Fraternity Men VetoRushing Set-up, WouldShortenRushingPeriodDissatisfaction with the present length of the rushing program was ex¬pressed by a majority of the fraternity men answering the Maroon Fraternity•Poll on the basis of the early returns available at press time.Most of those who were dissatisfied believed that the period was toolong. A typical written-in comment was “Rushing period too long—can’t getany homework done for 6 weeks—long rushing period helps big houses.”Winter quarter was next in popularity, with pledging before school andspring quarter trailing far behind.According to the poll, over half of the freshmen who pledged this yearwore illegally rushed. This is higher than any of the three preceding years.There was approximately a 10 per cent increase in the amount this year ascompared to last year.As far as upperclassmen are concerned, only about two-thirds as manytook part in illegal rushing as didn’t.Opinion on the rushing rules was fairly clearly opposed to the rushingrules also. There were many comments on this question.“The rules are fairly good for the present system, but the whole setupneeds overhauling. It should be possible to conduct rushing on a more gentle¬manly and honorable basis,” wrote one senior.“I think these rushing rules are foolish. The result is that the housethat breaks the rules oftenest, gets the most pledges. The ideal arrangementwould be no restriction on rushing—most pledging would therefore be overat the end of the first week of school, and nobody, either rushees or fraternitymen, would be disorganized,” wroteanother senior.Further refinements are being madeon the returns and more completeinformation will be published later.The poll was undertaken with thecooperation of the Dean’s office andthe Interfraternity Council. Two meet¬ings of fraternity men were held dur¬ing the rushing period to discuss theprevelance of illegal rushing.The second one, held Tuesday, No¬vember 19, was called by AssistantDean of Students William J. Scott.While illegal rushing was di.scussedby the fraternity men, Scott’s prin¬cipal concern was with the pledging(late. Said he, “I am not contentedwith Autumn quarter rushing.”During the course of the rushingperiod two fraternities. Phi GammaDelta and Phi Delta Theta, were con¬victed of illegal rushing and forfeitedtheir dollar-a-man bond posted withthe Interfraternity Council at thebeginning of thb year.Nature Flops In EffortTo QiangeWar’s CourseTuesday’s earthquake in the Atlantic Ocean at 20“ West Longitude and40“ North I.atitude will not decide the course of the war. So says Hilmutl.andsberg, associate professor of meteorology. In fact, though he hated tocontradict a headline creating press, Landsberg said it was far from beingthe most severe ever recorded.A tidal wave cau.sed by the oceanic earthquake would 4>ave had seriousconsequences of harbors in Iceland, Great Britain, and Europe. According toProfessor Landsberg such a tidal wave would have reached land within,“two or three hours.” Naval ships in the vicinity may have been damaged, anda submarine traveling on the surface with hatches open could have easilybeen swamped, Cases have been known in which ships of many tons wereblown completely from the water and severely damaged.The earthquake near the Madiera Islands is comparable in location withthe Lisbon quake of November 1, 1755, which was felt all over the continentof Europe. However, the Lisbon quake was more intense. Landsberg saysthat if the recent disturbance had occurred in an inhabited area the damageand loss of life would have been tremendous.The shock was the most severe since 1933, when there was an eruptionin Turkestan. The 1923 Japanese quake was of equal magnitude.Laves Leaves To TakeJob In WashingtonWalter H. C.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 27. 1941 Three CentsDorms BoostPrices As FoodCosts JumpThe current upward trend of foodand labor costs has forced the resi¬dents of the men’s and women’s dorm¬itories to assume a portion of theincrease. Women living in Foster,Kelly, Green, and Beecher will findtheir present board increased by 7.5per cent with the start of WinterQuarter. The men in Burton and Jud-son Courts will be required to pay anadded 6 per cent at the same time.Sharp IncreaseIn comparing the cost of raw foodfor October 1941 with that of thepreceding October, Mrs. EvelynDrake, Supervisor of Women’s Resi¬dence Halls, found the increase inprice to be 16 per cent. Over thesame period of time. Miss GertrudeBinns, of the Men’s Residence Halls,noticed an upswing of 18.6 per cent.Laundry costs for both halls havegone up 8 per cent and labor for theMen’s Halls has gone up 11 per cent.Electricity, supplies, and repairs alsoshow an increase although no definitefigure has been reached.Thus the proportionately small per¬centage required of the residentsdisplays keen budgeting on the partof the Supervisors. In a circular tothe men. Miss Binns stated that con¬siderable stores of canned goods andgroceries, purchased for this year atlast