The Dean t)f Students has thepower to veto such motions."In StandinK”“It is the belief of the University.”'aid Dean Kandail yesterday, “thatSi^ma Alpha Epsilon meets all therequirements of membership in theCouncil. It is a fraternity in i'v)od'tanditiK, and recognized by the I id-versity. Its dormitory residence mustIk- considered as the equivalent of achapter house. The Council itself hasadmitted this by wishing to requireSAE to observe rushing rules. SinceS.AE is a former member of the Coun¬cil, by again meeting the regulationsof the University and the require¬ments of the Council, it automaticallybecomes a member. The Council in itspresent constitution has no power toexpell members, nor to exclude fra¬ternities who meet the requriements.”The final fate of SAE cannot bedetermined until the Council submitsits motions. Hut the University, fromall indications, has determined its pol¬icy toward dormitory fraternities andwould not approve any move to keepthem out of the Council. University’s Best UpstagersTake Over In ‘‘Goodhye Again”Earl DickersonSpeaksOnNegroProblems TodayContinuing the lectures on Negroproblems sponsored by Science andSociety, YWCA, Negro Student Club,and Chapel Union, will bt* Earl Dick-»‘rson, alderman of the second ward,who will speak today on “The Prob¬lem and Prospects of the Negro Peo¬ple.”Dickerson is very interested in thehousing fight and clarification of civilliberties in the minds of laymen. Heis head of the Housing Committee ofthe City Council, and proposes a pro¬gram for housing betterment like thatalready adopted in New York—put¬ting private capital into local housingprojects.Other offices which he holds at pres¬ent are: general council for SupremeLilH*rty Life Insurance, executive di¬rector of the National Lawyers Guild,President of the Urban League, Pres¬ident of Cook County Bar Association,and executive director of the Chicago(Mvil Liberties Committee, The lec¬ture is to be at 3:30 in the YWCAroom of Ida Noves.Schnabel, AustrianPianist, to LectureArthur Schnabel, celebrated Aus¬trian pianist, will give a series of threepublic leectures on “Some Aspects ofMusic” at Mandel Hall on April 29,30, and May 1 at 8:30.

Upstaging,for those whose minds are a completeblank at this moment, is ])lacing your¬self on the stage so that everyone cdseon the stage must turn his back to theaudience in Older to talk to you. Netresult: your’s is the only face visibleand you can easily steal the scene.“Gooilbye Again,” the DA’s SpringRevival, which hits Mandel Hall be¬tween the pillars Friday and Saturdaynights, is a hotbed of upstaging by theUniversity’s best upstagers, namelyGrant Atkinson, Hattie Paine, Betty.Ann Evans, Demmie Polacheck, DickHimmel, Marian Castleman, RuthAhhjuist, and Ruth Wehlan. This youcan easily see is almost the entirecast..Atkinson Real MasterHowever, with all due respect tothe rest of the cast, Atkinson is thereal master. First of all the showwas originally written for OsgoodPerkins, and the action is laid out sothat Perkins could be the center of ev¬ery scene. Atkinson, who plays thePerkins’ role by divine inspiration,perhaps, realizes this and milks theopportunities dry, or at least he did until Sumlay when the cast, warnedby director Randall, started to turnthe tables and are now upstaging the(('ontinued on page three)Reivard for HintAs to KidnnppersOf Mr. BonesHy DAN WINOGRADBy a Blitzkreig stroke “M*. Bones”was snatched from the no man’s landbetween the Phi Kap housf’ and Uni¬versity avenue late Friday night. “Mr.Bones” is the well-known skeleton whohas been announcing Phi Kap’s per¬formance of “Bury the Dead.”How his abductors were able to per¬form the feat, or who they can pos¬sibly be, is absolutely unknown. Amember of the I-F council .said hedoesn’t believe it was a fraternity job,because every hou.se has plenty ofskeletons of its own in the back clos¬et. However, campus historians aren’tso sure that this theory is sound.Although dead men usually tell notales, in “Bury the Dead” they tellall. Phi Kaps have promised that“Mr. Bones” will positively tell notales of his abductors. If “Bones” isreturned by midnight Tuesday, a re¬ward will be arranged through theMaroon office with no questions asked.“Bury the Dead” will be shown atInternational House May 3, and 4. |Tickets will be on sale in Mandel cor¬ridor this week. Phi Kap pleads withthe kidnappers to return Mr. Bones,or buy enough tickets to make up the$50 he will cost the house. Phil LaFolletteSpeaks AtLaw Dinner“Phil” LaP'ollette, former governorof Wisconsin and brother of Senator“Bob” LaFollette, w'ill be the prin¬cipal speaker at the annual LawSchool dinner May 6 at 6:30. Toast¬master «)f the dinner will be TuckerDean, a stuclent in the Law Schoolwho has been working for the govern¬ment in Washington this year.As usual one of the features of theevening will be the annual LawSchool play. Since the dinner is to beheld at International House, Mr. La¬Follette will speak amidst familiarsurroundings, for he spoke there lastfall at an International House Sun¬day supper. As son of Wisconsin’sfamous senator “fighting Bob” La¬Follette was prominent even beforehe became governor of his home state.In lecent years he has achieved na¬tion-wide notice because he, with hisbrother, formed the Progressive par¬ty as a means of furthering theirpolitical theories.Though his political career over¬shadows his legal activities, Mr. La¬Follette has long practiced law inMadison, Wisconsin, and has in addi¬tion been a lecturer on law in theUniversity of Wisconsin Law SchoolWith his brother, he has been men¬tioned as a possible candidate forpresident in the coming national elec¬tion.This year’s dinner is dedicated toDean Harry A. Bigelow who untillast year was dean of the UniversityLaw School. Though the dean willcontinue to teach, the Bar Associa¬tion decided to take this means ofhonoring him for his long years ofservice as dean. Reservations for thedinner may be made at the LawSchool office.Salziiiaii Names Ten(^oniiiiittee Membersi Graduate, Senior, and Junior mem¬bers of the Freshman OrientationCommittee for next fall were an¬nounced yesterday by Dick Salzman,newly-appointed Chairman.Martin Levit and Richard Worth¬ington will handle the Graduate rep¬resentation while Bill Westenberg,Milton Weiss, and Joe Molkup willrepre.sent the Seniors on the Com¬mittee.Bill Blackwell, Marshall Blumen-thal, Kenneth Geppinger, Kenneth Mc-Lellan, and Francis Lynch, Juniormembers, will complete the list.New members will meet to discussplans tomorrow at 3:30.

(whichsome people will no doubt term “sour-grapes” and others “red-baiting”) isderived from the “double-cross” whichthe Communists staged at the PeaceStrike.

However,it was decided to write to a list ofspeakers—a list which did not includethe name of O’Sheel.

