T. Nelson MetcalfThe MaroonInvites YouThe Daily Maroon and Cap andGown invites all the Freshmen totea in their office next Thursday at3 in the afternoon. At 2:30 on thesame day, the University publicn-tions will send representatives toaddress the Freshmen in SocialScience 122 at 2:30. Both thesemeetings are open to any one in¬terested in working on the DailyMaroon. .... Lieutenant CommanderCDance OpensSocial SeasonJack Russell and his orchestra willprovide the music for the first socialevent of the year, the C Dance nextSaturday evening at 9 in InternationalHouse. This marks the beginning ofa new custoip as C Dances have neverbeen held at International House be¬fore this season.Bob Bean, head of the Student So¬cial Committee, has announced thatplans are being made to place em¬phasis on the dances sponsored by luscommittee, as the social calendar ofthe quarter may not contain as fulla program as in former years. SocialC Books will be on sale all week at thebox office in Mandel Corridor, and arereported to have a greater value thanany other ye#r. By purchasing a CBook for $2.50, a student gains admis¬sion to all the C Dances and alsothe very important Autumn Formal. In The Beginning - - -In the beginning there is usuallypolicy,** There is a statement offaith; a promise of things to come.This is the Daily Maroon* s forty-first beginning and the editors wouldfollow a long and blameless traditionif they dusted off that old favoriteabout **we will report the news hon¬estly and accurately and our editorialcolumns will be fearless and correct.**All right, then.We will cover the news as honestlyand as accurately as we can and oureditorial columns will be fearless andcorrect. That much is certain.The Maroon has its sympathies. Ithas its preferences. And it will notshirk the task of commenting onevents on and off the Quadrangles.The Maroon believes that studentsare people of a larger world and thisbelief will be its criterion for editorialpolicy.No cow is sacred in Lexington 15.The Maroon has no vested interest inany other activity or department. Itwill not rededicate its columns to thefickle pleasures of a small coterie ofcampus boobs. It will knuckle to nogroup or individual. Our proudestpossession, almost our last from thelooks of the office, is our indepen¬dence.The editors of the Daily Maroon aredissatisfied with a great many things.We are dissatisfied with our war-effort. We are not made glad by ourfalse national unity. We are not fas¬cinated .by our leaders or our conduct.We are not happy that some of ourrepresentatives are strongly intrench¬ed native Fascists. We regret thatour isolationist nationalists are stillriding high in Washington. But thesethings are for other days,—THE EDITORS—New FreshmenGet MixedFreshman Orientation Week, nowmoving rapidly along under the guid¬ance of Jerry Scheidler and BetsyKuh, Freshman Orientation Commit¬tee and Federation heads, has on to¬days schedule, registration, sight-see¬ing tours of the University, a “sportsafternoon”, dinners for entering menand women, and in the evening, amixer for frei>-imen only.BillDoddsHeadsNewPolitical OrganisationStudent WarCouncil OffersWork For AllWar brings changes. War alsobrings new activities to any institu¬tion such as the University of Chi¬cago. The most important new or¬ganization of the year is the StudentWar Council which is completely de¬voted to helping the students partici¬pate in war work.The Student War Council headedby Minna Sachs hopes to coordinatethe student body of the Universityinto a closely knit, well organizedgroup that will be able to cooperateand fulfill the demands placed uponthe members of a community thissize. In addition to this, the Councilhopes that every one will undertakesome of the v^ork offered as this isthe one-way in which each individualcan “do his bit”.War Stamps and Blood BankWar Stamps are sold under thesponsorship of this organization ev¬ery day in Mandel Corridor. Arrange¬ments have been made with the Amer¬ican Red Cross to send groups oftwenty persons to the Blood Bank todonate blood. The Council is doing of¬fice work for several Universityoffices which find themselves too un¬derstaffed to undertake w«r research.These activities call for many personswho are willing to devote a few hoursa week to lending assistance where itis needed. U.S.O. work is in part un¬der the Service Men’s EntertainmentCouncil, but the War Council is plan¬ning to have round table discussions If we are to be democrats in ademocratic world we must participateiinu a decisive manner in the sweep ofevents about us. Th«t is what theFrench and British students believe.That is what the members of the new¬ly formed Student Political Commis¬sion of the University of Chicago be¬lieve.Headed, temporarily, by William H.Dodds Jr., the organization will con¬duct its first general student meetingin Social Science 122, Tuesday, Sep¬tember 29, at 4:30. The Commission,which hopes to serve as the nucleusfor a consolidation for all those Uni¬versity people “who are at all inter¬ested in problems of today’s and to¬morrow’s political world,” will presentHenri Simon Bloch, former leader inFrench student political groups, andnow researcher in economics at theUniversity and T. Walter Johnson, ofthe History department, as keynotespeakers.'The work of over 250 students onthe polls of Chicago during PrimaryDay last spring is the stimulus whichgives rise to the hope that while thisnation “fights for democratic prin¬ciples against foreign aggressors,”those at home “must fight for thesesame principles against home aggres¬sors.”As a result of the efforts of thestudent pollwatchers, about twentyprecinct officials were removed fromoffice for unwise or illegal conductand several cases are now being pre¬pared for court proceedings againstthe more fiagrant violators of theelection laws.and other meetings with professorsfor the service men of the neighbor¬hood. Heed EducationToWin-HulchiiisBecause technology alone cannot win the war, general education is moreimportant today than ever before. President Robert M. Hutchins of the Uni¬versity of Chicago said in his welcoming address to entering students at thestart of freshman week on the Midway yesterday.