The speech will be broadcastover the red network of the NationalBroadcasting System at 9:30.It will be the first time in eightyears that the President has spokenon a political subject. In 1932, at thetime of President Roosevelt’s firstelection, Hutchins made a publicstatement.Although he declined t<Acomment onthe content of his half hour speech, he-aid that he had been a Roosevelt sup¬porter since the Pi*esident’8 first in¬auguration, and this would be his firstpublic analysis of the Roosevelt pol¬icy. He plans to deal especially withAmerica’s war policy.Declines to AppearKarlier in the week Mr. Hutchinshad declined an invitation by Con¬gressman Hamilton Fish to appear be¬fore the House Foreign Affairs Com¬mittee to testify as to his opinions onthe Foreign situation. He advisedCongressman Fish, when he refusedthe invitation, however, that his viewswould be explained in full when hespeaks on the radio tomorrow night.Mr. Hutchins announced that hewould not speak as a representative ofthe University, nor of the faculty,trustees, or administration. He wouldexpress only his own opinions as aAmerican citizen, he announced.Once an Ambulance DriverDuring the first World War, Hutch¬ins served as an ambulance driver. Heleft Yale to go to the Front, and re-ceivetl the Croce De Guerra for hisservices to the Italian Government.Speculation was running high as tothe content of his speech.

The local club has been incontact with a Chicago winter sportgroup known as the Snow Chasers.The two clubs propose to sponsor theFebruary 9 party in conjunction. Ifthe Snow Chasers agree to enter withthe Ski Club the number travelingnorth will amount to nearly 250.More a Ski Meet than CarnivalIn nature, this party is more of aski meet than a carnival, with compe¬tition between the various partici¬pants, the slalom feature being theoutstanding event of the day.Though unresolved as yet, the club,through Bob Howard, has planned abeauty contest to decide their skiqueen. Qualifications include not onlybeauty and a ski suit, but also theability to tell the difference betweena stem christie and an inverted snowflake.Randon and Howard have expressedthe hope that this party will grow in¬to a festival on the dimensions plannedby Bill Westenberg, chairman of thelate Winter Carnival. Mirror Hoard has made up a tenta¬tive list of the songs that will be usedin this year’s production. According toRuth Steel, pre.sident of MirrorBoard, “These are all so good that weju.st had to accept them. We hope touse them all, but that depends onwhether or not they fit into the show.”The li.st includes Marian Nebel’s“Won’t You Come Back?” Libby Mc-Key’s “Why Did I Let You Go?” andMarian Castleman’s “50 Years FromNow.” Miss Castleman and Dick Him-mel have also collaborated on a song,“Daphne Is A Deb.”Also on the list are Marjorie Ex¬eter’s “Memories,” Ruth Whelan’s“Wolf Stay Way From My Door,”Elizabeth Felzenthal and Ruth Steel’s“Three Cheers for the U. S. A.” BettyAnn Evans and Bob Swenson havealso written songs, and Frank Rekerhas composed the music for the danceroutines.Eddie Armstrong has the leadingmale singing part, but another malesinger is needed. Ardis Molliter,Marjorie Exeter, Ruth Whelan, andMarjorie Levin are also featuredsingers. The Quad trio, composed ofBetsy Kuh, Betty Headland, andBarbara Caulton, and the BarberShop Quartet, will be two highlightsin the show. Several alums may alsobe used as a tie up with the FiftiethAnniversary theme. Men interested inbeing in the chorus should go to Man-del today at 3:30. A picture of Hat+ie Paine, droopingcigarette in her mouth, watching theVictory Vanities tryouts, a candidshot of Shirley Smith at the Home¬coming Carnival, and countless Deke'rushing pictures (the Cap and Gownphotographer is Deke John Thomp¬son) are in the Cap and Gown officewaiting to go into the 60th Anniver¬sary Cap and Gown which is now inits peak of production.Only new cuts will be used in the |1941 book.

