Psi U's Crash “Time";Carlson Also RunsDoc Jampolis and Hugh Rendle-man had their pictures in the pagesof Time Magazine this week. On anin.side page, their shining faceswere smiling into the camera aspart of a group picture.Also, incidentally, Anton J. Carl¬son had his picture in Time thisweek. He was not on an in.side page,however. There was a color portraitof him on the cover.A. J. or “vat iss the effidence” aswe and Time call him was likewisein the center of the Jampolis-Ren-dleman-medical .students group pic¬ture.The occasion of the picture wasan article about the renowned Dr.Carlson’s contributions to physiol¬ogy over a period of 66 years. Timealso rejoiced over the fact thatCarlson doesn’t like Hutchins evena little. They quoted him as sayingHutchins would have been a monkback in the good old Middle Ages.Elect SainsburyTo Head FlyersThe University of Chicago FlyingClub took another step toward organ¬ization at a membership meeting heldyesterday. Charles Sainsbury, a seniorin the Business School, was electedchairman of the group, to serve untilnext June.Immediately after his electionSainsbury appointed a committee tomeet with Thornton Page, an alumniadvisor for the group, to consider astatement of the aims and a definingof the membership requirements ofthe club. Among the problems con¬fronting the committee is whether theclub should be limited to Universitystudents or thrown open to all CAAtrainees.Defense: ^^U.S. MustChoose Type^^—RippyIsolationist or Long RangeVariety Present a DifficultProblem.“The United States must choose be¬tween two types of Western Hemi¬sphere defense’’, said J. Fred Rippy,Professor of American Histoi-y, in aninterview yesterday. “Either she mustchoose the long range variety whichinvolves all-out support of Great Brit¬ain and Greece and China or the iso¬lationist variety which advocates tak¬ing a stand somewhere this side ofEurope and waiting for the enemy toapproach in the hope the revolution(i.e. internal European) or Russia mayprevent the approach entirely,”Long Range Variety"The long range variety,” continuedRippy, “may slow down the develop¬ment of Pan-American economic sol¬idarity. It demands purchases fromAfrica and the Orient in order to sup¬port British finance. It demands hugeloans to Britain and China and Greeceinstead of loans for the economic uni¬fication of the Americas.”“Should both policies be pursued to¬gether; namely, must we divide ourpurchases and our loans between thetwo? At any rate,” added Rippy, “itis important to reach agreement in theWestern Hemisphere regarding thedefensive policy we are pursuing. Ifwe are following in the main the pol¬icy of long range defense, then LatinAmerica should be reconciled to thatpolicy so that Latin Amei-icans mayCorrectionHilda Norman, assistant professorof Romance Languages, listed by mis¬take as being opposed to the bill H. R.1776, signed the petition in favor ofthe bill. The Maroon copied the facul¬ty petition against the bill as it wasreceived from the group which circu¬lated the petition. J, F. Rippy... he talks on Pan-Americamake their contribution and be readyto confront whatever sacrifices thatare necessary, even following theUnited States into the war if the pol¬icy of supporting nations fighting theaggressors should eventually lead tomilitary participation.”A Difficult Problem“Although the keynote of the pres¬ent policy of the United States in re¬spect to Latin America is the effort tosecure the collaboration of the LatinAmericans in their defense and ours,America faces a difficult problem intrying to pacify trade-hungry LatinAmerica if she aids Britain or help¬ing Latin America and facing the riskof a British collapse,” concluded Rippy.Calvert ClubCalvert Club, Catholic Studentgroup on campus, is having a teadance Sunday, from 4 to 7 in IdaNoyes. Levarie Unveils "Armorer”In Mandel Sunday, MondayRandall ClassifiesNon-Student PositionRegarding Activities“There is no University regulationwhich states that a non-student can¬not belong to a student activity,” saidAssistant Dean of Students WilliamRandall in an interview yesterday. Thequestion was prompted by the hazesurrounding the question of the eligi¬bility of a non-student to work on acampus newspaper.Randall went on to say that as allstudent organizations are designed tofurther the education of the under¬graduate, the Dean’s office would dis¬solve any group that was obviously be¬ing run for the