Vol. 4l,No. 75 Z-149 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO. THURSDAY. MARCH 6. 1941 Price Three CentsHutchinsCommitteeAffiliatesJoins with Harvard's "Com¬mittee for Democratic Ac¬tion."Students who circulated the campuspetitions supporting President Hutch¬ins’ stand on the war, announced to¬day their affiliation with the Commit¬tee for Democratic Action, the Harv¬ard group mobilized by 66 leadingfaculty members in opposition to thelease-lend bill and the American De¬fense, Harvard Group, and in supportof the Hutchins stand on the war.Laura Berquist, chairman, explaineclthat in view of the great nation-wideresponse to Hutchins address, the com¬mittee will attempt to mobilize thesentiment of independent, liberalgroups in the Middlewest, hithertounreached by other groups, and makethem publicly effective. The committeewill use as its nucelus for action, the1000 students and 106 faculty mem¬bers, who went on record endorsingHutchins anti-war stand, and the 4500persons who wrote and wired theirapproval of his position.Answer to DebateIn answer to the heated debate be¬tween Senators Austin and Wheeleron the state of student opinionthroughout the country, the Commit¬tee yesterday wired both Senators—“We are convinced that the lease-lendbill crystallizes the viewpoint whichimplies “war if necessary;” that itgives the national go-ahead signal tothe President to place the nation on awar-time footing; and that it makesprobable, if not certain, our swift en¬try into the conflict. We oppose it notfrom motives of a selfish and impos¬sible isolationism, or because we min¬imize the danger of the Fascist pow¬ers, but because we believe that theUnited States can preserve the demo¬cratic ideal for the world at large onlyby remaining out of war and maintain¬ing a constant vigil over democracy athome.”The committee will inaugurate itsstudent program in the near futurewith a series of forums and rallieson “America and the War.”SharecroppersBenefit FromSupper TonightMembers of the National Share¬croppers Committee, which is a partof the recently organized Liberal Un¬ion, are sponsoring a supper for thebenefit of the Southern Tenant Farm¬ers Union in Ida Noyes tonight at 6.The supper is one of the manyevents scheduled throughout the na¬tion for the southern tenant farmersas a part of National Sharecroppersweek, which is held every year fromMarch 5 to March 10.

University Handicapped—MetcalfDonH Quit Basketball-StudentsNot All in Favor of PlayingBig Ten Teams.By MARK FISHERThe student body of the Universitydoes not favor the abolition of inter¬collegiate basketball but has no defi¬nite ideas on how the home brand ofthe game can be improved. This wasthe tenor of the statements made to aMaroon reporter yesterday who ques¬tioned random students on the game’sfuture at Chicago.Joe Molivup, a senior in PoliticalScience and a member of Phi KappaPsi emphatically denied that there wasany need to do away with the sport.“Let it go on just as it is,” he said,“It’s merely a matter of having bas¬ketball available for those who wish toplay. As long as it is available it ful¬fills its function at the University.”An independent student who commutesto school, Gil Linetzky, favored a “de¬emphasis of the game. Other schoolsaren’t playing purely for the fun theyget out if it and if we can’t competewith them on that basis we shouldn’tplay them.”Everything’s Allright“Basketball is playing the rsle inthe University that it should,” accord¬ing to Ruth Ahlquist, a student in theCollege and a member of Sigma. “Weshould go right on with our presentpolicy,” she added.The sole voice for abolishment wasraised by Ed Rachlin, independent,who said that “We just don’t play wellenough for,the league and would dobetter to play the game inter-mural-(Continued on page four)University WomenChoose Best MenBy BOB REYNOLDSThis is a story about the men whore the “bests” and the “mosts” in thelinion of campus women.Ash Taylor, according to the Maroonaestionnaire from which these re¬fits were taken, is the handsomestan hereabouts.

