Dean SmithRcalizinff that transfer studentsface nearly as many problems asFreshmen when they enter the Uni¬versity, this year’s Transfer Orienta¬tion Committee has planned a pro-)rram for them which will give a com¬plete picture of campus life. TransferOrientation Week begins Saturday.Each day for the remainder of theweek one or more events have beenplanned to aid transfer students.“We feel,” says Wilson Reilly, co-chairman of the committee, "that theproblems of transfer students areequally important and worthy of asmuch consideration as those of theFreshmen. The committee kept thisview in mind while making out itsprogram, and this year, we feel, willsee greater success than ever in ori¬enting the transfer students.”Sight-seeing TourThe program the committee hasplanned includes a sight-seeing tour,two informal lunches, and a “mixer”dance. Supplementing these generalaffairs, both Ida Noyes and the Rey¬nolds Club will hold open houses andthe Dramatic Association will hold ameeting for transfers interested indramatics. Spot-lighted event of theweek will be the Buffet Supper Satur¬day evening at which Dean Leon P.Smith will speak. A beach party andsupper sponsored by Chapel Unionwill end the orientation period,This year’s Transfer OrientationCommittee is headed by Sue Landisand Wilson Reilly. Arrangements forregistration of transfers were madeby Nan Dickson, Kay Dryburg, andDon Wallett. The "mixer” danceTuesday evening was planned by Cyn¬thia Dursema and Harry Bigelow whohave made certain it will be a success.The dance, scheduled for Tuesday eve¬ning, will be closed to all but transferstudents and their counsellors. Thesuppers and luncheons which thetransfers will attend during the weekwere planned by Emmy Lou Eaton. speaks to transfers.President's WifeBruises KneesMrs. Hutchins’ failure to attend thePresident’s reception Monday nightwas accidental and unavoidable, theMaroon learned yesterday.I Shoitly before the Hutchins werei to return to Chicago for the evening; from the country where they had beenvacationing, .Mrs. Hutchins fell off abicycle she w'as riding, uml badlybruiser her knees.She was taken immediately to aI hospital, where the President left herI to make his dash to the reception,i Hutchins came in only for the eve¬ning, then returned to the country forthe rest of this week.

Saturday evening, the Universitycloses its series of radio broadcasts.The Human Adventure, which, in co¬operation with Columbia Broadcast¬ing System, has traced trends and de¬velopments in educational and re¬search work in universities in un¬usual programs for a year.Featured in the broadcast tomor¬row evening at 7:30 will be the his¬tory of the University itself, narratedby one of the first figures in the the¬atre, Raymond Massey. His voice willbe the “Voice of the University ofChicago.”I High Points of HistoryImportant episodes in the broad¬cast detail its founding by John D.Rockefeller, the acquisition of leadingeducators for its faculty—includingeight college presidents, and its the¬ories of academic freedom of teachingand research.The program will also relate someof the trials of the first president,William Rainey Harper. How his newtheories of education made this Uni-I versity the first one west of the Alle¬ghenies to place emphasis on researchwork; how Harper cleverly outwittedeastern colleges to secure a faculty ofgreat names.Massey’s role will be written in freeand blank verse. His latest appear¬ance in Chicago was in the title rolein “Abe Lincoln in Illinois” and laterrepeated the pulitzer prize winner inthe movies.

This initiates aproject in the Library which mayhave important consequences, not onlyto the Library of Congress, but touniversities and colleges throughoutthe country.The project, one of several whichhave been made possible by a generaldevelopment grant from the CarnegieCorporation, calls for the establish¬ment of annual fellowships to be filledby young scholars from the facultiesof universities and colleges who willspend a year in the Library of Con¬gress on leave from their institutions.While in the Library, they willstudy the collections of the Library intheir particular fields and will aid inthe handling of difficult referenceproblems involving their special train¬ing and experience.