Rubins, John Stevens,Hart Wurzburg. Marian Castleman, Ernest LeiserNight Editor: Ernest LeiserNo PeaceAlthough Mandel Hall was full, althoughthe parade was well-ordered, the Peace Strikefailed Friday in one most important respect. Itneglected to define any decisive and practicalprogram for peace other than emotional re¬sistance to war.Unfortunately such a program is not onlyinadequate to maintain peace; it is e.xcellentpreparation for war. Emotions do not worryabout contradictions. The man w'ho is emotion¬ally sw'ayed by a peace parade one day, is fairgame for a military parade the ne.xt. The fateof peace organizations in the last war is abund¬ant proof of this fact. Or to paraphrase Profes¬sor Schilp, one of the Mandel Hall speakers,many of his faculty friends who were ardentpacifists tw’o or three years ago, are now justas ardently pro-British. Undoubtedly there issomething basicly wrong with a peace programthat can become a war program in so short atime.But neither Professor Schilp nor the otherspeakers, Rev. Gib.son and Shaemus O’Sheel,chose to investigate this deficiency. Instead,in beautiful accord, they exposed pro-Britishpropaganda and stirringly reiterated “TheYanks are not coming” creed with few varia¬tions. Implicitly they advocated isolationism,completely ignoring the fact that other peacepolicies have a validity of their own at leastw’orthy of discussion. Those gathered in MandelHall were told that one million students refus¬ing to fight would be sufficient to prevent theUnited States from declaring war on anyone,but not once was a realistic argument advancedtelling these students when and why theyshould not fight.That large sections of the population would,perhaps, prefer w’ar to severe economic depres¬sion was forgotten. The fact that many stu¬dents already regard United States participa¬tion in the war as inevitable w’as completelyswallowed in the impassioned haze of thespeeches. Throughout the Mandel Hall programthe w'ill for peace w’as made the equiv’alent ofachieving peace.This equation does not and never has exist¬ed. To prove that Britain is not w’orth fightingfor is not to prove that w’e wdll have peace. Todeny the political interpendence of Britain andthe United States is not to deny their economicinterdependence. That three speakers, each al¬most fanatic in the cause of peace, should com¬pletely ingore the economic implications of con¬tinued neutrality is almost inconceivable.Somewhere betw’een “ready to fight not atthe drop of the hat, but before the hat drops”and complete isolationism is a peace policy thattakes a realistic view' of American public opin¬ion and economic needs. Despite ShaemusO’Sheel, many Americans are pro-British. Inthe peace poll taken during Autumn quarter141 out of 504 University students “w'ould bew'illing to fight if it became apparent thatFrance and England were in danger of defeat.”And that w’as five months ago.Again even if we discount the threat of Naziinvasion of America, w’e cannot discount theeconomic reverberations resulting when, ifever, England and France are no longer ableto continue the “cash and carry” policy of ourpresent neutrality bill. Already new'spapercartoons carry stories of the farmer’s sufferingunder the present bill. If this suffering becomesacute will w’e be able to prevent the extensionof credit to the Allies? And if w'e extend creditwill we be able to prev'ent ourselv'es from goingover there to protect our interests?

When asked what he !leant by the statement Hutchins de-iied reason to mean a primary pow-. allowinp; man to know speculativeuths; and in the practical order, to‘loose good or bad. It is a powerhich experimental psychology cannothing about.No doubt there are many questions't unanswered. Anyone interested,■'"uld send these questions into the‘aroon and an attempt will be madehave them answered by an au-K'l'itative source. Page ThreeGale RevealsGround SchoolExam ResultsNow that results of the governmentground school examination in the Civ¬il Aeronautics .Authority flying courseare available. Physical Science’s DeanHenry Z. dale has had an opportunityto evaluate the various advantagesand disadvantages of the course aspresented on the Midway.Of the original quota of .‘50 candi¬dates who were selected to begin theflight training, 2X completed the re¬quired work for the exam. Three ofthese ■were unsuccessful in passing thetest, but they will have another crackat it in a month or so. “Those whodid pass,” according to Dean Gale’soffice, “did exceptionally well.”Class In Three GroupsThe class is divided into threegroups of ten, under the direction ofW. T. Brownell, who is assisted byKurt Kunau, .Jack Woolams, and Wil¬lard Estes. Brownell and Kunau eachhave charge of one of the groups,while the third division has been un¬der the joint tutelage of Woolamsand Estes.F’or some time the third group hadno instiuctor at all, but Woolamsmanagi'd to qualify as an instructorby the end of the Winter Quarter.Even then, however, all was not clearsailing, for thi* weather in March andearly .April was exceedingly poor forflying. Therefore it was felt that inorder to enable this third group tocatch up with the others, it would benecessary to have another instructor;so Estes was inclutled in the staff.Transportation Problem Solved.Another serious problem for thewould-be flyers was that of transpor¬tation. The Kubinkam .Airport, wherethe practical part of the course is be¬ing given, is not served by any satis¬factory public transportation facili¬ties. On that account, an automobilehas been acquired which goes backand foith from the Ilinois CentralStation nearest the airport ten timesa day.Now that the instructor and trans¬port problems have been cleared up,it is expeett'd that several of the stu¬dents will be able to complete thecourse within two or three weeks, forthe most advanced of them now hadsome 2.5 hours in the air.In view of the fact that the coursehas come to !)»