Vol. 41. No. 73 Z-149 THE DAILY MAROON. THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 27. 1941 Price Three CentsBy Dan MecUyMany students, since reading lastweek’s Bull Session on the social in¬tegration of independents and the for¬mation of a club of independent menknown as The Circle, have expressedan interest in such an organizationand therefore wish to* know moreabout it.Members of The Circle, which wasorganized last quarter, meet everyWednesday evening in the ReynoldsClub, during which they conduct dis¬cussions pertaining to social, culturaland athletic events that they haveparticipated in. Since the group wasorganized for the purpose of promot¬ing campus social integration, espe¬cially among independents, the discus¬sions usually center on this aim.Increase in MembershipThe most aggressive action at pres¬ent in regard to campus social integra¬tion is the continual increase in mem¬bership, an increase which averagesabout two persons per week. It isplanned that with the increase in mem¬bers hip, the magnitude of social func¬tions will correspondingly increase.The social functions that the groupparticipate in are provinqial for themoment, in order to give the organiza¬tion an opportunity to stand on itsown feet for a while, and thereby bet¬ter prepare it for the eventual promul¬gation of its complete program, partof which was mentioned in last week’sBull Session. This program, amongother things, provides for helping awomen’s club become organized, whichmay later operate in conjunction withThe Circle. Social events thus far haveincluded attending basketball games,downtown plays, and having informalmen’s stags at the homes of the mem¬bers. New, diverse social events havebeen planned, one of which is the massblind date affair given at Ida Noyesla.st night. .Cultural ProgramAs for the cultural part of the pro¬gram, the group meets for lunch in aroom adjoining Hutchinson Commonsonce a week. After the meal is over,members discuss a topic which hasbeen decided upon at the previousmeeting. Such topics include, “The Ef¬fect of Sophistication on the Progressof Civilization’’, “The Reasons for theRise of Hitler’’, and “Frustration as aResult of Culture Conflicts BetweenImmigrant Groups and NativeGroups.’’ Occasionally, a guest lecturerpresents a short talk on a subject thatthe members are interested in. Pro¬fessors Gosnell and Borgese have con¬sented to discuss topics on nationalevents.Initiation and DuesAll activities of the club are madeus economical as possible. Lifetimeinitiation fee is 60 cents and dues are50 cents a quarter. The luncheons andthe meetings are open to all campusstudents. Membership qualifications donot include religious, racial, or eco¬nomical discriminations.Members of the organization are,Herbert Leavitt, Harold Veronda, Boband Angelo Geocaris, Dan Mezlay,Caroll Morrison, Stanley Dybvig, Jer¬ome Levitt, Henry Tropp, Mai'vinLesht, Ed Spaulding, Harry Burk, LouLevit, Jack Seeley, Romould Picner-sky, Pete Pallis, Jack Davidson, BobI-andry, Dave Probert, Norman Pink-ort, Julius Levinson, Marvin Levin,Dave Heller, Stanley Silk, and JoeEpstein. Paul Moritz SpeaksTo Refugee AidCommittee WorkersHigh points of the Refugee AidCommittee’s drive for funds takesplace today and tomorrow. Today at3:80, Paul Moritz will address work¬ers in Ida Noyes library on RefugeeWork, with particular reference toChina.Moritz is a graduate of the Univer¬sity of Kansas. He attended the Am¬sterdam conference in Holland justafter the outbreak of war. Fromthere, as an exchange student of theChristian Association of America,China, and Japan, he went to Chinawhere he has been studying the workof Chinese youth under present cir¬cumstances.Tomorrow, there will be tables inMandel, Cobb, and Harper where tagswill be sold. There will also be abouttwenty-one stations at importantplaces on campus so that studentswill be sure to have an opportunityto contribute.The student committee is tiding toraise two thousand dollars withoutoutside help to contribute to the gen¬eral fund, and cooperation today andtomorrow will be appreciated.Towey Plays forBasketball Dance Science And Bible SubjectOf Proposed Radio ProgramsRichard S. Pickthe classics on the guitarA grand finale to the Mirror RevueFriday, will be the season’s last bas¬ketball dance, featuring the music ofa campus orchestra, —Chuck Towey’s.As Towey’s organization will also pro¬vide music for the revue, the dancewill be more or less an extension ofthe glamor show. An added attractionwill be request numbers by some ofthe stars. _Towey, who in off-moments acts asstudent manager to the UniversitySymphony orchestra, has played at anumber of campus functions: bamdances, “C” dances, and the like.Individual tickets to the