benefit of outsiders.Some ExceptionsThe mere participation of a fewoutsiders in a legitimate organization,however, would not result in any ac¬tion from the Dean’s office. There arerules that prohibit any but registeredstudents from holding responsible of¬fices in undergraduate organizationsbecause all dealings between the Uni¬versity administration and the organ¬izations are through these officers andthey represent the University’s solecontrol over the various campusgroups.Any student is eligible to partici¬pate in extra-curricular actvities evenif his grades are suffering because ofsuch participation. The University of¬ten “suggests” that students spendmore time studying but it never takesany official action. Neither does theadministration ever attempt to inter¬fere with organizations in an attemptto better them. “We are not interestedin the quality of the student news¬paper or debating society but ratherin the good students can get by work¬ing in such groups,” said Randall.Athletics Another MatterThe one exception to this ruling, ac¬cording to Randall, is in the field ofathletics. As the University is a mem¬ber of an athletic conference it mustfollow the rules made by that con¬ference and thus poor grades may bea reason for ineligibility to participatein Big Ten games.Wash Prom BidGoal Of BotanyPond BattleDink MacLellan and David Siebert,co-chairmen of the Washington Prom,raised quizzical eyebrows last nightas they contemplated holding the Del¬aware Crossing Derby at noon todayon frozen Botany Pond.The expanse of icy ponds puts un¬foreseen crimp in the contest for thefree bid to the Washington Prom, Sie¬bert admitted. When Allan Dreyfuss,originator of the crossing stunt, sub¬mitted his idea the Pond was semi-frozen and Siebert and MacLellan en¬thusiastically laid their plans for thetournament.A Thaw’ll Be Swell“If the pond doesn’t thaw,” moanedSiebert, “it’ll be easy to win a bid. Butif it does everything will be swell.”However, Siebert hinted that if thepond is solid today Dreyfuss may besent over just before the Derby tosoften the Pond’s surface with a sharpaxe.Several Iron Mask members, includ¬ing Art Bethke, Marshall Blumenthal,Bob Reynolds, and Jay Fox, will beamong the contestants. Should therebe more aspiring generals than Sie¬bert and MacLellan have anticipatedtwo races will be held and two bidsawarded.Queens Greet WinnersWhen the winners reach the op¬posite shoi-e, after having successful¬ly negotiated the ice without disquali¬fying themselves, they will be greetedby Jean Roff, Jean Kruder, Betsy Kuh,Betty-Jane Nelson, and Jean Hopkins.Jane Moran will act as starter, andRuth Steel will serve as judge. Levarie... he directs “Armorer”MissionaryWorker SpeaksTo InterchurchKatherine Parker, a missionary’sdaughter, born and raised in India, iscoming to the campus today as a guestof Interchurch Council.

Present Show That InspiredGilbert and Sullivan.The famous Gilbert and Sullivanoperas’ little-known progenitor will beunveiled for Chicagoans Sunday andMonday when “The Armorer” is pre¬sented at Mandel Hall on the Quad¬rangles by the University of ChicagoDepartment of Music.Dress rehearsal, in colorful 16thcentury costumes, of the style ofcomic opera rarely heard in the UnitedStates, will be held tonight on theMandel Hall stage.The production, a singspiel or talk¬ing-singing comic opera, by AlbertLortzing, was first presented in Vien¬na in 1846 and is credited with in¬spiring the Gilbert and Sullivan op¬eras. The University Symphony, andthe Swedish Choral club are assistingin the production which has a studentand professional cast.“The Armorer” is the story of a16th century Count who woos Marie,the beautiful daughter of a master-armorer of the town of Worms. Be¬cause her father considers him toohigh-born for Marie, the Count dis¬guises himself as an apprentice to thearmorer, and continues to woo Mariein both roles.The disguised Count’s poor work¬manship brings the armorer’s dis¬pleasure, in spite of Marie’s growinglove for the “apprentice”. The armorerresolves to wed Marie to his unwillingsecond apprentice, Gerard, who isreally the Count’s valet. Ensuing com¬plications provide plot for the comicopera.Dr. Siegmund Levarie, director ofthe University Symphony, is directingthe singers. Martin Magner, stage di¬rector of the Chicago Civic OperaCompany during the past season, willdirect the players.Edward S. AmesWill Speak AtChapel SundayDr. Edward S.

