Alpha Delt GuestShe may be “Doctor Glammaticae”to her press agents, but Paulette God¬dard is just a grand person to herhosts of last evening, the Alpha Delts.For the beautiful movie star proved amost gracious dinner guest and quiteworthy of the “doctorate” in glamourwhich the AD Phi’s gave her.Here For PremiereMiss Goddard, who is in Chicago forthe premiere of her latest picture,“Northwest Mounted Police,” dinedwith the Alpha Delts because herpress agents decided that their chargeshould receive some scholarly recog¬nition of her beauty and talents. Andso, aitc-r Miss Goddard had posed forseveral pictures and had eaten herdinne** the photographers seated herin one of the Alpha Delt sofas,grouped the brothers around her, andsnapped pictures of president ChuckPercy presenting the star with her de¬gree.Enjoys VisitBut it was easily seen that so far asshe was concerned the pictures wereincidental to the fun she was havingasking the boys about the fraternityand quadrangles, and telling thebrothers of amusing incidents in hermovie career. If it was an act it wasmost convincing, for she left the im¬pression that she sincerely enjoyedher visit to the quadrangles.By JIM BURTLE“Our neutrality is a fiction and hasbeen so for a long time. A declarationof war is in order now”, Mary B. Gil¬son, assistant professor of Economics,told the Student Forum, Friday night.“Our ‘preparedness’ would be a realityand not a matter of debate and end¬less discussion if we had made thisdecision earlier.”“If Anxerica declared war now”, shesaid, “we would not have to put upwith termites in the guise of traitor¬ous German consuls and diplomaticagents in America; if war were de¬clared there would be much less stall¬ing in Congress and less debatingabout inconsequentials by Nye, Lodge,Ham Fish, and other such fry. We hadevery right,” she added, “to declarewar on Germany when it began itspolicy of racial persecution. That wasan international, not a national mat¬ter, for thousands of persons were ex¬iled, because of race, for other morehumane countries to care for. More¬over racial persecution is a violationof the code of Western civilization.”“Sweetness and Lightness Addicts”Miss Gilson quoted President Con-ant of Harvard when he said, “Cour¬age springs from the determination toface evil, not from a skill in hidingit” and she added that we were sorelyafflicted with “evaders” and “sweet¬ness and light” addicts.She enumerated seven of what shecalled “escapisms which many of usPresent Recital ofHijman's MusicThe Department of Music will pre¬sent a recital of contemporary musicby Julius Hijman, noted Dutch com¬poser and pianist, in the ReynoldsClub Lounge next Thursday at 8:30.Hijman will be assisted in the recitalby three other Dutch musicians, DirkSchaefer, Willem Pijper, and HenkBadinks, who will play several num¬bers.Before coming to the United Statesin 1939, Hijman was established inAmsterdam as a composer, pianist,and comment writer on musical sub¬jects. No Time for DebateSays Willkie ClubTo Local DemocratsThe Campus Willkie For Presidentclub has no time to debate the issuesof the coming campaign with theirpolitical opponents. Youth For De¬mocracy. This was the substance of abelated reply received by Joe Molkup,Youth For Democracy hehd, to a de¬bate challenge sent to the Republi¬cans early last week.This situation according to Molkupis in sharp contrast to the actualcampaign in which the President hasrefused to debate because he waspressed for time.Plan to Clear Up FraudsIn refusing the invitation to debatethe chairman of the Willki^ Club, BobCrow, said that his organization couldbetter spend its time cleaning up “the16 vote fraud wards of this corruptcity” than arguing with their fellowstudents.Crow defends his position by stat¬ing that insomuch as the presidenthad agreed to make five politicalspeeches himself he would be able todebate with the Republican candidateand thus there would be no need forthe University students to do so.Plans are ChangedYouth for Democracy had intendedto hold the debate Wednesday, theday designated by Roosevelt as “Na¬tional Youth Day”. The slowness ofthe Republicans in answering hasplaced Y. h’. I), in the spot of sub¬stituting a last minute celebration forthe planned debate.

The“nonsense” that we will become a dic¬tatorship if we resist Hitler. “Thedanger of Hitler attacking the UnitedStates”, she declared, “is the greaterdanger to democracy”.(Continued on page three)By DAN WINOGRADBombs rain on London; Japanmoves on Indo-China.

