Chorus “Girls” Star in “Dust It Off,”50th Anniversary BlackfriarExtravaganzaBy MARK FISHER“Dust It Off” might much better have been titled “Polish ItUp” last night, but even a more than usually ragged dress rehear¬sal was not enough to hide the virtues of what should be a good ifnot great Blackfriars show.Undisputed stars of the show were the tripping members ofthe chorus who went through Dorothy King’s excellent routinesin as nearly a professional manner as nature permitted. Led byprima ballerina Sol Kamensky they executed a satirical classic^ballet at the end of the second act that marked the highest pointof the show’ll comedy.Armstrong and Warfield AdequateEd Armstrong and Punk Warfield adequately filled their postsas the stars and chief love interest of the production but theyWilson Meets FateReady for Mustache Prize and Botany PondSFAC Plans ImmenseWeekend For DriveEnd Mustache RaceIn Botany PondAt Noon TodayBig publicity buildup for “Dust ItOff” terminates Friday noon whensundry bristly Seniors convene in thecircle for judging.

For that is when theSFAC will climax its drive for stu¬dent funds by sponsoring “Our Town,”“The Show of Shows” and the last bigdance of the year.Considered an American classic,“Our Town” will be presented by theUniversity Players with ProfessorDavis Edwards in the lead. He willbe backed up on Mandel Hall stage bymany popular campus actors.Big event of the weekend, however,will come on Saturday night when theSFAC will present its own produc¬tion, “The Show of Shows” in MandelHall.

Their comedywas often weak and Warfield showeda marked tendency to rely on his hipsrather than the Himmel-Martin linesfor laughs. Our choice for top actinghonors goes to Bob Miller, a Mirror,DA veteran, who stepped into the roleof President Ebblebort only last 'Tues¬day and turned it into top rate com¬edy.Only member of the cast to achievethe coveted honor of having the audi¬ence forget that he was not just an¬other of the boys sans trousers andtie was Frank Etherton. Sophie, thecampus g^rass widow, was all woman.Also fighting for the role of top com¬edian is John Crosby who is endowedwith a pat imitation of Nels Fuqua’stones, a two level voice and some ofthe best lines available. Among themyriads of minor roles, the portrayalsof Marshal Blumenthal, Milt Weiss,and Bob Highman were especially no¬table.(Continued on page seven)|Tut LikedBoomeransSays SeeleKing Tut was a boomerang enthusi¬ast. Not only that, he was a doublepersonality. He couldn’t decide be¬tween the return and the non-retumtypes of boomerangs. These factswere disclosed by Keith Seele as hespoke yesterday in the Oriental In¬stitute on the subject “The Pharoahas a Sportsman.”Dr. Seele then divulged this bitof royal gossip. “Snefru, a Pharoah,did not know how to pass an after¬noon. He called a court official andasked his advice. The official said, ’Godown to the lake and take a boat. Alsotake the most beautiful girls of thepalace.’ So Snefru took twenty of hisfairest maidens. He had them dressedin garments of beaded network. Theyall spent the day in the boat together.The records do not tell whether Sne¬fru took an active part in rowing.”Double-pronged FishingFishing was an important Egyptiansport, and the fishermen of the dayalways used double pronged spears.Was it fisherman’s luck, or can theking do no wrong? The Pharoah isshown holding a spear with a fishon each prong. Furthermore, KingTutenkhamon is always shown killinganimals, not merely looking for .them.Pharoahs, it seems were talentedfellows. Thutmose III slew 12 wildbulls one day just to work up an ap¬petite for breakfast. One pharoah out-rowed 200 oarsmen at once.Dr. Seele doesn’t say whether theancient man-in-the-street thought thatwas a lot of bulls or not.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, FRIDAY, APRIL 25, IMIAddzess.DgUUi TWo/ioon.FOUNDED IN IM*Th« Daily Mavoon is the official atudent newapaper of tiie Unifvraity of Chiaaeo. publiahed morainKa except Saturday.

RachlinNight Editor: Richard PhilbrickAssistant: Ernest LeiserUniversity of ChicagoBefore the day is over you will see Black-friars. A sympathetic guide will probably haveshown you some examples of our Gothic archi¬tecture.But the University of Chicago is more thana collection of buildings and riotous dramaticproductions. It has a spirit that you cannot getnext to in one afternoon. You can know a uni¬versity only when you know its people—its stu¬dents and its faculty members.No Individual Represents ChicagoIt is hopeless to try to point out any in¬dividual who represents the University of Chi¬cago. If anyone ever tried to be an ideal Chicagostudent, we would probably throw him in theBotany pond. We are proud of our diversity.We are proud that we have a few long hairedgrinds, some short haired joy boys, and somebald headed graduate students.The University of Chicago has always rec¬ognized that because people are not all thesame, they should have an opportunity to fol¬low their own interests without being forcedinto any one pattern. Beyond the requirementsof a broad general education, students in theUniversity are left to plan their own programsfor recreation and study.Education Not Spoon-fed on MidwayThe Chicago plan is based on the propositionthat reasonably good students do not have tohave an education fed to them with a spoon—thatif you have a good education available you will takeadvantage of it without having to be told everyweekend whether or not you have studied yourlessons.We have over 160 student activities—notbecause we are a particularly large universitybut because we have all kinds of people here andhave a wide variety of activities to suit a largenumber of interests. We have activities thatappeal to both joy boys and grinds. At the Univer¬sity you can be a glamorous girl in Blackfriars.You can argue about ‘‘being and non-being" inthe Philosophy Club. You can debate about warand peace in Political Union. You can play tennisin the Field House. You can loaf in the CoffeeShop. You can take five or six courses and nothave any activities. It will all depend upon you.Few Blind to Chicago*s AdvantagesSo long as you do not tread too heavily onthe toes of other people your life at the Univer¬sity can be what you make it. You can wastefour years or you can get an education thatwill be a worthwhile contribution to your per¬sonality. The records of most of our graduatesseem to indicate that few University studentshave been so blind that they wasted four yearsin a school with probably the finest faculty inAmerica.Any good student who has sufficient self-reliance to make intelligent decisions will get amuch better education from the University