The extreme resonance ofRockefeller Chapel led me to pickworks that are more expressive thanintricate, and more vigorous thanswift.”Plays BachThe recital will open with the well-known Bach Prelude and Fugue in EMinor and a group of six organ pre¬ludes by the same composer. Follow¬ing this group, McCurdy will play twochorale preludes on O World I E’enMust Leave Thee by Brahms, and twoselections by Louis Vierne his Scherz-etto from iU pieces in Free Style andthe Cantabile from his Second Sym¬phony.The Tumult in Praetorium fromPaul de Maleingreau’s Passion Sym¬phony, depicting the sentencing ofChrist, will precede Karg-Elert’s Leg¬end of the Mountain. Following these,McCurdy will play Jacob’s Sunrisefrom Hours in Burgundy, and the Pur¬vis Communion. Concluding the pro¬gram will be a group by Marcel du-Press, including his In Quiet Joy, HeRemembring His Great Mercy, andGlory Be To The Father.One of Best OrgansOf the Chapel organ, McCurdy said,“I wonder how many of the studentshere realize that you have one of theworld’s best organs here on your cam¬pus. I have enjoyed playing on itvery much. And the resonance of thechapel itself sublimates and makeseven more beautiful the organ’s tone.”No admission will be charged fortonight’s concert, and it will startpromptly at 8:16.Wells ElectedU. P. PresidentLois Wells-was named president ofThe University Players last week.Other officers elected at the same timewere, Jim Siemens, secretary, andLester Schiff, treasurer.The rest of the board is made upof the various committee heads.

Bob MacDuffee will be supervis¬ing stage sets, and Dick Koenig istaking care of chapel contacts.“Shadow and Substance” will be thefirst play that the organization willgive under the guidance of the newboard. The play, which is being direct¬ed by Frank Grover, will be presentedin Mandel Hall February 6. Despite efforts by the United Statesto stimulate the fiow of Americancapital into Latin America, the move¬ment has been small and rather slug¬gish, according to Dr. J. Fred Rippy,professor of American history at theUniversity of Chicago.Writing on “South American In¬vestments and Hemisphere Defense”in the current issue of the Journalof Business, published by the Univer¬sity of Chicago Press, Dr. Rippy dis¬cussed the new institutions whichhave been set up in Washington forthe purpose of increasing Americaninvestments in Latin America.Investment Motive Changed“The Inter-American Economic andFinancial Advisory Committee and theInter-American Development Commit¬tee are already in operation,” he said.“An Inter-American Bank is beingprojected, but without success so far.All loans are being made through theReconstruction Finance Corporationand the Export-Import Bank.”The new system. Dr. Rippy contin¬ued, takes the investments out of thehands of private bankers and placesthem in the hands of the UnitedStates government. The motive for in¬vestment is not the highest immediatereturn on the capital, as it'was pre¬viously, but the welfare and securityof the hemisphere.“But the new movement of capitalinto Latin America has been smalland rather sluggish,” Dr. Rippy said.“Total loans made under the new sys¬tem probably did not amount to muchmore than 200 million dollars by themiddle of 1941.“The new capital is being em¬ployed for coinage operations, for therelease of frozen assets of citizens ofthe United States in Latin Americaand the increase of dollar exchange,for roads and public works, for com¬munications, for financing the pur¬chase of heavy transportation equip¬ment from the United States, and forthe stimulation of industrial develop¬ment.”In discussing reasons for the cur¬rent sluggishness of American invest¬ments in Latin America, Dr. Rippygave as the primary cause the coun¬try’s increasing pre-occupation withthe defeat of Germany and Japan.Feb. 1 DeadlineFor Exam Reg.Registration closes February 1 forcomprehensive examinations to begiven in the Winter Quarter, Regis¬trar E. M. Miller has announced. Stu¬dents should register at once in Cobb100.As the topic for Winter quarter theYWCA religious committee, headedj by Violet Escarraz, has chosen “Re¬ligion and the World Crisis.”Mr. W. Barnett Blakemore, a pro¬tege of Dr. Aubrey, has consented toguide the discussions for a series ofsix meetings, which will be held inthe YWCA room at 4:30 each Wed¬nesday, adjourning at 5:30 for Even¬song.A new discussion group, headed byPatricia Sommer, will hold its firstmeeting today at the home of Mrs.Truman Potter, 5748 Harper, to studythe problems of post-war peace.At this meeting John Van de Water,Executive Secretary of the ChicagoGroup, World Citizens’ Association,and Mid-West Director of the Com¬mission to Study the Organizationsof Peace, will be present to discussthe general problem as well as to ad¬vise the women on the program which “Students, faculty, and other Uni¬versity personnel will be asked soon tovolunteer a portion of their time andservices to the program of civilian de¬fense in this University,” JosephSchwab, instructor in the BiologicalSciences, declared yesterday.University Three ThingsSchwab, acting as an agent of theInstitute of Military Studies, reportedthat “the University is three things:“a part of the city, a research insti-OhioStateMeetsMaroons; Ohio63, Chicago 35/•By PHILIP RIEFFThis is written on the night of thetwenty-fourth performance of a sim¬ple, run-of-the-mill mercy killing thathas captivated audiences on everybasketball stage in the Western Con¬ference.

