Our Cheek To SpeakBefore Chapel Conscription troubles for the Rev¬erend Mr. Howard Shomer were endedyesterday with the announcement ofa new ruling by the state headquar¬ters of the Illinois Selective ServiceSystem.Under the new ruling Mr. Shomermay waive the automatic exemptionaccorded him as a minister in Section5D of the conscription act and, in fill¬ing out his questionnaire as a regis¬trant, may place himself in the cat-3gory of a conscientious objeetor.As a conscientious objector theyoung minister’s case will then beruled upon the basis of Section 5G ofthe draft legislation. Because of thisnew development the scholarly assist¬ant to Dean Gilkey changed his standon registration and has already reg¬istered.Strenuous ObjectorIn a press release issued yesterday,however, Mr. Shomer reiterated hisobjections to conscription, saying: “Inaccepting this opportunity to qualifyas a conscientious objector, I must,however, make it clear that I intend 'to be a strenuous objector, workingcontinuously not only for the repealof the Selective Service Act but forthe creation of a true internationalcommunity.”Section 5G provides that if a reg¬istrant is found to be a conscientiousobjector by his local board he may.serve the government in some serviceof national importance under civiliandirection. Whether Mr. Shomer in¬tends to ask for this type of serviceor not is not yet known;Band, MusicuumGive ConcertsOn Same Daythe Worker’s Defense League ha:been organized.

Goingto aid England now, means total war.The war, he points out, will be fought troops will be slaughtered by themost powerful enemy in history at arate America is not prepared to face.Victory Not A.ssured“Even if America was willing toface huge sacrifices,” Cole continues,“victory is not assured. Major mili¬tary setbacks would probably resultin ])olitical upheaval at home and asacrifice of the democracy we werefighting for. England is not fightingour war,” Cole states further, “sheis fighting her own war. When wefight, as we eventually will have to,let us fight when and where we choose.This country with its far-flung basesis practically impregnable at thismoment.”Favors Aid to EnglandCole favors aid to England, but farshort of war. He says, “if Englandholds out, fine, if not, we will still bebetter off by fighting at a future date,when we ourselves will be a fairmatch for our enemy.”America today is not equipped mor¬ally or physically for the total warthat is necessary.

Some¬what a])ologetically, therefore, and realizingin full the extent of our impertinence, we enterinto a realm which is not jiroperly ours.Mr. Adler is ouite right when he states thatthe Thomistic attitude toward philosophy is sel¬dom heard in American Universities through¬out the United States. Very few iihilosophy de¬partments have Thomists occupying importantchairs. Even at the University of Chicago, theiractual number is only a small fragment of thenumber of pragmatists or “positivists.” Thefact that that small fragment has been verynoisy has offset its dis-advantage in numbersto a certain extent, but the fact that it has been.so noisy has at the same time prevented it frombeing completely or even substantially effective.Important ViewpointWe are not yet convinced that the teachingsof Aquinas represent the sum of all philosophi¬cal wisdom—we are, however, sure that Tho-mist philosophy is interesting and that it is im¬portant for Students to have an opportunity tolearn its principles so that they can decide forthemselves whether or not they are right ones.In order that they may learn Thomisticprinciples correctly, it is advantageous thatthey learn them from the men best ver.sed inthe philosophy of Aquinas, and most qualifiedtherefore to teach it.We can think of no one better to teach wellthe principles of the Catholic philo.sophy thanits most noted exponent today, Jacques ]\Iari-tain. We have learned that the University isinviting him to lecture here this winter and weshould like to express our mo.st fervent hopesthat he is requested to teach here permanentlywhen he fini.shes his tenure at Princeton..Academic Generosity, WisdomIn the first place, it would be an act of aca¬demic