JUNE 12. 1942 PRICE THREE CENTSInstituteForgesForwardWith the bepinninpr of the Sum¬mer Quarter, the Institute of Mili¬tary Studies offers its Basic MilitaryTraining Course for the eighth timein its history. Starting June 23 andcontinuing in two sections through toSeptember, this, the Institute’s mostfamous course, attempts to give pre¬induction training to men between theages of 16 and 48.In addition to this basic course,the Institute offers about ten supple¬mentary courses all consistent with itspurpose of advancing “civilian inter¬est in and knowledge of military his¬tory, theory, and practice.”Founded in 1940Founded in 1940 by Arthur Rubinand Lieut. Col. William Mather, en¬rollment in the pre-induction trainingprior to December 7 was not muchover 360. After the beginning of thewar, the Institute was deluged withapplications and found it necessary toenlarge its course to include 1000 stu¬dents in two shifts. This arrangementhas been continued up to the presenttime where one group trains on Tues¬day nights from June 23 to Sept. 1,and the other on Thursdays from June25 to Sept. 3.Instructors are drawn not onlyfrom faculty members, but also fromChicagoans of all classes and tradesw'ho fill the qualifications. Two of thebest known instructors are GeorgeBobrinskoy, Professor of Sanskrit andformer officer in the White RussianArmy who teaches how to operate ahand grenade; and English ProfessorNorman Maclean, who uses experi¬ence as former forest ranger to teachrifle marksmanship.Majority from OutsideBy far the great majority of thosewho took the course this spring wereoutside the University student bodyand in their twenties and early thirties.Supplementary courses in the In¬stitute include Mathematics Basic ToMilitary Service, Map and AerialPhotograph Reading, German MilitaryOrganization, Military Law, The Warof Offense, War Economics, and WorldWar II: The Opposing Armies. Announce NewStudent Aidesand MarshalsVelma Lois Whitgrove and LionelDewey Norris, Jr. will serve as SeniorAide and Student Head Marshal for1942-’43.The Student Aides, appointed byPresident Hutchins, are Anna MarieHaight, Frances Emily Hern, MaryHerschel, Betsy Kuh, Faith LouiseJohnson, Janet Eileen Peacock, Patri¬cia Lane Sommer, Janet ElizabethWagner, and Ruth Carolyn Webb.William Joseph Durka, Harry WilliamFisher, Frank Anthony Getz, GeorgeFrank Krakowka, Bill Louis Letwin,Edgar Wilbur Nelson, BradleyHawkes Patterson, Jr., Robert MarcusRaemer, and Jerome Paul Scheidlerare the Student Marshals.Miss Whitgrove is a cabinet mem¬ber of Student Forum, a member ofthe Service Men’s EntertainmentCouncil and Y. W. C. A. A memberof Delta Kappa Epsilon, Norris is aletterman in baseball and was recent¬ly elected to Owl and Serpent.Official announcement of the Aidesand Marshals will be made at Inter¬fraternity Sing tomorrow night.Those elected will act as ushers atthe next June Convocation and willassist at various University functionsnext year.StudentsActive inWar WorkFirst inquiries of all visitors andnew students of the University con¬cern the war activities of the studentbody and the relationship of studentwar work to that done by the facultyand the community. The Institute ofMilitary Studies has taken over actualtraining of men for active service,leaving any other activities up to thestudents themselves.Coordinate Student BodyTo coordinate the student body andto serve as a clearing house for alldefense activities on the quadrangles,a group of students organized the Stu¬dent War Council. This Council hopesto tie the University and its com¬munity into a closely knit well co¬ordinated group that will be able toserve in any capacity at all related toNational Defense and the War effort.Realizing as it does, that all of itswork rests on the plans of the Uni¬versity which in turn must await de¬cisions of the city and the state, theWar Council is at present faced withthe trying situation of being a semi-organized group which cannot effi¬ciently function immediately. TheWar Council is an organization ofthe future, which to any one aware OWL AND SERPENTWilliam BaugherRobert BeanDonald BoyesJohn Crosbietteorge DrakeGeorge GilinskyFrank KenneyRobert LawsonEdgar NelsonDewey NorrisJerome Scheidler Ten Thousand Graduates Herefor Alumni School and ReunionMaroon ListsProgram forLast Two Daysof the peculiar arrangements madefor student activities on campusseems quite out of the ordinary.Faces Major ProblemsCoupled with conditions as theyexist on the quadrangles, the WarCouncil must face two other majorproblems. It must combat the gen¬eral disinterest of the student bodyfirst in the war, and then in the or¬ganization itself. After winning theenthusiasm of the students and fac¬ulty, the Council