dance,which will be held in the ReynoldsClub lounges, are priced at 44 cents.They are available from members ofthe Reynolds Club council or at theInformation Office. Concert GuitaristRichard S. Pick, a prominent Amer-ican guitarist, will play a program ofserious music in the Reynolds ClubLounge Sunday evening.Pick started to study the violin atan early age, but when he was H heheard a great Spanish guitarist andbecame impressed with the possibili¬ties of the instrument for rendering eighteenth century classics and se¬rious modem works. He later enteredthe School of Music of the Universityof Illinois and devoted himself to theguitar. He was recently recognizedby the Music Guild as the foremostvirtuoso of the guitar.The concert begins at 8:15 and isfree to the public. Featured compositions are by Bach, Mozart, and selec¬tions by the artist.World Scholars Meet OnQuadrangles In AugustThe University Quadrangles, longnoted as the site of scholarly edViven-tions, will outdo itself next fall whenlearned men of all fields of knowledgevisit here in honor of the Fiftieth An¬niversary.Connell SpeaksTo Calvert ClubDan Connell, a student of TrappistMonasteries in the United States, willlecture at the Calvert Club tomorrowafternoon at 4:30 in Ida Noyes. Thesubject of the lecture, which will beillustrated by colored slides, will be“Life at the Trappist Monastery atGethsemane, Kentucky’’.Since modem monastic institutionshave aroused much discussion in reli¬gious circles, the meeting will be opento all students on campus.

Johnny is the snow¬man who will be striped all the wayup when the $385 Finance Drive isfinished.So far about 150 of the 400 pledgecards which are out have been re¬turned, and committee members hopethat a majority of the cards still outwill be returned before the end ofthe quarter, although the drive hasbeen planned to last until June oruntil the full quota is raised. By CHET HAND“Turkey is the key nation in thepresent Balkan situation’’, said HughCole, Instructor in History, in an inter¬view yesterday. “Her present non-ag¬gression pact with Bulgaria shouldnot be considered a step against Brit¬ain; rather it should be regarded inthe same light as Greece’s pre-wartrade agreements with Germany andItaly’’.Cole believes that Turkey will fightif Hitler invades Greece and that herinfluence will be considerable. “Thefighting population of Turkey has notnearly as much to lose as, for example,the French peasants and moreover theTurks will be extremely desirous ofdefending the Straits of Bosphorous’’.Farther Than Napoleon“If Hitler tries to reach Suez andthe Iraq oil fields through Anatolia hewill have to travel farther than Na¬poleon did to Moscow. Penetration ofthe Anatoliaian peninsula will be dif¬ficult due to the tremendous moraleand the stubborn defensive tactics ofthe Turks,’’ he added.Cole dismissed the possibility of afuture English thrust from Tripolithrough Sicily to Italy because of alack of air power to support such athrust and also because of her poorshipping situation in the Mediterra¬nean.“England can under no circum¬stances win the war this year andthere is only a small possibility thatGermany could do it’’, concluded Cole.“At any rate the war will be won onthe Western front, not in the Mediter¬ranean area.’’ Action will begin on the first ofAugust when the Mathematics As¬sociation of America will meet here.Convening during the same week willbe the International Institute forUnity of Science, which was scheduledto hold its sessions abroad, but whichhad to change its plans because of theEuropean war. Another learned group,the American Astronomical Societywill gather at Yerkes Observatory.The celebration will reach its climaxlate in September when the Alumniwill gather for sessions of their schooland several special programs includinga concert by the Chicago SymphonyOrchestra in the Fieldhouse. Honorarydegrees will be confered along withthe regular decrees on ConvocationSunday.Another celebration of the Univer¬sity’s anniversary is slated to occurabout the middle of April and willprobably be known as “UniversityWeek,’’ and will be a sort of openhouse. The program will be a mixtureof lectures and visits to the variousbranches of the University. The pres¬ent program calls for one day to bespent in each Division of the Univer¬sity.Lenton VespersTo Be Held InHilton ChapelLenten vespers will be held this aft¬ernoon at 4:30 and every Thursdayafternoon during Lent at the Thorn-dyke Hilton Memorial Chapel on thecampus. These vespers are being con¬ducted under the auspices of the localchapter of Gamma Delta, the nationalassociation of Lutheran students.These services will bring to thecampus a number of outstanding Luth¬eran churchmen, including Pres. 0.