ofChicago than from some institution where hiseducation may be cramped within a pre-ar¬ranged blueprint. The Traveling BazaarBy DICK HIMMELJohn Crosby '*Spetdc softly and wield a bigstick,”-^Theodore Roosevelt.... is probably the pet member of the Blackfriars’ castas far as the other members are concerned. Crosby inhis authentically delightful portrayal of Nels Fuquanever fails to win laughter and applause from his col¬leagues, no matter how many times they have seen himdo the same bit . . . One of his best audiences is Fuquahimself who sits in the Mandel seats and chucklesthrough the whole thing.Jinx. . . there are those that think that the cast is jinxed.First leading lady “Punk” Warfield got the measles, jThen Jim Stolp, one of the leads, walked out four days jbefore the opening and he had to be replaced. Then a tfifty pound spot-light fell on Dick SaJzmann’s head.Salz, who plays Hutchins and is Abbott of Blackfriars,'now has a perpetual headache but keeps muttering,’“The show must go on.” And to climax it all, KennyAxelson who plays a sexy University woman, who slith-1ers across the stage about a dozen times, sprained his ^ankle and now limps, not so seductively, across the stage Iand spoils the whole effect. jISalzmanithe got a hit on the head.The chorus. . . has amazed the whole company by really workingand demanding extra rehearsals . . . Best legs Ratzer,Guy Centner, and Paul Florian are the leading panther“Girls” in the chorus. Centner actually is a terrific danc¬er and does a neat job in the front lines. Hulky Florianknows all the routines, but manages to keep kind of anapathetic look on his face through it all. Florian’s bestbit is the strip tease number.Dorothy King. is the person responsible for the best Blackfriarschorus in years. A tiny djmamic blonde, Miss Kingcame from vaudeville to drill "her boys” into the rou¬tines. She created her own routines, worked the boysharder than they’ve worked in years, and they love her.When the boys don’t do their routines right, Misa Kingdoesn’t yell and tear her hair. She simply gets in frontof the front line on her knees and prays . . . She worksuntil all hours of the morning. Holds up sets when theyfall. Laughs at the show when the occasion arises . . .So in the short span of two months. Miss King has be¬come master, inspiration, and mother confessor to the“elephant” chorus.Bob Miller. . . stepped into Blackfriars two nights before dress re¬hearsal in the Stolp-abdicated lead of president EldrigdeEddlebort. Miller practically had his lines cold by Wed¬nesday night and was letter perfect in time for dressrehearsal. Rollicking, rotund Miller found the job oflanding on the stage via a parachute from the grid diffi¬cult. His 209 pounds don’t lend themselves too well tothe gentle art of floating through the air.The Man in the Pit. . . beaming at the boys will be Ben E. Young who cuthis teeth on a piano at the Star and Garter, oldtimeChicago burlesque house. Benny has been leading theorchestra in Mandel Hall pit for many years now. Heplays the piano, leads the orchestra with his head, andstill manages to smile encouragingly at chorines andcast, and the best part of it all is, he hasn’t got twoheads.Frank Reed. . . is the gentleman in charge of the clippers that cliptell-tale hairs on brawny chests and arms and turnsthem in to slick-looking chorus girl proportions ... Anew problem arose this year for the strip tease number.This necessitated not only a shaving of arms, legs, andchest, but the stomach, too. This is a real strip tease.

It’s really a terrific place.People always say there’s no sociallife. Well, they’re all wrong. Thereare teas and outings galore and themost wonderful people you ever wantto meet just swarm the place..This is a quotation from this year’sBlackfriars’ show. The leading lady,Claire, is saying it to a new student.It sums up well the real social lifesituation on campus. The Universityof Chicago is like any other college.There are a series of big dances, fra¬ternity parties, week-end-outings, in¬formal shindigs, and anything elseyou think of.“Washington Prom”The most important dance of theyear is the lush “Washington Prom’’held on the eve of Washington’s birth¬day. Open to the entire campus, theStudent Social Committee runs it andhires a top flight band and a swankyroom in a downtown hotel.Picked to lead this Ball are foursenior campus leaders. This year itwas led by Student Social Committeehead Dale Tillery, Maroon chairman,John Stevens, Henrietta Mahon andDoris Daniels.Next in importance to the WashProm, is the Inter-Fratemity Ballheld in the fall. Open to all fraternitymembers and outstanding indepen¬dents who are invited, the IF Ballalmost rivals the Wash Prom in ele¬gance. Again a top flight band. Againthe ^amour of one of the popular Chi¬cago “spots.” I Woman DrillsBlackfriars’BeardedBabieiFor the first time in a number ofyears Blackfriars engaged a profes¬sional woman entertainer to drill itschorus.“Teacher” is red - headed DorothyKing, a diminutive whirlwind who hasbeen dancing professionally from theage of eight. Miss King’s father, thelate John O’Brien, was at one timeTheodore Roosevelt’s jiu-jitsu instruc¬tor in the White House. On one of hiswestern trips, he saw dance numbersat White City and liked them verymuch. When he returned to Boston, hetaught one of the dance routines tohis daughters, aged four and five.They learned quickly and soon per¬formed regularly at family gather¬ings.Later the sisters took up balletdancing, were seen by an agent, andsigned up for a tour with a vaudevilletroupe. At this time Miss King waseight years old.She liked life on the road so wellthat she has worked at vaudevilleever since. All her schooling she gotfrom experience and older entertain¬ers. Now located in Chicago, she hasproduced several Service Club showsunder Will Harris. Friars totsies givethe downtown treatre abreak by visiting thecast of “Life WithFather,” currentlybreaking all records atthe Blackstone. Passingup the fair Lilian Gish,the chorines dashed upto the formidable Fath¬er Day, interruptedhim in the middle of an“Oh, dammmm!” andcoaxed him into posingwith them in the chum¬my picture you seehere.The Friars expectfondly to pack housesas completely as “LifeWith Father” even iftheir show won’t run aslong. From the pleasedexpression on the faceof Father Day, it wouldscKm apparent thatthey can succeed easily.S.S.C. Sponsors DancesAll three quarters of the schoolyear, the Student Social Committee,now headed by Dink McClellan, spon¬sor Friday night dances every otherweek or so. They each have a fea¬tured motif, such as a Christmas Car¬nival, sweater and skirt dance andsaddle shoe shuffle.

