Z-149 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1940 Price Three CentsWilder DiscussesRealism In Theatre Freshmen Defend Council AsInstrument Of Qass UnityThornton Wilder, Pulitzer Prizedramatist, came to “our town” yester¬day in preparation for his talk tonightin Mandel Hall on “True and FalseRoalism in the Theatre”, the first ofthe Moody Lectures this year.In an informal chat Wilder dis¬cussed last night in a broader scope,the theatre as it is alive today. “Thereare two levels in the theatre”. Wildersaid, “the level of the pamphlet and ofliterature. The pamphleteer usuallywrites as badly as an editorial.”“(Jreat authors rise above the im¬mediate national, international, andpolitical situation. They simply tellwhat they have to say. The propa-jrandist on the other hand, puts acrossa point and then over the footlightwhispers loudly to the audience, ‘Boo!Do you get it?’”.Wilder feels that there is a placefor the propagandist in the theatre,but that it is transient and secondaryto the place of literature on the stage.“Our Town” is Mr. Wilder’s playwhich won the Pulitzer prize. Inmaking the movie version, one of themost striking elements of the playhad to be given up. Scenery and fur¬niture had to be u.sed, where the playused none of it. Wilder explainetl thatthe twhnique he used in “Our Town”which eliminated scenery made thestory of one girl the story of manygirls living, loving and dying. How¬ever, the movie calls for a photograph¬ic reality. “You see the pores of thegirl’s skin”, Wilder explained. Assaulter Says^^Not Guilty” toStudent’s (ChargeBy DICK HIMMELStanding side by side before JudgeHermes in the Municipal Court yes¬terday morning were two men. Onea young man with a bandaged gashacross the back of his neck. The oth¬er, his head hung, had a four daysgrowth of beard and a frayed shirt,spotted with blcKxl. Paul Harrison,University student victim of assaultand robbery last Friday evening, waspressing charges against Walsh Col¬lins, alias “Willie Jones”, the assault¬er who had attacked him with a dead¬ly weapon.Harri.son Tells StoryTried in the felony court, Harrisontold his story of having been held upby a man at 57th and Woodlawn.During the struggle, to recover themoney being stolen from him, he wasknifed severely by the robber, Har¬rison explained.When asked to identify his assail¬ant, Harrison, his voice weakened bythe affect of the steel lately thrustin his throat, quipped, “the gentle¬man on my left.”Collins Speaks Up The President Speaks Fox Stresses Integration,Democracy of Council Set-Up.MUST JUSTIFY EXISTENCE.. .These are hard times, Mr, Leiser.

This guy he was University To Remain TolerantDespite War Crisis, Says HutchinsPresident Comments onButler"*s Statement in In¬terview,bt'come familiar with..Now at work on a new play. Wildersays of it only that in a world of warand turmoil his play is full of the sig¬nificance of it, yet does not once men¬tion it. “I’m tired of eloquence andam writing a violent comedy some¬what along the lines of‘Hellzapoppin’’or the Keystone Cop comedies.”PU HeadsTo PreventParty ‘Packing’Political Union in its first meet¬ing of the year this afternoon willpiesont a new set of laws governingmembership designed to make impos¬sible the “packing” of the Union.The chief difference in the newregulations concerns the number andstatus of alternates allowerl each par¬ty. In preceding years all parties wereallowed an unlimited number of al¬ternates, but this year the numberis limited to ten. Furthermore, eachalternate will be listed on the per¬manent rolls of the Union.Prevent “Packing”These regulations will prevent anyparty from picking up alternates atran<lom to take the place of absentfull members. On one instance lastyear two of the parties took studentswho were passing by the Union meet¬ing and swore them in as members.These new members w’ere then al¬lowed full voting privileges.The new rules which have alreadybeen read and tentatively approvedby the Union’s executive committee,will also serve the purpose of allow¬ing membership only to those whotake an active interest in the Unionand its meetings.The meeting will take place at 3:.30in Law North. Besides the reading ofthe membership regulations therewill be a discussion of the purposesof the Union and its procedures. Forthis reason freshmen and others in¬terested in joining Political Unionare urged to attend. losing and wanted his money back.We wasn’t going to give him moneywe