Hehas the honor of having won moregymnastics championships than anyother coach in the United States.Brightest period in Hoffer’s coach¬ing career was the period from 1911to 1939 when his teams came throughSocialist ClubWalks Out OnPeace StrikeBy ELIZABETH WATERSViolently claiming that they wouldrefuse to work on a minimum pro¬gram for peace and that they wereagainst not war itself but imperialwar, representatives of the StudentSocialist Club rose in a body and im¬pressively marched out from a meet¬ing of the University April 23rd PeaceAction Committee yesterday after¬noon in Rosenwald 2. The action cameafter the refusal of the committeeto adopt the Socialist program forthe peace strike scheduled for April23.Report Unanimously AcceptedThe report of the Education Com¬mittee recommending a minimum pro¬gram for the Peace Strike was unani¬mously accepted by the Peace StrikeCommittee, of which Robert Arm¬strong is chairman. Main points in theprogram include the platform policiesof no convoys, no interference withsmall countries, the defense of democ¬racy, color, and education, the defenseof minorities, and an end to Anti-Semitism.

Brumbaugh statedthat the dinner gave “many people anopportunity to express their point ofview.”“Such meetings,” said Brumbaugh,“should contribute to the solving ofmany problems.” It was his opinionthat the spontaneous questions askedby fraternity men showed “clear anddefinite thinking.” Brumbaugh wasthe principal speaker at the dinnerMonday night.Also in favor of annual inter-fra¬ternity dinners was Charles Percy,president of the inter-fraternity coun¬cil. The decision on holding annualdinners, he indicated, however, wouldrest with the new inter-fraternitycouncil.At the dinner Monday night Brum¬baugh discussed the aims of frater¬nities and pointed how they hadsucceeded and failed in attaining thesegoals. He also supported deferredrushing on the ground that it facili¬tated orientation and adjustment. Himmel, JimTedrow Vie ForD.A. PresidencyNominations for three positions onthe Dramatic Association Board weremade yesterday afternoon. Opposingeach other in the presidential racewill be Jim Tedrow, member of PhiDelta Theta and present productionmanager, and Richard Himmel, an in¬dependent and D. A. treasurer.Running for the post of BusinessManager are Pat Lyding, member ofMortar Board, and Ray Oakley of PhiDelta Theta. The position of Produc¬tion Manager will be filled either byBob Stierer, a member of Alpha Del¬ta Phi or Chloe Roth.Elections will be held next Wednes¬day from 2:30 to 6:30 in the Dra¬matic Association’s office in MitchellTower. All D.

The candidatesfor next year’s positions were madeby the Seniors of the present board.Last production to be staged bythis year’s group will be “Yes, MyDarling Daughter,” scheduled to openThursday night. The play concernsthe troubles of a young girl who isendeavoring to spend a quiet week-endwith her lover, who is soon to depart.Complications caused by her parents,friends and relatives, make it a de¬lightful comedy.Hutchins SpeaksAt Louisiana U.President Hutchins will deliverthree lectures on “Education andCitizenship” at Louisiana State Uni¬versity under the Edward DouglasWhite Foundation. The first lecture isscheduled for April 24th, the othertwo for the 25th. The lectures will notdeal with his views on the war.A rumor that Hutchins and SenatorWayland “Curley” Brooks were plan¬ning a speaking tour was not con¬firmed. Rumors about Hutchins havebeen flying thick and fast Fromwhence they come nobody seems toknow but no sooner is one rumor ofthe President squelched by the Ma¬roon and press relations than newones take its place. With so many gorgeous pairs oflegs to choose from, judges find it ex¬tremely difficult to pick the shapeli¬est in the “Dust It Off” chorus of theAnnual Blackfriars Show which willbe presented in Mandel Hall begin¬ning April 25.Miss Dorothy King, Dance Director,solved the problem by naming two“chorines” of equal merit. Mingledfeelings of amusement, amazementand admiration played on her coun¬tenance as she eyed the struttingchorus. 