FRIDAY, APRIL 25. 1941Chicago FacultyRates Among Best“A University,” said presidentHutchins, “is a community of schol¬ars.” Since the day when it was found¬ed the University of Chicago has em¬phasized the importance of its inch¬ing staff as a factor which will eithermake or break a university.The University has tried to attractto this campus not only some of theworld's greatest scholars but it hasalso made a special effort to get dif¬ferent points of view represented oncampus. On its faculty are found awide diversity of schools of thoughtranging from Mortimer Adler, theneo-Thomist speculative philosopher,to Anton J. Carlson, the high priestof the hard-headed scientists.**yat iss Effidence?”Carlson, who as a boy was a poorSwedish goat herder, has recentlyflashed on the cover of Time maga-tine. He is not merely known as ascientist whose research work hascovered an unusually broad field rang¬ing from studies of glands to experi¬ments on the effects of 3.2 beer incausing drunkenness. As a greatteacher he has been an inspiration touncounted numbers of students whoin turn have made important contribu¬tions to biology. His famous phrase‘•What is the effidence” summarizeshis attitude toward knowledge as be¬ing essentially the result of experi¬ence. Carlson is the father of an un¬limited number of anecdotes abouthimself.Adler Raises FussAdler on very much the oppositeside of the fence has fathered a lionsshare of the academic controversieson campus in Recent years.

Besides be¬ing able to arouse an unbelievableamount of enthusiasm in his studentsabout the development of the tadpole,Joe has interests as unbounded as thesky. He is attracted by philosophy,problems of the modem world, lan¬guages, and photography.As his students tremble for fear ofthe building caving in, David Grene,the Irish instructor in Greek will leanagainst a pillar in Mandel as he lec¬tures on Shakespeare or Plato.One of the best extemporaneousspeakers on campus is Louis Wirth,professor of Sociology.

Mingledfeelings of amusement, amazement,and admiration played on her coun¬tenance as she eyed the struttingchoms. All the hairy, muscular, silo¬like, slightly bowed, and mbberylimbs were dismissed after carefulconsideration.From the 1941 crop Miss King fi¬nally chose two whose legs are un¬doubtedly among the finest of recentyears, blond Duval Jaros and litheEarl Ratzer. Jaros, Psi U Freshman,has smooth curves that would or¬dinarily place him far in the lead, butCross Country mner Ratzer's gor¬geous gams, while not so smooth, arejust as finely molded. To quote MissKing: “It’s a toss up.” University's ^Joe College^AngleEmphasized By TraditionsYou’ll never hear Chicago menmarching off to class sing “Alma Ma¬ter.” Neither will you see Fordfulsof crew cuts careening around campuscheering, “Chicago, Chicago.” Peprallies went out with football; the oldrah-rah-rah-do-or-die-for-dear-old-Chispirit was never here.Stay off SealBut at traditionally traditionlessChicago, some traditions have ap¬peared and carry on with the respectand full approval of undergraduateand alumnus alike. Chief among these,and most often violated during Fresh¬man Week is the Tradition of the Seal,which demands that no one step on theUniversity seal on the fioor beneathMitchell Tower in Mandel Hall. Use¬ful for detecting Freshmen for a fewearly weeks, this violation neverthe¬less brings furious stares from upper¬classmen.That tradition which comes closestto the “Old Ox Road” school of col¬lege philosophy, and one which wouldwarm the heart of any movie pro¬ducer is that which reserves the C-Bench for Seniors, lettermen, andwomen who’ve been kissed by letter-men. Contrary to popular belief, thisdoes not include everyone on campus.No “Co-Eds”University women are traditionallynever “co-eds,” fraternity houses nev¬er “frats,” and only Arch Ward andignorant parents can get away withiChicago University.” It’s the Uni¬versity of Chicago, and don’t let any¬one tell you otherwise. The Fall Quarter's Freshman-Soph¬omore tug of war is probably themost Joe College institution on cam¬pus, and one whose importance varieswith the enthusiasm of the Freshmanclass. Every year, however, a certainquota of the first-year men returnfrom battle laughing fondly at theirmud-caked bodies and completely sat¬isfied with Chicago’s spirit.YOU ARE INVITEDTO MEET YOUR FRIENDSAT THE UNIVERSITY BOOKSTORESouvenirs and Gifts for AH OccasionsTextbooks for AH Your CoursesWide Variety of General BooksComplete Line of Stationery SuppliesPost Office - Rental LibraryCameras and Athletic EquipmentSoft Drinks and SandwichesU. of C.

Saturday, April 26,is the date of the annual ScholarshipBridge Luncheon, given by the Alum¬nae Chapter; this is one of the mostimportant traditions of the club, andthe proceeds from the party go to-I ward the scholarship fund for the ac¬tive members, established in 1925.Each year awards are made to themember of the active chapter with thebest scholastic average and the mem¬ber who is most prominent in activ¬ities on the quadrangles.Theatre PartyIn addition, plans are being madefor a theatre party, a Mother’s Daytea, the dinner given each year forthe alumnae, and the ever-popularspring formal dinner dance.Spring functions are always a hap¬py climax to the fall and winter get-togethers, of all kinds, including theChristmas party, cozies, which themembers like to label as “gather andgabs”, and bunco and coke sessions.Then too the club is always on handto take part in the numerous inter¬club activities, including winter quar¬ter’s Inter-Club Ball and spring’s In¬ter-Club Sing.Lasting FriendshipHowever, most important of all tothe membci’S, is the fact that the firstand principal aim of the club since itsfounding in 1915, is to promote,through its social life, not only pleas¬ant fellowship, but genuine, lastingfriendship among its members. And!this friendship will exist through the;years, since it is the club’s proudboast that it has one of the strongestalumnae c!iapters of any club at theuniversity.(ADVERTISEMENT^ T riofraTriota was formed as a social clubin November 1937 by a group of eightJewish girls. But it did not become apart of Inter-Club Council until Sep¬tember 1939.Since the aims of the club are pri¬marily social, Triota has a very ex¬tensive social program. During Au¬tumn Quarter, the main concern of thegirls is Rushing. However, the Birth¬day Dinner Dance is the big event ofthe quarter.Inter-club Ball is the formal affairof Winter Quarter. And in addition tothis, a novelty party is given. SpringQuarter is the most active for themembers of the club. The girls alwaysgive a luncheon for their mothers onMothers’ Day. A fund raising affair isalso given, this is the Annual RefugeeBenefit Affair, which has always beenvery successful. In addition to thesetwo affairs, the girls also have an in¬formal novelty party and a Summerformal at the end of the quarter.During the academic year, meetingstake place once a week and the girlsmeet for lunch at Ida Noyes Hall.There are no official meetings duringquarterly recesses, but the girls us¬ually meet informally.The fees have been made compara¬tively low so that no girl is kept fromthe club for financial reasons. Thepledge fee is one dollar, the initiationfee is $6, and quarterly dues is $3.One of the duties of every pledgeis to take part in some other campusactivity.The officers of the club are Pres.Sophia Sorkin; Vice-pres., Rita Liber-mon, Treas.

