriam has reached retirementape at the University, but has re¬ceived offers from other institution,sto lecture and teach.

He ranfor mayor as a RepuHican candidatein 1911, has been ward alderman,and (luring the New Deal years, hasbeen a frequent consultant in Wash¬ington, serving both on the famed re¬organization committee, and the na¬tional resources committee. What Will the Liberals Do?This is a year of reaction. From the political upheavalsthroughout the world, from the ambition of bad men, from theinertia of democrats, from the susceptibility so many people haveto being fooled; from a multitude of pathetic causes, the oncestrong voice of liberalism seems in danger of fading out. Afterseveral decades of being in fashion the spirit of liberalism islosing its inspiring freshness.Even in this country and on this traditionally progressivecampus the forces that once fought hardest in defense of humanvalues are beginning to show signs of old age and strain. Thedoctrine the more advanced American liberals used to look to¬wards hopefully has lost most of its rallying power because ofthe soil Communism has acquired through the bad name SovietRussia has given it in actual practice. The organization whichsymbolized the hopes of students for progressive social thinkinghas been discredited since the ASU pledged itself to condonewhatever Soviet Russia does, good or bad. All over the countryreactionary voices are now loud in taking advantage of their op¬portunity to gloat “I told you so’' at liberalism.Caught between two sets of dogmas, what do the liberalsintend to do now? If they remain inactive they cannot long ex¬pect to survive. The repressiveness of these dogmas which cantolerate no intelligent opposition will make short work of crush¬ing all the goods liberals have tried to attain, let alone the im¬provements they have not yet realized. Then the liberals will haveonly their own lethargy to blame.But the spirit of real liberalism is more than a superficialtoy of fashion. As long as men want to live human lives thisspirit cannot be utterly lost. But something must fight to keepthe spirit of freedom from sleeping.To revive positive liberalism on the University campus atleast a good student organization could be helpful. That the ASUas it is now is useless for such a purpose has been shown by itsrecent actions. The Student Union is dominated by an activeclique: the clique is loyal to a political dogma. The rest of themembers seem helpless. Under these conditions it is ridiculous toexpect the ASU to do anything but hurt the cause of freedom.Belonging to it now is just a waste of liberal students’ time.If campus liberals want to come back into their own theyshould cither put forth enough effort to reclaim the ASU or elsefound another organization. That voting today for the amend¬ment on the Finnish war will be an important step towards lib¬eralizing the ASU is shown sufficiently by the anxiety some ofthe leaders have shown in trying to say as little as possible aboutthe referendum.Voting today won’t take much effort. If ASU liberals can’tdo even this much, then they too are assisting the reaction. Conference Stars RunAt Fieldhouse TonightCoaches MaroonsKatzAddressesLaw SchoolOn Netv Plan Maroon Reporter Haunts‘Doll’s House’ RehearsalDean Wilber G. Katz in n lecturela.'^t evening sponsored by the Bar As¬sociation traced the evolution of the‘‘new plan” of the Law School from itshcfrinnin^ to its present form. Char¬acterizing the new plan as “a step ina lonjr development” Katz explainedtile roots of it in terms of the legaleducation theories of Langdell andAmes of the Harvard Law School andthe writings of Justice Oliver Wen¬dell Holmes.He then showed how the “newplan” was prophesied by ProfessorFreund of this university in a discus-.'^ion of the form a law school at Chi¬cago should take as early as 1901 or1902. But this body of suggestionswas not adopted. Dean Katz explain¬ed, in part because Professor Beal,the Law School’s first dean, was not■'sympathetic to them, and becauseother fields of Social Science had notbeen clarified enough in the early partof the century to make their intergra-tion with law practical. Dean Katz ex¬plained further that the rapid ac¬cumulation of knowledge during theseyears in the field of Social Science al-■'so militated against adoption ofFreund’s suggestions.Turning to the new plan as it nowexists, the speaker said that beforel^he principles underlying the planwere embodied in a system of legaleducation, material about the teach¬ing qualifications that it would makenecessary, the student preparation itwould persuppose, and the material inother fields that could be used wasgathered and studied. With the re¬sults of this study in mind the newidan was designed.In the design, the fact that “mu¬tual education between students” pro¬duces valuable results was kept inniind, and the importance of the prin¬ciples of law was given emphasis. Atthe conclusion of his lecture Deankatz answered questions put to himby membei's of the audience. By DEMAUEST POLACHECKDA’s Workshop opens a two nightrun of Ibsen’s “A Doll’s Hou.se” Tues¬day night, with a cast of five new¬comers and DA’s prime .star BettyAnn Evans. In an empty theatre lastnight sat a Maroon reporter watch¬ing an earnest rehearsal of an earn¬est play. What follow's are the ob¬servations of what he saw.To start with, Betty Ann Evans hasfor the first time serious competitionfor acting honors in the same play.Grace Farjeon is a newcomer fromthe east and plays the role of Chris¬tina convincingly, displaying a finesense of timing and a gratifyinggrasp of the fundamentals of acting.Miller as ThorvaldBob Miller as Thorvald shows in¬sight in his characterization. He hassome unusual capacities in deliver¬ing lines which are not found in theaverage college boy actor. His voiceis fine and well trained. With propermake-up, which will add tw’enty yearsto his exterior he ought to comethrough with one of the better DAperformances.Jeff Mongerson comes into a fatpart in Dr. Rank, but his playing wasslightly uneven during the rehearsallast night. It should be interestingto see the final result of his work. I Also working in the cast are LouisI Barron as Krogstadt, Norma Stone! as the maid, and Betty Ann Evansas Nora.

