Vol. 41, No. 21Coordinate PermanentOrientation Groups Candidates Krueger,Thomas Discuss "1940Campaign Issues"Dean Smith Lauds Mahon,Saizmann; Aim to ContinueWork through Year.A year round program of completeorientation for freshmen by a centralcommittee has been planned by agroup composed of the Student Ad¬visory Committee, Chapel Union,Women’s Federation, Freshmen Or¬ientation, and the Dean’s Office, DeanLeon P. Smith announced yesterday.“We have always,” said the Dean,“wanted an organization set up thatwould take care of the freshmenthroughout the year. We know as w«llas anybody else that one week at thebeginning of the year is not sufficientfor orientation.”Difficult JobHe went on to say that in the pastit was nearly impossible to carry outthis idea. According to him fraternitymen and club women, usually the mostactive group in work of this nature,have been taken up with rushing.The organizations listed above willcombine, after pledging November 8,to work out plans. These will includeoutings, teas, dances, and consulta¬tions on academic questions.Speaking of orientation in general,Dean Smith said he thought the work(lone by this year’s heads, Dick Saiz¬mann and Henrietta Mahon wasgood. “They did, it was claimed, aswell as anybody under the same cir¬cumstances.“We will, of course, attempt to bet¬ter ourselves in the future. I hopeeventually there will be no flawswhatsoever in our arrangements.”Not a Rushing ToolDean Smith also pointed out thatcontrary to the opinion of some, fra¬ternity and club girls make the bestcounselors. It is not true that theytake their positions with the idea inmind of cultivating the freshmen aspotential rushees.(Continued on page three) Bob Dilie HeadsFreshman CouncilBob Dille was elected Chairmanand Elaine Siegel Secretary of theFreshman Class Council at its reg¬ular meeting yesterday.Another meeting is scheduled fortomorrow at 2:30 in Lounge D ofthe Reynolds Club.Present plans of the Council in¬cluded a booth at the All CampusCarnival Nov. 9 and a resumptionof the Student-Faculty luncheonsafter Fraternity and Club pledging.Joseph Schwab, instructor in theBiological Sciences in the College,will be Faculty Advisor for theCouncil.CulHton AnswersMrs. Gilkey on ClubsBy SHIRLEE SMITH“The Maroon stated my commentregarding the Club system at theUniversity more dogmatically than Iintended,” Mrs. Gilkey told Inter-Clubpresident Donna Culliton in an inter¬view yesterday. The wife of DeanCharles Gilkey added that these weresimply her personal impressions andideas and that she earnestly felt thatthe big clubs held too much controlof the campus particularly in regardto the smaller clubs.Miss Culliton rebutted saying thatit was difficult to be generous towardthe smaller clubs because everythingon campus is based on the compete-tive system. The individual girls haveall the responsibility of getting aheadin campus activities.Any (lirl Can get Ahead“Clubs,” she asserted, “do not con¬trol campus offices.

Most of the 1358 univer¬sity students who registered on Oc¬tober 16 are included in this group.Yesterday evening a double line ofmen and wives of men who registeredextended around the four walls ofroom 284 trying to discover their se¬rial numbers so that they could com¬pare them with lottery numbersdrawn yesterday in Washington inorder to have advance information ontheir draft status. Room 284 is usedby the elementary school of the Uni¬versity as a gymnasium, and as theroom filled with potential draftees itassumed the characteristic odor ofgymnasiums.Questioners OrderlyHarry O. Gillet, chairman of localDraft Board 88 and also principal ofthe elementary school, was sitting bythe entrance ready to answer anyquestions arising. The questionei-swere unusually orderly, only two be¬coming difficult.Students in the University whosenumbers may have been called canclaim deferrment until the end of theSpring Term under the following con¬ditions. They must request that they jbe deferred. They must be enrolled in jthe University in courses leading todegrees; correspondence courses willnot be accepted. They must have beenenrolled in the University on or be¬fore January 1, 1941. If the scholasticyear includes the summer course, thedeferment will be until July 1, 1941.Few Students AffectedIndulging in mathematical specu¬lation, we find that of the total num¬ber of students whq registered onlyabout 30 will have their numberscalled. If .any eligible students don’tknow what their numbers are they caneither find them at the SelectiveService Headquarters in their districtor wait for the questionnaire to besent them.