Agar DisagreesWith HutchinsTo all those who have argued forand against aid to England; toHutchins who says we have to makedemocracy work at home; to thosewho say all we have to do is beatHitler; to all these people, the fol¬lowing short statement made byHerbert Agar after his lectureTuesday night, is addressed.“I don’t know if I am more per¬turbed by my friends like Hutchinswho feel that we should be con¬cerned only with democracy athome, or with those of my friendswho say all we have to do b beatHitler and then everything will beall right. Of course we must do bothof these things. The task facingAmerica today is to see that theHitler revolution is stopped, and atthe same time to attempt to builda true democracy. One is impossiblewithout the other.”Pfiaum, ColeSpeak At GreekRelief Rally“Germany is in no position to un¬dertake a large scale war in the Bal¬kans either from a political or a mil¬itary point of view,” said IrvingPfiaum, foreign editor 'of the DailyTimes, in a speech last night at aGreek War Relief Rally in MandelHall.Consequently, the noted foreign cor¬respondent continued, the remarkableresistance which the Greek army ismaking against Italy may result in apartial victory for the former. Greecemay be making a grave mistake, how¬ever, in confining British aid to theair rather than allowing England togive all the aid it will, said Mr.Pfiaum.Turning to the Balkans, the notedjournalist spoke of the world import¬ance of that region and of the problemthe Balkans have always constituted.“The last world war did not begin tosolve the problems of the Balkans,” hesaid. And today, Mr. Pfiaum continued,these small states which are so veryimportant in determining the outcomeof the present war are “more or lesslost to Britain.”Preceding Mr. Pfiaum at the speak¬er’s rostrum, Mr. Hugh Cole of theUniversity History department spokeon “Blitzkrieg in the Balkans.” Themethods of warfare the Germanarmies are using in the present warapparently negate the belief that hasbeen held for so many years that inwarfare the individual is most import¬ant, said the young war strategist.Yet the Greek campaign is teachingus that “the individual is still an im¬portant cog in warfare, and he is mosteffective when he knows why he isfighting,” Mr. Cole pointed out. An¬other lesson the present war is makingclear, said the speaker, is that “in thefuture American military policy can¬not be based upon the number of shipsneeded to move troops across the At¬lantic.”The meeting was sponsored byYouth for Democracy and was presid¬ed over by Joe Molkup. Doctor PhillipConstantinides represented the Amer¬ican Greek War Relief Association onthe speakers platform.Band AnnouncesSpring ScheduleDirector Harold Bachman announcesthe spring quarter schedule of the Uni¬versity Band. Besides the usual Twi¬light Concerts, several short trips arescheduled.The regular band will hold rehears¬als Tuesdays at 7, starting March 25.The practice band, an organization forbeginners to give them experience willrehearse Wednesdays at 3:30. Other-Schools Have Numeri¬cal Advantage.“Disregarding completely any otherfactors, such as recruiting or alumnisubsidization, the University has nochance at all to compete on an equalbasis with other Western Conferenceteams in sports which require largenumbers of participants,” insisted T.Nelson Metcalf, University director, inan interview yesterday.“The larger schools outnumber usten to one in the number of men eligi¬ble for participation in Big Tensports,” Metcalf said, “and even thesmaller ones have a three to one nu¬merical advantage. On the level of in¬tercollegiate athletics, Chicago is asmall school.”Better in Small SportsThe athletic director explained theexcellent showing that Chicago hasmade in such sports as tennis, gym¬nastics, and water polo in recent years,by pointing out that in such sports wehave either had superior coaching, bet¬ter facilities, or greater interest thanthe other schools.”In sports, however, in which thereare many competitors, Chicago hasnot been able to equal the otherschools in the Big Ten, ever since theyears that they passed us in numberof eligible students. Their enrollmenthas increased prodigiously, while thecomposition of our student body haschanged, so that while our enrollmenthas remained about the same, thenumber of transfer students has in-(Continued on page three)Devote WeekTo All-CampusReligious MeetBy MARY GRAHAMFor some time there has been awidespread questioning by many stu¬dents of the bases upon which judge¬ments of right and wrong are made.While students have been discussingthe Lease-Lend bill, the means wehave of relieving suffering and aidingjustice and the very rightness orwrongness of the present war, severalof the Chapel organizations have feltthat the discussion would be muchmore fruitful if more emphasis wereplaced on the principles which under¬lie all judgements of right and wrong.Now they have banded together aid¬ed by the Board of Social Service andReligion to give the entire campus achance to examine the fundamentalbases of action in an All-Campus Con¬ference on “Religion and the SocialOrder” which will be held during Eas¬ter Week from April 6 to 13.Small GroupsDuring the week the campus will beinvited to meet in small informalgroups under the leadership of ablemembers of the faculty and the com¬munity to raise the problem of therecognition of right and wrong in re¬lation to particular situations. Thiswill place before many students thenecessity o f finding i n themselvessome standard of action and for stu¬dents ^who have already found thisstandard, the opportunity to re-ex¬amine their own answers and to sharethem with others.The Chapel organizations do not ex¬pect that one week will bring forthany solution or even do anything morethan stimulate student minds in thesearch for truth. But if students ar¬rive at a clearer picture of what theystand for and why enough will havebeen accomplished.Organizations Take PartAll campus organizations, clubs,fraternities, dormitories and co-opera¬tives will be invited to take part inthe week by having one or two leadersmeet with them at the same time thatsmall meetings in Ida Noyes andfaculty homes will be serving the restof the campus. Focal points of thisweek will be a talk by Douglas Steere,professor of the philosophy of religionat Haverford College on Thursday.Page Two THE DAILY MAROON. THURSDAY.

