Vol. 4I.No. 85 Z-149 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2. 1941 Price Three CentsDebateReligiousEducationCivU Liberties CommitteeSponsors Discussion.The problem of religion in publicschools which has aroused wide inter-!est in the Maroon and other city Idailies, will be discussed tomorrow'night at 7:30 in Mandel Hall in a pub¬lic meeting sponsored by the Univer¬sity Civil Liberties Committee andthe Hyde Park Branch of the ChicagoCivil Liberties Committee.Speaking in favor of the new planproposed by Superintendent of PublicSchools William Johnson will be Wil¬liam C. Bower, professor of ReligiousEducation, and Father John RyanGleason, who was appointed by Arch¬bishop Stritch to advise Johnson onreligious instruction.AgainstAgainst the proposal will be RabbiMorton Berman of Temple Isaiah Is-,rael and Mrs. Evelyn Millis Duvall, Idirector of the Association for the,Improvement of Family Living anddaughter of former professor HarryA. Millis. Norris L. Tibbits of theHyde Park Baptist Church will pre¬side over the discussion.The proposed plan would permithigh school students to receive a totalof two units of elective credit by tak¬ing religious instruction in their ownchurches. According to Johnson, theinstruction in these courses would bekept equal in quality to that offeredin regular high school classes. As theplan is now understood, studentswould not necessarily be releasedfrom regular school hours to attendreligious classes. They would also begiven credit for classes meeting onSaturdays or after school.OrganizedThe University Civil Liberties Com¬mittee was organized last quarter todefend civil liberties through educa¬tion and other appropriate activities.Norton Ginsberg is its chairman.Among those on the executive councilare Nancy Armstrong, Hyman Min¬sky, Jim Burtle, Richard Philbrick,Allen Fox, Evon Vogt, and Bob Boyer.

He also feelsthat the plan improperly tends to re¬duce the responsibility of the publicschool for developing the fundamentalvalues and attitudes of life. •Inadequate SupervisionAnother objection Chave made tothe plan, was that it proposes to givecredit for that which the school is un¬able to supervise adequately enoughto assure worthy standards in contentand method of teaching. He feels itthereby discounts the importance ofreligion. Chave also believes that theessential need is to identify religiousvalues and attitudes in the commonlife and to distribute responsibilitybetween the various agencies of thecommunity to make them meaningful and operative instead of confining thisresponsibility to the Church. Somebasic values in his estimation arebrotherly love, cooperative fellowship,and quest for truth.Still another criticism Chave offer¬ed was that the different types of re¬ligious education are not all of equalworth. Some forms of religious teach¬ing are not even democratic, and feware willing to submit their assump¬tions to critical study. There are fewpublished courses prepared for week¬day religious education at the highschool level. It would be difficult toget qualified teachers to meet theneeds of the many groups.Chave StatesInstead of the Johnson plan, Chavestated, an interfaith committee shouldidentify the basic moral and religiousvalues which should be a result ofgood teaching. The committee, Chavesaid, could also experiment with com¬munity services and festivals empha¬sizing the basic life objectives of re¬ligion rather than differences in theol¬ogy and ecclesiology. Chave also sug¬gested that each church examine itspresent program for possible improve¬ments in the use of its time beforeasking for time from already over¬crowded high school programs. Faculty Group BroadcastsReply To Hutchins ’ SpeechWorks, FilbeyMake New DraftAnnouncementStudents who were in the Univer¬sity prior to January 1 and who wishservice in the army deferred untilJuly 1, should obtain a certificate ofattendance from the Registrar’s officefor filing with the local draft board,according to an announcement madeby Dean Works and Vice-PresidentFilbey.Students desiring deferment beyondJuly 1 should clear their requeststhrough the Registrar. This appliesto both reserve officers called to dutyand to those liable for service underthe Selective Service Act.Department heads and Deans areurged not to send deferment docu¬ments to draft boards, but instead toprepare such statements as they deemto be justified by the circumstancesand send them to the Registrar. Thisis to avoid confusion wtihin the Uni¬versity or between the University andlocal draft boards and to secure uni¬form treatment of such cases as prac¬ticable.Fellows and part-students who areteaching will have their cases clearedin the same manner as other students.Student ForumSends Entries toTwo TourneysJust returned from a safari to theNational Delta Sigma Rho forensicstournament at Madison, Wisconsin,Chicago’s busy Student Forum willsend eight debaters to the Big Tentitle matches at Northwestern Uni¬versity, which begin tonight and con¬tinue for three days.

