It’s Up To YouDoes the campus want a Cap andGown this year? Whether or not theforty-second issue of Cap and Gownis to appear next June depends on thesupport the students give the sub¬scription drive which the staff issponsoring this week.If 500 subscriptions are not obtain¬ed by Friday, the plan for this year’sbook will be canceled. The reasonswhich the Editor Charlotte Ford andPublisher Alan Graves give for thedrive are all related to the war andthe rising cost of production. Withthe increase in the price of paper andprinting, they feel that further workon the book is futile unless they havedefinite assurance that the campuswill be behind them.Another reason which the editors Alan Graves give for the drive is the growing num¬ber of seniors leaving school beforegraduation. In the past seniors havebeen among the principal supportersof Cap and Gown but this year theirinterest has been mediocre.Fraternities also, have not giventheir usual backing to the publicationthis year and a special drive will bemade to obtain their support. Clubsand some of the other campu» organ¬izations have, however, promised theiraid.An average of 100 subscriptions aday must be taken in at the boothswhich Cap and Gown is setting up inMandel and Cobb. If the goal is notreached, there will be no second drive,the editors warn, and Cap and Gown,’42, will be a mythical book.Vol. 42. No. 48 Z-149 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO. TUESDAY. JANUARY 13. 1942 Three CentsDefenseSurveyOfferedTo train people interested in actingas the supervisory and administrativepersonnel of the civilian defense sys¬tem and especially for the master in¬structors who may be responsible fortraining this personnel a specializedCivilian Defense Survey Course willbe given by Albert Lepawsky January15, 22, and 29, in Kent from 7 to9:;}0.The In.stitute of Military Studies,sponsoring the course, has picked 25students, representing each dormitoryand fraternity house, to enroll. Thesestudents would be in complete chargeof their halls or houses in the eventof a blackout. The course will teachthem what to do in such a case andalso how to teach their fellow resi¬dents.In the first lecture Lepawsky, Di¬rector of the Institute of Public Serv¬ice at the University, will discuss“The Organization and Administra¬tion of Civilian Defense,” includingthe military role of civilian defense,and the organization of wardens andother personnel.“Protective and Utility Services ofCivilian Defense,” covering the actualpractical manifestations of civiliandefense operations in blackouts willcompose the second lecture. The thirdwill deal with “Social Service andCivilian Defense,” which treats theregistration, evacuation, shelter, andgeneral welfare of civilians during at¬tack.Although the course is free, enroll¬ment will be limited to 400 and ad¬mission will be by ticket only.

Duringthis time he faced problems of civiliandefense during the mass bombings ofLondon in the Battle of Britain. University AnnouncesCompleted PhysicalPreparedness ProgramThe University yesterday announced completed plans for the“Physical Preparedness Program for Men”. A special announce¬ment issued by the Athletic Department states: “Representativesof various governmental agencies, including the Army and theNavy, have requested that schools, colleges, and various civilianagencies broaden and step up their physical education and athleticprograms in order that time may be saved in basic military train¬ing.“Many universities are inaugurating universal physicalactivity requirements affecting allmen students. The University of Chi¬cago would prefer to accomplish thesame end* by voluntary participationrather than by a requirement. Theadministration and the department ofphysical education urge most strong¬ly that all students, faculty and em¬ployees consider it a patriotic duty tomake themselves and keep themselvesfit as possible for whatever they maybe called upon to do.”To achieve this end, every manwhose health status places no re¬striction on his taking vigorous ex¬ercise is urged;1. To take the test of physical fit¬ ness offered by the department ofphysical education. This test is madeup of items selected from the Army,Navy, and Air Corps tests.2. To spend a minimum of one hourdaily in vigorous exercise of a typeliis fitness test indicates desirable.3. To repeat the physical fitnesstest at the beginning of every quar¬ter and adjust his exercise programto its findings.Every man, regardless of his healthstatus, is urged:1. To protect his health and im¬prove his condition by securing ade¬quate sleep, food and recreation.