Purdue admin¬istered the fifth defeat Saturday nightin Ijifayette, 48 to 36.Although mini used three centers,they were not able to stop big JoeStampf from propping in sixteenpoints for individual honors of theevening. Little Hal Shapiro paced thewinners with 10 points.Rough GameAlthough the officials called only 29fouls, the game was a rough one. TheIllinois attack was based upon thescreen play, but there probablyweren’t more than five plays all eve¬ning which actually used screens.They put on an exhibition of blockingthat would have been a credit to anybig college football team in the coun¬try. Chicago men were literally riddenout of every play on the shoulder ofone or more Illinois men.Despite the loss of key-men HenrySachs and “Hoot” Evers, the llliniwere superior in every department ofplay to the hapless Maroons. Theirheight gave them virtually unques¬tioned control of the backboards withfollow-up shots accounting for most oftheir points. The Maroon defense waspicked to pieces by the fast breakcombined with the superb blocking.Chicago’s shooting was bad, with evenset-up shots missing.(Continued on page three)MNEUPS:Chicago FfFt PINelson, f 2 1Kons, f t ] ‘Stampf, c 8 a zCrosbie. g ® J *Wageiiburg. K f ‘ fShaver, f 0 1 8McMahon, g ... 0 0 1 Murrah, Ahlquist,Polacheck Make DA"Circle" Into HitBy MARK FISHERThe Workshop has finally found it¬self in the happy situation of having agood comedy and a cast with at leastpart of its members worthy of theirlines. The production of “The Circle,”seen at dress rehearsal last night, isblessed with a rare DA phenomenon,comedy that isn’t burlesque.Three of the roles in Maugham’ssatirical comedy of English societywere superbly well played. Ruth Ahl-quist’s Lady Kitty was little short ofprofessional, Demarest Polacheckwas, as usual, effective and impressive,and Charles Murrah played the partof an old dissipated Englishman sowell that you forgot the obviousmake-up lines on his face. This triocarries the whole play. When any oneof them are on the stage, the pro¬duction is worth watching, and whenthey get the stage to themselves theyput on the best theatre that any work¬shop follower is likely to find in morethan one quarter.Others SpottyThe remainder of the cast neverreach any of the above three but man¬age to turn in run-of-the-mill-per¬formances. Walter Wiltler, playing hisfirst role, is spotty and fails to availhimself of anywhere near the amountof comedy in his role. The role of hiswife, played by Jeanne Robin, falls in-to about the same category; she isgood in spots but suffers greatly froma lack of proper stage presence. Per¬haps the greatest disappointment ofthe cast was Bob Stierer. His TeddyLuton somehow lacked any vitalityand realism. Pat Smith had an unin¬teresting bit and left it at just that.Praises RippyCredit is due to the one remainingmember of the cast, Frazier Rippy, ontwo counts; one for turning in thefirst decent butler’s performance inrecent Workshop history and the oth¬er for executing a realistic and pleas¬ing set. To director Grace Farjeongoes credit for a worthwhile and en¬tertaining show.Taken as a whole the show is good.It cannot grow worse in actual produc¬tion than it was in the rehearsal andit should be better. But even if noneof the less experienced members ofthe cast fail to improve when actual¬ly under fire, the play will be worthseeing if only to watch Ahlquist flut¬ter, Polacheck laugh, and Murrahgrumble.New WomenPrefer Mixers,Demand PicnicsBy RICHARD PHILBRICKFreshmen women like dates in greatbig gulps, or so it would seem fromfindings just made public by the Fed¬eration of University Women. Forthey listed mixers and bam dances asthe most enjoyable features of Fresh¬men Week. Some bold girls even sug¬gested that upperclassmen, and wedon’t mean girls, should be allowed toattend these mixers.In fact one of the more sophisticat¬ed suggested a date bureau and stillanother thought Freshmen girlsshould have more chances to meet up-perclass men. And then there were thepajama parties, yes they liked themvery much even though there wereno men there.And exams, they’re wonderful, saidseven of the girls, but most of thesisters of ’44, ala«, thought otherwise.Deah, Deah. Just for the record, theyliked teas and dinners and the Pres¬ident’s Reception, too. (“Gosh, he’shand8('me!”)Of course, there were some a^'pectsof Freshmen Week they didn’t like,such as tests, for instance and crowd¬ed dinners, and girls activity leaderswithout loud voices. And then theymade some more suggestions. Theyclamoured, they positively yelled, ifWe are to believe the report, for apicnic, with men, of course. In fact,as Henrietta Mahon remarked, “theyare a very social clasjs.” We are forcedto agree. Mirror TicketsOn Sale TodayAt Box OfficeHear ye! Hear Ye!