Professors Voice Their ViewsOver WGN Next Sunday.By ERNEST LEISERDirectly disagreeing with PresidentHutchins’ attitude toward the war,several faculty members will broad¬cast a nation-wide refutation of hisrecent speech over the same stationshe used at almost the same time onSunday morning.A committee of ten eminent profes¬sors under the chairmanship of W.Lloyd Warner, associate professor ofSociology, completed negotiationswith Frank Schreiber, manager ofradio station WGN, for a counter-as¬sault on Hutchins’ Chapel address.They ObjectDeclaring that although they ad¬mired Mr. Hutchins tremendously,they objected strenuously to the ar¬guments he used, Warner said thatthe committee planned to conduct thedisputation on “a very high plane”.Five or six men will speak on thehalf hour program to be carried overall Mutual Broadcasting System sta¬tions at 10:30 a.m. In order to avoidrepetition in their attacks, the menare working together to prepare theirspeeches, which when taken together,will present a complete analysis ofthe points at which they differ fromthe President.Several of the men are personalfriends of the President, and theirargument with his ideas will be afriendly one. Nevertheless, the chair¬man emphasized, it is important thatstatements as widely broadcast asHutchins’, should have as widelybroadcast a reply.BignamesFaculty bignames on the committeeinclude Alderman Paul Douglas, pro¬fessor of Economics; Jacob Viner, na¬tionally known economist, and fre¬quent advisor to President Roosevelt;(Continued on page four)AnnounceFellowshipAppointmentsFellowship appointments for theacademic year 1941-1942 were an¬nounced yesterday by Dean George A.Works, Chairman of the Committeeon Fellowships.

Reynolds, and DanielWinograd.BUSINESS ASSOCIATESLyle Harper, Myles Jarrow, Lynn Tuttle, Chester SmithNight Editor: Mark FisherPeaceful SlaveryPerhaps we were unfair, yesterday, in beingso insistent that Mr. Hutchins back up his con¬clusions with positive proof. By the very natureof the problem it is pointed out, all conclusionsmust be drawn through speculation and theprophet cannot be held to the rigid disciplineexpected from a scientist.We realize this, yet, Mr. Hutchins, himself,has repeatedly asked his opposition to produceproof for their conclusions on the same specula¬tive questions. You assume this and this, hetells us, so the burden of proof is yours. Well,then, if Mr. Hutchins expects proof for our con¬jectures is it unreasonable for us to expect atleast some convincing evidence for his? We onlyask him to share the burden of proof, whichwe are convinced he has not done.We are disappointed in Mr. Hutchins forthis failure and why he has overlooked or ig¬nored some of the most vital issues of the con¬troversy is beyond our understanding. He hastold us that war is bad, and we agree. He hastold us that our society is full of ills and thatwar is not the cure. We heartily agree. Amer¬ica’s destiny, he declares, is to work out “thegood life and the just society.” Correct, we say.It should be so. To reach these goals, he pro¬ceeds, we must be left in peace. How true, Mr.Hutchins, and so you conclude that all we needdo is simply “build our defenses and stay atpeace.” It is as simple as that!Mr. Hutchins Doesn’t SayYes, Mr. Hutchins has told us all this. Butthere is much he has not told us. He has nottold us what Hitler, and his allies might bedoing meanwhile as we go peacefully about thebusiness of fulfilling our destiny. He hasn’t evenattempted to demonstrate that peace for usis guaranteed if we blandly ignore the world con¬flict that is in progress. Mr. Hutchins only as¬sumes it. If Britain is conquered, and he hasn’tsaid it can’t be, will our peaceful and gloriousisolation be affected in any way? Mr. Hutchinsdoesn’t say. Perhaps he assumes it doesn’t mat¬ter one way or the other, but he does not tell uswhy this is the case. Two alternatives are estab¬lished; War or peace. The former is bad, thelatter good; therefore Mr. Hutchins wisely ad¬vises the latter. But any realistic person shouldsee that this is over-simplification. We can’talways have peace by merely wishing for it. Itis much more precious and much more difficultto obtain than that.Why doesn’t Mr. Hutchins make more clearthat his simple alternative of peace might onlybe a destroyed hope in case of totalitarian vic¬tory in Europe and Asia? As a rational man,how can he view the situation and remain blindto a consideration, which would seem to be ofsuch paramount significance?A Glaring ErrorHere lies the largest error in Mr. Hutchins’argument. He over-simplifies our