The address by this notedThomist philosopher is being sponsor¬ed by Calvert Club, a Catholic stu¬dents’ organization on the Quadran¬gles. The lecture starts at 4:00 P.M. (Ed.

This is the first of a series.)Whoever said beauty wasn’t every¬thing either had his tongue in hischeek or a sister enrolled here.Beauty is one commodity that goesa long way towards influencing themale mind in certain respects, a recentMaroon questionnaire demonstrated.And few of the women around hereinfluence the male mind.Only one out of every 10 Universityfreshmen men think their feminine as¬sociates have the ability to raise theirinterest levels above the zero point.An occasional male goes so far as tosay that after his first week of obser¬vation he reconciled himself to a col¬lege social life of commuting betweenthe south side and the Evanstoncampus.One of the suppositions taken fromthe questionnaire is that diversity inentertainment values among freshmenpledges and independents appears aft¬er they leave the dorms and becomeoriented in fraternities or adopt therole of unaffiliated scholars. Both groups average about the samenumber of dates per week, and spendexactly the same amount, $2.26. Few,no more than three out of 20, havecoke and study dates.

R. 1776, was termed a “fargreater menace than all-out aid toBritain, however great the risk ofwar may be” by Mary Gilson, Assist¬ant Professor of Economics in aninterview yesterday.In her comments on PresidentRoosevelt’s Third Innaugural AddressMiss Gilson said, “The President’sspeech surely could not have startledanyone who has been ordinarily in¬formed for he said what has alreadybeen said by him and others manytimes. It seems incredible -that any¬one in the face of all the evidence thatin concerning the Nazi aim forworld domination and the fate ofcountries that trusted their ‘neutral¬ity’ to protect them, should questionthe validity of anything the Presi¬dent said.”Unfortunately Montana providednot only a man largely responsible forpreventing the United States fromentering the League of Nations,” con¬tinued Miss Gilson, “But also a manwho is equally unrealistic in the pres¬ent crisis. I have no doubt that Bur¬ton Wheeler and his followers as wellas many lesser lights regard thePresident’s speech as another steptoward war.”Page Two THE DAILY MAROON. WEDNESDAY.