Nelson Metcalf. ' MPr, . . It makes sense.Perrv-Merriam•/Head New LiberalOrganizationTo climax a moment begun lastyear when a group of disgusted lib¬erals walked out on ASU, some 25students, headed in the city of Chi¬cago by Bob Merriam and Hart Perry,have formed the newest political or¬ganization to be 1‘ecognized by theDean’s office.Called Youth for Democracy andaffiliated with the national organiza¬tion of the same name, the club is de¬signed for campus liberals interestedin re-electing President Roosevelt,with long-range plans for the main¬tenance of liberal standards andideals in the future.Distribute Roosevelt ButtonsFirst activity of the group will takeplace Saturday noon, when SallyAdams, Chloe Roth, Betty Rosenheim,Marge Goodman, Jane Moran, ChrisFryer, Genevieve Hackett, GeorgiaDisch, Ruth Klopsteg, Beati Gaidzik,Marian Castleman, and Betty Muller,aided and abetted by 15 Northwesternbeauties will distribute Roosevelt but¬tons in the Loop. Following that. Per¬ry’s men will tackle the problem ofa debate concerning the Roosevelt-Willkie question with young campusRepublicans, now being organized byj Bill Westenberg.Organization will consist of an ex¬ecutive committee of 11 interested stu¬dents, regardless of age, who will meetin the lobby of the Social Sciencebuilding at 3:30 on Monday.Change Site ofMaroon TrainingSchoolTo accommodate the large numberof Freshmen who have signed up forthe Maroon training course for pros¬pective reporters, the first session ofthe school will be held in Rosenwald,Room two. The date and time of thefirst session, October 8th at 3:30, re¬mains unchanged, however.Mr. Mort, Director of the ReynoldsClub, will speak to the first class aboutthe history of the University. Twomotion picture films will aid him inexplaining to the Freshmen how theUniversity started and how it grew.The second session of the coursewill be devoted to the social side of theUniversity. Nels Fuqua, raconteurpar excellence and close student ofthe humorous side of life, will regalehis audience with some of his betteranecdotes about campus personalitiesand incidents of past and present.David Martin, Chairman of the Boardof Control of the Maroon last year,will cover campus activities at thesame session. Football Ban FacilitatesMove; University’s LossNot Great.University students will be admit¬ted free to all Chickgo sponsored inter¬collegiate games on the Midway, T.Nelson Metcalf, athletic director, an¬nounced yesterday.There were only 1200 athletic C-books sold at the $5.00 charged lastyear, said Metcalf, and a desire to in¬duce all students at the University totake interest in athletics, eitfier asspectators or participants, togetherwith the fact that the atiolition offootball would mean a decrea'se in thenumber of C-books sold, caused theathletic department to eliminate thefee for students.Unique MoveThe move made Chicago the onlymajor University with the exceptionof John Hopkins which makes nocharge of any kind for admission toall its athletic events.Metcalf said that it was possiblethat some nominal fee might becharged, for identification cards forstudents but that if administrativecosts were low enough, even that feewould be eliminated.He added that the move was almostthe only one which under the condi¬tions would “make sense.” Since theC-Books were a source of such littlerevenue, anyway, and since they lim¬ited the attendance at University con¬tests needlessly, such a move was im¬portant to sustain interest in athleticsat the University.Football Abolition Helps"Before footb,' 11 was abolished,”Metcalf commented, “it would havebeen much more difficult to eliminatefees, since we had to pay the Con¬ference 50 cents for every student ad¬mission at football games, and onlyhalf of this was returned to us.” But,in basketball, no such arrangementexisted, he said, and consequently theUniversity’s loss would be much less.Beginning with the opening of theMaroon basketball season December5, students will be admitted to allhome games and meets upon showingtheir identification cards.Before that, the intramural pro¬gram and the cross country meetswill be free, as usual, and no card willbe necessary for admission.Probst DirectsStudent ForumActivitiesThe Student Forum is not an ordin¬ary debating club, nor is the Forum’sradio program an ordinary radio quizsession, according to George Probst,who has been appointed to replaceA1 Pitcher as its new director andcoach.In the first place, the Student For¬um will talk about anything andeverything in which the speakers andor audience are interested. Secondly,the Forum radio program, presentedon WBBM at 3:00 p. m. every Sat¬urday, differs from ordinary quiz pro¬grams in that, rather than being,a n ordinary question-and-answergame, the speakers are asked contro¬versial questions concerning currentevents and are permitted to discussthem as long as their interest lasts.And, in the third place, the meetingsin Lexington 5 every Tuesday at 3:30are less often debates than coachingsessions and roundtable or panel dis¬cussions.Next ProgramThe Forum’s next program will bebroadcast over the Columbia networkand WBBM tomorrow, when Joe Mol-kup, Dennis McEvoy, Webb Fiser, ,Ben Draper, and Bill Clark will meetwith interlocutor Richard Seammonof the radio office to answer and dis¬cuss any questions the latter mayask.(Continued on page three)Page Two THE DAILY MAROON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 19407^ VaJHij Ifk/iDonFOUNDED IN 1901MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED COLLEGIATEPRESSThe Daily Maroon is the official studen^ newspaper of the Uni¬versity of Chicago, published mornings, except Saturday, Sunday,and Monday during the Autumn, Winter, and Spring quarters byThe Daily Maroon Company, 6831 University avenue.