On Sunday and Monday nights, otherstudents in the music department will join withprofessional opera stars to present a perform¬ance of the seldom-played “Armorer.”These two outstanding contributions to thecultural life of the city should and undoubtedlywill be received gratefully. They portray dra¬matically the pioneer spirit of the music de¬partment, which has made it a policy to ventureout of the limited sphere of over-played popularclassical music, and to attempt the difficult,little known works that other musical groups inthe city have ignored.Not Enough TalentIt is to be regretted, although it probablycan be condoned, that there is not enough musi¬cal talent on campus so that the principals andcomplete chorus in “The Armorer” could beselected from among University students. Thefact that the technical direction and the orches¬tral music is being handled completely w'ithinthe Quadrangles, is, however, worthy of praise.An opera is an ambitious venture, and at¬tracts a great deal of attention, especially whenit is as different as Lortzing’s work. But thispresentation should not condemn to oblivion theother products of the department.Musicuum Too Long IgnoredThe less publicized Collegium Musicuumprograms and the traditional UniversitySymphony concerts have been too long takenfor granted by students, or else ignored bythem. They afford students a chance to hearmusic that otherwise they might not be ableto enjoy. They present, with reasonable skilland with remarkable sincerity, outstandingcompositions, and make them available to thewhole student body.At this time, when they are displaying soineof their rather remarkable initiative, it isespecially fitting that the music students andtheir teachers receive the praise of the Uni¬versity they so adequately represent, for allthe w^ork they do.E. S. L.Nervous ActivityBy JIM BURTLEPartly because several martyred amphibians hadtheir front and rear legs reversed, scientific men mayhave a better understanding of the relative importanceof experience and inheritance in the development ofnervous activities.In this series of experiments conducted by PaulWeiss, associate professor of Zoology, the animals withtheir legs reversed through removing and grafting,were placed in the unfortunate predicament of goingbackward when they wanted to go forward. However,according to Weiss, they “showed no trace of reeduca¬tion” and continued in this sad state of disorganizationthroughout life without making any important adjust¬ments.Experience Ruled OutWeiss concludes from these and other experimentsinvolving shifts in body parts, that the basic patternsof nervous activity are “preformed” and do not resultfrom experience. An experiment with rats performedby Roger W. Sperry, one of Weiss’ students, producedsimilar results. Weiss believes that these conclusions The Traveling BazaarBy PEECEE RUBINSA New Fadhas hit campus. It is called “you vote for my gal.I’ll vote for your boy” or the Mardi Gras contest. Thisis how it works. Georgia Hinchliff comes in and says—and we quote—“Do you mind if your six votes for RuthSteel are cast for Roy Oakley.” This being very verysudden we say “you mean the Phi Delta will give yousix votes for Rahill if you give them six votes forOakley.” “That’s right,” she says. And though it’s a pain¬ful operation we do it.Thenas you trip down the hall, minding your own business,you practically fall over John Bex, Eld Gustafson andDon McKnight surrounded by sixty W’yverns and anEskimo. The conversation runs like this—“if you castyour votes for Oakley we will give you the same numberof votes for Reynolds.” Afraid to eavesdrop, you whipon into the Maroon office where Donna Culliton is busycalling the four year college attempting to swing 250votes. This is strictly on the level and very brightof Culliton; however, Zens Smith has already decreedthat the four year college has no vote. Therefore theplan is axed.Other Little Gagsconsist of the Wyvern getting proxie votes fromfaculty members who really don’t give a darn aboutthe contest. What, we wonder, did the Wyverns offerthe boys for their votes. Or do you just walk in andask Hutchins, who has three votes, to send your galto New Orleans.Of Coursethe Quads and the Phi Psi’s ai^e busy trying to ar¬range the W’eidemanii-W’olfhope deal and if so all willbe happy as Hoatson has already been selected aschaperone for the couple.Last Minuteentries consist of Wendell W’illkie for whom JohnCox declared two votes.

