' By MARJORY GOODMAN“Facts are only ‘facts’ in relationto the context in which they areplaced. We will never get anythingout of facts without knowing theneuro-linguistic structure of them.’’That was the essence of Count AlfredKorzybski’s message to the membersof Student Forum at their annualbanquet last Thursday night.Tearing down Hutchin’s theory ofAristotelian “absolutisms’’ CountKorzybski, founder of Semantics (thescience dealing with the meaning ofwords), attempted to show how aproper evaluation of a fact is merelyrelative, how proper evaluations areessential to a successful adjustmentof life, and how theories of educationwhich teach absolutes can never pre¬pare an individual for a successful ad-ju.stment to life.Absolute Facts Don’t ExistAccording to Korzybski there is nosuch thing as a fact by itself. All factis relative to the individual’s interpre¬tation of the words used to express it.In this application of individual emo¬tion and intellect to words we havej Semantics, “the study of neuro-ling-I uistics.’’j Continuing with the point that factsj are intrinsically bound up with lang-j uage, Korzybski explained that theI greatest difficulty we face today in arriving at proper evaluations lies inthe ambiguity of the terms we use.Taking for an example the word“fast,” he showed how it may be usedas a verb to mean “diet,” or as anadjective describing either an automo¬bile or a woman, all three usages hav¬ing vastly different implications.Noises and WordsMost people today are not evenaware of the meanings of the words(Continued on page two) Holiday Decorations Fea¬tured at Season's LastDance.Flying in the face of an age-old tra¬dition and completely disregardingancient superstitions, the Daily Ma¬roon will hold its second annualChristmas Carnival on Friday, thethirteenth of December.The decorations will ignore the om¬inous note of the day and emphasizerather the spirit of the Holiday Sea¬son. Ida Noyes Gym, the scene of theaffair, will be resplendent with Christ¬mas trees, reindeer et al. Starred inthe decorations will be the huge cel¬lophane stars that will mask thelights of the gym. Bob Reynolds,placed in charge of the dance, hasplanned a unique floor show but asyet he feels that he cannot divulge itsnature.Deliberate on BandThe Carnival’s band has not beendefinitely decided as yet but accordingto Reynolds the choice has been nar¬rowed to only tw'o groups and thefinal results will be announced in thenear future.This year’s dance will be the secondin the series of Christmas Carnivals.They were initiated last year becausethe Student Social Committee feltthat there was a definite need for anall campus dance late in the quarter.David Martin, head of the last year’sBoard of Control, volunteered to havethe Maroon sponsor such a dance andthe Christmas Carnival is fast be¬coming a campus tradition.The first carnival will probably beremembered chiefly for the hugereplica of the first page of the Maroonthat decorated the wall of Ida and thefact that the mast head of the replicaappeared upside down.Courtier MakesAnother Appearance Collegium Scores Huge SuccessIn First Concert Of SeasonBy GEORGE T.

DECEMBER 3, 1940 V.Hutchison Skips a BeatRalph Cooper Hutchison, president of Washington and Jef¬ferson College, has bravely come out for subsidized football—honestly subsidized football—in an article reprinted in thismonth’s Readers' Digest.It would be a laughable article, if it didn’t come from thepresident of a University. It is laughable in its clumsy attempt torationalize football’s existence on a big time basis. It is sad becauseit shows a perverted sense of values from one in a high place.Not Physical EducationHutchison admits that football is not a part of physical ed¬ucation. He points out that men who play football almost alwaysare only well developed physically, and “need nothing so much asa good long rest.”But he then goes on to justify it on the basis of the emotionalvalue it has in unifying the student body. “Around the team andthe games,” he says, “are gathered all the enthusiasms and deeperloyalties of college life.”In the first place he forgets that in the main, it is alumni andnot students who are made “loyal” by the orgies of football today.Students, we feel, will derive their deeper loyalties from the deep¬er values that a University offers. They will center their affectionaround a University because it teaches well, because its professorshave performed outstanding works of scholarship, because it hasa tradition of intellectual greatness rather than because elevenmen have put on a good show for them each Saturday afternoonduring the fall.Ephemeral LoyaltiesIn the second place, the loyalties that are created in thebreasts of the alumni are ephemeral, and are seldom productive ofvaluable contributions to a University. But even if they were im¬portant, that still would not justify the 'crisy of Dr. Hutchi¬son in his plea for “honest subsidization.”The only excuse for subsidization is that it brings in money tothe University. Dr. Hutchison fails even to mention this reason,and instead offers a plethora of specious arguments which are in¬tended to justify his scheme.He has made an important suggestion—which is that the“dishonest subsidization subterfuges employed at most schools beeliminated.” He has pointed the way to a wrong solution, however,and his failure to offer good reasons for his solution, indicatesthat he is not intellectually convinced of the rectitude of his posi¬tion himself.Stanford's Gain ' "■ 'Traveling BazaarBy DICK HIMMEL...It’s enough to make a columnist go back to Russia.