Phi DeltaUpsilon was founded as a club forUniversity women who wanted goodtimes with sincere friends. What thefounders anticipated is embodied inthe activities of the twenty-five ac¬tives and one pledge headed by MargieDunne, who is also vice-president ofthe Calvert Gub.This year the Phi Deltas celebratedI their successful fall rushing at a for¬mal dinner dance in the exclusivePump Room. Winter quarter whichincluded club luncheons, buffet sup¬pers, and cozies celebrating the pin-nings of two girls and basketball vic¬tories over Mortar Board, Sigma andWyvem, as well as a bridge partywhich raised the fifty dollars the clubhad pledged to the University's Fif¬tieth Anniversary Fund, was climaxedwith a helluva Hell Week (from thepledges point of view) that ended ina memorable formal initiation.Present CupAn initiate, Janice Rachel, theonly freshman nominated for a YWCAoffice who is a member of the SeniorCabinet, Chapel Outlook staff. Inter-church Council and who has workedhard at the Settlement and in RefugeeAid work, was presented with the PhiDelta Upsilon cup for pledge activi¬ties.This quarter the club is looking for¬ward to the Interclub Sing, a teadance at the Edgewater Beach Hoteland a gala weekend House-party aftercomps.Other Activities iBesides all of these club functions.Phi Deltas take part in the activitiesof Mirror, Federation, Student Forum,Volunteer Hospital work.

Tickets are available atIda Noyes. Campus Offers LargeVariety Of SpecialInterest GroupsThe last time the Dean’s office gotaround to counting the number of stu¬dent organizations on campus theynumbered about 160 and ran all theway from “Glamour groups” like theStudent Social Committee to scholarlyactivities like the Undergraduate MathGub.Students with a theatrical bent willprobably find themselves climbing thelong steps up Mitchell Tower to takepart in one of the monthly DramaticAssociation Workshop plays or if theyare as good as they think they arethey might even land a spot in one ofthe DA’s prize productions, a winterand fall play in Mandel Hall. Or theymight be down in the Chapel basementtrying for a part in one of the newlyorganized Chapel Union Players’shows.Chicago in PrintHigh school editors as well as allthose with a secret longing to be onthe “inside” of campus doings, hadbetter familiarize themselves with thebrick hut on University Avenue laugh¬ingly known as Lexin^n Hall. Therethey will find the offices of all thestudent news organs. On the left asyou enter is the private domain ofRobert 0. Evans, currently engagedin a gigantic struggle to get the an¬nual, Cap and Gown, out on time de¬spite the beauty contests and promo¬tional stunts staged by his staff. Di-Mandel—(Continued from page one)Songs Not up to ParThe songs were unfortunately notup to the general standards of eitherthe chorus numbers or the cast. Thelyrics tended to be overly slow anddrawn out. Best of the lot was BobFitzgerald’s “Life Ain’t Like the Mov¬ies” and Etherton’s third scene num¬ber, “I Want To Be A Lady.”Amidst the helter skelter of thedress rehearsal, it was almost im¬possible to tell just how good or howbad the direction will appear whenthe show meets its first audience to¬night. But one fiaw, and a rather vitalone, was the tendency to grasp apoint in the show, and often they werevery good points, and overplay themuntil their edge was worn dull. Thisa very good chorus routine, when re¬peated, became a little boring and apoor song, when given the same treat¬ment, seriously interrupted the ac¬tion.Usually EntertainingRife with double - entendre andsprinkled with some cracks that can¬not even be taken two ways, the Him-mel-Martin book is usually entertain¬ing. It is, however, pocked with somebad spots such as the beginning of thesecond act when it degenerates intoa cross between a poor bit of Mir¬ror and a better than average VictoryVanities Skit.Sets and costumes show some ima¬gination and a small budget. Prettiestand cleverest are the costumes wornby the opening chorus and the set rep¬resenting a glistening airplane thatis to take President Ebblebort insearch of funds.That’s 1941 Blackfriar’s as we sawit. It won’t go down in history butnot many patrons will be able to laughat the antics of Miller or view thechorus’ dancing and go away feelingthat he has not had a good evening’sentertainment. rectly opposite the aforementioned of¬fice is the birth place of the paper yonare now reading, the campus news¬paper, called by its friends the DailyMaroon.Student Forum, BakeryAlso located in Lexington are theCampus bakery which has nothing todo with student activities and theheadquarters of the Student Fonua,the University’s debating group. Un¬like an orthodox debating team theForum not only sends its teams toother schools for forensic strugglesbut also sponsors round table discus¬sions and talks by eminent facultymembers. Another discussion group.Political Union, is organized on theEnglish parliamentary system andspends most of its time on nationalissues.A freshman with enough patience tospend a year or so as a ticket sales¬man may someday find himself headof the Student Social Committee andthe idol of the Coffee Shop. The S.S.C.sponsors informal dances throughoutthe year, a home-coming carnival, andmost important of all, the annualWashington Prom. Also ranking highin glamour appear is the Student Pub¬licity Board whose efforts are benttoward getting high school seniors likeyourselves to come to the University.From Reels to ReligionPerhaps the largest activity of allis Chapel Union which directs every¬thing from bam dances to religpousdiscussions from its office beneathRockefeller Memorial Chapel. TheStudent Settlement Board is an ac¬tivity with a conscience. Its membersstage several drives throughout theyear to secure clothes and money forthe settlement house which the Uni¬versity operates in the area back ofthe stock yards.A very large group of activities arebased not on social affairs or extra¬curricular interests but on scholasticsubjects. Students in almost everybranch of the University have feltthat their common interest in onestudy or another could be better fur¬thered by organization. Such groupsinvite outstanding faculty members todiscuss their work with them andoften hold small social get-togethersof their own..iilllllllllllllllllllllllilllllllllllllllllli.HaveANightlyLagerEither BYYourself orwith "Joe"1512 E. 55th St.''i|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||lilllllllHII'’1AFTER COLLEGE-WHAT?Does a Lifetime Job Appeal to You?THE grsatest good fortune that could com*to any man is to find a business connection inwhich he can build and prosper, realizingevery desire, developing every ability ... weoffer such an opportunity to men of soundcharacter and good education.