must provide jobsto keep any potential workers interested until plans are made for a realdefense system on the campus of theUniversity.To keep itself in the public eye,the Student War Council has filledseveral routine and necessary serv¬ices at the University. It has rathersuccessfully sold War Stamps at sev¬eral strategic points on campus forseveral months. All selling is doneby students who volunteer their timeand are held responsible for thefunds given over to them for speci¬fied periods of time.Plan Ambulance DrivePlans have long been progressingfor an Ambulance Drive which hasthus far accumulated six hundreddollars which will be given to theRed Cross for the purchase of anAmbulance or any other vehicleneeded. Finally, an affiliation withthe Service Men’s EntertainmentCouncil, to provide USO services forall men stationed in this community,will close the Council’s plans forthe quarter.Next fall, and to a lesser extentover the summer, the Council hopesto establish Red Cross units, evacua¬tion units, collection groups, air raidwardens, and all other similar unitsthat would make this University theleader in collegiate preparedness.Until this can be done, the ExecutiveBoard of the Council can only laycareful plans for organizing the resi¬dents of the Uni"ersity and for fu¬ture cooperation rith all civic mind¬ed groups in this area. As the five-day Alumni School andReunion draws to a close, CarletonBeck, executive secretary of theAlumni Association, estimates thatabout 10,000 people will have attendedone or another of the parts of it.

Hutchins{We are reprinting this editorial from the issue of May 12both because we think that it is a good example of a Maroon edi¬torial but more important because we think it raises an issue inwhich you alumni should be particularly interested. Please bearthis editorial in mind when you hear Mr. Hutchins speak. You^too, may come to the same conclusion.)Let us now praise famous men.Let us praise Robert Maynard Hutchins, the leading educa¬tional reformer of my time; a monument to the rationality ofman.It is said that his life is devoted to the reform of Americaneducation. He has pursued his goal with abnormal courage, and un¬relenting force. And he has met with some success.But Robert Maynard Hutchins will fail to reform Americaneducation if the nation and, perhaps, the world is not reformedwith it; indeed, before it. The spot on his record, his tragic flaw,has been his reluctance to become something more than an in¬tellectual participant in the one struggle between good and evil.The spot on his record is not something he did, but something hedidn’t do. It is a sin of omission, not a sin of commission.Hutchins cannot cure American education by separating itfrom its diseased body. His devotion to a single ramification of amuch wider illness is self-defeating. It weakens the possibilitiesof a cure.Dr. Hutchins realizes that he is dealing with a sick educationin a sick world. Every symposium on the school system chantsthat same theme. Hutchins has attended many symposia. How canhe hope to cure American education when it is only one rottenlimb of a rotten body. The whole rotten world must be cured. Hiscause in education is hopeless, with only failure as an end, if hiscure is not part of a more general cure within and without thisnation. ^To fight for reform of American education, Hutchins mustfight, openly and specifically, which means socially and politically,for a successful reform of the other open sores on the face of theworld. None of them can be cured unless all are cured. Betterlearning and better teaching are possible only in a better world.This, then, is our chief criticism. Hutchins has been silent ontoo many issues on too many occasions. He has been only half-a-leader. He must become a leader of more than the Chicago Plans.(He must, because he can.) He must instruct our sorrows aroundWashington Park, for example. No action that serves to degradehuman dignity is too significant, or insignificant, to warrant silenceon the part of a modern leader. If there is the ‘good’ and the‘right,’ we must know w’hat they are.If Hutchins had been put in charge of the educational systemof a Fascist nation, as the Duce put Giovanni Gentile in charge ofItalian education near the beginning of the Fascist era, Italy’s edu¬cation would still be Fascist today. Hutchins is not a Fascist.Fortunately, he is not a Giovanni Gentile. But the President ofthe University of Chicago can work no miracles in education in aworld that is not concerned with the individual human being andthe general welfare. Gentile could have created nothing but aFascist school because he worked in a Fascist world. Hutchinscan create nothing but a