Vol. 41. No.'’53‘' Z.I49 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO. THURSDAY. JANUARY 16. 1941 Price Three CentsChicago Places ThirdIn Big Ten Ratings ASU, Chicago TribAre Strange Mates-Agree on Roosevelt Dille Asks FreshmenFor Activity Plan OK“Dictator bill” said the Tribune inlaunching an attack this morningagainst the National Defense Act pro¬posal now before congress. “Righto!”said a leading member of the campusASU this afternoon referring to theTrib label. But, as in the famed Irishstory about the coal cart, one was pull¬ing for the attack, and the other waspushing it. And both are working forthe same cause for different reasons.Mike, you may recall, would havenothing to do with Pat so he pulledthe cart, and Pat pushed it, both at¬tempting to ignore the other. And soit is with the ASU and the Tribune.The former want the bill defeated“because,” said one ASU member, “wedo not want a president intent uponinvolving us in an undemocratic warto have this power to further the endshe has in mind.”The Tribune opposes the bill be¬cause, says the paper, “If the powersgranted by it are to be used as itsproponents intend them to be, the re¬publican form of government will withdifficulty if at all survive the dictator¬ship thus established.”But both want the measure killed.And just as the two Irishmen gotpaid for getting the coal cart to Dub¬lin, so both the Tribune and the ASUmay achieve their common purposewhile opposing each other in princi¬ple. Ernest ColwellDivinity School Dean Ernest C.Colwell spoke to the regular meetingof the Methodist Student League lastnight in Swift Hall Commons on,*‘What Aid Can Christians GiveEurope.'*Dean Colwell emphasized the urgentneed for international understandingand an increase in the moral outlookprovided by the doctrines of Christian¬ity.In addition to his duties as Dean,he i^ Professor and Chairman of theDepartment of the New Testament.Coffee Shop SocietyReady For PosterityMichigan Statistics ShowChicago Leads in Fencing,Gymnastics and Tennis.Statistics released today by theUniversity of Michigan give a directanswer to those who persist in refer¬ring to the Western Conference asthe Big Nine.The table shows the number ofchampionships won by each of the tenschools in the 12 different sports nowawarded conference titles. These fig¬ures go back to 1896 when the Confer¬ence was formed.48 Championships WonMichigan is first with a total of 78titles, and Illinois second with 72. Thename of the school in third place mustseem out of place to Arch Ward, etal, because, strangely enough, it is theUniversity of Chicago!With 48 championships won in 10 ofthe 12 sports shown, Chicago placesahead of seven members. Further¬more, in only one of these 10 sportsdoes Chicago hold lower than thirdplace. This sport is football, but thesefigures do not differentiate betweenundisputed titles into which categoryall of the Maroons’ fall, and ties inwhich sometimes three teams partici¬pated.Lead in Three SportaIn gymnastics, fencing, and tennisthe University leads all others. Ingolf it is tied for second. Among bas¬ketball, baseball, outdoor track, in¬door track, and swimming it ranks ei¬ther in third place or ties for third.It has not won in either cross-coun¬try or wrestling. 1Illinois is the only other school rep¬resented in more sports, having wonchampionships in all except tennis.Water Polo ExcludedFor some reason another sport inwhich the Maroons are exceptionallystrong, water polo, has been left off |the list. In this activity Chicago has [never finished lower than second in,the 17 years it has been a Conference Isport.Wisconsin, Minnesota, Northwest¬ern, Indiana, Ohio State, and Iowafollow Chicago in that order.SchumanSpeaksAt Int-HouseHillel MeetingFrederick L. Schuman, former pro¬fessor at the University of Chicago,will speak, Jan. 22, on “AmericaFaces the Caesars.” The lecture, issponsored by Hillel Club of the Uni¬versity and will be held in Interna¬tional House, at 8.Dr. Schuman has been widely rec¬ognized as an outstanding teacher,) lecturer, and writer on contemporaryEurope and on current internationalproblems. Among his more recent, and])erhaps most well-known, books are“Germany Since 1918,” and “Europeon the Eve.”During 1 9 2 8 he toured theContinent.

