Uncle Samcomes in for one of the reasons forthe lack of men (in the style show)this year. Then, of course, the showis much better when seen from theaudience.Incidentally, guests at the fashionshow are all of the “paying” order.The University Settlement needs every115 cents admission.CatholicsConveneAfter four months of comparativepeace and quiet, the Chapel basementis again commencing to hum with' thereturn of its occupants.

Thisyear Ingrid Bergman was AnnaChristie in summer stock. The D.A.production of the play is as yet uncast.Author O’Neill has been twice aPulitzer prize winner. Th\s winterhis new play, “The Iceman Cometh”will open on Broadway. Eating PricesForce Jump InRising CostsThe housewives from all corners ofthe nation are raising their voices inloud protest at the upshoot in foodprices since the beginning of the de¬fense boom. And not all the voicesare those of housewives, either.Right here on campus, for instance,dieticians and those in charge of pre¬paring food for student consumptionare worried about the necessity ofraising student eating prices to meetthe price jump in staples. None of thecampus “restaurants” try to make alarge margin of profit, but in orderto break even they are being forcedto boost their tariffs. Such staples asbutter, eggs, meat, and all kinds ofdairy products have risen almost 25percent. Other foods have risen a fewcents per unit, and a meal which ayear ago would have cost the student40 cents, cannot now be prepared forless than 47 or 48 cents.Supervisors of campus dining hallsare faced with a difficult problem.Hutchinson Commons, for instance,already serving an increased attend¬ance over the same period of 1940, hasincreased Its prices approximatelyfour cents on a thirty cent meal, andfinds that it may be forced to add twoor three more pennies to make bothends meet. Since the Common’s tradeis almost exclusively from studentsand faculty, a great increase in theprice of meals would seriously affectthe campus. And yet, the Commonsdoesn’t want to go in the red and bea drag on the University budget.The defense boom has not affectedemployment in the dining halls asseriously as it has other branches oflabor on the campus and thruout the(Continued on page three)Cole Discusses TermsOf Military TheoryHugh Cole“A General Examination of Terms Used in Military Theory will be thetitle of tonight’s lecture by Hugh Cole of the History department, the In¬stitute of Military Studies and the Daily Times, opens his Military Theory(A 11) course in the South Room of the Law School at 9.Sponsored by Chicago’s unique In¬stitute of Military Studies, the lec¬ture series will extend through De¬cember 10 and will include lecturesand critical discussions of the works-of the leading military theorists, suchas Frederick the Great, Napoleon andVon Clausewitz.Special emphasis will be placed onthe modern period including French,German and Russian theory from1918-1941.

Tonight at 5:30, Maroon fraternities will start their yearly rat-i-ace, thefall rushing program. All Greek letter clubs will hold open house for fresh¬men.For the next six weeks, Chicago’s Greeks and fraternity-minded fresh¬men will foous their attention on the rushing ritual. Every year it’s that way.Only when the smoke and steam from the last-minute hot-boxes have settled,and harassed, bewildered neophyteshave finally signed one way or theother, will crack campus salesmenrelax their frantic effovt. Then Rush¬ers and rushees alike lose their hunt¬ed, hang-dog look and pause to surveythe results of their ordeal.Transfers ToMeet HutchinsTonight At 8Ida Noyes Library, tonight, will bethe scene of a second President’s Re¬ception, this time for Transfer Stu¬dents and their parents.

