"Peace,It's Wonderful"A BULL SESSIONBy Daniel WinogradThis column ia addressed to PerezZajrorin and the so-called “peace” boyson fampus whose views were ex¬pressed in Zagorin’s column on Fri¬day.Well boys, there were 300 odd wordsill that column about what the Presi¬dent is doing, and what the Britishare doing, but not one word aboutwhat a guy named Hitler is doing.What About This Hitler GuyHonestly, boys, can you conscien¬tiously state that it makes no diiTer-ence to the United States w’hetherHitler wins or loses? Are you readyto let American democracy be washedunder a wave of Nazism—to sell 400million Europeans down the bloodyriver of Hitlerism just because youprefer “Scholarships to battleships?”Where do you stand on this Hitlerquestion? What do you propose—be¬sides your slogans to rid the world ofthe Nazi menace? Or is the Nazi men¬ace OK with you?You boys claim that the majorityuf the American people are againstthe President in risking war to aidBritain. Well brothers, the Americanpeople know where the President stoodon November 5, so maybe you are theones who are bucking the majority.Rather be a Canadian than a PoleOne of your squawks is why shouldAmerica help the British imperialists.That is a good-old left-wing yowl, butfellows, the type of imperialists you^ripe about went out with the bustle—and that isn’t meant as just a liter¬ary phrase. The Canadians and Aus¬tralians are a lot better off than theCzechs and Poles. Don’t worry toomuch about India either; the trendthere is in the direction of self-gov¬ernment too.Sc.athing reference was made to theprofits Henry Ford gets out of thiswar business. You are excused fel¬lows, for hollering about Henry—thatis also an old left-wing prerogative,but listen boys, you and Henry arein the same backyard now. Othergood lovers of peace and democracylike Hamilton Fish, and William Da¬vis are in there with you.Might Sing Another TuneComplaint was made about the lackof leaders for a campus peace move¬ment dedicated to ideals like Zagor¬in’s. You say you want an “unbrand¬ed” leader. Well boys there probably“ain’t such a animal,” and what’smore if Russia started to lean towardsBritain most of you would be sing¬ing a different tune.A “two-bit” bet is herewith offeredto any comers that the next columnfrom your side of the fence has astory about the common people ofCormany, and England et. al. unitingto overthrow their imperialist leaders.Well boys, you can wait for the worldrevolution of the proletariat, but thosekids down in the East End subw-aysneed more than slogans. /he Vculu Tha/ioon.Vol. 4I.No. 57 Z-149 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO.

Yes, it’s a play; a light and yet dramatic play. It’s called“Chi ne badine pas avce I’Amour” (One Doesn’t Trifle with Love) and it tvillbe presented in the Int. House Assembly Hall at 8:30 tonight and tomorrow.The comedy, considered Alfred de Musset’s masterpiece, is directed byWilliam Hawkins, who distinguished himself with last year’s production of“Les jours heureux.” All pai'ts in the play will be taken by French or French-speaking students at the Univeisity.Tickets, priced at 60 cents for students, $1.00 for outsiders, are availableat the Informatioyi Desk of Int.

President Hutchin’s radio speechtonight over the NBC red network willbe broadcast as a sustaining program,the Maroon learned, and Hutchins willnot speak under the auspices of anysupporting committee of any kinddespite rumors to that effect.Hutchins’ address will be his firston topics other than education foreight years, and the President haspromised his first “questioning” ofRoosevelt’s policies. For those who areunable to hear his speech at 9:30 to¬night, the Maroon will reprint thetext of the address.Ask PresidentQuestions AtMaroon Dinner Williams Professor Hits Iso¬lation Stand as Akin to Ap¬peasement.“Whether or not America can avoidwar is a perfectly futile question” de¬clared Professor Frederick Schumanin an address last night at Interna¬tional House. “For,” he continued, “thedate of our entry into war, if itcomes, will be picked in Berlin, Rome,and Tokyio.”The Professor, Woodrow WilsonProfessor of Government at WilliamsCollege, was speaking under the aus¬pices of the Hillel Foundation on“America Faces the Caesars.”Relate Mardi Gras ToBabylonian FestivalsFew Mardi Gras goers are awarethat they are witnessing a carnivalthat can be traced back to licentiousceremonies of the ancient world.The Mardi Gras appears to havehad its origin in the Festival of Sacaeain Babylon. One main feature of thisceremony was the sacrifice of an un¬lucky servant to the Gods. Doubtlessguided by a spirit of fairness, theBabylonians allowed him one week toreign as a mock king being in thewords of the Oxford sociologist,Frazer “arrayed in king’s attire andsuffered to use the king’s concubinesand give himself up to feasting anddebauchery without restraint.” At theend of this ancient hell week, he wasput out of his misery. The Greek geographer, Strabo, says of a similarfestival in Asia Minor that it was“as a Bacchic orgy at which theChapel Union Puts OnInformal Play PeriodInformality and the joy of life,claims the Chapel Union Council, markthe series of Friday afternoon partiesplanned by that organization. Yester¬day they announced a two hour all¬campus mixer for tomorrow afternoonin the Ida Noyes Theatre.Scheduled from 3 to 6, the mixer isthe medium through which the ChapelUnion council hopes to entertain thecampus and contribute to the winteriluarter social calendar.The afternoon function will, accord¬ing to the Council, be strictly informal.Sweatee and skirts are the appro¬priate costumes for the program ofdancing and games.This evening at 7 the Social Prob¬lems Council of the Chapel Unionmeets in the Chapel Office to discussvarious aspects presented in the lastViennese BaliSet for March 28 issue of the American Journal ofSociology.