Charles DarraghConscience BotheringYou, Doctor?We are glad that Dr. Alexander G. Ruth-ven, president of Michigan, has a conscienceand a knowledge of what is just.We know that he has a conscience and thatit bothers him because of the tenor of his mostrecent message to his students. In this mes¬sage, he apologized for the expulsion of nine‘Michigan students, and denied that member¬ship in the ASU or participate in radical ac¬tivities has anything to do with their dismissalfrom the University.Inadequate ExplanationSomehow, though, we cannot be convincedthat President Ruthven was speaking the wholetruth when he issued his statement. It is aserious matter to accuse one in so high a sta¬tion of insincerity, but such a charge must belevelled until the learned Doctor explains pre¬cisely why those nine students were expelled. Ifthey were guilty of moral turpitude in theiractivities which were “disruptive of good orderin the University,” wouldn’t a man of as highmoral rectitude as the president of Michigantell the heads of other universities the natureof this immorality. For, in keeping silence, hewould allow these dangerous and immoral stu¬dents to be received at other Universities, in¬stitutions all ignorant of what vipers they areabout to harbor in their bosoms. In declining toclarify the term “disruptive of good order,”Dr. Ruthven may be aiding the rampant forcesof immorality. And of such a crime we cannotbelieve him guilty.Concealing the truthWe must, therefore, believe him guilty ofanother crime, that of concealing the truth. Weshould like to feel that the fact that all ninestudents were members of the ASU was purelyco-incidental. That all of the students had en¬gaged in radical activities before their expul¬sion just accidentally “happened that way,”we should honestly believe. But our sophisti¬cation somehow makes that impossible.We are sophisticated because we rememberan earlier address in which Ruthven denied stu¬dents effective academic freedom at Michigan,saying that anyone who didn’t believe in Amer¬ican democracy (apparently to be interpretedby the Doctor himself) was unwelcome at hisUniversity. We remember that he then de-nouned radical activity, and said a state Uni¬versity could not tolerate radicals.“Guests of the State”Remembering this, it is difficult for us tobelieve the Dr. Ruthven of last week—especial¬ly when in the closing paragraphs of his mes¬sage he admonishes students to remember thatthey must respect the hospitality of the institu¬tion which they are attending as “guests of theState.”In this last paragraph Ruthven sounds morelike the great old man we used to know. We cansee his guests being treated like some othercharges of the State, Prisoners in a penitentia¬ry also are required to respect the hospitalitythe State accords to them. This Ruthven ofthe last paragraph sounds to us strangely likea would-be jailer of the minds of his students,attempting to restrict the‘limits within whichtheir minds may wander.No, we cannot believe that Alexander Ruth¬ven spoke accurately last week. But we are gladthat he has a conscience and a sense of justiceenough to know that he should not dismiss stu¬dents on the grounds he did — that possessionof unorthodox economic or political viewsshould not be grounds for expulsion from aUniversity.

Six-man FootballStandingsCrowding fraternity competition outof the limelight, the independent anddormitory teams took over the touch-ball program yesterday with fourgames.The independent game found theGeology team trimming Housing Co¬op, 13 to 0. The winners scored theirfirst touchdown on a pass to Davis,converting with another pass to Lon-dahl. Slater took a pass for the finalscore of the game. Slater was out¬standing for the Geology boys whileAllen starred for the losers.Judson WinsIn a bang-up game Judson Courtdefeated Burton “600”, 13-6. Judsondrew first blood when Harold Lutzkesnared a pass for a touchdown. MikeMills ran for the extra point. Burtoncame back with a score as Segelromped across after catching a pass.Judson put the game on ice, however,when Lutzke scored again on the endof a double lateral.Burton “600’ won on forfeit fromBurton “700” when not a man showedup for the other team.The final game of the day saw Bur¬ton “800,” last year’s dorm champions,beating Judson “400”, 20 to 0. Moorescored twice for the victors, and Voll-mar once. MacNichols and Bartlettaccounted for the extra points.Vorres HopefulBut UncertainIf genial Coach Spyros Vorres hashis way this year, Chicago will end upthe wrestling season with a record towhich anyone can look with pride. Al¬though pointing out decided weak¬nesses in certain weight classes, hestressed the fact that the large num¬ber of numeral winners from lastyear’s freshman squad plus the re¬turning varsity lettermen should beable to block up these holes satis¬factorily.Captained by Willy Littleford thereturning regulars include Carol Pyle,Bernard Stone, Bob Brown and MiltVV'eiss. However, some of these menhave not as yet appeared for regularpractice.Vacancies FoundThe greatest vacancy is found inthe 121 pound class where Fritz, whothis year transferred to anotherschool, will be sorely missed. Othervacancies are found in the 136, 146,and 176 pound weight classes. It ishoped that the returning freshmangroup of Allison, Bates, Cerny, Gets,Massey, Mustain, Ondrus, Petty, andStorer will be able to aid in fillingthese positions.The shedule this year appears at¬tractive with actual dates for Big Tenmatches undecided as yet. An easterntrip is definitely scheduled which in¬cludes a contest with Franklin andMarshall College on January 16 and asecond match with the University ofPennsylvania the following day. Bothschools are expected to present strongteams.In a final word. Coach Vorres ex¬tended an invitation to all men, espe¬cially to those who can compete inthe lighter divisions, to come out andtry for positions, as these openingsare by no means definitely filled by thepresent candidates.Ping-Pong TourneyBegins Monday•Monday the annual All-Universityping-pong tournament gets underway.