DorothyTeberg who is in charge of theprogram has announced that threerepresentatives of each club willbe present to speak to all those in¬terested. Rushing rules will beread and refreshments served. Look InsideIt is customary for rushing to startslowly and work up to a swirling, blaz¬ing finish. Tonight’s affair will lastfor nearly five hours, while out-of-towners have their first chance to seethe inside of a Chicago fraternityhouse. Wise freshmen plan to makeas many houses as possible tonight,meeting the boys so they can startweeding out right away.Strictly CleanIt will be interesting to watch thisyear’s developments, in light of theI-F Council’s policy of strictly cleanrushing. Several houses last year for¬feited their dollar-a-man bond foilittle infringements of the code andagree that it didn’t pay. PresidentTraeger reaffirmed that the Councilwill enforce the rules and adviseel bothFreshmen and actives to cooperate inthe program for clean rushing. ^ 'PlanSandCBonfireBeginning the Autumn Quarter witha bonfire and rally Friday night be¬fore the Ida Noyes Council OpenHouse, Skull and Crescent, sophomorehonor society, points to a year thatwill exceed last year’s activity.

The house on thenorthwest corner of 57th and Ken¬wood, across from Stineway’s Drug¬store was on fire.The chief was there in his red car,the firemen were there in three firetrucks, and all the natives were outon the streets in their quaint nativedress, very excited and very bohem¬ian. Unfortunately, no one, not thechief, or the firemen, or any of thenatives, knew how it started.

The odds are against our winning thiswar not merely because Hitler controls mostof continental Europe. It was the spirit of self¬ishness disguised as patriotism, of greed em¬bodied in archaic ideas of justice, and of dis¬honesty too often known as statesmanship thatsabotaged the last peace conference and laid thegroundwork for the rise of Fascism. That samespirit is still too much with us. To win this warwe must defeat not only Hitler but also thosewho would make w’hat we are fighting for anightmare of more and perhaps worse Hitlers,rather than a decent post war political and eco¬nomic reorganization.TRAVELINGBAZAARJAMES BURTLERICHARD HIMMEL BOARD OF CONTROLEditorialRICHARD PHILBRICK, ChairmanROBERT REYNOLDSBUSINESSCHESTER SMITH, business managerRICHARD BOLKS, advertising managerEDITORUL ASSOCIATESRobert .Lawson.

Negativelyspeaking, we feel sure that an axis victory willmake war between this country and Germanyinescapable and we would rather fight in Eu¬rope with allies than fight alone in the WesternHemisphere. It is true that America is not indanger of immediate invasion, but it is also truethat the South American countries are cultur¬ally more tied to Europe than to the UnitedStates. In spite of the Good Neighbor Policy,they are by no means impregnable to axis in¬fluence and eventual domination. And even themembers of the America First Committee arenot prepared to defend the proposition thatAmerica can remain a democracy alone in atotalitarian hemisphere.Not Merely SelfishBut merely fighting to save our own necksis selfish and subjective. Such a policy may pro¬tect us in the present crises but will not contrib¬ute one iota to solving the basic problem ofmaintaining order in the world. If we are towin this war in anything more than the way inwhich our fathers won the last war, we fightthis war with more than a desire to win a purelymilitary victory. In spite of the ingloriousdemise of the league of nations, we know of noalternative to international organization thatwill preserve peace in the world. But unlessAmerica is an active participant in the presentstruggle, we do not see how we can be an ac¬tive patricipant in the post war reconstruction.The experience of the last post war periodshows clearly without American support an in¬ternational organization starts out on a shakyfoundation. The tremendous wealth of this na¬tion will make it possible for us to strongly in¬fluence policy formation in Europe. While weare far from a nation of angels, it is probablytrue that we have less of the bitter hatredswhich the different peoples of Europe probablyhave toward each other. We may be able tothrow the balance of power on the side of soundpost war political and economic policies.More Than Beating HitlerBut a decent post war settlement cannot bewon merely by beating Hitler. We are reallyfighting something of a double war against boththe axis and those who want the war to be na¬tionalist and imperialist rather than a world By BEATA MUELLERLast year my revered colleague Himmel made glam¬our and I made fun of it. Now it’s my turn to be theindicator of destiny, and I am unversed in glamour, butI will point out the famous, the infamous, and theamazing to those less favored by fortune.In the first category, of those w’ho should be famousis Stuart Schulberg whose perennial bow tie looks likea misplaced mustache. Gruff Nan Warner is also