'The hairy muscular pins ofMintek, the silo-like appendages ofFlorian, and the rubbery limbs of LenFisher all received due considerationand were dismissed for minor faults.From the 1941 crop Miss Kingfinally chose two chorines whose legsFederated BiologySociety HoldsAnnual ConventionIn celebration of the University’sfiftieth anniversary year, the Federa¬tion of American Societies for experi¬mental Biology is holding its annualconvention this week in Chicago at adowntown hotel. A large number ofuniversity graduates and members ofthe faculty are attending the confer¬ence.Among those who are reading pa¬pers at the meeting are Doctor Frank¬lin F. Snyder, assistant professor ofobstetrics and gynecology here, aformer faculty member. Doctor Rob¬ert V/. Keeton, head of the depart¬ment of medicine at the University ofIllinois, Doctor Heinrich Necheles, as¬sistant professor of physiology. Doc¬tor E. S. Guzman Barron, assistantprofessor of biochemistry, and DoctorJacob Sacks, assistant professor ofpharmacology at the University ofMichigan, a graduate of this Univer¬sity. are undoubtedly among the finest ofrecent years, blond Duval Jaros andlithe Earl Ratzer. Jaros, Psi U, isworking in the chorus for the firsttime. His smooth curves would or¬dinarily place him far in the lead, butCross Country Runner Ratzer’s gor¬geous gams, while not so smooth per¬haps, are just as finely molded. AsMiss King said, “it’s a toss up.”Brad Shaves Legs, JudgesMustachesBrad, Reynolds Club barber, will bea busy man just before opening night.First, he wields his huge razor on thehairy legs and feathered briskets ofthe chorus. On Friday noon of theshow, Brad judges the hideous resultsof the senior mustache race.Every year the crafty clippersprings a couple of new tricks fromhis judging repertoire. For a sur¬prise and quarter-hour of hilarity,turn up at the C bench a week fromFriday noon when the seniors meet toget bristles judged and justice done!Interclub Sets .Date For SingInterclub Council has set Saturdayafternoon. May 17, as the date thisyear for the annual Interclub Sing.Thirteen clubs are expected to par¬ticipate in the Sing which is sched¬uled to start at 3:00 o’clock in thegardens of Ida Noyes.Rules already passed by the councilin reference to the sing include thedecision that each club will presenttwo songs, the exclusion of soloists,and the prohibition of any club fromwearing uniforms purchased especial¬ly for the occasion, although match¬ing sweaters and skirts are not in¬cluded under this category.Further plans for the Sing, includ¬ing the selection of judges, are to bemade soon.Missing: One Freshman Council!Schwab Calls Group A VacuumMaroon sleuths were searching allly yesterday for the freshman coun-I that was elected with so much en-usiasm in the fall quarter. From'a liable evidence the council hascd an all too natural death.“Don’t Know”Bob Dille, who was elected pres¬ent of the council, could not beund. Betsy Kuh who played a sig-ficant part in founding the councilis somewhat uncertain as to justlat it was doing at the present time,le pointed out however that it hadonsored one student faculty outingid had conducted some sort of arvey. She said she was all in favorthe council. Dean Leon P. Smithid he had lost track of what theuncil was doing.Joe Schwab, faculty sponsor of theuncil, issued the following state¬ ment to the Maroon after being in¬formed of the general absence of anyevidence of Freshman council ac¬tivity: “To the best of my knowledge,the officers of the freshman class boththis year and last did nothing of anyvalue except get themselves elected.If and when they can discover somefunction to serve in the Universityand exhibit sufficient drive and intel¬ligence to serve this function well, Iwill feel that I am faculty sponsorof something more than a vacuum.”“I myself am frankly at a loss asto what new things freshmen can doas freshmen. As sophomores theycould certainly do a great deal forthe next crop of freshmen. Theymight however consider the possibil¬ity of doing more efficiently as fresh¬men some of the things now beingdone by other organizations.” Elections are High SpotThe Maroon is making an effort tocontact Dille and find if he has anymore light to throw on the activitiesof the council.The election of freshmen councilshas in the past aroused the interest ofmany a visitor to the university. Ithas usually involved driving gailypainted autos around the circle withthe hope of stampeding the electorateto some candidate.Two years ago Allen “Keep a Smileon the Campus” Dreyfuss was electedclass president in a hard fought elec¬tion. That year was peculiar for con¬siderable activity on the part of thecouncil. It even sponsored a pie eat¬ing contest in which Dreyfuss wasdefeated by a doughty pig from thestock yards.Page Two THE DAILY MAROON.

