All ses¬sions of the convention will be heldat the Palmer House in Chicago.A major portion of the conventionwill deal with preparedness and rela¬tionships between the United Statesand Latin America.

Becker, associate profes¬sor of dermatology at the Universitysaid in a lecture given Wednesday atthe Palmer House before the thirdannual meeting of the AmericanAcademy of Dermatology and Syphi-lology.The four-day conference, held coin¬cident with the University’s fiftiethanniversary celebration, closed today.It was attended by skin specialistsfrom all parts of the United States.A Popular MisconceptionIt is a popular misconception. Dr.Becker said, that athlete’s foot is inall cases caused by a fungus infectionof the skin of the toes. Recent medi¬cal research at the University of Chi¬cago indicates that the disease maybe due to nervous exhaustion and ina¬bility to relax properly, he reported.An examination. Dr. Becker said,of thirty primary school children de¬nied the use of the school swimmingpool because of athlete’s foot, revealeda fungus growth in only one instance.A later examination of ninety-threeadults suffering from athlete’s footshowed a percentage of only 30 percent who had actual fungus infec¬tions.Although the exact cause of thenon-fungus type of athlete’s foot isnot known. Dr. Becker said, there areindications that it is correlated withthe patient’s inability to relax. In theob.served cases of actual fungusgrowth, the patients had a normalsense of fatigue and ability to rest.In observed cases of the non-fungusathlete’s foot, the patients were of therestless, high strung type who “neverget tired,” he reported. WomanStudentStruck;Stagg Lunch RobbedUniversity Employee FracturesArm as She Escapes PurseSnatcher on 61st StreetLeaving a lacerated head, a fractured arm, and a rifled store,a minor crime wave swept the University neighborhood last Tues¬day night.Hardest hit of the victims was Gladys Gerner a graduatestudent in botany who was struck over the head several timeswith a sharp instrument when she resisted robbery on the cornerof 56th and Ellis Avenue at approximately 12:30 Wednesdaymorning.Phi Beta KappaInitiates 18On QuadranglesDean George Works announced yes¬terday that on December 16, some 18University men and women will beinitiated into Phi Beta Kappa.Candidates elected from the Biologi¬cal Science division are Arthur Par-melee, Jr., Charles Pfeiffer, and Hen¬ry Wallbrunn. From the HumanitiesDivision Viola Farmakis, Ralph Gold-ner, John Lacey, Florence Samuels,and Eugenie Wolf have been chosen.Thomas Brill, Chester Feldman, JulianGoldsmith, Melvin Gottlieb, John Pun-derson, and Kenneth Wilzbach wereselected by the Division of PhysicalSciences. Chosen by the Division ofthe Social Sciences were Sherwyn aEhrlich, James Engle, and FredGross. Norton Come has been selectedby the Law School. Although Miss Gemer screamedwhen she saw the man approach, bythe time help arrived her assailant,a young negro, had struck her andmade off with her purse. She wa.jtaken to Billings Hospital for medicalattention where it was necessary totake seven stitches in her head.Condition Not SeriousAccording to Dr. Ruth E. Taylorher condition is not serious. She isbeing kept in the hospital for a fewdays in order to make certain that shehas suffered no internal injuries, butno complications are expected.-Back issues show-Militarism RampantOn 1917 QuadranglesBy CRAIG LEMAN Corps held its first drill in the Rey-Home defense units.

The robberywas evidently an “inside job” since ayoung negro who had been employedas a dishwasher for the past weekreported for v>roik yesterday morningshowing the effects of intoxicationand with a stolen watch in his pocket.Either he or an accomplice had openedrear window, entered and ran¬sacked the office and escaped with$25, the watch, and a supply of cigar¬ettes. Upon the discovery of the watchhe was immediately apprehended.Suspected of Both CrimesThe police when questioned refusedto reveal the name of the suspect sincehe has not yet been booked. Becauseof the proximity of the two crimesand because he resembles Miss Gem-er’s description of her assailant, thepolice said that they suspect him ofcommitting both crimes.Maroon Believes In Santa;Seeks Him Out For CarnivalHaving succeeded in finally .secur¬ing presents lor all those who will re¬ceive them as part of the floor showof the Maroon’s Christmas Carnival,Bob Reynolds found that his troubleswere only half over; he still needs aSanta Claus.Reynolds’ worries all sprang fromthe plan of presenting outstandingstudent leaders with gifts that willexpress in some small way the essenceRenovate Kelly;Girls Move OutAnnual residence hall improvementsthis year will probably ruin the livesof four graduate inmates of Kelly.Every year, the powers that be, de¬cide to alter and ‘improve’ the resi¬dence halls, and the Christmas spiritthis month will be directed towardKelly.During the rejuvenation, the incum¬bents of the fifth floor will be forciblyejected. Although the fifth floor hasbeen condemned as living quarters,it is more than satisfactory as an at¬tic, and four Kelly hearts have beenbroken at the thought of departure. of their personalities in place of theusual type of floor .show.Want Collegiate SmtaIn order to secure a Santa in themost democratic manner possible Rey¬nolds has been secretly canvassing theentire campus, to find the ideal col¬legiate Santa Claus. The race hasbeen close thus far and the leadingcandidates include Ash Taylor, Rob¬ert O.