im¬portant, as one of the least Wyvern of the Wyverns.Nor should we forget Tony Geber, an oasis in the wilder¬ness of International House, or Beezy Rosenheim, whois a very nice girl. Finally, we should mention sinisterDick Runge, who pursues abstract truth and ignoresthe women who pursue him.SecondlyIn the second category, the would-be-infamous, onecould not possibly omit sweater girl Betty Blum, al¬though she has restricted herself to one fake gardeniainstead of three, and now looks like a Mortar Boardlegacy. There is also Sara Lee Pilot, the prototype ofall girls who wear pixie glasses, and Frazier Rippy whowalks along campus murmuring audibly, “this place—it is definitely declass^’.”T. V. Smith LastlyThe category ofthe amazing. Thisincludes the Russianwho teaches Sans¬krit and how tothrow hand gren¬ades, and professorHenry Simons, theadvocate of positivelaissez-faire, whojust got married.Certainly one couldnot leave out NelsFuqua, who has de¬voted the best yearsof his life to beinga college boy, since1921 exactly, or T.V. Smith, who smil¬ed pleasantly at hisfreshman philosophy_ class and said, “A-.. .virgin minds ha! Virgin minds!’’And at last no-one should forget the little man in theInt House elevator who told the handsome young wom¬an standing next to him, “The trouble with you is,you’re too strong-willed.”Maybe I should apologize for leaving the freshmenout of all these categories, but they are too young andI know them too little to predict their individual des¬tinies. However, if they sit quietly to listen and learn,maybe someday they too will grow to be famous, in¬famous, or amazing.Are you glamorous?Look for your name.Are you intellectual?Find food for thought.READThe Daily Maroon Yellow CardSolves StudentTution WoesA dangerous menace to the sanityof students has been beaten back,through the efforts of a committee in¬cluding Registrar Miller and SportsBoss Metcalf. The disease of crumbli-tis will no longer attack tuition re¬ceipts with its old vigor.If you are not of the species loving¬ly termed, “freshies,” you probablyrejoiced, did six cartwheels, and help¬ed pay Hanley’s beer taxes wh^n youreceived a little yellow 4 by 2 and3/16 inch card. If you didn’t cheerloudly, it was because you failed tosee in it the salvation of all your dif¬ficulties with lost and crumpled tui¬tion receipts. If you are a freshmanthank the good man above you neverhad to struggle with three elusive tui¬tion receipts.The rejoicing will mean that nolonger will you have to show three lit¬tle hunks of paper for sports events,to get library cards, rent books, andto prove you aren’t an axis spy.Georgia Hinchliff thinks there is achange because the University isgoing modernistic, rounded cornersand all. She adds that, “the new cardis easier to find in my purse.” Wewould like to know since when wasanything easy, to find in a femalepurse.Bill Roberts doesn’t like the yellowpasteboards. He knew the tuition re¬ceipts from U High days and com¬plains that, “you can’t crumble theseyellow jobs up and stick them in yourears when the professor gets boring.”Janet Peacock goes for any “newwrinkle that won’t wrinkle.”Gordie and Larry Traeger boththink it’s, “a mighty slick job.” But ofcourse it is printed on smooth paper.Freddie Shaver is non-committal, butthen he doesn’t have to show a receiptto see basketball games. Ginny Nich¬ols is happy that no one will doubt herstatus as a student when she is miss¬ing $3 out of a total of $106 in tuitionreceipts. It would be annoying to be98% student, 2% barbarian.Bob Monaghan is happy over thewhole thing. He hopes that maybe thepowers that be will keep up the goodwork. Maybe some day the Universitywill issue students the money, collecttuition receipts. It wouldn’t be so badto make the demanding ticket takerwalk 10 blocks to get a receipt.But there is another angle. Stopthinking about your own selfish gain.Think of how much work will be savedBursar Cotton when he doesn't haveto issue tuition receipts to replacemutilated ones. Or at least he ishappy about it. He told us so.We finally know the real reason. Itsthose rounded corners. Chicago istruly doing its stuff to save paper fornational defense! ! ! New Book by AdlerOn Publisher’s ListMortimer J. Adler is breaking intoprint again with both a book and aseries of magazine articles.The book is a “Dialectic of Morals”,which appeared as a series of three ar¬ticles in the Review of Politics re¬cently is coming out soon. Culled fromhis experience with Sophist studentswhile teaching ethics in the LtnvSchool, the book exhaustively reportsSophist attitudes on morals.Adler is also publishing jointly withFather Walter Farrell a series of ar¬ticles on democracy, to run in theThomist Magazine. Two years agoAdler published a paper on the samesubject which he had written in con¬nection with a course on Aristotle’sPolitics he was then conducting. Fath¬er Farrell was the most outspoken ofthe many critics which attacked thepaper.

WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 8. 1941 Page ThreeRieff RevealsWay Of Pickin’By PHIL RIEFFWorking on the Maroon has threeobviously commendable features. DickHimmel constantly enlivens the officewith his cute manner. Few people needworry about any profit (the Maroon isa work of love); and the slightestsign of intelligence brings a flock ofworshippers to your feet.Most people experience the first andsecond items, but the third happenedto me yesterday.For I have found the perfect systemof football prophecy, and so, naturally,idolatrous scribblers of the Baum-l.awson sports school have beseechedme to reveal my god-like talent. Withthe rest of the worshippers, they kneltand begged me to whisper the magicformula for picking winners in theMaroon “expert’s” sports poll.So I resolved to let my colleagues,Werner Baum and Bob Lawson, in onMcGillivray. . . uusitikable ''Ivon/'a theory elaborated by 0. Spengler,H. Heine, a few minor genius, andmyself. ,I whispered “historical precedence”in their eager ears. Lawson trembledviolently. Baum muttered his thanks,bowed, scraped, and rushed off to takea cold shower. He was excited! Atlast he had listened to the only suc¬cessful formula in existence for pick¬ing winners in a child’s exercise called“Pickin’ ’Em.”Lawson steadied himself and howled,“Now I’m a REAL sportswritcr.” Heasked me not to tell another soul. Hewanted to have it for himself.But I have resolved to hand out,free of charge, the unearthly systemof predicting college football scores toall po.sterity. It is simple. Based onprecedence, the system shows thatBrooklyn was bound to win because ofthe international situation. Thus itwas in 1916, when America was on theverge of a world death struggle andBrooklyn won a pennant. The U. S.will probably enter W. W. II in 1942to gain surcease from Brooklyn’s sor¬row in 1940. It happened that way in1917. Shaughnessy will pilot threestraight Stanford teams to the RoseBowl, as “Tiny” Thornhill did beforehim. You can carry this theory intoany sport without fear of contradic¬tion. Chicago, for example, has analmost complete precedence of losingteams and no major team will daretry something radically new this year.There, then, is the whole idea. Bythe way...bet your shirt on Case tobeat Albion next Saturday. Lawsonand Baum pick Albion.Prices—(Continued from page one)nation.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 8. 1941Student Shirkers IrritateMilitary Director Rubin“Enrollment in military training inall institutions offering it has risensharply, but what is surprising is thenumber of students who continue tobe indifferent to opportunities for pre¬service basic military training. Thelimited interest of Chicago studentsin the course given on Friday nightsin the Field House is a case in point.”Thus did Arthur H. Rubin, director ofthe University’s Institute of MilitaryStudies, characterize the generalapathy to the Intensive MilitaryCourse among students here.Rubin severely scored those “es¬capist” students on campus who re¬fuse to think about anything militarythat effects them directly, even to theextent of avoiding basic militarytraining as an extracurricular activity.“It is a commonplace,” he said “thatAmerican students do not take kindlyto the idea of military training, evenwhen their country is all but involvedin a shooting war. Many say thatwhen they are drafted they will re¬ ceive all the training they will everneed,” he went on, “while others saythat they will then receive all thetraining they will ever want.” Ac¬cording to Rubin, in addition to bebeing pre-medical, pre-law, pre-busi¬ness pre- any other kind of student,most young men in college today arealso pre-military students and theymight as well make the best of op¬portunities to prepare themselves forthe careers most of them will be fol¬lowing whether they like it or not.As an answer to the common cry,“But you can’t get a commission inthe Field House,” Rubin pointed outthat for the majority of studentsR.O.T.C. has facilities for only basictraining and that 70% or more of allR.O.T.C. students do not go beyondthe two year basic course and thusget no commissions. The Field Housecourse, he explained, condenses thetwo-year R.O.T.C. basic course andcovers new infantry drill regulations,scouting and patrolling, elementarytactics and tactical exercises, rifle marksmanship, musketry, organization of the army, first aid, map work,military law, interior guard, militarypolice, and gas protection.