school in the image of the world in whichhe lives.Hutchins, in his dreams of the fulfillment of freedom, democ¬racy, and human dignity, can never be satisfied if the world dreamof the supremacy of human rights, which would guarantee hisdreams, are not satisfied.His life’^s work hinges on the outcome of the world duel betweengood and evil. It is a duel that goes on everywhere, leaving no en¬deavor unaffected. It is a struggle of education, of Germany, ofthe many Washington Park’s, of industry, of labor, of religion, ofall action on every question.Why, then, does he not participate in the whole fight? For onthe outcome of the whole fight depends the outcome of his specialfight. He must speak out, explain, cite details, elaborate, and speakout again (as he has done in education) on every social and po¬litical problem of good and evil. Then he will be a moral leader,and he will attract an able flock of fighters to his banners.If Hutchins does not become a real moral leader, he is helpingdefeat himself and the aims which he understands and believes inwith the conviction that comes with understanding. He must helplesser men understand and, thus, believe in the human freedomsby declaring himself on specific issues; by being active in the Istreet fights between good and evil that go on around him.If Hutchins does not become a moral leader, he is shirking hisduty as a guide and teacher. To insert generalities into sermonson generalities is not enough.The people must be told over and over again what are thealternatives in a given situation, and what are the possible criteriaof their action.Crowds are not thinking organisms. Their leaders must bethinking leaders; clarifiers and critics. Hutchins is a thinker. Hemust also be a leader.Countless numbers of people, today, have little grasp of thedownright contradictory character of their interests. Beneath theceiling of the great fog of present day sloganizing, they still pur¬sue, and have faith in, their contradictory interests.Now these countless numbers are seeing the effects of theircontradictory interests. Now, more than .ever, they are wonderingwhat they can do. Many of us, despite the war unity, are confused,and look with a certain resigned futility on the happenings in thefour corners of their earth.“Where we gonna go?’’“How we gonna get there?”“What we gonna do?”“Who we gonna fight?”“If we fight, what-we gotta whip?” . These lines from an Oklahomafolk song are the questions thatthe people ask their leaders.If Hutchins understands theproblem, he must attempt to an¬swer these people. .Each timethat there is an issue betweengood and evil, he must tell thepeople what the problem is,“Where we gonna go? How wegonna get there ? What we gonnado? Who we gopna fight? If wefight, what we gotta whip?”We must fight with convictionif we are to win the war and“conviction implies understand¬ing.” So much is said in Hutch¬ins’ Chapel Sermon.If Hutchins understands hemust impart that understandingto the people so that'they mayfight their fight with conviction.Without an understanding ofwhat freedom, democracy, hu¬man rights, and human dignityare, the American people maywell continue to cleave to theircustomary faith in the hollow’,high-sounding fetishes that nowserv’e to cover the “sum total ofthe prejudices of the Americanpeople, of the American way oflife...”Most of the people do»not un¬derstand the relevant meaningsof our native symbols and slo¬gans in their relationship to eventhe most obvious hypocrisies ofthe time, such as racial and re¬ligious discrimination. TheAmerican people may w’ell bebleeding in “mere defensive so¬cial, economic, and political op¬erations, mere defense of thestatus quo...”This will lose the w’ar. It w’illalso lose the peace.Come out from behind thatcollege presidency, Mr. Hutchins,and be a moral leader.The practicing democrats needyou. Traditionally, the first thing astudent paper says to returningalumni is “welcome." Usually this issaid because alumni come back for aconvivial Homecoming celebrationwith the “big" football game of theseason as the piece de resistance.Everything is done to insure these“old grads" of fine regression totheir undergraduate days.But you are returning under fardifferent circumstances. There is nobig football game. The Inter fraternitySing is the only semblance of colleg¬iate rah-rah stuff. The program isgiven over instead to topics of intenseinterest to a nation at war. The Uni¬versity is assuming that you peopleare still interested in the acquisitionof knowledge. The whole program re¬flects that assumption.Instead of bonfire and pep ralliesyou are attending lectures and alumnischools. You are hearing professorslecture on subjects of vital interest.More