The Maroon ProtestsFor the second time in the few short weeks since school hasbegun, the Hyde Park police have committed an important viola¬tion of civil liberties.When they arrested a group of peaceful divinity studentsyesterday and put them in jail on trumped up charges of “dis¬orderly conduct” they were guilty of a serious crime.Legitimate ProtestsThe pamphlets the students were distributing was a perfect¬ly legitimate protest against conscription. It simply asked Con¬gressional support of the repeal of the measure. Certainly Everycitizen has a right to do this. That the students arrested were dis¬interested in their efforts, is evidenced by the fact that they wereall exempt from service themselves. The extent of the sedition inthe articles consisted of a reprint of what isolationists have saidfor several months, and a quota,tion from Daniel Webster to provetheir ix)int.Whether what was said in the pamphlet is true or not is un¬important in this issue. What is important is that several Univer¬sity students will face trial for asserting their rights of freepress.FBI Disclaims Interest in CaseObviously no important government officials thought thatthis exercise of free speech was dangerous, since all the higherauthorities, from the FBI through the U. S. district attorneydown to Commissioner Allman disclaimed any knowledge or inter¬est ’ll arresting the students. The captain in the district admittedthat he had gone ahead on his own authority (despite a statementearlier yesterday from the desk sergeant that orders had comefrom the district attorney) because “several complaints had comein.”The captain should have had more good sense, if he had nomore knowledge of the law than to attempt any such flagrantoffense against civil rights. He should have known that it isimpossible to charge a person with disorderly conduct for passingout handbills, if they do not molest passersby. These studentswere not molesting passersby, and they have just as much rightto pass out handbills (since the only law requiring a permit forsuch an act has been invalidated by the Illinois State SupremeCourt) as the Democrats have to pass out Roosevelt leaflets onthe streets. •^Police Have Other DutiesIf the police in the district would pay closer attention totheir legitimate functions, and attempt to efface the wave ofcrime in the University neighborhood, instead of engaging in il¬legal and unjust activities, it would contribute much more to theprotection of the rights of citizens. Students Taken ToHyde Park StationPost $50 Bond for Release; PhyllisMeyer Faces Charges in Court Todayfor Passing Out Bills.Phyllis MeyerMidnight and NoonLeave Quadrangles!Surprises StudentsIn the Arctic circle it is midnightfor six months out of the year, andnoon for the other six. Strange in¬deed, but stranger yet is this Uni¬versity where it is never midnightand never noon.Consequences of this lack of timecould well be calamitous. Universitypeople are always complaining of lackof time, but no noon no midnight—!Realization of this fact means fivethousand citizens will have to golunchless. VV’orse yet’ Halloween willsoon be here. Midnight is the witch¬ing hour; no midnight, no witches;which is a pretty bad situation.Cobb ClockAt the bottom of this entire situa¬tion is the clock on the outside ofCobb Hall. It reads . . ten, eleven,twenty-four. There is no twelve o’¬clock. It could be a twenty-four hourFrench clock, but it would then beshort the hours between thirteen andtwenty-four.An explanation of this deep in¬trigue against time is offered by thefact that the clock is a gift from oneof the prohibition era classes. Thosedisciples of home-brew were capableof anything. The culprits who put“24” where every school-kid knows“12” ought to be were the membersof the Class of 1924. Snively Blames University ForDemise Of Refugee Aid DriveSays Scholarship Commit¬tee's Action Not Justified.Talk on "You andThe War" Tonight“You and the War” will be the sub¬ject of two speeches to be deliveredby Dr. Frank Spenser and ReverendGiaroussa tonight at 7:30 in the IdaNoyes Theatre.Dr. A. J. Carlson was to be presentat the meeting, which is sponsoredby the Campus Peace Council, butwill not be there as he was called toWashington. By RICHARD LEVINOut of the confusion attending thedemise of the Refugee Aid Commit¬tee’s drive, several pertinent facts arebeginning to emerge. Randolph Snive¬ly, past member of the student Refu¬gee Aid Committee, places the blamefor the unfortunate situation ratherheavily on the shoulders of the Uni¬versity and its Committee on Scholar¬ships, whose withdrawal of the crucialfive refugee scholarships, on the heelsof an identical action by the JewishWelfare Fund, precipitated the im¬passe.