They Are NotStifledA Bull Session byDICK HIMMELIn the Daily Maroon editorial whichappeared yesterday morning the Dra¬matic Association was severely chas¬tised for “stifling” a noble effort,mainly the Shakrtpeare Guild’s pro¬duction of “Hamlet.” The piece shookits e<iitorial finger under DA’s noseand dashed to the defense of the per¬secuted Shakespearean Guild.The Maroon made a mistake, how¬ever. In a noble tradition they passedjudgement on an argument withoutinquiring into the “very nature ofthe thing.” This surely cannot beclear cool intellect at work.What and Why?For the editorial did not concernitself at all as to why the Guild wasshouting “persecution” or if there wasany persecution why it was. EvenMessrs. Hutchins and Adler ask whatand why.This then is the other side. TheDramatic Association itself is an un¬stifled effort. Two years ago a hand¬ful of people came to DA and said,"Look. We don’t like the plays you’reputting on. ‘The Butter and Egg Man’IS not art nor is it even good ‘ham.’We want to put on Ibsen’s ‘Ghosts’ allby ourselves. We want a free hand.We will keep productions cost low.You can stand to make a lot of mon¬ey or loose very little.” The DA mademoney and revised their set-up toexpand this “noble effort.”But the Shakespeare Guild, whichAllen Greenman rules iron-handedly,did not, in the eyes of the DA Boardseem such a noble effort, as somemembers of the cast admitted thatthey started in the show to makemoney.Profit PropositionGreeman came to DA and asked torent some equipment, including make¬up, curtains, and props. He admittedthat the constitution of the Guild pro¬vides that profits are to be dividedup among the members and so whenhe came to rent equipment DA con¬sidered the group not only as a stu¬dent activity, but also as a businessenterprise. A price was quoted forcomplete equipment. Greenman saidhe could get it cheaper. The DA boardsuggested that he do so. He did.Under normal conditions the Dra¬matic Association loans out their(Continced on page 4) VeuLa HfkihooYiVol. 41, No. 40 Z-149 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1940 Price Three CentsReds Exploit FreeColleges-GideonseDeliberate use of the free col¬leges of the city of New York as.sounding boards for Communist ac¬tivities, was charged yesterday byDoctor Harry Gideonse, presidentof Brooklyn College.Testifying before the joint legis¬lative committee investigating theNew York school system, he de¬clared he was convinced that a verysmall minority of both the facultyand student body were exploitingthe future of their college for “theirown ulterior motives.” Gideonsewas at one time a member of theSocial Science department here.Aronson AsksFor Old ClothesFriday the llJth will be a lucky dayfor South Side needy according toBud Aron.son, chairman of the Stu¬dent Settlement Board. All day mem¬bers of the Board w'ill be working hardto make a success of their annualChristmas Drive for Old Clothes.As usual, large boxes will be placedin various places for depositingclothes. Off-campus students will findboxes for their contributions in theIda Noyes lobby, Reynolds Club, Cof¬fee Shop and the traditional one in theChapel. For the students on campusboxes will be placed in every residencehall and fraternity hou.se.Repair GarmentsAfter collection, the garments willbe taken to the Settlement House tobe repaired. From the Settlement theclothing will be distributed by theregular Settlement staff to the need¬iest persons in the community.Besides the clothes boxes, smallerboxes