The planningand hard work involved is being doneby everybody else.”Student ForumStarts PlansFor DefensePlans for coordinating Student For¬um work with civilian defense activi¬ties are moving ahead rapidly. Forumdirector William Brady announcedyesterday. Webb Fiser, president ofthe group, today will see Major Ray¬mond J. Kelly, regional director ofthe Chicago Office of Civilian Defense,he said. Together they will work outdetailed arrangements on which toproceed.Previous arrangements indicatedthe cooperation will take the form ofround-tables conducted before neigh¬borhood groups and clubs, on perti¬nent defense topics. Forum will alsoattempt to get discussion sectionsstarted in the groups themselves, ifthey so desire. Topics to be discussedat these round-tables include: Post¬war Reconstruction, Rights and Re¬sponsibilities of Labor and Industryin Wartime, United States War andPeace Aims, What the Individual Cando for Civilian Defense.Today’s meeting of Forum will bea regular business meeting in Lex¬ington 5 at 3:30.

Four performanceswill be given; one each evening fromMarch 5-7 and one,on the afternoonof Saturday, March 7.Committee chairmen stand as for¬merly announced, but Virginia Nich¬ols, head of the program committee,and Janet Wagner, stage manager willboth have representatives from theBlackfriars board to assist them andtheir committees.YWCAPIotsDiscussionsFor Winter MeetingsPage Two THE DAILY MAROON. TUESDAY. JANUARY 27. 1942Sophomores LeadersUnder New BA PlanThe new Bachelor’s degree meansnew dividing points in higher educa¬tion- It means that these dividingplaces should come not only in studiesbut in student activities.Obviously most student activitieswill have to discontinue operating ona straight four year basis with mostof the leadership concentrated amongthe 4th year students. Under the newsystem the “senior year” will be mere¬ly one of the years of study leadingto the master’s degree. There is nological reason why this year shouldinclude most of the so-called big wigsin student activities. Obviously 5thyear students working on their mas¬ter’s degrees are not going to be ableto devote much time to student activ¬ities. It therefore seems to us thatthe most logical time for people tobecome responsible officers m moststudent activities is during the “soph¬omore year”. The sophomore year isthe end of general education. Duringgeneral education people are morelikely to have more outside interests.In the college, students usually needto study less than in the divisions.Students who will quit the universityafter receiving the two year bache¬lor’s degrees will have a better chanceto have an important part in activ¬ities while in school.The heads of DA, the publications.Mirror, Blackfriars, the fraternities,and others of the so-called extra-cur¬ricular activities will have to comefrom the sophomore class. This willbe inevitable.The effect of the plan will have onstudent activities themselves will beimmense. It is extremely probablethat activities after the war will tendmore and more to be functional. Thatsome sort of activities will continue toexist is self-evident. But they prob¬ably will not be present in the sameform. They will probably be similiarOscar Levant who was born inPittsburgh, came to Chicago last Fri¬day in a state of nervous agitationover making his first piano recital inthat great camera-bellows of a hall,the Civic Opera House. Coming fromthe combination recital-lecture onewas doubtful as to whether Levanthad set an inapproachable mark asa concert pianist, but there was noquestion that he had retained hisfamous sense of mockery in spite ofthe glaring barrier of foot-lights.It is useless to attempt to describeOscar Levantthe performance in its real order. Theonly continuous factors were Levantand the concert grand. Or maybe justthe concert-grand. Levant came ontothe stage fifteen minutes late, sidledover to the microphone, and dragginga large bandanna-like handkerchieffrom the folds of his tuxedo, prema¬turely wiped his brow. He smiledhalf-apologetically and wondered outloud what he should tell his audience. to those of Oxford and Cambridge.They will be on a different level.The functional aspect of student ac¬tivities is implicit in the New Plan.President Hutchins has long maintain¬ed that “Joe College” activities haveno place on the quadrangles. TheSenate’s announcement will see thatt|iese will perish. The wisdom of thisis debatable in some quarters, butthat these groups are inconsistentwith the educational policy of thisUniversity is undeniable.The question also arises as to thequality of the work which thesegroups do. The predominance of sen¬iors at the