RachlinNight Editor: Jim BurtleSocial Science ICompared with what is offered in other uni¬versities, the social science I course achievesdesirable results. Students finishing the coursecan usually spot a large number of the popularfallacies that are most frequently bandiedabout relative to social problems.The chief difficulties in the course have beenlack of apparent organization of content and acertain absence of forcefulness on the part ofmany of the instructors. The lack of organiza¬tion is probably explainable in the very natureof the social sciences which cannot be fitted intoconvenient cubby holes and studied one at atime. The gi'eat difficulty in the course lies inthe failure of many of the instructors to reallysell the material. It is also unfortunately truethat, unlike in the biological and physicalscience survey courses, few of the top lecturersin the social sciences give even guest lectures inthe course.Resigning MembersThe three resigning members of the SocialScience I staff have done more than their sharein making the course worth while. Unless theyare replaced, however, by equally enthusiasticand popular instructors, it cannot be deniedthat the course will be a let-down from the dayswhen Gidionese, Wirth, and Kerwin deliveredmost of the lectures.What needs particularly to be avoided onthe faculty of the college are men who are goodscholars, good research workers, but poor teach¬ers. One of the cardinal points in presidentHutchins original idea of the college plan wasthat research would be divorced from teachingin the first two years of the University and thatmembers of the college faculty would devotemost of their time to teaching. It was also ex¬pected that opportunities for advancementwould be about equally good in the college andthe divisions. In the course of time it appearedhowever that faculty members in the divisionsadvanced more rapidly than those in the col¬lege. The result has been a tendency to shiftfrom the college into the divisions.If the courses in the college are going to im¬prove or maintain their present standards, theyshould cater to enthusiastic teachers ratherthan research workers. There should also besufficient opportunity for advancement offeredto members of the college staffs to provide in¬centive for staying in the college.J. B.The Navy and DemocracyIf we can believe a well documented storyappearing in the Harvard Crimson, the UnitedStates Naval Academy at Annapolis deservessevere censure from everyone who believes thatracial discrimination has no place in a democ¬racy.According to the Crimson, Annapolis re¬fused to play the Harvard lacrosse team untilarrangements were made to bench a Negro var¬sity player. We might be inclined to forget sucha flagrant example of racial prejudice if An¬napolis was a small snobbish, private school.But the Naval Academy is not an institution The Traveling BazaarBy ERNEST LEISERMore evidences of spring are the practically nudewomen studying on the Beecher fire escape, and thebridge games going on furiously on the grass outsideof every class.

Warfield.Four-way stretch. . . Competing with the Four-Way for the social high¬light of Friday night is the Freudian Frolics of the El¬lis Co-op. Next Saturday Jim Burtle has invited all ofthe Maroon staff, who aren’t going to the four way(this includes Shirlee Smith, who objects to it in prin¬ciple, and Peecee Rubins who objects to it in practice)to go to the co-op and bring their pet frustration withthem. Who was that frustration I saw you with lastnight ?Incidentally, if the Four Way is supposed to showthe real chumminess of the Large Four clubs, thensomething is wrong, because they’re all having separatecocktail parties before, proving that they’re afraid tobe chummy for too long a time at once.Rogue in Vogue. . . We have just come back from the Cap and Gownoffice, where we have been looking through pictures.They have no less than seventeen pictures of Robert O.Evans, publisher, and Mary B. Hammel, editor, float¬ing around the office. However, Evans insists, they arenot all going to run. The senior pictures vaguely re¬semble a rogue’s gallery, as always, with a few ex¬ceptions, like William Hknkla, who looks like GaryCooper, and Doc Jampolis, v/ho looks like Doc Jampolis.Blanche Graver doesn’t look like anything human we’veever seen, but, then, neither do we. What’s that yousaid ?Snap-it HackettSome of the candid pictures are very fetching. Theyare all of Dekes, because someone named John Thomp¬son took them all, except the ones that Genevieve Hack¬ett took. Gennie is a very pretty girl, and we know she’sa good photographer even if she did stand about threefeet away from us, saying “I think I’m supposed to beten feet away from you when I take a picture. Is thisten feet?” There is an interesting shot of Chuck Percyand his girl Paulette of the movies, a picture of JeanRoff, in fact nineteen pictures of Jean Roff, a lascivi¬ous number of a fella teaching his girl to shoota rifle, a picture of Jimmy Cate being sagacious,and many pictures of many people shooting many guns.There are pictures of the Reynolds Club in action.'There are pictures of the Psi U house in action. Infact. Cap and Gown will be full of pictures.ChloeChloe, Chloe, Chloe, Chloe, Chloe—This is to pleaseChloe Roth’s mother, who likes to see her name in theBazaar.

