Vol. 4I.No. 69 Z-149 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO. WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 19. 1941 Price Three CentsThe FraternityViewpointA BULL SESSIONBy Bob ReynoldsIt seems that there are certainstandard subjects of criticism; Hitler,political graft, reading periods, Hutch¬ins, and fraternities. Whenever thereis nothing left to say on any othertopic somebody usually turns up withan old hammer and starts beating outcliches against one of these unfor¬tunate items.At the moment fraternities are onthe hot seat because, as was claimedyesterday, they obscure the purpose ofthe Chicago type of education, nar¬row the scope of their members, andmire the young member’s energies ina tangle of useless activities. This lit¬tle disturbance will pass and not tworeaders will remember next weekwhat the trouble was.It was said that Chicaeo coursesare stimulating and that the diversi¬fied population of this campus isequally invigorating, but that the fra¬ternity man automatically passesthese by in favor of participating inathletics only for his house’s prestige,plays the role of a beer happy “fra¬ternity man,’’ and overemphasizes hiswork on Blackfriars, Social Commit¬tee, and Freshmen Orientation justbecause he joined a fraternity.Why don’t people who aren’t awareof the real purpose of a fraternitylook into the situation with more per¬spective. Most of the fraternity menon this campus are such because theyappreciate the values that come fromassociating with boys of computablepersonalities. They want comfortableliving quarters and they want to livewith men who are well balanced.It is true that few of the housesoffer any outstanding study induce¬ments that could be called scholasticpullmotors. But what have the inde¬pendents in the way of a stimulantthat would push them on to the landof the Phi Bete? There are just asmany lousy and mediocre studentsamong unaffiliated men as there are inthe Greek houses. As a matter of fact,the fraternity scholastic average, C, isequal to or higher than that of anyother group on campus.A poor student in the fraternityhouse would have been a poor studentin the dorms.Far too many people have observedfraternities on other campuses andthen tried to apply their observationsto the houses here. Chicago in thefirst place is not a fraternity school.Any influence and prestige they mayhave results mainly from the factthat they are social clubs. Anybodywho says they fallaciously stress thejoy boy life to the exclusion of stud¬ies just does not know his subject well.The boys in the various houses may bebounders but not solely because theyare fraternity men.The only thing a fraternity has todo to justify its existence is to providea comfortable, charming backgroundfor the member’s university life.vVhatever else may develop is extran-(Continued on page two)Refugee AidReorganizes;Plans DriveThe Student Refugee Aid Commit¬tee has completed its reorganization ofofficers and has announced its plansfor the near luture. Funds collectedwill be divided among the EuropeanStudent Service, the Far Eastern Stu¬dent Service, and a fund for Studentson campus here.First attempt to raise money will bea concentrated solicitation of residenceHalls and fraternities beginning Mon¬day, February 24, and culminating ina tag day Thursday, the 28.