“Our greatest mistake has been believing that technology will solve allour problems. Our greatest menace has been the ignorant expert,” PresidentHutchins said. “We must become educated before we become experts.“We need technology to win the war, but technology will not win it.And technology alone will not establish a just and lasting peace. What willwin the war and establish a just and lasting peace are educated citizens.”Beside.s President Hutchins, Aaron J. Brumbaugh, dean of students,Norman F. MacLean, dean of students in the College, and Robert H. Bean,chairman of the student social committee spoke at the session opening aweek of scholastic aptitude tests and events designed to acquaint the fresh¬men with the University and each other. Today’s schedule includes a sight¬seeing tour of the University, a sports afternoon including demonstrationsof all phases of the University’s athletic program, open houses at the men’sand women’s clubhouses, and a dance at which only freshmen will be ad¬mitted.President Hutchins declared that a general education is necessary for thefreshmen men as a prerequisite to service in the armed forces, because suchan education will teach them to think and give them something to thinkabout.“I was a private in the last war,” he said, “and I can tell you there isnothing so dreary as the lot of a private when he has nothing to do andnothing to think about.“The University may look to you like a naval training station, a meteoro¬logical institute, or an army radio school. I assure you it is none of thesethings. These aspects of the University are manifestations of the University’sdesire to aid in the war program. The University ;'S an intellectual center. Itspurpose is to teach you to think. Its professors have been chosen because oftheir ability to teach you to think. The function of the University is im¬portant in war—more important than ever before.“I reject in the strongest terms Mr. McNutt’s assertion that non-es¬sential courses in the colleges must be replaced by subjects of immediateutility in winning the war. The courses which will be of greatest value inwinning the war are not those of immediate practical utility but those whichwill teach you as citizens to think!”Where Do I Go From Here?Dear freshmen, we know that the faculty will take care of your intel¬lectual needs, your counselors will watch out for your social savoire faire,and Chapel Union will take care of your souls, if you feel you need thatsort of thing. But there’s one thing that neither our counsellors nor ouradvisors nor Dean Gilkey ever told us, and that’s the answer to the ques¬tion, “Where is it?”This is where: in Cobb, there is ladies’ room on the second floor markedladies and another on the third floor next to the library which is notmarked at all. There is a gents' room on the fourth floor and another in thebasement, if you can find it. In Harper, the ladies’ john is on the secondfloor at the end of the hall, and the men’s is inside an unmarked door threesteps up from the first floor by the elevator. Nobody seems to know if thereis a men’s room in Wieboldt, but there is a ladies’ room, marked simply 302.The men’s room in the social sciences building is somewhere in the base¬ment, as in Cobb, and the little girls’ room is three steps down from thefirst floor by the elevator. In the Classics building both of them are on thesecond floor and next door to each other, so observe due caution.Gents OnlySpecial attraction for gents are presented in the Reynolds Club john,down in the basement, which is said to have appropriate poetry writtenon the walls, and special convenience for those who call for girls in thewomen’s dorms on the east side of campus, where there is a men’s roomdown in the basement. There is a ladies’ room in Mandel Hall, next to theentrance to the Commons and slightly concealed behind a phone booth.Roaches—Ye GodsIn Lexington there is one of each in the southeast comer of the build¬ing by the bakery, but beware of roaches. And in the Midway Huddle thereis just one, painted poisonous green and marked “Telephone” on the out¬side. There is a telephone in there, too. \i/Z^iCAao. V.THE DAILY MAROON. WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 23. 