His Phi I’si brotluos beKan The Reverend Howard Shomer, As¬sistant to the Dean of the Chapel, ap¬peared briefly yesterday before Unit-isl States Commissioner Edw’in Walk¬er to hear the latter postpone the pre¬liminary hearing of his conscriptiontroubles until December fourth. Mr.Shomer was arrested November twen¬tieth by a United States Marshal forfailure to register for consciption.His arrest on this charge was thefirst in the Middle West. The post-ponemetit made formal yesterday wasarranged before hand by lawyers forboth the government and the defend¬ant.to wonder when he failed to make an 'appearance at the house for several |(lays, didn’t show up for his date tothe I-F Ball and failed to meet hisparents when they visited the campus.The University police were notifiedand they in turn took the case to thecity police but neither organizationcould find any evidence of the missingstudent.Heads f(»r TulsaThe mystery was quickly solvedwhen Van Horn called the Phi Psihou.se Saturday from Tulsa, Okla¬homa. He has friends there and wentto them after coming out of his am¬nesia in Little Rock. Since section five D. of the Con-scrii>tion Act of 1940 automaticallyexempts all ministers, priests, and di¬vinity students after they have reg-isteied, Mr. Shomer’s difficulties arecau.sed oidy by his refusal to register.Because it is one of the first casesof its kind in the nation, lawyers havetaken a deep interest in the proceed¬ings to date. All agree that if theyoung defendant makes his case a testof the lawn’s constitutionality thecourts will decide against him, for,they point out, the Conscription Actof 1910 vvas more severe in its pro¬visions than the present act, yet itwas upheld as constitutional in all thecourts in which it was tested.Probably no one was moretressed than the young woman hepromised to take the 1-F Ball.Lange Speaks to'New America' GroupAssociate Professor Oskar Lange ofthe Economics Department will deliv¬er a lecture on “Obstacles to EconomicExpansion’’ at 3:30 today in the So¬cial Science Assembly.

Requests for Supplementsfrom Washington, D.C., Salem, Mas-sachus.sets, Peoria, and Los Angelesare a sample of the wide spread inter¬est.Student ForumTo Meet PurdueFall round up of the men's Big Tendebate teams for the annual tourna¬ment to be held today and tomorrowat the University of Iowa and Min¬nesota, respectively, will include, asUniversity of Chicago representatives,Milton Shadur and Gordon Tullock.Shadur and Tullock will take the neg¬ative position on the topic, “Resolved:That the Powers of the Federal Gov¬ernment Should Be Increased.”According to the procedure to befollowed this year the negative teamstravel and the affirmative teams re¬main at home.

The public willbe admitted.Musicum GivesProgram of ObscureCompositionsTrue to a custom established inpast seasons, the Collegium Musicumwill present a program Sunday madeup almost exclusively of works neverbefore heard in Chicago. The Sundayconcert will be presented in Interna¬tional House at 8:15.The program, to be given by bothchorus and orchestra, will open with agroup of sixteenth century composi¬tions, first of which will be a compo¬sition by Heinrich Isaac to be playedby the orchestra. The chorus will singseveral madrigals and chansons bythe same composer and by AdrianWillaert.Both orchestra and chorus will com¬bine in the closing number of the firstgroup, an eight part piece by Gabriel-li. Fanchon Gelbard will play as a solothe Piano Concerto in G Major byHaydn.After an intermission, a doublequartet, selected from the chorus ofthe Collegium, will sing the entiregroup of Lovesong Waltzes byBrahms. Two compositions for a brassensemble written by Holborne, a con¬temporary of Shakespeare, concludethe concert.