problem. Hedisregards what seem to be the most vital ques¬tions in the debate, but does not tell us why theyshould be disregarded. He assumes this is so andthat is not so, but does not say why. Heimplies that the only danger is in our beingdrawn into the war. The burden of provingthat other dangers exist he places with us, butoffers no satisfactory proof of his own that theydo not.Perhaps we should make our position clear.What do we suggest ? The answer is simple andbrief. We believe that America should realizeher vital concern in this great conflict, and thatshe should hesitate no longer in throwing allher power and resources against the conquering dictators. Unless resisted these powers willwipe out every semblance of the democracy thatMr. Hutchins and we desire. If Britain falls, whois left to resist but America? It would be simplefolly to sit back and allow ourselves to fall intothis unhappy position.The Myth of PeaceEven if America could not fall before a mili¬tary invasion, picture an America striving dili¬gently alone to build a true democracy in aworld controlled by powerful tyrants—an Amer¬ica enjoying peace and amicable commercial in¬tercourse with totalitarian neighbors — anAmerica that fears nothing and has no concernexcept that of realizing a perfect society. Insuch a world we can only visualize ourselvesenjoying a state of “peace” that contains all thecharacteristics of a state of siege. We would bethe last strong-hold of freedom, and, by the verynature of our differences, constantly in someform of conflict with our neighbors. A state ofsiege is not far different from a state of warand as long as it would last the whole structureof our society would be designed for war. Inplace of finding the good life, our best menwould be confined to military camps. Inplace of fighting ignorance and poverty, ourscience and industry would be concerned withequiping and maintaining vast military forces.So long as powerful, aggressive, military tyran¬nies, such as those we know today, continue evento exist, the peace Mr. Hutchins advocates is amyth. W.B.H.The Traveling BazaarBy BEATA MEULLEREven in this university dedicated to noble Baptistprinciples, even in the offices, yea in the inmost sanctumsanctorum of this paper devoted to purposes of delightand instruction, even here sin has reared its ugly, uglyhead. P.C. and Dick, have taken to bathing together. Wehave tried to appeal to their sense of shame, askingthem not to do it with everyone looking on, in a publicplace like this. We have tried to appeal to their love forus, explaining that although they are young yet, theyshould know better, and it pains us to see them behavein such an unseemly manner. We have tried tears,prayers, ridicule, even threats, but nothing moves them.They are turtles, and they don’t understand.And yesterday, someone sent powderpuffs to the boysin the Ellis Co-op. Jim Burtle, Bernie (not Perez) Zagor-in and the other boys flourished them gleefully all day,except for Morris Parloflf, the five-o’clock shadow boy,who got a small piece of emery board to shave with.The girls in Foster love eagle-eyed Catty, their wildIrish rose, they love her dearly, yes they do, and yester¬day when she had been there forty years exactly, theygave her a silver rosary.The Daily Maroon, too, has its affections and virtues.We love plugs, and patronize our advertisers. Any day,for example, you can see the Board of Control, in a body,chewing placidly in the window of Spic-n-Span, and acheery sight it is.But alas, these affections and virtues do not prevailequally in Beecher. One sad night last week, noble, kindHelen Quisenberry came trudging home to her happylittle room in Beecher, only to find her wicked roommateBetty Fanning and her wicked friend Betty Rosenblatt,and other wicked people standing in the window, wavinga red light (stolen from the Psi U house) at the passers-by. Helen chided them for this behavior, and took awaythe light. But looking out the window, she saw a green1941 Buick circling around the block, and around andaround. “Oh,” said Helen. Her wicked friends all wentdownstairs, and they met the man in the green Buickwho was a man from Purdue. But they locked their well-meaning mentor in the closet first.One night before a poetry exam I dreamt aboutErnest Leiser. His happy face was floating over a type¬writer, while he wrote editorials in rhymed coupletsabout Controversial Subjects. He rhymed Hutchins withescutcheons, and (possibly referring to Dean Gilkey,)minister with bar sinister. I’m sorry I woke up.Hirsute ChorinesBy CRAIG LEMANShades of P. T.