will also be placed at variouspoints mentioned, in which to depositcoins for Settlement relief.Adler And KaltenbornLiven Round TableIf you are one of the five millionwho listen to the Round Table regu¬larly you may have wondered how theprogram is made to run as smoothlyas it does.One of the wheels in the machinery,is a set of cards, illustrated, with allmanner of captions on them. Bywaving these in front of the partici¬pants as the circumstances dictatethe program director steers the dis¬cussion clear of mechanical roughspots.Rattle EradicatorOne card, tagged the “Dean SpencerSpecial” perhaps, means, “Watch coinand key jangle.” Dean Spencer, it.seems, has the habit of rattling hiskeys and key chain as he talks. Mostwitty of all the cards is a telegramfacsimile from Emily Post reading.“Elbows on the table, please.”Etiquette is disregarded in this in¬stance to keep the speakers at a uni¬form distance from the microphone.At times the necessarily pert captionscause some amusing reactions fromthose taking part in the program.Secretary of Navy Frank Knox, forinstance, once had a card reading,“Don’t Orate,” flashed on him, whichcarries a picture of a stout, pompous,politician. Knox grinned at the requestand after the broadcast asked if theillustration was taken from one of hispictures. The director, Mr. Dryer,somewhat embarra.s.sed, assured himthat it was not.Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, a mostcooperative Round Table participant,was flashed, “Talk more ... be a mannot a mouse.” After the broadcast sheansw’ered friends congratulating hersaying, “I had to talk; Mr. Dryerkept telling me, ‘don’t be a mouse’.”Occasionally Mr. Dryer finds it nec¬essary to “play a trick” on the broad¬casters such as the one he played onProfessor Adler and H. V. Kalten-horn. When the discussion began tolag during a broadcast the directorwrote a note to Mr. Adler telling him(Continued on page 4) William Spencer. . watch it jangleLook! Santa LeavesAquinas in StockingAnd what do you want for Christ¬mas? You do! Well, you’ve got nobusiness wanting that! This accord¬ing to Mortimer Adler is not “rightdesire,” unless your insides are yearn¬ing for a brass-bound copy of eitherAristotle or St. Thomas.“Buy St. Thomas Aquinas! BuyAristotle! That’s ail we know on earthand all w-e need know.” These are thewords of Adler as he makes out hislist for Santa Claus. Adler says healways sends out a mimeographed listof books he wants for Christmas torelatives and close friends. True, heis not surprised, but he gets what hewants.Then Mr. Adler contradicts him¬self. “Give,” squeals the sage, “tnebooks you yourself would like to re¬ceive.” Schomer Released;Promises to CarryOn Anti-Draft FightIn a formal sense the “SchomerCase” ended yesterday when the gov¬ernment withdrew its complaintagainst the Reverend Mr. HowardSchomer, and United States Commis¬sioner Walker relea.sed him, but thatthe case will live on in discussions formonths to come is not to be doubted.For Mr. Schomer, in a statement is¬sued yesterday promised to continueto oppose the Conscription Act and allthat it stands for.Formal disposal of the case tookonly a few moments. The governmentprosecutor put Captain Hew Bach,Chairman of the Oak Park Registra¬tion Board, on the stand and had himtestify that the defendent had regis¬tered November 28. The governmentthen asked leave to withdraw the case,permission being granted by the Com-mi.s.sioner Mr. Schomer is now at lib¬erty to I'egister as a conscientiousobjector.