Rubins, Dave Martin, Dick HimmelMaroon BaitersIn a letter printed elsewhere in the DailyMaroon, we are accused of “editorial defeatism”and “red-baiting.” Charges like this ring fa¬miliarly in our editorial ears. Last year weheard the same accusations, while during thetwo previous years we were accused of “edito¬rial optimism” and “conservative baiting,” iJust at this time, however, we are singular- ily innocent of the slanderous attempt at deny-1ing our liberalness of thought. This is especial-1ly true since we find ourselves in sympathy |with a great number of the aims professed for ^the American Student Union by our indignantcorrespondent.We, too, think that the NYA should be!maintained in its peacetime manifestations;we, too, object to changes in the curriculum, de¬signed to supplant pursuit of knowledge with an ^increase in usefulness for the war program; we, |too, support the Federal Aid-to-Education Bill;;we, too, should like to see the Negroes receivefull political and social equality, and protest the idiscrimination against them in the ROTC; we,!too, think that the Gideonse-Seymour sugges-'tion for a year of labor camp training is vicious jand unnecessary. jThe ASU is Impotent—Agreeing with those aims of the ASU, how-1ever, cannot cause us to change our opinion!that the ASU, and more especially the localbranch of the ASU is and must be almost com¬pletely impotent. If pointing out weakness isred-baiting, then we certainly are guilty.But our evidence for “baiting” them by sayingthat the chief concern of the ASU is with im¬mediate ends of foreign policy, is the meetingsthat the Union has sponsored so far this year.They have been concerned almost entirely withdeveloping a pro-isolationist foreign policy. 'Under a regimented autarchic state, wethink it is impossible to effectuate and extend:social reforms. Actually, we feel that they are;more against the social reforms than we are. Ifreds are social reformers, the ASU members arethe “red-baiters.”IWe Offer a Challenge |We said that the membership of the ASU Itoday is completely Communist or Communist-sympathizing. Our correspondent said that it jwas not. We challenge her to give us the name jof any present member who is not sympatheticto the Russian foreign policy. Just now it is |not our purpose to inquire whether that policy jis the right one or not. The fact remains that it |is certainly not a representative policy. Since jwe feel that only representative student opinion jcan be effectively expressed student opinion, we!feel it necessary to reiterate our charge that!the ASU cannot be effective, in the nature of itsmembership. We would make this statementabout a Republican Club, or a Democratic Club,as well as a semi-Communist ASU, so we againfeel innocent of the charge of red-baiting.When we called the activities of the ASUso far this year, ill-directed, uninspired, andsporadic, we were speaking with specific refer¬ence to the Chicago chapter. We defy our cor¬respondent to demonstrate to us any more con-!structive action taken than sponsoring an in-'conspicuous speaker or two, or attending the'national ASU convention.We have expressed our dissatisfaction withthe way that Political Union activities havebeen carried on. We were “baiting” them just!as much, but they apparently do not have sosensitive a nature. They reacted to the criti¬cism as a sincere, honest effort to analyze de¬fects in campus political activity.We Await ReformWe should like to repeat our criticism. There I is no group on campus that sponsors an impar-I tial and thorough consideration of lasting eco-j nomic and social reforms. We still believe thatthe ASU cannot be impartial or thorough solong as its membership is unrepresentative andconcerned with immediate ends like the defeatof the Defense Powers bill. We still believe thatPolitical Union should be able to undertake sucha consideration, and we still eagerly wait untilit shall begin to realize its potentialities. E. S. L.The Traveling BazaarBy BEATA MUELLERToday is Judgment Day, when we separate the sheepfrom the goats. Isn’t that nice?The Goats first. We consign to oblivion: Sigma ChiB-11 H-rp-r, because he would simply hate it; And FredFera’s mother-in-law, that he took to a party one night,potted!—my dear!—and wrapped up carefully againstthe cold. He carried it tenderly all evening, and whenhe got tired made some of us take turns carrying. Butdon’t misunderstand, please—Fred’s mother-in-law isbotanical, not sociological.Who was that lamb stew I seen you withAnd the Sheep. We number among the blessed:Freshman DA-er Frazier Rippy, who wrote an operawith an aria in it called “Ah! When I Was at Minsky’s.”Good, too. And Evelyn Stech, pretty would-be-bohcmianBohemian, who worries because she’s normal. And thepeople at the select little gathering, where, as the eve¬ning w'ore on and the company became more mellow, onegirl sat down at the piano, improvised from the volumeof Havelock Ellis open on the rack, and a half-dozenhappy voices sang through three of the more detailedchapters.Or what's a Bazaar for?And Ann Leonard, who persuaded the almost paternal¬ly attentive headwaiter at the Panther Room to go col¬lect autographs for her while she cleaned off a ginger-ale bottle on the table cloth, preparatory to secreting itsomewhere about her person and carrying it off. Andamazing Delta Sigma Marge Aberg, who dreamt thatshe was turning on the water in the bathtub when avoice came up from the drain, “I’ll be right out. This isJesus Christ.” which according to local savants andstudents of Fr-ud, indicates a subconscious desire to be¬long to Chapel Union.And the young man in the Education department whogot an invitation from Phi Beta Kappa, and didn’t wantto be bothered with it, because he thought it was anEducation fraternity.But, although we like playing G-d, we aren’t reallyomniscient. Can anyone tell us:W’ho dreamed up the compact sold at Stineway’sthat has a fiag on the cover, and written above the flag,“God Bless America,” and below it, “Long May ItWave?”And in Social Science 122, on the right of the black¬board, is a painting, a portrait, no doubt, of somefigurehead of learning or trustee. In the background issomething white, which—although we have never ap¬proached near enough to be sure—wc would identify aspossibly one of several things.1. Is it a statue wrapped in newspaper?2. Or a symbol of confusion, from which the figureemerges as a personification of Learning Triumphant?3. Or ectoplasm?Letters to the EditorBoard of Control, The Daily Maroon:As a member of the American Student Union, anda delegate to its sixth national convention, I shouldlike to present our program which the Daily Maroonhas chosen to ignore in favor of editorial defeatism and,I am sorry to say, red-baiting.The American Student Union is a united organiza¬tion, with no politica* strings, attachments, or influ¬ences—in this country or from anywhere else. Its mem¬bers are drawn from the student body and are as rep¬resentative of varying political tendencies as is thecampus. Its members are drawn from all sections of thecountry, from all faiths, from all races. Numbering20,000 students in its ranks, its membership is opento any student. Its program is fundamentally concernedwith the preservation of democratic education, academicfreedom, and the immediate desire to take America outof the war and to keep it out of the war.You deplore our “concern for immediate ends” andstate that discussions on post-War economic programsare more important in the determination of Americandemocracy—even more important than a British orGerman victory. We feel that the outcome of the presentwar, more than any other factor, will determine thefuture of the world. However, we also feel that thedecisive issue is not whether Germany or Englandwins, but whether it will be a victory for fascism andimperialism or a victory for the, people. Just as W’il-son, Lloyd George, Clemenceau, Orlando and KaiserWilhelm produced a violent peace of annexations, in¬demnities, and reparations which created but a breath¬ing spell before another war—so Roosevelt, Churchill,Mussolini and Hitler, if they have their own way, willproduce the same enormity no matter which side wins.For a lasting peace, the peoples of all countries willhave to dictate the terms. The Ameriiran people cancontribute to the defense of their own security and fu¬ture by supporting the efforts of the people of Englandwho are giving leadership to all people of belligerentcountries, toward the formation of a people’s peace.(Continued on Page Three) Comad ClubHears NovelistCraig RiceMiss Craig Rice, popular mysterynovelist and radio script writer, willbe the guest speaker at the bi-monthlyluncheon of Comad, the women’s clubin the School of Business.