Itoo could tell Chloe Roth’s story about three girls inStineway’s, but it’s not in good taste. Ask Chloe aboutit.for retarded children. It is a school which issupported by taxpayers of all races and creedsbecause it is supposed to train naval officers todefend our democratic way of life.If the attitude of Annapolis graduates isanything like that of the admiral who runs theschool, then we need not feel secure when wehave built a navy second to none. 40,000 tonbattleships and long range guns may well beworse than useless if they are commanded bymen who do not know what democracy is allabout.We have not yet investigated charges whichhave been made frequently that the army andnavy discriminate against Negroes; if thesecharges are true then the army and navy needa thorough and immediate house cleaning. It isnot a happy thought that those who seem to begetting an education in intolerance may soon bein the forefront fighting for democracy—a doc¬trine that rests fundamentally on a belief in theequal dignity of all men.

Lao Tze al¬so advocated a liberal governmentcontaining liberty and freedom.“Sun Disk” As Aid to PrayerAnother lecture of the day wasgiven by Dr. Helen B. Chapin, of MillsCollege, on the subject of the man-dala. The mandala are circular,square, and rectangular objects re¬garded by the Chinese and Japaneseas important aids to prayer. One ofthe many meanings of the word man¬dala is “sun disk”, symbolizing a con¬centration of power. The mandala areto help the disciple of Buddha concen¬trate on his prayers, and are made ofwood, sand, stone, earth, butter orsilk.Dr. Arthur Hummel, president ofthe American Oriental Society andcurator of the Library of Congress, made one of the most interesting ad¬dresses of the entire conference.

Page Three'Gilkey Back FromIsland Speaking TourComing back from a Hawaiian par¬adise of warm weather and Islandhospitality, Dean Charles Gilkey as¬sures us that his trip to the Islandswas far from a pleasure jaunt. Duringhis nine days there he made 20speeches, and on the western main¬land he added 20 more to his sched¬ule. Taking part all the way in dis¬cussions similar to our Holy Weekconference, he has had a chance toobserve student attitudes and inter¬ests in a broad section of the West.According to the Dean, an en¬thusiastic leader of serious discus¬sions on religion and moral princi¬ples, there is a “quite widespread” in¬terest in this sort of discussion amonghigh school and college students. Hecited examples of three-hour discus¬sions that had to be stopped by theleader at the several institutions hevisited. He also had warm receptionsat high schools in Hawaii.His opinion is that the obvious rea¬son for the growing interest amongstudents toward discussions of the\TENNIS RACKETSfo »17 »>Rackch of all loading manufacturars.Balls, Praisat, and all accastoriat.Sho^, Soi, Shirft, Shoos, ate.COMPLETC RESTRINGING SERVICEWOODWORTH'S1311 E. 57Hi St. Opan Evanl^Near Kimbark Ava.