(Continued on page four)Maroon To PublishOnly Twice A Week'IBecause the students can spend their time more profitably in some typeof war work the Maroon will henceforth be published on Tuesdays andThursdays for the duration of the war instead of the ordinary four-dayschedule. Board Chairman Dick Himmel announced yesterday.Since reporters spend on an average of three hours a day working forthe paper, the board decided that the transfer of six hours a week to civiliandefense work or to aid in speeding up graduation was practically essential.Another reason, and one which is affecting college publications through¬out the country is the cessation of most of the national advertising whichmakes up a great part of the revenue of college papers.In announcing the decision, Himmel gleefully reported that the DailyNorthwestern, a “more profitable paper than ours,” is publishing daily onlyevery third week, skipping the intervening two weeks completely.The war has also inflicted, directly or indirectly, a staff shortage. StuartSchulberg, editorial associate, has assumed a position on the WashingtonHerald, having given up the idea he would be able to graduate because hewas a sophomore. A like reason forced Marshall Pattullo, another editorialassociate, to take a job as copy boy with City News Bureau.Himmel’s position in the Institute of Military Training is taking upmuch of his time. Jim Burtle and Bob Reynolds, other two board members,are trying to speed up their graduation time. \Basic Military CoursesTo Start This WeekPre-Service Military Training Courses open Wednesday and Fridaynights respectively with each including the 500-man quotas, and the sixspecialized training courses open next week.The specialized courses afe open only to members of the Basic MilitaryTraining Course. Trainees are permitted to take one of these each quarterin addition to the Rifle Markmanship Course. Because of the intensive natureof the work no absences will be permitted.Taught by Norman Maclean, Assistant Professor of English, who hasrevolutionized the teaching of the subject. Rifle Marksmanship Qualification,will be given in four sessions, once a week for four consecutive weeks withthe time to be announced. The fee is $3.5.0.Fundamentals of Electronic Devices begins Monday, 7-10 in 276Ryerson under Robert J. Moor, Instructor in Physics. The fee is $5.Beginning Thursday, January 22, Mathematics Basic to Military Servicewill be given in Eckhart 206 by Ralph G. Snager, Assistant Professor ofMathematics, and Reginald S. Stephenson, Assistant Professor of Physics,for a $5 fee, 7-9:30.Map and Ariel Photograph Reading under Edward B. Espenshade, Jr.,Instructor in Geography, begins Monday in Rosenwald 27 with the hoursfrom 7-9:30 and a $5 fee.Earl A. Evans, Jr., Acting Chairman of the Department of Bio-chemis-try, and Joseph J. Ceithaml, Research Assistant in Biochemistry, are con¬ducting the course in Hospital Techniques starting Monday from 7-9:30 in101 Abbott. There is a $5 fee and a similar laboratory fee.The sixth course is one in Military Medical Hygiene given by Ralph M.Buchsbaum, Assistant Professor of Zoology in the College, and Staff, in 133Abbott, beginning Thursday, January 22, from 7:30-9:30.Kelly Hall Employs StudentsTo Counteract Labor ShortageDue to the difficulty in gettingtrained domestic help, Mrs. EvelynDrake announced yesterday that stu¬dent labor is being employed in KellyHall, as an experiment this quarter.Four stuclents, residents of Kelly Hall,are waiting on table twenty sevenhours a week at the same wages givenin the men’s dorms. “Trained women are hard to findnow’, due to factory openings andhigher wages,” said Mrs. Drake, “andsince the girls showed a willingnessto help out, the jobs were given them.”Mrs. Drake said nothing about extend¬ing the policy to the other women’shalls in the near .future.Page Two THE DAILY MAROON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 13. 1942Physical DevelopmentAnd Military TrainingWe favor a physical development program as part of themilitary training program. As part of military training physicaldevelopment should be administered under the military program.The whole military training program including physical develop¬ment should be under one responsible authority.The physical development aspects of military training shouldnot be administered separately under the athletic department.Such separate administration would result in confusion, waste,and duplication. Just as members of other departments of the uni¬versity have helped the Basic Military Training program withspecialized knowledge, so the athletic department can help thebasic military program. But the members of the athletic depart¬ment in their work with the basic military program should besubordinate to one authority over the basic military program.Prepare for ArmyThe students are interested in a physical development pro¬gram as part of the basic military program. They are interestedin physical development insofar as it helps to prepare them forarmy life. The sponsors of the basic military program said thatthey would prepare men for army life. If the basic military train¬ing is not preparing men physically for army life, then the basicmilitary training program should include more physical training.In giving this training the members of the athletic department candoubtless be of invaluable service, but they should serve the de¬fense program as part of the basic military training course; notby setting up a separate training program of their own.No Social PressureThe whole basic military training program, including physicaldevelopment, should not be enforced by social pressure. The ath¬letic department made a tremendous mistake in setting up aphysical development program separate in