Jacbon Blvd.Telephone—Harrison 2970Chicago Plan Designed ToGive Students Broad Education Unified ArchitectureBasis Of Campus Plan.AThe Chicago plan was designed sothat students in college should be ableto get a broad general education with¬out being weighed down with a lot ofbothersome and unnecessary restric¬tions.Unlike many other schools, the Uni¬versity does not require class attend¬ance. It is supposed that students willknow what they are paying tuitionfor and will not have to be botheredwith absence excuses and other par¬aphernalia. Since attendance is op¬tional, most instructors find it advis¬able to keep their classes interestingenough so that students will want toattend.Another AdvantageOptional attendance also makes itpossible for students who are alreadywell acquainted with part of the mate¬rials in a course to spend their timemore effectively than in attending lec-1tures covering material they alreadyare familiar with.Students in the first two years ofthe University take four surveycourses—in Biological Sciences, Phys¬ical Sciences, Social Sciences, and Hu¬manities. Each of these courses nor¬mally requires one full year of workwith optional class attendance of ^fourhours a week. The survey courses* alsohave other advantages. Because thesecourses have large lecture gn’oups, itis possible for some of the outstand¬ing professors of the University tolecture to them. In large lectures it isalso possible to carry on a great manyexperimental demonstrations andshow motion pictures and sides.Discussion GroupsThe lectures are supplemented bysmaller discussion groups, conductedby members of the faculty who areparticularly well qualified for theirteaching ability. In the discussion sec¬tions difficulties arising from the lec¬tures or readings are ironed out.Survey courses also have the advan¬tage of helping those students who arein doubt what kind of a career to fol¬low. More than one student has de¬cided to specialize in a particular fieldafter having taken a survey course inwhich it was included.In addition to the four surveycourses, students in the first two yearsare required to take two sequences infields more narrow in scope than thesurvey courses: for example, mathe¬matics, chemistry, art, and Englishliterature. The sequences have the ad¬vantage of giving students an oppor¬tunity to concentrate early in fields inwhich they have special interests.They are also often necessary to fillrequirements for work in the thirdand fourth years of the University.Work in the sequences also furnishescontacts with older students who arenot usually found in survey courses.English CompositionAlso required is a course in Englishcomposition which meets three times each week over a period of three quar¬ters. (At the University of Chicagothe year is divided into four quartersinstead of two semesters and a sum¬mer school. The quarters are autumn,winter, spring, and summer.) TheEnglish composition course is intend¬ed for thoroughly practical purposes.It does not intend to teach students towrite pretty essays on “The Sunset”or “My Trip to Florida”. The courseaims to teach the techniques necessaryfor logically organizing and writingthe papers that are often required inother courses. Very often studentshave their papers do “double duty” bysubmitting them to both English com¬position and some other course.Comprehensive ExaminationsPassing seven comprehensive exam¬inations covering a year’s work ineach of these courses is the only re¬quirement for completing the first twoyears of the University. It is not nec¬essary to take comprehensives at anyspecified times. Because these examin¬ations are g^iven at the end of bothspring and summer quarters, manystudents wait until the end of thesummer to take their examinations inorder to “brush up” on the materialcovered. Although students are onlyrequired to pass comprehensive exam¬inations, plenty of opportunity is giv¬en for frequently “sizing oneself up”in these courses through quarterly ex¬aminations and short quizzes.Briefly then, the Chicago plan offersan opportunity for a student to getwhat he wants from the University.There are very few restrictionsagainst putting either a little or a lotinto one’s education.ConferenceFor CompsTo help students prepare for com¬prehensives, Alpha Phi Omega, themen’s service fraternity, is sponsor¬ing a special conference to be heldTuesday and Wednesday at 3:30 inKent 106. Right and wrong techniquesof studying for exams will be dis¬cussed.Temporarily scheduled to speak are:William S. Gray, Ralph Tyler, LelandC. DeVinney, Arthur Freedman, andRalph Buchsbaum. Freshmen andsophomores are especially invited.PUBLICITY BOARDAll members of the Student Pub¬licity Board should report prompt¬ly at 1 Saturday, April 26 in Man-del Corridor.intramural Sports For AllAn interesting aspect of the Univer¬sity, from the viewpoint of men atleast, and one often forgotten in thelight of more academic considerations,is the Intramural system. The systemranks with the best in the nation. Theslogan of the department, “Athleticsfor All,” helps to tell the story.No matter what kind of sport youmay prefer—six-man football, basket¬ball, table tennis, or billiards—it’s agood bet that you’ll find it on theschedule. The hard-working staff hasoutlined a diversified program thatleaves little to be desired.28 in I-M AdministrationThirteen Sports Managers, pluseleven Assistants, a Student Chair¬man and three Board members, helpin the task of administration. Headman is tall, friendly, efficient VarsityTennis Coach Wally Hebert, FacultyChairman. His is the task of coor¬dinating the work.Any man in residence is eligible forintramural athletics, provided hecomes up to the other standards setby the Athletic Department. Teamsports are conducted in three leagues—the Fraternity, the Dormitory, andthe Independent. A man not con¬nected with any fraternity or dormi¬ tory can register for play under theIndependent Division. Winning teamsand competitors in all sports receiveawards.Program well-roundedThis year, a well rounded programis still under way. In autumn, the bigTouchball Tournament was held, andsix-man football play was outstanding.The winter quarter sports includedBowling, Wrestling, and Indoor 'Track.The Basketball Tournament, probablythe most popular, ran its play for overtwo months, with teams from nearlyevery organization.A busy spring is in order. 