won honest, so a fight .started andhe pulled a knife. Me was sure apoor loser.”When querie<l as to how Harrisonwas wounded, Collins had only thisto say, “1 don’t know. He must of cuthimself or the police done it.” It waspointed out, however, that Harrisonhad not received the neatest trick ofi the week for knifing himself in the:back.' Collins’ Story ExplodesCollins story was completely proveda phoney upon the testimony of thepoliceman who made the arrest. Theofficer testified that he found Har-risoq’s wallet with fifteen dollars init in Collin’ pocket. He had alsofound the knife in Collins’ hand.Pick 20 Girls forMum Show GuidesFive little girls from school willspend thit afternoon strolling aroundthe University’s beautiful Mill RoadFarm estate west of Lake Forest thisafternoon. They are part of a groupof twenty volunteer student and em¬ployee guides for the public chry¬santhemum exhibit Saturday andSunday. Today at the estate they willpractice their routine for the week¬end.Those who will make the trip todayare Margaret Peacock, Mary LuPrice, Betty-Jane Nelson, DorothyWendrick, and Pat Lyding. Other Ush¬erettes are Madeline Irwin, RuthHalloran, Della Brown, Isabelle Bak¬er, Cecelia Solfanauer, Minnie Gei-singer, Gertrude Carpenter, HelenMaike, Grace Gi’aver, Star Hollister,Sue Reading, Eugenie Memert, Mari¬on Dillenbeck, Della Erickson, andGertrude Zenkers.Professor ThurstoneReported RecoveringThe condition of Louis L. Thurs¬tone, distinguished service professorof Psychology, was reported yester¬day to be much improved. He wastaken to the Presbyterian hospitalSaturday after being unable to stopa nasal hemmorhage which later ne¬cessitated two blood transfusions.Since he has the relatively rare typeone blood, there was some difficultyin finding blood donors. “The University of Chicago will tol¬erate the expression of any honest, opinion on the part of any of its stu¬dents or faculty members so long asthe law permits such expression,” em¬phatically stated President Hutchinsyesterday, in the first of a series ofinterviews.He termed dangerous to the func¬tion of a University any re.striction onthe freedom of thought of its mem¬bers, and said that in the crisis facingAmerica today, such freedom ofthought was being gravely menaced.He regarded as ominous the recentexpressions of the presidents ofColumbia, Califoi’nia and Michigan.As to the statement of the presi¬dent of Columbia, Nicholas MurrayButler, Mr. Hutchins said that theonly answer to it was made by a com¬mittee of professors; they asked But¬ler to tell them what he meant. ThePresident said that he certainly didnot agree with the statements attrib¬uted to Mr. Butler which said thatstudents had no share in academicfreedom.He added that by no means was theUniversity sacrificing its fundament¬al purpose of scientific inquiry to theends of national defense, when itformed a Defense Council. Such stud¬ies as meteorology, and ballistics, hefelt, are interesting and valuable inthemselves as well as an importantpart of modern warfare. __ __Wilbur Jerger TestsHutchins’ Theory Relatively few University studentswill be affected by the Selective Ser¬vice act, Mr. Hutchins thought. Com¬putation showed that only one in ev¬ery 30 students of draft age would becalled under present conditions, evenafter the period of exemption provid¬ed for the current academic year isover. This means that only 85 Chi¬cago students would be called formilitary service each year.Turning back to the specific prob¬lems of the University, Mr. Hutchinsexpressed gratitude for “the generousgesture of the students” in formationof a student committee to present theUniversity with an anniversary giftof $5,000. He expressed his usualconfidence that the Quinguagenarydrive would be a success.(Continued on page three) In an informal meeting yesterdaycandidates for the Freshman Councilaired their views on the necessity forfreshman class organization and dis¬cussed possible activities for thisyear’s Council.Kirk Fox sounded the opening gunof his campaign with a strong defenseof the Council. "It is necessary thatways and means of integrating theFreshman class for greater unity*later on be found,” said Fox. “Socialfunctions and discussion gi-oups aretwo methods of achieving this unity,and it is necessary that these activi¬ties be organized by responsible per¬sons,” he added. “Moreover,” conclud¬ed Fox, “an elected council is the bestand most democratic method of pro¬viding such