JANUARY 22. 1941Hogness To ResearchOn Enzyme MysteryStudy May Result in Discov¬ery of Cancer Cure.By GEORGE BINDERContrary to popular notion, vitaminsare not foods, but only the chemicalapents the body requires to breakdown food. Vitamins once within thecells of the body change slightly andbecome enzymes. These infinitelysmall enzymes are the subject of theresearch now carried on by ProfessorThorfin R. Hogness in Jones Chemicallaboratory.Since 1933 the science of enzymesha.« advanced greatly. Prior to thatyear it was believed that the oxidationand reduction of food was done by a'ingle enzyme. Since then it has beenexperimentally discovered that this isfalse, and that the work is carried onby a chain of enzymes.When a molecule of food reaches acoll a co-enzyme attacks it and robsit of two hydrogen molecules. Thishydrogen is then passed on to anotherenzyme, which in turn passes it on toanother enzyme. After a number ofstops the hydrogen reaches oxygenwhore it unites to form water. Thewater is carried away by the bloodstream. The cell can then use the foodloft after the breakdown for growth.Chemistry ResearchThe object of the present research isto learn the chemistry of all the stepsinvolved in the chain of enzymes whichcause the breakdown of food. At thepresent this proce.ss is only known inan outline form. As more is learnedabout this chain more wilt be revealedabout cell growth. This.“bucket bri¬gade" which passes the hydrogenalong is important biologically forwithout it the cells stai-ve and suchdi.«eases as pellagra, neuritis, andheri-beri result.Cancer Cell Growth ProblemCancer itself is a problem of cellgrowth, and these experiments mayreveal—although Professor Hognessinsists that it is a long way off—thenature of this disea.se. At the presenttime (from a chemist’s point of view)practically nothing is known about themechanics of cell growth. This is thereason for so little knowledge of can¬cer. Prof. T. R.

From heavywhirling centrifugal machines todelicate filtering tissues the enzymesare gradually isolated. Three tons offresh yeast are used to get enoughenzymes equal in weight to a ten centpiece, enough, however, for ten mil¬lion experiments.

