Vol. 41, No. 74 Z-149 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO. WEDNESDAY. MARCH 5. 1941 Price Three CentsEconomicsvs.EmotionA BULL SESSION'By Bob ReynoldsI wish to present these views onworld economics simply because Ithink this war is being waged for dol¬lars and not ideals. I hope to outlineseveral of the more concrete angles ofthe European war. You may be as¬sured there will be no emotional pleato preserve the world for democracyor even to keep our shores free fromforeign entanglements.Personally. I am tired of hearingany number of students and teachers,all self esteemed experts on politicsand things military, analyze thecauses, maneuvers, and the end re¬sults of the present international sit¬uation in terms of soft-headed emo¬tionalism.Phis is an attempt to touch the sig¬nificant highpoints of the roles in¬ternational trade and her hand maidenjfold will play in the event that Hitleris able to maintain his control overGecmany.The economic statesmen of Europeand this country are disturbed by theunpredictable paths trade and goldwill follow after the war as well asduring the present.Funk’s MarblesUr. Walther Funk, Germany min¬ister of economics, says that since.\merica has most of the world’s sup¬ply of gold, Europe will be like thelittle boy in a marble game: when oneboy has won all the marbles, eitherthe winner will have to lend back someof the marbles or the loser must playanother game.Signor Vincenzo Azzolini, directorof the Banca D’ltalia, says that Eu¬rope must quit borrowing fromabroad, must find some way other thatfollowed now to get along withoutplunging into more foreign debts.It is the “other game’’ that HerrFunks talks about playing which isbothering American exporters. Why isit? Up to now foreign trade has beencarried on by individual exporters andimporters in most countries. Now inGermany the government has becomethe one big totalitarian trader.Germany Must ImportIn a sense this is forced by circum¬stances. Germany needs many essen¬tial raw materials from abroad, butdoes not have the foreign credits withwhich to purchase them. What creditsshe has she must use to buy these es¬sentials. She refuses, therefore toleave the choice of buying to individ¬uals who will buy what they needrather than what the nation at warneeds. Also, since she has practicallyno gold and few credits abroad shemust find means of creating substi¬tutes. This she does by using govern¬ment action to increase sales abroad.There are three devices by whichthis aim is attained.1. Concentrating all trade in a sin¬gle agency.2. Subsidizing exports.3. Buying only from nations thatbuy from her.This is exactly what Germany hasdone in South America. A great dealof fear has been generated in theUnited States because of these meth¬ods, but in reality her barter systemis clumsy. It is used only because theReich had neither the gold nor theforeign credit with which to operateas we do.We’re Still AheadIn the general world market theGerman system still leaves us at agreat advantage with our vast re-.serves and immense credits. Barter, asused by the Germans, is difficult, un¬pleasant, creates ill will over a period,is hard to handle, and subsidizing ex¬ports is a costly game. Germany, ashas been pointed out, plays this trou¬blesome game for the elementary rea¬son that she has no other recourse.She is using it as a means to an end.And that end will probably turn outto be the position of king pin in theold game, if, of course, she is success¬ful in her wars.Our difficulties in the world marketswill come fVom other sources thanthese.