'The An¬nual Soft Ball Race has just started.Fencing, Tennis, Golf, and OutdoorTrack are also getting under way.1-M System Worthy of U. of C.Hebert with his staff of Sport Man¬agers has made an Intramural Systemthat gives most of the male studentsa chance to compete in their chosensports. 'This system is one that isworthy of such a famed institution asthe University of Chicago.Freshmen interested in the Staff,will have the opportunity to join nextFall. Senior staff members receivemany athletic privileges and awardsin recognition of their services. President HutchinsGREETINGS TO H.S. SENIORS:I am delighted to welcome you tothe University. It is a good university,and if you were not the kind of stu¬dents it would like, you would not behere. I hope you enjoy your visit,and if you want an education, I hopeyou will attend the University.ROBERT MAYNARD HUTCHINSThe Maroon wondered what thetypical undergraduate woman didwith her days. So a reporter inter¬viewed a freshman woman and askedher a lot of pertinent and impertinentquestions. The woman was HelenPearce, luscious beauty queen, whichmakes the sample not quite valid as aglance at an ‘'average" Universitywoman. But, for the most part, herdays are normal.She starts it at 8 o’clock, wakingsleepily to the jangle of an alarmringing. In half an hour, she showers,dresses, eats, and begins a twentyminute walk to school, arriving some¬what breathless for a nine o’clockclass. Not quite awake, she dozesthrough a lecture on Ben Jonson’slyric style, and starts when she hearsthe bell for the end of the hour. Thethought of going to the Coffee Shoprevives her, so she briskly treks acrosscampus from Cobb Hall to MandelCorridor.After wasting an hour in bridgeor chatter with her club sisters, whileshe knits with one hand and drinks acoke with the other, her consciencebegins to bother her, and she whipsoff to her eleven o’clock Bi Sci lecture.The discussion on genetics interestsher, so she takes careful notes, andcopies down all the little diagrams un¬til the end of the hour.It’s noon now, and she flops wearilyinto a friend’s car to make the long(two block) journey over to Ida Noyes Unlike a good many college campus¬es, the University of Chicago Quad¬rangles represent an architectural aswell as academic unit. This unity hasbeen achieved by insisting that eachnew building added to the campusmust conform to the general type ofarchitecture agreed on at the Univer¬sity’s founding.It does not mean that all buildingsmust be pressed into the mold formedback in 1892, for there is a great dealof difference between Cobb Hall andJones Chemistry Lab, still every build¬ing was designed not as a separateunit but rather as a part that mustblend into the background of thewhole.Another form of unity, is the man¬ner in which those buildings housingsimilar subjects have been groupedtogether. Thus all the buildings con¬nected with the medical school are lo¬cated in the group west of InglesideAvenue and those concerning thePhysical Sciences have been placedalong the walk running between Ingle¬side and University Avenues.How Both Halves LiveThere are two groups of men’s dor¬mitories. Newest and shiniest are Bur¬ton and Judson Courts, located acrossthe Midway. These buildings offer thefreshman food, shelter, a game room,spacious lounges, and a well-integrat¬ed social program. Snell and Hitch¬cock Halls are older but offer the ad-for lunch. She wastes the half-hourleft after lunch in Ida, rambling idlythrough the magazines, and goes toher last class of the day.After the class, which is a Humani¬ties discussion under the amazing,amusing leadership of EnglishmanWilliam Clark, she conquers her de¬sire to go rowing in Jackson Parkwith thousands of other people, or totake a ride in the country to celebratethe coming of spring, and bravelytrudges up to Harper, where shestudies more genetics until 4:30.' It is Friday, and the opening nightof Blackfriars, so she goes home earlyto get cleaned up and squeezed intoher new formal. Always on the open¬ing night of Blackfriars the Pii U’shave a banquet before and an openparty after the show, and the lightof her life (whose pin she’s wearing)is a Psi U.Her man calls for her at 6:30, theygo to a sumptuous banquet whichgives them indigestion when theystart laughing at dirty Friars jokes,and thence back to the Psi U house,to dance until midnight. With twoother couples, they zip down to Han¬ley’s where they sip beer and eat lotsand lots of popcorn until genial Mike,the proprietor, decides to shoo themout. It’s now two o’clock and the eve¬ning’s almost over, so Helen and herf)in drive over to the lake to take oneast look and see if it’s still there.Wistfully, he finally takes her home,and she sinks wearily into bed, mut¬tering guiltily to herself, “Why didn’tI spend more time studying today?” vantages of a more central locationand a certain amount of freedom, inas much as residents may eat when¬ever and wherever they wish.The girls’ dormitories all lack theelan of the Court but make up for itwith a kind of homey atmosphere lack¬ing at their prototype across theMidway.“Instruction and Delight”Mandel Hall, the scene of the Black-friar Review, is also the site of muchless glamorous occurrences such asthe daily Humanities and Social Sci¬ence lectures that all students musttake during their first two years. Theother two survey courses are givenin the vaulted Kent Hall assembly andin the modern ultilitarian lectureroom in Eckhart.Probably the most frequented build¬ing in the College is Cobb Hall, theUniversity's first building, whichstands opposite the C Bench in thesouthwest portion of the Campus. Inthe large four story building arehoused many of the elective coursesopen to students in their first twoyears at the University.EvensongServicesAThe Evensong services, an ixmo-vation in campus activities this yearare in the midst of their final week.These services were bagun on the eve¬ning of election day, last No\ ember,as a kind of experiment, and have beencontinued through Winter and SpringQuarters because they were so widelyappreciated by students who wereunable to take part in other Chapelactivities, as well as by members ofthe community.The services have been held from6:30 to 6:46 Tuesday through Friday.They consist mainly in scripture, litur¬gical or poetical readings and variousother selections.They have been led by professionalleaders of student work in the Chapel,including Rev. George Aigner, RabbiEsrig, Geil Duffendack, Howard Sche¬mer, Don Baldwin, and A1 Painter.There will also be religious leaderswho have visited