Reynolds, and Daniel ,Winograd.BUSINESS ASSOCIATES the lectures are discontinued for a period, thestudent is left without his guide during thattime, and almost always he fails to progressas rapidly as he would with the stimulation ofdaily lectures.Guide to KnowledgeWe said “almost always.” It is importantthat the few exceptions to the general rule,those students who can independently pursuea course of study effectively, be allowed to doso. But it is just as important that those whoneed intellectual guidance be given it and begiven it regularly.Most students did not come to the Universityto waste a fourth of their study time. It de¬tracts from the worth of the education that theUniversity offers, when an instructor can say,as so many do at the beginning of the readingperiod, “Well, when you come back from yourvacation—.”We are sure that the administrative officersi in the Social Science division are just as inter-I ested in producing the best-educated studentspossible as we are. We request, therefore, toabolish the reading period—abolish it as an; experiment which has failed, and which isi therefore proven harmful to the students sub¬ject to it.I ' E. S. L.The Traveling BazaarRobert Dean, Lyle Harper, and Myles Jarrow.Night Editor: Daniel WinogradAbolish Reading Period!/ This is the third week of the vacation given/ Social Science Students each quarter. Sincethe writer is in the Social Science division, heis reveling in his leisure and taking advantageof it to reflect on the worth of the misnamed“reading period.”First, it is necessary to understand why thereading period was introduced. Contrary topopular student belief, it was not originatedin order to give faculty members a respite fromthe odious duty of lecturing to stupid under¬graduates. It was put into effect because it wasthought it w’^ould give students a chance to dosupplementary reading, to investigate with in¬tensity special subdivisions of the course, andreflect on the knowledge they had alreadygained.Fails CompletelyUnfortunately, the reading period has failedalmost completely to achieve its avowed pur¬pose, for undergraduates at least. Few stu¬dents use the three weeks each quarter forsupplementary reading, or for reflection on thesubject of their particular courses. Most of theundergraduates in the division merely spendthe time in making up the studies that theyneglected before, studies they neglected becausethey knew there were always three weeks inthe quarter in which they would have nothingelse to do.It is an undoubted fact that circulation inthe Social Science Reading Room and in theHarper Reserve Library is substantially in¬creased during the reading period. What is alsotrue, we regret to say, is that the books whichcirculate are those which should be circulatingduring the other nine weeks of the quarter.Limits OpportunityWe are convinced that a reading period lim¬its the amount of knowledge that a large ma¬jority of students can gain in their courses. In¬stead of listening to lectures over a twelve weekperiod, and concurrently doing reading whichsupplements the lectures during all of thosetwelve weeks, what happens is that studentsspend nine weeks attending lectures, and threeweeks in doing the prescribed readings of thecourse.From our own experience, we should judgethis to be harmful. In few of the courses ofstudy in the Social Sciences, is it advantageousto cut the time allotted to lectures, and therebycondense the lecture material. Most lecturers,even in a twelve week lecture course, are ableto devote little attention to the material at theend of the course, and if lecture time is cutdown to nine weeks, this evil is aggravated.Students Mature EnoughBut, you may say; granted that twelve weeklecture periods are good. For the rest your argu¬ment is not valid, however. Students should bemature enough to do the required reading dur¬ing the suggested time, and should have intelli¬gence and desire for learning enough to devotetheir reading periods to doing specialized, sup¬plementary, or advanced work.This is not the case. If all young men andyoung women were mature enough to pursuesuch supplementary work, there would be nonecessity for university instruction. Thereasons that schools of higher education existare to guide the students’ readings, attempt tointegrate it, and provide him with the additionaldesire for reading that lectures inspire.

Six-Man Race Still UndecidedProtest Gophers ^-Red Devil Game;Oh, for the life of a coach. It looks intriguing at times, but Coach KyleAnderson is certainly getting his share of trouble in the six-man league thisseason. While men like Waldorf and Bierman can take it easy for a whilenow, he is getting into deeper water all the time.Last Thursday, after three postponments, the Gophers and Red Devilsfinally met to settle the six-man race. The Gophers beat the Red Devils13-12 in a thrilling contest to tie for first place.At the beginning of the second half 'of Thursday’s game the Red Devilswere leading the Gophers by a 12-0 score.Balia’s Pass IllegalThe Gophers took the kick-off and were held for downs. They thenpunted and George Balias .started to run the punt back. When he saw he wasgoing to be tackled on his own 16-yard line he threw a forward pass whichwas not completed. This, of course, was illegal but the Red Devils shouldhave been allowed to take the ball onfirst down from the spot where Bal¬ia attempted the pass. Coach Ander¬son, however, overlooked this.By The Orderof theSecond GuessCarl LarsenTake it from the Sage of the Mid¬way: Mortimer .1.

All three of theseboys have something on the ball, but He awarded the ball to the Goph¬ers on the Red Devils fifteen, "rhesurprising thing was that the RedDevils did not protest. Much wonder¬ing about the decision took place alongthe side-lines but the Red Devils saidnothing. The Gophers tooj^ the balland scored a touchdown on threeplays. Later in the same half they.scored again on a 70-yard run byBob Stein. They made the extra pointand won the game.In the dressing room one of theRed Devils must have had a brain¬storm, and all of a sudden the gamewas protested.Replay Second HalfThe usual custom is to play thegame over from the point of the falsedecision. This would be unfair to theGophers as they would be robbed ofthe brilliant 70-yard run which Steinmade later in the game. It was there¬fore decided that the second half ofthe game should be played over butthe score at the start should be 12-7instead of 12-0.