Actor Says Danger from Dic¬tatorship Lies in Rich Class.Meivyn Douglas, famous screen ac¬tor, made a short visit to the campusyesterday and at a luncheon held inhis honor by Youth For Democracydelivered an enthusiastic appeal foraid to President Roosevelt.The movie celebrity claimed that thetrue fear of dictatorship lies not ina third term but in placing too muchpolitical power in the hands of thecapitalist class that already wieldsa large amount of economic power.Indispensable MenDouglas, who was introduced to theassembled students by Alderman PaulDouglas, also maintained that therewere'times in a countrjj’s history inwhich certain men were indispensable.He then gave historical examples bystating that Washington and Lincolnwere both indispensable to the U-nited States at certain periods oftheir lives.Roosevelt For UnityHe also stated .that the cause of na¬tional unity would be furthered bythe re-election of Roosevelt as he hadproven in hjs seven years in the WhiteHouse that he was the defender of allclasses.After the luncheon, Douglas madea tour of the University accompaniedby Hart Perry, Joe Molkup, Bill Han-kla, and Milt Weiss. *Chicago is the screen actor’s firststop in an extended tour of the coun¬try which he is making to barnstormfor the president.

Reynolds, and DanielWinograd.BUSINESS ASSOCIATESRobert Dean, George Flanagan, Lyle Hariier, and Myles Jarrow.Night Editor: Jim BurtleAssistant: Werner BaumHutchins, Adler, and QuixoteMortimer Adler was tremendously bitter inhis address upon which we commented atlength in yesterday’s editorial. He said thatPresident Hutchins had failed, “gloriously andquixotically,’’ to effect any substantial reformin American education.Perhaps we have an inordinate pride in theUniversity of Chicago, but we resented a greatdeal his implication that the University is afailure, that it is not organized on right prin¬ciples, and that Hutchins has been wasting histime, and philanthropists’ money.The University of Chicago, under Hutchins,is at least the second best, probably the bestUniversity in the country. Mr. Adler wouldprobably assent to this. But it is also a schoolwhich is not only good when compared to otherschools—it is good in itself.Of course, Thomistic philosophy is not theonly sort which is taught, and the whole Uni¬versity is not organized with theology reigningand all the other branches subordinated to thisqueen of studies. Of course, other philosophicalsystems are given an opportunity to be heard,an equal opportunity at that, and of course,there is a great emphasis on the natural andsocial sciences.But despite these tremendous handicaps tothe pursuit of truth, the University of Chicagohas numerous assets which can recommend itto students. There are no prescribed studies.There are no books which are “verboten”—which are placed on an Index.Individual inquiry is stimulated, and menare not asked to have faith in things formerlybeyond their powers of comprehension. Theyare given an opportunity to investigate forthemselves any sort of theological, philosophi¬cal, or economic ideas which they wish to enter¬tain. Not authority, but only the limitationsof their own ability to think clearly, restrictsthe path of their investigation. Unorthodox be¬liefs are considered rather more important thanstrictly conforming ideas. The Board of Trusteesdoes not act as an Inquisition whose purposeis to channel and direct the education of theUniversity’s students, and it makes no attemptto stamp out heretical beliefs.Students of the natural sciences are not toldthat the limits of their field of investigationprohibits them from attempting to discover allthat there is to know about the nature of man.No experimental psychologist is told, when heattempts to investigate the existence of freewill, that this is outside his realm—he shouldleave such work to the theologian or the meta¬physician.Men like Adler are allowed to teach alongwith men like Luchardt, Carlson, or Fay-Coop¬er Cole. Their ideas, many