There are at theUniversity now several students liv¬ing in various fraternity houses whichgave aid to last year’s campaign, andthe committee hopes that other houseswill follow the Phi Lam’s suit andprovide room and board for next year.Another pledge of aid came from the^ Kimbark Cooperative which promisedj to contribute a quarter of its yearly' dividend. This will amount to approxi-I mately $60.Other ContributionsThe other major contribution to theDrive came Sunday morning whenover $200 was collected at the morn¬ing service at the University Chapel.It is estimated that over eight hun¬dred people gathered to hear theeminent Oriental scholar. Dr. T. Z.Koo, speak. Besides the cash contribu¬tions $15 was pledged to the drive atthe service.To aid the Chapel the Committeepromised to supply its own ushersand Mimi Evans succeeded in enlist¬ing the aid of such prominent clubgirls as Jane Myers, Ruth Steele,Clari.ssa Rahill, Alice Lowery, andJoan Sill. This is the second time theChapel has oflFere<l its facilities to theRefugee Committee; the first time be¬ing at a special Easter service, thetotal collections of these services com¬ing to more than $fi00.Blackfriars^ ShowBest in Year SayFirst AudiencesBy DAVID MARTIN“Considering who wrote it,” saidEmmet Deadman ex-chairman of theDaily Maroon, “I don’t see how itcame out so well.” This was his com¬ment on Blackfriars’ 1940 show “Pa¬tients, Please!” According to ChuckPaltzer, Dean Leon P. Smith remark¬ed “This is more like it. It’s the firstgood Blackfriars I’ve seen in fouryears.” This appeared to be the con¬sensus of opinion of students in thefirst week-end audience: that it wasthe best show they had seen in theirone to three years at the University.Jimmy Charlton is reported to havesaid, “1 could go for some of thosenurses myself.” Commenting on thepurity of the humor Dean WilliamRandall gave his blessings .saying, inpart, “it’s O.K.” The perennial NelsFuqua, thinking in terms of truth andnot publicity, says it’s the best showsince “One Foot in the Aisle.” Half Of FraternitiesFail To Vote On SAEAll American“All American”W ehlan,-Almost' Art Show WinnersThe winners of the Ida Noyes; Student Art Show will be announc¬ed at a tea from 4 to 6 today in IdaNoyes Hall to which everyone isi invited.

Campus Rumored Attacked BySpring; Report UnconfirmedBy DAN WINOGRADA report from a usually reliablesource stated that for a few briefmoments yesterday morning, springcame to the study-torn, thought-pocked campus of the University ofChicago. The rumor however has notbeen confirmed.Hardened observers weep whenthey think what spring will mean to acampus which has not seen a ray ofsunshine for lo these many months.Much of what has been built up underthe tutelage of the kindly, middle-aged King Hutch I stands to be sw-eptaway by such sordid things as w'armbreezes the welling up of sap in thetrees, and the laying dow'n of saps inthe grass.Sweeping BlitzkreigWell-informed authorities predictthat if the main attack of spring isanything like yesterday’s skirmish, itwill result in a sweeping blitzkreig.Administration forces are reported every lawn and plot of grass in therealm.Rumors state that the aging Kingis in hiding, but old-timers say this isstrictly usual, and refuse to take it asthe sign of a crisis. An attack, not byspring, on the King’s palace was re¬pelled last week, but before the Kingwon out it is reported that the veryhalls in his home were running red.Arthur H. ComptonGiven Franklin Medal By DICK HIMMELRuth Wehlan, the Daily Maroon’sentrant in Paramount Picture’s con¬test to find the “All-American CollegeQueen”, was selected as the state fi¬nalist in the contest it was announcedyesterday. She nosed oat contestantsfrom all the other colleges and uni¬versities in Illinois, including North-westerns much publicized Lois Emery,Syllabus queen selected by Cecile B.DeMille.The selection was made not onbeauty alone, but on personality andability.