Prophet¬ic of a “good’’ future for these twoprograms is the phenomenal successnow being enjoyed by the Universityof Chicago Roundtable which rankstops among all the discussion broad¬casts on the air.The first of the as yet embryonicether shows for which negotiationsare being carried on with NBC is tobe devoted to dramatizing the contri¬butions of scientists and scholars inthe great universities. It is to differfrom the late “Human Adventure’’series in that the latter program wasconcerned with presenting the con¬tributions of institutions, whereas thenew program will be more biograph¬ical in character.If plans for the second new broad¬cast go through the University willreally be trail-blazing, for the pro¬gram is to be a series of dramaticsketches based on the Bible. Accord¬ing to Dryer, “The Bible is one of thegreat untapped resources of radiomaterial.’’ It has been carefullyavoided by broadcasters for fear ofoffending certain religious groups,and also because of lack of researchfacilities to do an adequate job ofpresentation. With the Divinity Schooland the Oriental Institute handlingthe research angle, the program willapproach the material with the aimof giving non-religious sociologicaland historical interpretations of thegreat Bible stories.“It is our hope,’’ declared Dryer,“that by next autumn the Universityof Chicago will have radio programson each of the major networks.’’Socialist ClubCollects FundsFor Radio TalksSocialist Club members completedplans at a meeting in Cobb yesterdayfor a drive to raise funds to providefor a series of‘nation wide broadcastsby Norman Thomas, former candidatefor president on the Socialist ticket,on national issues of current import¬ance.Those on the Executive Committeein charge of the campaign are, RobertKreider, Socialist Club president, Mar¬vin Halverson, Jack Knuepfer, andMarcia Lyttle.Mail contributions may be sent toMarcia Lyttle, 5729 Dorchester St., orthrough the Faculty Exchange by ad¬dressing them to the Meadville Theo¬logical Seminary.Among those making sizeable con¬tributions to the radio fund are thefollowing: Mr. and Mrs. Arthur E.Holt, Fred Eastman, Maynard C.Krueger, Wayne McMillen, Anton J.Carlson, John C.

Rubin*These Are Hard TimesWhatever course of action the United Statesfollows in the present gradual march towardswar, the results can be little short of disastrous.In this, we agree with President Hutchins. Thealternatives before us are not ones which canlead us to security and prosperity with any de¬gree of sureness.Although we are convinced that the 'leastbad alternative is for the United States to lendBritain as much of such aid as is necessary toinsure a British victory, we cannot but feel dis¬may at the future America faces under anycircumstances.At the very best, even if war is avoided, wecan only hope to escape with the most devastat¬ing depression that we have ever faced. Whenthe prosperity caused by a splash of more than$29,000,000,obo in the American economicbucket has evaporated, there will be more menunemployed than there will ever have been inthe past. We will be ripe for revolution, andthe revolution may be a Fascist one.War Will he TerribleOr, we may be dragged into the war, andthen the moral and intellectual setbacks we willreceive, as well as the almost complete econom¬ic prostration we will undoubtedly suffer, willcause even more distress for the next genera¬tion. The best that can happen is that, when weare freed from the insufferable impediment ofworld fear, we may be able to rebuild our de¬mocracy again on the foundation which existstoday. Only if the war is a relatively brief one,can we be sanguine about even such an occur¬rence.Worst choice of all, if we stay out of the warand a German victory results, death to the Amer¬ican economy, and to democracy, will be the in¬evitable result. It will be a slow death, and be¬cause it comes slowly, and the institutions whichreplace it will be better adapted to the horriblenew world in which they exist, rebirth will bedelayed for far longer than if any of the otheralternatives are chosen.Defeat AheadIt is difficult to be aught but a defeatist ina world that seems to be headed for sure defeat.Since we have to act, to try to avoid for our¬selves and our heirs the worst possible conse¬quences, we stand committed to the least ecil.But we cannot be happy about our choice, andcannot see a future which will be a livable one,no matter if the most lucky alternative is fol¬lowed. E. S. L.Station W9YWQBy JIM MACLEARMany students, while wending their way in the gen¬eral direction of the Coffee Shop or Reynolds Club, haveno doubt noted with mild interest the wire which spansHutchinson Court. Many have noted but few haverealized that what they see before them is nothing lessthan the antenna of the University Radio Club.Station W9YWQ, the club’s darling, is one of themost powerful of amateur stations. As David Fisher,the organization’s secretary, states with just pride,“We have reached every state in the Union, and everycontinent in the world, including Antarctica.’’ Since 1936,the club has had confirmed contact with nearly seventy The Traveling BazaarBy TOTO MC CORMICK & HILLARD THOMASTo brilliant and friendly Dean Richard P.

