StudentFeelingSeriousAt first reported to be a “what thehell” attitude, feeling regarding thewar and student participation took amore serious turn yesterday as menfrom all parts of the Quadranglesstopped joking and stai’ted consid¬ering.As far as could be ascertained bythe Maroon, most seniors will try des¬perately to remain in college in thehope of getting a degree before theyare eventually called. However, itwas also apparent that many students21 and over who had previously ob¬tained deferments to finish out theiryear, have now been notified that theyare subject to immediate call.Feeling among juniors and sopho¬mores varried according to war en¬thusiasm and personal opinion. Itwas learned however that quite a fewsecond- and third-year men are con¬sidering enlisting since they have lit¬tle chance of graduating anyway,especially in view of the proposedlowering of the draft age to 18.But as men all over the campuschecked and re-checked their draftstatus, one thing was certain. Due totremendously increased interest in thearmy, a wave of registrations for theField House C.M.T.C. course is aboutto roll over the Quadrangles. Almostevery man questioned yesterday, fromfreshmen to seniors, announced thatthey consider the course the most ob¬vious and best training for non-drafted citizens of a nation at war.Maurice SamuelMaurice Samuel, translator of “TheNazarene” arid eminent Jewish lead¬er, comes to the University Wednes¬day night at 8 at International Houseauditorium as the first of HillelFoundation's series of lecturers. Hewill discuss “The Great Hatred” whichis an analysis of the anti-Semiticproblem in the modeim world.Written in 19ItO, “The Great Ha¬tred” brought Samuel great acclaimin religious and literar-y circles, andsold in three editions. “The book is agreat deal more than a refutation ofanti-Semitism;” Thomas Mann wrotein review, “for, in exposing the lat¬ter as a concealed form of enmity toChristianity itself, it takes on a muchwider significance, and becomes a valu¬able iveapon for everyone concernedwith defending the foundations ofour western, Christian moralityagainst the ba.sest, most brutal, andmost treacherous attack to which theyhave ever been subjected.”As a distinguished translator ofYiddish and Hebrew masterpieces,Maurice Samuel is best known for thework he did in Sholem Asch’s “TheNazarene." He has contributed a ser¬ies of original studies which include“I, the Jew,” “What Happened in Pal¬estine,” and his latest, “The GreatHatred.” Edilcated in English andFrench universities, he has traveledextensively and lectured throughoutthe United States.Tickets for Wednesday's lecture are55 cents, tax included.

DECEMBER 9, 1941 Five Cents' Merchant of Venice'Opens Five NightRun Tonight War ViewsToday—Hutchins“The Merchant of Venice” opens inthe Reynolds Club Theatre for a fivenight run, tonight at 8:30, with new¬comers to the D.A. playing the threemain male parts: Shylock (MarvinSholtz), Antonio (Dominic Pizzuti),and Bassanio (Peter Dornan).The playing time of the Merchant ofVenice, which ordinarily runs to some-Maroon Board of Controlmembers who have long bask¬ed in the belief that Chicagofaculty men take the Maroonseriously, got a jolt last night.No longer will proud Ma-roonmen be able to point withpride to our large faculty cir¬culation and mention it is anindication of the Maroon’scapable handling of studentnews and opinion.Deliverer of this blow to theMaroon’s ego is Richard P.McKeon, Dean of Humani¬ties. On a check mailed in tothe offices today, renewing hissubscription, the Dean filled inthe “for” line with an uglyword. A deflated Maroon staffread it. It said “gossip.” thing over three hours, has been cutdown by having as little scenery-mov¬ing as possible. The scenery, designedby Frazier Rippy, is simple and im¬pressionistic, and the action movesback from in front of the prosceniumto the full depth of the ^tage. Mostof the scenes take place in Venice,where a backdrop suggesting the cityis used and the,action, picked cut byspotlights, is now in front of the cur¬tain, in the city, now on the stepsleading down from the stage, now overat the side, at the door to Shylock’shouse. Behind this curtain of the cityof Venice are the interior scenes, andbehind them again, a scene out ofdoors at night.Grace Farjeon, who plays the wiseand tender Portia, is a D.A. veteran,and so, comparatively is Portia’s maidNerissa, Anne-Marie Gayer. The otherwoman in the cast, Jessica, is playedby newcomer Sue Pfaelzer. Somemembers of the cast double in smallerroles, like Frazier Rippy, who is boththe Duke and I..auncelot Gobbo, andLenny Turovlin, who is sometimesStephano and sometimes Tubal. . . . takes thought—President Robert Hutchins declinedto make any comment to the Maroonlast night on the war, declaring thathe would prepare a statement whichhe would release today “if I havetime.”President Hutchins said that heneeded time to think the thing out asit was not a subject on which onecould “spout off, if you know w'hat Imean. This takes a lot of thought.”Int.