Meager Results IndicateNegative Council Verdicton Admittance.By BILL HANKLAIn an attempt to pierce the mist ofuncertainty surrounding the is.sue ofmembership in the InterfraternityCouncil for Sigma Alpha Epsilon theDaily Maroon canvassed the fifteenhouses in the Council late last night tolearn the results of voting that was totake place in all chapter meetings lastnight. The Maroon’s only reward wasto learn that indecision, uncertaintyand misunderstanding still prevailed,as a sadly incompleted report was re¬ceived.Seven DecideOf the fifteen fraternities only sev¬en reported definite decisions, the re¬maining eight reported either thatthey had not been notified of the ques¬tion or that they couldn’t make uptheir minds.However on the basis of thesemeager returns it was clearly indi¬cated that the Council will take astand against dormitory fraternities.Six of the seven who announced de¬cisions voted against the admission ofSAE into the Council.Culp is questionedWhen results began coming in sosketchily the Maroon contacted JohnCulp, Chairman of the InterfraternityCouncil. It asked first if all fraterni¬ties were to vote on the SAE questionlast night. The answer was that theywere, definitely and that the Councilwas to meet Wednesday to discuss theresults.If this was so, why had so manyfraternities been ignorant of the ques¬tion? Were the various houses informed directly? In answering Culpdeclared that if houses didn’t knowabout it was their own fault. Therewere notices in the Maroon, and rep¬resentatives at the last Council meet¬ing were instructed to inform theirrespective chapters. However onlynine representatives attended thismeeting.Secrecy?Still puzzled by the lack of resultsthe Maroon asked if there was anysecrecy concerning the decisionsreached last night. To this Culp re¬plied that the Council wanted only to(Continued on page two)Carl SandburgMakes InitialLecture May 2“Romanticism and Realism in A-meiican Literature” will be the sub¬ject of Carl Sandburg’s first lectureon campus on May 2. Sandburg willalso speak on “American Tall Talesand Nonsense Stories”, May 7; “TheAmerican Song Bag”, May 9; “Lin¬coln, the Myth and the Man”, May14; “The Unfathomed Lincoln”, May16; and “The Laughter of Lincoln”,May 21.Each of Sandburg’s lectures will bein Mandel Hall at 8:30. Tickets canbe obtained without charge at the In¬formation Office on or after April 25.Sponsored by Walgreen FoundationThe Sandburg lectures are beingconducted under the sponsorship ofthe Walgreen foundation which wasestablished two years ago when thelate Charles Walgreen donated $550,-000 “for the study of American In¬stitutions”. Last year the foundationbrought such noted figures to thecampus as former president Benes ofCzechoslovakia, Walter Lippmann,and Lindsay Rogers.Sandburg recently completed “TheWar Years”, a four volume biogra¬phy dealing with Lincoln’s adminis¬tration as president. It was a continu¬ation of “The Piairie Years” whichSandburg wrote on Lincoln’s earlylife. The biography has been favor¬ably reviewed by Beard, Commager,and other noted American historians.While Sandburg is probablv bestknown for his biographies of Lincolnand his free and spirited poetry, hehas also been active in journalisticwork and is an accomplished inter¬preter of poetry and folk songs. In1914 he was an editorial writer forthe Chicago Daily News, and servedas a newspaper corre.spondent toStockholm, Sweden in 1918.Page Two THE DAILY MAROON, TUESDAY.

It gave achance of education and a hope of happiness toa few of those who otherwise seemed to havelost the things that made life good. In thisundertaking, University students did theirpart; not as big a part, perhaps, as students atsome other colleges; but enough to show theirliberality. We had our opportunity to do alittle more than merely speak sympatheticallyof “distressing conditions in Europe.”This year, how’ever, refugee scholarshipsare more than a matter of liberality. Even ifconditions in Europe had not become more“distressing,” we would still have a greaterduty to the refugees. For they have been hereseveral months now, and we have gotten toknow them. The objection made last year thathowever much we sympathized with Europeanstudents we still had our own unfortunates totake care of first is no longer so valid. Therefugees who have been our classmates thisyear are “our own unfortunates.” We cannotdismi.ss our responsibility to them.And this responsibility is heightened tre¬mendously by the war. No one who even scansthe headlines of the daily papers or who is ex¬posed to news reports given over the radioevery few minutes can pretend to be ignorantof what we would be sending the refugee.scholars back to if we let our duty slip.Amid the multitude of worthy cau.ses press¬ing on student pocketbooks it may be hard todecide which one ought to get our little sparecash. We should remember that the supportof refugee scholars is up to us. Nobody else isgoing to take care of it if we don’t. This is ouraffair; and if we neglect it we are not merelybeing illiberal, or saving our money to be lib¬eral somewhere else—but we are being shame¬fully irresponsible. And this kind of irresponsi¬bility is playing heartlessly with human liveswe have already affected. We cannot believeUniversity students would be cruel or carelessenough to do this.This is no matter of intangibles or remotegeneralities. The generalities and fine idealsare here, of course; to be realized in a safe andeasy fashion by simply contributing somemoney or room scholarships to the Refugee Aidfund. But the situation is much more shock¬ingly immediate; the refugee scholars are here.If we don’t get enough money, God knows whatwill happen to them. By GEORGE T.

To the people who didn’t likeit even Saturday night, we advise closing night, for ataste of the lascivious.John Keller was practically the only Psi V who wasneither formal nor at opening night.