year’s price, had kept the in¬crease down to a minimum, but withthe increase, the new supplies willcost considerably more.Elconomy UrgedCirculars to both men and womenurged the residents to observe thestrictest economy in regard to elec¬tricity, food waste, and hot water.There is no guarantee that this pres¬ent increase will be the last, but thepurchasing agents for the dormsagreed to cut costs by judiciouslyobserving price trends and expectedthe residents to do their share byconsiderate care of the furniture andequipment.Don’t Laugh!Girls DormsRate As Best“I think that the girls’ accommoda¬tions here rank with the best in thisregion for the money we’re charging,”said William B. Herrell, business man¬ager of the University yesterday.The annual report of Women’s Resi¬dence Halls and Commons publishedin the Maroon Friday, November 7,has raised many questions in theminds of readers.Asked about the item which showedthat the average per person per dayspent on raw food was 41 cents, hereplied that it depended upon the girlsand the food. He said that the fre¬quent surveys he had taken showedthat the girls were satisfied althoughhe admitted that he hadn’t taken onethis year.Seeks to SatisfyTold that many of the girls saythat they spend as much as 50 cents inthe Coffee Shop or Commons on addi¬tional food, he explained that the ad¬ministration sought to satisfy theaverage girl.“Many girls would rather spend $90a quarter for board and get betterfood. Others feel they can only af¬ford about $75 for board. Actually,we charge $82,” Herrell declared.Queried about the net earnings of$6,227.44, he replied that within thelast 10 years the group of Foster,Beecher, Kelly, and Green had justabout broken even. “Some years theymade money, some years they lost it,”he said.Cost of Upkeep*In regard to the 26 cents a day apersbn for cleaning and decorating, re¬pairs and provision for replacement(Continued on page three) Hutchins Says—Military Institute AndResearch Make ChicagoLeader In DefenseLend an Ear. . . the president speaksCoffee ShopYanks PilferSmoke GiftsSome-weeks ago-, out ^-the fertileGothic tower on the Chicago Rivercame many large and empty boxeslabeled “Smokes for the Yanks.” Theidea of this, according to old MotherTribune, was that people—you, andyou, and you—would put cigarettes inthe large empty boxes, and the cigar¬ettes would be sent to Our Boys in thearmy camps.But the Tribune’s child has goneastray. Take, for example the “Smokesfor the Yanks” box in the Coffee Shop.The first week, no one caught on verywell, and there were only a few straycigarettes and an old chewed cigar-end in the box. The next week therewere several packages of cigarettes,but then the better-educated decadentsof the Coffee Shop got the idea. Yes¬terday the Tribune box was removedfrom the Coffee Shop, due to academicpriorities, because as soon as someoneput cigarettes in the box, someone elsetook them out, and smoked them. By ROBERT LAWSONPresident Robert Hutchins express¬ed satisfaction with the part univer¬sities and colleges are playing in thenational defense effort but was a lit¬tle gloomy about the financial prob¬lems which the world crisis hadbrought about, in an interview withthe Maroon yesterday.“There are two reasons for theUniversity’s leadership in the defensework,” he said. “One is the Univer¬sity’s leadership in the natural sci¬ences and the Institute of MilitaryScience which has gained publicitythroughout the country, and the otheris its strategic location.”Asked about the possibility of apermanent program of cooperationbetween the national government andthe universities and colleges he re¬plied that the outlook on that problemwas doubtful. He pointed to themeteorology program currently car¬ried on through cooperation with theAir Corps, the Civilian AeronauticsAuthority, and the Weather Bureau asan example. In a short time the Uni¬versity, California Tech, and Massa¬chusetts Institute of Technology willhave turned out enough trained menfor some time to come. It is probablethat the government will then with¬draw its aid.Doubts Result“Some work will probably continue.in the science field, however. In re¬spect to long-range results I doubtthat such a program will be satis¬factory. For short-range projects,however, it would be,” the presidentopined.Pointing out that most of the Uni¬versity’s contributions to the defenseefforts lay outside its regular cur¬riculum and did not materially affectthe educational program, he termedit “a lucky accident.”“It is highly desirable for the uni¬versities and colleges to contribute itsfacilities to the defense program aslong as it does not interefere with thetwo main functions of a universitywhich are a high educational level anda scientific interest,” he commented.Less Optimistic StatementsThe financial state of the Univer¬sity, however, elicited less optimisticstatements from President Hutchins.(Continued on page four)Individual results will later be giv¬en those taking the exam, enablingthem to insjtitute appropriate reme¬dies.