Mortarboard is spon¬soring a hag stag on next Thursdayafternoon and the University Bar As¬sociation is holding a dance on thefollowing night.The third group, the FreshmanCouncil, announced that to date itsmembers had collected $100 from stu¬dents.The S.F.A.C. was also able to an¬nounce action on another front as twofraternities. Delta Kappa Epsilon andPsi Upsilon recently stated their in¬tention of contributing to the fund.Neither of these organizations haveyet decided the exact amount that willbe given. These contributions are ex¬pected to bring the fund to well over$1500.Wash Prom SophomoresAll sophomores interested inworking on the Washington Prom•should be present at a meeting inBartlett Trophy Room at 3:30 to¬day.All ticket salesmen should reportto the Trophy Room at 3:30 tomor¬row. The busy little brains of Coffee Shophabitues at times have a quality ofgenerating surprising ideas. Particu¬larly when they have nothing to do,that is, when there is a poverty ofgossip or no fourth for bridge.It comes out now that a group ofannonymous coke casanovas have be¬thought themselves of a stunt which,if canied out, would in a way per¬petuate the personalities of the morefamous customers. They read that inHollywood it is the practice of moviestars to put the imprint of their handsand feet in wet cement in the lobbyof Grauman’s Chinese Theatre.A Star Is BornLatest journalistic creation of theQuadrangles, the Daily Chicagoan,will hit the newsstands Tuesday withits first issue. This quarter it will ap¬pear weekly, at five cents. Spring, itwill do double duty, and next year itseditors hope to produce it daily.According to Managing EditorWally Angrist, the staff will try toproduce straight news stories with nodefinite editorial platform. Executiveofficers will be Harry Scholl, GeneralManager; Ira S. Glick, Editor; FredGustafson, in Business and Advertis¬ing, and Hendrick Jacobson, whoseposition has not yet been determined.Temporarily, the Chicagoan is us-jing Pulse’s office as its headquarters. Their variation on this stunt wouldcommemorate the particularly out¬standing character traits of the cele¬brated through symbols impressed incement.A fund has been created to hire acontractor to rip out the Hag-stonesnow serving as the floor. In theirI place will be one of two things; holesor cement blocks with Hieroglyphics.A constant fund will be maintainedfor the purpose of laying the blocks.It has been proposed that discerningmembers of the group deprive them¬selves of a few whispering hours tokeep a tally of the people enteringthe Shop in order to insure a purestrain of cement celebrities.Some of the insignificant difficultiesthat come to mind are those of howP. Florian’s line could be put intoanything definite like cement, or howBlanche Graver’s feet could be seenin a concrete block, or Nick Parisi’ssex appeal could be convenientlycaptured for public view.j Of course, this may be just a coke'dream, but if it were to actually gothrough, how enlivened would be theconversation about campus. Gossip' would increase and also bridge ability.Next year the various clubs wouldI rush their freshmen by pointing thei number of sisters who had aspired toj and won fame.j 'I Newsreel BoysFind A WomanCampus Newsreel officials w h ocursed the lack of women in their or¬ganization, were rewarded in a mildway today. For as a result of theirplea in Tuesday’s edition of the Ma¬roon, one girl was among those whomet in the Reynolds Club for the firstmeeting of the year. Alfred Phan-stiehl, director, took the opportunityto outline the organization and itsplan to the members assembled.Officers named to the Board of Con¬trol, are: Phanstiehl, Director, andBob Lawson, Publicity, with the postsof Chief Photographer and BusinessManager still open. R. B. Thomas ofHumanities was appointed FacultyAdvisor to the group. Approaches Council withScheme to Include More Stu*dents in Extra-CurricularFunctions.Bob Dille, chairman of the Fresh¬men Council, announced yesterdaythat he will bring before the Coun¬cil proposals for a program wherebythe 2,000 undergraduates not reachedby activities will be brought into theswing of University life.Immedate task of the Council willbe to prepare i: series of open dis¬cussions or seminars to get facultymembers and all types of students to¬gether so that a program can be for¬mulated. Aim of the whole idea is toget students who are not affiliatedwith any organizations to give theirreasons why.Seek Reasons“Student organizations,” statesDille, “are more than clubs and fra¬ternities, they enbrace a huge varietyof interests. Many activities do at¬tract substantial numbers of the