DeVinney, sociologist; and Major A1Williams, aeronautical authority and columnist.regarding preformed patterns of nervous activity maybe true for all basic motor functions even in higheranimals.Weiss has also demonstrated that “drive” or activat¬ing force in the nervous system is not as is usually be¬lieved something that is entirely a result of outsidestimuli but is generated by incessant spontaneous activi¬ty which is only directed into different channels someof which are latent.Transplant Brain FragmentsWeiss reached these conclusions after a series of ex¬periments in which fragments of the brain and spinalcord were imbedded in indifferent tissue of amphibians.A limb was then transplanted into this vicinity andbecame connected to the transplanted nerve centers.These transplanted fragments register the almostspontaneous activity which Weiss believes is a generalcharacteristic of all nervous tissue. Lend-Lease OpposersLeave for CapitalIntent upon doing everything intheir power to defeat the Lease-Lendbill, thirty-seven students left thequadrangles yesterday bound forWashing^ton, D. C.

Lambert, the famous jit¬terbug exponent of the non-stop styleof basketball, has a comparativelysmall, but fast bunch of boys to throwagainst the Chicago guests.Coach Nels Norgren, unfazed bythe unfortunate breaks that have be¬set his quint in the season thus far,spent the last few days of respitebefore the Purdue onslaught with anintensive polishing program for theerratic Maroon floor game.

Shaver, the finest passeron the squad, has the disadvantage ofbeing a short man in a tall man’sleague. But Purdue does not presentan abnormally tall front, as did theBadgers in their victory here recently.Also, Shaver’s under-hand shot is nottoo effective when he is up again.st atowering defense.Norgen takes ten men with him toPurdue when the train pulls out ofthe I.C. station tomorrow morning.Besides the regulars, the Chicago out¬fit will carry Frank Siska, sophomorecenter, Bob Lifton, forward, JimmieCrosbie, and George Wilkerson at theguards.

Trackmen MeetIowa TomorrowA clear-cut advantage in the sprint,mile run, shot put, and high jumpevents is expected to give the Uni¬versity of Chicago’s track team victoryover Iowa’s Hawkeyes Saturday (Feb.8) at 2.30 p. m., when the Hawksopen their season by invading theMidway.Since both team are composed large¬ly of sophomores, however, the scoremay swing either way if lack of meetexperience takes its potential toll.Maroons StrongerThe Maroon team, stronger thisyear than in several seasons despitethe loss of veterans including JohnDavenport, former Conference dashchampion and a Big Ten meet pointwinner for three successive years, wasnosed out 54 ^ to 49 by Pudue inthe season opener last week.Iowa’s invaders include a pair ofsophomore middle distance runners,Ralph and Walter Todd, who are ex¬pected to fill the gap created by thegraduation of Iowa’s famous Teufeltwins. Ray Randall, Chicago’s bestmiler, has turned in as good time inthe 880 as the Todds and the raceshould be one of the high points of themeet.Randall, on the basis of his 4:28.8performance against Purdue, shouldtake the mile run without difficulty.Marrow FavoredDon Marrow, Maroon junior, is ac¬corded a good chance of winning the60-yafd dash, and Hugh Rendleman,Big Ten place winner in the last twoyears, should beat Henry Luebeke,Iowa’s mighty shot putter. Chicago’sCaptain Jim Ray is regarded as aneasy winner in the high jump, thoughhis broad jump efforts will meet stiffcompetition by Henry Clay, an ableHawk sophomore.Ken Steinbeck, of Iowa, and BobKincheloe, of Chicago, will battle itout on even terms in the pole vault,both having turned in 12 feet, 6-inchmarks this season.Chicago GymnastsMeet NebraskaVALENTINES DAYa week from todayOrder Now for Corsages & Cut FlowersMITZIE'SOpen evenings SaturdaysPhones:Midway 4020-4021 55th St.At Kimbark Chicago’s gymnasts, defeated byMinnesota’s Conference champions by40 point.®, a fairly close margin asgymnastics scores go, in the Big Tenseason opened at Minneapolis, returnto non-Conference competition, meet¬ing Nebraska tomorrow night at 8o’clock in Bartlett gymnasium.The defeat by the Gophers wastinged with hard luck. Captain GlennPierre, in executing a difficult maneu¬ver on the rings, kicked the ring awayand, consequently, fell from the ap¬paratus. As he had been doing wellup to that time, the accident probablycost the Maroons at least 20 points.A big surprise was the defeat ofbig A1 Robertson, veteran tumbler, byNewt Loken, junior ace of the Min¬nesota squad. It was Robertson’s fisrtdefeat this year.Lowken was the star of the meet,winning two other events in additionto the tumbling. Pierre was the onlyindividual Maroon winner as he tookthe parallel bars event.In addition to these two performers,the Shanken twins, Earl and Courtneywill perform all-around. Jim Deganwill compete in the rings event.In the absence of any outstandingindividual star on the Cornhuskerssquad, the Maroons stand a better-than-fair chance of returning to thewin column.The Maroons opened the seasonwith a decisive win over Southern Il¬linois Normal.