NOVEMBER 27. 1941CZECH STUDENTS ISSUE MANIFESTOCharge Hitler RuinsForeign UniversitiesThe following manifesto was written by Czech students of theUniversity of Chicago. It is addressed to the students of the world.Two years ago the oldest university in Central Europe wasclosed by the Gestapo butchers—its professors and students werekilled or sent to concentration camps. On that one fateful day 150students were executed, 300 more died in concentration camps and800 are still experiencing the living death of Buchenwald.Meanwhile terror rides rampant throughout Europe—hun¬dreds of our comrades—people from all ranks students, profes¬sors, professionals, farmers and workers are being taken fromtheir homes and handed over to the Nazi hangmen.Along with the famous Charles University of Prague all theother universities and higher schools of learning of Czechoslovakiareceived death blows. Their buildings and halls, the centers of ourculture, are now transformed into Gestapo barracks and used toquarter the black S. S.Not By ChanceIt is not by chance that the Nazi blows are directed againstthe most vital part of the nation—its highest institutions. It isa conscious attempt to wound the nation in its most vulnerablespot. With the destruction of the universities the Germans at¬tempted to destroy the wells of spirit culture and to extinguishnational consciousness, the greatest power of resistance againstoppression.Through the destruction of educational facilities the Germanstried to deprive Czechoslovakian youth of educational opportuni¬ties in order that their desire to transform us into a formless massof subservient and spineless slaves could be realized more effective¬ly. Clear thinking and a critical spirit are the greatest enemies ofthe Nazi regime. It is little wonder therefore that the Germansturned first against the universities and their students.Not The FirstThis attempt is not the first of its kind in the history of ourgreat University, which, since its inception in 1348, has been anintegral part of our political and cultural life. Always the ex¬ponent of progressive thought, this University was the first onthe continent to open its doors to the ideas coming in from Wy-cliff’s England, and became the foremost interpreter of the Ref¬ormation in Central Europe. Because of his refusal to deviate fromthis principle of free expression of thought, John Hus, its out¬standing rector was condemned and burned at the stake by theorders of the German Kaiser Sigismund and the Roman CatholicChurch (at that time in a state of disunity and corruption).Start of 30 Years War\When, with the start of the thirty years war, the counter¬reformation, led by the German Kaiser Ferdinand II and the JesuitOrder, won its first battle, the university suffered the severestblow, and with it suffered the whole nation. Symbolic was the fateof its rector John Jesenious. Following the example set by his de¬fense of free speech, his tongue was cut out prior to his decapita¬tion.The university was then closed and during the 200 years inwhich its spiritual and cultural light was extinguished, the nationstruggled to regain its identity and its freedom.Miraculously Czechoslovakia recovered and in 1848 its stu¬dents, forced to resort to German universities for their education,fought on the barricades of Prague for the new ideas born in theAmerican and French Revolutions. In 1871 the students of theresurrected University demonstrated in the streets their sympathyfor the French people on the occasion of their defeat by Bismarckand the occupation of Alsace-Loraine, defying the official pro-Prussian policy of the Hapsburg regime.Amazingly Short TimeWithin an amazingly short time this University, in spite ofits setback of 200 years, regained its dominant position. True toits tradition, it again took to itself the new liberal and humanitar¬ian principles, thereby raising Czechoslovakia to a level with thegreatest democratic nations of modern times.It gave to Czechoslovakia and to the world two of the out¬standing democrats of our time, Masaryk and Benes, and acceptedinto its ranks, artists and scientists expelled from totalitarianstates, such as Thomas Mann, Hans Kelsen, and Franz Werfel.Czechoslovakian students who were fortunate enough to es¬cape the Nazi clutches are now dispersed in all parts of the world.Some are fighting for the cause of democracy and freedom in theallied armies on all fronts. Others are studying at universitieswhich have extended their hospitality to us. We commemorate to¬day our murdered and imprisoned colleagues.Aware of Their SacrificePainful though the memories of these men are to us, we areaware that their sacrifice is but a part of the sacrifice called forfrom peoples of all nations so that Christian civilization may bepreserved. We use this occasion to express our gratitude to theuniversities of America for having provided us with a haven ofrefuge and an opportunity to preserve our intellectual heritage.It is our hope that when our cause is won and we returnhome, we will transplant the best that is in this young and vigorousAmerica to a Europe that is now ravaged and war-torn.