organization.”Class UnityClass unity was also emphasized byEd Senz. He added a new note of in¬dividuality saying, “The council set¬up gives the freshmen an opportuni¬ty to choose their own leaders withoutundue pi'essure from organized upper¬classmen.”Lois Regnall referred to the suc¬cess of last year’s Sports Dance andStudent-Faculty luncheons as evi¬dence of important council activitywhile Jack Kahoun warned that—‘The Council must be more than anorganization of figureheads and pub¬licity grabbers . . . that it must justi¬fy its existence by a worthwhile andactive program.”More Democratic“There is no doubt in my mind,offered Duane Dunn, that the councilplan of government is more desirablethan that of class officers. Ninepoints of view is obviously more dem¬ocratic than three of four.”Carol Mooney and Lois Merker heldsimilar views in that they felt thecouncil method to be the most demo¬cratic.Leaders Of ASU Resign InAnti-Roosevelt SquabbleThe Maroon was impressed lastnight when it was informed that Wil¬bur Jerger, a University product anda recent instructor at the Harvardschool for boys, was now associatedwith St. Johns College.A little less impressed was the Ma¬roon when it was discovered that ourman Jerger was entering St. Johns asa freshman. Jerger, for some sixyears, has been one of the Hutchins-Adler disciples and a teacher of ethicsalong with various cavortings in thelaw school. At one time, Mr. Jergerwas discovered chatting blithely withMaude Phelps Hutchins as she workedin her studio above the Hutchin’s ga¬rage.That Jerger is starting college allover again is made a little moreplausible by the fact that St. Johnscollege is the crystallized versions ofthe Hutchins’ theory of education. AtSt. Johns no curricular slips, like thebusiness school, occur. There is onlythe classics. Toujours the classics.And, of course, Mr. Jerger. According to a report from theYouth Division of the National Com¬mittee of Independent Voters forRoosevelt and Wallace, two leaders ofthe ASU resigned because of thestand the Union has taken againstRoosevelt and the New Deal.The leaders are National ChairmanLee Wiggins of the University ofNorth Carolina, and OrganizationSecretary Agnes Reynolds, Vassar’38.Resignation LetterTheir letter of resignation statedin part; “To assert, as the ASU does,that there is no difference betweenthe major parties is not only contraryto the record, but dodges the respon¬sibility of every American to influ¬ence the future of our country; andit plays into the hands of the enemiesof the New Deal, so many of whomhave been enemies of academic free¬dom and the ASU itself.”No AnswerEmily Shield, secretary-treasurerof the ASU during the SummerQuarter, would not comment on theletter because the ASU ExecutiveCommittee has not met yet.The Union is conducting a meetingtoday in Classics 16 at 3:30. A1 Rubio,WAADue to the temporary close of theLasker estate the WAA steak fryscheduled to be held there Saturdaynight has been called off. Chicago District official of the ASU,will discuss the organizational plansof the Union for the whole year, andin addition, an Executive Committeewill be chosen. The meeting is opento all campus students.According to Adele Rose, formerchairman of the ASU and now execu¬tive secretary of the Youth for De¬mocracy, the reasons that Wigginsand Reynolds resigned were the samereasons for the breaking away of theliberal faction on the campus fromthe ASU last spring. Most of theseliberals joined the Youth for Democ¬racy, which is now actively campaign¬ing on campus and throughout thecity for Roosevelt.Allman, Harrel AidMaroon CampaignPolice Commissioner Allman, inanswer to the Maroon’s letter expos¬ing inadequate police staffing in theUniversity Community, was pushingan investigation yesterday to uncov¬er the deficiency in the staff whichhas resulted in the minor crime wave.On campus, William Harrell, Uni¬versity business manager and hisstaff of campus police have beenworking on a more effective patrollingof the Quadrangles. Both Harrel andAllman have been quick to act in co¬operation with this Maroon cam¬paign.oPage Two THE DAILY MAROON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1940"%£ VoJilq IfloADonFOUNDED IN 1901The Daily Maroon is the official student newspaper of the Uni¬versity of ChicaKO, published mornings except Saturday, Sunday,and Monday during the Autumn, Winter, and Spring quarters byThe Daily Maroon Company, 5831 University avenue.