1942EditorialsShort World HistoryFor entering students {and a one, twOy three for the newdegree) who want a survey of the surveys.The world was boiling briskly in the beginning and when mancame on the scene he had freedom and disorder. So he set out toput the world in order and he worked feverishly for thousands ofyears. /And when he finished the world was boiling briskly and hehad order but he lost freedom.And So to Press—And so we go to press. Smaller. Fewer.The Maroon is not what it used to be. But that is nothingto be sad about. We are sad because the Maroon is not what itshould be. We had intended to publish twice each week. We hadhopes of making the Maroon a significant organ of Universityopinion. We had even gone so far as to contact certain faculty menand arrange for articles on vital contemporary issues. If we couldserve this University as a stimulus, a guide, an organ of criticalthought during these critical times...That was our aim. But we have no money. Poor Maroon. Andthe business manager reports advertising is down to where you canpalm it and so we are only printing once a week which ruins allour plans for series after series of articles by faculty and otherUniversity people on contemporary questions. And your poorminds will have to struggle along alone and unaided. The Marooncannot help pull you out of the mire. We cannot probe behind thesuffering of this world. We cannot help tell you what caused it,what are its cures. At best we can only say that it is not beyondcure and we—the youth of young America—must find that cure.We can begin easily, by not being afraid of the truth, by not beingafraid to recognize the enemy in all his faces. That, at least, is agood beginning. For most of you it would be more than enough. Itwould be more than your fathers or your father’s fathers did.Ah well. The faculty men will write less often but as well,hopeful of rescuing a wayward soul or two from the poverty ofmind which so many suffer. That hope is our editorial justification.It is foolish to dream that we can be as effective as a bi¬weekly when we are printing a series of articles in a weekly. Thetime lag between one and the next is too great.So the Maroon is smaller and fewer this year. Thirty-six is¬sues in all, our business manager, Mr. Bell, reports.But we are not all broken up. In fact we are happy. Not aboutthe Maroon especially, but about the forthcoming better world(you know, the world after the war) where the wolves that preyon man and lay him waste... the wild men of greed, of fear, ofprivilege, of power, of tyranny, of oppression, of hell and wealthand poverty and disease, of injustice, if impersonal cruelty, andof social wrong... have been beaten down; where the old monst(irsand their monstrosities have been destroyed and the next genera¬tion can fight the new evil from that vantage point.We are happy in the thought that evil is remediable; that itwill be fought today and tomorrow.So we are smaller and fewer. Inspired, the martyr goes to thestake thirty-six times, as the crusaders of the revolution of thecommon man grow ever stronger, “praising the people’s will asthough it were God’s will and cursing wealth for iniquity.”The war, like some great depression, makes us less jovial,less proud as we begin our new year as editors of the Daily Ma¬roon. Somehow the personal joy of being the forty-third editor ofthe Maroon is not so very much because we can’t forget that inRussia men are dying under the strain of Western civilization. Inthe Pacific big American boys from Kansas City and Chicago andAlabama grow suddenly thin, old and haggard. In England theywait and are ready.Three-thousand, five hundred are left at a place called Dieppe.In Illinois there is a Congressional election. It is all part of thesame thing. This is winner-take-all, dueces wild, no rules exceptvictory.All we want to do is mull over the questions of the day, and“victory for what, for whom, for why.”Ah well.Once a week, then.P. R.WHAT IS SO QUEER ABOUTINTERNATIONAL HOUSE?By BEATA MUELLER“People outside of International House seem to think it's a queer placeand full of queer people,” said Director Rovetta sadly, “and it’s a situationthat I don’t understand.” Time will probably change this attitude.International House, like the classical drama, has the two-fold functionof instruction and delight. Its instructive function is stated in its motto—“that brotherhood may prevail”—that by living together over a period oftime, Americans and “foreigners” and Negroes and Orientals and “whitepeople” and all sorts of other categories will come to understand and possiblyto like each other as individuals and human beings. Important at all times,it is especially important now in time of war and its consequent necessityfor group hatred that this individual understanding exist somewhere.The second function, that of delight, is implicit, but very real. Interna¬tional House is a sort of continuous vaudeville, partly from the inmates’eccentricities—some real, some cultivated for their own amusement and thatof the onlookers—and partly from the very nature of the House itself. Tour¬ists come in from the outside world with the attitude of tourists everywhere—they want to look at the funny people. They buy cigaret^ in the Gift Shop,vaguely expecting thpm to contain hashish, and sit down in the Tiffin Roomor the cafeteria less because they are hungry than in order to look aroundthem at the nearby tables where men and women are sitting together un¬conscious of the fact that they are Chinese and Negroes and God knowswhat. Then the tourists feel a delicious thrill at seeing something that theyfeel is strange and probably slightly improper, and they go home and sayto their families, “That International House—it’s a queer place.” TRAVELINGBAZAARBy BEATA MUELLERALAS FOR—the days when the Maroon officewas a gay and raucous place, whenFisher the bitter boy genius and Stuthe Glick Schulberg shot craps on thefloor with Johnny Stevens while UnclePhilbrick watched disapprovinglyover the copy desk. Fisher the Bitteris a lieutenant in Guatamala, runningover Guatemalan policeman with hismotorcycle, Schulberg is a reporteron the Washington Times, JohnnyStevens is an ensign and married, andUncle Philbrick is a C.P.O. somewherein the north Atlantic. Alas those daysare gone, and nobody shoots craps onthe floor or plays gin rummy on thecopy desk as of old.BUT—the Bazaar goes on forever.