Theyhave been forbidden to leave the cityor to send telegrams and they cannot draw money from the bank. How¬ever, as a precautionary measure, theJapanese students have been askedto stay in their rooms while not inclass.Besides the two Japanese studentsthere are six members of Interna¬tional House of Japanese extration.All are American citizens, two havingbeen born in California and four inHawaii, and they are not included inthe regulations for native Japanese.TerraquaTerraqua will sponsor a ski meet¬ing in Ida Noyes Hall tomorrownight at 7:30.

Money BlocksBuilding PlanUnder the pressure of an increas¬ingly difficult library space problem,the Board of Libraries has unani¬mously approved a compromise plancalling for the erection of under¬ground stacks beneath the court infront of Harper and a proposal for amap library and geography building.According to MeKendree L. Raney,Director of University Libraries, theseadditions would, 1) solve the seriouslibrary problem for ten years to come,and 2) house what Raney calls “thesecond largest map collection outsideof Washington.”The only remaining impediment, al¬though it is a $1,945,000 impedimentat that, is one of securing financialsupport for both projects.No Cover,No Mi nimumBy DICK HIM MEL(Ed. Note: This is the first of a se¬ries of daily columns by Dick Himmel.The opinions expressed in these col¬umns belong only to Mr. Himmel.)The campus remained comparativelycalm with the war news running ageneral riot in the world at large, butthen for the great part this is a cam¬pus of compai’ative calm. The CoffeeShop retained its Monday desolate air.The Mortar Boards were peaceablysitting at a round table writing aBazaar and lights were going out alloVer the world and the coffee shopwas getting a little darker only theMortar Boards didn’t notice.The only noticeable rush was intaking advantage of the University’sInstitute of Military Studies’ basictraining course. You know, that coursehas been functioning in the Fieldhousefor over a year with the student en¬rollment at a low ebb. The reasonseems to have been that nobody knewquite what its function is.Now, when there is an overwhelm¬ing need for the course it is thereand it is high time it received a little clarification. The course meets threehours each week in the Fieldhouse. Itteaches the rudiments of militarydrill. It encompasses the same groundtaught in two years of college ROTC.In With R.O.T.C. MenThe point then is absolutely this.When a University of Chicago manhies himself and his degree to thearmy he’s going to be next to anotherguy with a college degree plus twoyears of ROTC under his belt. Thearmy works fast. When they see twomen sprawled on the ground withrifles in hand, the guy with ROTC di¬gested will know what to do with therifle. The Chicago man will look atthe rifle. Admire the workmanshipof it. Give it the critical eye, butmostly he won’t know what the hellto do with it.The army sees only one thing. Oneguy knows what to do in the army.The other guy doesn’t.

TUESDAY. DECEMBER 9, 1941Let's KeepOur HeadsOur natural enthusiasm tobeat the Japanese may become aform of hysteria. We do notwant to confuse a people andtheir government. We would bethe last ones to deny that theJapanese military clique is guiltyof one of the blackest, mosttreacherous acts in all history.The Japanese people may have ashare in the responsibility forthis aggression. But it is a tre¬mendous over-simplification tocall the Japanese people all“devils.”No ExcuseThere is no excuse for throw¬ing bricks through the windowsof Japanese stores or in beatingJapanese people in America,many of whom are as loyal toour government as any of the, DAR.