top of the hierarchy hasbeen explained by the theory that ittakes three years to learn all thecomplexities of the work done and tobe able to administrate the work.This theory is fallacious in most- or¬ganizations. It certainly does not takemore than a year for the averagestudent to assimiliate all the knowl¬edge needed to run any of the campusorganizations. It is only part of thehalo built around the senior classwhich is a hang-over from schoolswhere classes have a definite place incampus life and politics.It is probable that extra-curricularactivities will be stronger and better-run. The new plan will attract manywho would have ordinarily fididJedaway four unproductive years^ in aliberal arts college, devoting moretime to activities than studies. Theywill enter the same type of programhere as they would there and cancomplete it in two years.The effects of this program on ath¬letics will be even more devastatingthan on the average activity. WernerBaum discusses the problem on thesports page today, so there is littleneed to consider it here. Suffice to'say, the University and the WesternConference have some difficult prob*lems to solve.Oh yes, there was that trick Woolcotthad told him about. The artist cameout onto the stage, and" before begin¬ning pleaded with his audience: “Ifthere’s anyone in the back row whocan’t hear me, raise your hand and Iwon’t misinterpret.” This was thevein of the next two hours: therewere stories about Levant’s life, abouthis friends’ lives, about composers’lives, and just plain stories. Theywere told with a sparkle, with ananimation that would have made theevening a great thing even if thepiano hadn’t been there.The TruthBut the piano did after all take upmost of the time, and Levant wasgiving a piano recital, so it’s yourright to hear the truth about Levant’spiano-playing. Levant opened the con¬cert unorthodoxly with'a pair of Cho¬pin waltzes, the famous A-minor, andsome dreamy little thing my neighborand I guessed was the No. 10, Themusical savant marched over to themicrophone from the piano with ahard look in his eyes. “I hate to tellyou this, Mr. Levant, but you’re notin very good shape tonight,” he said.He took time out right then, to playa bombastic “exercise” to warm hisfingers. Feeling slightly better afterthe practice, he played a Chopin Ber¬ceuse, a little tedious after thewaltzes, but played with a very inter¬esting trill technique.Having thus assured himself ofplaying encores in Chicago, Levantplayed a Bach Partita. Played it asthough he had heard of counterpointsomewhere, but was trying to con¬vince the audience that Bach hadn’t.Then, after telling a few stories abouthow Artur Scnablel punished his au¬diences with Beethoven Sonatas, heproceeded, quite appropriately, toruin the D Minor, Opus 32, No. 2Sonata, not by doing it badly, but byfidgeting with the rack-and-pinion ad¬justment on his piano-bench, during Round TableReadies ForAnniversaryWith the broadcast “Are We Over¬confident?” Sunday (February 1, 1:30P.M.) the University of Chicago RoundTable celebrates its eleventh birthday,and examines the state of the na¬tion’s morale and the progress of in¬dustrial mobilization for victory.From an obscure beginning in 1931as a local program over statioh(WMAQ, Chicago, the Round Tablehas grown in popularity and influenceuntil today it is broadcast by morethan 100 stations of NBC’s Red Net¬work and reaches an estimated au¬dience of nearly ten million.Keeping step with swiftly movingworld events, and to guarantee com¬prehensive coverage of problems ofnational importance, the Round Tablehas increased the proportion of out¬side experts brought before its micro¬phone. During the last year morethan one-third of the broadcasts havebeen from outside Chicago—fromNew York, Washington, and Boston.In recognition of the Round Ta¬ble’s large audience and influence, andtypifying democracy at its best, manyleading figures in the nation’s de¬fense program have come before thepeople on the Round Table for a freediscussion of the problems with whichthey are concerned. In recent monthsAttorney General Thurman Arnold,Secretary of Agriculture .Wickard, By¬ron Price, director of censorship, andBrigadier General Lewis B. Hershey,director of selective service, have par¬ticipated in Round Table discussions.The Round Table is the oldest edu¬cational program continuously on theair, and only six other network pro¬grams have been on the air for alonger period of time.In educational broadcasting theRound Table pioneered the assump¬tion that radio listeners are interestedin fundamental problems as well asheadlines if these problems are intel¬ligently and clearly discussed.