administration from thebasic military training program and then in trying to enforce thatprogram by social pressure. They should have offered to cooperatewith the basis military training program. They are wrong in tryingto force students to take the physical development program whennot even the basic military training program has resorted to socialpressure to secure wider student participation.The students have seen the value of basic military training.They enrolled in the basic Military Training course in largeenough numbers to make any form of compulsion a matter ofminor concern. On the other hand, the students are apathetictoward the separate program of the athletic department. They seethe dangers of using “social pressure” at this time. They areamused by the prospects of wearing badges of physical fitness.They want to get their army training under the military trainingprogram. They do not want two different authorities telling themwhat is the right way to prepare for army life.Make Military CompulsoryWe favor making the military training course compulsory.We favor making physical development a compulsory part of themilitary training course. We urge the athletic department to dropits social pressure plans, before it looks increasingly foolish. Weurge the athletic department to offer its services to the basicmilitary course to help remedy any deficiencies in physical train¬ing that the basic military course may now have. We think thephysical fitness tests devised by the athletic department couldvery well be used in the basic military training program with thecooperation of the athletic department.Function of UniversitySome of our friends have warned against making the military'training compulsory because the function of a university is todevelop the intellectual, not the military, powers of its students.We agree that intellectual development is the function of a uni¬versity. But in a time of emergency a university has responsi¬bilities that go beyond carrying out its function. People go to auniversity to get intellectual development. People cannot easilybe at a university and get military training unless the universityprovides facilities for military training. It is the duty of everyorganization to help win the war. The university should thereforeprovide facilities for military training and military research tohelp win the war.Unified ProgramBut the military training at the university should be a unifiedprogram; it should not be a program administered under the sep¬arate jurisdiction of several departments. Such an administrativeorganization would result in tremendous waste from duplication,lack of coordination, and confusion of purpose. We should give all-out support to the military training program but we should paylittle attention to the social pressure program of the athletic de¬partment. The program of the athletic department is wrong inusing social pressure and wrong in competing with the basicmilitary training course.J. B. Hang Allied FlagsFor Winter C DanceAftermath . . .... of the Reynolds Club's WinterC-dance following the basketball gameSaturday night was the phone callto the Maroon office yesterday askingwho was in charge of the decorationsbecause the Red Cross wanted itsflags back.The dance was better than ordin¬ary basketball dances, with the or¬chestra providing quite a little varietyin its music. It was well-attended butnot too crowded for comfort. Amongthe various dancers were CourtneyShanken, Elizabeth Wallerstein, DaveZimmerman fresh from his fine bas¬ketball performance and Betty Baron,Norton Gmsburg with Peggy Leibo-witz, and Eddie Miller with EstherSager.Those who weren't at the danceflocked down to the U-T. The crack¬down on Hanley's hasn't hurt theU-T one bitp as many have trans¬ferred their affections. The cold weath¬er doesn't hurt either.'Good Ones" is . . .. . . one of the more obscure butcommendable organizations on cam¬pus. Its purpose is the perpetuationof good quips, mostly those whichhave resisted the ravages of time.A conversation between members goessomething like this:“Did you take a bath last night?"‘No, is one missing?"“The garbage man is outside." “Tellhim we don’t want any."“Is the doctor in?" “No, he's out'to lunch." “Will he be in after lunch?"“No, that’s what he went out after.”Three “good ones" are necessaryfor admittance to the club."SPUI" is another. . .. . . organization in the same class.The initials stand for the Society forthe Preservation of Useless Informa¬tion. Six SPUI facts are needed forjoining.Leading exponents of the two typesof information needed for these clubsare John Thomson, Roy Larson, JimRowe, and Don Marrow.Thomson, incidentally, made him¬self immortal with a bit of action inthe U-T Saturday night. A shoe-shineboy was making the rounds as omni¬present shoeshine boys are usually do¬ing and finally worked his way toThomson. Being asked if he wanteda shine, Johyinie brandished a be-stockinged foot in the boy’s face andreplied, “I’ve given up wearing them."The shock on the boy's face was amaz¬ing.The Alpha Delts . . .. . . had a party Saturday night, too,which was closed and, therefore, forpurposes of this column a little ob¬scure.