Version Of ^Native Son'By BILL LETWINNative Son is as vivid on the stage as it was onpaper. The acting makes it so. Canada Lee plays BiggerThomas, the young Chicago negro who accidenttilly killsa white heiress. Canada Lee; there is an actor! A manwith a magnificent voice, with a command of emotion,of facial expression that carries everything that Big¬ger feels. When Bigger plays airplane, his “zooom,zooom, gaaaahd damn! makes the audience laugh allover from understanding how happy he is. When Biggorstands on the edge of the stage and shouts out at hispursuers, the audience jumps because they know he isfiring at them too.In the end. Bigger after talking to Mase, has him¬self under control, but how obvious Lee makes it thatBigger is still cursing, if understanding his fate.The ReporterNext to Lee the reporter turns in the neatest job.He is alone in the furnace room with Bigger, whojnhe know's to be the murderer, but whom he has to edgeinto admission. Anyone can act calm. It takes talentto show the agitation under the calmness, and thereporter does it.As for the other leading characters: Mary Dalton,the heiress is played a bit superficially. Lawyer Max,too bombastically. The actor who deserves a good shareof the credit for the first scene is the kid who playsBigger’s little brother. Maybe he plays the part so wellbecause he has lived it; in that case he may never la‘-come a Lee, but in this part he is sup<‘rb.Missed ScriptThe play might have been better than the book. Itmissed in the script. In general, not much content hasbeen removed. Orson Welles isn’t afraid of too muchscenery: there is a set for each scene in the book,except for the inside of the car....\ll of the importanthappenings in the book are in the play. But the onepoint which had to be strong wasn’t. Bigger bringsMary Dalton to her room, because she’s too drunkto walk up the steps. Just as he is ready to leave.Mary’s blind mother enters. In the book, Mrs. Daltonkeeps coming closer and closer to Bigger who is afraidof what might happen if he is found in the beilroom.Mary starts to groan, and to silence her. Bigger gag."her with a pillow. After the mother leaves. Biggerfinds he has suffocated the girl. This is the turningpoint. The play is weak here, bwau.se the amlience isnot let into Bigger’s mind. They do not see the terrorbuilt up in Bigger’s mind by the blind mother gropingher way toward him. They cannot understand sufficientmotivation for the killing.Lawyer Max’s argument to the jury makes it quiteclear what Wright thinks of the guilt in the case. Itrests on a society which fosters hate between black andw'hite, between man and man. The last scene brings outmuch of the power of the play. In'Bigger, Wright showsthe Negro people: strong, determined, with the willfor freedom, and the ability to win it.plenty of odd and sundry tidbits to fill ample space herenext week. _,Is it true ......what they .say about Robert Hutchins and ItoberlLaw'.son.

That is a subject to which I havegiven many seconds of profound thought with the fol¬lowing suggestion resulting.Harper Library should beg, borrow, or steal a num¬ber of candles from the stock room of HutchinsonCommons and install these lighting fixture^ at thereading tables. One can immediately visualize the manyadvantages deriving from such a progressive step. MayI enumerate them? 1, A better balance of “atmosphere”would exist on the campus with candles as well as dirtywindows being characteristic of both Hutchinson andHarper. 2. This step would be in accordance with themedieval traditions of the University. 3. The cajidleswould afford the much-needed light which in this dayand age is almost essential for reading purposes. 4. Theadded effect of bringing the temperature of the roomup to that out of doors should not be overlooked.I trust that this suggestion will find approvalamongst all sections of the student body and its meritsoon recognized by its adoption as an adjunct to the“New Plan.” Very truly yours,Henry A.

He joined the faculty ofHamilton college a year after gaininghis Ph.D. here, and became head ofHamilton’s department of political sci¬ence in 1929.He was made James S.