The intermis¬sion was ushered in by Oscar’s warn¬ing: “Fifteen minutes you got.”Great PersonalityThe second half of the concert wasa considerable improvement over thefirst. Levant displayed several goodstories in connection with the Bachrhapsody he played; a considerablesense of piano humor with a Schos-takovitch portrait; fine understandingof the mood of three’Gershwin prel¬udes, and controlled bombasticallywith his concluding number, the LiztRhapsody No. 10.Is Levant a great pianist?

At eachsession, a prominent faculty memberwill speak. Dean Gilkey has promisedto speak at one discussion. The otherspeakers will be announced later.CrossCountryBy JOAN WEHLENThe war has apparently brought agreat change in registration to manyof the colleges throughout the coun¬try. Midwestern schools especially re¬port large decreases in registration.Coastal schools, strangely enough,seem to have been comparatively un¬affected by this falling off, althoughthe University of California at Berk¬ley reports a 25 percent decrease inregistration. On the other hand theUniversity of North Carolina’s reg¬istration jumped unexpectedly to anew high of 2,943, the professionalschools there exhibited a slight drop.The University of Wisconsin reportsnormal registration.The rise in paper prices and subse¬quent loss of advertising has causedcuts in schedules of various collegiatepublications. The Daily Northwesternhas discontinued publication for twoweeks at a time and will- come outon the third week as before. At theUniversity of North Carolina, TheDaily Tar-Heel, long a leader amongthe southern papers reports it is con¬sidering a merger with the CarolinaMag, a rival publication.Defense EffortsDefense efforts at American univer¬sities are going into full swing withthe start of a new academic year.Harvard has been having practiceevacuations of building and air raiddrills. Two buildings have been des¬ignated as shelters but students havebeen advised that their dorms, someof which have been standing for over200 years are the safest spots forthem in case of an air raid. The Uni¬versity of California announces that achange will be necessary in their an¬nual Axe Rally, usually held at nightby a huge bonfire, because of air raidprecautions.Funds for recreational purposeshave been cut at most institutions andeven those that remain are being di¬verted to defense uses. Victory Ballsare being held in many schools withdefense stamps the price of admis¬sion. Coeds at the University of Ne¬braska are even allowed an extralate night to attend the President’sBirthday Ball. That evening they maycome in as late as midnight insteadof the usual mid-week 9:30. At IowaState, prom funds have been cut toalmost a half and whatever profit ismade will be turned over to the RedCross FVnd.Military PrecautionsMilitary preparations are continu¬ing at most colleges. Courses similarto the one offered at the Universityare given at many colleges, through¬out the country. Iowa State expectsto graduate 1,500 military studentsthis May and is making plans totrain even more. The University ofIllinois is giving classes to civilianswho wish to be qualified for officerpositions but who have not had theopportunity to go to college. It is al¬so petitioning for a tract for an airfield so that pilot training coursesmay be started there.

W. Reichelderfer, chief of theU.S. Weather Bureau in “recognitionof their outstanding contributions inmeteorology as applied to aeronau¬tics.”Dr. Byers’ work has dealt with airmass analysis in weather reportingand forecasting. His recent researchhas been on the circulation of theparent of one of the girls in thehouse. A pair of book-ends, also hand¬made were given by another parent.There are also the “where do theysuddenly disappear to” gifts. Such arethe box of matches, the six cans ofkitchen cleanser, the paper towels, allvery thoughtfully given. The fore¬most member of the class was notice¬ably absent, no T.P. Soap tried tomake up for this serious lack. Couldit be that a certain enterprising gasstation’s offer of five bars with everyseven gallons was responsible. Ragsare always disappearing and so theyare here included. Here’s hoping thatthe feather duster stays around butanyone who has ever owned one cantestify that they are elusive.Bob Charles Plays ForGDance Friday In R.C,The second of the Winter ‘C’ danceswill be held this Friday in both loung¬es of the Reynolds Club.