He was recommendedfor Officers’ Training School and hadto take some oral examinations. Choos¬ing English and Histo)-y as his fieldsupon which he wished to be examined,he was asked by the first officer be¬fore whom he appeared, “What hap¬pened in 1052?” Keast thereuponlaunched into a scholarly discussionA Critic h Born—Philip RieffDiscusses Shakespearean DramaBy PHILIP RIEFFIt is probably a shame that I mustbegin my career as a drama critic byclimbing into the ring against achamp that has been getting the nodft'om the' referees for over threehundred years. But, though I wouldprefer to start easy, facing not-so-tough trial horses of the CliffordOdets or William Saroyan category,my unshakeable honesty behooves meto take on the top man, W. Shake¬speare, in my first bout with anyplaywright; in any weight class.There is, however, one advantage insquaring off against Shakespearefirst. For if I knock him off, I havedone something that critics since thetime of Robert Greene have failedto do. With Shakespeare out of theway, a drama critic 1^518 smooth edito¬rial sledding against second-ratersfrom Shakespeare’s Marlowe to Fin¬land’s now abdicated Robert Sher¬wood.All of this left-hand leading, andflashy shadow boxing, is just settingyou readers up for the kill; for thepunch line, which reads, “Rieff is tak¬ing Shakespeare 141 with Mr. Daiches,and Rieff has quickly concluded thatthe reign of Mr. S. as King of Eng¬lish theatricals is ended.”Like all good title-holders, theStratford-on-the-Avon boy is stillable to keep the customers happy, buthis weak spot, now, is his lack oftwentieth century technique. Again, a novice in the literary crit¬icism game, I find that W.S. is greatpoetry, and, as I expected, great char¬acterization. That is the trouble. Ifanything, Shakespeare’s people aretoo perfect; almost unwordly in theirown literary ability.A sucker for eloquence, I can onlymarvel at the disgusting literary qual¬ity of Shakespearean characters.Their lofty speeches; their prompt,(Continued on page three) Four Foster WomenForm Club du Joieon the forces leading up to the Kor-man Conquest in 1066. “Oh, the Norman Conquest of 1066, that’s what /meant to ask you,", was the unflus-tered remark of the officer.Upon hearing that he was a Vni-versity instructor, another officer ask¬ed Keast if he had much trouble withco-eds.

The world’s great uni¬versities responded full force. Tre¬mendous shipping cases, meticulouslypacked, and carefully insured, beganto arrive at the President’s office.From such far-flung corners of Eng¬land as Oxford and Cambridge, fromAppleton, Wisconsin, and Milwaukee,Wisconsin, from the depths of Mich¬igan, and from the rolling hills ofOhio there rolled a never-endingstream of packing cases, long, thin,packing cases such as are used for thetranscontinental shipment of frozenperch.When the boxes were opened, thereshone out from the cotton and excel¬sior-filled interiors magnificent docu¬ments, greeting the University on itsbirthday.

Dick Gordon, of the Chi¬cago Daily News, said, “as expectedDutch Lonberg (the NorthwesternCoach) was able to use his reservesa good bit against Chicago and if he’dkept his first string in all the wayand had Otto Graham go all out inhis shooting, there is no telling whatthe score might have been.’’“As it was,” Reporter Gordon con¬tinues, “the ’Cat? won 69-50 withGraham holding his league scoring lead by totalling 22 points, 20 of ’emcoming in the first half before heelected to feed his teammates for mostof the time thereafter.”Gordon said that, and the Sun Storysaid what is substantially the samething.But I would present some evidencefor the humble Maroons, for a change.YES, Northwestern DID equal theWestern conference scoring mark, andYES the game marked up a NEWRECORD for points in a single con¬test. BUT, the Maroons had somethingto do with the total of 119 points,and, under the hosannas for the Wild¬cat backfield that also makes with abasketball, the MAROONS SCORED50 (fifty) POINTS. The Northwesternfive won the game, although I do notagree with the implication that theycould have run up 169 tallies at will.The more wonderful, and unique,event at the Northwestern game wasthe sight of the Maroons’ owning 50i points. As one Chicago man said,I “that’s god-damn good...isn’t it boys.” The Maroons have proved thatthey can, and will, make points. That50 total is only eight less than Nor-gren’s men hfiVe accounted for in twoprevious Conference tilts.Graham is a big, wonderful man;as are most of the Wildcats, includingFullback George Benson, who wassent off to the air-force with picturesand nostalgia by every sport page inChicago at the time of the All-Star jfootball game. He played in the Ma¬roon game. Another wondrous sight was theoffensive display by George Siska,Dave Zimmerman, and other sup¬posedly impotent reserves. Zimmer¬man, the smallest man on the floorwas guarded by bemoath Don Claw¬son, the Cats regular fullback in bothfootball and basketball, and Clawsonhad to be careful not to smother theaggressive Zimmerman. Once thatrolling Evanston freight train movesit doesn’t stop unless hit by BernieBierman’s Minnesota eleven.WRESTLERS WIN TWO MEETSSpending the week-end in profitabletravel, the University of Chicagowrestling squad defeated the IllinoisNormal College team 17-13 last Sat¬urday afternoon at the Normal gym.Not content with a victory a day,they then kept an engagement withBradley Tech at Peoria, Illinois andwith no criterion of mercy beat them21-13 in the evening.Bob Humphreville’s defeat of Brad¬ley’s star wrestler.

At Normal, he entered thej ring with the score 14-13 in Chicago’sj favor. The meet depended upon his ] bout. Fortunately he outclassed theNormal lad and won by a decision.Mustain was in for a more hectic ex-I perience at Bradley.