The sta¬tion had relayed a message from their son who waswith the Byrd Expedition in Little America.Occasionally, members of various radio corpora¬tions or faculty members speak at club meetings. Otheractivities are confined to field trips, such as the visitto WGN’s transmitting station which the club took re¬cently. At present the organization is earnestly at¬tempting to raise money for a microphone so that theymay be able to talk whereas now they are confined tocode. Membership requirements are merely that theprospective member be interested in radio and have theapproval of the club’s fifteen members.The members of the organization are as follows:Julian Lorenz, President; Jim Perrings, Vice-Presi¬dent; David Fisher, Secretary-Treasurer; Walter Se-love; George Carlson; John Brolley; James Vaneares;Paul Banner; Cy Bond; P.

It has developed inthe student body an apathy and de¬featist attitude towards athletics ingeneral which would be difficult tofind on any campus in the country.Unhealthy ConditionSuch a condition is obviously un¬healthy. Chicago turns out fine stu¬dents, probably the finest in the coun¬try. But it also turns out warped,one-sided, maladjusted individuals.To merely shrug one’s shouldersand say that those interested in sportsshould attend some other school isbegging the question. Exercise ofthe mind and exercise of the body aredefinitely not mutually exclusive. Any¬one who attempts to prove that theyare is narrow-minded and short¬sighted.Should Aid TransitionWith conscription facing collegestudents and graduates it more thanever behooves universities and col¬ leges to assist in the adjustmentsnecessary for the transition from thecloistered lives led by students intothe rigors of army life. No saneperson could deny that most Chicagostudents are not fitted for such a life.In many cases the induction of ourintellectuals into the army would bepathetic.That the University partially rec¬ognizes this is evidenced by the train¬ing courses and similar projects theathletic department is sponsoring.But the failure of these groups toreach the general student body is alsoself-evident; for example, two-thirdsof those enrolled in the training courseheld Friday nights in the Fieldhouseare from outside the University. enroll here to escape the restrictionsof other institutions, but they wouldprobably be the ones who would bene¬fit the most.I The problem of intercollegiate ath-I letics, however, could not be solvedI in that way. The administrationI should either carry through its viewsI to a logical conclusion and discontinueI intercollegiate sports entirely, con-' centrating on a strong intra-muralprogram and the compulsory gym.Compulsory GymProbably the best solution would bea return to compulsory gym work forentering freshmen. Such a step mightbe a blow to the individualists who Or they must recognize that learn¬ing and athletic prowess can be happybed-mates. They must realize thatathletic scholarships are no more evilthan are general scholarships. Theymust provide more adequate coachingthan is available. In general, theymust realize that athletics are an in¬tegral part of the university life andthat a haphazard athletic programonly injures the university and itsstudents. .