Whether the ASUwill be a united force working forthings like aid to sharecroppers, orwhether it will disintegrate or deteri¬orate over the Finn problem hingeson the outcome of today’s vote.There are a lot of people in theASU who want to fight for the shai’e-croppers, but who insist on going onrecord against Soviet aggression too.It’s the chance that Liberals havebeen demanding ever since the ASUprogram was published.

Michigan Favored to Re¬peat; Indiana Rated Sec¬ond.By BOB LAWSONThe University of Michigan’s trackteam arrives today prepared to seekher seventh consecutive Big Ten in¬door title in the annual meet tonightand tomorrow night in the Field-house. Despite the loss of Bill Watson,the Wolverines reign as favorites torepeat this year. Indiana is rated thestrongest contender.Features of the meet will be therecord-breaking attempts of threeoutstanding competitors—Roy Coch¬ran of Indiana, Don Canham of Mich¬igan, and Ralph Schwarzkopf ofMichigan. All three have alreadybroken the records in their respectiveevents in dual meets. Cochran runsthe 440, Schwarzkopf the two-mile,and Canham high jumps.Michigan FavoredExperts give Michigan a slightedge over the Hoosiers because ofMichigan’s reserve strength. Concededonly two first places, the championsmust pick up their points from sec¬ond and third places. Such men asCaptain Warren Breidenbach, A1Smith, Dye Hogan, Stan Kelley, andTommy Jester are invaluable to theWolverine cause. Unsung and unher¬alded, they, nevertheless, frequentlyprovide the margin of victory.In addition to Cochran, the chal¬lenging Hoosiers have potential point-winners in Archie Harris, CampbellKane, Bob Hoke, Ed Hedges, Mar-celleous Jenkins, and the relay team.According to pi’edictions, Michiganshould win by about one point, 34 to33. In thii'd place should be Wiscon¬sin with 25. Last year the Maize andBlue won with 41V2 points to 24% forWisconsin and 20 for Indiana.Best bets in Wisconsin’s squad of16 are Ed b.nith, negro hurdler whois undefeated so far this season, andBill Malisch and George Paskvan inthe weight events.