“It is difficult to find justificationfor the Scholarship Committee’s ac¬tion,” he said. “The faculty, who la.styear contributed over 60% of allfunds raised on campus, the DivinitySchool, C.T.S., the men’s and women’sco-ops, the fraternities, and studentbody showed no slackening of inter-Candidates’ MeritsPresented TonightPaul Douglas, Clifton Utley, andHarry Fleischman will stage a roughand tumble fight in Mandel Hall at 8tonight while airing their views onthe three presidential candidates.Utley, who will back Willkie, is awell known radio news analist. Presi¬dent Roosevelt will be defended byPaul Douglas, of the Economics de¬partment, and Harry Fleischman,state secretary of the Socialist Party,will uphold Norman Thomas. Thetalks will be followed by an audiencediscussion. PROTEST VIOLATION OF CIVIL LIBERTIESThe Hyde Park police yesterday arrested two University st’j-dents and a former Pulse beauty queen for passing out anti-con¬scription handbills in front of the Ray school, local registrationstation.The three were taken to the station at 53rd and Lake Parkwhere they were booked on charges of “disorderly conduct.” Allthe pamphlets they had with them were confiscated by the arrest¬ing officers.The woman, Phyllis Kiesselbach Meyer, wife of a University divinitystudent, and Chicago beauty queen three • years ago, was released al¬most immediately under a $50 bond.The other students. Jack Haywardand Paul Henniger, both studying inMeadville Theologic.'-.l Seminary andtaking courses at the University, wereheld in jail until the afternoon whenbond was raised for them.Somebody’s LyingWhen the Maroon learned of thestudents’ arrest, a reporter went overto the police station, and asked forthe facts in the case. According to theofficer at the desk, Sergeant Ryan,the arrest had been ordered by the“district attorney.” Checking up withthe United States district attorney,the agent in charge in the local FBIoffices. States Attorney Cewpiney; andCommissioner Allman, the reporterreceive categorical denials that anyorder for any such arrest had beenturned in from their offices.The Commissioner’s office suggestedthat the Maroon contact the captainof the district. The reporter followedthese instructions and discovered thatthe order for the arrest had comefrom Captain Crane, in charge of the6th district, and not from any higherups.Crane Orders ArrestCrane contended that he orderedthe arrest of the students, on chargesof disorderly conduct, after “four orfive telephone calls had been re¬ceived” about the students. Accordingto Crane, a squad car came aroundand told members of the Youth Com¬mittee against War to stop passingout their leaflets, which read “RepealConscription.” When the squad carrolled around again, the students werestill at work, distributing) the bills, so(Continued on page three).Queen in the "Clink.”est, or any evidence that they wouldfail to respond to any drive renewedthis year. The student Refugee AidCommittee was startled by the Uni¬versity’s sudden action, and is as yetundecided on what to do.”According to Snively “The grave¬ness of the situation resulting fromthis move is impossible to over em¬phasize. There are now a number ofrefugee students matriculating hereon student visas, dependent upon theaid of the Committee for their con¬tinued attendance at the Universityand, in turn, for their continued stayin this country. It need hardly bestated what deportation would meanto them. These students were broughthere by the University, and selectedby them so haphazardly that it isdoubtful whether they could all earnregular scholarships. They are ourresponsibility.”Snively added that the way is stillopen. “The student committee has onhand $1,430, enough to enable, witheconomies, the refugees on campus tosubsist for the year. Last year’sdrive did not start till the third quar¬ter, and attained its objective. On anecessarily smaller scale, the samething might be done again.The Student Committee is still verymuch in existence, according to Snive¬ly, and will soon meet to decide onits future course of action. “It maydecide to drop the Aid, or it may de¬cide to select only the students facingdeportation and aid them. It mayattempt the Herculean task of run¬ning a drive to support all the stu¬dents. In any case, with the Univer¬sity recently elevated to the dignityof a symbol of democracy, a blanketdeath sentence passed by it upon stu¬dents brought here under its own su¬pervision, would not raise the pleas¬antest of smells.” 1300 StudentsSign Up ForWar ServiceThe special selective service regis¬tration place in Bartlett did a thriv¬ing business yesterday as 1300 Uni¬versity students signed up for pos¬sible military service.In keeping with the internationalcharacter of the University, 92 aliensrepresenting 18 foreign countries reg¬istered. These students will-of coursebe exempt from service but under thelaw had to register just the same.Among the countries represented wereIraq, Palestine, Cape Town, SouthAfrica, Turkey, China, and Thailand.Canada had the most representativeswith 31 and was followed by Chinawho had 18 students on the campus.Belligerents RegisterThe warring nations were repre¬sented by two Englishmen, one Aus¬tralian and mine Germans besidesthe above mentioned Canadians. TwoPoles and five Czechs also registered.The luckiest or perhaps the unluck-iest, depending on how you look at it,of all the registrants was AndrewPeterson who yesterday celebrated abirthday, his twenty-first.Page Two THE DAILY MAROON.