un¬dergraduates, but evidently there issomething amiss when 2,000 people donot participate in extra-curricular or¬ganizations.”It is further pointed out that manyworthwhile lectures, discussions, andsocial functions are sparsely attendedwhile larger numbers of men andwomen who would enjoy themselvesthere are wondering what to do.Dille’s proposal is to study this oft-recurring problem in a thoroughfashiofi“ and to determine causes andcures.Material for Sociological StudyThe members of the Universitymake up a community large enoughto be classed as a city under CensusBureau classifications. The behaviorpatterns of this population provide abasis for an interesting sociologicalstudy. Comment has been offered thatit is fitting and proper for a studentorganization to attack this problemin a scientific manner.Dille appeals to all students, es¬pecially the unaffiliated ones to co¬operate with the Council if this proj¬ect goes through. Even if these stu¬dents do not plan to join in activities,their reasons will be important to theCouncil.Ida Noyes OffersSweet and SwingTo Music AddictsMusic lovers and swing addicts cannow take advantage of a new record¬ing library sponsored by the IdaNoyes Council. The council buys rec¬ords with the money made by sellingold rental library books.So far several Beethoven Sympho¬nies, a Wagner albumn, and a dozenor so discs of famous operatic artistsand symphonic recordings have beenacquired. Anyone is permitted, in factasked, to bring records and use thehouse machine.The library is open from 9 to clos¬ing time. All wishing to get record¬ings should check them out at themain office at Ida Noyes. At that timethey will also be assigned a victrolaand a private listening room.Name New ReynoldsClub Tourney ChiefThe Reynolds Club Council yester¬day announced the appointment ofJack Brown as chief in charge of theorganization’s tournaments, and theacceptance of five new members.

Under the impetus of outside suggestion,its members have half-heartedly undertaken thetask of raising money for the Student Fiftieth Anni¬versary Committee. Under the impetus of outsidesuggestion, the Council has planned to join withthe Northwestern Freshman Council in sponsoringa dance after the Wildcat-Maroon basketball game.Acting on its own initiative, it has planned anouting of the kind that Chapel Union has sponsoredfor some time.None of these activities, we feel, justify the ex¬istence of a Freshman Council. None of them aidfreshmen importantly in becoming adjusted to theUniversity; none of them have unified first yearstudents significantly, either in spirit or in activity.Discussion Plan EncouragingWe were delighted, therefore, to learn that thePresident of the Council was planning to bring forthfor discussion at the Council’s next meeting, a moreworthwhile plan. It is, in fact, important enoughso that if it could be put into effect with a reason¬able degree of thoroughness and seriousness, itwould justify the continuance of the Council, notas a means to an empty title for ten people, but asan active, valuable campus organization.The scheme would attempt to do wTiat theCampus Congress failed to do three years ago; spon¬sor a series of seminars by which the means of inte¬grating campus society might be determined, if thereare any such means.Might Solve Something ^The plan is detailed on the front page—in es¬sence it tries to solve the problems that were posedin a recent Maroon Bull session, and to which nosatisfactory answ'er has been offered.VV'^hether it can succeed is something that onlythe seminars themselves can show. But whetherthe Council decides to act on the plan is the vitalpreretjuisite to any hope of success.Can Expect CooperationWe know that administration heads, facultymembers, and student leaders will be glad to co¬operate w ith the Council in any effort they chooseto make. Even if the plan is not successful, and theonly way to find out if it can be is to try it, theCouncil will have made an excellent gesture, offer¬ing at least a partial proof of more sincere motivesthan desire for empty prestige.Next Tuesday, then, will reveal whether theCouncil is going to make an effort to refute thecharges of insincerity and uselessness that have beenlevelled against it. We await their meeting withinterest.E. S. L. The Traveling Bazaarby ERNEST LEISERComes Thursday, and the exigencies of writing aBazaar furrows my already furrowed brow. Do youknow what a goober is ? 