Rubins, John Stevens.Hart Wurzburg, Marian Castleman, Ernest LeiserNight Editor—Mary GrahamAssistants—Pudgy and Beefy Marion Jeriiberg is Star afterJane Warren is DisjointedFraternity CooperativeThe Student Committee takes great pridein impartiality about awarding leadership posts.To clinch their absolute fairness in selectingnext year’s officers, they have been extremelycareful to appoint no more than one memberfrom any one fraternity. Even considerationsof past good service on the Committee were notsufficient to mitigate the rigour of the resolvenot to let any fraternity get more than oneleadership position. The facts about next year’sappointments may be found below.But employing such a criterion of fair playseems an amazing thing to do for somethinglike the Student Social Committee. Only if theCommittee existed to promote social life amongthe fraternities could this method really be ap¬propriate. The Social Committee is not thiskind of organization: its greatest task is to at- |tempt to provide some kind of social life for |students who can’t get it through fraternities.None of the functions it sponsors are limitedto the brothers. There is no more justificationfor overemphasizing the importance of fra¬ternities on this Committee than there was forthe Blackfriars’ Board last year.Probably all those appointed for next yearhave demonstrated their competence elsewhere,if not on the Social Committee. The fact re¬mains, however, that in making this affair afraternity matter the Student Social Commit¬tee is divorcing itself further from the campusat large; and it is treating some of its ownfraternity members who have worked hard forit unfairly. The Mortar Boards overwhelmed the Quadranglerslast night in a star cage meet, 29-18. Star of the firstquarter, Jane Warren, was carefully removed after shedisjointed a finger. However, quickly taking the lime¬light was Marion Jernberg, who made many baskets.Once three in a row'.Most consistent of the Mortar Board squad was thedeadly trio of Peg Hutchin.son, Pat Hutchinson, and“Killer” Culliton. All spectators agreed Culliton wasInterested Spectator toughest younglady of the evening.Everywhere herskill and strongarmmethod stumped theQuads and some¬times the Mortal-Boards, too.Quads’ livelieststar was Mary Mac-Carthy who with theaid of cagey Her-schel, Goodwillie,and suntannedStrandberg held theQuad defense. How¬ever, only for thefirst quarter werethe Quads able tohold the rampingMortar Boards to an.. .what's a mustache among frietidsf evenish score.Best looking dud of the game was Pat Lyding, whoappeared on the floor for a brief flash beauty but in¬sisted on just holding the ball. She was quickly re¬placed by Caroline Wheeler.The trio of the Hutches and Culliton was fast andfurious. They didn’t make too many baskets but werethey ever tough. In the first quarter Jane Warrenplayed almost the whole game by herself. She was onall points of the floor confusing Quads with wild ges¬tures. She, however, made baskets. Lots of baskets,as a matter of fact.Inside StoryPEARL C. RUBINSRICHARD C. MASSELLAs further indication that the Student Social Com¬mittee is not all that the name conveys, the recentlydiscovered facts concerning the appointments to thisyear Washington Prom committee are significant.The Prom w^as a success, but the underlying mech¬anisms of appointments is about as rank instance ofpolitical manuvering the campus has had to swallowsince the recent Blackfriar’s scandal. On the surface,all was “clean as a whistle.” Blond joy-boy Reynoldsannounced in the Maroon that all those wishing towork on the committee should sign up in Miss Den¬ton’s office for an interview. The appointments weremade and for the most part kept. Few people knew-that when handsome Psi U Greg Huffaker went toReynolds, Reynolds told him he needn’t come aroundfor an interview since Reynolds said that he knew allabout Huffaker’s past activities. This seemed all rightfor Huffaker, who had worked for two years on theStudent Social Committee; but then he wasn’t appoint¬ed to the Prom committee and couldn’t understandwhy. Reports came fast and wild.It seems that Tillery, who capably engineered theProm, beat Huffaker out for business manager by twovotes. That was all right but when Huffaker, a manwith two years of solid experience, who had been en-courageci to continue his work for the committee,wasn’t even appointed to the committee, the insidestory came out.Men were not appointed sojely on the considerationof ability, but over and above this was the all inclu¬sive consideration of fraternities. The Student SocialCommittee decided that not more than one man fromeach fraternity was to be appointed to the Prom Com¬mittee. Thus because affable, dark-haired A1 Schmuswas to be appointed, brother Huffaker didn’t have achancePhi Psi Reynolds thinks that this ruling—no morethan one man from each fraternity—is a good thing.He has remarked that he used restraint in not appoint¬ing his fraternity brothers.Campus critics claim the situation presents to thestudent body, not merely a plea for justice for Huff- Best crack of the evening came from Caroline jWheeler who screeched in the middle of the game, “Peg, |you’ve got my man.” Next door neighbor Grossman jinformed me