By now you must bethoroughly confused.Perhaps we can clarify your confusion bytelling you what the University is not like.First, the University is not a place in whichthere are pajama parties, bull sessions, C-dances, DA plays, barn dances, and trips toHanley’s every day.Secondly, it is not a place where you willreceive constant attention from upperclassmenand faculty members. The week during whichyou have never had fewer than ten people offer¬ing you aid and solace, sympathy and advice isat an end. From now on, oriented or no, youwill be dependent on your own resources.Thirdly, it should not be a place where youdevote the greater part of your time, attention,and energies during the important first weeksof the quarter in being rushed by fraternitiesor clubs. IYour week of play is over. Your weeks ofwork have begun.This does not mean that it would be unwiseto begin participating in the extra-curricularlife of the University at once. It only meansthat since you have come here to study, youshould devote your more intensive efforts tostudy. It means that you should bear in mindthat moving fraternity and club rushing up tothe middle of the fall quarter was intendedprimarily to benefit upperclassmen, not fresh¬men. It means that if you are to understandwhat is being taught you in the surveycourses, most of you must learn the materialof the first few weeks of those courses well.In our first editorial we promised you thatyour real orientation would not begin until yoursecond week. That second week is at hand.You appear to have learned well where Univer¬sity buildings are, what its traditions are, whoits bigname faculty members are. We hopeyou learn as well the real lessons that theUniversity teaches, its methods of study, itshabits of thinking, its truths.You have received much aid in getting yoursuperficial orientation. You will receive muchless aid in achieving a real orientation to theUniversity’s ideals. Probably many more ofyou will fail to learn the lessons of the weeks tocome than failed to have a good time Freshmanweek.We feel confident, however, that most ofyou will succeed in the difficult task ahead ofyou. You should be mature enough to pickthe chaff from the very rich wheat of Univer¬sity knowledge. We hope you are, and we wishyou the best of luck.E.S.L.Good SenseThe Maroon would like to congratulate theAthletic department for its decision to elimin¬ate student fees for Chicago’s home games.Such a move had been in order for sometime. With athletic income negligible, espe¬cially since football was abolished, letting stu¬dents in free was a wise gesture, which shouldincrease spectator Jnterest at sports evientsgreatly.We should like to thank Mr. Metcalf forthis action, express our hope that his proposalto include faculty, administration, and Univer¬sity employees in the free admission goes intoeffect soon, and say, with him, that this action,“makes sense.” The Traveling BazaarBy ERNEST LEISEROH MAPoor li’l innocent guy. Which, as you may havenoticed, is a helluvan inept way to describe this year’scrop of freshmen. Vital statistics aren’t in yet, but it’scertain that the number of freshwomen has increased.Likewise the number of fresh men.FRESHEST MANand champ chump of the yearlings is mighty JohnDryden. A cocky young lad who combines many pointsof last year’s Stud Ruml and Charles Darragh, he spentWednesday afternoon at the Maroon tea, slappingBMOC’s on the chest, and BWOC’s on the back, tellinghow good he was, and looking for Dekes. Then he wentto the DA tea, slapped BMOC’s on the back, andBWOC’s, and looked for Dekes. Finally he corneredDA vice president Dum-Dum Wilson, and lured him outto dirty rush him. In the evening he made verbal passesat nice Blanche Graver at the barn dance, asking hersuch impertinent questions as how old she was, and wasshe a freshman or sophomore. We hope the boys calm |him down—he has the makings of a good guy. |THIS IS JUST Afreshman week sidelight, but we chortled when weheard that on Monday night, millions of Mortar Boardsaccosted Chuck Percy, I-F head, on the street, escortedhim to the Botany Pond, and gently heaved him in.It was cold, too, and Percy is grumpy about the wholething.NAMESmake freshman read freshman issues, and since thisis the last issue in which a great many of them will jget their names in the Bcezer, we will go once over jlightly through the class telling of a few prizes we jhave observed.