New Alumni MagazineIs A “Museum Piece”triguing statement” because of tradi¬tional British opposition to the Amer¬ican interpretation of “freedom of theseas.”“The United States has alwaysstood for freedom of the seas,” hedeclared, “and Great Britain has al¬ways rejected our interpretation. In1918 Mr. Lloyd George flatly refusedto accept point two of Wilson’s four¬teen, which stipulated freedom of theseas.Declaration Meaningless“One may suspect therefore thatthis new declaration em’anates fromMr. Roosevelt rather than from Mr,Churchill and that the latter acceptedit because at the end of the war theAmerican navy will no doubt be muchstronger than the British and be¬cause the declaration is meaninglessin peace time.“If, in practice, it means that theBritish and American navies are topolice the world, that is good news,for it will be perhaps the best guaran¬tee of world peace.”Faulty ExecutionDr. Schmitt pointed out that in theperiod following the first World War,the chief mistakes of the Allies layin the faulty execution of the Ver¬sailles Treaty rather than in theprovisions of the treaty, and thatthere was danger that the war aimsof Roosevelt and Churchill might alsobe executed too hastily.“It is obvious,” he said, “that manyof the points of the Roosevelt-Church¬ill declaration will require time towork out, notably those involving eco¬nomic advancement and the estab¬lishment of a system of general inter¬national security.Peace Made Hurriedly“In 1919, peace was made in ahurry, too great a hurry, before ei¬ther governments or peoples wereready, while both were still dominatedby the psychology of war. Let us hopethat at the end of this war a moreleisurely course is pursued.”In discussing the treatment Ger¬many should receive, assuming vic¬tory by the Allies, Dr. Schmitt de¬clared that responsibility for the cur¬rent war lies in the character of theGerman people as well as in the Nazileadership, and that world peace can¬not be established until the Germanpeople have been made repentant bypunishment and heavy reparations.“There are vast stores of books inGermany which can be used to replacethe libraries destroyed in Belgiumand Poland and elsewhere,” he said.“The railways of Germany should betaken up, rail by rail, tie by tie, andrelaid in the areas devastated by Ger¬man armies.Factories Must Be Dismantled“Her armament factories must bedismantled and reerected in the coun¬tries which she overran. Her shipscan be taken on a ton-for-ton basisas substitutes for those sunk by hersubmarines.”As additional punishment, Dr,Schmitt proposed complete occupationof the Rhineland for an indefinite pe¬riod, elimination of German industries,and the eventual reduction of Germanpopulation from eighty to fifty million.Just Retribution“I am aware that this sounds hor¬rendous and unchristian,” he added,“but since Germany has threatened tostarve the Norwegians if they do notsubmit and has put all the conqueredpeoples on starvation rations, I donot see why she should not take someof her own medicine.” The annual bridge tournamentsponsored by the Reynolds ClubCouncil will be run off Tuesdayand Wednesday, December 2 and 3with the play-offs scheduled forThursday, December 4.Eliminations will begin at 7 inthe North Lounge.

Later Sharp backed and sign¬ed a faculty statement opposing theenactment of Lend-Lease legislation.The paper appeared in the Daily Ma¬roon for February 4, 1941, and wassigned by 106 University professorsand instructors.“A Progressive in Wisconsin and aDemocrat in any other state, I havebeen unable to either affiliate withAmerica First or become a Roosevelt-hater,” Sharp said yesterday as hewas being interviewed preparatory tothis afternoon’s speech.

Though many organi¬zations will undoubtedly register be¬fore the end of the year, according tothe Dean’s office, the rate of registra¬tion is slower at the moment withonly 80 groups, excluding fraternities,on the college files.Formerly note-worthy names, suchas “The Circle’’ and “The CommunistClub,” have failed to reappear on theofficial lists in Cobb 203.Among the politically inclined or¬ganizations, the Socialist Club, theAmerican Student Union, and Avu-^h, are registered. The perennial Stu-deJrt"'*^Wum is listed, but PoliticalUnion bring in its card.Trend Among New GroupsThe new groups include, “Trend,”the new literary magazine, “The Stu¬dent Committee For Douglas for U.S.Senator,” “Keystone,” the non-clubwomen’s organization, the “CinemaAlliance,” a motion picture club, andthe “University of Chicago’s StudentCommittee for British War Relief.”The lone title on the present listwhich states a primary interest in“peace between nations” is the localchapter of the “Y o u t h CommitteeAgainst War.”Hutchins—(Continued from page one)“We’ll just have to cut costs asmuch as we can here and there, butthen we’re experts at that having doneit for the past 10 or 11 years,” he re¬plied in answer to a question as to apossible retrenchment.“The returns of the Fiftieth Anni¬versary drive were up to expectationsbut not my hopes.