The experi¬ments are supported by a five yeargrant from the Rockefeller Founda¬tion.Thorfin R. Hogness comes fromScandinavian Minnesota and loves cof¬fee. He takes time off late every after¬noon for a cup of coffee at the Quad¬rangle Club. Born in Minneapolis in1894, he received his bachelor’s degreeat the University of Minnesota in1938, and his doctor’s degree at theUniversity of California three yearslater. In 1926 he was at the Univer¬sity of Gottingen, Germany, as a re¬search fellow. There his teacher wasProfessor James Franck, now his col¬league in the chemistry department.Since 1930, except for aoother trip toGermany as a special fellow of theRockefeller Foundation, he has beendoing research work and teaching atthe University of Chicago.Professor Hogness believes that Eu¬rope still leads the world in the studyof the chemistry of enzymes, but pre¬dicts in the near future great ad¬vances in this study here.SKULL AND CRESCENTMembers of Skull and Crescentare requested to meet at 1:00 P.M.today in the Reynolds Club lounge,and also to bring their money forthe tickets.I 1POLAROID LAMP$2.95A new lamp with the famous "Polaroid*' film,giving a better and easier light.Students and all others who use their eyes for intensivedesk work need Polaroid illumination.

With a set-up like this it isinevitable that some unintentionalfouling should occur, but, unfortunate¬ly it is not all unintentional as theMinnesota game will attest.Strangely enough, such maltreat¬ ment doesn’t seem to affect Stampf.He bears no ill-will towards his op¬ponents and any grudges formed inthe heat of the game are immediatelyforgotten when the gun blows. Afterthe Minnesota game he went to theGophers’ dressing-room to sympathizewith the two injured players, but hisadvances were rebuffed. His good-humor was noticeable in the Wisconsingame, also, when he was frequentlypatting a Badger on the back, forgiv¬ing him for fouling, and then calmlysinking the foul shot.This penchant for being fouledgained Joe sufficient proficiency to en¬ able him to sink the most free tossesin the Conference last year. His recordthis season puts him in a good way torepeat.This is Stampf’s seventh year ofbasketball. He played three for Cal-umet High School, including a sea.oonin which the team won the StaggTourney. This was the season of 1936-37 and afforded Joe his biggest thrillin basketball.As captain he is an admirable lead¬er. His great stamina is evidenced bythe number of games this season inwhich he has played the full fortyminutes.Zionists DiscussEnglish PoliticsAvukah, the American Student Zi¬onist Federation on the Quadrangles,will have a panel discussion today at3:30 in Ida Noyes.

Mintz As I WasSaying-By BOB LAWSONAn amazing Wisconsin team met anamazing Chicago team Monday night,but Wisconsin was a little more amaz¬ing and won.The Maroon team this year seemsto have the same tendency as that oflast year did of having its quality ofplay be directly proportional to thequality of the opponent’s play. Theydo not follow this to a logical con¬clusion but fall a little short.If they had played against Minne¬sota the way they played against Wis¬consin, they would surely have beatenthe Gophers. They were hot againstthe Badgers and it looked for a whileas though they might win.Although he was held to one fieldgoal, Joe Stampf played a fine game.Gene England’s 17 points is no indi¬cation of Stampf’s work. Coach Nor-gren had planned on using two mento cover England, but Stampf’s as¬sistant fell down on the job.Jack Fons and Ed Nelson bothplayed fine games. Fons was espe¬cially brilliant under the basket, whileNelson was dropping in long shots infine style.Another feature of Monday night’sgames was the performance of Min¬nesota’s oh-so-good Don Carlson.Michigan held him to three points, allscored on free throws.

When theydid go they spent about the same asthe pledges.Lean Toward Stag PartiesEach group showed a decided lean¬ing toward stag parties. The averagefor both classes was three for eachman during a month. But the pledgesturned in a numerical leaning towardsthis type of entertainment, figuring14 more stags per months as a group,than their more studious classmates.Half of the members of the fresh¬man class would like to play the fieldas far as dating is concerned.