Ray Seiverwas the lone victor in the Foil series.Chicago lost the Foil match 8-1. Theresults of the last two series are asfollows: SABER—Ray Norton w'ontwo bouts and lost one; Ray Seivercame through with three wins; TaylorMorris won one and lost two bouts.EPEE—Don Richards lost two andcame through with a victory; BenPritz won one and lost two; while CarlRay RandallResponding in perfect form, the in¬door-track enthusiasts are presentlyengaged in taking time-trials at theFieldhouse in preparation for theirfirst Big Ten engagement next weekagainst Purdue University.Ray Randall and Howard Winkle-man have come in with amazing pre¬season performances. Yesterday bothof them ran the two mile in 10:08.Randall improved his time, runningthe same heat in 10:10 last Friday.Some of the results of tests held areas follows: Warren Wilner ran the4i0 in 52 seconds, Randall sprintedthe mile in 4:82, and the 880 in 1:59.Robert Kinchloe completed the 70 yardhigh hurdle in ten seconds. Stan Clus¬ter, and Gordon Rapier are among theleading sprinters showing good formin practice.The first active meet of the seasonwill be held next Friday in the Field-house when the varsity indoor-trackmen meet the promising freshmanteam at 4 iw the afternoon.

The teamswere evenly matched, although thescore reflects otherwise. Coach Beyerexpressed joy in the good form ofthe Shanken twins and also the thirdmen, Stanley Totura and Jack Berger.The Maroons’ took the flying ringsas usual, carrying on with their tradi¬tional win in that line. Representingtwo fields of athletic endeavor, theMaroon team specializes in form whilethe Penn State coach emphasizes theperfect manipulation of difficult op¬erations.A triple meet features the nextgymnastic meet on February 7 whenMinnesota and Nebraska travel toBartlett. Minnesota defeated PennState last week-end in a match atMinneapolis, while Nebraska boasts abetter than average squad.Hockey PlayersFor Cold WeatherInclement weather once again dealtRalph Rowe’s puck chasers a setbackas lack of ice postponed the game atLake Forest for the second consecu¬tive Sunday in a row, Rowe statedyesterday that he thought that thfegame would be put on a play-as-soon-as-ice-comes basis.Also cancelled was a game with Ar¬mour Tech which was to have beenplayed on the home ice last night butthe warmish weather made the rinkunder the North Stands so much soup.The last regular practice for the teamwas held a week ago on ice coveredwith an inch of water. One ray of sun¬shine in the otherwise dismal outlookfor the skaters is that the continuedpostponing of games will give “Scrap¬py” Dean time to recuperate from hisankle injury and return the lineup toits full strength.Women BeginI-M Cage PlayThe Women’s Intramural Basket¬ball Tournament will get underwayThursday evening when the Studen-temps play the Fickeys at Ida NoyesGymnasium.

