Inpractically all details the elementsthat have composed Homecoming cel¬ebrations in the past will be includedwith the addition of a “super festivalwhich has yet to be named and whichwe believe without qualification willbe the finest as far as carnival ideason campus go,” claims Tillery.Coming Out Party for PledgesHe also pointed out that the annualIron Mask Dance would serve as acoming out party for all the freshmenwho have pledged fraternities andclubs on the morning of November 8.Iron Mask, junior honor society, willmeet tomorrow night to discuss meansof presenting the largest dance in itsrecent history.Clayton Treager, president of thesociety, said in calling the meetingit would be necessary for Iron Maskmembers to consider themselves re¬sponsible to the campus for an affairof the highest social magnitude. Fur¬ther points, such as floor show, or¬chestra, and decoration will be forth¬coming after the Junior BMOC’s de¬cide in their meeting what courseshall be followed.(Continued on page four)Maroon PollsFaculty Onff ar CrisisOver 800 questionnaires have beenpushed through the Faculty Exchangeby the Maroon to get the views of thefaculty on some of the most impor¬tant problems that the United Statesfaces during the war crisis.This poll is being conducted as apart of the policy of the Maroon to bea reliable indicator of student and fac¬ulty opinion. Ernest Leiser, who is incharge of the poll, explains, “Becauselast year’s war poll of the faculty wasso interesting, the Maroon is conduct¬ing the present poll to make compari¬sons to see if there has been a drasticchange in faculty opinion. Every fac¬ulty member will receive a free copyof the issue of the Maroon that con¬tains the results of the poll.”Keturn to Faculty ExchangeThe questionnaires can be returnedto the Maroon through the FacultyExchange. The results will be pub¬lished next week. Later, a similarpoll with the same questions will bemade of the students.A few of the Questionnaire Queriesui’e; 1. Do you think that the UnitedStates will enter the war?; 2. Wouldyou favor fighting if the territorialpossessions of the United States wereattacked ?; 3. Do you think that theadministration’s program of NationalDefense is progp'essing with reason¬able speed and effectiveness?; 4. Doyou favor the present conscriptionbill ?; and 5.

Cosmic Rays Botvto General Publicfor CelebrationBy MARK FISHERIn a darkened room in the basementof Eckhart a maze of wire, glass, andradio tubes blazed into light, boomedloudly and then subsided. We turnedwith a properly appreciative smile toouc guide in this realm of scienceWinston Bostick w'ho sighed, “Thatwas nothing; a Beta ray or somethingmust have wandered into it.”A few seconds later, however, theapparatus, which bears the unassum¬ing name of a Wilson cloud chamber,flared into action again, but this timea tiny thread of light flickered acrossthe centrally located glass plate. W'ehad seen our first cosmic ray.It’s Beyond UsThe operation of the machine is farbeyond us; all we remember is thatthe glass screen on which the i-ay isviewed is part of a glass vessel filledwith a mixture of water and alcoholvapors. When the cosmic ray appears,merely one of the many, many thatare continually raining down on theearth, it sets off and is made visibleby the path it clears through thewater and alcohol fog.The cloud chamber of which Bostickis a co-builder has led an adventurouslife. It has made two trips in an air¬plane, and spent a summer on the topof a mountain. The idea is that thehigher it is placed the more rays willreach it. In these high altitudes theresome time occurs a cosmic ray .showerthat fill the chamber with lines indi¬cating the passages of the rays. Suchan event fills the heart of all presentwith joy and awe.Exhibited for .AnniversaryThe exhibit was part of the Anni¬versary celebration which took placeyesterday and took place after thereleasing of the balloons in the circle.It was us fur as Bostick knew the firsttime the general public had been al¬lowed to view the interstellar rays inthe flesh.

Itsfiftieth anniversary is of national andeven international significance becauseit offers the opportunity of remindingour fellow-citizens and the world ofthe enduring value of the ideals forwhich the University stands.”“To the forces of brutality, chaos,and ignorance, the University opposesthe power of righteousness, order,and knowledge. Upon the triumph ofthat pow’er the survival of westerncivilization depends.”As the noisy block-long throng ofstudents showed their loyalty to theUniversity, and their interest in itscelebration, and as newsreel camera¬men and reporters clustered outsidechatting loudly over the clangorouspeal of the carillon, inside the Chapel,an audience of University studentsand friends sat hushed as the pro¬cessional followed the flag and theUniversity pennants down the aisle.Led by the Student Aides and Mar¬shals, in their black gowns, it con¬sisted of the faculty in multi-coloredacademic robes citizen supporters ofthe University, and the President andMr. Swift, Chairmat* of the Board ofTrustees.(Continued on page three)Big Town Goes Small Town;University Sends Up BalloonsClifton UtleyAnnoy Japan.Pledge NoticeDelta Kappa Epsilon announces thepledging of George Gertin, a transferstudent from Harvard. By DAN WTNOGRAD“American plans to evacuate citi¬zens from the Japanese Empire donot necessarily mean that war is im¬minent,” according to Clifton Utley,Director of the Chicago Council onForeign Relations.This latest move by the U.S., Utleybelieves, is a warning to Japan thatwe mean business in the Far East. Itpoints out to the Japanese that ifthere is going to be a showdown, theU.S. is ready. There are a number ofpossibilities in Asia, and the situationis fraught with “ifs.”Russia Is Que.stion MarkRussia is one of the big questionmarks. “Russia,” says Utley, wantsto remain neutral. There isn’t muchRussia can do, because of the menacefrom Germany. Germany’s army to¬day is practically unoccupied.