important, these professors areexperts in the fields on which theyare lecturing. Too often similarspeeches are given by men with abso¬lutely no qualifications, and they ac¬complish nothing but the befuddle-ment of their audiences.Instead of having a hangover asthe only tangible aftermath of thealumni celebration, then, you willdepart with a better understandingof some of the problems facing ustoday. But you also depart with abetter understanding of your AlmaMater.That you are interested in the Uni¬versity is shown by your presencehere today. But even with as exten¬sive a program as the University hasworked out for you. there are manyfacets of its everyday life of whichyou may be unaware. This issue ofthe Maroon is an attempt to sketchbriefly some of the high points ofthe University’s contribution to thewar and to its students.We are also trying to instill, if itis not already present, a pride in youin your University. We know thatmany of you. if not all. already havegreat pride, but perhaps we can addsome more reasons. We would like topaint for you a picture of a greatUniversity, growing greater despitethe hardships of this period. ly demeaning themselves to meaning¬less and moss-covered traditions.Even we who are in daily inter¬course with the University are notcompletely aware of its greatness.Many of its more important contri¬butions to the war effort are shroud¬ed in necessary secrecy. But many,too, are public knowledge. The Insti-.tute of Military Studies is an ex¬ample. The Radio school for sailorsin the Signal Corps is another. TheBusiness School is offering a courseto train men and women for responsi¬ble positions in war industries. TheMeteorology department ks turningout men with commissions in the Airforce.But it is not only the war effortthat the University is devoting itstime to. The new Bachelor’s degree isa reformation of the educational sys¬tem of this country which is of far-reaching importance. W'hile the planof awarding a degree to a studentafter two years has a tenuous rela¬tionship to the war in that many malestudents will not be able to finishmore than two years of schooling be¬fore entering the service, it, never¬theless, required great courage tocarry such a reformation into effect.It goes without saying that thisplan has brought down the wrath ofmany educators, but so did the origin¬al Chicago Plan. President Hutchinsand the University Senate have notdeviated from a course of actionmerely because of adverse publicopinion. Thank God!But these are but a few instancesof the work of this University.

JUNE 12, 1942 Pag# ThresPeople NotReady forWartCravenThe American people are less pre¬pared to meet the crisis of the warthan any nation on earth becauseAmerican traditions are in completeconflict with the problems posed bythe war, Avery O. Craven, professorof American history, told Universityalumni last nig'ht.Professor Craven spoke at theopening session of the Alumni Schoolof the University, held in the audi¬torium of New Trier high school,Winnetka. The north shore meetingrepresented an innovation in reun¬ions, for it took part of the programto an area where there is a heavyconcentration of Chicago alumni.Struggle of ValuesThe fact of a global stage in worldrelations and the precipitation of astruggle of values “have forced uponthe American people more of con¬fusion and uncertainty than we haveever known,” Professor Craven said.“If democracy does not base itsfight on universal values, if our pur¬poses in fighting do not automaticallyinsure a better order and a last¬ing peace based on justice for allmen, then we have had our lastchance,” he warned. “The East willcurse us as did the West after thefirst world war, and democracy willperish at our own hands.”Confusion of the country is shownnot only in the widespread attemptsto interpret and understand democ¬racy, the effort to prove the GoodNeighbor policy, and the contradict¬ory attitudes held toward Englandand Russia, but also by “the almostuniversal tendency to jump over thewhole problem of war and war aimsand to indulge in talk of a futurepeace as though it had nothing to dowith war itself.”Lark International MindLack of international mindedness,Professor Craven said, is a naturalresult of the concentration of Ameri¬cans on the conquest of their owncontinent. But traditional Americandemocracy is completely out of linewith the present demands of theworld situation for a genuine demo¬cratic purpose by which the war canbe won and a permanent and justpeace established, he maintained.Avery CravenTraditional American democracy,he said, has permitted racial dis¬crimination and the doctrine of super¬ior races, the development of anaristocracy of wealth, and the growthof corrupt political rings in citiesand states.