generosity to ask M. Maritain to joinour faculty. He is a man whose country’s spiritand intellectual desires are practically destroy¬ed, and who has little opportunity to offer histeachings to a responsive audience abroad.In the .second place, and more important tous, it would be an act of academic wisdom to in¬vite him to teach here, lie is a quiet, even atimid, man, but he is a pi’ofound scholar, a care¬ful lecturer, and an excellent and patient teach¬er. ‘It seems probable that he would add morelight to, and conduct more on a rational level'the Thomist side of the philosophical contro- jversy which is stirring our faculty today, thanany one who is now teaching at Chicago.We anticipate eagerly and hopefully, there¬fore, an eventual announcement of his appoint¬ment.The Council and the SFACThe Freshman Council has accepted HelenPearce’s suggestion that it aid the Student Fif¬tieth Anniversary Committee by raising fundsfrom among all the members of the freshmanclass.If it actually does exert its efforts towardhelping the SFAC, it will be offering at leasta partial answer to the savage attacks thatwere leveled at it in this column.Worthwhile?For at this time, there is probably no moreimportant function that freshmen could per¬form through an organization of their mem¬bers than to aid the University, We are notyet ready to admit that a Council for freshmenis a necessity, or even desirable. But it at leasthas a chance to prove its mettle. F. S. L. Esoterics Love ItK.soteric caucus included Tom French, really trlamor-ous.

I suppose is Mr. Zagorin, I am an individ¬ual who has seen relatively little active service in cam¬pus society. Therefore, possibly I am as little qualifiedas Mr. Zagorin to comment on something which I havehad only meagre relations with.Still, objectively, I think this can be said.The chief fault with organized social life at Chi¬cago is not with those people who have managed tobecome part of an active social structure, but withthose who rmnain on the outside, those who have notbecome associated with any of the organizations andgroups that provide egress to active society.To aecU'C certain groups on campus of snobbery,etc. appears to me, knowing many of the individuals,i to be absurd. Nothing could be less ti ue. The chief ob¬ject of criticism, the fraternities, themselves are onlyI one phase of a greater social structure on this campus,! that represented by the Student Social Committee. Itappears to me that ev- ry attempt is being made to in- 'duce as many people as possible to participate activelyin the various social functions. To make a blanket in- jdictment of “snobbery” seems baseless, knowing the ivigorous; attempts being made to make more represen¬tative participation in campus life a fact.If these attempts are not yet successful it is mainlythe fault of those who have not yet been interested, or,perhaps, conditioned into enjoying active social living.Peihaps the appeal of social activities has not beenmade attractive enough yet. Perhaps a good deal of so¬cial inhibitions are present. But certainly intentions ofdeliberate restriction are not present among those whorun activities. iTo attempt to blanketly characterize social leaderson this campus with certain pat descriptions commonlycredited to small time bouigeoises is also misrepresen¬tation. Bill Hankla and Joe Molkup, both fraternity 'men, are vociferous leaders in campus liberal .groups.Evan Vogt is a leading hand in Chape! Union. BohCrowe and Rill Westenberg have actively worked for |social reform as they saw its meaning.Blanket indictments, generalizations, and acid con¬demnations will never solve any problem. And muchshould be done to improve what social life we have, jMr. Zagorine has added nothing to the discussion. I ,suggest that more attention be devoted to this prob- ;lem. For it goes without saying that a more universal 'and rep'csentative social activitiy is a prerequisite lora happy university community. *32^liifAtwt ifaWiSaekantd£asf omTake a luxuriously soft fabric like tho COUGAR,hove it styled by Scott Borrie, Hollywood's mas¬ter designer, and the result is an ovorcoat youcan rightfully be proud of.