The discussion Iwasrie of the series of lectures spon-)red by the Charles R. Walgreenoundation for the Study of Amer-an Institutions dealing with the>pic, “Democratic Government andational Unity.’’Criticises PressSaid Mr. Agar: “I am here to•iticise the press. The press hasdied to create a world which wouldhich would know more, understandore, and which would act more withle use of reason. The tragic failure! the American press today is thatdoes not give the public the truth,id to continue to do this is to con-nue to destroy national unity, sincele press is the only agent which canlild up national unity.”“The only justification of theeedom of the press,” continued theurnalist, “is to present what oughtI happen along with what is hap-;ning. As a matter of fact, the•ess should present the truth evenlOUgh the public does not want tojar it.”Press Should Have Told TruthMr. Agar believes that had the•ess of this country told the truthfore the fall of France, the face ofe world might have been changedr now. He pointed out that whileranee was' falling, the politiciansthis country were engrossed in a'esidential campaigrn and that theyerefore discussed peace, security. the advantages and the disadvan¬tages of the New Deal, and Hoov¬er, rather than talk about the fallof France, because that was tooserious. It was only after the elec¬tion that the politicians of bothparties dared to present the tdan-gers that America would have toface during the present crisis.Be sure to read—The Maroon gives a further elab¬oration of the stand regardingWestern Conference Athletics, andits remedial proposals in today’seditorial on Page 2. Maroon AppointsO'Donnell Ad ManRobert Patrick O’Donnell has beenappointed advertising manager of theDaily Maroon, it was announced yes¬terday by John Stevens, chairman ofthe Board. O’Donnell replaces Wil¬liam Kimball, who resigned becauseof the pressure of studies and hisduties as president of Psi Upsilon.O’Donnell’s first act upon assumingoffice was to announce an increase incommission rates paid to studentswho sell advertising space in the Ma¬roon. Rates now paid are fifteen percent on new accounts up to fifty dol¬lars, and twenty per cent on all salesover that. Old accounts pay ten percent on the first fifty dollars, andfifteen per cent thereafter.O’Donnell is a junior in school,majoring in philosophy, a member ofPhi Kappa Psi, and joined the Ma¬roon staff at the beginning of thequarter.Public Will Demand ConvoysIf British Need Them—WrightBy CHESTER HAND“There is no evidence that the ad¬ministration intends to engage in con¬voying, but on the other hand, if con¬voying becomes necessary to preventBritish defeat, the public will demandthat the administration take such astep,” said Quincy Wright, professorof International Law, in an interviewyesterday. Professor Wright believesthat Hitler intended an invasion ofBritain, but that Mussolini’s failuresin Greece and Africa forced him playhis hand in the Balkans first.“Russia’s attitude against Turkey’sentering the war to aid Britain maybe possibly change d”, continuedWright. “Due to the German army’sunpleasant proximity to her bordersthe Kremlin may feel that it wouldbe best to have the added weight ofthe Turks upon Hitler.”Anatolian Campaign Too DifficultWright is extremely doubtful of anyattempt on the part of the Reich to cross Anatolia in an effort to reach theSuez and the Iraq oil fields. In fact,the difficulties of communicationacross Anatolia and the size of thearmy Hitler would need for such acampaign would make it so difficultthat he believes Hitler won’t try sucha plan.“If the Germans take Salonika theywill be in a much more strategic posi¬tion”, concluded Wright. “Their airforce will be able to exert a powerfulinfluence on north African objectivesand seriously hamper British Mediter¬ranean fleet activities.”Gilkey Leaves forHawaiian JauntDean Charles Gilkey of the Univer¬sity Chapel will range far afield thismonth as he speaks before five col¬leges of the Far West.

The rally will begin at 8.Show AncientWriting FormsIn BreastedA special exhibit on writing tech¬niques in the Ancient World is dis¬played this month in the lobby of theOriental Institute. The exhibit hasbeen placed there in conjunction with alecture to be given on writing tomor¬row night in the Institute lecture hallby William Edgerton.The display is entitled “From AnEgyptian Library”, and contains writ¬ing utensils and pages typical of oldEgypt. There are two pen and palettesets to show the crudeness of the toolsat the time, and a picture of Egyptianscribes at work.Hieratic HieroglyphicsProminent in the show case are twoselections from a roll of the famousBook of the Dead, both containingmany vertical lines of hieratic writingplaced near scenes describing the writ¬ten passages. A limestone fragmentfrom the tomb of Pepi I shows reli¬gious texts, and represents one of theoldest chapters in human thought.Most interesting among the articleson display are three potsherds illus¬trating every day life in the eighthand ninth centuries A.D. One is astatement of the division of a deceasedman’s goods; another tells that ahousewife has paid for her dresses;and the third is a testament of ayoung man who insists that he has notmisappropriated some grain.The case will be on exhibition allmonth, but there will be only one lec¬ture, tomorrow evening at 8.will be the leader of the “Religionand Life” week sponsored by the Uni¬versity of Honolulu.Before he sails from San Francis¬co to Hawaii, the Dean will speak be¬fore several western universities.Page Two THE DAILY MAROON.