Randall.At Inter-Club Ball Friday contest-manager Hoatson announced thatPatty Wolfhope and Dave Wiedemannwould spend a week in New Orleanscelebrating the Mardi Gras as guestsof the Illinois Central. Lovell is Busi¬ness Manager of the Daily Maroon,which sponsored the contest, and MaryHammel, an Esoteric and member ofNu Pi Sigma, witnessed the countingof the votes.Claim 300 VotesPhi Delta Ken Axelson and Don Mc-Knight claimed that candidate RayOakley had polled over 300 votes,while the winning tally as officiallyannounced was only 143 for Wiede¬mann.

TheBoard is convinced that it was honest;the tickets have already been made outto the winners; interest in a futurecontest would be at a minimum.Customary Eligibility RulesThis election was similar to previouspopularity contests run by the Maroonto bolster subscription. Only subscrib¬ers or salesmen were eligible to castballots for candidates.The winners are a familiar couple tocampus socialites.

We ad¬mitted in our report of the findings of our pollthat these results were not entirely accurate.Their inaccuracy, according to our watcherswas caused by pressure voting from groups infavor of an isolationist policy. Actually, if stu¬dent opinion could be sampled completely ac¬curately and only the most careful of Galluptechniques could achieve this end on such acontroversial question as this, we feel that therewould be a slight majority of students on theother side.This is probably true, but it is not of.vitalimportance, except insofar as it lends additionalweight to our claim. But, even taking the pollresults as accurate, the group in Washingtonstill did not represent student opinion.How Many?At best it could have represented the opinionof slightly more than half of the students. Butof those 50-odd per cent who voted against thelease-lend bill, relatively few feel as did thosewho actually went to Washington, that the waris nothing but an “imperialist” conflict. Rela¬tively few feel that aid should be witheld, that aGerman victory would make no difference any¬how because Britain is a plutocracy, and is asguilty as Germany in the present strife.This should be enough to completely disqual¬ify them as University representatives. If itis not, we feel certain that their unruly actions,their complete disrespect for the legislativeprocesses of the Congress should prove themunlike the rest of the students on campus. Wehope that we can honestly set the disorderlyelement apart as being unlike the typical mem¬ber of the University.The group that went to Washington made ex¬hibitions of themselves. They used tacticswhich are most odious to us at the University.We should like to publicly renounce them asour “respresentatives.” E. S. L.About A LetterWe received an excellent letter over the week¬end which offered a humorous and telling criti¬cism of the way that members of Skull andCrescent are distributing the profits of theirdance.We should have printed the letter in today'sissue except for the fact that it bore a fakesignature. “Joe Grind,” our anonymous contrib¬utor had something to say. We are sure thathe has the courage to say it in person.Because it is a direct violation of our policy,and that of practically every other newspaper,we cannot print the letter in its present form.We should like to print it. Therefore, we re¬quest the person who wrote the letter to comeinto the office any time today, and leave hisname with any member of the Board.E. S. L. Inter-Club. . . was the best yet.

The victorywas the second consecutive one againstBig Ten competition.Chicago fared worst in the foilevents when Bob Kraybill lost histhree bouts while Co-captain HerbertRuben and Ben Fritz each won twoand lost one bout.Much better were the results in the Gymnasts DownNebraska Team497-441Atoning for their ignoble tour toMinnesota last week, Coach D. L. Hof-fer’s Maroon gymnastics team wreak¬ed their vengeance on Nebraska Sat¬urday night, winning the meet by a497-441 score.The bar and ring men took all thefirsts, and failed in only one instanceto capture the second spots. The tour¬ing Cornhuskers garnered most oftheir points in the third, fourth, andfifth place categories.Early LeadChicago jumped to a lead early inthe match, with Glenn Pierre and EarlShanken taking the initial two postsin the horizontal bar event.