it wasn’t a very likely story. Most breath- jtaking event was the Warren-Jernberg collision earlyin the game. For a while Mortar Board routers wereworried about “uppers” (teeth, you know). Mosttouching sight of the game was when Sill fouled Mac-Carthy, Most valiant trys in the game were made byShirley Burton who fought bravely against MortarBoard passes. She even made a basket. Peg Hutchin¬son came through with the most beautiful basket of thegame. Betty Miller just came through. Most spec¬tacular sight of the game was the struggle of Burtonand Sill on the floor for possession of the ball. Onlyfree throw made in the game was Culliton’s.The game was fairly and cleanly played, and gotresounding yells and wild screams from the interestedspectators, the most interested of whom was EleanorRoosevelt who “just happen to be passing through.”Also around were Dean and Mrs. Randall quietly root¬ing for the Mortar Boards so the Quads couldn’t hearthem. In fact I didn’t even hear them so who knowswho they were rooting for. (That’s tact isn’t it?)MB cheerleading was led by the most glamorouswoman there, Beati Gaidzik, dressed chicly in longblack bloomers and the most common looking middy ofthe season. In her hair she had two pink ribbonsunusually arranged to make her hair look like Alfalfa.Between halves Peg Hutchinson tried desperately todisarrange her with no effect.Quad cheers were led by Mary Osburn. On theQuad side v/ere all kinds of men like Bud Linden root¬ing for Lindsay’s home team, Carl Stanley, Simon Al¬len, Bob Herschel and lots of others. All the gals wereout. Jean Phillips, Rosalie Phillips, Mary Ryerson,Jean Kruder, who was in shorts, Lucy Hoover, HarrietLindsay (or did I say that?), Pat Wolfhope, Jean Scott,Natalie Cline, Elise Young and oh, so many others.On the Mortar Board rafters were Janet and Mar¬garet Peacock, Hillard Thomas (aren’t you on thewrong side, brother?) Bob Miller, Bruce Mitchell,Wendy Wendrick, Cbel Grossman (my right hand atthese sport mahoskases), Ruthie Scott, of the “one, two,three, kick” Scotts, Shirley Smith, Punk Warfield, Pat-Warfield, and other familiar and not so faces.The Maroon and I are greatly indebted to BobCrowe and Cbel Grossman for pointing out points ofinterest, and to Ruth Scott. It was a fine game. Bothteams fought bravely, with their fingernails. The scorewas 29-18 but nobody seemed to know the difference.

FRIDAY, MARCH 8, 1940High School Heads Face NeedFor Readjustment Of CurriculaStudy Problems of Youthand Education for Worldof Today.“Secondary school principals andsuperintendents recognized the needfor a readjustment of the high schoolcurriculum for the first time at theSt. Louis convention,” stated RalphW. Tyler, chairman of the Depart¬ment of Education, when asked tocomment upon the education meetings.He went on to explain that in themeetings a large number of impor¬tant subjects were taken up, but thatthe secondary education problem in¬terested him most.“There needs to be a different pro¬gram in the high schools of the coun¬try,” Tyler went on to explain, andcited a multitude of facts to bear outhis point. About 50% of the youthswho graduate from high schools, and80% of the youths in that age bracketwho are in school, will not be em¬ployed in white collar or highly skilledjobs after they leave school. In thePolksville experiment, it was foundthat most of the youths who went onto .secondary schools went, not be-cau.se they wanted to, but becausethey could not get work. An NYA survey showed that 25%is the maximum number of graduatesthat will ever get into a trade within10 years after graduation. It showedthat most youths are unemployed forat least a year after graduation fromhigh school, and that when they doget their first jobs, 65% of them arepurely repetitive and involve no skillat all, while 25% require a skill thatit would take six weeks to learn.Face ReadjustmentThis is the first time that the prob¬lem of the readjustment of the entiresecondary school program has beenfaced.“A feeling of the individual youth’simportance and a dignifying of allwork, in itself is something that hasto be achieved.” Tyler explained thatthe standards of value now developeddon’t include attitudes and ideals ofwork.“The youth of today supposedlyhave no country to build, no frontiersto broaden—and what is also impor¬tant to recognize no free land to getfrom the government. A nation shoulduse the production of its people whichthe United States certainly doesn’t.The youth should be able to expressthemselves in more active ways thanreading,” and Ralph W. Tyler went on to point out some experiments inthe new curricula.Survey DesiresMany of these started with a com¬munity survey by the youth of whatkind of life they would like to have,and in these took up what was to bedesired in the way of food, shelter,clothing, recreational facilities, etc.In a southern school half of theprogram was built around somethingimportant for the community. Theyattacked and are attacking the prob¬lems of soil erosion, a very poor diet(by building a refrigeration plant),and the lack of recreational facilitieswith amazing success.Educators are constantly becomingmore conscious of the needs of youthand are trying to look out for them,said Tyler, in conclusion.