Unlike previousgenerations of students, they are lesscontent merely to argue. As a mem¬ber of one of his discussion groupsat Montana aptly puts it, “I am notinterested in arguing about religion;I am interested in discussing it.”Differ in TemperamentDifferences in locale and racialbackground resulted in great differ¬ences of temperament and basic prob¬lems between the Americans of Ha¬waii and the Americans of the con¬tinent. Preparing to talk in terms ofUniversity of Chicago ideas and dif¬ficulties, Dean Gilkey found that hehad to alter the entire tone of hisdiscussions because in some of hisaudiences of from 60 to 76 students hefound that sometimes there were atmost five white students. The ma¬jority of them were of Japanese, Chi¬nese, Korean, or Philippine origin, butall American citizens. Naturally, thereis less racial prejudice there thanwith us.Education a ProblemWhere he might have discussed theproblem of employment, the Deanfound that the greatest problem inthat respect among many Hawaiianyouth is that of continuing in schoolor taking one of the many defensejobs at a dollar per hour. Those whohave smaller-paying jobs already findit hard to decide between a steady jobor a defense job paying higher wages.A striking illustration of the dif¬ference in the life of the average Ha¬waiian as compared with that of theaverage American student is thescene of one of his high school dis¬cussions. Since the auditorium was toosmall to seat the 2100 listeners, theystood outside, in the shadow of thebuilding. Many of the girls, orientalsof the second and third generations,had come to school on Thursdaymorning with orchids in their hair.One of the facts that Dean Gilkeynoticed was that there is a larger stu¬dent attendance and wider facultyparticipation in meetings at the uni¬versities he visited than at the Uni¬versity of Chicago.Interchurch NamesElection NomineesNorma Evans and Robert Wrighthave been named candidates for thepresidency of the incoming Inter¬church Student Council. Balloting isbeing done by mail and all votes mustbe in the Chapel Office before Satur¬day.For the office of secretary, GeorgeDenemark and Barbara Heiberg arecandidates. Frank Hepburn and OttoTrippel are nominees for treasurer.Results of the election will be an¬nounced next week.Peace Strike—(Continued from page one)Committee. Those organizations send¬ing unofficial delegates to the PeaceCommittee meetings include: thePhysiology Club, the Child Develop¬ment Club, the Ellis Co-op, the Uni¬versity Housing Co-op, and theFriends of Reconciliation. WhileChapel Union took no action as an or¬ganization, members of the unionwere present.Speakers to take part in the PeaceStrike will be announced in the nearfuture. Four groups will probably berepresented, namely peace advocatesin the fields of religion, academic, la¬bor, and minority policies.University WeekMakes Good ProfitA profit of $67,760 was cleared bythe University on their recent openhouse for the Citizens Board of Spon¬sors.This .sum was collected during thepast week and as the party cost prac¬tically nothing almost all of it can beput on the black side of the ledger.The four divisions contributed theirtime and effort toward preparing thevarious talks and demonstrations andthe University paid for only one ofthe luncheons.

There is real hun¬ger,” he continued, “and while theyare not actually starving, the poorStudents PlanNew MagazineOn Campus“To focus the work of scholars andorganizations on post war reconstruc¬tion,” plans are under way to edit“1941” a new magazine on campus.Heath Jones, undergraduate in socialsciences who will probably edit themagazine, recently made a trip eastandl contacted a number of well knownscholars and writers who agreed towrite articles for the first issue whichis expected to make its appearancesome time next October.Among those who are expected tocontribute are Fred L. Schuman, pro¬fessor of Political Science at WilliamsCollege who will write on “An Inter¬national Police Force”; Enrique deLozada of Williams College; PhillipsBradley, professor of Public Admini¬stration at Queen’s College; GeorgeSoule, an editor of the New Republic;and Ernest Kris of the New Schoolfor Social Research and formerly incharge of British propaganda broad¬casts to Germany.Bruce Hopper ContributesOthers are Bruce Hopper, profes¬sor of International law at HarvardUniversity; Clyde Eagleton of NewYork University; Ruth Benedict, pro¬fessor of Anthropology at Columbia;Hans Staudinger of the New Schoolfor Social Research; Max Ascoli, headof the graduate faculty at the NewSchool and formerly an Italian pro¬fessor who opposed Mussolini; andHorace Callen also of the New School.Student Committee SellsSubscriptionsThe student committee which is incharge of selling advance subscrip¬tions for the magazine which they in¬tend to have nation-wide circulation in¬cludes Miss Jones, Mary Paul Welling,George Denimark, Dick Massell, BillRasche, Sara