campus during theyear and various student leaders ofreligious groups.In speaking to the members of theInterchurch Council at their installa¬tion service last Wednesday evening,Dean Charles W. Gilkey, expressedhis great satisfaction with the Even¬song, and plans will be made to con¬duct similar services next year.Fraternities^Clubs, Add ToSocial LifeAlthough Chicago is noted for thefact that the “caste” lines betweenindependent and organized studentsare not drawn as closely as at otherUniversities, it is true that a largemajority of the social activities aremade by and for the fraternity andclub members.Listed on the membership of the In¬ter-Fraternity Council are 16 chaptersof nationally organized fraternities,16 of which have houses on or nearthe Quadrangles and one. Sigma Al¬pha Epsilon, has its headquarters inthe men’s dormitory. One innovationin Chicago fraternity life is the de¬ferred rushing plan whereby fresh¬men are given six weeks to look at thevarious fraternities before being ask¬ed to make a choice between them.University women are organized in¬to “clubs” rather than sororities. Theprime difference is that the clubs arenot national and their members do notlive together. In every other respectthey closely resemble their more com¬mon sister organizations. Like thefraternities they do not accept pledgesuntil the first quarter is well underway and they coordinate their activi¬ties with a council made up of mem¬bers from each group. ' ’How Freshman QueenSpends A College Day“Torchy” Pearce... a day on campusTHE DAILY MAROON, FRIDAY. APRIL 25. 1941 Page NineMartin and HimmelWrite Blackfriars“‘Dust It Off,’ the 37th annualBlackfriars’ show, was conceived torapture much of the exciting Univer¬sity of Chicago lore of the past, com¬bining it with a satire of the present,and still give a tinge of the future.”Thus spoke authors David Martin andRichard Himmel of their script forthe 1941 all-male revue. Martin, au¬thor of last year’s show, “PatientsPlease,” furnished the original ideabased on history, the history of Alci-bades, the Greek warrior who wasdeclared traitor as an idol smasher.The modem University Alcibadeshad to have some idols to smash, sothe idea was decided upon to havestatues of the five presidents of theUniversity, and the University “an¬gel,” John D. Rockefeller. The Alci¬bades idea was finally thrown out,but the statues remained as importantcharacters of the book. Here weresix men, the past history of the Uni¬versity brought to life from statua-tory status to run madly through theshow, sing a song, help the plot along,and give their ideas of thingsthat might happen in the future.“Dead End” BoysFirst the “dead end” Imys, as theauthors call them, appear as statues,then as full length portraits, now asangels on the wings of an airplane,and finally as ethereal substances.So the authors had the past of theUniversity all set. They had it in theform of six men impersonating six ofthe vital pillars of University history.The next problem was to weave in apanoramic satire on the present. NelsFuqua, perennial Sophomore, was alikely prospect for basing a characteron. He was so likely that it wasfinally decided to have a character inthe show named Nels Fuqua. Thesame Nels Fuqua familiar to the cam¬pus as a confidant of presidents andFreshman beauty queens, the Fuquathat turns up each year with thefreshman class.Fuqua a NaturalFuqua was a natural characterthrough which to poke fun at thepresent day University gang. So withthe past and the present lined up,the plot was set in the future, withthe seventeenth president since Hutch¬ins as the central character. His name,Eldridge Ebblebort. His aims, to raisemoney for the University’s hundredthanniversary.As the romantic leads, the authorswanted “young love with character,”so Claire, the Maroon reporter, andTim the president’s nephew turnedup. And finally there also has to be apanther woman in a Blackfriars’ showso a variation on the old campuswidow idea was decided on, and it wasslinky, seductive, Sophie, lap-sittingsecretary to the presidents.And thus “Dust It Off” sprung fromthe Martin - Himmel brow to bebrought to life on Mandel Hall stage.

For the friv¬olous and even the not-so-frivolous,reading the Bazaar is not only a pleas¬ure but a necessity.Higher Intellectual PlaneOn a higher plane intellectually, the“Bull Sessions” and polls which theMaroon presents always prove of in¬terest. The Bull Sessions always rep¬resent the personal opinions of theirauthors and for that reason are highlyindividual and often controversial.The voice of the Maroon is its edi¬torial column in which the paper takesits stand on campus and sometimes onnational and international affairs.Whatever its opinions may be. Maroonpolicy is never so rigid it cannot bechanged for good reasons, nor is thepaper afraid to take the unpopularside of an issue. Pretty WomenVieForCampusBeauty HonorsThe University of Chicago has morethan its share of pulchritude. Thisis contrary to the opinion of manyof those less familiar with the facts.While strolling about the campus, oneis likely to run into such freshmenqueens as exotic Jean Roff, LouiseHowsen, and Beth Mahan. Or perhapsin front of Cobb Hall, the glamourgirls, Helen Pearce, Ginny Ailing, orGeorgia Hinchliff will decorate thesurroundings.Most ConspicuousThose who are most conspicuous arethe girls who have kept their rolesthroughout three or four years andstill are being elected as queens fordifferent campus occasions. MimiEvans and Joan Lyding, both Seniors,have been perhaps the two most con¬sistent beauties the quadrangles hasseen, while Sophomores Kay Chit¬tenden, Mike Rathje, Punky Johnson,Jane Moran and l^irlee Smith walkoff with at least one beauty title ayear. As for juniors, Margaret Pea¬cock and Betty Jane Nelson havemaintained their standing as “easyon the eye” despite the competitionthat the new freshmen classes arelikely to present. Besides these out¬standing possessors of what everywoman usually wants, the campus isfairly cluttered with terrifically at¬tractive girls, never having won atitle perhaps, but who are very en¬tertaining and make extremely charm¬ing dates.Refugee Aid Gets$180 in ChapelOver $180 was collected in the Refu¬gee Aid Easter Sunday collection,bringing the total sum of money incash and pledges for this year to over$530. This money will be divided be¬tween the European Student Service,the Far Eastern Student Service, andrefugee students on the Univer¬sity campus.