Among: the speakers wereI. A. Richards, world-famous seman-titn.st, Mortimer Adler, Daniel Pres¬cott, and Ronald S. Crane.Mr. .Adler started the Friday morn¬ing: session off with a bang. Remark¬ing that English teachers must de¬plore the sad state of “liberal educa-) tion” almost as much as he does, headv’ocated that they commit masssuicide. This heroic martyrdom, herecommended, could become a meansfor undepartmentalizing training inliterature and the liberal arts, so thatgreat books could be used throughoutthe schools as the primary mediumfor teaching the liberal arts.Following .Adler on the program, I.^"A. Richards surprised some membersof the audience by apparently recant¬ing the materialism which has dis¬tinguished the semanticist approach.Basic Engli.sh, he said, must be con¬sidered as merely a "means for under¬standing and analysis. Translationsof philosophical and poetic works intobasic English could never satisfactor¬ily substitute for the works them¬selves.How to ReadIn the afternoon Adler gave a prac¬tical demonstration of the second stepin “How to Read a Book.” He ana¬lyzed words, propositions, and argu¬ments in the first two chapters ofAristotle’s “Politics” and the first sixof Rousseau’s “Social Contract”; Adler“Touts Jap methods"Letters tothe EditorHoard of Control,Daily Maroon:Although I am personally stronglyin favor of the Selective Service Act(My serial number is 2087!), I thinkthat the position of my good friendHoward Schomer is intellectuallysound. W.B.H. missed the point in hiseditorial last Wednesday.As I understand his case, Schomerdid not register on October 16 fortwo reasons:1. Because he is a licensed Congre¬gational Minister, Schomer could nothave voiced his conscientious objectionto the Selective Service Act in anyother manner than by refusing to reg¬ister on October 16. To register andthereby accept automatic exemptionwould deprive Schomer of his oppor¬tunity as a citizen to voice conscien¬tious objection. In short, the accept¬ance of this automatic exemptionwould, in Schomer’s judgment, be tat-show’ing that, though the two books amount to giving his tacit approvalapparently disagreed, they could ac- ] to the militarization of this country.tually be reconciled, and could be understood to correct and complete oneanother on questions of political phi¬losophy.Crane Defends 2.

The first, where the end ofreading is in.struction and the refer¬ence is to truth in a certain subjectmatter, is Mortimer Adler’s way, hesaid. I. A. Richai’ds, on the otherhand, is an exponent of the secondmethod, taking a book as an exampleof behavior. Marxists and Humanistswork in the third method, consider¬ing books in terms of the author’smind and passions reacting to a sub¬ject matter. Genetic research is thepurpose of philological reading. Thefifth approach aims at an explanationof the book itself in its own terms.It tries to discover the order of a bookand the rea.sons for this order.Although pres.sed to do so, Mr.Crane refused to lay down any dictawhich of the five approaches theprospective teacher should use.IPress ServicesCleared of ChargeThe following quotation appeared ina recent Maroon interview with Den¬nis McEvoy; “One thing the pressservices do, said McEvoy, is to makestories sound sensational so news¬papers will use them. When a dispatchquotes a ‘high authority’, or a ‘usual¬ly reliable source’, it is really only thereporter saying what he thinks.”These statements are misquota¬tions. Neither McEvoy or the Maroonintended to cast a slur upon the ethicsof the press services or the authen¬ticity of the reporters. Evon Z. Vogt(Whether Mr. Shomer's position isintellectually sound or not is a matterof opinion. In its editorial the Boardof Control e.rpressed only its opinion,which it continues to hold.We did not regard “conscientiousobjection" to an act of Congress as avalid excuse for violating it. On suchgrounds, one might find just causein disregarding almost any law. Wefelt that there were other, and moredesirable methods of expressing con¬scientious objection.ITc also held that Shomer's basisfur a challenge of constitutionalitywas extremely weak. In our opinion,the law makes adequate provisionsfor exempting those who in any wayobject on religious grounds, and doesnot, therefore, violate the freedom ofreligion guarantee in the Bill ofRights.Furthermore we could not see theargument that registration was tata-mount to giving approval to the Billnor to “the militarization of thiscountry." And evidently other Con-grey at ionalists throughout the countrydid not make use of the argument.—Ed.)Plan to ReviveCampus NewsreelThe reorganized Campus Newsreelwill meet tomorrow at 6 in lounge Aof the Reynolds Club.