of them, are in dia¬metric opposition, but the only way students areforced to choose between them is through ex¬ercise of their rational powers. Mr. Adler hasto be more reasonable and more convincingthan the anthropologists, if he is to gain sup¬port. Anton Carlson’s arguments must be morelogical, he must have more proof if he is to winadherents to his ideas. There is no SupremeCouncil which will say, “Toss Adler out,’’ or“Suppress this man Coulter.”We could continue our recitation of the ad¬vantages of the University of Chicago for along time. The list of specific reforms made un¬der the Hutchins administration is also quitesubstantial, and to us does not indicate anysort of quixotic failure. The division of theUniversity into the Humanities, Biological Sci¬ences, Social Sciences, and Physical Sciencesseems to us a marked improvement. The sys¬tem of comprehensive examinations is a goodone. Treatment of students as adults has madethem begin to act like adults.Unfortunately, however, no matter how long our recitation was, Mr. Adler would not be con¬vinced. He is guilty of the sin for which hefumed against the professors in the recent con¬ference—he will not listen., Perhaps there is much justification for hisintolerance. It probably has been very discour¬aging, this failure of his to win converts inlarge enough numbers. But to term in such adefinitive manner, the University of Chicagoand the work of its president a failure, is againemphasis on rhetoric at the expense of accur¬acy of statement. E. S. L.The Traveling BazaarBy ERNEST LEISERHe Stayed for LunchThis is the story of Hymie Hesselberg and OurTown. Or rather our University.Hymie started life as a very young man. When hegrew up, he ran away from school, joined the army, andit was just one jump from there to Hollywood. Nowgenerally, people with names like Hesselberg, especial¬ly Hymie Hesselberg, become producers of super-collos-sal pictures in Hollywood. This Hymie Hesselberg, how¬ever became a super-colossal actor.After a highly successful career as an actor, Hymiecame to our town. He came yesterday. He was met atthe airport by such unHymie-like people as Betty Meul-ler, Joe Molkup, and Beati Gaidzik. In a sleek Cadillacled by a troupe of motorized cavalry, Hymie came toHutchinson Commons. Drawing a bigger crowd thanHutchins and the Physiology building, Hymie dashedinto Mitchell Tower. He stepped on the seal, and nineYouths for Democracy threatened to throw him in theBotany Pond. He went to see Hutchins, but Hutchinswas not there. “Tell him Hymie Hesselberg called,” saidHymie Hesselberg.Then Mr. Hesselberg went to lunch in Hutchinson.He got a free dinner because he gave a speech. It wasa very good speech, despite the fact that plates wererattling throughout.After dinner, Hymie came to the Maroon office tosee what the University was really like. From therehe was walked by the Maroon Board and a Democraticentourage to the waiting car. His parting commentwas, “If I had attended any University, it would havebeen the University of Chicago.”Hymie Hesselberg, you query? Never heard of him?Veil, I’ll tell you. Remember Melvin Douglas in “HeStayed for Breakfast”? That’s our Hymie. That’sgospel.That Was No LadyThe library was disturbed around three o’clock yes¬terday afternoon. Melvin Douglas, or Hymie as we callhim, was not the cause of the disturbance. It was a girlin a red dress. It was a bright red dress, but no oneeven noticed the dress—at least not for long. But thegirl, ah. According to Bob Reynolds, “Her proportionswere magnificent.” We don’t know anything about it,but Art Lopatka, Cal Sawyier, and Bud Caulton had toleave the library. They couldn’t concentrate. No onecould concentrate. People were reading magazines up¬side down like mad. Bud Aronson was frothing at themouth. The only person in the place who didn’t noticethe red dress was Allan Graves. He was asleep.QUEEN OF THE WEEKis Rooth C. Awlkwist. We have our own personalreasons for loving her, but public reasons are that sheis frisky as a puppy with a soul. The girls in the Dekeannex, incidentally, have a skeleton which is not in thecloset, but in the front hall. It’s a paper skeleton,named Horace, and its a son of a witch. There has beenno necking in the hall since the advent of Horace. Thisaccording to Ahlquist, who weighs 90 pounds, butpacks a wicked left jab.NEATEST TRICK OF THE WEEKis that of T. Nelson Fuqua, who said, and we quote.