The Fascistrevolution, he declared, “can be op¬posed only by letting loose anotherkind of revolution.” “How' can we,”he asked, “fight a people with the en¬thusiasm that the German people havewith a system that everybody knowsis inadequate.”English Fascist World?“Pi’ogressive,” he said, “see now awar between the possibilities of a dem¬ocratic society and the certainty ofa Fascist one.” Although an Englishvictory might conceivably lead to aBritish speaking Fascist world, he de¬clared there could be no doubt aboutthe outcome of a German victory. Hedeclared that while the present warmay have began as an imperialistwar “the nature and character of thewar has changed tremendously.”.Against MonopolyThe national defense program, heargued, is being held up by monopolyrestrictions that “have choked oureconomic system in peace time.” “Ifwe don’t come through with an anti-monopoly program we’re licked beforewe’re started.” As examples of monop¬oly restrictions he cited the demand |of the airplane industries that the jgovernment amortize their plants and | not interfere with their profits. Mon¬opolies, he said, are following a policyof “business as usual!” They are fill¬ing private orders first because theyknow that they will alw’ays have thegovernment orders.Renaissance ClubShows Art ExhibitColored lithographs, and silk screenprints in color are being exhibited bythe Renaissance Society in GoodspeedHall from December 3 to the 18.

Both favor refusal torepeal the John.son Neutrality Act, which re¬fusal means that the United States will ceaseaiding Britain as soon as the English run outof cash. Yet one of them claims that there is,nonetheless, a basis for membership for thosewho want to continue aiding Britain.No Mere Discussion GroupThere might be some justihcation for thisstatement if the Peace Committee was to bemerely a discussion group, which would under¬take to analyze the deeper meanings of loans toBritain. His Will is Not His Own*We plead guilty to the soft impeachmentthat Master Himmel offers in his Bull Session,printed elsewhere in today’s Maroon. In fact,we were more guilty than he suspected. Wefailed even to ask Director Greenman to ex¬press his side of the case. We hope he will doso tomorrow.But we still repeat our accusation that theDramatic Association stifled student initiativeand desire to do Shakespeare. Since it was theonly organization on campus which was wellequipped and prepared to do Shakespeare, im¬petus for performing his works should havecome from within the DA. Suggestions for do¬ing Shakespeare were considered frequentlyand “carefully,” but no Shakespeare resulted.This failure to assume the iniative in such anambitious venture, meant tacit disapproval toalmost all concerned.It was quite natural, then, that a bastardgroup sprang up to supply the campus withShakespeare, DA or no.If it has served no other purpose, it hasgoaded the Dramatic Association into agreeingto perform Shakespeare. This is all that theDaily Maroon wanted, and we trust that, hav¬ing achieved a noble purpose, the Shakespear¬ean wanderers will stray back into the fold.* Hamlet, Act /, Scene 3, Line 17. E. S. L.

We feel that if Hitler wins, the UnitedStates will either have to fight or submit to aninternational reign of terror.

It is perfectlywithin a student’s province to oppose aid to theBritish, but it is not within his province to doso under the disguise of a “non-partisan PeaceCommittee,” or a “campus” Peace Committee.The University of Chicago is rarely unifiedenough in purpose for any action group to pre¬tend to represent the whole campus, and it iscertainly not unified enough on the subject ofwhether the United States should extend cred¬its to the British Empire.To avoid the charges of hypocrisy, and ofconcealing the end of the organization, thePeace Committee should come out in the openlor what it is, and stand on the merits of the ...The word beinjf kicked through Burton panels these; days is that Bob Hutchins tided to get into Chicago after. h'igh school graduation.

There are things in the lives ofpeople who write sports that are nei¬ther the cause of laughter nor lacri-mose activity. They are just unclassi-fiable.

We want to know justhow many errors are made in theaverage chess game played by Corneli¬us Groot and David Shidler.

