He wasawarded this injunction.While in New York, Patrillo calledBarnet back to talk things over.“Bill-Board,” theatrical magazine, re¬ports that Patrillo and Barnet arecoming to a “gentleman’s agreement.” Purdue defeated Chicago in a de¬bate in Law North yesterday on thetopic, “Resolved: That the Powers ofthe Federal Government Should BeIncreased.” Angelo Geocaris and Jos¬eph Kahl of the Student Forum rep¬resented" the University and MackWhite and Dick Springgate of Pur¬due opposed them. The Maroonmensupported the affirmative side of thequestion.Main points of the arguments in¬cluded the regulation of corporations,marriage and divorce laws in differentstates, wages and hours, and the na¬tionalization of the qualifications ofvoters.Angelo GeocarisPart of the argument of AngeloGeocaris ran as follows— . thenationalization of the qualifications ofvoters is absolutely necessary if de¬mocracy is to survive, since presentlaws permit southern states to dis¬franchise over 4,000,000 voters, mostof them being negroes, through suchmethods as the poll tax, propertyqualifications and literacy tests.”The opposition replied that a changein the voting laws would not makemany of the Southern negroes vote.Geocaris retorted that the changewould not make the negroes vote, butI that it would give them the democrat¬ic privilege to vote if they chose todo so, something which they cannotnow do.In the discussion of the marriageand divorce laws, Joseph Kahl said,'“The differences between the states |concerning marriage and divorce!laws has permitted such practices as !quick marriages by riding to Crown IPoint, Indiana, any time of the day ornight”.Mack White of the opposition an¬swered that different parts of thecountry have different creeds, andthat therefore the question of mor¬ality is a local one. The Ellis Cooperative is completingarrangements to rent what was for¬merly the Sigma Chi fraternity hou.seat 5711 Woodlawn and start a new eat¬ing and housing cooperative for Uni¬versity women. The downstairs sec¬tion of the building will be used forserving meals to both men and wom¬en; the rooms upstairs will comprisethe women’s cooperative.A committee headed by Sara Rich¬man is in charge of the project.Among those working on the commit¬tee are Ruth Vogl, Ruth Berman, JoeLevinger, George Blackwood, JulianLorenz, Charles Vogl, Elizabeth Wal¬lenstein, Bill Speck, and Stanley Dyb-vig. Because of the unusual impor¬tance of the expansion plans. BillSpeck, president of the co-op has call¬ed a meeting 6f all the members ofthe co-op for betAVeen 6:30 and 7 to¬night. This is the first meeting of theentire co-op membership that has beencalled since the organization adopteda systtnn of representative govern¬ment at the beginning of last year.Still Six VacanciesNext week tables will be set up inMandel Hall for the purpose of con¬tacting members for the new eatingcooperative. There are also 6 vacan¬cies still open for rooms. The rentalwill probably be from $10 to $12 permonth, and $4.53 for board. An in¬tensive publicity campaign to securemembers for the new eating co-op isbeing planned. Anyone interested injoining either of the new co-opsshould call Bill Speck at HitchcockHall, or Ruth Berman at Blake Hall.Until they become well established,the new co-ops will ,be affiliated withand directed from the already estab¬lished Ellis cooperative at 5568 Ellis.Avenue.Movement Has GrownIn the past few years, the coopera¬tive movement has grown fairly rap¬idly on campus.