“When I’m alone. I’m an introvert.” End of quote.INTERESTING NOTE ABOUT THEPsi U party is the pumpkin on the lampost in frontof the house. According to Greg Huffaker (or HymieHesselberg as he was originally known) the pumpkinseed was planted in the lamp post early this fall. Itwas a remarkable feat carving out the face on the seed,but it was even tougher watering it until it finally grewaround the lampost just in time for the Hard Timesbinge.More Movie StarsIt would seem that there has been an “old homeweek” for Hollywood actors and actresses on the Chi¬cago campus of late. Last week Paulette Goddard cameto visit us. Yesterday it was Melvin Douglas. Todayfour other of Hollywood’s brightest lights are scheduledto appear on campus.The Phi Psi’s have the jump on the Alpha Delt’sthis time. They’re going to amuse Tom Brown, ArleenWhalen, Judith Allen and Alexander D’Arcy at lunch¬eon. Arriving at about noon, the Hollywooders will stayfor an hour or more, eating and if there’s time lookingover the campus.Arleen Whalen is described by her publicity agentas “a delectable piece of red-head,” Judith Allen isn’tdescribed, Alexander D’Arcy has* had leads in pictures,although he couldn’t be described as a star. Tom Brownis a young man who has made many touchdowns forfictional colleges in movies but who’s never been tocollege himself. That he should be making a pilgrimageto a university that has a fictional football team shouldbe significant. The Phi Psi’s will place an honorarypledge button on Tom’s lapel.

On the two evenings follow¬ing, performances will be given forthe faculty and friends of the Uni¬versity.First played in 1889, the year it waswritten, and acted by such historicalluminaries as Amos Allonzo Staggand “Teddy” Linn himself, the playwas a huge success. The first revivalwas held in 1907 and was equally suc¬cessful. The revival, with parts play¬ed by Ralph Gerard, world authorityon brain waves.

Abbott and his wife,Clara Abbott, President Robert M.Hutchins said yesterday at the dedica¬tion of the Abbott Memorial Hall andFund on the Midway.Asserting that the University’s bi¬ological scientists have maintained thehighest level of personnel and re¬search to be found in any institution.President Hutchins said that the or¬ganization of biological research, ofwhich the Abbott Memorial Hall andFund are an integral part, makes ef¬fective both the eminent men andtheir work.Clinics and Biologists“The University, so far as I know,is the only institution in which mem¬bers of the clinical departments areclosely associated with the pre-clin-ical and non-clinical biologists,” hesaid.Dr. Anton J. Carlson, Frank P.Hixon Distinguished Service ProfessorEmeritus of Physiology at the Uni¬versity, and Alfred W. Bays, trusteeof the Abbott Estate, also spoke atthe dedication.Carlson Praises Gift“Today a gift for research in bi¬ology seems almost a mockery,” Dr.Carlson said, “when we must train ouryouth, not to heal, but to kill. And yetin some ways this gift is not only ameasure of Dr. Abbott’s industry andwisdom, but as a fluid fund for re¬search, this gift will enable someyoung men and women, long onbrains, rich in character, but short onca.sh, to take the first steps of theinitiation into the scientific method,and, perchance, experience the su¬preme ecstasy in their first contribu¬tion to mankind’s knowledge.” Maynard Kreuger...labor is eager.Krueger—(Continued from page one) By SHIRLEE SMITHand SALLY ADAMSEve^'y Monday night 23 Pi Deltagather around the huge table in So¬cial Science 108 for a business meet¬ing.