FRIDAY. APRIL 25. 1941Netters Beat Wisconsin In Opener, 7-2Captain Cal Sawyier Leads Tennis Teamin Defeat of Badgers as HeWins Two MatchesBy PHIL RIEFFDespite the weather, the wind, and the disconcerting publicity stunts byBlackfriar advertisers, Chicago’s 1941 tennis team made an auspicious debutyesterday as they defeated Wisconsin, 7-2, in the initial Maroon meet of theseason. Wisconsin, victors over Iowa last week, could not keep up with thewealth of material Wally Hebert threw into the foray against them, and onlyBill Wright and the doubles team of Bob Bruce and Afmin Schudson couldwin for the Badgers.Cal Sawyier, the Maroon captain,indicated the probable trend of eventsin the Number One match, when hecompletely outplayed Sherwood Gor-enstein, the stylish Cardinal junior,6-4, 6-0. Sawyier, adapting his gameto the adverse circumstances, easilyovercame Gorenstein in the first set,and blanked the unnerved Badger inthe second bout. The match was neverout of Sawyier’s hands, with Goren¬stein showing only sporadic examplesof his best form.Kemetick Looks GoodWhile Sawyier was doing his dutyin one court, Wally Kemetick provedthat he will ^ a dangerous sophomorein the Western Conference this yearas he methodically smashed Art Niel¬son, the bespectacled Wisconsin cap¬tain, into discard on a 6-2, 6-2 romp.Bill Self, another of the list of pro¬ficient sophomores on the Chicago ros¬ter, continued the rout with a 6-1, 6-4triumph over Ed Koehl. The MaroonNumber Four man weakened in thefinal set, and allowed Koehl to climbto a 4-4 tie, but he inunediately ap¬plied an effective forcing game uponthe Badger base-line player.Bod Lifton downed his singles op¬ponent, Bob Negendank, 8-6, 6-4. AndJim Hill, lone senior on the Chicagosquad, enjoyed a pleasant 6-3, 6-1 aft¬ernoon against Schudson, the blondoccupant of the Cardinal Number Fivepost.Martin LosesDave Martin became the sole Ma¬roon to suffer the stigma of defeat atWisconsin hands, with a bitterly con¬tested 6-4, 5-7, 10-8 loss to Wiscon¬sin’s Bob Wright. The Chicago duoof Bill Self and Jim Hill were theother Maroon culprits, losing theirdoubles match to Bruce and Schudsonby a 6-1, 6-3 count.Kemetick and Ralph Johanson weretoo versatile for a Badger Koehl-Neg-endank combination, and took the sec¬ond doubles match 6-4, 8-6.

Beforethe advent of the early century stu¬dent football teams that characterizedChicago for so many decades, the Mid¬dle West was the laughable lackey ofsports—in Eastern eyes. But soon theChicago elevens were reverently re¬spected as the “mysterious stranger’’of football and, when Walter Peter iSteffen—one of Chicago’s three great¬est backfield stars — made WalterCamp’s traditionally eastern All-American team, the Middle West wasdefinitely pushed onto the road to itspresent position of the spear-head ofcollege sports in these United States.In football, the Maroons have wonand shared the title in eight seasons,and in 1922 the Chicago out-fit wasundefeated. Those were the days whenthe game was still a matter of studentparticipation.Seven Cage TitlesSeven Maroon basketball teamshave won or tied for championships,and the track team has been identical¬ly fortunate. Maroon tennis, now di¬rected by Wally Hebert, is the unchal¬lenged titan of the league, with 32flags in 47 conference sessions. Suchnames as George Lott, Charles Sho-strom, the Murphy twins. Bill andChet, are mere jottings in the longlist of tennis greats that call the Uni¬versity alma mater.The gymnastics team, led by thelate Dan Hoffer, has a record un¬equaled by any such sports assemblyDominant note in Chicago sports of1940-41 has been that “next year”would be the year. With an outstand¬ing sophomore class, the sports out¬look for the next two years is pro¬portionately brighter than it has ^enfor years.Despite the cessation of intercolle¬giate football on a formal basis theturn-out for six-man football and theinformal 11-man scrimmages was verylarge. The number of freshmen wasespecially great for this school.Semi-formal 11-ManThe program of informal scrim¬mages with small schools with no eligi¬bility rules enforced will be enlargednext year. There is a strong possi¬bility that the University will have aregular schedule drawn up althoughthis does not indicate a return to theformal competition as the nation’spress would have the public believe.The basketball team, despite theoutstanding performance of CaptainJoe Stampf, the Western Conference’shigh scorer had a poor record, finish¬ing last in the Conference withoutwinning a game.Coach Nels Norgren is looking for¬ward to next season with almost asmile on his usual melancholy face.Stampf will be the only man on thesquad to graduate. Forming the nu¬cleus of the team next year will be thehard-driving Jack Fons, long-shot ar¬tist Ed Nelson, somber Chuck Wag-genberg, ace ball-handler Fred Shaver,and defensively-strong Jim Crosbie.Jorgenson for StampfMuch help is expected from thisyear’s freshman squad with John Jor¬genson, Bob Oakley, and Bob Smidlespecially affording assistance. Thelanky Jorgenson is looked to replaceStampf at the center post.Swimming turned up with two out¬standing stars and a doubtful record.Bill Baugher and Art Bethke were theoutstanding performers as the Maroontankment tied with Purdue for sev¬enth place in the Conference meet.Coach Ned Merriam uncovered anexceedingly strong crop of sophomoresduring the indoor track season andshould place one of the strongestteams in the Big Ten on the cindersnext year.