We Think Not.Maybe there w'as some truth in the state¬ments that w’ere contained in the exciting bullsession on the front page of yesterday’s Maroon.From the number of apologists who im¬mediately sprang up to answer Zagorin’scharges, one could not avoid the impressionthat everything was not as it should be, thatthere were some important problems which fhe icampus had failed to solve.We should like to devote this editorial, then,'first to explaining the bull session, and second |to answering it, thereby discovering how true |it is. IContribution Solicited IIn the first place, “Campus Society is Rot¬ten” was not written by a loud-mouthed young'misogynist, who voluntarily and peremptorily |demanded that the Maroon publish his ravings.,Zagorin expressed these same convictions to ;the Maroon editors occasionally, and often ac-cused us of being subservient to the administra-!tion. When we rebelled against this, and as¬serted our complete mental independence, he!asked us what would happen if articles whichattacked the administration, the ideals that thecampus generally holds, and many of the socialand political institutions of the country ap¬peared in our columns. We told him that noth¬ing '*.t all would happen to us, that his articles |would be read with the attention they merited, |and we especially invited him to contribute 1a regular column to us expressing his dissent.Subject to AttackNow we should like to attack the statementshe made, point by point.In the first place, we too regret the raceprejudice that excludes negroes from the Inter¬fraternity Council. But, we point out that fra¬ternity men are not the only ones with anti¬democratic biases, and we add that fraternitymen at the University of Chicago tend to befreer from those prejudices than the vast ma¬jority of American citizens. True, the fraterni¬ties do not lead in establishing equal relationsamong various different groups.Perhaps that function should be added tothe ones they already have. But fraternitiesmake no claims to do anything other than toestablish a common set of entertainment de¬vices and loyalties among those with similarinterests. Insofar as they are prejudiced, theymerely reflect existing prejudices, just as thegreat majority of independent students. Be¬cause it is not their function to effect social re¬form, they do not generally devote much at¬tention to it. But they are not especially guiltysimply because they are fraternity men.Conformity? Not NecessarilySecondly it is not necessarily true that fra¬ternities sponsor a stereotyped kind of thinkingon the part of their members. Those men whohave enough independence of character to dotheir own thinking, will do it whether they arein a fraternity or not. And those who have thekind of minds which causes them to desire toconform will have the prejudices and biases oftheir society just as much as if they are inde¬pendents.In the third place, the Maroon makes noattempt to either encourage or discourage thefraternity system. Insofar as people are inter¬ested in it, it makes news. And insofar as it isnews, we will publicize it. But we feel that if itis a good system, it will survive without ouraid, and if it is bad, we do not need to help killit—the men who are in it and eventually alumni will realize its failure, and it will collapse spon¬taneously.It serves you rightWe certainly do cater to fraternity men andclub women, just as we attempt to cater to thetastes of all our readers. Fraternities and clubsconstitute an important part of our circulation,and their members participate importantly inthe extra-curricular activities which are a chiefsource of Maroon news. We do now, and intendin the future, to publish news which is of in¬terest to them. We intend also to try to caterto independents, undergraduates and gradu¬ates, and to faculty members.Better than AverageYes, there was some truth in the very sin¬cere Mr. Zagorin’s remarks. It is undeniablytrue that the ideal of democracy has been im¬perfectly realized in America. But we shouldlike to point out to our Bull Session contributorthat fraternity men and the rest of the studentbody at the University of Chicago are freerfrom the prejudices that make democracy onlya partial reality than are students at otherUniversities, and certainly they are more toler¬ant than are the majority of Americans.The Traveling BazaarBy DICK HIMMELThe Saga of RathjeFlash!

But, Iiis you perhaps know, a larpe drop,falling from a nozzle, is regularly fol¬lowed by one or more tiny satellite |(iioi)lets which chase it downward and :add themselves to the liquid commo¬tion on landing. This note to you isjust such a droplet.The c.xcuse for it is that I chancedto he rereading an essay of ThomasHuxley, written in 1886 on “Scienceand Morals”, which was by way of be¬ing a reply to an article by a Mr. Lillyin volume 40 of the Fortnightly Re¬view, 1886, on “Materialism and Mor¬ality”. I had so much fun chucklingover a compari.son of the two melo¬dramas—that of half a century ago,and the one just enacting—and overthe realization that any resemblancebetween the characters (and issues)living and dead is by no means purely :coincidental, that I pass it on to youand your readers in the hope that youwill enjoy it likewise. The following(piotations and connecting commentsvpeak for themselves. I‘■.