Reynolds, and Daniel Winograd.BUSINESS ASSOCIATESRobert Dean. George Flanagan, Lyle Harper, and Myles Jarrow.Night Editor: Dan WinogradAssistant: Nancy LesserWhy Freshman Organization?The Maroon disapproves of the proposedorganization of the Freshman class.In the first place, organization along classlines is not consistent with the University idealin which set classes are supposedly non-ex-instent, and students advance at any rate theychoose.A unity which is based on similar interestswould be valuable at Chicago, but such a unitywould not really be achieved by organization offreshmen into one group.In the second place, and more important,such an organization could not pretend to berepresentative. At a preliminary meeting, pre¬cisely 34 out of the 500-odd registered fresh¬men showed interest in organizing. We cannothelp but feel that a large proportion of thosewho attended the session were simply seekingprestige and glory for themselves. But even ifthey were sincere, they could not hope, withinterest so low, to conduct a really significantelection.In the third place, we feel that a FreshmanCouncil could perform few useful functions.Its most conspicuous activity last year was aweekly Student-Faculty luncheon. The lunch¬eons could be given by any other group justas easily, and since attendance at them waslimited to around twenty or thirty of the firstyear students, it seems unfair to call them all-freshman functions amj organize a council justto present them.Such an organization would seem to be use¬less and unimportant. It would cause cliquish¬ness, and do little good. We are against theformation of organizations just for the sheerjoy of organizing, and therefore suggest thatplans for a Freshman class election be aban¬doned.E. S. L.HomecomingDespite the abolition of football, heretoforethe main attraction of Homecoming, the Stu¬dent Social Committee has decided to continuethe traditional Homecoming week celebration.This seems to us to be a commendable idea,and we wish to announce that we will extendthe Committee any aid we can.The program planned appears to be a de¬sirable one, first in that it should attract alum¬ni back to the University, and second that itcan bring the student body together in at leasta temporary social unity.The plan to give the finalists in the Vic¬tories Vanities presentation expert coachingshould make the skits more polished, and itneed not decrease their spontaneity. The six-man football finals should be more interestingto watch than last year’s Ohio State game. AFandango will be at least amusing, and it canbe at best amazing.In addition, Homecoming has been set ata stategic date. Since it follows pledging soclosely, it seems likely that a large number ofstudents would be celebrating instead of study¬ing anyhow, and channeling their celebrationshould be successful as well as advisable.Finally, we should like to express ourhearty approval of the way that the fundsraised by the Fandango are to be used. Pledg¬ing them to the Student Fiftieth AnniversaryCommittee, as has been tentatively planned,should show’ the way to other campus groupsfor similar contributions.E. S. L. Always the most popular sport at any college is thepicking of beauty queens. Timber for queens is usuallyreally beautiful women, gals with lots of verve and ap¬peal, or tootsies who have the “right people” interestedin them. 'Way back when the current crop of BWOCs werefreshmen the beauty queens were women like Joan Lyd-Cbel Grossman, Jean Peterson. Joan Lydinging, B. Ann Evans, Louise Snow, Jean Skeels, Mimi Ev¬ans, Prue Coulter, Phyliss Jveisselbach, and Jane Ander¬son.LYDINGJoan Lyding was practically the popularity queen ofher year and has remained in that condition for the re¬mainder of her career. Pledging Mortar Board, LaLyding joined the forces of Cap and Gown and has beenwinning beauty contests ever since. Current attach¬ment, Jim Bell, is now at sea. Nothing personal, mindyou, he has just joined the naval reserves.B. EVANSSigma’s Betty Ann Evans was surrounded by fourmen her freshman year and wouldn’t let on which shefavored.

EVANS.Mimi Evans was from a small girls’ school and wasoverwhelmed at her sudden leap to popularity. Start¬lingly blonde, Min:; caused a sensation by pledgingMortar Board. Her mother was chief alumnae advisorto the Sigmas.PETERSONThe beauties the next year were less numerous. Thequeen of them all was Jean Peterson who kept on be¬ing queen her freshman year.