Patrolman George Bevanand Emmett Miller assigned to Squad Car No. 109, whowere cruising in that locality were advised by “radio¬gram” of this occurrence, and arrived on the scene im¬mediately. Upon arrival they found Paul Harrison thevictim of an assault and robbery, assisted by two othercitizens holding one Walsh Collins (colored) whom Mr.Harrison identified as having held him up and takenhis wallet containing $15 in U. S. Currency, During theperpetration of the robbery the victim (Harrison) wascut on the neck with a pocket knife in the hands of hisassailant (Collins).The officers searched Collins and the wallet andcontents which were the property of Mr. Harrison werefound on his person, Collins was booked for Robberyand Assault with a Deadly Weapon and upon arraign¬ment in the Felony Court was held in bonds of $10,000.-00 on October 10th, 1940, date of trial has not yet beenset.I advised Mr. Hankla that there are two uniformedofficers patrolling the vicinity (University of ChicagoSection) augmented by a uniformed squad who patrolthat section. Squad No, 44 whose members are assignedin citizen’s dress spend considerable time in this area.Officers assigned to the prevention of automobilethefts in this District, who are also in citizen’s dress,traverse this section almost continuously during theirtours of duty, and every effort possible is being extend¬ed to properly safeguard students attending the Uni¬versity of Chicago, as well as any citizens who residein this locality, and others who pass to and from samedaily.”Raymond Crane,Captain Commanding 6th District(Captain Cran&'s disregard for honesty is amazing. Inthe first place, Mr. Hankla has definite informationabout previous robberies. If the police department wasunable to find any such record in their files it wasbecause they are as inefficient in their office work asthey have been in policing the University neighborhood.Several of the robberies were reported to them. Of thatwe have definite proof. We will have to take the wordof the police—unreliable as it has seemed in the recentpast—that sufficient protection will be awarded thisneighborhood in the future.

Dr. Gray also states thaton increasing number of people with masters and doc¬tors degrees are finding it advisable to teach in secon¬dary schools until they find places in colleges and uni¬versities.As an aid to students in meeting requirements forteaching, the University grants a secondary schoolcertificate which serves as a recommendation concern¬ing the students preparation.Ellis Seeks ManagerThe Ellis Student Club eating cooperative is look¬ing for a new manager.

No matterwhat his intentions may have beenthe President has proved himself in¬capable of solving America’s prob¬lems.The President has alienated laborand Industry against each other. Wewill never have prosperity, prepared¬ness or a good working democracy un¬less the two are brought together inclose cooperation.The Roosevelt Administration, de¬spite New Deal propaganda, is nofriend of labor. The President, him¬self, opposed both the Social SecurityAct and the Minimum Wage law, twoof the great social reforms of ourtime.Roosevelt Has Failed to PrepareLike Hitler, Roosevelt has been inpower since 1933. Roosevelt admitshe saw the danger to us at that timeand yet, today, we are unpreparedboth in a milita»‘y and economic way.The Administration has fosteredand encouraged great political ma¬chines whose corruptness is one ofthe evils of our democracy. Francecollapsed because of a corrupt politi¬cal system, so well may it be the col¬lapse of democracy in America.Third Term A Bad PrecedentBy seeking a third term the Presi¬dent is setting a bad precedent forthe would be American dictator ofthe future. This of course is takingit for granted that Mr. Roosevelt hasno such plans for himself.The two party system is the basisfor our democracy. In spite of thisMr. Roosevelt’s party has fosteredand encouraged the one party system,in the eleven southern states. Thisone party system such as is used bythe totalitarian states of Europe is abad influence on government and maywell pave the way for the end of de¬mocracy in the United States.After seven years we still have 11,-000,000 unemployed. A third of thenation is still ill-fed, ill-housed andill-clothed. The farm problem is pre¬cisely where the President found'it.He has done nothing about the rail¬roads except to continue lending mon¬ey, thus putting off the reckoningday.War Hy.steria Used as DodgeThe building industry was in col¬lapse in 1932. So it is today. Essen¬tially we are just where the Presi¬dent found us when he took office.He has no plans for recovery. Thecost of this spree has been twenty,two billion dollars, all yet to be paid.The president is now trying to hidehis record by creating war hysteria.Eight years of failure can onlymean four more of the same thing.Viewing the current trends I haveevery belief that the President shallbe returned to private life on Novem¬ber 5th. What is even more important,I have confidence in the Americanpeople, and know that they willchoose a truly great liberal, a manwho is of the people and who will befor the people, Wendell Willkie.