Randall.Placed on probation by the Dean’soffice because it failed to clear up itsaccounts before last September 15,the position of the periodical remainsunchanged. At the moment. DeanRandall says Miss Elizabeth Finn ofDean Works Office is auditing the ac¬counts.Pulse Owes $500Pulse owes in the neighborhood of$500. However it has outstanding ac¬counts reaching the figure of about$650. According to Dean Randall themagazine may begin publishing assoon as those accounts have been col¬lected and the debtors paid.Emil Hirsch, editor last year, re¬vealed the fact that collection of theseaccounts has been turned over to alaw office. No legal action has beentaken to date. He and his advisershope for settlements out of court.The collection is being carried onby Hirsch and Irwin Biederman,former advertising manager, both ofwhom are liable personally for themagazine’s debts.Dean Outlines 3 PointsIn the probationary letter the threepoints set forth by Randall were:Pulse must settle its debts and clearall financial obligations. These debtsconcern mainly Pulse’s engraver andthe Publication sinking fund. Second¬ly a budget will be submitted for thefirst issue, proving that the magazinecan carry on in a healthy state. Third¬ly, a list of members working on Pulsewill be turned over for approval bythe Dean’s office. These qualificationsare retjuired of all undergraduate ac¬tivities.Pulse’s creditors, according t oHirsch, are willing to carry the publi¬cation along until it is able to pay itsdebts.

She is capturedby the pirate-hero and screams “I; hate thieves” at him two or threetimes until he returns her jewels,whereupon she falls madly in lovewith him. After this carefully delib¬erated decision the lovers exert them¬selves to spend about four minutestogether during the week before Er¬rol Flynn sails for Panama.His mission is to crush permanent¬ly the power of Spain by robbing agold train supplying at least 2 percentof the bullion needed to build an in¬vincible armada. By carefully study¬ing a very fine map which he pur¬chased in his home town, he is ableto effect a landing a few hundredyards off the trade route a few hoursbefore the gold train is scheduled topass.In the meantime the Spaniards,having been tipped off by their In¬dian fifth column (which was natural¬ly friendly to the men who were de¬spoiling the country) have arrangedan ambush. They fire several volliespoint blank at Errol Flynn and ac¬tually capture him unharmed.Flynn is ChainedWith the remnants of his gallantband, Errol Flynn is chained to anoar in a Spanish galley. Here heserves for several months, living ongruel and being lashed regularly, un¬til one day his partner at oar 13 dies.He is natui-ally replaced by a newcaptive wrho used to serve underFlynn. By a slight coincidence thenew slave has just received informa¬tion that the boat in which they are_chained is about to meet another boatto pick up some papers that will betaken to England. If Flynn can getthese papers, England can be saved,otherwise England is doomed.But Soon EscapesHaving this incentive (before hehadn’t cared much about escaping)he promptly trips the guard, whohappened to be whipping him at thetime, and steals his knife. The guardnever misses his knife, so when hefalls asleep Flynn easily whittles hisway through clanking chains, doesthe same for his fellows, and calmlytakes the ship when it reaches port.Not a bit tired by seven months oflashing, rowing, and gruel, the menlikewise overpower the ship next doorwhile Errol Flynn walks in on thecaptain who has the all-importantpapers. When they engage in personalcombat, Flynn wards off a daggerthrust with one hand, knocks the cap¬tain overboard with the other, andends up with the papers firmly jclasped in both. It was quite a diffi- Icult maneuver, but it saved England. |He promptly returns to merry Eng¬land and good queen Bess, with littlemore ado except for a brief meleewith the Spanish Trojan Horse whichhappened to meet him at Dover. Hethen makes ardent love to his faithfulparamour by telling her that hemissed her while rowing in the gal¬ley, and they live happily ever after.It is a great love story.The enemies of the Future are always the very nicest people.—Kitty Foyle.lev E. 63rd St.C Open 11:30 A.