Since it is necessary to have atleast a “d’’ average for initiation thislatter group will have to work doublyhard this quarter.Active club members on the wholeare encouraging the pledges to studyharder. Some clubs make it a pledgeduty to spend a certain number ofhours in the library in supervisedstudy. Several clubs have the pledgemothers see to it that their respectivepledges work, either by studying withthem, or by checking up on them. Oneclub offers a scholarship ring for thefreshman who makes the highest av¬erage for the year.Some ReasonsThe reasons given by freshmen fortheir low averages vary. Many foundadjustment difficult and took thewhole quarter to settle down. Somewere just having too much fun to both¬er with work. A few spent all theirtime meeting people during the dayand dating at night. Some not realiz¬ing that quarterly grades countedplanned to concentrate on the compre-hensives and let the quarterlies go.Blame Late RushingDelayed rushing is the reason givenby most girls for their non-interest instudies. They say that if rushing be¬gan earlier in the quarter and con¬sequently were over earlier, theywould not only be ready to settledown to study sooner, but it wouldalso take care of the problem of get¬ting acquainted, which is one of thebiggest of an entering students wor-(Continued on page four) . . supercharged for Mirror skit"Lads Rank With NeanderthalMen" Says "Most Dated" WomanPull your necks in, boys. There is asizeable group of women hereaboutsthat does not think University menare quite up to scratch as dates.They differed, not too violently butpolitely and firmly, from the opinionprinted last week which claimed thatthe typical man was usually aboveaverage as a date and more often thannot superior to the accepted collegiatestandard.At the Mortarboard party last Fri¬day a girl who probably is the mostdated woman on campus gently punc¬tured the boys by saying that in com¬parison with eastern university menthe local lads rated little above theNeanderthal class.Her ReasonsSaid she: “For some reason or otherthe Chicago men just don’t know howto conduct themselves in the littlematters that are very important togirls. They can’t seem to order a mealor handle a wine list, or remember thefine points about social conduct, likerising at the proper moments and keeping a dignified manner under dif¬ficult circumstances.’’Another doll fresh from the Quadparty at Lake Geneva was pretty ve¬hement in her outlookMajor Leaguers“If a man around here sees thathe isn’t going to be the number oneman in your league he immediatelydoes one of two things; he eithersulks and acts like a spoiled child orloses interest and wanders away leav¬ing you stranded...’’, she complains.By far the majority of the dissent¬ers agreed with these two, adding thatperhaps the men would be more in¬teresting if they did not believe thestuff they read in Dorothy Dix. Everyman, according to these girls, thinksthat a nice but bored silence on thelittle woman’s part is indicative ofenthralled attention.Kelly Hall“Completely false” was the way an official of Buildings and Grounds an¬swered a Maroon reporter’s query as to whether Kelly Hall was going to berazed, because it violated local fire ordinances.The rumor originated in other high quarters at the University, and per¬sisted in spite of the vehemence of the denial. Presumably Kelly would bereplaced by a new dormitory, constructed of materials approved by locallaws.The fifth floor of the dormitory was recently renovated in a desperateeffort to comply with the city laws. For awhile, according to the Maroon’ssource, city officials seemed to be appeased by this gesture. But pressure againwas put on University administrators, and despite the denial, the historicdormitory may still be pulled down. Give An EarGive them half a chance and theywill talk an ear off you. If you somuch as try to tell them they are allwet about some point they jump tothe conclusion that you are disagree¬able and a troublemaker.It is interesting to note that whilethe opinion of this group is scathingin most respects, they value the Chi¬cago men as a whole much more high¬ly than Northwestern men. The boysfrom the North side are usually sodull they could stand on the shores ofLake Michigan and let the ice rollover them without any idea of whatwas happening.APO Inducts NewPledges Tonight;Carlson to SpeakHonorary membership certificateswill be presented to several membersof the faculty at a smoker tonight at8 in the South Lounge of the Rey¬nolds Club by the service fraternity,APO. In addition, a number of stu¬dents will become pledges. They are,Jerry Carlson, James Alexander, JohnDuff, and Joe Simmler.

Since Mirror choruseshave been rehearsing for weeks, thismeans that production is fully underway.Directed by Dean Randall and star¬ring Mirror veteran Dick Himmel,skits range from burlesque to senti¬mentality, are rumored to be the mostpolished since the days of Norm Eat¬on.Burlesque Hutch, Adler“How to Read a Blonde”, a take offon Hutchins and Adler, features Him-mel and Eddie Armstrong, old DA’er.A romance about the 01’ South, “Vi¬cissitudes of Vermillion” stars RuthAhlquist, Dave Pletcher, Bob Stierer,Connie Florian and, Dick Himmel.“Pansy”, the skit about the beachincludes Himmel, Don Wilson, Henri¬etta Mahon, Mary Hammel, BlancheGraver, and Jim Tedrow, while SueBohnen and Marty Hansen carry onin “Proper Actions for a Young Ladyon a Hayride”.Milt Olin StarsMilt Olin, Ruth Ahlquist, RuthWehlan, Bob Highman, Helen Pearce,Frazier Rippy, Mary Laura Collins,Demarest Polacheck, Connie Florian,Bob Siemens and Bill Hochman gettogether for Mirror’s “sentimental”sketch, “Dearly Beloved”.Mirror Board acts out “Those Wom¬en” a skit which Mirror Board wroteabout Mirror Board.