Theywere shaking up at bat just becau.sewe were a Big Ten team.’’ Saturdaythe same Chicago team that scaredDepauw were themselves scared byWisconsin losing, lli to 1 and 8 to 0.Having won six straight games,the Maroons stepped on the diamondSaturday for a double-header, sup¬posedly secure in the knowledge thatthey were one of the most promisingbaseball teams in several years. Oncethey began playing ball, however,they resembled the late-lamentedJohnny Paycheck in hi.s fiasco withJoe Louis.Wisconsin Pitchers111 all fairness to Chicago it shouldbe stated that the two Wisconsinpitchers, Cy Buker and Bill Saxer,turned in fine performances, limitedthe .Maroons to six hits in the twogames. Saxer especially pitched agrand game, allowing but one hit andthree walks while striking out nine.Buker gave up five hits and five walksand struck out four.Johnny Becks was very disappoint¬ing in the first game. With men onbases he eased up and was throwingthe ball with very litle stuff on it. Hewas behind practically every batterami showed his nervousness all theway ♦hrough. Kenny (Jarverick re¬lieved him with two out in the ninthand retired the last man. Beeks wascudgeleil for 15 hits and IJ runs,while Chicago could only score onceagainst Buker.Lopatka Erratic.Art Lopaka faced Saxer in the sec¬ond game and showed that he still re¬tained his erratic tendencies of lastyear. He went the distance as theBadgers collected seven hits and made them account for eight runs.The whole Chicago team, veteransand new men alike, was an entirelydifferent organization than the oneI which won six straight games. Theydidn’t play smart baseball, offensive¬ly or defensively. They ran the bases! much too cautiously, threw to thej wrong ba.ses, and, in general wereI cowed by Wisconsin.I Sparky Calogeratos got three hits,I including the only one off Saxer,[Jack Hurny got two, and Frank Mc¬Cracken the remaining one.Recognize NewBridge ClubThe University Bridge Club hasbeen recognized by the University, itwas announced yesterday by BobStewart, club president.

TodayThe University of Chicago base¬ball team meets Notre Dame thisafternoon on Greenw’ood field at .3:3().Previously scheduled for South Bend,with the return game next week to beplayed on the Midway, the order ofthe series was reversed.Art Lopatka, veteran Maroon left¬hander, probably will pitch for theMaroon nine, with sophomore JohnBeeks, and Frank McCracken, con¬verted third baseman, on tap for re¬serve duty. Coach Kyle Anderson,impressed with the .iSOO batting of Co-Captain Bill Calogeratos against theBadgers, will make no shift at theposition, but other infielders may bedue for a shakeup, he indicated afterthe Wisconsin contests.Bob More, a hard-hitting sophomoremay begin regular service at thirdbase, and Dennis Cowan may returnto replace John Hurney at shortstop,although Hurney is pi-obably a betterjierformer at the plate. ating.

Reed, Dii’ector of Health Serv¬ice, to discuss the value and probablepurpose of such an organization. Thefour attending members of the Board,which consists of John Van de Water,Hugh Davidson, Eleanor Anne Hart-zler, Mary Harvey and Ester Kirch-hoeflfer, postponed organizational plansuntil the entire Board would gatherThursday, May 9, at which time achairman will be elected and sugges¬tions received by the Board will bediscussed.The purpo.se of the Board was feltto be that of informing students ofthe clinical, hospital, and laboratoryservices offered by Health Service,and of directing .student suggestionsto the administrators of the Service.Such an advisory committee provedsuccessful several years ago in con¬junction with the University Em¬ployee Service.Criticisms of the present service in¬clude long waiting before seeing adoctor. The records kept by the of¬fice show that the average wait fora general physician is twenty minutesand considerably less than this at anytime except during the morning rushhours. Incidentally, the quietest timeat Health Service is from .3:30 to4:30 in the afternoon, but the twomost popular doctors, the dermatolo¬gist and the nose and throat special¬ist hold office hours only in the morn¬ing. It is impracticable to make ap¬pointments, for. Dr. Reed observedstudents frequently break appoint-ment.5 and many illnesses arise unex¬pectedly and should be given im¬mediate attention. Nevertheless, thepsychiatrist and sometimes the noseand throat specialist make appoint¬ments.Health Service compares favorablywith other university plans. Generalplans charge about $24 a year for a.somewhat greater service; grouphospitalization plans have approxi¬mately the same charges as our serv¬ice. Young doctors who have justfinished their interneships are some¬times hired by some of these groups,but Chicago employs only experienceddoctors. A unique advantage of theService is that hospitalized studentsmay have consultations with the bestmen on the staff in the clinics.“Furthermore”, states Dr. Reed, “few-other universities have fine largehospitals offering .such splendid serv¬ice as those at the University ofChicago.”Paul H.

And so I do. But the recentrecording of Toscanini and the N.B.C.Symphony Orchestra (Victor AlbumM-640) leaves much, much to be de¬sired. The work opens with Fate rap¬ping smartly on the door and dasheshurriedly to a swift close, as thoughthe orchestra were anxious to havedone with it. It is to be regretted that the Maestro’s well-known aversion to |over-sentimentality and his love forclearness of individual orchestralparts have gone to the extreme of re¬ducing the symphony to an accelerat- ied exercise in mathematical precise-1ness.