Who wantspeace, why do they want it, and wherewill it get us? On the other hand towhom is the cry directed, who arethe “warmongers” that are endanger¬ing our precious status quo?The people who cry for peace Ithink can legitimately be divided intotwo groups. Those that think Ameri¬can participation in the war willreally endanger American democracy,and another group, not very outspok¬en as to its ultimate ends, but whoin reality hope that by American non¬intervention the “new order of things”will be hastened in this country.Who’s Coming Out on TopThere isn’t a doubt in my mind thatthe pacifists on our campus are of theformer variety. They have no ulter¬ior designs on the democratic system;they want it to thrive to serve thepurpose of social reform. But who isducking who in this little game thepacifists are playing in their littlepond. Who is going to come out ontop when its all over—Norman Thom¬as and the divinity school boys, or theflying colonel and the lying colonel.That is the question we have to facein deciding to pursue a policy ofpeace, which means incidentally oneof appeasement. I think that Americahas only one choice, and that is notto take any chances as to which ofthe pacifists will come into controlw:hen we face the dislocation, if notthe actual invasion, that will comewith a Hitler victory.We Must Act Without FearAmerica must act, and act fast,in defense of its shores as well asall that it holds dear. America hasa historic policy toward those whofight for liberty and the democraticway of life, and the policy is not oneof cowardice or fear. For over a hun¬dred years every movement for free¬dom has found aid and comfort inthe United States—La Fayette inFrance, Kossouth in Hungary, Gari¬baldi in Italy, Kerensky in Russia, thelist is almost endless.And now when all that we havestruggled for from the beginning isreally in danger, in greater dangerthan it has ever been, we are beingtold that it isn’t our battle at all, thatwe are not our brothers’ keepers.America must not let itself be mis¬guided or led astray from that whichvitally concerns it by those who meanwell, in the way of Leon Blum, or bytho.se who are awaiting the momentto knife it in the back, the FritzThyssens and the publishing tycoons.There Can be no CompromiseThe battle is ours and it must bewon; we can not shirk the initiationor shrink from the consequences.There must be no compromise. Justas Lincoln realized that our countrycould not remain half slave and halffree, and was willing to do somethingabout it; so today we must realizethat our world cannot exist half slaveand half free, and we must be willingto do something about it.This is the tradition that has beenhanded us by the forefathers. In thewords of Thaddeus Stevens, “are wetheir posterity, or are we bastards?”We must not do the same thing toBritain as some stupid and selfishBritish did to Spain. We must notlet the exploits of Clive and Rhodesblind us to the plight of labour theworld over. This time the epithet shallnot be “too little, and too late.”STOP HITLER NOW!Ski Club—(Continued from page 1)department, the Club is sponsoringsemi-weekly classes in conditioningand instruction in the Field House.Additionally the Athletic Departmentplans to build an artificial practiceslope in Stagg Field this month withice, borax, pine needles and even sandunder consideration as surfaces.Last Sunday five full car loads ofClub members drove to the Wilmot,Wisconsin region to partake of thefirst of a series of week end ski tripsthat will according to present indi¬cations become a regular feature oftheir program Mackie DiscussesRefugee ProblemsRobert C. Mackie, genial BritishI General Secretary of the World's Stu¬dent Christian Federation and emi¬nent internationalist will arrive onthe quadrangles at 9:30 Friday morn¬ing to spend the day discussing ref-j ugee problems with religious, refu-I gee-aid, and foreign relations groups,j Although they suffered the misfor-1 tune of being in France at the timeI of the German occupation, the Mackiej family, comprised of Mr. and Mrs.■ Mackie and son Steven, made good' their escape through Switzerland,I southern France, and Spain, to Portu-I gal. There they boarded the 6,600 toni liner Quanza and arrived in Newi York in June, 1940. Thus on leavej from his Geneva office, Mr. Mackie isI making a lecture tour of the United ji States and Canada. ji Well Qualified Speaker !j As a student leader, Mackie, is well iqualified to speak on student regugee jproblems. In addition to having long |been member and officer of both the |British Student Christian Movement!and the World’s Student Chri.stian iFederation, he has been a delegate atthe Amsterdam and Madras church iconferences. During the last few!I years, he has travelled extensively inI India, Japan and China, viewing inthe latter country the results of his jwork as Chairman of the Chinese Stu- ident Relief campaign in Great Brit¬ain. IMr. Mackie’s full program for theday is as follows: 'Noon—Talk to selected group of cam- |pus leaders at the home of Dean IGilkey. IStifled—(Continued from page 1)equipment without charge. But this Iis to student activities without an jeye for personal profits. IThis raises a fundamental question |in extra-curricular activities. Should :students be paid for this kind of work? jThe Dramatic Association thinks not. iIt thinks rather that these activities jare a part of an education and to the jpeople who work in them a vital partof their training.Art Second to ArtThat Greenman did not come with 'his idea to an organization which ]would have released him from the jpetty production and publicity wor-1ries of putting on a show, has hurt the jpi’oduction of Hamlet badly. But mon- |ey seemed to have had a place second ;to “art for art’s sake” in Greenman’sproposal and he was not willing tosacrifice it for art. He preferred in¬stead to do it all on his own. jThe Shakespeare should be done oncampus is felt sincerely by the Dra¬matic Association. That there is nobetter qualified group of actors to doit on campus is also believed. |But with no director, no publicity jstaff, no faculty script adviser, no jstage crew, and no feeling of financial'security it is practically impossiblefor these actors to do a job equal totheir ability. For the burden of rou¬tine jobs must fall on those whoseconcentration should be placed in theiracting jobs; they must suffer fromthe lack of a director who serves asan integrating force to the show; andthey must suffer from a badly butch¬ered script which leaves no shred ofa play but only a very good voicerecital.If any other group feels the urge ito produce “theatrical guts” let them |come to DA. This would, at least, take |all those production problems off theirweighted brows so that they may havea chance to put on a god show, in¬stead of the conspicuous waste ofgood talent exhibited so glaringly inthe Guild’s production of “Hamlet.” 4:15—Discussion with the RefugeeAid Committee at the home of DeanGilkey.5:30—Evensong at Rockefeller Mem¬orial Chapel.6:00—Speech after dinner at IdaNoyes.