Of apossible total of 30 Hand netted 11,Reynolds 10, and the third expert 19.Oh, how he sneered, and how he iswaiting for someone to ask him howhis predictions came out!* * *Despite the abolition of football theUniversity is definitely a member ofthe Western Conference, Arch Wardnotwithstanding. Each Monday thefantastic creations of the minds of thevarious press agents of the other nineschools pour into the Maroon office.They send such blurbs of pap as thefollowing:Capt. Tom Riggs of Illinois, whosesize 14B shoes are the object of fre¬quent joking by his teammates, wearsspecial-built football shoes costing $18per pair (but even these couldn’t keephim on his feet against Michigan)...Jack Crain of Texas was nick-named“the Cowboy” because he earns hisspending money selling the famousCowboy boots of Nocona, Texas (isthat in addition to his regular weeklysalary ?)... there are four guys namedSmith on the Indiana squad (and Ihate all of them for beating Iowa andcrossing up my prediction on thatgame).A SampleBut that is enough to give you asample of what happens when pressagents are given a few free minutesin which to think up little articles tobrighten up sports columns through¬out the country.There is one consolation, however.Think how many Arch Ward gets. Ionly wish that Col. McCormick wouldmake him read every single one. Fromhis column, though, I think he does.« >•>According to the University ofMichigan press release, end Ed Frutigreceived a letter from Joe Koufman,Harvard right end, a few days afterthe Harvard-Michigan game. Oneparagraph was as follows, and I thinkit’s just the sweetest thing I everheard: “Anyway, I never enjoyedplaying in a losing game as much asagainst you, and I thought I’d like towish one of you the best of every¬thing for all of you during the re¬mainder of the season.”If this reaction is typical of theHarvard squad as the release states, itis no surprise to me that Harvard wasnot included in that little clique ofrighteous Eastern schools who are go¬ing to de-emphasize football. TheCrimson have gone about it in a quietway and have accomplished more thanthe other schools will do even if theylose all their games.

Fencers FaceTough SeasonAlthough surrou< ded by the largestgroup of candidates in many yearsCoach Hermanson is anything butoptimistic about the outlook for thefencing team this year.Crippled by the loss of a largenumber of key men by graduation,the squad will have to depend for themost part upon Captain Herb Ruben,the one returning letterman, and thefew other standbyes who were activelast year. These include Ray Nortonand Don Petrie on sabre. Bob Kraybilland Ben Pritz on foil, and NortonGinsberg and Bob Hull on epee.Good RecordCoach Hermanson’s record at Chi¬cago has been unusually impressive.He has coached his past five teams toconference championships. Thechances of a sixth title will be greatlyincreased, however, if this year’s cropof aspiring fencers should contain afew boys of unusual ability. As yet,no material of varsity caliber hasbeen uncovered.The varsity team faces some stiffcompetition with the first meet sched¬uled for the early part of January.Several practice meets are to be heldbefore the official opening of Big Tencompetition which should do much toaid the team in preparing for the realtest. At present, Chicago will face fiveconference schools in scheduled con¬tests including Northwestern, Illinois,Wisconsin, Ohio State, and Michigan.Biggest LossBiggest loss of the fencing team be¬cause of graduation is Loyal Tingley.Last year’s captain and former na¬tional epee champion is still on cam¬pus, however, and may be able to dosome coaching.