“The thing the Russians are talk¬ing about, the thing which intei-eststhe Chinese and the people of Indiais not the old traditional Americantype of democracy. It is a socialthing which has to do with self-de¬termination and economic abundancefor all peoples, all races, all classes.Social Justice Vital“It demands to know whether de¬mocracy has and will give greatersocial justice to all men, the weakas well as the strong. It insists thatthe social order exist for somethingbesides individual gain; that it provesit can overcome greed in human socie¬ty, that it can put integrity back in¬to civilization.“We can, perhaps, win a war wag¬ed just to protect ourselves and to de¬feat Hitler. But if we do and leavethe causes which produced this war 'Don H Let Axis SwapOil and Iron ^-—Croneis ^Near East’ Subject ofHarris Lecture SeriesA gigantic version of “Jack Sprattcould eat no fat; his wife could eatno lean” is one aspect of the Axis atwar—with Germany’s oil scarcity andiron plenty in striking contrast toJapan’s oil plenty and iron scarcity,Dr. Carey Croneis, professor of geolo¬gy at the University, said Wednesdaynight.Dr. Croneis spoke at New Triertownship high school in the openingsession of the seventh annual AlumniSchool of the University.“As long as the United Nationscan keep Japan from supplying Indiesoil to Germany, and Germany fi*omsending iron to the Japanese, thechances of Allied victory are muchgreater,” Dr. Croneis said.Oil is Needed“Oil is the Achilles heel of theAxis,” he said. “If Germany doesn’tsucceed in getting through to the oilof the Caucasus or Iran and Irak,their chances of winning the war ai*every slim. If they do succeed in grab¬bing these sources, they will havethe fuel to fight indefinitely.“On the other hand, where theJapanese formerly had available onlyabout 10,000 barrels a day plus theoil they had bought and stored beforeDecember 7, they now have in theEast Indies a potential supply ofsome 160,000,000 barrels a day. Thissupply is only abou^ 10 per cent ofI-F Sing—(Continued from page one)Following the competition will bethe announcement of the new Aidesand Marshals, announcement of thisyear’s Sing cup-winners, and presen¬tation of the athletic awards. The Singwill close with the singing of theAlma Mater and a Chicago yell.An ancient and outstanding tradi¬tion of the University, the Sing hasbeen held without interruption since1911. It also reputedly has the nation¬wide distinction of being the secondoldest college tradition of the coun¬try, second to the Vassar Daisy-chain.Serving on the Sing committee thisyear are: Undergraduates: John Cros¬by, Undergraduate Chairman; WallyKemetick, Edgar Nelson, MortonPierce, and Richard Reed. Alumni: S.Edwin Earle (1911) and Arthur C.Cody (1924), Co-chairmen, and Thom¬as R. Mulroy (1926).

We havetried it once. Whether we like it ornot we as a nation must face and facehonestly the fact that our traditionalvalues have been invalidated. An in¬ternational mindedness must gradu¬ally take the place of our old smugnational isolationism.”As important as democracy whichwill be effective for the world. Pro¬fessor Craven maintained, is thenecessity of making it effective inthe United States.“If we cannot make democracywork here so as to give justice toall our own people; if our democracyis just a system by which corruptpolitical rings may rule our citiesand our states; if democracy is onlythe opportunity for men to, becomerich and for social and intellectualthings to be overshadowed by mater¬ial gains, then it offers little hope toan expectant world that is sheddingits blood to advance the interests ofhumanity as such.” Carey Croneisthat of Texas alone, but it is muchmore accessible to the war zone thanTexas oil.”U.S. Leads ProductionDr. Croneis pointed out that theUnited States produced 63 per centof the world’s supply of oil, whileGerman sources, including all the oc¬cupied nations of Europe, probablytotal less than 4 per cent. Gei'man-controlled wells in operation beforethe war produced not over 150,000barrels per day. Synthetic productionnow may equal this amount. The fact¬ors which are hard to estimate arethe amount of oil the Germans havestored up and the possible develop¬ment of new oil fields in northwestGermany.Dr. Croneis illustrated the difficultyof the German oil situation by point¬ing out that on a day of great waractivity they probably consume 650,-000 barrels of oil, taking all frontsinto consideration. This, he said, ismore than they can produce in a day,and consequently eats into their re¬serves at the rate of a quarter* of abillion barrels in a day.Read the Daily Maroon —The news of the English, O crumbs, wotell the latest.