Reynolds, and DanielWinograd.BUSINESS ASSOCIATESRobert Dean, Lyle Harper, and Myles Jarrow.Night Editor: Richard PhilbrickForward!A scholarly-looking young man whom weonly know as “Marty Siegrist” writes a scholar¬ly-looking sports column called “Forward!” inthe University of Wisconsin Daily Cardinal. Asof yesterday we have become regular readersof the sprightly and well-informed daily con¬tribution ot American literature.He says that President Hutchins, that “ex¬child prodigy who is getting gray around thetemples, is on the loose again.” He is on theloose because he uttered a hearty “Amen” toNorthwestern Physical education professorKranz’ statement that there is too much em¬phasis and money spent on a few competitivesports, and that there are many flaws in oursports program.Good man, this SiegristMr. Siegrist takes issue with Mr. Hutchins,just on principle. This is completely meritorious,but Mr. Siegrist should have sense enough tostop there. Then everyone would agree with him.But he offers two reasons for repudiatingMr. Hutchins, which make him look rather sil¬ly. He says, first, “by playing tennis, golf, soft-ball, and the more strenuous sports such asfootball and basketball, an American can keepjust as fit as a Nazi.” How true, Mr. Siegrist.But an American can likewise keep fit as a fid¬dle (Nazi) by engaging in equally strenuous in¬tramural touchball, in the really strenuous ifunderemphasized sports such as water polo,or in sports which require such precision asfencing. These sports make for physical de¬velopment as well as do football or basketball.And at present they have none of the perniciouseffects that the overemphasized sports havetoday.Sound SiegristHis second reason, “competitive athleticsdevelops leadership and initiative” is quitesound. So what ? Mr. Hutchins never denied thatthey didn’t. But he would maintain that thereare other and equally effective ways of learningleadership and initiative—through competitionin scholarship for example—and even if therewere not, leadership and initiative could still beinspired by competitive sports conducted at aproper level of emphasis—intercollegiate tennis,swimming, water polo, for example, or intra¬mural touchball or six-man football.Although we are firm in our resolve to readMr. Siegrist because he has fine principles—heis determined to attack Mr. Hutchins whetherMr. Hutchins is right or wrong—we are disap¬pointed in him. Mr. Hutchins is right in thisparticular argument, and by his specious argu¬ments, Mr. Siegrist makes him look even moreright. This is a sad state of affairs. E. S.