\fter the manner of a mediaevaldisputant, Mr. Lilly posts up threetheses, which, as he conceives, embody 'the chief heresies propagated by the tlate Professor Clifford, Mr. Herbert'.8p( ncer, and myself. He says that we |agree ‘(1) in putting aside, as un-vei ifiable, everything which the sensescannot verify; (2) everything beyondthe bounds of physical science; (3)everything which cannot be broughtinto a laboratory and dealt with chem¬ically’ ”.The next half-dozen pages carefullyanalyze the meaning of these threeassertions and the meaninglessness ofdepending on them as criteria of ascientists’s position.I“So much for the three theses which '•Mr. Lilly has nailed on to the page of |this Review. I think I have shown that jthe first is inaccurate, that the secondIs inaccurate, and that the third is in- :accurate; and that these three inac-,curates constitute one prodigious,though I doubt not unintentional, mis- irepresentation. If Mr Lilly and I weredialetic gladiators, fighting in thearena of the “Fortnightly,” under theeye of an editorial lanista, for the de¬lectation of the public, my best tac¬tics would now be to leave the field of ibattle. P’or the question whether I do,or do not, hold certain opinions is amatter of fact, with regard to whichmy evidence is likely to be regarded asconclusive—at least until such time asthe telepathy of the unconscious ismore generally recognized.”Huxley does, however, continue thediscussion because the importance ofother topics, brought up by Lilly,seems to him to demand it.“. . . . I repudiate, as philosoph¬ical error, the doctrine of Materialismas 1 understand it, just as I repudiatethe doctrine of Spiritualism as Mr.Lilly presents it, and my reason forthus doing is, in both cases, the same;namely, that, whatever their differ¬ences, Materialists and Spiritualistsagree in making very positive asser¬tions about matters of which I amCertain I know nothing, and aboutwhich I believe they are, in truth, justas ignorant. And further, that, evenwhen their assertions are confined totopics which lie within the range ofmy faculties, they often appear to meto be in the wrong. And there is yetanother reason for objecting to beidentified with either of these sects;and that is that each is extremelyfond of attributing to the other byway of reproach, conclusions whichare the property of neither, thoughthey infallibly flow from the logicaldevelopment of the first principles ofboth ” ,“Tolerably early in life I discoveredthat one of the unpardonable sins, inthe eyes of most people, is for a manto presume to go about unlabelled.The world regards such a person asthe police to do an unmuzzled dog, notunder proper control. I could find nolable that would suit me, so, in mydesire to range myself and be re-^^pectable, I invented one; and, as thechief thing I was sure of was that Idid not know a great many thingsthat the —ists and the —ites aboutme professed to be familiar with, Icalled myself an Agnostic.”Another half-dozen pages of anal- Ralph Gerard “Are We Civilized?” in this day!when great nations revert to sports 'of the Dark Ages, the question calls jfor some thought. A moving picture |called “Are We Civilized?” will be;shown at the Studio theater. Van |Buren at Michigan starting Tuesday.'An added attraction will be “Captain !Moonlight”. ISociety—(Continued from page one)age old argumentysis, and then: “The truth is, that inhis zeal to paint ‘materialism’, inlarge letters, on everything he dis¬likes, Mr. Lilly forget.s a very im¬portant fact, which, however, must bepatent to every one who has paid at¬tention to the history of humanthought; and that fact is, that everyone of the speculative difficultieswhich beset Kant’s three problems,the existence of a Deity, the freedomof the will, and immortality, existedages before anything that can be call¬ed physical science, and would con¬tinue to exist if modern physical sci¬ence were swept away. All that phys¬ical science has done has been tomake, as it were, visible and tangiblesome difficulties that formerly weremore hard for apprehension. More¬over, these difficulties exist just asmuch on the hypothesis of Idealism ason that of Materialism ”“Thus, when Mr. Lilly, like anotherSolomon Eagle, goes about proclaim¬ing ‘Woe to this wicked city,’ and de¬nouncing physical science as the evilgenius of modern days—mother ofmaterialism, and fatalism, and allsorts of other condemnable isms—Iventure to beg him to lay the blameon the right shoulders; or, at least, toput in the dock, along with Science,those sinful sisters of hers. Philos¬ophy and Theology, who, being somuch older, should have known betterthan the poor Cinderella of the schoolsand universities over which they haveso long dominated. No doubt modernsociety is diseased enough; but thenit does not differ from older civiliza¬tion in that respect ”“Cinderella is modestly conscious ofher ignorance of these high matters.She lights the fire, sweeps the house,and provides the dinner; and is re¬warded by being told that she is abase creature, devoted to low and ma¬terial interests. But in her garret shehas fairy visioTis out of the ken of thepair of shrews who are quarrellingdown stairs. She sees the order whichpervades the seeming disorder of theworld; the great drama of evolution,with its full share of pity and