T.1131-1133 E. 55th St.COMPLETE SELECTIONOF BEERS ANDOTHER BEVERAGESFREE DELIVERYMID. 0524BLATZ and SIEBENS BEERS HousesNeed MoreFreshmenThe main idea and the policy behindthe new rushing rules is to attractas many freshmen as possible to fra¬ternities,” John Crosby, new presidentof the I-F Council, told the Maroonrecently. “Because there will have tobe sufficient, bill-paying members ifthe houses are all to keep going,” headded in explanation.Changes made to give fraternitiesan added attraction include the short¬ened pledge period, leniency in therushing code, and the emphasis put onfinancial stability in the measures re¬cently passed by the houses.Two Houses GoneTwo houses—Chi Psi and Phi KappaSigma—have gone off campus duringthe past year. “The basic reason forthese failures was lack of members topay bills”, Crosby said. The Chi Psilodge has been rented to Calvert Club,student Catholic organization, whichwill use the house as a social and rec¬reational center. The University itselfhas taken over the old Phi Kappa Sig¬ma house, now houses in it the AlumniAssociation offices, and the Depart¬ment of Nursing Education.Former Chi Psi Bob Lawson, indiscussing reasons for the demise ofthe lodge, said; “The national fra¬ternity felt the scholastic standingof the local Alpha was incompatiblewith the high standards of the na¬tional group...”Alumni Council ImportantCrosby stressed the potentialities ofthe I-F Alumni Council in helping re¬lations between the fraternities andthe University. “Through this groupof older men we should secure closercooperation with the Dean’s office, andespecially coordination on the housingsituation.” In this connection he men¬tioned the possibility of arranging forthe housing of freshmen in the Greekhouses. (Friday, however, the Dean'soffice announced that after reconsider¬ing the freshmen rule, it had beendecided not to rescind the regulation,so that for the time being the ques¬tion is apparently closed.) The finalword of Dean Scott is this: unlessdormitories are unable to accommo¬date all freshmen over the summer,fraternities will not be allowed tohouse them. If there is an overflow,houses will be asked to take them.Under no conditions will freshmen beallowed to live in fraternities duringthe fall quarter, but after that time,with the opening of the winter quar¬ter, fraternities will be allowed tohouse freshmen at any time for theduration.Possibilities of additional fraterni¬ties joining Chi Psi and Phi KappaSigma to the grave is not great, pres¬ident Crosby said. Most of the remain¬ing houses have sizeable memberships,though finances as a whole are shaky.One house has lost fifteen men out ofan original membership of 35, becauseof the war.A couple of the other houses havelarge mortgages overhead, Crosbysaid, and at least one reputedly hasa collection agency employed in get¬ting payment of past-due bills. Thenew regulations, providing for a ceil¬ing on such debts, will tend to correctthis condition in the future, however. UniversityLife Goeson ForeverLife at the University is academicin the middle of the year, hectic atboth ends. At one end is FreshmanWeek, wearing to the counsellors, ex¬hausting to the freshmen. At the otherend is spring, which is exciting foreverybody.Exams, ExamsIn spring, academic activity in¬creases in intensity, owing to compre-hensives, which frighten the fresh¬men, and bachelor’s exams, whichfrighten the seniors. Those in themiddle strain over quarterly exams,and come out, most of them, bloodybut unbowed.Education is not the only thing thatpicks up in the spring. Interfraternitysing arrives to make the fraternityboy and alumnus sentimental. Warmweather arrives to make even the non¬fraternity boy and everyone else sen¬timental. There is more sitting on thegrass in the quadrangles, more sittingon the grass on the Midway, moretennis and walks in the park, morepinnings and such frivolity.Sailors EverywhereBut this spring is different. Thereis still sitting on the grass, still ten¬nis and walks in the park, still pin¬nings and such, but the feeling issomehow not the same. There are alsosailors; sailors marching up and down,sailors peering out through the rail¬ing around Sunny Gym, sailors linedup outside of Blaine and Ida Noyes,sailors walking to class on campus.There are military training classes,war stamp corsages, war bond meet¬ings, civilian activities, blackouts attwo in the morning.The Coffee Shop is less crowded—even Nels Fuqua is not there. TheUniversity Tavern is quieter, andHanley’s, once packed three oeeparound the bar, is half-deserted, evenon Saturday night. The men who usedto take women there, the men whoused to go there alone—a lot of themare gone. A lot of them are too busytaking bachelor’s degrees while theycan. Most of those there are waiting,and then they will go too, into thearmy, the navy, the air ^orps, themarines.But college life, even at a Univer¬sity sternly held to the ideal of “aneducational institution,” does notchange easily. While there are youngpeople at college, there will be thosewho uphold it. And someday there willbe too many people in the Coffee Shopagain, and, maybe not at Hanley’s, butsomewhere close by, there will be peo¬ple packed three deep at the bar onSaturday night.CLASSIFIEDREWARD — for ledira’ dark gold watch, boz-agonal, black leather band.