“If for only two reasons, then”Rubin concluded, “any prudent youngman might well spend an evening aweek undergoing basic military in¬structions. First, he wants to assurehimself of an equal chance to be se¬lected for the officers training school,and second, is the value of acquiring,through pre-service training, somefore-knowledge and fore-waming ofwhat it means to be subject to mili¬tary discipline and the highly imper¬sonal routine of military life.”The course, officially known as“008,” has meetings every Friday eve¬ning from 7 to 10, beginning October10 and concluding December 12.

Leites, instructor in political sci¬ence at the University of Chicago, dis¬closed.Dr. Leites spoke on “An Analysis ofDefeat Symbols” at the annual meet¬ing of the Sixth International Con¬gress for the Unity of Science.Dr. Leites reported a recent re¬search study of Communist publica¬tions since 1919 to determine thechanging manner in which results ofelection defeats were handled by thepublications. The study was made byDr. Leites and Ithiel Pool, research as¬sistant in political science at the Uni¬versity.Thirty election defeats were stud¬ied, an “election defeat” being definedas “an election outcome in which thepercentage of the total vote receivedby the Communist Party declined asagainst the previous election,” Dr.Leites said. Election statistics weregathered from all European countriesas well as from the United States toinsure a complete record of Com¬munist election defeats between 1919and 1940, he added.“The results show,” Dr. Leites said,“that the most important single factorin determining the type of thing saidabout defeats was the general po¬litical line of the Communist Interna¬tional.“Extreme radical or ‘left’ periods,such as that between 1928 and 1934,were marked by frankness and self-criticism concerning election defeats.More moderate or “right” periods,such as the era of the People’s Frontmovement instituted in 1934 weremarked by denials of defeat and byself-righteousness.“Since 1934 the attitude of Com¬munist publications toward electiondefeats has had very little to do withthe actual facts concerning the elec¬tion. This divorcement from realityhas steadily increased.”In discussing possible causes of thecorrelation of a “left” period with“frankness,” Dr. Leites said:“In a loft period the whole ques¬tion of mass support of the Partyloses its importance. Greater empha¬sis is placed upon the role of theParty as against that of the massesin the execution of the revolution.”On the other hand. Dr. Leites said,turns to the right are characterized byincreased emphasis on the role playedby the ‘masses,’ hence the importanceof distorting facts in publicationswhich report election defeats.Dr. Leites also pointed out that“left” periods emphasize the themethat conditions must become worsebefore they become better, conse¬quently there is no need to minimizefacts concerning Party defeats. Con¬versely, a “right” period is char¬acterized by optimism concerningprogress and therefore the Party ismore interested in stressing immedi¬ate advances and playing down retro¬gression, Dr. Leites said. Home StudentsHalf scholarships will be given by theUniversity of Chicago to members ofthe United States’ armed forces whoenroll in courses offered through theHome Study Department, PresidentRobert M. Hutchins announced today.The plan is designed to give an op¬portunity for continued study to menwhose educational program has beeninterrupted by their joining the Army,Navy, Marines or Air Corps andwhose income has been reduced.The scholarships will be limited tomen in tlv ranks and non-commission¬ed officers. Regular course charge is$20. The University will absorb halfof this fee with a $10 half-scholarshipor tuition remission for each coursetaken by men in the services.Finds NewType StarA new type of star, unique amongthe thousands which have been stud¬ied in the heavens, which approxi¬mately every five months casts off itsshell of intensely heated metallic va¬pors, much as a snake sheds its skin,was reported recently by Drs. OttoStruve, and Burke Smith, of the Uni¬versity of Chicago.Dr. Struve, professor of astrophys¬ics and director of the University’sYerkes observatory, and Dr. Smith re¬ported their discovery at the sixty-sixth annual meeting of the Ameri¬can Astronomical Society, meeting atYerkes observatory, at Williams Bay,Wisconsin.