Jack RonsIn a school that is populated withlackadaisical athletes, who have alackadaisical attitude toward athlet¬ics, Jack Fons presents a radicallydifferent picture. Jack is not a “nat¬ural” in the sports page parlance. Hewas never picked to burn up the hard¬wood from the moment he toddled outon the floor in grammar school, andprobably never will.But Fons is a pleasant relief fromthe typical Maroon man, for he is themost con.scientious ba.sketball playeron the squad and probably Chicago’smost able competitor, next to JoeStampf. “He is conscientious abouthis abilities^ and disabilities to thepoint of worrying about his game,”Nels Norgren mused w’hen askedabout the character of his Junior ace. i terday, the Dekes coming in with only one point less. The actual score was75-74.The Elites scored 45 points, to placethird. The Alpha Delts and DU’s fol¬lowed with 26 and 25 points respec¬tively.There were only two decisions in theafternoon’s struggle.

THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 27. 1941No For AnAnswerBy PEREZ de SOLA ZAGOBIN“Youth for Democracy,” the self-styled defender of the democratic wayof life, is pulling off an aid to Greecefiasco on the campus. I won’t tell myreaders where or when it takes place,because I don’t want to give any pub¬licity to the affair in this column,since it is not my practice to abetdemagogues in tying the blindfoldover the eyes of the students here.Will someone kindly inform mesince when Greece became a democ¬racy? By what wildeyed logic havethe leaders of “Youth for Democracy”arrived at the conclusion that Greeceis fighting a democratic war? UnderMetaxas, the recently-dead dictator,civil rights were ruthlessly crushed,minority parties suppressed, anti-Semitic decrees promulgated, exces¬sively harsh taxes placed on the backsof the Greek people, who were expect¬ed to pay for their fascist governmentwith low wages and long hours anddepressed living standards. UnderKoryzis, Metaxas’ successor, the storyis the same. Koryzis, known as theJ. P. Morgan of Greece, and presidentof the country’s largest bank, is doinghis best to continue the mortgagingof farm holding's among the ruralpopulation, and like some insatiableglutton, continues to concentrate thevineyards of the land in the greedyhands of his bank. Bar AssociationPostpones BanquetLand of FascismIt is Greece, land of fascism, thatwe are told to aid. Has democracp any¬thing to gain when it helps one fascistfight another? We are told by ourpresident that we no longer appeasedictatorships. Certainly no other termbut appeasement can be applied to ourpolicy toward Greece. Some may saythat the reason for aid to Greece isthat the Greeks are not planning toattack us. This means that we don’tcare about fighting fascism, but areonly concerned with fighting fascistswho want to take our own coloniesand subject territories away from us,and substitute their kind of exploita¬tion for our kind. It means that talkabout aid to democracy is a lie whichfits in with the campaign to involvens in this war fought for markets,colonies, and empire.About the Bishop“Youth for Democracy” is planningto have Bishop Athenogoras, primateof the Greek Church, speak at itsmeeting. This great democrat is goingto give us a little heavenly soft-soap,in order to help make palatable a dishwhich is rotten no matter how cleverlycamouflaged with baloney it may be.Just as the church in Spain duringthe civil war aided the fascist Francoin destroying the Spanish republic, sothe Greek church connives at thethrottling of Greek freedom. Undoubt¬edly there are Greek churchmen, justas there were Catholic ones, who areopposed to the oflicial policy of theChurch; their protests are unavailing.Whatever Bishop Athenogoras maysay, all the holy water in the worldwon’t cleanse his Church’s bloody rec¬ord in Greece.All these things which I have writ¬ten are well-known. Of course, the ad¬ministration and the war-mongeringnewspapers would like to suppresssuch information, but the news some¬times creeps through.Damn HypocriteAnd so “Youth for Democracy” cantry to fed us Greek war-relief, butthey damn well know the extent oftheir hypocrisy. If they keep it up longenough Washington will soon put Mol-kup on its payroll. But we studentshere ought to slip the whole project amickey. We want Chinese relief, relieffor the Spanish refugees who foughtdemocracy’s battle so valiantly, andmost of all, relief for the 52 millionshrunken bellies of our own greatland. Let’s use some of the defensefunds for our own nation and for thesuccor of our one-third so ill-housed,so ill-clothed, and so ill-fed. If we didthis, we would have the kind of democ¬racy and democratic morale that noth¬ing could conquer.The opinions expressed in