Theless bloody aspects of the Saturnaliawere taken over by the Christians inItaly and later in France.As Frazer points out, the churchdid not interfere with the popularfestivals and “allowed the originalfestival disguised by a different dateto linger unmolested in the country.”These carnivals, which later becameknown as the “Mardi Gras” or “fatTuesday,” were probably introducedinto New Orleans either by thedoughty adventurers, Bienville andIberville, or were more likely broughtback from Europe by the sons ofwealthy southern aristocrats.“Krews”The colorful Mardi Gras paradesare sponsored by private secretorganizations known as “krews.” Thefloats on wheeled cars, which are 20feet long and 8 feet wide, are builtaround historical, legendary, andmythological themes. As in early NewOrleans, they are drawn by mules andheralded by about 600 torch lightbearers.

Norway and NetherlandsWhen one realizes, said ProfessorSchuman, that countries such as Nor¬way and the Netherlands “did nothingremotely resembling what the UnitedStates has done to hurt the cause ofthe axis states already,” we may seethat “we are going to wage war andif we win we shall win the world, andif we lose we shall lose all.” Said thespeaker, if those countries alreadyconquered “attacked” Germany thencertainly we, too, have done so.“The secret of axis success,” hecontinued, “is that they have healedthe breech between the rich and poor.”Such a schism has brought about “theparalysis in action of our democraticstates.” Professor Schuman felt, how¬ever, that their method of healingcould not be reconciled with the idealsof a democracy.Two groups have brought forth aprogram of appeasement as an answerto the Nazi threat, said the speaker.One a group purporting to representthe poor; the other, though not admit¬ting it, representing the interests ofthe rich.Farjeon Directs“The Circle" forThe DA WorkshopCouple Reunited—HappyMaroon Staff Wags TailSomething new in campus enter¬tainment is being sponsored by thenewly-formed Viennese Ball Commit¬tee.

For what is probably the first timein its history the University is re¬questing students not to study for oneof its exams. In fact, to make surethat no last minute cramming willtake place it has refused to state thesubject of the quiz.The purpose of the examination,which is to be given to a selected groupof students Monday morning, is todetermine just how much of the intro¬ductory courses is retained by thestudent. It is to be an inventory ofthe undergraduate mind. The resultswill be analyzed by the members ofthe teaching staff to determine whatportions of the selected survey arebest remembered by students who havebeen out of the course for varyinglengths of time.The information thus gathered willbe used in making any necessairyshifts of emphasis in the course infuture years.