Southwick managedto win a fourth place set of points.A1 Robertson, performing in his ac¬customed manner now that he is backin his own bailiwick, romped throughthe opposition in the tumbling contest.Courtney Shanken, who has become amost adept man on an assortment ofgym apparatus, took the spot behindbig Al.

But thiscould not offset the fact that relative¬ly every visitor was outstanding.The only department in which Chi¬cago was able to keep pace with thewinners was in the fouling. The of¬ficials were lax and provided the worstofficiating seen on the fieldhouse floorthis season. “Fifth down” John Getch-ell and Lyle Clarne were the officials.Best Average Stampf’sStampf’s 16 points last night and14 against Purdue give him 85 pointsin six games for an average of 14.2per game, easily the best in the Con¬ference. Previous to last night’s gamesGene Englund of Wisconsin had a 12.8average for second place, althoughDick Fisher of Ohio State is leading inindividual scoring.The Purdue victory proved costlyfor the Boilermakers Saturday nightwhen Bob Igney and Don Blankenwere forced out of the game with in¬juries.

TUESDAY. FEBRUARY II. 1941Music DepartmentScores Witli 'Armorer*By DONALD CRONSONAn excellent cast and a clever English translation helped to make Lort-zing’s opera “The Armorer,” produced Sunday and Monday in Mandel Hall,a complete success. Henrietta Chase, who played the part of Marie, has abeautiful voice, and played her half flighty-half ingenue role very well. RobertSpiro was dashing as the Count, although his acting sometimes fell shortof the mark.Lawyers ArgueBumtMustacheIn Moot CourtA man walked into a drug store,bought a package of cigarettes, openedit, lit the first one, and found it blewup in his face and burnt his mustache.Could he get damages from the manu¬facturer? The pros and cons of thecase will be argued by Bill Thompsonand Dick Watt of the Law School be¬fore the second series of moot courtsopening February 24.Second Year MenThe moot court is a Law School in¬stitution designed to give second yearmen an opportunity to develop re¬search methods and receive oral train¬ing. They are given a case to arguein each of the two series. The firstgroup, just completed, consists of anappeal concerning a hypothetical factsituation. It was judged by a panel ofthree—one member of the Barristers’Club and two second year men. Thesecond series, which will run fromFebruary 24 to March 14, is an appealfrom an actual case recently tried inthe courts of the nation. Its panel offive judges include a prominent down¬town attorney or judge and four sec¬ond year men. The students are givenone-half hour to speak, and a ten min¬ute rebuttal. The trials are open to allvisitors, and are run by Forrest Drum¬mond, faculty member in charge.Cuba CruiseAnother case eagerly awaited con¬cerns the wife of a prominent NewYork doctor who went astray on acruise to Cuba, via a cabin boy. Thecase evolves around her giving or notgiving consent, and will be argued byJack Broad and Dudly Zinke. Worthy of credit is Martin Magner,the stage manager, who had theamusing horseplay on the stage work¬ed out perfectly. Also excellent werethe two leading comic characters, PaulFinn as Gerard, the Count’s valet, andWinifred Stracke as Stadinger, theArmorer.Would-Be MozartNo great shakes musically, theopera sounds like would-be Mozartwith a little 19th century romanticismthrown in. However, the score is brim¬ming with many enjoyable tuneswhich ably assist in helping along theplot.A great success was MarjorieBrown’s encore verses of Stadinger’sthird act aria, dealing with such greatproblems which beset 16th centuryGermany as the draft, and the im¬poverished condition of Chicago’s foot¬ball team.Successful Choral ProgramSwelled and swell was the Univer¬sity Choir which greeted ChicagoSymphony patrons last Thursday andFriday. Refusing to play around. MackEvans and his choral group success¬fully tackled three difficult composi¬tions, Debussy’s “Sirenes”, Vaughn-Williams’ “Magnificat”, and Kodaly’s“Psalmus Hungaricus”. Especiallywell done was the last of these, inwhich the composer ably combinesmedieval modality and 20th centurypolytonality.Show “Secret Agent”Showing on the International