■ accepted as a ])art ofthe regular curriculum on the Quad¬rangles, the Department of PhysicalSciences, which has sponsored the en¬terprise from its beginning, is start¬ing to think about the jiossibilities ofotfi'ring the course again next year.Letters—(Continued from page one)not been consulted on this move, wasin the position of either accepting thissjieaker or of not having an alterna¬tive speaker to Mr. Gibson. By thistime, it was too late to call a generalmeeting, and the Communists hadbeen able to inci'ease their represen¬tation in the executive committee be¬cause of the withdrawal of the Trots-kyites. The A'outh Committee AgainstWar and the Socialist Club, however,took a determined stand and resolvedto break the strike rather than sub¬mit to having O’Sheel speak. Bymeans of constant threats to with¬draw, these organizations forced acomju'omise by which O’Sheel wouldspeak if a third speaker were intro¬duced and providing that O’Sheel didnot give a Communist interpretationto the program. The Communists didnot stick to the bargain, however, andO’Sheel did, as all who were at thestrike know, give a Communist inter¬pretation. If it fell a little flat, it isnot becau.se there was no “doublecross,” but because the man himselfwas a dull speaker.In addition to exposing these meth¬ods, the Youth Committee wishes tostate that the Communist Peace or¬ganizations are not true peace organi¬zations but organizations to keep theUnited States from going to waragainst the Soviet Union or its al¬lies. If a war threatened with Japan,which is an enemy of the SovietUnion, t h e Communist pro-peacegroups would become equally mili¬tant pro-war groups.The A'outh Committee also wishesto add that it participated in thestrike committee only on the basis thatit was a jiurely temporary organiza¬tion. .Any attempt to reorganize thePeace Council or to organize a newpeace council on the lines of the strikecommittee will be loudly denouncedby the Y.C..A.W. as Communist in-sjiired.Executive CommitteeYouth Committee .Against War Fifth RowCenterBy JOHN STEVENSThere are only three possible rea¬sons for going to see Romeo andJuliet as produced by Lawrence Oliv¬ier at the Auditorium. The first, andby far the best, is a desire to satisfyan over-grown appetite for pork; the.«econd is a desire to see what a pairof romantic Hollywood stars reallylook like; and the third is a desire tosee Shakespeare produced at any cost.The first reason is really verjT fine.The symbolism is all carefully devel¬oped. For example, Olivier will paradeonto the stage between Dame MayWhitty and Vivien Leigh. The intelli¬gent audience immediately realizesthat the two ladies represent loavesof rye. The director has successfullyshown that Lawrence Olivier is agreat movie actor, but that on thestage he is most at home in a sand¬wich.From F'ifth Row CenterThe second reason is net quite sogood unless you sit in seats costinga fortune. From the fifth row centerof the balcony of the barn-like Audi¬torium, it was extremely difficult todistinguish the two leading ladiesfrom each other. The only times onecould be sure that Miss Leigh was onthe dimly-lit stage, which was at leasta block and a half from the sparselyjiopulated balcony, were in the bal¬cony scene, and later in the bedroomscene. In the former she spends mostof the time leaning over the balconyrail so that her posterior portionswere much in evidence. This sort ofposture was repeated to disadvantagein the final death scene. In the bed¬room scene the patrons who went forpassion really got their money’sworth. In the midst of an especiallyluscious embrace an usher had to re¬quest the peanut gallery “to dispensewith the long, low whistles.”.At .Any CostThe third reason, that of seeingShakespeare at any cost, is againvalid only if one sits on the main-floor. The balcony is definitely out ofear-shot except in the more pork-likeparts of the production. Moreover,“seeing Shakespeare at any cost”must be interpreted literally becausethe cost is extremely high.Most important weaknes.ses werethe direction and the casting, for thelines were really quite good. The di¬rector seemed to have the idea thatthe play was a combination Gothicnovel and 19th Century melodrama.Each of the several deaths was pro¬longed almost indefinitely by childishsobs, agonizing groans, and gesticula¬tions that could only be proper to theone-armed paper-hanger with hives.Romeo and MercutioThe melancholy boy, Romeo, spentmost of the first act emitting manlyravings about his Rosaline, and theman-of-the world Mercutio looked alittle too much like a cocky adolescentand Tybalt looked like another Mer¬cutio.