By BOB REYNOLDSBack again for an engagement de¬terminable on its advertising receipts.Pulse reveals itself to campus tomor¬row with as handsome a cover as ap¬pears anywhere and a shift of em¬phasis in its news handling from fea¬ture to interpretive news handling.Jean Roff, whom everybody nowgenerally recognizes as freshmanbeauty queen, decorates the cover.There is no semblance here to thesuper-suggestive picture of PeggyO’Neill that graced the initial issue ofthe '39 season.The general news stories are morecompact and factual, and their inter¬pretive treatment follows particularsmore closely than has been the wontof Pulse in past years. The editors,despite this improvement, did not getthe best from their make-up, runningheads in the same type faces almostthroughout.Of the particularly good stories,those by Milt Weiss, an essay on sixman football, the D.A. summary, andan Indian Anthropological discussionrate first consideration. The fashionpages with two excellent plates, mustbe named as the best feature in thebook.Two new points of interest, “Pa¬rade”, a column of four campus per¬sonalities—A1 Dreyfuss, Dick Salz-mann, Ann Dolan, and William J.Mather and “Club of the Month”, Wy-vern, have been considerately added.There is another dull psychologicalarticle by Charles Congdon which at¬tempts in a very meandering fashionto say something erudite in languageunderstandable anywhere west of 63St. and east of 63 St. They rehash thebeauty contest at some length andseem to take great delight in tellingabout their own dunking in the BotanyPond. JAs long as Pulse writers continueturning out such confused rhetoric as“Nostalgic memories of the passingof the old Phoenix sifted back toeolithic minds of certain campushabitues...” they must be classifiedas fugitives from a theasarus.Rollo Richman, new advertisingmanager, has lined up ads that giveevidence of paying the freight for theperiodical. From which fact, it can beconcluded that there will be no furthernecessity of using nearly ten ancientpictures over and over again.Freshmen to ElectA Council TodayFreshman class organization withall its ballyhoo and brickbats reachesits peak today. From 8:30 to 3:30 onthe first floor of Cobb, voting forthis year’s council of nine will takeplace. Only freshmen presenting tui¬tion receipts will be allowed to vote.The freshmen may vote for threecandidates only.Although not fulfilling the atten¬dance hopes of the council aspirants,yesterday’s meeting for the purposeof introducing the candidates to otherfreshmen was considerably more suc¬cessful than the one held last year.The candidates were introduced byMonroe Fein, each one speakingbriefly. At least 100 were present.The addition of Doris Westfall’sname to the list of candidates was an¬nounced by Betsy Kuh.

Monday Yalecomes out for de-emphasis of foot¬ball.Saturday Princeton was defeatedby a supposedly weak Navy squad,12 to 7. Monday Princeton secondsYale.On the first Saturday of the seasonDartmouth was upset by little Frank¬lin and Marshall, 23 to 21. MondayDartmouth also agrees with Yale.Hard to TakeThis series of events makes thestatements of the Ivy League quitedifficult to take. Last year when theUniversity dropped football, it heardno cheering words from the now-sanctimonious East. Apparently thesethree schools over-estimated thestrength of their football squads.^ It would be interesting to hearthese same schools echoing thesesame sentiments if and when theyturn up with a strong team. Yale’spresident says that henceforth hisschool intends to take the lean yearswith the good ones and let the chipsfall where they may. So it’s heigh-hoand off to de-emphasis the decadentEast goes.Pitt and LoyolaTwo more interesting reports con¬cerning football appeared in Tues¬day’s papers, one from recently-cleansed Pittsburgh and one fromLoyola.Pitt, which underwent a thoroughhouse-cleaning last year, is havinga so-so year this year but seems hap¬py about it. The chancellor is quotedas saying that there has been no ap¬preciable difference in enrollment inthe freshman class this year, and hebelieves that the type of football play¬ed at a large school is not as import¬ant as was formerly believed.The president of Loyola which drop¬ped football altogether says thisyear’s freshman class has increasedabout two per cent over last year’s.And ChicagoChicago’s experience is much thesame as these two schools. This year’sfreshman class compares favorablyto last year’s. It’s academic standingis still