But the University, being Chi¬cago and a university, put some vari¬ations into the old theme and putthe balloons to a practical use, theacquiring of more data about cosmicrays.Five balloons, each with a diameterof eighteen feet when fully expanded,were used to lift scientific apparatusweighing nine pounds to a heightbetween fifteen and eighteen milesabove the earth. The large, hydrogen-filled balloons each had a lifting powerof two and one third pounds on theground.Collect Data On Cosmic RayDoctor Arthur H. Compton, notedscientist in the field of Cosmic Rays,explained that the apparatus wassent to a great height so that it couldcollect data about the variations inCosmic Rays as they enter the at¬mosphere. At a height of betweenfifteen and eighteen miles the appa¬ratus is above approximately ninety-per cent of the atmosphere.As the sun sets, the balloons con¬tract and lower their burden gentlyto earth. A message attached to theapparatus offers a reward to the find¬er if he wires Ryerson Laboratory assoon as he finds it.And so, after the distinguished visi¬tors were assembled in the circle, the five balloons were set free to floatupward toward the sun, and as theysailed beyond human sight the visi¬tors drifted away leaving only a smallgroup of scientist to watch the prog¬ress of the balloons with a telescope.Elect Nelson .S. and C.

Stillmore we praise thee that we face it unafraid,proud in our own strength and self reliance.Loudly we praise thee, alma mater.Today we, who see life whole and see itbeautiful, sing gladly thy praise, alma mater.Thou who hast given us days and months andyears in the precious fluid of Truth, who hastshown us the eternal in the changing, dazzledour eyes with the vision of the Good, the Trueand the Beautiful, and shown us the way of life,we praise. Loudly we praise thee, alma mater.Today we, who see life as it is, to see it real,sing gladly thy praise, alma mater. Thou whohast given us days and months and years toenjoy, hast taught us the ways of getting aliving, and of getting a good living, who hastshown us the world as it really is from theshelter of cloisters through the sham worldof activities, we praise. Loudly we praise thee,alma mater.Today we men of science sing thy praise,alma mater. Thou who hast trained our handsin the skills of test tube and microscope, offield and of laboratory, we praise. Thou whohast shown us the true nature of the world, ex¬posed the cunning contradiction of the senseswhich prove a world that is incomprehensibleto the senses, shown us the method of the sal¬vation of mankind and true progress, loudlywe praise.First chorus: We praise thee, alma materthat we are not as the philosophers are, hidingfrom uncertainty in flimsy systems, the prod¬uct of their own imaginings.