Hutchinson, associate professor of A-! merican history at the University: said last night, speaking at the Art' In.stitute. The Articles of Confedera-I tion, under which the United Statesj was organized prior to adoption of theI Constitution, did not expressly forbidI a third term for the President butj the provisions of the Articles made‘a third term highly unlikely.Tight RestrictionsThe Articles provided. Dr. Hutch¬inson explained, that a President wasto be selected from the membershipof Congress. He could hold office onlyone year in three. Since the Articlesalso provided that a legislator couldhold office a maximum of three years,in any consecutive six years, a Pres¬ident could only hold that office oneyear in six.Radio Workshop, the quadrangles’new venture in the field of radiodramatics, will begin rehearsals of“Ben Hur” today at 3:30 in MitchellTower.

They combineda powerful air attack with good de¬fensive play to sweep the game. Steinthrew three touchdown passes, two ofwhich were received by Bauman andone by Gruhn. The first touchdown inthe game was made in four minutesof play. After Levinson intercepted apass by the Red Devils, Gruhn ran25 yards around his right end for ascore. Bauman ran the extra point.After the kick-off Stein intercepteda Red Devil pass and the Gophersmarched to their opponents ten yardline but lost the ball on downs. WhenBalia of the Red Devils then attempt¬ed a pass, he was hit behind his owngoal line, for a safety which countsfor three points in the six-man game.Then came the three touchdowns bypasses. Stein, Levinson, Gruhn andBauman played top-grade football.Unexpecteds WinThe Unexpecteds met the Bears inthe other game of the afternoon. Asexpected of the Unexpecteds, theywon 32-14. Fitzgerald accounted fortwo of the Unexpected’s touchdownson 65 and 50 yard runs. Bean scoredthe other three touchdowns on lineplays. Both Bear touchdowns werescored on passes from Simond toYasus and Magalian.Max BroohTAILOR AND CLEANERJUDSON-BURTON REPRESENTATIVESJIM RICHARD—140^UCK WAPLES—3ilFRANK RICHARD—i39E As I WasSaying—By BOB LAWSONMr. L. W. St. Johns, athletic direc¬tor of Ohio State University, made anawful fool of himself Saturday night,if we can believe the papers. He wasquoted as saying that Cornell’s coach,Carl Snavely, was calling every playfrom the bench by means of a light-colored cylinder.St. Johns went on to say that theOhio State men on the bench knewevery play that Cornell was going touse. Apparently, the Buckeyes gotvery sporting, however, and did notuse the information which Snavely soaltruistically offered them.Asinine ChargeIn making this asinine charge St.Johns incurred the dislike of everyfootball fan. Obviously the Big Redteam from the banks of the Cayuga isnot in need of any extra aid from theircoach once the game is under way. St.Johns is insulting the intelligence ofthe public in trying to make them be¬lieve this.This statement, however, is notmerely an alibi for the Ohio State de¬feat at the hands of Cornell but israther an alibi for the dismal way inwhich the highly-touted Buckeye foot¬ball machine fell to pieces this year.Pre-Season FavoriteStarting the season as a big favor¬ite to win the Western Conferencechampionship and led by Don Scott,almost a unanimous pre-season selec¬tion for All-American this year, Ohioi State has thus far won two gamesand lost three. They opened the sea¬son by beating a weak Pittsburgsquad and went on the next week tonose out Purdue on a field goal kickedby Charley Maag, who had illegallyre-entered the game.Despite being on the two-yard linewith four plays to score in the closingminutes, they still lost to Northwest¬ern. Then the mighty Gophers rolledover them, and Saturday came theCornell debacle.Scott OverratedProbably ttie main reason for thissudden break-down was the inabilityof Scott to live up to his notices.Touted as the super-back who coulddo anything and do it well, he hasdone very little so far. Against Cornellhe had five passes intercepted whichhad no little to do with the outcome ofthe game. He shouldn’t even make theAll-Big Ten team this year much lessthe All-American. And Francis Wal- Paint Hoffer asVersatile CoachMany undergrads know Dan Hofferas Coach of Chicago’s crack Gymnas¬tics teams.