unsurpassed.All of which adds up to the factthat neither sincere de-emphasis offootball nor complete abolition af¬fects a University at all. Touchball Games3:00 Alpha Delt “B” vs. DU “B”Beta vs. DUAlpha Delt vs. Deke “B”4:00 Psi U vs. Phi Psi “C”Pi Lam vs. Phi Psi “B”Phi Delt vs. Phi KapHarriers BetterThan Last YearAlthough there are no lettermenreturning, the University’s cross¬country team, which did not com¬pete in last year’s Western Confer¬ence meet, is looking forward tobrighter times.Coach Merriam has fifteen men onhis varsity squad this fall, all sopho¬mores. Truman Dahlberg, Ray Ran¬dall, Walter Fairservis, and BudMonteiz were outstanding on lastyear’s freshman squad and are com¬peting with the varsity this year.Six freshmen have also shown theirinterest and are working hard.Says Merriam: “We are enteringa team in this year’s conference meetand, although we may not have im¬mediate results, our sophomores lookpromising. Our fall practice is alsobound to show improvement in ourtrack squad this spring.” “Chicago plays eleven-man footballagain.” These words were flashedacross the country by the press ser¬vices as soon as the plan to have prac¬tice scrimmages became known.The articles were by no stretch ofthe imagination complimentary. Sar¬castic sports writers cut loose withsome plain and fancy stories such asthe one the Associated Press carried.It started something like this: “Hush,don’t tell anyone, but they’re playingregular football at Chicago.” This w’asone of the least vindictive.The occasion for all this causticnesswas merely an attempt by the athleticdepartment to afford a little more funto the more advanced players who areplaying six-man football.SpeculationAfter seeing the scrimmage againstWilson Junior College, rated quitehighly in junior college football, it isinteresting to speculate on what kindof a football team Chicago might havehad this year.Tuesday’s game was not an ac¬curate criterion by any means. Severalfellows who would be playing varsityfootball this year did not play— “Doc”Jampolis, Don Wilson, Bob Miller,Andy Stehney, to name a few. Manyof those who did play were in poorcondition and couldn’t have taken tenminutes of the type of pounding a BigTen team hands out.The line which played a great partof the game was flanked by Bill Oos-tenbrug and Bob Weinberg, who justreturned to school. They both turnedin stellar performances on offense anddefense. Dave Weidemann and JohnKeller supplied a lot of weight at thetackle slots but neither were in any¬thing remotely suggesting good con¬dition. Bob Mustain is a fine guard,and Nick Parisi played superb ball atcenter.Backfield PersonnelChuck Boyd provided most of thespark in the backfield with his pass¬ing and running. George Basich! showed a surprising amount of drivein his off-tackle slants and proved adifficult man for Wilson to stop oncehe got started. Bill Sapp at quarter¬back leaves something to be desiredin the way of a field general but is agood passer. Bob Meyer completes thefirst-string backfield and is a worthyaddition. He can kick, run, and pass,but is light.The probabilities are that againstWestern Conference competition theywould do no better and probablyworse than they did last year.Offer Series ofBridge Lessons Phi Gams, Phi Delt “B,” Phi Sigs,Kappa Sigs Win Touchball GamesPhi Gamma Delta, last year’s uni¬versity touchball champions, rolled ontheir merry way yesterday as f^cyflattened the hapless Alpha Delt “C”squad under a merciless 65-0 score.It was the old story of Lopatka, Rider,Donian and Wisely running and pass¬ing their opponents dizzy.Bushcats WinThe Phi Delt “B”, known in fra¬ternal circles as Blackwell’s Bushcats,made it two straight in the Betaleague with a breathtaking 7-6 vic¬tory over a fighting Sigma Chi team.Although the Phi Delts outplayedtheir opponents in the first half noscore was made by either team.Things began to happen in the lasthalf however as MacLean of the Sigstook a short pass to put his brothersinto a 6-0 lead.Thirty seconds remained to playwhen Blackwell heaved a long pass toGene Humphreyville just over the goal. Blackwell scored the winningpoint for the Phi Delts a momentlater on a short pass from WarrenWilner.Kappa Sigs WinKappa Sigma bounced back fromlast week’s defeat as they outpointeda peppy Zeta Beta Tau outfit 8-0.Jack Edelbrock sparked the winningteam’s drive.Another 6-0 tally turned up in theChi Psi-Phi Sigma Delta tilt, the PhiSigs getting the nod after a hard-fought battle.