Since whenhas there been an accepted premisethat the publication of one’s name inthe Traveling Bazaar is undemocrat¬ic? True this campus has its share ofexhibitionists; not all of them pre¬ferring ))age 2, not all of them Greeks.However, since when has exhibition¬ism been the antithesis of democ¬racy? T. V. Smith says democracy,meaning politics, is a circus. We areall jiart of a much smaller circus andreadily admit it; however since whenhas this very fact been subversive?Some Not HypocritesThere are some of us who belong tofraternities and clubs, who are ideal¬ists, who are not hypocrite.-), who real¬ly want this country to go to war tosave England, false democracy thatshe is. ‘Mr. Perez seems to feel thatAmerica is the only democracy in theworld; is this not hypocrisy in itself?Is it not more undemocratic than in¬dulging in the luxury, and we admitthe sometimes childish luxury, of afraternity or a club? What secret so¬ciety in any state purports to be com¬pletely democratic? What college so¬ciety can exist without having certaingroups pair off to enjoy certain luxur-ie.s among themselves? What societyat all can exist without such charac¬teristics ?Firm BeliefIt is our firm belief tha. we wouldlike Mr. Perez to belong to somegroup which did not include all so¬ciety whether we went to Chicago orHeaven. Notice Harvard where thestudents of the University segregatethemselves through dramatic associa¬tions and the like. Are^not such thingsin esence more undemocratic than ac¬tual club and fraternity life whereinstudents are taught that they mustfollow the dictates of the majority andstill respect the minority? Is it notbetter for a student to have fiftyfriends with whom to interchangeideas both socially and parliamentarythan to have only five friends (as¬suming of course that he is not atHarvard and in the Hasty PuddingClub which would place him in the po¬sition of a fraternity man.) ?Racial PrejudiceMr. Perez claims that clubs and fra¬ternities foster racial prejudice. Ex¬cept in the case of Kappa Alpha Psiwhere the majority vote was adheredto in a perfectly democratic way, howcan this be maintained? True, fewmembers of these organizations haveclose friends who are negro except ofcourse Mr. Perez. This is sadly anoverlooked opportunity on their part.But it is a purely individual matter.In an aggregate 60 some years of lifewe have never known a case where aman’s friends were chosen for him byothers. The argument is absurd.Reactionary ColumnistThe reactionary columnist appar¬ently has abhorrent fear of any twopersons or a group of persons agree¬ing on any subject, and when such anagreement has been reached it au¬tomatically becomes an indoctrinatedidea in the stereotyped minds of thosewho agree. This, more clearly thanany other statement of the great in¬dividualist reveals his lack of informa¬tion and his lack of information on thesubject. Because we as a group, hap¬pen to be in complete agreement uponcertain things as to their morality andtheir immorality, their benefits andtheir detriments, their value in the ex¬isting world is certainly no reasonwhatsoever to attribute to us the de¬velopment of stereotyped minds. Infact just the opposite holds true.There is so much disagreementamong and within fraternities uponcontroversial subjects that he whostates that the fraternity creates onlya stereotyped mind must either be ig¬norant or dishonest; ignorant becausehad he taken the trouble to observeand investigate the various character¬istics which make up a fraternityman, he would not be able to arrive atsuch an erroneous conclusion; dishon¬est becaues if he criticizes that whichhe has not investigated, he is emo¬tional and not logical and thereforespeaks of that about which he knowsnothing.Our conclusion is that democracy ispeachy and so are clubs and fraterni¬ties. Tax Authorities \To Hold Confab jiA conference on current problems !of tax barriers block’ng interstate andinternational trade, will be held at the SPalmer House December 2 and 3.