this ar¬ticle are not those of the editors.Vesp ers—(Continued from page one)quadrangles to attend these weeklyvespers. Mr. Earl Knaak, president ofthe group, says: “These services atthe close of day are designed to givethe students an opportunity for a briefperiod of spiritual meditation andprayer during this season, sacred toall Christendom.” Because of circumstances beyondits control the Law School Bar As¬sociation has been forced to postponeits annual dinner from March 7 to alater date. The dinner will be held,however, in International House aspreviously planned.While the banquet i^ primarily aparty for students and members of theLaw School faculty, law alumni arealways invited and each year a largrenumber return for the occasion.Among those who will receive invita¬tions this year are Governor DwightGreen and his opponent in last fall’selection, Harry B. Hershey.The committee named after muchthought by officers of the Bar Associa¬tion to stage the annual play is headedby Bob Simon and includes MonradPaulsen, Milt Mercer, Allyn Franke,Spencer Roberts, Jerome Katzen, Sid¬ney Bernstein, and D. Ahrensweig.On the committee in charge of ar¬rangements are: John Good, chairman,A1 Cameron, Alice Bright, and MissLutz.Don Wollett is acting as generalchairman of the banquet, and RussParsons is in charge of publicity. Theyare being assisted by the officers ofthe Bar Association.Good DancersGet Top GradesIn This ClassBy NANCY LESSERAfter the ball is over, after thedance is through, everyone goes tohis next class. It’s a little differenthalf an hour before when everybodyis just entering the social dance class.Then they shyly squeeze through thedoor and plaster themselves againstthe wall or form small self-consciousgroups, except those few uninhibitedindividuals who immediately take pos¬session of the floor and other’s atten¬tions to try out new dance steps.There has been such a large socialdance enrollment that each quarternew classes have to be added, andwhen divided in thirds the classes arecomposed of about an equal amountof graduate, divisional, and collegestudents; with amazingly enough, aproponderance of men in all sections.Saddle shoes although forbiddenare in the majority on the floor, andit’s about this time the instructor’shair begins to turn grey because thesmooth strains of the rhumba areinevitably interrupted by the squeakof some wet mbber sole sticking tothe floor and the air is pushed aroundby a silently muttered oath which re¬sounds through the whole place.Kind of BashfulClass begins with objects of bothsex stumbling gracefully into lines oneither side of the room, followed bythe command, “walk forwa;fd andchoose your partners,” which is asure sign for the beginning of a con¬centrated rush of a select few, andrather strained looks on the faces ofothers. But since this is a class, therealso is a generous peppering of inter¬mingling.Some men march boldly up to theirfavorites and the rest, (by force ofhabit no doubt), wait for the girls toshyly hold out their hands and grab’em. The technique varies immensely.FriendshipFriendships don’t usually bloom in¬to anything more than a hurriedlyaverted “hello” when passing, be¬cause of the feeling that it mightadmit a social inadequacy if one datesthrough a dancing class. But- moreoften than do regular class room ac¬quaintances, social dancing surrepti¬tiously leads to a ping pong game,then bowling, then a coke . . .Close check is kept on attendance,partly as a basis for grading, andpartly to eliminate those who don’tcome regularly. The absence of onegirl caused comment upon her returnthe next day, whereupon she beggedto be excused on grounds that it hadbeen imperative that she attend awedding at that time since the bride¬groom could only get the noon houroff. The next day she rushed in verylate and breathless, terribly sorrybut “Now I have to go home and fixlunch for my husband . . . the wed¬ding you see, it was mine.” Hillel to HearDaiches TonightDavid Daiches, English instruc¬tor at the University will speaktomorrow night, in Ida Noyes un¬der the auspices of the HillelFoundation. Mr. Daiches will de¬liver a lecture to the fortnightlyFireside on the subject “Sensibilityin Modern Literature: Mann, Kaf¬ka, and Joyce.’’ This speech willbe followed by a social hour dur¬ing which questions may be asked.Sunday afternoon, Hillel is hold¬ing a Graduate Club meeting at3:30 in the Y room of Ida Noyes.Jacob Weinstein, Rabbi of a near¬by Congregation will address thegroup on “Our Stake in the Pres¬ent Crisis.” This meeting also willbe followed by a social hour.Parker ChoirTo Sing ForVesper ServiceThe Parker High School chorus willprovide the musical background forthis Sunday’s 4:30 vesper service inRodcefeller chapel.