The first 'game, which was played here, ended I12 to 9, and the second, played inEvanston Saturday, finished 9 to 3.In Friday’s game the Maroons gototf to a good start with a seven-run jsplurge in the second inning. Three jhits, three Northwestern errors, a jwalk, and a hit batsmen accounted |for these. From then until the eighth!inning, however, relief pitcher DickGoldak did not allow a Chicago manto reach base.Johnny Beeks was wobbly in thefirst three innings but pulled out each ■time without a run being scored. In !the fourth the Wildcats jumped onhim for three runs. They got two more jin the fifth, Beeks finally beingyanked for allowing a runnel' to steal jhome while he was holding the ball.Kenny Garverick came to the rescueand wasn’t much better, allowing tworuns in the sixth. After filling thebases in the seventh he sent two runsacross with two quick wild pitches.Frank McCracken became the third |hurler of the afternoon and gave up !two more runs in the seventh and one jin the eighth. |Chicago again broke loose in the jeighth with the score 12 to 7 againstthem. Three hits and an error gavethem two more runs and finished thescoring for the afternoon.The Maroons weren't a great help |to their beleaguered pitchers. Their jcontribution to the festivities was iseven errors, five of which were cost-ly-Coach Anderson juggled his line-upand threw ace Art Lopatka at North¬western Saturday in an attempt toeven up the series and also to winChicago’s first Big Ten victory. Butagain shaky defense thwarted theseplans. Lopatka pitched good ball andallowed only two eaimed runs, but thescore was 9 to 3. The team made only-six errors during this game.The revised batting order produceda nine-hit attack while Northwesternonly garnered eight, but the Maroonscouldn’t make their hits good forruns, and the Wildcats didn’t have to.Hutch SoothesBig Ten HeadsTo all intents, the University ofChicago remains a member in goodstanding of the Western conference.The issue over the alleged slander ofthe conference by various Maroonagents, was brought to a head at aconference of Big Ten heads heldSunday' at the Sherman Hotel. Theconference leaders tacitly acceptedthe explanation offered by Mr. Met¬calf in answer to the questions whicharose at the conference meeting ofMarch 8-9.With the settlement of the issuecame the official recognition of theUniversity as a contestant in Big Tenbasketball for 1941. concluded withCoach Norgren. So assured were theChicago representatives of a settle¬ment favorable to Chicago that a re¬lease of the basketball schedule for1941 was drawn up before the meet¬ing. Sunday.In his letter to the Big Ten direc¬tors, Mr. Metcalf explained in full theposition of Chicago officials in regardto the publication of the pamphlet bythe Alumni Foundation, and the de¬rogatory statements m a d e by aspokesman for the board of trustees,supposedly President Hutchins. Mr.Metcalf confirmed Hutchins’ state¬ment that he had never publicly norprivately said anything that might beconstrued so as to be derogatory ofBig Ten practices or ethics.Track Team LosesA quick change in program, plac¬ing the javelin throw ahead of thediscu.s, conspired with bad weathercoralitions and a poor track, to aidWestern in defeating Chicago’s trackteam HG to 65 last Satui'day.Rendleman, perennial shot-put anddiscus winner, for the first time hadto throw the javelin before the discusresulting in an injury to his arm. .4sa lesult he placed in neither event.