The amalgamation of the AmericanProblems Council with the Youth For Democ¬racy group showed intelligent realization thatone strong group could be far more effective ineducating students and holding their interestthan two disunited organizations.It is distinctly disturbing, therefore, to learnthat tentative plans have been made for retrac¬ing the wise step, almost before it has beentaken. We cannot be gratified to learn that alocal chapter of the Aid the Allies committeehas been suggested to supplement the work ofthe new Youth for Democracy body.Few PinksApparently the reason for organizing a sep¬arate committee is to get a group which will becompletely free of the taint of radicalism, andso will be able to be more effective. If this isthe only reason, it is unnecessary because al¬most all of the radicals today are on the isola¬tionist side in opposition to aid to the allies.Only the mildest of campus “pinks” agree withthe administration’s policy of aid to Britain, andthey serve to add representativeness to Youthfor Democracy.The existence of two committees, both serv¬ing the same purposes, is harmful to the effec¬tive achievement of those purposes. Especiallywhen, as is planned in the new Committee, mem¬bership will be largely duplicated, does interestquickly lag. Efforts are divided between bothgroups, with the result that neither is able toeffectuate its program. Dissipation of ideasmeans ineffectiveness.Two Too ManyThere are too many ineffective organizationson the Quadrangles already. It annoys us con¬siderably, therefore, to learn that an effort atconsolidating and increasing efficiency is beingrepudiated before it has even been given a trial.E. S. L.Pie-Eyed PublicityThe Washington Prom is a noble institution,which the Maroon Board along with their wives,families, and the rest of the campus is earnestlydesirous of attendingSince this is true, we are venturing a mildremonstrance and wagging a finger of shame atthe diligent young man who planned the GWPsmost recent publicity stunt.Undergraduate Dignity NilThe almost non-existent undergraduate dig¬nity was insulted once more when pictures weretaken for the down-town papers showing Mid¬way masochists burying their faces in a bog ofcherry pie for a free Prom bid. Almost certainlyno more people will go to the Prom because ofthe stunt, and probably the lay opinion of under¬graduate intelligence will be justifiably loweredagain.Kid StuntThe pie-eaters were funny, in a disgustingsort of way, but we were again pleasantly re¬minded of the Freshman Council pie-eating con¬test of two yeai’s ago in which the Freshmanpresident easily out-gorged a large, rotund pig.E. S. L. The Traveling BazaarBy DICK HIMMELA New Game. . . called “fill-in” is being started in the Bazaar today.The idea is this: I write a normal column (no cracks,please) leaving out a crucial word and name here andthere. You fill in the blank space. When you get it done,rip out the column and stick it in faculty exchange la¬beled “Bazaar,” Daily Maroon. Special prizes will beawarded, so let’s all play.Yesterday... I was out of school with a slight I missedtelling about the Mortar Brawl which shared doublebilling at the Merchants and Manufacturers Club at theMdse Mart with the Pinsky Carpet Co. No one at the MBparty saw anybody from the Pinsky party, but it wasrumored the MBs were better than the PinskyThe only drunk person there was JackShilton was the most amazed stag who walked into theparty and said, “Where the hell are the Mortar Boards.”The Mortar Boards were all in the Mary Ryersonhas Don Brown’s pin for the time.

Much practice time has beenlost due to this ailment. This nationaltitle is the only such title held at pres¬ent by a Chicago athlete.