Yet the boys all loveit.

McKinnon clippedthe ball at a .428 pace last season.Dick Erdlitz at second and Irv Madsenat third are also veterans. The firstbase post has been left vacant by thegraduation of Nick Conteas. At pres¬ent, Russ Wendland, a sophomore, ap¬pears to have the edge in the fight forfirst base. Leading sophomore infieldcandidate is Johnny Hennerich of St.Louis who is pushing Erdlitz for thesecond base assignment. Whicheverplayer loses out will be shifted to theoutfield.3 Veteran OutfieldersThree lettermen are available forthe outfield positions. They are BillDeCorrevont, who placed fifth in BigTen hitting last year with a .369 av¬erage, Henry Clason, captain-elect ofthe basketball team, and Bill Sampson.The team has one peculiar defect.There are no left-handed pitchers orbatters available. Coach Stan Kloresis evidently worried about his lack ofpitchers. Klores realizes that all theclouting DeCorrevont and McKinnonmay do will not save the Purple fromdefeat if the pitchers do not comethrough. Klores has already triedClason and Sampson on the mound,and they are potential starting pitch¬ers.Title-ContendersNorthwestern has a good chance toagain win the title. They should cer¬tainly be the hardest hitting team inthe conference. Last year the squadwas charged with more errors thanany other in the league. If this faultcan be corrected and if the pitching isfairly decent, the Purple will be ontheir way to another championship.At any rate, the Maroons have theirwork cut out for them when openingday comes around.The picture of Vice-PresidentHenry Wallace that appeared inyesterday’s Daily Maroon wasfurnished through the courtesy ofthe Chicago Herald-American andshould have been thus marked. On their way to the crown the Wis¬consin team had to down a toughDartmouth squad and then an erraticPittsburgh crew. Pitt beat a strongNorth Carolina team to meet Wiscon¬sin in the Eastern finals.All during the regular Big Ten sea¬son the Badgers showed they hadwhat it takes to be a championshipteam. When the pressure was downthey came through as evidenced bythe game they played against North¬western at Evanston. An unexpected¬ly scrappy Purple quintet forced thevisitors in to overtime before suc¬cumbing, and it took a strong rallylate in the final period by Wisconsinto force the game into overtime.Lost to MinnesotaThey opened the Conference seasonby dropping a decision to Minnesotaand then went on to win the remain¬der of their games to win their firstundisputed championhsip since 1923.Strangely enough, it was againstthis same crew that Chicago playedits best Big Ten game of the seasonwhen Wisconsin played here early onthe schedule. It almost looked forawhile as though the Maroons mightwhip their highly-favored opponents,but it just wasn’t in the cards foranyone to beat that Cardinal team.Based on EnglundBasing their attack on the pivotplay with Englund at the center post,the Badgers were very fortunate tohave a player like Kotz at a forwardDick Erdlitz. second base or outfield?the i HubC. {. ^oytA.L (11C \(,() SMORGASBORDDoes your mouth water at the sound of thatword?Satisfy that craving at the Dining Room whereSMORGASBORD is served at its best.Miss Lindquist's Dining Room5540 HYDE PARK BLVD.