terror,but also with abundant goodness andbeauty, unrolls itself before her eyes;and she learns, in her heart of hearts,the lesson, that the foundation ofmorality is to have done, once and forall, with lying; to give up pretendingto believe that for which there is noevidence, and repeating unintelligiblepropositions about things beyond thepossibilities of knowledge.She knows that the safety of mor¬ality lies neither in the adoption ofthis or that philosophical speculation,or this or that theological creed, butin a real and living belief in that fixedorder of nature which sends socialdisorganization upon the track of im¬morality, as surely as it sends phys¬ical disease after physical trespasses.And of that firm and lively faith it isher high mission to be the priestess.”R. W. Gerard. bids to seven outstanding independ¬ents for the Interfraternity Ball atleast shows that a nucleus has beenformed around which can be built anever enlarging sphere of understand¬ing between these two groups.Attack on Maroon UnfoundedThe attack of Perez Zagorin uponthe Daily Maroon is definitely un¬founded. Every effort has been madeby the Board of Control to give equalrepresentation to the various under¬graduate groups. And the Bazaar it¬self, so bitterly attacked as an egobuilder for the fraternities and clubs,even yesterday was written by theindependent’s most prominent man,Allan Dreyfuss, though it is admittedthat it is discouraging to find Drey¬fuss devoting his entire column to fra¬ternity dribble.Another article appearing in thissame issue supports the Maroon. Inan article concerning the free trip tothe Mardi Gras, John Bex, BusinessManager of the Maroon is quoted asexpressing his desire to see an inde¬pendent be sent this year. It is hon¬estly believed that fraternities andclubs would like to see this happen al¬so.Zagorin MisunderstandsThe bitter attack made by Zagorinupon the fraternity and club systemstating that “they represent the worstevil in college life” is based upon mis¬understanding and is not supported byfact or reasons. Man, besides being arational animal, is also a social animaland has an instinctive tendency toform into social groups. Unfortunate¬ly the full purposes of these groupsin college cannot be understood bynon-members.. .and unfortunate alsois the fact that such college groupsare also expensive. Such factors keepmany persons outside these groupsbut do not prevent them from formingtheir own social groups in their ownway. And if this were done thesegroups of independents would findthat they would have the same desirefor achievement and perfection of ac¬tivity as is now present in fraternaland club groups.To the attack that the Greek systemfosters intellectual slothfulness,“studies slightly.. .and induces com¬plete indifference to the world’s prob¬lems” I offer these arguments. (1)that the scholastic standing of fra¬ternity men is, on the average, higherthan the University average, and (2)that Dean Laing at a recent luncheongave full credit for the origin of the(Jniver;,ity Alumni School to a fra¬ternity at the University of Chicago,who for the past 18 years has held anannual alumni seminar together withthe active chapter in order to betteracquaint themselves with the prob¬lems of the world and how to facethem.My last and strongest plea wouldbe that independents, fraternities andclubs spend less time in attemptingto justify their own positions and de¬vote more time and thought in an ef¬fort to intigrate their activities so asto unify, coordinate and harmonizethe Various undergraduate activitiesthat are now being carried on.Korzybski SpeaksAt Student ForumCount Alfred Korzybski, Semanticsauthority, will speak at the StudentForum Dinner tonight at 6 in theCoffee Shop, not on Friday as waspreviously printed.

They are: Bob Mathews,Frank Lynch, Bud Lifton, Art Lopat-ka, Dick Levin, Chuck Wasrprenberg:,and Nick Parisi.Freshmen StarsTwo members of the Elites, Univer¬sity champions and three from PhiGamma Delta, Runnerup. head thelist of individual stars. Johnny Jorj?-enson and Bob Smidl, Freshmen sen¬sations who startled the leajrue withtheir spectacular passing and run¬ning, carried the burden of the Eliteattack capably all year. Their feat inleading their team to victorj' is es¬pecially remarkable because neitherhas played previously in the Univer¬sity League.The three Phi Gam stars, Lopat-ka, Allan Wisely, and Armand Don-ian, are well-known to followers ofthe Touchball race. Their superblycoordinated play made the Phi Gamsgreat, for with so many threats inthe game at one time, opposition couldnever afford to relax. Although thesethree men are all-around stars, Don-ian is at his best pitching long passes.Phi Delts ChosenWarren Lorenz, speedy Deke star,and elusive Bev Wilcox of Phi DeltaTheta complete the first team. Lor¬enz’s remarkable ability at coveringenemy receivers and interceptingaerials was a big factor in the DKEdrive. The swivel-hipped Wilcox turn¬ed in many spectacular broken-fieldruns to mark him as a formidable of¬fensive threat on a stand-out team.Fred Shaver, the Elite end whocaught the game-breaking pass in theFinals against Phi Gam, heads theSecond Team. Two Alpha Delts, WallyOttomeyer and Carl Nohl, and twoAristotelians, Bob Lifton and BillFeldman, four offensive aces, give theoutfit plenty of power.