Unequivocably. Wetrace its outline from the headlinesand reactions. For some of us itmeans blind rage. For some it leavesa hole inside and brings a “hell!” tothe lips. But no matter the individualattitude, the answer adds up to theonly possible reply. OK. By BILL LETWTNStephen Leacock some years ago wrote a funny story. A meticulous so¬cial scientist, he decided to investigate the humor involved. Upon completinghis dissection he found that his story was indeed funny. So elated was hewith this scientific proof that he has been writing the same story ever since.That is Mr. Leacock’s history. That is decidedly not E. B. White’s.E. B. White has been writing funny stuff for a long time now, and ifhe’s ever stopped to analyze it, the bad news has not become public. As aresult. White has gone on all this time,never tickling the same rib twice.Where Leacock is stuck up to his manuscripts, White has his feet ratherknees (perhaps head first) in his own firmly on the ground. White has fre¬quently written about what happenedyesterday, or today: witness his littlepoems, “I Paint What I See,” and“Harper to Mifflin to Chance”;-.andhis column “Notes and Comments” inthe first twelve volumes of the NewYorker.High Grade HumorAll this comes out vividly in Whiteand K. S. White’s (“hereafter to beknown as my wife”). Subtreasury ofAmerican Humor. The selection ismade up of humor of a high grade oftalent and originality. Not everyAmerican humorist got into the work,but White admits that the editor’spreference was arbitrary. The readeris saved an apology for the omissionof the “Sweet Singer of Michigan,” orJosh Billings’ third cousin. There isadequate chronological and geograph¬ical coverage, but twentieth centuryNew Yorkers enjoy a certain prefer¬ence.No Great WritingOne is surprised to see so muchgood writing without any great writ¬ing, Aspiring wags will experience,on reading this book, the same nos¬talgia that must have affected MillardFillmore when the schoolboy’s firstforgot the name of the nation’s thir¬teenth president—long before his termwas over. The display will eventuallylead critics to conclude that a 2000word wisecrack is essentially as super¬ficial as its little brother. If the Sub¬treasury is representative of the Mint,then the prevailing American form isthe quip, the fast answer. That is toobad. Humor can be great; Shakespeareseldom failed in his comedies to in¬dicate the close relation between thehumorous and the pathetic. Lorenzo’slaugh is Shylock’s sigh. Cervantesknew this, Daudet knew this, andLardner said it with such vigor thatfor a long time people didn’t thinkhe was funny. But don’t let theoreticalconsiderations bother you. Though theAmerican humorists are not destinedfor greatness, their humor is,, designedfor amusement. Take a deep breath,prepare to laugh, open “A Subtreasuryof American Humor”.(Coward McCann, New York, $S.OO).Now we’ll turn thumbs up.

MacNair, Professor of FarEastern History and Institutions yes¬terday termed such mass outbursts•footless and half-baked.”MacNair, who has spent many yearsin the Orient and is considered an ex¬pert on Far Eastern affairs, said at thesame time that it is “much more dig¬nified to leave the Japanese alone.”.American CaptivesAs to the treatment accorded thoseunf9rtunate Americans who havefalUm into Nipponese hands in China,MacNair was optimistic. “It is notlikely,” he said, “that they’ll be mis¬treated.

Dean Brumbaugh replied,“I’m not sure.” He did think, how¬ever, that they could assist in enlist¬ment.He maintained that the “business asusual” attitude should be followed.“It may seem futile to continue tostudy, but in the long run it will befor the best. It was the same in thelast war,” he declared.Defense Position BestDiscussing the war in its generalaspects. Dean Brumbaugh exclaimed,“I’m not a military analyst, but Ithink it would be better to assume adefensive position and have a completeblockade and let Japan wear itselfout economically. Experts have saidJapan is in a bad way. I know a per¬sonal friend of ours who just returnedfrom that country said that countryhas an insufficient amount of leatherfor shoes, and people are wearing acombination of wool and somethingelse in something like a sock.”Yntema Advises To PayFor Defense Bills Now“Serious inflation can be avoidedonly by paying for defense now,”stated Theodore Yntema, Universitystatistics professor, at a meeting ofthe Citizens Board at the ChicagoClub last week. The Board, to whichYntema spoke, is composed of threehundred of the leading citizens ofChicago and was largely instrumentalin raising the recent Fiftieth Anni¬versary Fund of six million dollars.Permanent Featurei In opening the meeting. Presidentj Hutchins announced that the Uni-! versity had decided to make the Boarda permanent feature of its organiza¬tion. Mr. George A. Ranney, chair¬man, has agreed to continue in thatcapacity, and Mr. Bernard E. Sunnyand Mr. Thomas Donnelly have agreedto remain as honorary chairmen. ^The board, as such.