The part which heplayed in the recent budget fight proved that inaddition to being a humane and generous friendto the constituents in his ward, he is a saga¬cious politician, and can influence the City Coun¬cil by the complete effectiveness of the account¬ing he renders, and by excellent rhetorical de¬vices.Paul Douglas would like to be the next may¬or of the city. Of that, from the affirmations ofhis friends and associates, there would seem tobe no doubt.Ready for the JobWhen he first entered his aldermanic post,he was not equipped for the job, nor did heknow the techniques necessary to get it. But inhis two years in the Council, he has learned agreat deal. He has learned how to deal withpoliticians. He has learned the necessity ofcompromise, and at the same time, has learnedthe art of effective bargaining.He has come to understand the organizationof the city’s politics, and the motives of itspoliticians. He has arrived at a far clearer real¬ization of what it will take to get a good govern¬ment in the city, and to maintain a “reform”government.At the present time, Douglas would appearto be by far the best candidate for the mayoralpost in the next election. He alone would beable to rid Chicago of its graft-riddled localpplitics, and maintain its essential loyalty tothe New Deal in national politics. As a succes¬sor to Kelly, he would be able to take at leastthe first steps in setting up efficient, economicaladministration, and there is no other man whoseems qualified to accomplish this most vitalfunction for Chicago citizens.Work Must BeginIt is too early to begin active demonstrationsof support for the candidacy of any man. Therewill not be a new mayor selected for almosttwo years. But it is not too early to begin mak¬ing plans to break up the Kelly-Nash machine,and substitute in its place a volunteer group ofsincere civic reformers. Such a task takes a longtime, even if the corrupt machine is beginningto crack, as the Kelly-Nash organization is.For those who agree with us that Douglasis the logical choice for the mayor of Chicagoin 1943, we advise that they begin to work now,that they may lay the groundwork for the bitterfight that is inevitably before them. If theywant Douglas for mayor, they are going tohave to fight, and fight hard, and they will haveto begin now. E. S.

The war powers bill,H.R. 1776, which is now before Con-(rress, is just such a measure as willhasten the advent of American fascismcoming to us in the guise of nationaldefense.In H.R. 1776, President Rooseveltdemands power to make secret dealswith any country, to' send “defense”articles in any amounts anywherewithout consulting Congress or thepeople, to “lease” our whole fleet andairforce to Britain.He demands power to seize foreignships in sanctuary in our harbors, andto outfit British battleships in ourports where Nazi submarines cannotpet at them without “attacking us.”He demands by the catch-all, not¬withstanding the provisions of anyother law,” power to cancel theJohnson Act, the Neutrality Act,thereby erasing the last letter ofneutrality.Demands PowerHe demands at the same time powerto promulgate such rules and regula¬tions as may be neces.sary to carryout any of the provisions of this act..All told, he demands a blank check toexercise war powers, destroy the tradeunions, civil liberties, and the Bill ofRights. These demands climax thedrive by which the president has stepby step swept America into unde-clariHl war. Each step was taken withthe understanding that “this is mylast unprecedented demand on Amer¬ica." Each step, until November 6, wastaken in the name of keeping out ofwar. But each step led to another: re¬vision 9f the neutrality act in Septem¬ber, ’.39; huge military preparations;proclamation of limited national emer¬gency; attacks on civil rights; peace¬time conscription; peace-time M-dayhoards; alliance with belligerent Can¬ada: the destroyer-bases coup.

He demands power of edict anddecree to cap the transit of munitionswith the transit of men. He demandsa license for dictatorship and a per¬manent lease on unrestricted power,Roosevelt speeds us, not towardthat “rendezvous with destiny” towardwhich he once beckoned our genera¬tion, but toward “blood, sweat, toil,and tears” of total war for markets,colonies, and empire.In the spirit of 1776-July 4, 1776—against all threats from within andwithout—our generation will defendits lease: on “life, liberty, and the pur¬suit of happiness.” We will insist, atthe side of the indestructible plainfolk of England, France, Germany,and Italy, that war by our govern¬ments shall be changed to peace bythe people: not an appeaser, imperial¬ist peace, but a just and democraticpeace.Students must join labor in demand¬ing a halt to Roosevelt’s program.“STOP THE WAR POWERS BILL.”“NO BLANK CHECKS, NO WARPOWERS, NO LICENSE FOR DIC¬TATORSHIP.” “IN THE SPIRIT OF1776, THE YANKS ARE NOT COM¬ING.”DON’T LOSE ASATURDAY NITEDATE......because ofuntidy hair duringthe week...I Boduty knows no holiday . . .