The discussion and ballottalked about below caused us to change ourmind.)If the vote taken in the History 233 class lastFriday is a reliable index (and we are forcedto admit that it is at least a tentative index)many more students favor the reading periodthan are opposed to it.At Professor Gottschalk’s request, the classexpressed its opinion c"' the merit of the threeweek interlude for concentrated reading. Ofthe thirty-four students whose votes were re¬corded, twenty-three thought that the New Planinnovation was a worthwhile one.Surprising ResultFrankly, this startled us. From our own per¬sonal experience, we would have expected theresults to be the reverse. Of course, the sampleis too small to be a conclusive one, and it is atleast interesting to note that a much largerproportion of the students who favored the read¬ing period lived off campus. This last fact wouldseem to indicate that many students liked thereading period because it obviated the necessityof coming to campus every day during the quar¬ter.But, even taking these factors into account,the reading period was still much more popularthan we had anticipated.We are not convinced that the majority wasright, and w’e are not content to say that thereading period does not make much differenceto good students, since we feel that any proced¬ural device such as this in education either fa¬cilitates or hinders learning.Opposite View Deserves AttentionBut since the students who voted had all hadthe same experience with the reading periodthat we had, we think that their opinion shouldreceive respectful attention, and full publicity.Now, we should like to summarize a few ofthe arguments made in the class against thereading period, before we leave off considera¬tion of the subject until a more complete anal¬ysis of student opinion is available.In the first place, an excellent argumentagainst the re.^ding period in one school or di¬vision alone was presented. It was pointed outthat with no classes for three weeks in one di¬vision and regular work expected from a stu¬dent who had classes in another division, thatstudent w'ould tend to concentrate his effortson the work demanded for class preparation tothe e.xclusion of work in the courses in whichthere were no classes. This, of course, is not anargument against the reading period per se,but against it as it is now limited to the SocialScience division.Some Prefer to ReadA second attitude worth considering was thatwhich said that those who would prefer to spendtheir time in concentrated reading can alwaysstay away from lectures, but those who receivemore stimulation from lectures cannot get thatstimulation when there are fewer lectures.A third interesting argument was the onethat a large number of students—good students—need constant lectures for intellectual guid¬ance, or even as a goad to disagreement withwhat is being taught and consequent .stimulusfor further research.Other, just as interesting arguments, werepresented to make a case for the reading period.Since we are in opposition to it, we would ratherlet those people who think that the scheme is a The Traveling BazaarBy DICK HIMMELContinuing a popular feature in the Bazaar, wepresent the second letter addressed to “Dear Experi¬enced.” Here is the letter:Dear Experienced:Itch, ItchI’ve got an itch. (Aye, madam, aye) and this itchis to be a glamour girl with an end in view, (Comenow.. ,oh, never mind I guess I won’t comment.) Nowthis end is to spend one glorious thrilling week in NewOrleans at the Mardi Gras. This is being made avail¬able by the Daily Maroon which appears daily exceptSaturday, Sunday, and Monday and is priced at threecents and is available at any newsstand and subscrip¬tions is three dollars. (So nice to know, sister.) Itwould be heaven for me to spend that one glorious weekin New Orleans in the arms of New Orleans and oneof the campus glamour boys. Yoicks, it’s enough tomake a girl drool, thinking of New Orleans, Ash Taylor,and the Daily Maroon all at once. (There is here aslight slobbering of saliva on the letter which does notbear reprinting.) How can I get to New Orleans?How Can I get there? Certainly not on my own. (Lady,it’s your own. You ought to know if it’ll get youthere.) So, Experienced, help me. I cry out for yourhelp, “Yipe!” Come to me in my hour of need.Signed, AvailableDear Available.I have received many letters such as yours tryingto get to the Mardi Gras and I can only say this. “This.”First I would recommend you do something with yourhair. It has always been my experience that a girlshould do something with her hair. All the famouswomen in history have done something with their hair.Look at Delila! Look at Cleopatra (or were tho'-.esnakes). Look at Medusa! Madame Pompadour! Takeher for instance. (This offer does not hold good inCanada.)So it is you must have hair. Now in looking overyour handwriting, I easily detect that you are funda¬mentally bald. This I realize is a distinct handicap toyour glamour. Have you tried painting wild designson your bald head? I thought not. Well, my dear,this is my suggestion to you. Paint in colorful letterson your head, “I Want To Go.” I realize there is notroom to paint “To the Mardi Gras” on your head, butI feel sure that people will understand.Glad to help you out in a pinch,signed: Experienced.Waxing with WillieBy WILLIE KENTAmong string quartets playing today, the Budapestis certainly without a superior; and it is therefore notremarkable that the recording they have just made forColumbia of Maurice Ravel’s quartet is unreproachablefor the fine musicianship it displays.Not so, however, with the music itself, although evenit has very little of the remarkability noted so vitupera-tively by the critics of its first performances, around1905. They called it “emotionless,” “revolting,” and“formless”; but in the present state of enlightenment,no matter how sympathetic one may be towards areaction generally unfavorable to the quartet, he mustnevertheless admit that it is a work of great subtlety,with frequent charm or depth of feeling. A possiblemoral to be drawn, with the help of a little good will,is, that a critic’s reasons are almost always to bedistrusted, although sometimes his taste is not.Old French Carolsrecord of at least seasonal inti ’•rst cor ains threeold French Christmas carols, including Debousset’s“Qu’en un instant,” sung beautifully by the Strasbourgcathedral choir.