Richman, Joe Levinger,Bud Hanks, and Paul McPherson,Ethel Alpenfels, and Frank Grover.The advisers to the committee areDavid Daiches, Natan Leites, LelandDeVinney, and Joe Schwab. Theyhave been officially recognized as acampus organization. do not get enough to maintain them¬selves in health.”Dr. Steere then went on to paint agruesome picture of conditions inFinland. “As usual with countries re¬covering from war, Finland is in ter¬rible condition. Imports are practicallycut off because of the high restric¬tions on exports in countries overthere. Consequently the Finns areforced to rely mostly on themselves,and the poor harvest last summer hasresulted in an acute food shortage.”'The country’s food rations, as givenby Dr. Steere, reflect this. Two centsworth of meat per day, a monthly halfpound of fat, and a small amount ofbread, make up the individual’s fare.“And the cattle are being fed on cel¬lulose for lack of fodder,” he added.Comparatively Rapid Reconstructiemin ProgressNevertheless, reconstruction hasgone on at a rapid pace, Dr. Steeresaid. Helsinki is practically rebuilt,and rehabilitation work for 460,000Karelians left homeless by the cedingof territory after the war is alsoprogressing rapidly. “There is a greatneed for any kind of American helpfor this brave little people,” Dr.Steere concluded. He mentioned thefact that the American Friends com¬mittee at 20 South 'Twelfth street,Philadelphia, is now collecting fundsfor supplying Finnish children withvitamins.Of the other countries he visited—Sweden, Germany, and Switzerland—Dr. Steere said little, execept thatSweden is apparently the best off.Ingenious Innovations are EmployedAsked if he had noticed any espe¬cial ingenious makeshifts growing outof wartime shortages. Dr. Steere men¬tioned several. Spain, being withoutadequate copper, uses postage stampsfor change. The lack of gasoline hasgiven rise to other makeshifts. Allover Europe old-time hacks and car¬riages have been “resurrected fromthe museums almost, —at any rate,pulled out of storage, dusted off, andput to work.” Choicest ingenuity,however, comes from Scandanavia.Here charcoal engines, installed inauto trucks or attached behind ontrailers, make efficient substitutes forthe gasoline engine. Their only flawseems to be a difficulty in surmount¬ing hills. Priced at about $600, theyare widely used and well-named. Thename: after-thoughts.Appeal for AidShortly before your reporter tookhis leave. Dr. Steere expressed a finalplea for United States help. “It isAmerica’s duty and opportunity tokeep alive the springs of generosityin the European world by making areal gesture to these countries at thistime. I feel that food help won’t winthe war, but will win affection forAmerica and keep alive the faith thatthere are still those left who careenough to help cmt...”SPECIAL SALEFRENCH & GERMANWe have just purchased private Library—Fiction—Biography—general subjects in FRENCH andGERMAN-WONDERFUL BARGAINS while thisstock lasts!The Best Books Are Always in Stock ofUIOODUIORTH’SBOOK1311 E. 57th St. STOREStore Open EveningsMaroon Nine Drops 17 to 10Slugfest To Notre Dame Team5 Pitchers foi7 to Halt 16-HitAssault of Irish in Final Prac¬tice Tilt.Jumping on five Chicago pitchersfor 16 hits, Notre Dame defeated theMaroons yesterday on GreenwoodField, 17 to 10, in the last pre-seasongame for the teamKen Garverick, winner of the onlyBig Ten game which the Maroons tooklast year, started on the mound butlasted only for one inning.

Such outstand¬ing men as Knute Rockne, WalterCamp, Christy Mathewson, John Mc-Graw, and George Gipp must surelybe represented there. And Mondaynight another, not quite so illustriousnationally, perhaps, but one who def¬initely belongs in that select group,left this world for the other when D.L. Hoffer passed away.One of the most outstanding gym-nasties coaches in the country, D. Lwas more than a mere coach. Hestrove for more than mere victoriesin competition. Athletics were to hima means, rather than an end. Theywere a means to controlling one’sself, a means of victory over one’sself and nature.Develi^ed CharacterIn developing championship teamsas Hoffer did regularly between 1911and 1939 he turned out more thanexcellent gymnasts. H e developedmen who got in a winning habit andcarried that habit with them into lifeafter graduation. Withal, these menknew how to win graciously and mag¬nanimously. Their personalities de¬veloped along with their bodies.Much of Hoffer’s success must beattributed to his being a friend of hissquad and of letting them use theirown initiative and judgment in plan¬ning their program. By so doing hebuilt up their self-confidence, madethem more self-reliant, more ready tostand on their own feet.Perhaps he will watch “his” boysin meets next year from his vantagepoint with a smile on his face and fullof pride. For if ever a man had alifetime to be proud of, Daniel L.Hoffer certajnly possessed it.