The totalof gifts actually paid in since the be¬ginning of the drive is slightly over$5,000,000, plus $2,000,000 in pledges.Of this, said the President, approxi¬mately $1,300,000 is in ‘‘free funds”,which in the language of the laymanmeans that it is not restricted to somespecific academic purpose, or in en¬dowments,■ Mr. Hutchins was graver than us¬ual in the interview^, and opened itI with a half-.seriou.s, half-laughing! comment that “these are hard times.”He spoke as the first of a regular se¬ries of talks with the Maroon, as aventure in informing the campuswhat its head thinks of the problemsthe University student faces. As I WasSaying—By BOB LAWSONWith the official unveiling of six-man football Tuesday in an exhibitionon Stagg Field, a few points have beenclarified and some others have poppedup.In many ways the new game ismuch more interesting both for theplayer and for the spectator. It is awide-open game with plenty of longruns and pass plays. Few line plays aretried because of their small gains.Teams will have to go for the trickplays which pay big returns becausethey must make fifteen yards per fourdowns instead of the usual ten.Because of the nature of the game,there is little drudge work for theplayers. There is more man-to-manwork and more open field blocking,but there is none of that piling upthe middle of the opposition’s linethat is so necessary in eleven manfootball. The spectator can appreciatethe value of blocking to a team in thisI game easily because it is much moreobvious. No player is excluded fromI the scoring column and thus the head-) lines because all are eligible forI passes. Nick Paresi, playing center,Tuesday scored one of the touchdownsto cite an example.No Sissy GameAny ideas that this game is a sissyone wero obviated at this exhibition.Most of +he players wei’e breathinghard before ten plays had been runoff. At the end of the game most ofthe players were completely faggedout. It is such a fast game that allthe players have to be in fairly goodcondition to prevent serious injury.All in all, it seems to me that theexperiment will be a great success..Much of this success depends upon thecooperation, of course, of the studentbody, both as spectators and as play¬ers. 1 think that one game shouldconvince the spectators of its worth;the main difficulty will be to get stu¬dents to see that first game.

Bespite the avowed aim of HousePresident Percy and the brothers toattain a membership group whose in¬terests and activities are spontane¬ously diversified the fact that 11 outof last years pledge class of 18 wonathletic numerals indicates that aslight difference in direction if neces¬sary if his balance is to be found.Four of the brothers are Varsity teamcaptains: Percy, who captains theW’ater polo team, John Argali, swim¬ming team.

Sunday teadances, group attendance at the cur¬rent and choice legitimate theatre of¬ferings, and the annual alumni sem¬inar which later grew into the Alum¬ni graduate school, serve both asmedia for entertainment and educa¬tion.The Alpha Belts also share in thethree way party which the Bekes andPsi Us also have their nose in.

A few historical factsmay be pertinent at this point.The subject of a third term wasfirst raised during Washington’s sec¬ond term. There was no doubt abouthis re-election, but when asked aboutanother term he said:“— in withstanding the tenderof service which silence, in my sit¬uation, might imply, I am in¬fluenced by no diminution of zealfor your future interest, no 'de¬ficiency of respect of grateful re¬spect for your past kindness, butam supported by a full convictionthat the step is compatible withboth.”Crises Is No JustificationWhen Washington delivered thismessage troublesome times confrontedthe new government. But Washingtonhad an abiding conviction universallyshared by the people of this countrythat dangerous times do not justify athird term for any man.Yet Mr. Roosevelt repudiates Wash¬ington’s sound precedent on theground that these are troublesometimes.1807. The new Republic was on theverge of war when the third termquestion again arose. Jefferson’s sec¬ond term ended at a time when the“don’t swap horses in the middle ofthe stream” argument might nevermore reasonably have prevailed. Thestrongest of pressure was exerted bythe people of the new Republic andby the legislatures of eight states, forJefferson to run for a third term.This Feeling Was Not ArtificiallyCreated By Payrollers And Jobhold¬ers Of A Party, But Was A GenuineSentiment Of A Large Part Of ThePopulation.Because of his belief in the soundwisdom of the democratic precedentset by Washington, Jefferson decidednot to run.Noted ScholarsGive LecturesOn DemocracyW'ith shifting world structures put¬ting new emphasis on the role ofdemocracy, the University of Chicagowill launch a series of public lectureson this su’uject, October 23.