The Traveling BazaarBy DICK HIMMELEd Rachlin. . . currently and intermitently the University’s bestdressed, best looking, smoothest man has really becomea man. He thought his adolescent days were over whenhe joined forces with Hutchins and Adler to put overtheir famous History and Culture class, but the masterminds were not potent enough to make a man of slickRachlin. Do you know what did it? In all modesty Ianswer, THE DAILY MAROON. Yes, Mr. Rachlin start¬ed working yesterday morning for the business staffof this paper. He didn’t start small. No Johnson’s comergrocery store for him, he was set to tackle big business.So pulling himself out of bed at seven o’clock, he dressedhimself in his smoothest business man clothes, hobbledout in the cold light of day, took a deep breath of resig¬nation, and slid into his Cadillac. Struggle though itwas, Rachlin was off to the loop to whoop up Daily Ma¬roon business.“Look Buddy“The first organization to get a hinge at Mr.Rachlin’s newly mown face was Saks Fifth Avenue . . .the store that makes debutantes look like they oughta... and Mr. Rachlin was intent that he make Saks looklike they oughta before they make him look like heoughta. Well, Saks has a woman in charge of the ad¬vertising department. This was a snap for Rachlin.Women ... he knocks them off like flies. He had to waita while to see her, however, so he amused himself bystraightening his tie, plucking stray eyebrows, and shin¬ing his shoes on the back of his trousers. Finally thewoman executive was ready to see Mr. Rachlin. As hesauntered in the secretary stopped him and said, “Look,Buddy, straight from the shoulder. She’s aging. Shedon’t fall for lines anymore. Straight from the shouldershe doesn’t advertise in college papers anyway. But ourMr. Rachlin was’t discouraged . . . Women, those arethings you knock over like bowling pins. So, in he was,face to face with a woman executive. “I’m from theDaily Maroon,’’ he drawled, with Harvard not faraway, “You all really should advertise in our paper.’’. . . “Young man,’’ she said, “We don’t advertise in highschool papers.’’ . . . This licked even our Mr. Rachlin.Cruel Cold WorldDepressed, yes . . . but discouraged no . . . Rachlintripped back to the cold morning. It was awful cold andMr. Rachlin needed bracing. After spending the betterpart of two hours hob-nobbing in Michigan Avenuejoints, Mr. Rachlin garnered enough courage to face hisCadillac and the cruel cold world again.Now A. Starr Best is a man’s store. They don’t caterto a select clientele necessarily, because I bought a tie thereonce and they didn’t hesitate to sell it to me. Of coursewhen I came to the counter they explained they didn’tgive any handouts, but I took that as no indication oneway or the other. But lets get back to Rachlin meetinglife face to face. In he trotted smooth as a picture to seethe nice gentlemen in A Starr Best’s advertising dept.“You from the University of Chicago? You mean thatjoint that puts up with Hutchins. Why that manshouldn’t be president of a reform school let alone of auniversity. Why, did you hear that speech he made onthe radio? Of all the damned fat-heads. I advertise inthe Tribune. That’s a good paper. You can get the hellout of here.’’ His tongue still virgin territory, Rachlinwas again the beaten advertising man trodding thestreets of Chicago in his olive green car. Place afterplace he tried. Dusk fell. Night fell. He fell. It was morethan any man could bear without some bracing.Success at LastSo in went our hero to the Capitol lounge, one of theloop’s chummiest little bars, to be cheered by liquid andamused by swing. He met the manager there. They hada couple of drinks together. Look for Capitol lounge ad¬vertisements in the Daily Maroon. Our man Rachlin isa success. He faces the world with a mighty chest, tail¬ored by Brooks Bros. He laughs at the world with a faceshaven by Palmer House barbers. Mr. Rachlin is a manand the Maroon loves him for it.Morale:. . .

THURSDAY, MARCH 6, 1941Wrestlers^ Swimmers CompeteIn Big Ten Meets TomorrowChicago Tankers Send FiveMen Against MichiganChamps in Conference Final.Overshadowed by the presence ofthe champion Michigan entourage, afive man University of Chicago swim¬ming team makes its next to last startof the season when they slip into theIowa pool Friday night for the BigTen finals. Led by Art Bethke, theMaroons have sent sophomore BillBaugher, Leo Luckhardt, Craig Mooreand John Crosbie against powerfulrepresentatives from all the WesternConference schools.Confident that they will at least wina place in the Medley Relay, and pointsin the 60, 100, and 200-yard swims,the Maroons are not conceded theslighest chance of even coming closeto the defending Wolverines, or thechallenging Iowa, Ohio State, or Min¬nesota squads.Bethke Bremat-StrokeaBethke, the powerful junior hub onCoach Mac Gillivray’s depleted 1941aquatic edition, will enter the breaststroke event, and swim anchor in themedley relay. Baugher, the biggestpoint-winner on the team this season,has a tough job ahead of him in the220, and 440 free style events. Luck-hanlt mans the Maroon guns in the50- and 100-yard trials, with Mooretaking over the backstroke duties.Crosbie, the diligent sophomore findwho never has dived in competition be¬fore this season, has merited thespring board assignment at the Hawk-eye water stadium.The Maroons, handicapped by thescholastic troubles of Captain JohnArgali, have had a sad year from anyview-point. Starting the season