Along the samevein the Washington and Jeffersonsheet defiantly takes President Hut¬chins allegation that football is amajor handicap to education andshouts back that the American systemof higher education needs more suchhamlicaps.The comment from M.I.T. is a hon¬ey: “the situation is so flagrantlynon-amateur in both spirit and prac¬tice that the only logical thing to dois to abandon amateur intercollegiatefootball and declare it frankly as theprofessional occupation it is.” ;And then for the <lepartment ofthings left unsaid w'e have the Michi- !gan Daily’s “It is just as well that jChicago saw fit to retire.” Can’t you |just imagine all the boys in Ann Ar- !bor smugly sitting back and savoring ;the coming season with Harmon, Eva- ;sh^vski and Co. primed to roll again.

Hutchinson. . . speaks on Democracy. • Students and organizations arehenceforth forbidden to paint side¬walks in publicity stunts, accordingto a new ruling issued by assistantDean of Students William Randall.Randall issued the ruling becauseof what he termed the “appearanceof unauthorized signs” in the past.Formerly student organizations hadbeen allowed to advertise meetingsand other campus functions by white¬washing walks around the Quadrang¬les, provided that they had permissionfrom the Dean’s office, and that theygot their paint from Buildings andGrounds, that flagstones were notpainted,' and that the signs would notbe unsightly.Prompt disciplinary action waspromised by Dean Randall againstorganization which infringed this rul¬ing, which he said was made priorto the Burton K. Wheeler mass meet¬ing this summer, for which sidew'alksigns still decorate campus walks.Counselors toContinue Watehon FreshmanJuchl Head ofNYA ProgramCharles Hubbard Judd, for 27 yearschairman of the department of Edu¬cation at the University and a leaderin American education, ha.s been ap¬pointed director of the NYA studentwork program, NY’A administratorAubrey Williams announced recently.During his two-year period as NYAstaff consultant, Judd directed theprogram of training for unemployedhigh-school and college graduates.Dr. Judd was born in India of•American parents in 1873 and reachedAmerica in 1879.

CLARK ST.THE D^ILY MAROON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1940University Proud Of Traditions;Hurt WhenFreshmen Violate Them Gilson PublishesAutobiographyStepping on Seal MayBring Botany Pond,S 'i On Tuesday eight freshmenstepped on the seal in MandelCorridor. Wednesday afternoonsix fresh women were discoveredsitting on the C-Bench. Foureager young lads were overheardin the dorms Thursday talkingabout the advantages and disad¬vantages of joining a “frat.”All these, and many more slipsduring the past week were in¬tolerable. They were flagrant vio¬lations of University tradition,excusable only on the groundsthat the freshmen were as yetunlettered in the University’sways of life.Small TraditionsStudents at the' University areproud of their traditions. Al¬though Chicago^ is notoriously aplace where educational tradi¬tions are overthrown, it has re¬stricted its violations of the con¬ventions to the more importantacademic changes. The small tra¬ditions are faithfully observed.The most important of thesetraditions is the one that saysthat no-one EVER steps on theUniversity seal on the floor un-y . derneath Mitchell Tower in Man-H del Hall.Almost as inviolable is the tra-“ ditions that reserves the C-Bench: for seniors, lettermen, and wom¬en who have been kissed by let¬termen. Contrary to popular be¬lief this does not include every¬one.Tug-of-WarMost boisterous of University tra¬ditions is the annual Freshman-Soph¬omore tug-of-war, annually held onhomecoming week. The freshmen al¬ways win unless the sophomores usesuch dishonest tactics as tying therope to a car or a post. Traditionallyboth victors