If a uni¬versity is founded for the purpose of promotinggreater knowledge by developing the intellectsof men and women, for what reason is it pre¬occupied with luring to its portals, athletes inplace of students ?But the evil has been widely discussed andshould be well understood without further elab¬oration. The problem that immediately con-,fronts us is what action our university shouldtake, at this particular time, regarding prose¬lyting in the Big Ten. At the moment we seemto be on the verge of dropping from Big Tenbasketball because the competition is too se¬vere. Now is the time to act, or forever to re¬main passive.Measures to AdoptIf the University decides to take action itwill determine its own methods. However, wehopefully advance certain measures that wefeel should be taken.An impartial body should be formed, includ¬ing representatives from each school in theconference, to undertake a serious and thor¬ough investigation of subsidization activity inthe Big Ten. Before conducting its investiga¬tion, however, this group should attempt toclarify for itself the sections on subsidizationin the Conference rules and regulations, andperhaps redefine the term to include some mod¬ern practices.Questionnaire for AthletesTo supplement the ordinary methods of col¬lecting information, a questionnaire should begiven to every varsity athlete in the Confer¬ence. In this questionnaire the athlete shouldbe required to give his source of financial sup¬port, and the university should report on hisacademic record. The accuracy of these ques¬tionnaires of course should be carefully checked.With the information gathered by such an in¬vestigating body, the case against subsidizationwould be clear-cut. The magnitude and extentof the evil finally would be indisputable.The athletic scholarship is the most flagrantform of proselyting, and the most easily detect¬ed. This and the practice of showing favoritismto athletes in the granting of soft jobs shouldbe the first to go.Problem of Private Aid #Private subsidization on the part of benevo¬lent fans is more difficult to eliminate. In factnothing can be done to prevent any individualfrom aiding a boy through college. But loop¬holes in entrance requirements can be filled toprevent unqualified students from slippingthrough, on their athletic merits alone. Fixingathletes grades in order to keep them eligiblerepresents the lowst level to which our univer¬sities have fallen for the sake of athletics.There should be no compromising here. Anoth¬er loophole is in the existence of “snap” curricu¬la, such as that found in a department of phys¬ical education, through which a student may passwithout the slightest intellectual effort. Suchdepartments would of course be permitted toremain. But at least two years of academicwork should be requisite, along with physicaltraining. No university has any business grant¬ing a degree which requires no brain-workwhatsoever. If We Have CourageIf our university will have the courage toinnovate this action, perhaps the great univer¬sities of the midle-west could be returned tosanity regarding athletics. Perhaps then ourown university can once more enjoy pleasantathletic competition on an equal basis with itsneighbors of similar status and big-time inter¬collegiate athletics can again become simply anentertaining pastime of universities as itshould be.- W. B. H.The Traveling BazaarBy DICK HIMMELAfter. . . spending three hours wrestling with Miss Dentonand the Dramatic Association books in the Dean’s office.I’m in no mood to write a Bazaar. Now Bazaar writingtakes a technique. You must either feel hilarious orlow, low, in the dumps. Right now I’m midway betweenhilarity and depression and that is no condition inwhich to write a Bazaar. I can think of only three hewsitems. 1. Barbara P^ge has taken Bob Stuhr’s Deke pin.2.Norma Glass has pledged Mortar Board. 3. DorothyTuell* pledged Esoteric after depledging Sigma. Nowhow in the hell can you make a whole Bazaar out ofthat? In the good old days I could sit down at a type¬writer and make up things like Joe Shlush was withMyrtle Smish at the 606 club, but the good old days aregone forever as the saying has it. After a touch of com¬petition from a man named Crane, the Bigelow atten¬tions to Mahon have perked up considerably. I couldmention that and it would be true, but it’s so much ef¬fort to type all that out. So I go on just looking at thekey and wishing I was somewhere where there werenothing but Alice Fayes and Betty Grables. That’sjust a sample of the way I feel.Bazaar writers these days have to be careful. Thescorn of the campus falls most easily on them. If youknow the red hot truth you can’t print it and half thetime you don’t- know it. People are getting leary abouttelling stories to columnists. That’s why there is adearth of material. Probably thousands of women havebeen ill-treated by thousands of men but no one evertells me about it. 