K.Letters to the EditorBoard of ControlThe Daily MaroonIn the December 10th .Maroon it was implied thatI said “The kind of education is a matter of indifferenceso long as the teachers are ‘cultured’ people.” I do notbelieve that I made any such statement. I certainlydid not intend to make any such statement. So far asI can recall, my statement was somewhat as follows:“The best system of education can be spoiled by badteachers and good teachers can get the best possibleout of a bad system.” Obviously, the ideal combinationwould be good teachers in a good system.Sincerely yours,Louis Gottschalk(If we yniarepotted Profesaor Gottschalk's remarks,we are sorry. We are glad to ktiow, however, that hedidn’t really mean that the system is less importantthan the caliber of the individual professor. —ed.)wise one, state the case for themselves. Sincewe think, as we said, that their side of the casedeserves a hearing, the columns of the Maroonwill be available to them at any time.In the meanwhile, we commend the matterto the students and faculty in the Social Sci¬ences. Rather than stating so positively thatthe reading period should be abolished, we askthem now, “Should it be discontinued?”E. S. L.

Those who preferred the intramural versionof the game stated they saw no place for the game in any classification otherthan inter-squad.One-fifth of the unfavorable remain undecided as to whether they willcompete, while those who answered positively indicated a strong desire to play.Regardless of the decision of the athletic department, slightly less than onethird believed they would continue participating next year.Rumor Metcalf OpposedThough unconfirmed, a rumor has come from the office of Metcalf to theaffect that he frowned on the intercollegiate proposal for the same reason hediscounted entering the Little 19 League of the Illinois Conference. The under¬ground feeling contends that a blow to the prestige of the University wouldresult.As far as experience in 11 man football goes, 9 answered none, and amongthose who had, the average number of years played numbered two.The consensus of opinion on the comparative value of the two games gives11 man the prestige of being more exacting. Many, Jack Fitzgerald for in¬stance, said that 6 man football was essentially a game for light and fastmen. In his opinion, it seemed that most of the participants were between theweight limits of 130 and 165.Valuable As DiversionIts value as an intramural sport was unanimously lauded by the players.They said that it furnished diversion and recreation in a pleasurable form.Ken Monson put the situation in these words: “I played the game to keep inshape and for the entertainment value I could get out of it. I didn’t take thecompetition too seriously and think I had more fun because of that fact.” Announce StartOf SquashCompetitionAthletic Director Metcalf an¬nounces the start of Squash competi¬tion.