and losers immediatelydash over to the Botany Pond, to dis¬turb the peace of the water lilies and^ the spyrogyrae.j:\nother tradition which gives theBotany Pond a workout is the annualsenior Mustache Race, sponsored byBlackfriars. The winner and all con¬testants get tossed into the Pond, butonly the winner alone gets his nameinscribed on a plaque in the Rey¬nolds Club barber shop.No “Co-eds” HereIt is traditional that there are no“co-eds” at Chicago, just “Universitywomen.” No fraternity is ever calleda “frat” unless it is by a proud butignorant father. Only the Pi*ess asso¬ciations dare call the “University ofChicago” “Chicago University.”One of the less publicized traditionsis that of kicking in the door panelsof Burton and Judson Courts. We arenot sanctioning the existence of thistradition; we merely point it out asone of the most active.Tradition has it that the best placeto make love to a woman is in a car inthe Circle at midnight, but the col¬umnists have been attempting bydevious means to popularize the Mid¬way as a pitching place.The Big AffairThe Interfraternity Ball is tradi¬tionally the BIG affair of the fallquarter, with the Three Way Partytraditionally the most exclusive. TheWashington Prom, the evening beforeWashington’s Birthday, is tops in thewinter quarter social season, with theMirror show traditionally providingthe classiest display of legs you seeduring your four years. Blackfriars,the student run all-male musical com¬edy, and one of the oldest of the ex¬tra-curricular ' institutions, provides C-Bench Mary B. Gilson’s autobiographical“What’s Past is Prologue” publishedby Harper Brothers, is appearing thisfall.The book traces the history of therecent past, as seen through Miss Gil¬son’s eyes, and develops the theme ofthe economic upheaval of the lastyears throughout.Miss Gilson is an instructor in eco¬nomics at the University, fiery sup¬porter of women’s rights, and a dis¬cussion leader in the Social Sciencesurvey. For the last year, she hasbeen on leave to fill a Guggenheimresearch fellowship.She is an eminent authority on thelabor history of Great Britain.It's O.K. for them.Federation HoldsCosy-Up LuncheonSomething new in the line of orien¬tation is the on-campus off-campusluncheon to be given jointly by themembers of Federation and Ida NoyesCouncil on October 14. Replacing thedinner given last year for only thosegirls who lived on campus the lunch¬eon aims to cozy-up all Universitywomen.Be they freshmen, sophomores,juniors, or seniors, live they on cam¬pus or off campus, Ida Noyes is pre¬paring to receive them with openarms. From noon to four o’clock everyfacility of the building will be at theirdisposal. Tickets go on sale October7.the highpoint in dramatic entertain¬ment in the spring quarter.Oldest and most famous of the Uni¬versity’s institutions is the Interfra¬ternity Sing, at which it never rains.Fair weather for the sing is morethan tradition. It is an act of God,showing that the heavenly powers areon the side of the University. Lastyear and the year before it rainedbefore and after the Sing, but theskies cleared while the 1600 fraternitymen sang for their audience of around10,000.Finally, a tradition of the Univer¬sity which we hope the freshmen willhave the good judgment to avoid, isto hurl epithets and insults at theDaily Maroon. This is a tradition forwhich we can find no rational basis.We can’t understand it.STUDENTS WELCOMEMAC'SAmerican Restaurant1521 E. 55th ST.REAL HOME COOKINGAn open letter to pipe smokersDEAR FRIENDS:May we thank the smokers who have patronized usat our old location and made it possible for us to feel sureof success at our new location on the campus.We hope to continue serving you with the best in pipesand pipe tobaccos at our new location under the name ofCAMPUS TOBACCONISTSFormerly M.