'That’s why I have nothing to writeabout. Someone just suggested I write about my life inRussia. I wrote about my life in Russia and I hear ongood authority Czar Nicolas turned over in his cryptover it. Someone of course has just told me a hilariouslittle story about a boy in the hospital with both hislegs broken. He got a superman suit for his birthdayand jumped out the window to see if it worked. Itdidn’t. Isn’t that the funniest story you have everheard? Oh, by the way, those of you who rememberRuth Brody, will be happy to see her portrait on thecover of the current Saturday Evening Post. Chloe Rothcame to the Maroon office today sans her ZBT pin.Three men lunged at her until she explained she hadleft it home on her dresser. This is just a sample of theguff I have to write. Bud O’Donnell has joined up withthe Daily Maroon staff and a fine man he is. His broth¬er Chuck was also a Maroonman. A noble tradition.Bull Session-(Continued from page 1)wages. On many products she will undersell us, leavingus with the choice of lowering our production costs bylowering our living standards or sacrificing some partof our foreign trade.2. Germany will probably try to organize an im¬mense area of Europe and perhaps Africa into eco¬nomic units. Japan at the moment is doing the samefor Asia. The Japanese plan to wall off Asia as far aspossible under a self contained economy with tariffsand other preferences.This, of course, is what we have done in the UnitedStates between the 48 states and what England hasdone under what is called the “Empire PreferenceSystem.’’ We shall have to adjust our trading methodsto this condition.3. Germany needs South Americarr products—we donot. We compete with South American meats, wheat,copper, and fruits. We do not let them in this country.Germany wants them. That makes for a natural trad¬ing condition. We will not succeed in preventing thistrade. We must be realistic about that. We must becontent with our share, which up to now has been thelion’s, and will probably continue to be mainly so be¬cause we have the credits to offer.4. Then there is the problem of gold. We have 80cents of every dollar of world gold. We have the mar¬bles. Can Germany demonetize gold, leaving us holdinga bag of worthless metal? These great self-existingtrading areas—Germany’s, Russia’s, and Japan’s canreduce the need for gold, it is true. But no satisfactorysubstitute for the metal has been found for settling in¬ternational balances. Even Walther Funk admits that.Germany may hope, as a prize of war, to get pos¬session of England’s gold mines in the Transvaal. Ifshe does her interest in demonetizing gold will quicklyabate.The most serious blow to our foreign trade wouldbe a temporary one—namely, the currency crisis thatwill follow the war.A substitute for gold, most of which we have, can¬not be worked out in a day. The interval, while newcurrency valuations and trading areas are beingformed, will be a painful one.For all these contingencies our economists andbankers should be planning, and all our intervention¬ists and isolationists should place in their considera¬tions before maudlin sympathies. Employees Defeat Kelly HallIn Orange-Ridden ContestLast night, amid cheering, oranges,and professional photogs, the Em¬ployees collected a hectic 20 to 11 vic¬tory from Kelly and took first placein women’s basketball.Referee Wiesner patiently explainedthat it really wasn’t cricket to “pusheach other around like that,’’ whileKelly's Ann Leonard screams, “will yabreak somewhere,’’ and throws theball which promptly dribbles over ascore of hands to nestle in the arms ofBetty Barry, who fondly hands it toElizabeth Wallenstein after a skirm¬ish with Ree Carey, elfish little em¬ployee.Betty Berry created an uproar byscoring the first point for Kelly whileat about that time something like“Beat em up, beat em down, KellyHall is going to town,” made therounds. The Kelly affinity to orange slices as a quick pick-me-up is terrific;with Betty Van Liew munching glam¬orously in one corner and Dudely, thevery Dudely looking duck-mascotsqueaked for Kelly.Third place went to Mortar BoardAlums who delicately parried the PhiDelta Upsilons 17 to 12, due to Mar¬ian Jernberg’s good derriere work andLureana Button’s coalmine heaves.While Kelly did everything but bite,Wyvem took care of that when RuthRowe descended gently took a chunkout of F.Y.C.