TROBRIDGE"Th« beautiful picture of his lifeIdeserves to be carefully examined." **— Sandels.10c in paperAt University and other bookstoresTHE DAILY MAROON. FRIDAY. JUNE 12. 1942 Page FivePaul Douglas WritesFrom Marine CorpsPaul H. Douglas, the man who wentfrom books to barracks when he tookleave of absence from the Universityas professor of economics and enlistedas a private in the United States Ma¬rine Corps, has written from ParrisIsland, South Carolina, where he hasalready received one month of basictraining, that life as a leatherneck isindeed active and busy.But an active and busy life forPaul Douglas is no surprise to thosewho have this year watched the emin¬ent economist and politician serve asa University professor, take an activepart in the City Council as aldermanof the fifth ward, conduct a campaignas an independent candidate for Unit¬ed States Senator on the Democraticticket, and enlist as a private in theMarines the day after his defeat atthe polls by Raymond S. McKeough,Democratic machine candidate, in theApril primaries.Asks No ConsiderationDouglas asked at the time of hisenlistment that he be admitted intothe Marine Corps as an ordinary re¬cruit, no consideration being given forhis academic training or specializedqualifications. “I didn’t want a deskjob,” said Douglas, wanted action.As a private in the Marines, I shouldget it.” This attitude on the part ofDouglas was typical of his long stand¬ing advocacy of American interventionin the war prior to December 7, Heis, however, one of the few interven¬tionists who have shown any personalaction directly in conjunction withtheir policies.Although Douglas is 50 years ofage, which is 20 years over the Marinestandards for general service, his ap¬plication was approved by the com¬mandant of the corps, Lieut. Col.Chester L. Forney, in charge of Ma¬rine recruiting for the Chicago area.Lieut. Forney stated that one reasonfor his approval lay in the fact thatDouglas passed his physical examina¬tion with flying colors. Following hisacceptance, Douglas took part in thephysical conditioning classes at theUniversity and received the praisesof University athletic instructors, whoclaimed his physical condition to beunexcelled.Resigns from CouncilTwo days before his induction,Douglas resigned from the City Coun¬cil and introduced his last resolution,a general indictment of the schoolboard and its methods of operation.This closing motion was typical of aDouglas resolution, most of whichhave asked for investigations on vari¬ous functions of the city government,including traction, cost of garbage col¬lection, and many other similar topics.The Council accepted the alderman-professor’s resignation “with re¬grets”. Mayor Kelly also added, “Wehave had our disagreements. But I Paul Douglas. . . Douglas writes homehave never said a word against Aider-man Douglas, publicly or privately.When he was elected in 1939 I saidwe needed new blood to stimulate thecouncil, I think you did your workwell, Alderman Douglas, and I amsorry to see a man of your caliber go.Thank you for the work you havedone.”Douglas’ parting statement to thecouncil expressed the entire philos¬ophy of his senatorial campaign,which though ultimately unsuccessfulwon him and his ideas many staunchsupporters. “Every dollar wasted ingraft or padded pay rolls is a dollarfor Hitler and the Japs. If you reallywant to win the war, eliminate cor¬ruption and waste at home." Withthose words, Douglas solemnly walkedfrom the council chamber and marchedto war.Chapel Robbed of$1050 MondayA $1000 bond and $50 in cash werestolen along with the safe from theoffice of Rockefeller Memorial Chapelearly Monday morning. Because themoney was stolen between the watch¬man’s regular inspection rounds at2:30 and 5:30 a. m. the police believethat the robbery was committed bysomeone knowing the inside workingsof the chapel.The police think that the thiefprobably hid himself in the chapelafter the Girl Scout service which washeld there in the afternoon. As theservice was over at 6, the thief musthave concealed himself for at leasteight and a half hours.Other damage besides the actualmoney stolen was done to the chanceldoor when it was jimmyed to allowan accomplice to drag the safe to acar which had been driven up on thelawn adjoining the chapel. Reserve CorpsWants Men forElectronicsTraining salaries ranging between$1,800 and $2,600 a year and commis¬sions as second lieutenants are offer¬ed qualified men by the Signal Corpsafter eighteen weeks’ training at theUniversity, iq a course in advancedradio, electronics and micro-waves,sponsored by the U. S. Departmentof Education. Immediate applicationis necessary, for qualifying examina¬tions will