withnot one backstroker on the squad, theC-mon beat North Central, and thenwent into a coma against Iowa, Min¬nesota, Purdue, and Northwestern, re¬spectively, before waking up to tri¬umph over Notre Dame. Craig Moorecame out for the back-stroke in aboutthe middle of the season, and has justrounded into anything remotely re¬sembling swimming form. McGillivraybanked heavily on Paul Jordan whenthe season opened, but sinus troubleand the Mayo clinic has kept him onthe inactive list.Michigan FavoriteMichigan is the reigning favoriteto repeat their flag performance ofa year ago, and Matt Mann, the Wol¬verine coach, has predicted that hisswimmers will score between 80 and95 points to win their twelfth confer¬ence title in 16 years.With the lone exception of EarlClark, Ohio State’s untouchable diver,“Harmon U.” is expected to furnish agoodly number of firsts, along with agreat proportion of the most import¬ant second, and third places. TheWolves have entered four times asmany men as the Maroons have sent,with 20 names on the starter’s list.Eliminate ChicagoSquash PlayersThree Chicago players were elimi¬nated in the City Squash Champion¬ships last week, playing in the “B”Tournament. They were Bill Stevens,Gene Leuning, and Dr. F. H. Wright.Six players are left in the Intra¬mural Squash Tournament. HarveyRubin and Ted Knock are playing forthe finals, while Gene Folks, SyHirschberg, Marty Levinson, and TotoMcCormick are competing for thesemi-finals.Next year Paul Derr, squash coach,hopes that the Tournament may beheld on the basis of three-men teamsvying for points for their respectivehouses. This playing for points is thecase with several other sports on thecampus, and Derr would like to seethe squash Tournament set up in alike manner.To promote interest in both squashand handball, the University initiatedpyramid tournaments in the two sportslast fall. They provide constant com¬petition for all members wishing toplay regularly, as there are no elimi¬nations. Any boy can challenge theplayer above him, and if victorious.Will be raised in relative position onthe scoreboard hung above the weststand lockers.Pledging NoticePhi Kappa Psi announces the pledg-of Paul Vollner of Cincinnati,Ohio. As I WasSaying—By BOB LAWSONWith a tempest about football engulfing the Maroon office it is a reliefto find little odds-and-ends in the sportworld that mean very little in the wayof world-shaking results, yet are in¬teresting.For example, the fact that the in¬door track meet is being held at Pur¬due this year, despite the fact that thetrack there is one of the worst in theConference. The coaches and athleticdirectors last winter took the meetaway from the Fieldhouse for the firsttime since it was built because theywere in a pique at Chicago’s droppingof football. The slow times and badlegs the competitors will probably endup with should convince the coachesthat football or no football, Chicagoshould hold the indoor meet next year.Then there’s the late but amusinganecdote about the gymnasts who ap¬pear in Mirror. After PeeCee Rubins’column quoting someone about theBartlett stench Thursday night, theboys appeared the next night in sweet-pea perfume and were the back-stagebane.The Royal Order of the Sour Grapeshould extend an invitation to theDaily Cardinal of Wisconsin. The pa¬per certainly deserved it by its issueyesterday in which they made no men¬tion of Joe Stampf beating out theirfair-haired boy, Gene England. Thepaper did have an article, however,telling about England’s feat in settinga school individual scoring record. Buthe still couldn’t beat our Joe.Branch McCracken may turn outgood basketball teams, but he certain¬ly is no mental giant. Riding the Ma¬roons all during the game Mondaynight, his prize remark was, “Thereare only two universities—the Univer¬sity of Chicago and the University ofMoscow.’’ He was really quite im¬pressed with his bon mot and con¬tinued for quite awhile in this vein.Such thinking machines do PhysicalEducation departments time out.Bad news for the Maroon wrestlingteam is the squib sent out by Michiganon its wrestling captain. Bill Combs.During his freshman year Bill suc¬ceeded in rocking out a set of bridge-work from the mouth of an opponent,the total value of which was estimatedat $150. Early in the current seasonhis rugged tactics resulted in a con¬cussion for one of his opponents.Strangely enough, his nickname is“Wildcat.’’ Willis, Littleford, Hope ofMaroon Grapplers; Michi¬gan Favorites.Coach Vorres has picked a squad ofsix men to compete in the WesternConference meet to be held in Colum¬bus, Ohio, this Friday and Saturday.Sam Zafros 135 lb.. Bud Bates 146lb., Frank Getz 165 lb., Captain WillisLittleford 166 lb.'. Bob Mustain 176lb., and Milt Weiss, heavyweight, willfight for the old Maroon.All ten conference schools will berepresented in the meet. The winnerof the meet will be conference cham¬pion. Dual meets held during theseason do not affect the standings.Indiana and MichiganIndiana and Michigan are heavyfavorites by virtue of their experi¬enced squads. Ohio and Purdue aregiven an outside chance, and Minne¬sota is expected to pick up a few straypoints. Chicago’s chances are slim,only hope being the garnering of afew points. The Maroons boast of nooutstanding wrestlers, and Littlefordand Weiss are the only seniors on thesquad.During the season Chicago had fourBig Ten meets meeting Northwesterntwice and Iowa and Wisconsin once.Of these four contests the Iowa battlewas the only one lost.