A mile relay team oftandall, Doc Kanouse, Warren Wilner,,nd Dick Blakeslee may also compete,lepending up certain of the men's be-ng able to get away from their stud-es.4 Individual ChampionsDefending champions in four events,)lus a trio of individuals who tied foritle honors in a pair of field events,ire included in the star-studded field.Three Indiana men are seeking to•etain their titles won last year in the^ieldhouse here—Campbell Kane inho one mile run; Roy Cochrane, Bigren and American indoor record-hold-•r in the 440-yard dash; and Archielarris, shot put. The'first two have;wept the eastern seaboard in out-itanding appearances this year, whilelarris has been flinging the shot con¬sistently between 49 and 50 feet.Piker AgainNorthwestern supplied the fourthndividual champion in Myron Piker,jrilliant dashman who has been unde¬feated in Big Ten championship meets'or the past two years and will belefending his honors in the 60-yardsprint.In the high jump, Jhn Smith, ofS'orthwestern, and Don Canham, ofMichigan, w’ho tied at 6 feet, 4 inches,ast year, will both be back to defendtheir laurels against a strong field,ivhile in the pole vault William Wil¬iams, Wisconsin, who tied with MikeLinta, of Ohio State, at 13 feet, 9nches, will endeavor to take the un-lisputed title.New ChampionsNew champions are bound to be:rowned in the 70-yard high hurdles,:wo mile run, and half-mile, where thecurrent titlists have dropped out ofcompetition, as well as the broad jumpind 70-yard low hurdles which havejeen added to the program for theirst time in history this year.Ray and Rendleman are the mostlikely point-winners for the Maroonsthis year. Rendleman last year tookIfth in the shot put and should place•ven higher this year. Ray tied for:hird in the high jump and should al¬so garner some points in the newly-idded broad jump.Randall, although a consistent win-ler so far, will have to do much bet¬ ter to place in the select group. Com¬peting against some of the best mid¬dle-distance men in the nation, thespeedy sophomore will be at a decideddisadvantage due to his inexperience.Kincheloe will probably ’ have to goto at least thirteen feet to take anyhonors in the pole vault, and he hasnot yet reached that mark in competi¬tion.Over-EmphasisWrong.HutchinsNU Prof AgreeBy PHIL RIEFFWhile perusing Joe Palooka, in theChicago Daily Times, recently, in anattempt to ascertain his attitude onH.R. 1776, my thumb slipped and Ifound myself in the middle of MarvinMcCarthy’s sports column. Usually,Marvin’s column does not have thecalibre that one associates with thePalooka epic, but this particular onehad all the aspects of a world-shak¬ing confession.It seems that a Professor of Phys¬ical Education at Northwestern Uni¬versity, Kranz by name, has statedthat the athletic set-up in Americais all wrong. Kranz, of N.U., declaresthe millions of dollars spent on sportsin America wasted. He charges anover-emphasis on competition has ac¬centuated the short-comings of sportsin the nation, and in general, the pro¬fessor in Evanston decries the lackof physical conditioning for every¬body.Of course, the McCarthy stint wasfurther enlivened by a comment byPres. Hutchins. The president ven¬tured that most physical educatorswould agree with Prof. Kranz. “Ev¬eryone admits,” he claimed, “there isstill too much emphasis on one ortwo major sports.”