be held Sunday, June 14,at the University,Men between 18 and 45 who havehad a minimum of two years of col¬lege mathematics, including calculusand one year of college physics, ortheir equivalent, are eligible.Students between 18 and 28 mustapply for enlistment in the EHectron-ics Group of the Enlisted ReserveCorps, and will be placed on inactiveduty while they maintain satisfactorywork in training. Upon satisfactorycompletion of the course, this groupmay be commissioned as second lieu¬tenants. Men not physically qualifiedfor Army duty, or who are over agewill be employed as civilian engineersat salaries based upon their work inthe course and their past experience.The salary paid during trainingwill depend upon the student’s quali¬fications. The course is tuition free,and incidental costs are estimated at$25 or less. Each student will spend48 hours a week in lectures, labora¬tory, shop, and discussion.Application blanks are available atthe Signal Corps Personnel Office,Room 602, 290 West Jackson Boule¬vard.Gas AloneNo Threatto CityA gas attack alone or a rain of in¬cendiary bombs will not offer a seri¬ous threat to Chicagoans if civiliandefense organization is effective.Gas plus incendiaries, however,would be a more dangerous problem.Dr, Frank H. Westheimer, assistantprofessor of chemistry at the Univer¬sity, said in a lecture at the Univer¬sity Tuesday night.Dr. Westheimer spoke and also gavedemonstrations with miniature incen¬diary and gas bombs as part of acivilian defense course given by theUniversity’s Institute of Public Service.“Gas is a useful weapon in trenchwarfare, where men are exposed tothe fumes without being able to takeeffective cover, but in a city all civil¬ians need to do is go into their houses.They will be safe if they simply closethe windows and stuff wet blanketsunder the doors,” he said.“One incendiary bomb can start afire that will burn a whole city,” hesaid, “But in London civilian watchershave shown they can nip 90 per centof the fires in the bud, and the firedepartment can handle the other andlarger ofles.“A combination of fire and gaswould be more difficult to meet, how¬ever,” he pointed out. “If gas drivesthe citizens into their houses, the firefighting will have to be left to firemenequipped with masks.”Discussing the effectiveness of gaswarfare. Dr. Westheimer said thatmany fears concerning its use aregroundless. He cited the fact that inthe first World War less than 5 percent of the men hospitalized aftergas attacks died, and that fewer menwere blinded by gas than by shellfragments.ARM WITH CHARMPoise, lovolinest, popularityore yourti DON'T WAITI Loomto walk, think and expressyourself properly — learn thecorrect way to care for yourskin and hair.FDFF **adventuiiks inmCiC klp oitcovcRV"Elena Moneak offers thb FREE ROOKLET and fulldetails of her helpfuil course.

T. Olmstead, Professor of Oriental History at the Oriental Insti¬tute. The book, as explained in thepreface, attempts to answer questionssuch as: “Who was Jesus of Naza¬reth? When did he live? Where washis home? What was his environ¬ment? How did he act? What did heteach? Why did he die?”Intending to include the life ofJesus in a general history of the laternear East, Professor Olmstead foundthat there was so little known of thesubject that he decided to publish itseparately. The writing of the bookitself took four years, but the back¬ground material was collected onlyafter 47 years of general research.The general background of the workcomprises a history of Jerusalem atthe time of Jesus. For this back¬ground, Professor Olmstead used notonly the literary material, but alsoarcheological material gained fromfirst hand investigations of excava¬tions at Jerusalem. The end papersare maps of the city at that time.SNAP SHOTSRecord Your Campus MemoriesIFULL STOCKS OF\ kodak FILMFor All Your Supplies2i Hour Developing ServiceU. of C.

BooksTakeSeriousTiirninWarTimeFundamental issues rather than“War as War*,’ are the main topics ofthe books which have been publishedsince the United States entered thewar. Even in the years preceding theactual declaration of war books wereprimarily concerned with muchweightier material than those writtenjust prior to and during the last war.Back in 1912, 1913, and 1914 peoplewere reading “V. V.’s Eyes,” “Freck¬les,” and “Pollyanna.” While “TheGrapes of Wrath” and “Native Son”do not altogether typify present dayreading tastes still the fact that bookssuch as these were on the best sellerlist does show that the taste of theAmerican reading has changed in thelast two decades.Informative books on the war andbooks dealing with technical problemsfor training in war industries havealso become increasingly popular.