Ruth Wehlan, Local Queen, GetsNote From Pampas CasanovaAPPEASEMENT BECKONS!By A1 JohnsonWillkie favored conscription. ButRepublican Congressmen voted 2-1against it.Willkie pledges “economic aid” toChina, But a recent Fortune pollshowed 75 percent of American busi¬ness leaders favoring “letting naturetakes its course” in the Sino-Japanesewar.W'illkie has pledged a united frontagainst the totalitarian aggressors.But imagine Hitler’s pleasure, in theevent of a Republican victory, in deal¬ing with an America divided betweenan interventionist President and anisolationist Senate Committee of For¬eign Affairs (including Hiram John¬son, Nye, Taft and Vandenburg), anda House Committee headed by “Ger-many- wouldn’t-falsify-documents”Hamilton Fish.Apostles of .AppeasementWillkie is campaigning on an “aidthe Allies”, non-appeasement plat¬form, But many of his fellow Repub¬licans are waging campaigns in theirvarious states opposing that program.Herbert Hoover, Henry Ford, and C.A. Lindbergh are self-appointed Re¬publican apostles of appeasement. Fi¬nally, it must be remembered that itwas business leadership in France andEngland that helped finance Hitler’srise to power, fearing the “Red” bo¬gey, and who later sponsored the ill-fated appeasement policy.All Republicans are not appeasers.But most all appeasers are Repub¬licans. Will Willkie attempt to ex- Last year as an entry in the “AllAmerican College Queen” contest, theDaily Maroon sent in a picture ofRuth Wehlan, Mirror and DA star,as their selection for the title. MissWehlan’s picture subsequently ap¬peared in several publications.The magnitude of this magazineseems to be great for from the depthsof South America came a letter, notan ordinary letter, but a letter inbroken English admiring an Ameri¬can queen.Dear Miss Ruth:Surprised? —yes— Well, I’m anunknown, but I know you.Your name is Ruth. You areeighteen old; that is not? —yes—thanks again. I’ll- go ahead. Youare the most precious American stu¬dent girl...I know you are an ac-j complished singer and top dancer.I Well, God save the “All Ameri¬can college queen. Miss Ruth Weh¬lan. (Don’t mention it). Even sur¬prised? — yes — Introduce me? Ithink so.”And so the dashing*South American hero goes on to explain that he is alaw student “boy,” and “crazy (half)to see your country. Even I’m notall Argentine college king but I don’tlost hope.”Then he gets a little mushy. “Myqueen. Que<cn within the world’s big.gest democracy. You are the queen,I’m the people: Could your goodness'descend to write me? Why not? Yes.(Don’t mention it.)”The parting note shows the BuenosAires fan to be a learned gent. “Andnow, if you are good queen, if youdesire to know an admirer and friendin this southern land, youll write me.You can write in English (pleasevery simple), Spanish, French, Italian,Portugese, Hungarian, and Latineven.”Overwhelmed by the overwhelmingpower of sincere broken English,Ruthie wrote him back and hopes thatthe gentleman from South Americawill turn out to be her dream man,with perhaps a little oil business onthe side.plain these glaring contradictions inhis foreign policy in his Saturdayspeech or will he continue his role asa leader without a party?A WILLKIE SUPPORTERLAMENTS:Willkie’s Cleveland speech: “was aninsult to the people’s intelligence...,Mr, Willkie also charged Mr. Rooseveltwith having failed to prepare this na¬tion for war...the present adminis¬tration has been doing everything inits power to prepare us... (ChicagoDaily News Editorial, Oct. 4, 1940).If victorious in November the Re¬publicans will interpret their victoryas a repudiation of F.D.R.’s foreignpolicy and a mandate to follow anostrich-like policy of i.solation and ap¬peasement to Hitler.