What is not sowell known is that, thanks to astro¬nomical tablets lately discovered, wecan establish a calendar for events inthe late Babylonian period with rare¬ly a probable error of a day, and wecan extend the calendar through 45A.D. by the repetition of cyclesproved hitherto correct.” From thiscalendar, a complete chronology of theministry of Jesus Christ has beenformed by Dr. Olmstead.Finding that Passover came in thelatter part of the week of the year30 A.D., with Nisan 14 being on April7, led to the discovery of the exactdate of the crucifixion. The fact thatChrist was born under Herod, whodied in 4 B.C., and the Jewish peoplenever claimed a religious leader untilhe was almost 50, would aid in plac¬ing the birth of Christ somewhere be¬tween 15 B.C. and 20 B.C., accordingto Dr. Olmstead; it would follow thenthat Christ was almost fifty when hedied on the cross.Olmstead ExplainsThe claim that St. John’s Gospel isthe earliest and most reliable of thefour is an opinion contrary to thetheory of most theologians that it isthe least authentic in picturingChrist’s life and was written at amuch later date than Matthew, Mark,or Luke. However, Dr. Olmstead ex¬plains his opposers’ objection by sug¬gesting that they have been led astrayfrom the real account in St. John bythe long speeches and comments fakedby the evangelist.The great disagreement over theorigin of Christianity by scholars firstled Dr. Olmstead to an investigationof the New Testament. With the ex¬ception of Eduard Meyer, up to thetime when Dr. 01m?tead began hisresearch a few years ago, no scholarhad looked at the New Testament inthe light of the historians curiosity“... determined to learn what had ac¬tually happened, almost contemptu¬ously indifferent of consequences,whether to religion, theology, philos¬ophy, or theory,” reads the text ofDr. Olmstead’s paper before his Bib.Lit. Colleagues.Applying Historical Method“I am not interested in the resultsbefore they are discovered,” said Dr.Olmstead at the close of the inter¬view, “I am simply concerned withapplying the historical method, which,after all, is merely common sense usedto discover facts about the past.”It is just this “common sense” em¬ployed by one of the most brillianthistorians of the time that is causingsuch a tumult in the minds of thetheologians, and has caused “Time”magazine to state, “Biblical criticismis indeed in for overhauling if Dr.Olmstead’s thesis is accepted.” Maroon SalesmenReport to HoatsonAll former Maroon subscriptionsalesmen and those selling subscrip¬tions for the Mardi Gras contest,please report to Jim Hoatson at theMaroon business office tomorrow from2:30 to 4:30 with subscription books.Mardi Gras—(Continued from page one)streets.