Here is a unit selected from the nation’sbest, built with an eye to both team power and individual brilliance.No linemen of the caliber of a Stydahar, a Mel Hein, or a Harry Smithhave crashed into the spotlight this fall; from coast to coast backs have domi¬nated the football picture. Crushers, passers, broken-field aces—1940’s starsinclude some of the finest backs in football history.Rankin of PurdueEnds: Outstanding flanker was fastfiery Captain Dave Rankin of Pur¬due. With ideal physical qualifications,the rangy Boilermaker combined thefight and spirit of a thoroughbred.Michigan’s Ed Frutig at the otherpost will be eyed askance by manygrid pickers, but let them name a bet¬ter college end. Overshadowed by thecolorful Harmon, the Wolverine flashplayed superbly all year, patrollinghis flank with devastating efficiency.Pannell Gets CallTackles: Mountainous, pile-driving,rip-snorting Erny Pannell of the un¬defeated Texas Aggies gets the callover teammate “Chip” Routt as theoutstanding lineman of the South. W’ereturn to the Big Ten to name lumber¬ing Alf Bauman of Northwestern.Undoubtedly the best in the Confer¬ence, the Wildcat bulwark playedmurderous ball, crashing three-meninterference and spilling the toughestball-carriers. His particularly note¬worthy performance was againstNotre Dame where he wrecked theIrish attack.Guards and CentersGuards: “The Trojan Horse,” bur¬ly Ben Sohn of Southern Cal is ourguard of the year. Hardened by hisseason of tough experience as runningmate of famed Harry Smith, the 225pound Californian came through likea champion this year. N. U.’s hard-charging Joe Lokanc noses out a hostof candidates for the other position.Center: Francis Wallace wasslightly offside in picking Don Scottas back of the year, but he chose awinner in his lineman: Rudy Muchaof the vaunted Washington Huskies.Mighty Rudy, late of Fenger High,got off to a bad start in the Minne¬sota debacle, but went on to prov^himself the country’s outstandingcenter.Matuszczak NominatedQuarterback: Square-built WaltMatuszczak of Cornell’s splendid BigRed gets our nomination, barely beat¬ing Forrest Evashevski. As demonia¬cal a blocker as the Wolverine power¬house, the muscular, cool-headed Itha¬can is the smartest signal-caller in theEast. This choice was a particularlytough one that might have gone eitherway.Halfbacks: Who can dispute Ter¬rible Tommy Harmon’s right to thehonorary title: Back of the year?Amazingly skilled at all types of play,versatile Tommy is an ideal triplethreat back, running, passing, punt¬ing, and even blocking with equalaplomb. Minnesota’s pride, GeorgeFranck gets the other half, handsdown. A gallant team player, Franckwas at his best when the heat was on.Perhaps the outstanding play of theyear was his amazing tackle of All-Coast halfback Dean McAdams, whenFranck, as Gopher safety-man,charged headlong into the speedingHuskie and Mucha, his blocker, blast¬ing them both off the field, knockinghimself unconscious, and saving Min¬nesota from certain defeat.Fullback: Another tough choice.Milt Piepul of the Irish, Navy’s BillBusik, and 220 pound Norman Stand-lee of Stanford’s Indians certainlymerit consideration, but the actualchoice goes to limber-legged, pugna¬cious, bruising John Kimbrough, Cap¬tain of the amazing Aggies.Sport BriefsCaptains MeetWith AndersonThe captains of the various Uni¬versity teams met with Coach Ander¬son at noon yesterday. It is plannedto start an active C-Club on campus.Another meeting has been called forthe Bartlett Trophy Room at noontoday.North StandRink OpenThe University’s skating rink underthe North Stand of Stagg Field hasagain been opened for students, fac¬ulty members, and employees. Identi¬fication tickets may be obtained freeof charge at the Bartlett office. A flagshowing a white circle on a Maroonbackground will wave over the NorthStand on skating days. Skaters areasked to enter Stagg Field by way6f Bartlett Gymnasium. George Franck, . . Gopher All-AmericanBy The Orderof theSecond GuessIce and snow blanket the quadran¬gles and their sight bring to mindwinter with its innumerable sports—skating, skiing, or ice boating.Of course, basketball is King of theWinter sports, but it’s an indoor gameand comes under the social heading of“passive recreation.”The otherg, need we tell you, arethe real winter sports—the