0. K. 0. K. The eminent DoctorMaclean didn’t know either. And he had never even heardof an ox. The University of Chicago teaches ideas, notfacts.Only the Bazaar teaches facts. Facts of life. Like thefact that no girl like the totsie in the Coffee Shopshould wear an ornament in the shape of a question-mark in the place that a club pin is normally worn. Orthat Margie Goodman is submitting herself to dangersof untold indignity when she wears a stop-and-go signin the same place.Or the sprightly fact of a little conversation pieceoverheard in front of Beecher. Says she to him, “Youknow, for a professor, he’s remarkably sterile.’’Stag Hag DragTurning our attention from facts of the intellect tofacts of the social, we discover that the Mortar Boardsare having a hag-stag a week from today in the Rey¬nolds Club, and lovely Joan Lyding wants everyone tocome. Come with a frail, she cries, come stag, she com¬mands, if you’re a lovely woman and want to find ahandsome man, come hag stag, she asks.Maroon RevelsTraditionally the Maroon has a party for its staffand for its friends on campus. Traditionally, thtf* Ma¬roon has a celebrity at its party. Once it was GertieLawrence, and we’ve never quite got over that. Thisyear, we are dickering for the services of Gypsy RoseLee, and wo expect the number of our friends to in¬crease startlingly overnight. The brawl is going to beheld the night before Skull and Crossbones, and inaddition to Gypsy Rose, or Louise, as we call her, wehope to have that king among men, Bert Lahr, and someof the chorine queens among women, in the cast of“Du Barry was no Lady.” There is going to be a ter¬rific contest in which President Hutchins, Mortimer Ad¬ler (they don’t know yet, of course) are going to helpGypsy Rose and Lahr decide whether Mirror chorinesor B. G. De Sylvia babes have better pins. With ShirleeSmith and Agle Argiris in the competition, we’re acinch to beat those Broadway broads..There is likewise going to be a quiz program, atwhich three members of the Board of Control will firequestions at Bob Schwab, Dink McLellan, Bob Stierer,and Professor Hutchinson, those low characters whohave mocked our sterling efforts as Quiz Kids.Shades of HadesOh, incidentally, that dapper-looking individualyou’ve seen floating around campus shaking hands likeJohn Bex isn’t Bex at all, but just a myth. We know itisn’t Bex, because there isn’t anyone named John Bexregistered as a student here. It certainly takes a creat¬ive mind to imagine John Emmanuel the Bex, however.There’s a post mortem from the Foster formal Sat¬urday night with which we will close. Henri Mahon waswith George Mead, and Louise Howson by some strangeco-incidence was with Warfield. Virginia Nichols waswith Stuart Palmer, and Mary Hammel was the date ofChuck Mason, or vice versa.Young Men in a HurryBy CHARLES DARRAGHUnder the pseudonym “Mortimer Post,” which showsthe traditional contempt of detective novels held byEnglish professors when read in reverse, Walter Blairwrote “Candidate for Murder” a few years ago. It wassuccessful, and because of that has been a subject ofribbing by his associates ever since.But Associate Professor Walter Blair is not thebushy-haired professor of tradition. Rather dark, suave,of medium height, possessor of dark eyes which seemcontinually to find amusement in life and a dark mus¬tache, he wouldn’t strike a passer by on State Streetas a professor of note. More, perhaps, as an insurancesalesman or even a clothier from one of the establish¬ments which line the thoroughfare. But the averageman’s powers of observation are meager.Biographical NotesBiography: Born in Spokane, Washington near thebeginning of the Century, undergraduate at Yale wherehe was on the staff of the Yale News, graduated in 1923,did graduate work at this university, and then home tomarry the sweetheart of his childhood. A daughter, nowtwelve, completes the family. At his office in InglesideHall he writes his manuscripts in long-hand, plans hiscourses and guides needful students to the paths ofrighteousness in the study of English.“Approaches to Poetry,” a text done in collabora¬tion with W. K. Chandler of Harvard, is the bulwarkof elementary courses in the college.Specialist in HumorIn his special field of study, American Humor, Wal¬ter Blair claims several successful publications. “NativeAmerican Humor, 1800-1900” is self-explanatory. “MickFink, King of Mississippi Keelboatmen” is a Paul Bun-yon-ist treatment of a little-known character of legend.His latest, “Horse-Sense in American Humor,” to bepublished next year, reviews American political humor¬ists from Ben Franklin to Will Rogers. It’s his opinionthat the breed died out with the Oklahoma wit.Thinking the life of author and professor an idealone, Walter Blair is one of the most prominent andcontented of the younger members of our faculty.'