All except the Indiana gameare traveling contests for the Maroonfive. Joe has counted on 66 charitytosses, which is seven more than histitle total last year.If Joe wins the conference baskettitle, the records will present the un¬usual picture of the most potent hoopartist in the league winning hislaurels while competing on a hopeless,cellar-dwelling quintet.By BOB LAWSONAfter a few bad years the Chicagotrack team is definitely on the way up.Both the Purdue and Iowa track meetsshowed that. They will not threatenIndiana or Michigan this year or nextyear, but they will have a lot more tosay in the Coriference meets than theyhave in recent years.Hugh Rendleman served notice onBig Ten shot putters that he is betterthan he ever was when he tossed theshot 48 feet, 11 inches for a new Chi- icago record against Iowa. As a soph¬omore he took third in the Conferenceand fifth last year.Randall PromisingIn sophomore Ray Randall the Ma¬roons have a middle-distance man whowill make himself known before hegraduates. He ran a nice race in themile, although he won in the slowtime of 4:33.6. Up against another finesophomore, Walter Todd, in the half-mile Randall was nipped at the tapeand lost by three inches. His inexpe¬rience showed in this race and will un¬doubtedly pop up again, especially inConference meets when he will be run¬ning against very cagy opponents. Al¬though he ran a smart race when heplaced fourth in the 1500-meter runin the Illinois Relays Saturday.Captain Jim Ray is again showing asteadying influence on the team andis a consistent point winner. Hedoesn’t win many firsts, but he doesgarner points. The high jump is hisspecialty, and he should place in theindoor meet.High School StarWalt Fairservis started in the two-mile race but dropped out with acramp in his leg. He has only beenpracticing about a month and isn’t inthe best of shape yet. In high schoolhe ran a 4:25 mile and has run twomiles in ten minutes flat. When hegets into condition, Chicago will havethe best two-miler it has had in years.Don Marrow and Bud Long are bothgood sprinters, handicapped by lackof condition. Marrow, city championof Chicago while at Schurz, is handi¬capped by bad legs and hasn’t beenable to reach the time he should.

Since thattime third parties, notably the gov¬ernment have at times tried to putwire tapping on a business basis. Lat¬est effort in that direction comes fromG-Man J. Edgar Hoover, who has re¬quested the legalization of wiretap¬ping in major crimes such as espion¬age, sabotage, and kidnapping.Hoovers’ request brings into focusa broad problem of civil liberties.George James, assistant dean of theLaw School, points out that the pres¬ent Federal Communications Act out¬laws wiretapping, and evidence ob¬tained through that method is inad-missable in Federal Courts.Ernst Puttkammer, Professor ofLaw, is of the opinion that the dangerin wiretapping lies in its administra¬tion. He feels that serious abuses candevelop. In a recent speech in whichhe touched on the subject, Puttkam¬mer said that the bars to wiretappingshould be kept up in cases wheremaximum dangers to civil rights isapparent, but possibly restrictions canbe relaxed in cases where evidence soobtained corroborates other strongevidence.Club Girls—(Continued from page one)ries. Earlier rushing would also com¬plete orientation in an easier and moresatisfactory way for the girl, in thatshe would sooner have the “definitefeeling of belonging and of self-con¬fidence that membership in a clubgives.”The survey also shows that thefreshman class as a whole is moresocial minded and “collegiate” thisyear than in former years. The thing to avoid says Putkammer,is a witch hunt where wires are tappedindiscriminately in the hopes of “get¬ting something” on someone. Carefulconsideration should be given theproblem and sudden action understress should be avoided.Interchurch CouncilDiscusses WarInterchurch Council will sponsor apanel of student speakers on the Sub¬ject, “Christian Attitudes Toward theWar,” this evening at 7:30 in IdaNoyes. Later the Forum of the SouthShore Presbyterian Church at 2824East 76 Street will lead barn danc¬ing.Speakers in the discussion will beClaire Lackey, Norma Evans, AlbertIde, Herbert Bingham, and Otto Trei-bel.