Addi¬tional sessions will be offered on Mon¬day, February 17, and Thursday, Feb¬ruary 20.TODAYis theLAST DAYtoVOTEin theMardi Gras Contest No For AnAnswerA BULL SESSIONBy PEREZ de SOLA ZAGORINDear Mr. Hutchins,I believe that many of the thingswhich you said in your radio speecha week or so ago were deeply sig¬nificant and entirely relevant to anydiscussion of American foreign policy.Certainly, there can be little doubtthat our present program can endonly in war, and that the words “shortof war” are “ominously missing fromthe president’s recent speeches.” Moretrue than anything else was your in¬sistence on filling the social and eco¬nomic needs of the American peoplebefore embarking in a war which isvery likely being fought for undem¬ocratic ends, on the side of a nationwhich repeatedly refuses to state itswar aims.I think that everything which yousaid in that speech you sincerely be¬lieve, and that you will back to thehilt your faith in a policy of nationaldefense based on a community ofprinciples and on real .social legisla¬tion.Now, Mr. Hutchins, I don’t thinkthat you will disagree when I say thatindividuals holding views such as oursought to look in their own vicinitiesand try to correct such abuses as ex¬ist there, at the same time as theypresent their positions on nationaland international affairs. Further, itis probably true that the good of thecommunity is as important as the goodof the nation.Because I know that you are inter¬ested in the development of democracyin your own community, I should liketo call your attention to certain con¬ditions existing at our universitywhich ought certainly to be changed.Firstly, there are the restrictions oncivil liberties which operate on ourcampus. Genuinely progressive organ¬izations such as the Campus PeaceCommittee are seriously hampered intheir work because of the bans againstleaflets and against open air meetings.We are told that these bans are pure¬ly the result of the inconveniencecaused Buildings and Grounds by leaf¬lets or meetings. Yet you must realize,I think, that in times like these, suchrestrictions are real violations of thecivil rights of students, and curtail¬ments of academic freedom.Then there is the anti-labor, anti¬union policy of the University. Work¬ers employed by the university aredischarged if they attempt to unionize,and the wage scale here is very lowcompared to the union scale. More¬over, the University Press gives con¬tracts to notorious open-shop, labor-hating concerns such as the LakesidePress.And again, there is negro discrim¬ination. No negroes are permitted tolive in the residence halls. The inter¬fraternity council excludes the negrofraternity from membership in its or¬ganization. School activities and socialaffairs are conspicuous for the absenceof negroes. Now it may be that someof these things are not official policiesof the University, but still all thesethings are true.This is a challenge to you, Mr.Hutchins. Do you believe in yourprinciples strongly enough to imple¬ment them, not only by speaking onthe radio, but by action at our schoolas well? I know that the students atthe University of Chicago have greatconfidence and trust in you. Certainlythe numbers of people whose views Ihave expressed in this column believein you. Give us a real testimony ofyour good faith, and show us that youcan act for what you believe.TOQ-(Continued from Page 3)Art Club, demonstration of paintingfrom life, Edmund Giesbert, Goodspeed108, 4:30.Hillel League, “Zionism in OurTime”, Rabbi S.