“The star, 17 Leporis, ai)proxi-mately once in 152 days, undergoesa series of violent perturbations,”they reported. “The spectral linessplit in two, showing that for someobscure reason, a part of the atmos¬phere is driven off from the rest ofthe atmosphere and is lost in space.These outbursts last only a few daysor weeks. They are similar in char¬acter to the outbursts of Novae (“newstars”, which erupt to sudden bril¬liance) but are less violent and arenot accompanied by observable in¬creases in the visible light of thestar.“The outbursts are not all of equalviolence, and they do not repeat them¬selves at equal intervals. Sometimesthe interval is only 137 days, while atother times it is as long as 162 days.It is of interest that all the outburstsare accompanied by an increase inthe ionization (electron shifts) of thegases.”Have you bought a Maroonsubscription yet? DiscussesNationalMoraleNational morale in normal times ismerely the sum of the self-confidenceof the nation’s people in striving fortheir personal goals.In time of crisis, however, nationalmorale becomes the degree to whichthe citizenry substitutes national aimsfor personal goals.If this process is complete to theextent that sacrifices for the nationdo not seem like sacrifices, nationalmorale is high.These views were expressed by Ray¬mond F. Sletto, senior social scientistin the Division of Farm Populationand Rural Welfare, of the Bureau ofAgricultural Economics of the U. S.Department of Agriculture, speakingat the University of Chicago recently.Individuals Unadjustable“Ordinarily the individual is notexpected to orient his personal objec¬tives and activities to any appreciabledegree toward the attainment of na-tonal objectives or programs, nor ishe expected to make great sacrificesor efforts to assist in their attain¬ment,” Mr. Sletto said.“Perhaps this is as it should be ina nation which prizes individual free¬dom and initiative. Under those con¬ditions national morale can best bethought of as some sort of average orsummation of the morale of individ¬uals. Begin ClassesIn GovernmentServiceEstablishment of an Institute ofPublic Service at the University ofChicago, making special training invarious aspects of government avail¬able to the 125,000 public officials andpublic employes in the Chicago metro¬politan area, was announced todayby President Robert M. Hutchins.The Institute will be set up at theUniversity’s downtown College, 18 S.Michigan avenue and classes, openingOctober 7, will be held evenings. Itwill flank the professional courses inbusiness and in the Institute of Sta¬tistics which the University inaugur¬ated a year ago to meet the growingneed in business and government forstatistical fundamentals.A Certificate of Public Administra¬tion will be awarded students satisfac¬torily completing an approved courseand who have attained a Bachelor’sdegree or an acceptable equivalent interms of public service.“The Institute is designed for menand women already in public serviceand for elected officials as well as ap¬pointive and civil service employes,”Mr. Hutchins said.“It is likewise designed for thethousands of citizens who are re¬sponsible for quasi-governmental orcivic affairs in Chicago, or who, asexperts in business and labor, aresubject to governmental regulationsor are dependent upon the wideningrange of governmental functions andservices in order to carry on theirdaily work.