MilderBetter-Tasting...that's whyChesterfieldBasketballers VictoriousIn Opening Game With I.I.T.Prepare ForLoyola TiltBy PHIL RIEFFOpening the 1941-42 basketball sea¬son in smart, aggressive fashion, NelsNorgren’s “new deal” Maroons woredown a persistent Illinois Tech five,by a 43-29 count in the FieldhouseSaturday. •It took the Maroon quintet threeminutes and ten seconds to put thescore-board to some utility, when Cap¬tain Jack Fons followed up one of EdNelson’s long shot attempts for twopoints. Little less than half the gamepassed before the Midway-men con¬structed a seven point lead, and thehalf ended with the host ahead, 20-13.Shorts and LongsWarming up to their initial inter¬collegiate task in the remaining halfof the tilt, the Maroons poured in abewildering assortment of shorts andlongs with eleven minutes of playingtime still on the clock. The Techawks,less accurate on the offense and usinga scattered sort of a defense, creptwithin three points of Chicago almostas soon as the second half stalled,with Howard Pendlebury, Tech for¬ward, and Warren Sommers, theTechawk high scorer, bringing thetabulations to 20-17 in favor of theMaroons.But Jack Fons, the leading scorerfor the evening, on 14 tallies. BudLifton, t\ie Junior center, and BernieHeinen, the impressive sophomoreguard, combined to pat down theTechawk threat with a flurry of bas¬kets and an efficient floor game.Margin IncreasesThe Chicago offense, working be¬cause of the entire team rather thanone man, clicked along to a 39-28 mar¬gin as the Illinois Techmen desper¬ately tried to pull into range withonly three minutes to go. For theMaroons, Fons, Nelson, and George—fcrakowka carried the brunt of theoffensive load, with Siska and Lifton,both acting as the third forward orguard, showing definite competitivestrength and ability.Of the new performers, the efficient Ed NelsonBernie Heinen delivered in first-stringstyle, with Bob Oakley, Danny Fogle,and Dave Zimmerman showing them¬selves able to take big-time basketballand dish out a little on the side.Loyola Here WednesdayHeinen, who propped at Loyola A-cademy. will get a chance to see someof Coach Lenny Sachs’ Loyola Univer¬sity pupils at first hand tomorrownight, when the Maroons square offagainst Loyola in a bigger, tougherassignment than the Illinois encoun¬ter. With giant Mike Dougherty,dangerous, red-headed Captain MickeyRottner, and ambidetrous Jack Dwanon the roster again Sachs has a muchbetter aggregation than that pesse-mistic slaver cares to admit in thepresence of anything but four blankwalls.The Ramblers, traditionally a tophardwood group, will meet a differentChicago team this season. Thoughthe personnel is largely the same, thepassionate “will to power’’ seems tohave permeated to even the unwarlikeprecincts of the Fieldhouse. O — ingSPORTSWith WERNER BAUMSports EditorSports and WarI This is about the fifth sheet of pa-: per I have shoved into this same old■ typewriter in an attempt to put somethoughts into words. It seems soj “cheap’’ to sit down and try to writeI about sports. All of a sudden so many! things seem so much more important,! so much more vital, so much closer.I Petty argument.s regularly car¬ried on on this page seem so irrele¬vant when one walks into theBartlett Trophy where one can .seethe red and gold banner inscribed:“From Waseda University to TheUniversity of Chicago,’’ and whereone can see queer yellow baseballsused in the games between Wa.sedaand Chicago.It was just thirty-one years agothis fall that the Maroon nine travel¬led to Japan to play Waseda and KeioUniversities in the first InternationalBaseball series. The Maroons wonall six games played in the Orient.Manager of the Chicago team at thattime w'as Pat Page, the immortaltwelve-“C’’ man, who played on morewinning teams than any other letter-man in Chicago history.In May 1911 the Waseda teamcame to .America for a visit, with Pat Page acting as the team’s gen¬eral manager. The Maroons wonthe lone game with the Japanese bya 6-4 score.But those days are gone. Perhapsour best i*ationalization for what w'emust think, or learn to think, in thenear future, lies in the fact that thereis a new generation in Japan. We are1 no longer dealing with the people who,although they many have beenI yellow’-skinned and slant-eyed, lefti their mark in the Bartlett TrophyRoom together with the marks left byI Eckersall, Steffen, and Berwanger.