The coaches will be Kyle An¬derson, Nels Norgren, and Paul Derr..Awards for participation in the sportwill be made at the end of the season.The difference between the eleven-men football rules and the six-manrules are revealed as follows.FIELD: the field is smaller, and ateam must make 15 yards instead of10 yards in four downs. After alltouchbacks or safeties, the ball is putin play on the 15 yard line; the kick¬off will be from the 30 yard line, andthere are no restrictions as to theposition of the receiving team. Kicksgoing out of bounds will be put inplay on the 25 yard line.PLAYERS: there are six men on ateam; there will be unlimited substi¬tution during any time out; three menmust be on the line of scrimmage (of¬fensive) when the ball is snapped.Players may shift between the back-field and the line without restrictionon offense; all players are eligible forforward passes.GENERAL PLAY: a forward passstriking the ground or going out ofbounds before crossing the scrimmageline is considered a fumble; a forwardpass can be made from any place be¬hind the line of scrimmage; on playfrom scrimmage the ball may not becarried across scrimmage line until a “clear pass” has been made. A “clearpass” is one in which the ball travelsa clearly visible distance through theair from one player to another.SCORING: a field goal scores 4points, a try for point by drop orplace kick scores 2, while a try forpoint by any other method scores 1point.Netnien StageExhibitionTomorrmv at 2:3(fTennis in the fall, even If it is aboutthe finest kind of collegiate tennis inthe land, seems a bit incongruouswhen football dominates elsewhere.But tennis it will be Saturday after¬noon at 2:30 on the varsity courts.Staged principally for their benefit,the freshmen will see Captain CalSawyier, and cream of last year’syearlings, Wally Kemetick and BillSelf, serve against a trio of sopho¬mores. Wally Hebert makes no pre¬diction on the outdome, preferingto hide behind his coach’s privilege ofignoring difficult questions. He claimsthat both teams equal each otherabout as well as can be expected.Sawyier, who played number threeman last spring behind co-captainsCharles Shostrom and Art Jorgenson,will probably move up to the one manspot. Any upset in that departmentwill be cause for rejoicing rather thantears, for few were able to handle theshots of the lanky clay expert in theBig Ten competition last year.The matches will be staged on thevarsity courts in front of Eckharthall; in case of rain they will bemoved to the confines of the Field-house, further north on UniversityAvenue. Draft Money,Men, Says LeeConscription of the dollar is theonly method of equalizing the burdenof national defense, in the opinion ofSenator Josh Lee, who spoke on theUniversity of Chicago Round Tablebroadcast. Leo M. Cherne, executivesecretary of the Research Institute ofAmerica, and William H. Spencer,dean of the University of Chicago’sSchool of Business also participatedin the discussion.“We agree that men, money, andmaterials are essential to an efficientdefense program,” Senator Lee said.“We have drafted the man power ofthe nation and in an amendment tothe bill we have placed a penalty onany industry that refuses to fulfilldefense orders. We must also pro¬vide for the conscription of the dollarto equalize this burden of building anadequate defense for the nation.Bonds Mandatory“To raise the money to pay for de¬fense I suggest that we sell bonds ona mandatory basis in proportion toeach individual’s ability to buy.”Maintaining that regulation ofprofits and profit taxes are adequatefor the raising of funds, Cherne add¬ed: “We must finance the war as wego. We must not create large in¬debtedness for succeeding generationsto pay off.“So far as conscription of industryis concerned I do not believe it will beAttention, Freshmen!^J. B.

A conscription of industrywould be equivalent to a conscriptionof labor.”“Industry was slow to co-operate,”Senator Lee noted, “and it was notuntil Congress raised the ceiling onprofits that manufacturers began toproduce the necessary goods.”Cherne pointed out that in time ofwar one segment of the economy can¬not be controlled without regulatingall segments of the economy.“In a capitalist system,” he said. “it is assumed that a war cannot bewaged without regulating every phaseof production.”Sentor Lee remarked that even Lin¬coln was faced with the problem ofraising money.“Lincoln went to New York,” hesaid, “to raise money. He said, ‘I candraft men to fight and die for theircountry but I can’t get the money tofeed them!’ The same problem facesus today.