Pk. 6200Midway 0009EVENINGSupport the Anti-Hitler BiUPrinted by permission of the Chicago Daily News( advertisement)A vast campaign of misrepresentation is being conducted against theanti-Hitler bill, otherwise known as the lease-lend or aid-to-Britain bill. Someof this misrepresentation is merely ignorant. Some is malicious and deliberate.All of it hurts the cause of democracy, and helps the cause of Hitler.It is charged that the bill would make the President a dictator. That isnot true. We challenge the opponents of the bill to show what essential powerthe President would gain by this bill that he does not have already.It is charged that the bill would deprive Congress of it.s control over thepublic purse. This also is not true. On the contrary, in enacting the bill,Congress would be freely and intelligently manifesting its control over thepurse.It is charged, again, that the bill would deprive Congress of its powerto declare war. That, too, is false.Only Clongress, under the Constitution of the United States, may declarewar. Neither this bill nor any other bill can withdraw from (Congress thissovereign power.On the other hand, the conduct of our foreign affairs, by this same (Consti¬tution, is entrusted to the President. Congress cannot deprive him of thatresponsibility. And the President, and the President alone, is commander inchief of our Army and Navy. He can send the fleet wherever he likes. He canorder it to convoy ships, or to occupy strategic ports or islands, or to patrolcertain waters. Nothing in this bill, or any bill, can wrest from him thispower of command.The plain truth is that this bill can neither get us into war nor keep usout of war; nor can any other fiscal bill. If we get into war, it will be becausethe people will it. And if we stay out, that, too, will be because such is thepeople’s will. Meanwhile no man alive can say today what the sentiment ofthe people will be, three months, or six months, or a year from now, in circum¬stances that none can forsee.The purpose of the bill is extremely simple. It is intended to facilitate amihasten the execution of the national policy of aid to Britain, as the warabroad quickens and develops, without the necessity of holding a new full-dress debate in Congress every few weeks.The bill does imply a certain amount of confidence in the judgment andpatriotism of the President. But so does the Constitution; so does democracyitself. Who elected the President? Was it not the people? By what arrogancedo the opponents of the bill dare to assume that the duly constituted executivebranch of our government is compo.sed of knaves, fools and traitors, intentupon deceiving and betraying the people?And who are these opponents? Surely a crazier coalition was neveras.sembled! Come-lately German Nazis and Italian Fascists, left-winj?reformers fearful for their pet projects. Communists, pacifists, professionalAnglophobes, Socialists, anti-Semites, rabid partisans who hate Rooseveltmore than they hate Hitler, ostrich isolationists, and a scattering of timidcitizens afraid of they don’t know what—rallying around a few vociferousanti-Roosevelt Democrats and a band of squaw Republicans, to attack andcalumniate the United States government in a moment of national crisis!These are the same people, in the main, who were sure, in the springof 1939, that there would be no war; who then helped to bring it on by passing;the arms embargo in July, 1939; who, after the outbreak of war, tried to makeaid to Britain impossible by fighting repeal of the embargo; who then op¬posed conscription and criticized the destroyer deal. At every stage, they havebeen wrong. They are still wrong. Yet they are asking the nation now to be¬lieve that they are suddenly right, for once, and to accept their leader.shipagainst the government itself!These people, whether they know it or not—and some of them do—areperforming Hitler’s work in America. Hitler’s one aim here is so to confuseand befuddle public opinion that aid to Britain will be hampered and de¬layed. It is the same formula he employed on each of his intended victims.In every case, it has worked successfully—at least for a time. It is workinghere—obviously. Else why, in a time when national unity is essential, do wefind so many elements incessantly striving to block national policy and dis¬rupt national unity?For aid to Britain is the national policy. Obstruction to Hitler and Hitler¬ism is the national policy. Roosevelt favors it. Willkie favors it. Most Demo¬crats favor it. Most Republicans favor it. Sixty-eight per cent of the people,according to the Gallup poll, favor it even at risk of war. The West is for it;the East is for it; the South is for it; the Middle West—though by a smallerpercentage, thanks to the confusion created by Hitler and his unconsciousallies—is for it.If you personally are for it, write your congressman and your senatorstoday. Urge them to pass the anti-Hitler bill as quickly as possible. Don’t letthe opposition mislead the Congress and misrepresent the sound sense andtrue patriotism of the Middle West. Don’t leave Hitler any hope here.(advertisement)Write or telegraph your congressmen and senators to supportHR Bill 1776.