We praise thee that thou hast made usmen of science, not of visions.All: Today we gladly sing the praiseOf her who owns us as her sons.(\ye were tremendously stirred by Presi¬dent Hutchin’s commemorative address. But OTHER CASUALTIESoccurred earlier in the evening when Times foreigncorrespondent Deadman was addressing a group of steelworkers. Deadman, busy convincing the steel boys thatRoosevelt was a good thing, brought his oratoricalpowers into full play and shouted—“we’re with allyou guys in the COI.’’BEST STORYof the evening was missed by Halcrow, Berquist,Merriam, Teddy Schmidt, and Socrates Hyman, w’howere busy being intellectual. It seems that John Bar¬den, campus intellect of sometime back, was out withthe New York National Guard. Barden, in his forth¬right style, made several remarks not befitting hislowly station in the army. He was quickly told off bya higher-up who said—“listen, buddy, you got to be ageneral to speak like that.” Upshot of it all was Bar¬den’s Achilles act, which consisted of the young intel¬lectual sulking in a pup tent for the duration of thetraining period.ON TO BETTERthings. It seems that the entire cast of “MEET THEPEOPLE” has an intense desire to see campus life.So, the Maroon and the Dramatic Association havearranged for Meet the People to meet the campus at atea on Friday the 18. The MEET THE PEOPLE castis composed of a bunch of talented youngsters whowhipped up a show' in Hollywood, made a success of itand decided to bring it on tour.QUOTABLE QUOTESthis will probably bring down the wrath of theRathjes, but it is being told and is supposed to be au¬thentic. It seems that Mike’s mother once said—“WhenMargaret Ann found out that Hart Perry was a ‘radical’and gave him up as a bad job, you know what he did?He turned right around and hung his pin on some Rus¬sian”. Some Russian!CROP REPORTSindicate that the Grenes, W. David, of the Humani¬ties lectures and Greek department and Marjorie G.,of the philosophy department are now living on a farmtwenty-three miles out of the city. It was rumored thatthey were growing thistles, but this is entirely false.They are at present growing nothing in particular andare enjoying it extremely, and discourse on the highertruth with hay in their hair.THE ONLY THINGMaroon editors cut from the Adams-Smith bazaar ofFriday was a slight reference to the columnists inwhich they referred to themselves as “.Shirl-girl” and“Sal-Gal”.JUST AFTERMortimer Adler published his best seller, “How toRead a Book” he published a more learned tome entitled“Problems for Thomists”. A friend of Mr. Adler’s askedhow “Problems for Thomists” was selling and was toldthat about 200 copies had been bought. Said Mr. A’sfriend—“Well, that’s how it goes. One good one.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1940 ■Page ThreeExcerpts from Hutchins’ Speech-^This university is a symbol.4s wuch its importance is greater thanany time in its history. Its fiftiethanniversary is of national and eveninternational significance because itotfers the opportunity of remindingour fellow-citizens and the world ofthe enduring value of the ideals forwhich the University stands. The cel¬ebration of these ideals‘was never sonecessary as now. The light they haveshed since earliest antiquity is nowextinguished in almost the whole ofEurope. Though this country is nom¬inally committed to them, it has im¬perfectly understood them and mayhave difficulty in defending what it im¬perfectly understands. It has subordi¬nated these ideals to other aims, suchas material c<fmfort, which seemed to itmore pressing. But even the most ar¬dent at)ostles of material progress arefaltering now; for the tremendous ad¬vances which this century has seenhave failed to bring with them thatuniver.sal happiness which they werewarranted to produce. Instead of look¬ing. as we used to, toward a futuremade bigger and brighter by constantaccessions of material goods, we arenow wondering whether we can keepthose we have won. With the rest ofthe world in flames and this countryconfused, bewildered, and disillusion¬ed, we hold this celebration to raisea standard to which all honest andright-thinking men can repair, towhich i-mbattled humanity can rally.It is the standard of freedom, truth,and justice.

Iwill only say that it has always beenconscious of its calling and within thelimit of human frailty has been trueto it. It founders resisted the sugges¬tion that it should be a conventionalcollege. They were determined to lighta beacon in the Middle West thatshould shine to the farthest corners ofthe earth. So the University has neveryielded to the temptation to become atrade .school, or a country club, or akindergarten, or a body-building in¬stitute, however popular and even lu¬crative, some such transformationmight have been. The University hastried to remain a place for the train¬ing and exercise of the highest powersof man. It has tried to symbolize theeternal value and dignity of thosepowers.Devotion to the ideals forwhich the University stands is thesurest protection against the advanceof the totalitarian states or the trans¬formation of this country into one.We must agree to large expendituresof the concentration of national at¬tention on the material means of na-1tional defense.

Great as the contribu¬tion of the universities to the presentprogram of national defense will be,anxious as they are to co-operate in it,their most important service at thisjuncture is standing for the things forwhich we are prepared to fight.

The sumand substance of the editorial wasthat the meeting was an open meet¬ing held in violation of a city ordin¬ance requiring a permit from thehealth or fire department, secondlythat Pool did not tell the truth whenhe said he was booked. In consequenceof these infractions the Maroon con¬cluded, that the whole thing was justblown up by the propaganda seekingTrotskyites, and that no civil liber¬ties were involved.The editors of the Maroon shouldhave had more sense than to acceptthe legal opinions of the notoriousChicago police. Fiast; the meeting wasnot a public meeting. It was a meet¬ing for U. of C. freshmen, publicizedas such. Second and much more im¬portant there is no ordinance such asis mentioned above in the Chicagocode, and if there were it would be un¬constitutional. The police invented theordinance to give some color of legal¬ity to their actions. We challenge theeditors of the Maroon to produce theordinance, chapter and verse or re¬verse their judgment on the case. As to whether Pool was booked, it isPool’s word against the police. It istrue that the Maroon reporters wereshown the files with no record of thebooking, but that is an old game.The relevant data and the “opencharge” was written, according toPool, on a pad of the kind used in de¬partment stores for sales slips. Suchrecords are easily removed. The factthat the records were not kept is aninteresting reflection on how muchfaith the police had in the legality oftheir case. We leave it up to the can¬did reader to judge how much weightneed be given to the story of thepolice on this point in view of theirrecord on the other.The case is a clear and unequivocalfree speech case, and it is in our opin¬ion the duty of the Maroon to deter¬mine its editorial attitude on thatbasis. When it realizes this we haveno doubt what its verdict will be.Young Peoples Socialist League.Freshmen SetDate forCouncil Vote Homecoming—(Continued from page one)Chronology of EventsChronologically, Tillery said, thecelebration will proceed as follows:Fraternity and club pledging will takeplace Friday morning.