Willie lost only one match outof nine this year, but this was againstthe 165 lb. representative from Iowa.Littleford’s chances of winning thetitle for his division are thereforepractically nil, but he is expected toprovide some points.Heavyweights ToughNot much is expected of Milt Weissalthough he has been a fairly consis¬tent winner during the season.

Despite the defeats that Chicagohas suffered—ever since 1926, Metcalfpointed out—the basektball team hasput up a “reasonably good scrap, whenyou take .each game by itself.” It wasjust unfortunate, this year, that al¬though we beat teams which beatConference teams, we could never besta conference rival.Pointing out that the argument pre¬sented in the Maroon editorial to theeffect that schools of physical educa¬tion should be abolished as “snapcourses” was invalid, Metcalf arguedthat more men flunk out of physicaleducation courses and are declared in¬eligible than in any other curricularfield. “Don’t confuse the modern phys¬ical education schools with the old timephysical culture courses. Typicalcourses include physiology, chemistry,anatomy, and sociology and practicalcourses in “principles of coaching” arenot even counted toward eligibility.”He also said that there are absolutelyno athletic scholarships in the BigTen.Chicago is in a unique and unfortu¬nate postion so far as finding competi¬tors is concerned, he concluded. “Don’tthink we haven’t scoured the countrylooking for opponents our size! Butuntil we find them, we are making thebest of the situation.”British War Relief SocietypresentsMAURICE EVANSin'Shakespeare in the News'Studebaker TheatreMarch 16th 2:30$2.00, $1.50, $1.00, .50Tickets Available atThe Studebaker Box OfficeThe information Office Chicago has not met during the prac¬tice season.The other men on the squad arejuniors and sophomores and are en¬tered in the meet mainly for the pur¬pose of experience.

Following the summer quarter, theUniversity will hold an academic fes¬tival from September 26 to 29.First Session in 1894“The summer quarter is particular¬ly significant this year in the light ofthe fiftieth anniversary, since WilliamRainej^ Harper, the first president, wasthe originator of the summer quarterpractice,” commented Dean Huth. Thefirst summer quarter session was heldin 1894.Among the institutes and confer¬ences scheduled are the sixth Institutefor Librarians in Service, this yeardealing with mass communicationsand public opinion, August 4-9; theseventeenth annual Harris FoundationInstitute, this year discussing “ThePolitical and Economic Implications ofInter-American Solidarity”, July 7-16; Pastors’ Institute, July 28-August9; and the eighth Conference on Busi¬ness Education, June 26 and 27.A special Institute on Medieval Cul¬ture, dealing with aspects of medievaluniversities, will be held July 2-August20. // Ken" Is NewestNeighborhood MovieThe University community’snewest theatre, the Ken, located at1225 East Forty Seventh Streetfeatures some of the most spectac¬ular interior decorating to be foundin a neighborhood show in the city.Opened the middle of last monththe theatre is finished in an ultramodern style and is equipped withthe latest in air conditioning equip¬ment and pushback seats.