JANUARY 23. 1941Page FourTHE DAILY MAROON SPORTSGymnastics Team ToOpen Season FridayOne of the more potent athleticorganizations on the Quadranglesopens its season Friday night, whenthe gymnastics team meets SouthernIllinois Normal in Bartlett Gym at8:00 p. m.The meet, inaugurating the 1941season for the traditionally powerfulmuscle-men, will last for about anhour and a half, with 5 events on theslate.Southern Illinois Normal, ateachers college, is located near thewinter training quarters of a nation¬ally known circus. Consequently, theinterest in gymnastics approaches thefever heat shown by few other locali¬ties.The Maroons will send four veteransand one comparative newcomeragainst the little known Normalschool, with A1 Robertson and GlennPierre specializing. Robertson, thefinest tumbler to grace the HofFermenu in many seasons, will take careof the tumbling department. Pierreperforms on the parallel bars, sidehorse, and horizontal bar.Regan, the comparative newcomer,makes his entrance in the flying com¬petition, while the Shanken twins,Courtney and Earl, wheelhorses ofthe Chicago outfit, work on all fiveevents.Sponsor FigureSkating ClassBecause of the progressively in¬creasing interest shown i n figureskating by University students, thegeneral skating sessions on Tuesdayand Thursday evenings have been can¬celled. The periods for both nightshave been turned over to figure skat¬ing instruction.In line with the mounting attentionpaid to skating throughout the mid¬west, are the figures released by theathletic department on skating at theUniversity. Over 140 people are tak-ink figure skating lessons under theWest Stand, and 1754 general skatingtickets have been issued through Jan.19.' Men AheadThe women have requisitioned 739tickets, with the men getting 1015free ducats.A revised schedule has been ar¬ranged for the whole winter sportset-up for figure skating. The noviceclasses meet on Tuesday and Thurs¬day from 7:30 to 8:45, with the inter¬mediate section following the noviceson the ice on both days from 8:45 to10:00. The Intermediate class is opento anyone who can maneuver thebackward outside edge, and the for¬ward outside three.Mr. HoflFer and Athletic DirectorNelson Metcalf will ordinarily be onthe ice between 3:30 and 5:30 Mon¬day to Friday to help those who wishindividual advice. As I WasSaying-By BOB LAWSON ,At a fallow period in a columnistslife as always happens many times(even to good ones) I cleaned out mydesk drawer, interviewed people, andread ray mail to emerge with odd bitsof potpourri which may or may notbe interesting:* * *My boy, “A Former Big Ten Bas¬ketball Player,” responded again, butstill by mail. His identity intrigues mealthough I have a good idea of whomit is. He has no idea how his cheerylittle messages liven up my day. I amconsidering inserting a personal to lo¬cate him. “Come home. All is for¬given!”* * >i>Illinois is not unique in having awrestling captain, but it is unique inhaving the kind of captain it does.He is Ken (Farmer) Berry, 30 yearsof age, married eight years, andfather of four children. It must be in¬teresting to see the wife and wee onesexhorting Berry on to mayhem to wina varsity letter.* * *The Athletic Department is gripedand righteously so. They inauguratedthe free admission system to all ath¬letic contests for University studentsvoluntarily to give these students abreak. Even in such a university asthis, however, an obviously altruisticmeasure is violated.Students have been lending their C-passes to friends frequently, and Nel¬son Metcalf, athletic director, warnsthat such detected violations will notonly result in the discontinuance ofthis C-pass but will be entered on thegfuilty students’ personal record in theDean’s office.If students prefer to pay for admis¬sion to athletic events, they are here¬by advised to continue violating thisright they now possess, and, as sureas violators will be apprehended, freeadmission will be a thing of the past.* * *Although Wisconsin’s Gene Englundis leading the Big Ten in scoring with61 points in five games, Joe Stampfis tied for the lead with Frosty Sprowlof Purdue for the highest game aver¬age. Stampf and Sprowl have scored41 points in three games for a 13 2-3average. They are tied for fifth intotal points.Also notew'orthy is the fact that inthese same three games, Stampf hasbeen officially fouled 35 times, sinking23 foul shots and missing 12. Nexthighest in the leading 10 scorers inthe Conference is 26 on Englund.♦ ♦ •Over.shadowed by their male com¬patriots are the women fencers. Theteam usually turns out one or twooutstanding individuals, and this yearis no exception.Sunday Mary Elizabeth Grenandertook first place in the intermediatefoil events in a series of matches heldat the Lake Shore Atheltic Club un¬der the auspices of the AmateurFencers League of America. CarolynAllen took the junior foil event, in ad¬dition.Table Tennis CourseGiven at Ida NoyesDue to the great popularity of tabletennis, a four lesson course by Mr.Marvin Tucker is to be given begin¬ning January 29 and continuingthrough February 3, 5, and 10, at IdaNoyes.There will be two sections limitedto ten each, at 4:30 and 5. Registra¬tion preference will be given to wom¬en. Tucker will start with fundamen¬tals and progress to a review of thenewest techniques.Tucker has probably coached morepeople in table tennis than anyone inthe country. In 1934 he won the De¬troit city championship, and was aranking player until turning to coach¬ing. GLENN PIERRE“I shot for an eagle swing too early,went down on the wrong side of thebar. The bar hit me in the middle ofthe back, and I did a complete somer¬sault to land on the floor and breakmy wrist.”To most people this may all berather mystifying except for thebroken wrist, but to Glenn Pierre it ishis most vivid memory in almost fiveyears of gymnastics. It is not onewhich he would care to repeat, how¬ever.From LakeviewStarting in his junior year in Lake-view High School in one of the mostdifficult of all sports, Pierre has grad¬ually risen until this year he stands agood chance of winning a national col¬legiate championship.He is an all-arqund athlete as thelong list of sports in which he hascompeted can attest. He has takenpart in fencing, swimming, football,basketball, and ice skating. In fact, hewon two letters in high school infencing.Gymnastics BestHe likes gymnastics best because “ittakes more because of the fineness ofthe three essential qualities—timing,balance, and coordination.” That it hasbuilt him up physically is evidencedby the fine physique he has, unusualin one of such small stature. Hestands only 6’6” and weighs 140pounds but has a pair of shoulderswhich are an envy to many biggermen.His strength, good sense of coor¬dination, and great determinationstand him in good stead in this sportwhich requires a great deal of allthree. He captained the squad lastyear, but this year’s captain has notbeen elected as yet.Although competition will be stifferthis year in the National Collegiatemeet, Glenn will probably do betterthis year than last. After performingthe required set of exercises excellent¬ly in last year’s meet, his special setfell apart for some unknown reasonto put him out of the running. Addi¬tional experience and hard workmake him a good bet to finish highthis year, however, and also to placewell in the Big Ten meet. - Intramurals -The Soc. Ser.