“The Institute of Public Servicerepresents a continuation of the Uni¬versity’s traditional concern with thissubject. Rubber NecksGape At You^UniversityThey come in grey buses, blue buses,red buses. And they watch us. Theysee us going to classes, loafing alongUniversity Avenue, walking to thebookstore. When we walk into thePhi Psi house they ask the bus driver,“Is that the divinity school?”They’re sightseers, and the Univer¬sity of Chicago campus is one of thehighlights of the tour. For two dollarsyou get all you can stand to look atin one afternoon. Navy Pier, the ElksNational War Memorial, and the Mid¬way. We’re a feature attraction. We’rethe younger generation, the whitehope of the nation, and they want towatch us studying, carrying books,and being collegiate.The big buses crawl along the Mid¬way, down University and along fifty-seventh, and the driver tells themplace names. “This is Mandel Hallwhere they have all their lectures,and that’s the Quadrangle Club, wherethe professors live.” The bus driverdidn’t graduate from the University.But he went to a football game atStagg field once. One of those gamesthat had the city of Chicago rollingin the aisles, everyone but the stu¬dents.Witty RemarksSo he can malee those witty remarksabout, “This is Stagg cemetery . . .the University buried its football teamhere two years ago.” That gets a biglaugh from every bald head on thebus. Nobody’s listening when the kindold lady near the back says, “My hus¬band tells me that these boys andgirls came here to study.”Scientific BettingBetter Than HunchesNational Problem“If the purpose of a morale buildingprogram is to bring about the attain¬ment of national objectives, then thisprogram, in its early stages, shouldbe directed toward bringing about achange in the basis of individual mor¬ale by effecting a reorientation of in¬dividual objectives around the objec¬tives of the nation.“Our problem in determining howcompletely personal objectives havebeen oriented towards national objec- Scientific betting is sounder thancommon sense methods of wagering,but there are gambling situations inwhich the laws of probability cannotbe applied, and times when even play¬ing a “hunch” is dictated.This conclusion was presented in adiscussion of the science of probabil¬ity, now an indispensible tool in mod¬ern business as well as in scientificresearch, recently by Dr. Milton B.Singer, research associate in philos¬ophy at the University of Chicago,and authority on mathematical meth¬odology.Dr. Singer classified methods ofbetting into the scientific, common-sense, and superstitious. The scientificmethod is superior to the other two,he said, because it provides an exactmethod of calculating odds andchances.“However,” he declared, “it cannotcompletely supplant the use of com¬mon sense and superstition in makingbets. There are many bets in whichtives is one of knowing how deter¬mined are the individuals who com¬pose the nation that these nationalobjectives shall be achieved, as evi¬denced by their willingness to makesacrifices, expend effort, and endureadversities to realize these ends. the laws of probability are not ap¬plicable because the bets do not in¬volve repeatable phenomena, or b<*-cause statistics about the relevantfactors have not been gathered.“For example, it is not possible topredict accurately the odds in favorof a British victory in the pre.sentwar, because world wars are not asnumerous as throws of dice.“Predictions of this sort have to bemade on the basis of common sen.se,and they are usually influenced bypseudo-scientific theories, as well assuperstitious and emotional consider¬ations.”In discussing the origin of the sci¬ence of probability. Dr. Singer said:“This method got its real start inthe seventeenth century when a schol¬arly French gambler, Chevalier deMere, asked Fermat, a famous math¬ematician, to solve a problem in dicegambling for him.‘“The problem was why the chancesof getting a six with four rolls of asingle die would be greater than thechances of getting a double six withtwenty-four rolls of two dice. DeMere had observed that this was ac¬tually so but he reasoned that thechances should be the same. Fermatproved that his observations were cor¬rect, but not his reasoning, and indoing .so, began the science of prob¬ability.PERHAPS YOU HAVE READ SPINOZA ANDADMIRE MILTON, BUT WHAT DOES IT GETYOU?