Wally Hebert. . . head of V-MsG—ingSPORTSWith W’ERNER BAUMSports EditorOn BasketballThe football season is drawing itslast breath. Competition in theWestern Conference has already ceas¬ed and with this move, sports empha¬sis moves to basketball.The University of Chicago canlook forward to a season in which itstands to lose nothing and gain every¬thing. In the past two years wehave been able to garner but a singleconference victory.Our team has also been riddled byineligibility. McMahon, Shaver andJorgensen will not be wearing theMaroon this year. Chuck Wagenburgwill be playing practically all of theconference games but will not com¬pete during the practice season or ihthe opening game with Purdue. Wemust face the season with the ideathat this is water under the dam.«Squad Has SpiritThis year’s squad has spirit, sadlylacking last season. This one elementalone should spur the squad on toseveral victories. It is up to the stu¬dent body to remember, however, thatit is their task to see that this spiritis kept alive. With no football at theschool, all the “Joe College” elementpresent in the students should bebrought out during the hard-floor sea¬son.The policy here, unlike that at otherschools, is to charge the students noadmission. There is no excuse for notcheering the team on during the fewweeks that it competes.Feeling of UnityAnother element found in thisyear’s aggregation, is a feeling of teamunity. Some of the boys last seasonfelt that one man was taking toomany shots at the bucket. This con¬dition will not exist this year andteam play will rule the floor at alltimes.Ability Is Being HiddenOnly sore spot in the entire set-upis the fact that there are men oncampus who have outstanding basket¬ball ability but do not put it to usefor the Universty. Were this condi¬tion to be remedied, the relativelymediocre ability of the players them¬selves might be impoved.Acting Captain Jack Fons hassaid: “We may, just may lead the sec¬ond division this year.” This woulddo much to restore the University inmany eyes. The boys on the team aredoing their part. The least we cando is get together and do our share.Read TheDaily MaroonWWWWWWW^AWVWWW^ Schools EnterGym Sport. /Western Conference gymnasticscompetition, formerly limited to fourteams, will be conducted on a six-team basis this year due to the addi¬tion of Purdue and Indiana to Illi¬nois, Chicago, Minnesota and Iowa.Purdue will enter competition on aninformal basis.

Nelson,Ed Nelson. . . meet the athlete In response to a challenge sent outby alumni Herb Strauss and LoyalTingley, Coach Hermanson has sched¬uled a fencing meet between thevarsity and the alumni for this Sat¬urday evening. The meet is to beheld in the Bartlett fencing room at 8.Among the alumni competingagainst the varsity. Big Ten cham¬pions, will be Tingley, former nationalepee champion; Strauss, former BigTen foil champion, and Joe Molkup,last year’s Big Ten saber champion.The meet will be open to the publicand there will be no charge.Ione of this year’s leading basketballcontenders, insists that the Chicagoathlete has quite an advantage overthe average college athlete in asmuch as he is physically capable andmentally superior in his major field.Long Shot SpecialistNelson began his basketball careerwhile a student at Chicago’s LaneTechnical High School under the di¬rection of Coach Roy Umbright whois chairman of the Basketball Coachesof the Chicago Public High Schools,and a natioual authority on the game.Ed’s specialty is his uncanny abilityto make long shots good. His effi¬ciency in this line was developedlargely through his experience in highschool when most of the squad wereto dribble the ball to Nelson who thentried for baskets. That he was suc¬cessful in that specialty is attestedto by the fact that the team of whichhe was captain were Chicago CityChampions in 1939.Thinks Team Will Be FastCommenting on the Maroon squadfor the coming series this winter. Nel¬son believes the team to be speedy inoffense, but will have to be excessivelyflashy to make up for defense thatseems to be below par at the presenttime.Has Fine RecordFor the benefit of those whostrongly insist that study schedulesat the University take up more timethan can be allowed to athletic pur¬suits, Nelson’s record may serve tooffset that theory. Nelson, who ismajoring in Economics, was the onlysophomore to receive a major letterin basketball competition last year,and is also the past president of Skulland Crescent, honorary sophomore 1society; present secretary of Iron |Mask, junior honorary society; amember of the Freshman Orienta¬tion Committee; member of Phi Kap¬pa Psi fraternity, and has maintaineda University Honor scholarship.Basketeers InLong SessionExpressing much dissatisfactionwith the guarding and the not toospirited manner in which his charg¬es followed up their shots. Coach NelsNorgren sent his cagers through aspirited two and a half hour scrim¬mage yesterday.During the first part of the prac¬tice the varsity was squared offagainst the freshmen, but toward thelatter part Norgren divided the squadinto two teams, red and white, andthen the fun began. Against the firstyear men the varsity showed a not toosmooth mode of play, but as soon asthe freshmen were shooed off the floorthings pepped up noticeably, with bothteams exhibiting fighting spirit. Fonsand Hussum respectively were thespark plugs of the white and red fives,while freshman Ellman gives promiseof great things to come The Reynold’s Club, haunt of thechess enthusiasts on the Quadranglesoffers a new interest for followers ofthe sport.