Bookstore5802 Ellis With WERNER BAUMSports EditorWith the “new order” in degrees,there is bound to be a repercussion inathletic circles. As I see it, there arethree possibilites as follows:1. There may not be any importantchange for in the past, in individualcases, the Big Ten has ruled that astudent is allowed three years ofcompetition regardless of the degreeshe has earned. Thus, the WesternConference may pass a special rulingallowing University of Chicago stu¬dents their regular three years evenif they hold the new degree.In a press interview last week Pres¬ident Hutchins implied that this maybe the course to be followed.2. The conference may take thisopportunity to “ease" us out of theleague. There are still elements with¬in the group which are not satisfiedwith our policy and by refusing togrant men with the new B.A. theright to compete, we will be prac¬tically forced to withdraw.3. We may take this opportunityto “ease” ourselves out of the league.Face to face with a subtle means ofdropping out, any local administratorsdesiring that end may jump at theopportunity.When the new system is initiatedwe shall have to tell the conferencethat we either want to stay and thatthey should pass a special ruling forus or that, due to the shortening of theundergraduate career, we have nochance to do anything in the confer¬ence and that therefore we shouldbe relieved from our position as amember.If the University takes the first ofthese two standpoints, the conferencecan act by either of the first two al¬ternatives. If, however, the secondstandpoint is taken, I am certain thatthe conference will release us.President Hutchins is very probablyright that, if we ask for a specialruling, we shall get it. I do not believethat the conference would use thismethod to force us out.But, we must remember, that it isa question as to whether or not wewant to stay in the conference at all.If our hierarchy decides that we donot, it will be faced with a goldenopportunity, with a chance to with¬draw without too much unfavorablepublicity and with a chance to re¬iterate its educational ideals.Margaret Burns of the faculty andMary Elizabeth Davis, student man¬ager. It was announced that a cupwould be presented to the winningteam. Northwestern University was de¬feated by Coach Spyros K. Vorres’Maroon wrestling squad in theiropening meet of the Big Ten Con¬ference season last Saturday at Northwestern 22-10. Previously thesmall Maroon squad had defeated Il¬linois State Normal, Bradley Techand Wheaton College in pre-seasonmatches.This Year's JoeA New EditionSpectators at the amateur leaguebasketball games in the FieldhouseSunday night had to be content witha Phillips “66” victory over the AcmeSteelers achieved without the serv¬ices of Hank Luisetti.Even without the “Mr. Big” of bas¬ketball the Oilers won 47-29 but thegame did not prove to,be what ad¬vance announcements implied. Luisettiwas forced to stay in Oklahoma be¬cause of a knee injury.Center of attraction was the Steel-er’s Joe Stampf, last year’s Maroonstar. But this year’s Joe bore littlesemblance to the pivot man of old.Listed as a forward, Stampf actuallyacted as a guard for most of the eve¬ning.Not once did Joe try the pivot shotwhich accounted for so many of hisBig Ten pointa and only once, on hisJoe Stampffirst attempt of the game, did he scoit'ea step-in.The crowd evidently expected a lotof Joe. He missed his first two at¬tempts from the free-throw line andboth times deep sighs came from theaudience. On his third attempt, how¬ever, Stampf came back into the foldand the crowd was happier.Even with his shots practically lim¬ited to the pot variety, Stampf man¬aged to score nine points, to be toppedonly by Lewis, the tall Oiler center,who managed to account for five bas¬kets.In a preliminary game which threat¬ened to become interesting during thelatter part of the second half, theSen. Daleys defeated Burton Dixies49-41. Next Saturday the undermannedMaroon squad goes to Iowa City, Iowa,to grapple with a strong Universityof Iowa team. As Iowa is rated asone of the strongest teams in BigTen wrestling, it therefore representsthe greatest obstacle in the Maroon’spath to a Big Ten championship.Reynolds in HospitalLoss of Dick Reynolds, now in thehospital with an infection, leaves ablank in the 145 lb. class which is nowbeing filled by Lawrence Bates. “Thistype of thing,” according to Mr.Vorres, “is the main weakness of theUniversity’s squad. Most of the teamsin the Conference have at least twoor three men for each weight class,whereas we have only one man inmost of the weight groups. Conse¬quently, if that one man goes stale oris injured, we would lose at least one,if not several, meets. We need moremen out for wrestling, and need thembadly if the team is to continue atits present pace.”Pyle WonIn the Noi-thwestem meet last Sat¬urday, Caroll Pyle won the 128 lb.class; Captain Sam Zafros, the 136lb.; Lawrence Bates, the 145 lb.; FrankGetz, the 155 lb.; Leonard Humphre-ville, the 165 lb., and Robert Mustaintook heavyweight honors. Thus, whilethe Maroon squad took six of thematches, the Wildcats were only ableto win the 121 lb. and 175 lb. events.Phi Psis Team toWatch ill I-M’sThe gentle breeze of rumor waftsa bit of a gem our way to the effectthat the smooth class “A” teams inthe Intra-mural basketball dog fighthad better be prepared to encountera cyclone when they meet up withthe Phi Kappa Psi five, for that littleorganization boasts of more than oneor two performers of varsity and nu¬meral caliber.