HouseAssembly Hall screen Tuesday, an¬other Alfred Hitchcock picture, “Se¬cret Agent”, promises to attract thosefans who applauded “The 39 Steps”and “Lady Vanishes.” The cast in¬cludes John Gielgud, Peter Lorre,Madeleine Carroll and Rol)ert Young.A matinee at 4:30 (35c) and an eve¬ning performance at 8:30 (50c) willbe featured.In Defense Of MyselfA Bull SessionBy FREDERICK SCHUMANBoard of Control:As a loyal alumnus of the Univer¬sity of Chicago and a sincere admirerof The Daily Maroon, I have perusedBernard Schachtman’s column in theissue of February 5 with some per¬turbation. My concern does not springfrom Mr. Schachtman’s anxiety lest Imay myself be the victim of the schi¬zophrenia which is the universal dis¬order of our time. All of us share it ingreater or lesser degree. But I amwondering whether any considerablenumber of students on the Midway,despite the valiant efforts of the bestSocial Science Division in any Amer¬ican University, are really as ignorantof the more elementary facts of lifeas the column would seem to imply.Here again, in the words of JusticeHolmes, “the vindication of the ob¬vious is sometimes more importantthan the elucidation of the obscure.”Someone should inform Mr. Schacht-man without delay that there is a wargoing on for mastery of the world.American action with respect to thiswar has been modified and redirectedinto a channel of policy now supportedby a united nation — Communists,Bundists, Norman Thomas and a fewRepublican Congressmen excepted.That policy is to give aid to Britain,Greece, China et al, not because theyare democracies but because their de¬feat by the Triplice will leave Amer¬ica in helpless isolation. This policycan have no sane purpose save thatof defeating the war machines of Ger¬many, Italy and Japan. The policymay be pursued vigorously and wise¬ly, or weakly and stupidly. In theformer case it will achieve its purpose,in the latter case it will not. Whetherthis course will involve America in“war” will depend upon Berlin, Romeand Tokio. The Triple Alliance pact ofSeptember 27, 1940, as interpreted byRibbentrop, threatens war upon anyState which “harbors the intention ofmixing in the final phase of the solu¬tion of the problems of Europe orEastern Asia.” The government andpeople of the United States are al¬ready committed irrevocably to .«ucb an intention. The Triplice will makewar on the United States when itsleaders get ready to.Someone should also inform Mr.Schachtman that Chamberlain is dead,Halifax is in Washington, and Church¬ill is Prime Minister in a Cabinet in¬cluding Socialists B e v i n, Attlee,Greenwood, Alexander and Morrison.The “fate of time democracy” does infact rest precisely in the hands of“such people” — and they will definetheir plans for a new social order anda world federation as soon as the ToryColonel Blimps at home and the ToryColonel Lindberghs and MacCormicksof the United States can be educatedto a grasp of realities or politicallyoutflanked by enough common menand women who know what is atstake. Hitler and his allies will eitherwin or lose their* war. If they win,democracy everywhere will be foreverlost and both the United States andthe Soviet Union will be ripe for thekill. If they lose,| new adventures indemocratic reconstruction will be pos¬sible in a new world. Whether theywin or,lose will depend upon whetherAmericans know what they want andknow what they are doing and mustdo so. There is no middle ground andno other choice.Dr. Hutchins is a great universitypresident. Profes.sor Anton J. Carlsonis a great physiologist. Mr. Schacht¬man may be a great columnist. It isjust barely conceivable, however, that.social scienti.sts and specialists in thestudy of foreign policy and worldpolitics may be better able than pres¬idents, physiologists and columnists tomake correct analyses of why we arein the mess we are in. And if our col¬lective intelligence is to feeble or be¬fuddled for correct analyses and rel¬evant conclusions, then the game is upfor everybody save the barbarians.They know what they want and whatthey are doing and why. They arequite capable of correct analyses andrelevant conclusions. Whether we areequally capable will be the test ofwhether we are fit to survive.