AAichigan Ave., Chicago, Randolph 4347HANLEY# By DICK LEVINTeams from four colleges will meetat Bartlett Gym tonight for the BigTen conference gymnastic meet. OnlyChicago, Iowa, Minnesota, and Illi¬nois will be entered. The otherschools, because of the years of train¬ing necessary to turn out a good gjTn-nast, have been unable to get a com¬plete representation.Contrary to the policy of otherschools who maintain ten men squads,each man specializing in one partic¬ular feat, Chicago will only enter fourgymnasts to cover the entire field.Captain Glenn Pierre and Courtneyand Earl Shanken will enter all theevents while A1 Robertson will stickto his tumbling. All four of the menare able to do a twist-and-a-half som¬ersault off the floor, an extremelydifficult trick.I-M-(Continued from page one)A1 Ronander was by all odds themost advanced player on either teamas he led his saints to victory overthe Schrimmers of ADPhi. Althoughhe scored but five points personally,he was responsible for nearly everyone of Paff’s eight tallies for theclergy. Harry Topping was outstand¬ing for Alpha Delt. He bagged fivecounters personally to tie for the los¬ers’ scoring honors with all-star CalSawyier, who was thoroughly bottledup by the preachers’ defense.C.T.S. started slowly; neither teamwas able to score for the first fewminutes, but about the middle of thesecond period, the Ronandermen be¬gan to click, and from then on theoutcome of the game was never indoubt.The Psi U Owls went down to foui-thplace in the finals basketball rank¬ings as the result of their defeat byPhi Gam, a team which they had de¬feated earlier in the season. AlsNorling and Rider netted six pointsapiece for the winners, while MacLel-lan counted seven times for the van¬quished joy boys.Psi U “B” finally met its match inAlpha Delt“B” for the “B” champion¬ship of the campus, but a few breaksin the form of Alpha Delt bonershelped immensely as the Owls over¬came a one point half time deficit tocome out on top 17-14.Conference—(Continued from page one)and his record to date is the best inthe Big Ten with the exception ofHarris of Indiana, who is favored forthe top spot.Chicago EntriesThe weak Chicago squad is enter¬ing only nine men with none of themhaving a chance for much better thanthird. Johnny Davenport, conferencechampion two years ago in the 60-yard dash, Ed Davidson, pole vaulter,Hugh Rendleman, who has put theshot 48 feet 6 inches in practice, andJim Ray in the high jump, are theones from whom Coach Merriam ex¬pects his few points.The meets will be held at 8 o’clockon each night, and C-book holders re¬ceive a cut-rate price each night.Tickets are $.25 and $.50 with C-books; $1.00 and $1.50 without.Accurate and RapidLens DuplicationsAND FRAMES REPAIREDYOUR PRESCRIPTION FILLEDNELSON OPTICALCOMPANYDR.

While Chicago isbest known for its continuity andform, the other schools have concen¬trated on difficulty. This makes theirposition in the meet very precariousand, with breaks, Chicago has an ex¬cellent chance of coming out on top.Injured MaroonsChicago’s gymnastic team has beensuffering under several severe handi¬caps. Capt. Glenn Pierre will have toperform with a broken wrist. Both ofthe Shanken twins and A1 Robertsonare suffering from ripped hands, dueto the all-inclusiveness of their gym¬nastic activities forced upon them bythe shortage of men. Coach Hofferhas been in the hospital over theselast crucial days of preparation forthe conference, his place being takenby Irwin Beyers.Pick WrestlersFor Meet Today \The five men who will representChicago at the Big Ten conferencewrestling meet at Purdue today andtomorrow have been selected. Zafroswill wrestle in the 128 pound class,Capt. Colin Thomas in the 145, Stonein the 155, Moore in the 175, and iWeiss in the heavyweight class. Zaf- iros has lost the necessary six pounds |to move himself down from the 136 iweight to the 128, where he should'have a better chance than Pyle, who |previously held this division, to place ^in the conference.This meet shall probably be the last ifor Chicago’s wrestling team, as theNationals will occur over the springvacation and, unless some man doesoutstanding work at the Conference,will not be entered by Chicago.Chicago’s undefeated team shouldstand a good chance of placing in theconference meet. “The team,’’ claims !Coach Vorres, “started out green this iyear, and has shown considerable im- |provement. Next year, with Moore, iStone, Zafros, and Weiss back, we jshould do even better. The season!has been, in all respects, highly suc¬cessful.”^VAA PRESIDENTAt an election Tuesday WAA mem¬bers elected Dorothy Ingram as theirnew president.