Gerard PopularizesScience In New BookPhysiologist Writes Book forLay Reader.By DONALD CRONSONSome years ago, Mr. R. W. Gerardof the Physiology Department wrotea newspaper editorial in which hespoke of the possibility of populariz¬ing science. Now, nine years later,Mr. Gerard has answered his ownchallenge by publishing the book “Un¬resting Cells”.The unifying principle of the bookis well summed up in the introductionby Arthur H. Compton: “The mostvaluable thing in the world is life,and the most valuable life is that ofman. If we accept these propositions,what is more important in gaining anappreciation of our place in the worldthan trying to understand what lifeis? It is this entrancing problemwhich is the theme of JnrestingCells.For Lay ReaderMr. • Gerard emphasizes that thisbook definitely is not written forphysiologists. The learned readerwould probably be disgusted with thestatement that red blood corpusclesare flat discs (as Mr. Gerard says)rather than biconcave. However, thisbook is intended for the uninitiatedreader, and therefore, Gerard hassteered clear of any unnecessary sci¬entific technicalities.Unresting Cells starts out with adiscussion of the possible explanationsfor the beginning of life. Fi tm therethe subject matter turns to a verysimple form of life, the amoeba, andthence to a discussion about cells andother attributes of life.Homecoming—(Continued from page one)The Freshman-sophomore tug ofwar and the immediately imminentBotany Pond fight, both of whichwere won by last year’s sophomoreclass, are wild and short confusionsthat probably will have only mud anddripping noses as their motif.The Iron Mask Homecoming dance,will branch out with two dance floorsand two orchestras. A professionalfloorshow has been engaged and willlikely be a loop night club show im¬ported for the occasion.At the Alumni Luncheon, fratern¬ity problems will be discussed andsolutions sought for the Greek prob¬lems. Six man football will be put onexhibition at Dudley Field for thebenefit of the Alumni and students.Shutting the show down, a bon¬fire in the circle, spotlighted and sur¬rounded by dormitory, and fraternitypeople, will burn until the crowd hassung itself out and proceeded to par¬take of the immence Carnival schedul¬ed as the last feature.Winners of the Victory Vanities Three months of a happy life camesuddenly to end yesterday for Zero,the Phi Belt’s St. Bernard puppy.Three months of Phi Delt fondling andcaring were not enough to counteractthe plague. Courageously last Satur¬day Zero battled for his life and ex¬istence. Untiringly his masters en¬couraged him in the fight. But thezero hour came for Zero. Twenty-threelittle tapeworms, agents of the devil,were victorious over fifty-three PhiDelts. Zero is gone.Book ExchangeBenefits StudentsStarted two years ago to “help stu¬dents get more money for their usedbooks” the University Bookstore’sbook exchange is as yet one of theundeveloped resources of the school.In the ordinary sale of a second handbook the seller gets outright fifty percent of the book’s original value andthe Bookstore reaps whatever profitsthe resale may bring.Exchange SystemUnder the book exchange systemthe seller brings in a book, gets a re¬ceipt for it, and leaves the book on theBookstore’s shelves until it is sold. Allof the money for the resale (with theexception of the Bookstore’s ten percent handling fee) is then turned overto the original seller. At present, thesupply is not sufficient to meet the de¬mand, and several hundred morebooks are greatly needed.playoffs and decorations will receivetheir cups. At the Carnival concessionssponsored by the various activitieswill operate to collect money for theStudent Fiftieth Anniversary Com¬mittee. Dancing and amusements likeferris wheels will entertain those notinclined toward games of chance. Allproceeds of the week end will go tothe SFAC. AD Phis, Psi UsLose Ornaments—Betas Innocent!The Alpha Delts are perplexed, sad¬ly perplexed, not to mention irritated.Last spring the sweet harmony oftheir singing won for them the qual¬ity cup in the Inter-Fratemity Sing.That evening the valued trophy wastaken from their sitting room.The honor and glory of their victoryremains with them but the cup whichsymbolizes it is lost and the AlphaDelts want it back. If anyone who |read this knows anything of the cup’s iwhereabouts please tell the brothers, jNo questions will be asked. If the itrophy is not found soon the brothers |in AD Phi must buy a new cup to re- jplace the lost one, and the boys can’tget trophies for soap coupons.Owls Lost, TooAll right, boys, where are the PsiU owls? The fraternity men who livein the brick house across from Bart¬lett are getting sick of having fellowGreeks pilfer their house symbols.Last night somebody ran off with an¬other of the granite birds, bringingthe total of lost owls to four.At one time five owls were spacedaround the roqf of the Psi U house.Intermittently various rival houseshave done fourth story work, and runoff with the symbols. Usually, as inthe case of the Alpha Delts andDKE’s, retaliation has been possible.The red party crown that glaresabove the A.D. door ha.s been takenby the P.si U’s and exchanged for one Iof the owls. Some years back the con¬stitution was likewise copped andsubsequently traded in on a slightlyused owl.