“You have the problems of over¬whelming public attention to one ortwo sports, and universities, for fi¬nancial or other reasons, continue toplace emphasis on these sports,” Mr.Hutchins concluded.Ancient PressmanLeaves CampusWilliam Anderson, 72 years old, whoshepherded the first presses to theMidway retired Saturday after 49years of service in the University ofChicago Press. He was head of thebook make-up department.Stampfs PerformanceDrenched with DramaBy PHIL RIEFFThe revelers are still celebratingloe Stampf’s lonely glory, and theIrama of those 32 minutes that flitted)y with anguishing speed before thecan man drove home with the basketbat set off an ovation unequalled inMaroon history. These delirious cheersnust have reached all those distantpeople that have dmugly proclaimedChicago students to blase, too ultra-sophisticated to get excited, and emo-ional, about a basketball hero.Stampf was tight, and not his usualJiidisturbed self until that basketJame. When the title was his, with theapplause pouring down on him, heluickly turned to the referee and gesrtured with his elbow in what was un-loubtedly a mock discussion of sometechnicality. He did this to tide himwer the moment when he might haveoutwardly shown some of the feelingthat must come in those instnees.Enter Drama EarlyBut all of the drama did not comefrom the floor, or from the attitude ofthe spectators. The game really start¬ed long before the opening whistle“lew. Stampf was sitting in the parlorof his Sigma Chi house at about 6:16P M., with the radio on and the broth¬ers’ conversation touching on every¬thing but the game. Bob Elson’s'Ports reviewind, of part of his program discussingStampf’s chances for the Big Tenchampionship. There was no sense inturning off the program, because thatwould have only heightened the ten¬sion, so Stampf and his friends sat andlistened to Elson predict that Stampfwould break England’s margin com¬fortably, and go on to score 17 points.McCracken HecklesAnother bit of theatrical interestcame from the Indiana bench, wherethe villainish Branch McCracken heldcouncil. McCracken never tells his mento play an easy game, and he was es¬pecially aggressive during the playingtime. He shouted at the referee fromthe bench when fouls were called,and he sent in man after man withorders to help pull Stampf out fromthe pivot-line, and thus stymie hiscrown quest. The strategy back-fired,for Joe had a much better scoringchance from far out than he did on theline with a man fore and aft of him.McCracken aides took time off fromheckling the officials, and making slyinnuendos about “how Chicago shouldbe wearing the red shirts,” to com¬ment on the showing of big Jack Fons.Aside from Stampf, the Hoosiersthought Fons the only other “basket¬ball player on the floor for Chicago.” As I WasSaying-By BOB LAWSONThe Associated Press yesterday an¬nounced its selection for the All-Con¬ference basketball team and amazing¬ly omitted Joe Stampf from the firstteam, magnanimously placing him asa forward on the second team.At forwards the AP had JohnnyKotz of Wisconsin and Dick Fisher ofOhio State, Gene England, anotherBadger, at center, with Indiana’s BobDro and Illinois’ Bob Richmond atguard posts.Why Not Stampf?With four of these players there canbe no argument, but the placing ofFisher over Stampf is surely worthyof some puzzlement. If Stampf is to beplaced at forward, why is it done onthe second team? It is a strange sit¬uation when the Conference’s highscorer is overlooked in an all-star se¬lection, especially when he is as de¬serving as is Stampf.In addition to taking individualscoring honors, Joe blasted the freethrow record from the books, toppingthe old one set by Joe Reiff of North¬western by 26. He was the corner¬stone of the Maroons’ defense in addi¬tion.Team PlayerIt has been charged that Stampfsubordinated the team’s welfare to hisown. Anyone who has watched thequintet with any degree of regularitywill disagree. With the exception ofthe Indiana game under assuredly ex¬tenuating circumstances, Stampf wasdefinitely a team player. It is true hetook more shots than anyone on theteam, but that is merely a corollaryof the fact that he was also the