Shag molded an eleven which not only won thetitle with nine straight victories, but cinched an invitation to par¬ticipate in the New Year’s Day Rose Bowl game.In the way he handled the Indians Shaughnessy proved whathe had already demonstrated to most people on the Midway; thathe was a superb tactician. Under his direction, Stanford outplay¬ed and outthought its rivals in every game.Inspiring ConfidenceHe also disproved a charge which had occasionally been lev¬elled against him; that he failed to inspire confidence in his men,and lacked the ability to make his men fight. For not only did theIndians outthink their nine rivals, they outfought them in everygame. And it was Shaughnessy who inspired that fight.We regretted the conditions which forced the University todrop football, although we soon came to realize the wisdom of itsmove. An imf ortant reason that w^e regretted the decision was be¬cause it meant that Shaughnessy would leave. For most of us hereliked him and admired him, not only as a master strategist and anexcellent coach, but also as a friendly, co-operative sort of manwho made the most of the skimpy material that an unsubsidizedteam provided him with, and who never complained of the compe¬tition he was forced to face under the conditions.Among all the other congratulations that descend upon thehead of any coach at the end of a successful season then, we shouldlike to add ours, a special tribute and an additional wish of goodluck in the Rose Bowl game to Clark Shaughnessy. —E.

There, youwill find proof, buried beneath a col¬umn of print, extolling the virtue ofClark Shaughnessy, one-time Marooncoach who led Stanford to the RoseBowl this year.Shaughnessy, Ward says, is a manwho “passed up what amounted to asinecure at Chicago to earn a liveli¬hood the hard way—in the competitivefield.’’ He did this. Ward says, in or¬der to be “one of hundreds of menteaching Young America that man isnot all mind’’ and to help “keep alivein the land the spirit that made thenation great, the spirit of competition,the All-American way.’’W’ard, A Tricky OneA tricky one, this Ward! One whoskims lightly over the Tribune sportspages might be fooled by his high-sounding phrases.But hidden in the last paragraph ofa seemingly innocuous, and otherwisepraiseworthy, dispatch are thesewords:“Under no circumstances do we ad¬vocate the abolition of the academicphases of university life...’’“Et Tu Brute”The next thing you know Ward will:tell the nation’s football coaches tosigrn a suicide pact (ala Mr. Adler’sadvice to the English teachers).quit calling every team his almamater.

Captain Joe Stampf, is back.Flanking Stampf, 6 feet, 4-inchcenter, the Maroon forwards probablywill be Jack Fons, a minor letterman,who is 6 feet, 3 inches; and FredShaver, a small but accurate-shoot¬ing sophomore. Veteran Chuck Wag-enberg and novice George Krakowka,a 6 feet, 2-inch player from GreatBend, N. Y., will handle the guardassignments for Chicago. Frank Sis-ka, a 6 feet, 4-inch sophomore, willback up Stampf, and Ed Nelson andDewey Norris will be on hand as re¬serve strength at forward. Guard re¬serves include Bruce Hixson, a Dart¬mouth transfer, Jim Cutshaw, MikeMcMahon, and George Wilkerson, allsophomores.Georgia Ace Opposes StampfOpposite Stampf at center for Geor¬gia will be Captain Dan Kirkland, ahusky 6 feet, 4-inch marksman with adeadly one-hand stab at the basketlisted as his chief threat.Joe Killian, also 6 feet, 4 inches, whowas high scorer in the SoutheasternConference scoring last season, will bepaired at forward for the Bulldogswith Bob Moore, who last year was areserve. Roy Chatham, a fast south¬paw ball handler, and Frank Rentz,who also is fast though small, willsee most of the action at guard.Coach Elmer Lampe’s Georgiasquad will be without the services oftwo of last year’s outstanding play¬ers, Captain Cecil Kelly, and AlexMcCaskill, all-conference guard. Chi¬cago’s losses include Captain DickLounsbury; Ralph Richardson andArt Jorgenson, regular guards; andPaul Zimmerman, flashy sophomoreforward last year, who has joined theArmy air corps.Last year’s records of the twoteams follow:Georgia 66—36 BufordGeorgia 39—24 BufordGeorgia 61—41 MercerGeorgia 62—28 ChattanoogaGeorgia 47—31 South CarolinaGeorgia 32—29 QemsonGeorgia 41—26 SewaneeGeorgia 66—45 AlbanyGeorgia 36—46 FloridaGeorgia 26—36 FloridaGeorgia 40—33 S.