Maroon Correspondent PicksSix-Man All-Star SquadsBy WERNER BAUMThis afternoon at 3:45 there will be a meeting of all six-man footballplayers with Coach Derr. At this time a decision as to the future of theleague-race will be made. At present the Gophers and Red Devils are tiedlor the lead.It is improbable that the schedule will be concluded as the players areout of condition due to the long lay-off. It is expected that no officijii championwill be declared and that some kind of an award will be made to all compet¬itors. Sweaters have been mentioned as an appropriate award.All-Star ChoicesThis being the end of the season we should like to make some commentsand announce our choice for an All-Star team.As Coach Anderson announced at the beginning of the season, three ofthe teams were fairly evenly matched. The Gophers, Red Devils and Un-expecteds all had a good chance to come out on top. There were many individ¬ual stars. It is hai'd to pick a so-called All-Star team but here is our choice:Julian Levin.sonFred KochEd CooperridersBob Stein Gymnasts HitBy InjuriesCoach Dan Hoffers’ gymnastic teammay well have a chronic sorrow' ontheir muscled shoulders before the ac¬tual bar and flying ring season hasstarted, for Earl Shanken, one half ofwhat last years Cap and Gown calledthe “twin freshmen sensations of1939“ has aggravated the old w'rist in¬jury to his right limb and is back intape again.Just how well Earl’s w'rist can healmay spell the difference between aspot at the head of the conference andone in the middle.

UnexpectedsUnexpectedsGophersRed DevilsGophersUnexpectedsEncounteredThere were only two points on whichreal difficulty was met in picking theseteams. At end Bob Gruhn had to begiven preference over Jim Cutshaw ofthe Unexpecteds because Cutshaw didnot appear in enough games. BobReynolds might have made the firstteam if he had played more. In thebackfield a decision between ConnieKontos and Lou Cooperrider was diffi¬cult. Codperrider may not have beenappreciated because he was overshad¬owed by Duke Harlan, who, withoutquestion, w'as the best line runner inthe league. No one could equal BobStein in passing ability nor JulianLevin.son in ability as a receiver.Poor OfficiatingIn general, there is only one com¬plaint. That is the officiating. Ofcourse, this was the first time thegame was played here and much newinterpretation of rules was necessary.This, how'ever, does not completely ex¬cuse the poor officiating. There wastoo much controversy over many de¬cisions and two games, one of which, W'as to determine the champion, hadI to be protested..\11 in all though, everyone connect-I ed with the league had a good time.I Probably more players competed thanwould have been out for 11-man foot¬ball. We hope, that no matter whatI decision is reached this afternoon,everyone will be happy. And best ofall, there weren’t any alumni who hadto foot room and board bHls for thefootball players.

By way of joining this parade we have asked some of the boyswho have played both games to make comments and say what they think.Jack Fitzgerald: “11-man football is the better game. It involves morefootball techni(iue such as blocking. Six-man football has a higher elementof luck and is a much faster, harder, and more tiring game.” Jack is nowplaying with the Unexpecteds. He played on the 11-man freshman team atthis University last year.Duke Harlan: “There is more action for the individual player in six-manfootball. It is more of a spectator game because there is less mass play. Forthis type of a University, six-man football is a good game because more mencan play and get the benefits.” Duke is a member of the Red Devil team. Heplayed three years of varsity 11-man football at Knox College.Bauman Claims Its FunJohn Bauman: “Six-man football isjust fun. There are no letters to workfor. 11-man is a better game if com¬petition is provided.” John plays withthe Gophers and played football atCalumet High School.Jim Willott: “A line-man has nochance to show his blocking ability insix-man football. Action is better msix-man football but 11-man is moreexerting for a line-man.” Jim, a mem¬ber of the Unexpecteds, played foot¬ ball at the Monrovia High School inArcadia, Cal.Bean SpeaksBob Bean: “Speaking as a back-field man, 11-man football is the bet¬ter game. The six-man game is hard¬er on the backfield man. It is faster,more tiring, and the player can’t loaffor a minute.” Bob also plays with theUnexpecteds. He played the 11-mangame at the James Rhodes HighSchool in Cleveland.