The quarter is planned to make allcourses available in a three-year ro¬tation schedule.Thirty-two distinguished educatorshave been appointed as visiting pro¬fessors and lecturers for the summerquarter. Largest increases are in thedivisions of the social and physicalsciences, with eight and six additionsrespectively.Tri-Weekly ConcertsAmong other features of the Uni¬versity of Chicago’s summer quarterprogram will be tri-weekly organ con¬certs by the famous French organistMarcel Dupre, who will likewise con¬duct a master organ class.Greatest concentration of courses inthe forthcoming summer quarter isfound in the department of education,with its faculty of 40 professors con¬ducting a total of 71 courses.The department will present sixworkshops covering all levels of edu¬cation. Originated in 1936 by Dr.Ralph W. Tyler, chairman of the de¬partment, the workshop method en¬ables teachers to plan courses anddevelop methods of teaching in coop¬eration with fellow teachers under theguidance of curriculum and examina¬tion experts. Present labor disturbances are a“perfectly natural phenomenon of thetimes” and the result of a jockeyingfor position between industry and la¬bor as the big job of arming the coun¬try begins.These disturbances should be endedvoluntarily soon, however, or thereis a “good possibility” that the gov¬ernment will take over vital industriesand set up compulsory arbitrationboards.W’arning against over publicizing ofcurrent labor disturbances. Dean Wil¬liam H. Spencer, of the School ofBusiness, expressed these opinions inan address last night before the Chi¬cago Association of Credit Men, in theLaSalle hotel.“Strikes in the last six weeks havegiven the government gfreat concern,but the press and radio tend to givethem prominence out of proportion totheir importance,” Dean Spencer said.“They are perfectly natural phenom¬enon, and always apparent as a greatindustrial effort gets underway.“There is, however, a good possibil¬ity that within three months the gov¬ernment will ask defense industriesto submit to legislation forcing post-ponment of strikes if there is not avoluntary settlement before that time.“Since 1926 the railroads have post¬poned the right to strike and therehave been no strikes since that time.“The obvious thing for the Presi¬dent to do is set up the proposed LaborDefense Mediation Board immediately.This board would be comparable to theWar Labor Board of 1918 which ef¬fectively handled over 12,000 cases.“Labor need have no fear that anyof its tremendous gains made in thelast ten years will be taken away.Labor can also be assured that indus¬try will not make the excessive prof¬its of the last war. As for conscriptionof labor, that woud be a terrible politi¬cal mistake, as well as nearly impos¬sible because of practical difficulties,”Basketball—(Continued from page one)Cross Country—The sports staff of the Aquin, week¬ly at St. Thomas college (St. Paul,Minn.), recently claimed a distinctionin that each of its members had aknowledge of at least three foreignlanguages. In the aggregate, the staf¬fers could write “the old apple wasknifed through the bucket for the win¬ning tally in the last minute of thefinal quarto” in these tongues: Greek,Latin, German, French, Anglo-Saxon,Spanish and Italian.Not to be outdone, the generalnewsmen announced they are familiarwith all seven of these, plus Hebrew,Slovak, Dutch and Russian. ly.” Coach Norgren came in for hisshare of criticism from Bob Koenig, asenior and an officer in the Inter-Church Council, whose opinion wasthat “with good coaching and the ma¬terial we can get honestly we wouldbe able to hold our own in the BigTen.” Bob Stuhr, a member of DeltaKappa Epsilon, blamed the failure ofthis year’s team on lack of practice.“We’ve got potentially good material,”he added, “and with enough practicewe could win some games.”Hopeful NoteGuido Weigend, an independent stu¬dent in the College, frankly acknowl¬edged that he “didn’t know what wecan do to improve but is definitelyagainst quitting the Conference. Mosthopeful note of the day was struck byJack Jefferson who said “Our teamshave been allright in the past and thecontent of this year’s games give hopeof a better future for the team.”Beauty QueensAll Cap and Gown Beauty Queencontestants are to meet tomorrowafternoon in the W.A.A.

Fresh-air fiends whohad opened their windows nice andwide the night before bemoaned theirmadness as their rooms stayed filledwith icy air all day. Fosterites piledthe wo^ high in the living room fire¬place and gathered round the onlywarm spot in their hall.Finally some other building alsoserved by the same pipe line, gallantlyallowed a little steam which camethrough at half hour intervals to betransferred to the dorms, until the linewas permanently fixed and the womenhad a chance to warm up.The release of this story cleared upa mystery which had the campus puz¬zled for several hours. It seems agoodly number of the dorm girls hadreturned fraternity pins and were re¬buking admirers. They were not play¬ing hard to get, as originally thought.They were just cold.Mortar Board announces the pledg¬ing of Norma Glass of Glencoe, HI.