SMi■i■'I '■MPage Four THE DAILY MAROON. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2. 1941Extend RegistrationFor Military CourseAfter TheWarI A BU LL SESSIONBy DAN WINOGRADOne of the ideas suggested byHutchins in his latest speech is thatif this country fights the totalitariannations, we too will become totalitar¬ian. He mentioned the Englishmanwho proprosed that England retainits war set-up for three years afterthe close of the war. That Englishmanhas a good idea.Hutchins is right. The end of thewar will find this nation totalitarian.That is the logical thing in an emer¬gency. It is just as logical to continuein that totalitarian state for a periodof years after the war, because theemergency does not end with the war.Wilson was given dictatorial powersto prosecute World War I. If he hadbeen gdven equal power to prosecutethe peace, it probably would havebeen a finer and more lasting peace.No Senate PeaceAnother war fought by this nationwith another peace fought by the Sen¬ate, will do little good. What thiscountry should do first, if it wants topresejwe the four freedoms for thefuture, is to fight Fascist menace.Maybe it will take men and guns to dopart of the job, but we are certainlywasting'a lot of time and money if wehave no plans for a war in the nearfuture. The other half of the battleagainst Fascism is on the intellectualand social front. That’s where a fel¬low like Hutchins might do somegood. The second step in saving thefour freedms is to fight after the warto establish conditions wherein thefreedoms can fiourish.Let’s Go TotalitarianTo accomplish our ends we willprobably have to fight a war. To winthat war we will go totalitarian. Thatis nothing to worry about. Americanemergency totalitarianism is notNazism. Even after the war, if wehave a leader like Roosevelt, it is safeand proper to give him wide powersto negotiate the peace settlement.After all, if the four fredoms are ourprecious jewels, then it is wise to de¬posit those jewels in a vault while webeat oflF the bandits. The jewels aresafe in the vault so long as we re¬tain the key, and in America the peo¬ple do retain that key even in timeof war.Hutchins talked of British impe¬rialism. Isn’t it about time we quitfighting the Opium War, and look to¬day’s facts in the face. We ought tobeat the Nazis, we ought to make thepresident a virtual dictator, and weought to still have our precious fourfreedoms after it’s all v'er.(The opinions in this Bull Sessionare not those of the Board of Control.Ed.)By SHIRLEE SMITHOne of Kelly Hall’s favorite land¬marks is no more. The maid, Gertrude,sentimentally referred to as “Gert,the Squirt,” has left to take a betterposition.For the past four years Gert hasbeen the main-stay of the Kelly Kids.As a pert “Mr. Anthony” she hasshared their intimate secrets, solvingperplexing problems of the heart,acting a reliable bulwark on the mostdistressing occasions.Many are the times she has assistedthe girls in getting dressed, manicur¬ing nails, fixing hair, pressing dresses,and pinning on corsages while impa¬tient dates stalked the parlor down-stars. None will forget the time sheassisted two girls in their flight downDictionary—(Continued from page one)ice” and the reader is about convincedthat the whole thing is an intellectualApril Fool’s joke. And by the timeyou come across “Lollygag” (“to loi¬ter, linger, dawdle, waste time”)you’re convinced of it.But “The Dictionary of AmericanEnglish” is no joke as you discovertowards the end of the volume. “Matchgirl” is defined as a “girl who sellsmatches.” And that really isn’t veryfunny.The complete dictionary will containabout 25 parts, which will be boundinto five large volumes.

The anecdotesabout her, numerous and invariablyhumorous, have become fables to livein the memories of every true Kelly-ite.Last night, the girls gave her afare-well Coke-Tail Party, climaxedby the presentation of a silver pin intoken of their esteem and apprecia¬tion. How sad! The Saga of “Gert, theSquirt,” is now a thing of the past.Forum—(Continued from page one)The whole procedure of the House,from verbalizing to pushing througha bill, will be imitated.

Be sure to relax completely... and don’t be afraid. There’s nopossible way you could hurt yourself,even though this is a hardwood floor.”Five young men looked at each otherhesitatingly and fell flat on theirfaces.Rehearsals for the (CooperativePlayers’ production of Winterset havebeen progressing as abnormally asdo rehearsals for any play which isstill nearly four weeks from presenta¬tion, but that isn’t enough for thePlayers’ director, Christine PalmerPeck.Teacher PeckNoticing that several of her youngactors seemed to move and act stiffly,Mrs. Peck decided that the only rem¬edy was a few lessons in body controland calisthenics. Consequently, half adozen of the less graceful members ofthe cast met in the basement of IdaNoyes Monday night, and, led by Mrs.Peck, exercised strenuously for 30minutes in their bare feet.