JANUARY 16. 1941THE DAILY MAROON SPORTSMaroons Score InWater Polo Match• The University of Chicago waterpolo team met a fast Beilfuss Natato-rium squad last night, and cdme awaywith a 7-6 victory over the northwestside bunch. Beilfuss, traditional citychampions in the water version ofhockey, and national junior championslast season, led for the better half ofthe game, but couldn’t keep the Ma¬roons in check in the later minutes.Trandle, of Beilfuss, scored in thefirst few seconds of play, and addedanother point two minutes after hisinitial tally. With three and a halfminutes left in the seven minute firsthalf, Argoll, the dangerous Maroonforward, scored. Art Argoll’s pointdidn’t mean a thing, when Zimmermanand Trandle scored in quick succes¬sion.Beilfuss Ahead at HalfArgoll, on passes from Bethke,made two more points to keep the C-men within striking distance of theseemingly faster Beilfuss outfit. Thehalf ended with Beilfuss ahead by a4-3 score. The seven minute halvesare devoted to actual play, for theclock is stopped at every goal andfoul. And fouls come with almostmonotonous regularity in water polo.Jim Eberle, the Beilfuss muscleman, opened the second half with along throw that Fischer, in the Chi-cago nets, coulJn’t quite stop. Bethke,Maroon forward, came right back witha tally to make it 5-4.Maroons Take LeadChicago took a permanent lease onscoring after Eberle was ejected forfoaling Chuck Percy, the C defensewheel-horse. Argoll hit twice to putthe Maroons in front. Bethke madethe other Chicago goal as the gunended the tilt with a 7-6 win despiteanother Beilfusss score by stocky JimEberle.Beilfuss, an organization of Austingraduates, found the Maroons a muchdifferent team last night from the ag¬gregation they had swamped, 7-6.earlier this term. Coach MacGillvray’smen were a confident squad even whentheir opponents were leading by acomfortable margin.Freshman CagersLook PromisingFreshman week, and the unforget¬table handshake with PresidentHutchins, has been over for quitesome time, and the freshman basket-bailers are moving into their thirdmonth of practice. The yearlings,coached by both Nels Norgren andKyle Anderson, have some men thatare certain varsity material.Johnny Jorgensen, and Bob Oakley,are the leading freshmen prospects,with Dan Fogle, Bob Smidl, roundingout a pleasing freshmen four. Thefifth man on the mythical freshmanregular quintet might come from anyone of the remaining aspirants.If they can stay eligible, Jorgensen,a tall boy with a good eye, Oakley,Fogle, Smidl and possibly a few oth¬ers who haven’t yet shown quite asmuch in the scrimmages would makea better crop of sophomore materialthan the Maroons have had for manyyears.Maroon Staff PlaysTravel Bureau in aSouth American WayShe was fat, she was 40 (once), shewore a hat with a veil, and a blackfur coat. Determinedly, she movedacross the Maroon’s floor. Accostinga timid Maroonman in a desertedcomer of the office, she grabbed himby the tie, pulled him up to her owmlevel and boomed in his face, “I wanta ticket on the freighter to SouthAmerica.”“We don’t handle those thingshere,” the timid reporter squeeked,kicking violently in the air. “Whydon’t you try our Business Office? Wehave everything there.” She droppedthe reporter and chugged off, con¬voyed by seven cockroaches, with herwhite veil streaming behind her. Squash ClubThurs. Jan. 16 Lake Shore ClubHomeThurs.