ones thatgive you rosy cheeks and help theFoster girls retain their schoolgirlcomplexions. And, Chicago students'are fortunate in having the co-opera- jtion of the Chicago Park district and ,the university athletic department in \providing numerous opportunities toengage in this healthy, active recrea¬tion.The park district provides skatingfacilities across the street from IdaNoyes on the Midway plaisance, at59th and Woodlawn. And the univer¬sity athletic department has a skatingrink beneath the west stands at Staggfield. Your ticket: the magic tuitionreceipt.Ice Boating NixedFor ice boating, well, unfortunately,the much-discussed plan of digging a |lake in the quadrangle circle duringthe winter months has g.w.t.w., butthe boat addicts can use the facili¬ties afforded by Lake Michigan andthe Botany pond—if Mr. Flook ap¬proves.Now comes skiing—ah, the sport of jthe Nordics and Alps. Several ski |slides stand in the Chicago forest pre- jserves, but the S.R.O. sign is out near-'ly every day and night of the winterseason.When football was abolished lastyear, someone asked what was goingto become of Stagg field. A movementwas started for construction of aski field on the same ground which JayBerwanger dashed across four yearsago to thrill thousands. Talk is cheap,but a ski slide is expensive. Result:Stagg field still is minus the plusquantity of a ski slide..\iiti-Ski Slide Groups WailOf course, several anti-ski slidegroups, including, it is rumored, thecommunists (who say a ski slide isaristocratic) claim that only about 1per cent of the student body knowshow to ski. To which is raised thelogical question (logical, by defini¬tion): “Why couldn’t the others learnhow to ski?”Imagine a night of skiing with theHutchinses instead of discussing thelatest B.M.O.C. deal over a glass ofbrew with Dick Salzman at the PsiU house? Yes, imagine. Ski Club Plans InstructionsFor Remainder Of QuarterRehashMaroon6-Man All StarSelectionsOur All-Star choices of yesterdaybrought about quite a variety of com¬ments at yesterday afternoon’s meet¬ing of the six-man players withCoaches Anderson, Derr, and AthleticDirector Metcalfe.In case there were any misreadingsof yesterday’s story, we want to makeit clear that Coach Anderson had nopart in choosing our All-Star team.It was a purely personal matter andhe should not be blamed for the con¬glomeration.Most asked question was: Why wasLou Cooperrider left out of the back-field? We don’t care to answer anyquestions ‘on omissions because ev¬eryone has different opinions and adecision could never be reached.No Most Valuable ChoiceCoach Derr had previously plannedfor the players to choose an All-Starteam at the meeting. Due to the earl¬ier choice by the Maroon and due tocustom, the players did not choosetheir own All-Star team. The playersalso decline<i to have each team choosea most valuable player.It was decided to consider theschedule completed without declaringan official champion. The Red Devilsare on top of the league if the disputedgame with the Gophers is discounted. The University of Chicago SkiClub met Wednesday and laid plansfor an active future. Meetings will beheld in Ida Noyes at 3:30 every Tues¬day and Thursday. If the snow con¬tinues, daily meetings for practicepurposes will be held. In case of diyweather, the club will have dry skiingon sand or pine needles.Oscar GrahamAt present a small ski slide is beingbuilt on Stagg Field. Construction onthe slide began some time ago but washeld up by the snow storms. It ishoped that the slide will be availablefor use with the next snow. Mainpurpose of the slide will be as a prac¬ tice ground for beginners. OscarGraham, a graduate student in theUniversity, will coach the beginners.He is well qualified for the position^having had skiing experience as umember of the Swiss army.Inter-coIIegiate CompetitionThere is high degree of possibilitythat inter-collegiate competition inskiing will be held this winter. LastNovember Bob Howard, of the skiclub attended a meeting of the Mid¬western Intercollegiate Ski Unionwith the Universities of Minnesotaand Wisconsin and other schools. Com¬petition would not be in the Big Tenbut would also be open to other col¬leges and Universities.HnnOKERCHIEF TEST PltOVe§VITRI ZOnE HLUIRVS SPOTIESSAlways clean and freefrom goo no matterhow often you smokeit.