The TrophyRoom of Bartlett Gymnasium is to bethe meeting place. All undergraduateswho are in good standing and whoare winners of the major “C” are in¬vited to attend.A constitution is being drafted bythe executive committee. This commit¬tee is composed of the captains of theseveral University teams. GlennPierre has been chosen chairman ofthis committee.The athletic department and stu¬dents have long felt the need of suchan organization on the quadrangles. By PHIL RIEFFThe Bible has it that as men sow so,also, shall they reap. But it is my dis¬senting opinion that Clark Shaugh¬nessy, he of rags to Stanford fame,has totally disproved of the above-mentioned bit of biblical rhetoric. Forgray, square-jawed Shag did not sow,yet has reaped, the success of the PaloAlto pigskin catacylsm.Clark Shaughnessy has been trump¬eted to the 48 comers of the nationas the footballic miracle man of theage. As a coaching “Cinderella” man.As an adult boy wonder. As a refugeefrom Aristotle who made good. Yes,Shag has made good, and to every¬one’s unbounded delight. But it is notbecause he is the super-man, compa¬rable, in modern times, only to Dr.Gallup’s Wendell Willkie, that the ad¬jective hungry sportswriters havewritten him to be.Good Material on HandShaughnessy, with all due credit tohis craftsmanship and undoubtedcoaching ability, took a team that wasalready supplied with the necessaryraw material. By introducing thepractically unknown.. .and thus un¬scouted.. .“T” formation, he garnereda daily headline in every sports pagein the nation. The “T” backfield de¬pends entirely on powerful quick¬opening plays, and demands a linethat can open yawning gaps in therival forward wall with unending con¬sistency. It demands high-steppingbacks, with blockers in front of them.It demands the kind of football thatputs all of its eggs in the offensivebasket, as witnessed by the identicalstyle of play of the Chicago Bears.Follows First Year PatternHe is priming for a Rose Bowl now. ending a most astounding and victo¬rious season as superstition has mostStanford coaches end their inauguralseason...by a trip to the Rose Bowlof gold and glory. Tiny Thornhill didit in his first year, as did a couple ofthe men prior to his regime at HerbertI Hoover’s alma mater; so it is nothingnew to old Stanford followers. It maybe just coincidence that Shaughnessyis emulating the feats of his predeces-sors, but coincidence and superstitionplay a featured role in sportsdom’scivilization.Team Makes the CoachIt is still the team that makes thecoach, and obviously Shag didn’t havethe type of man to fit his style here.I have it on good authority that evenwhen the Maroons were behind by anuncountable score. Shag was still try¬ing to tally instead of trying to holdthe score down.(Continued from column two)I ChicagoI ChicagoI Chicago; Chicago1 ChicagoChicagoj ChicagoChicagoI ChicagoChicagoChicagoChicagoChicagoChicagoChicagoChicagoChicagoChicago 31—2562—2739—4018—2033—3428—4427—4122—3233—2829—4136—4430—6218—2936—3240—4240—4233—4631—46 North CentralArmour TechUtahWisconsinIllinoisNorthwesternIowaDePaulLoyolaMarquetteOhio StatePurdueMichiganMinnesotaIndianaIllinoisMinnesotaWisconsin'> Ifs tAe... for cooler milder better taste.HRST STEP IN MAKING CHESTERRELDS...