bestplayer on the squad. If team playmeans passing to a less accurate team¬mate instead of taking a shot himselfwith fair chances of success, he wasnot a team player.The International News Serviceplaced Stampf on their first team asforward, pairing him with Don Blan-ken of Purdue. The remainder of thesquad was the same as the AP’s. Butthis combination leaves Kotz off.Badgers DeservingKotz and England, who led Wiscon¬sin for their first undisputed Big Tenchampionship since 1923, are deserv¬ing of any all-star team. Althoughonly a sophomore, Kotz had no littleto do with England’s success at thepivot post. These two quite conceiv¬ably may lead their team to the Na¬tional Collegiate title, succeeding In¬diana.Dro and Richmond had no close op¬position on either of the honorarysquads. Both have shown all seasonthe stuff of which great guards aremade. Richmond’s performance hasbeen one of the surprises of the cur¬rent season, however.

The Greek relief cam¬paign, however, is an attempt to per¬petuate dictatorial rule of the Kory-zis government. Despite rosy reportsin the press, designed to propagandizethe American people into the imperial¬ist war, the Greek people are sufferinguntold hardships as pawns of Britain’swar for empire. This is true of theGerman and Italian people as well, whoare the common victims of their rul¬ers’ mad game for colonies and mar¬kets. Reports in the New York Poststate that the discontent of the Greekpeople with the war is growing moreand more intense. The campaign ofGreek relief is bent toward one thing;the deadening of the Greek people’sdisgust with their fascist governmentthat involved them in the war. TheGreek people want neither native fas¬cism, nor the rule of British, German,or Italian imperialism thru capital in¬vestments, What they do want is free¬dom from all exploiters, native or for¬eign.When the Greek people are ready,and that time is not far off, to throwoff the yoke of Koryzis and to get outof the imperialist war, I shall supportall aid to them. (When that timecomes, we shall see the imperialistrulers of Britain and America sudden¬ly disclaim all responsibility to Greeceand try to throttle the movement to¬ward Greek democracy.)This is a policy that many Greekand Italian language newspapers inAmerica support. Rallies held jointlyby Greeks and Italians in many citieshave pointed out that the imperialistson both sides of the European war arethe enemies of the Greek and Italianpeople. With all respect for the under¬standable sentiments of many Greeksin this country, we must all of usrealize that all imperialism is our en¬emy. It brought the plain folk of allthe world into war, it is bringingAmerica into it, while it makes hugeprofits on the misery and death of thepeople.Sincerely,Perez Zagorin Re-e/ect AllenWAA PresidentCarolyn V.

KrumbeinThe Illinois oil boom, which catapul¬ted the state from eleventh to fourthplace in the United States productionin three years, has built the annualIllinois oil harvest to more than threetimes the amount of oil Hitler acquiredwhen he took over the Rumanianfields^in fact more than the productionof ajl Europe except Russia. This de¬velopment, the product of basic re¬search in geology, was cited by Dr,William C. Krumbein, assistant pro¬fessor of geology at the Universityas an example of the importance ofnon-military activity such as geologyin the conduct of modem war and ofthe role that graduates of the Univer¬sity have played in this type of activ¬ity.Dr. Krumbein was one of seven Uni¬versity of Chicago geologists who re¬counted achievements of the depart¬ment to members of the Citizens Boardof Sponsors of the University’s fiftiethanniversary celebration.Roundtable ClassifiedBOY TEN YEARS OLD WANTS TRANSPOR¬TATION from campus to Austin.