Oh HappyFreshman WeekBy PHILIP RIEFFSo this is Freshman Week. Fresh¬man Week, 1942. So. ^ .As a consequence of this beingfreshman week we feel obliged to wel¬come the freshmen.Welcome.Unquestionably the most bogus ofall the many bogus beliefs of homo-^j^magoans is that there is a memo¬rable delight in being a freshman dur¬ing Freshman week. Most bright youngpeople come to the quadrangles withthe peculiar prejudice that fun issomehow completely non-existent aft¬er Freshman Week and the Frater¬nity-Club rushing season. This, un¬doubtedly, stems from the deep-seatedsuperstition most Freshmen have thatthey will soon be converted intogloomy intellectuals of the type thatis supposed to haunt the Universityand they better be hilariously happyand all joy for a week or so. This be¬ing their last seven days as normal,run-of-the-mill human beings.Wined and DinedNow, there is no reason for Fresh¬men to have these mis-guided opin¬ions. Up until pledging time they arewined and dined in varying degreesof splendor by various fraternal or¬ganizations. Eminent looking sopho¬mores they have never laid eyes on be¬fore spot them 200 yards off, ambushthem in an incredibly few seconds,stop them under a friendly elm andpour sweet-sounding trivia into theirfree ear. Two or three sober seniors,dressed in quaint single-breasted, pin¬striped suits, with or without “C”sweaters, trap them on the stairs ofCobb Hall and invite them over for abite at the house. Hundreds of some¬what drunken-looking young men grabthem affectionately about the should¬ers just as they are about to partakeof the free victuals, slobberingly la¬menting it a shame that a certain oth¬er house is monopolizing the brilliantbut misled young genius, and whydon’t we see each other oftener, comeover tomorrow night.

During Freshman Weekhe says hello and in four years he willsay goodbye. That is quite an intimatefriendship and he can tell the peopleback home about his friend, mentorand president, Robert Maynard Hutch¬ins, who is much maligned by thepress.He holds hands a couple of barn-dances with girls who never-so-muchas nod when he walks down the Midway in November.

He forgets the seventhousand jokes he learned duringthose seven hectic days. He neveragain receives an opportunity to ren¬der the Alma Mater, and John Vande Water disappears.

He was the tall man whomade the first speech on Tuesdaymorning. He flattered you, or maybeit is the war, by making the firstspeech which was not the same as thepreceding seven, on the cheery butchilly morn. He is six feet, three inch¬es tall, has three daughters, a wifenamed Maude, striped window shades,and lives next to the Chapel. He isa brilliant man, whom you will notsee much of, it being one of the urpublished traditions that a student atthe University sees the presidenttwice: once during Freshman Week,and once at your graduation.

SEPTEMBER 23, 1942School of BusinessGives Tim WarCoursesThe present national emerp:ency hascreated an unusual demand for train¬ed men and women—trained not onlyas accountants, secretaries, engineersand mechanics, but as administrators,supervisors, and analysts. Necessaryinduction of young men in the armedforces at the very moment when pro¬ductive industry must be greatly ex¬panded creates an unprecedented de¬mand for women trained and able tofill up the ranks in war industries.One of the most serious managerialproblems encountered by rapidly ex¬panding organizations in the defenseindustries is the recruiting of personscapable of speedy adjustment in po¬sitions of a supervisory or semi-super¬visory character. The task is primari¬ly one of management. It is urgent.The School of Business of the Uni¬versity of Chicago recognizes the na¬tional need. In co-operation with theUnited States Office of Education itoffers two intensive, full-time, tenweeks programs of training to twogroups of carefully selected appli¬cants. The courses are ProductionTraining for War, for men, and Emer¬gency Business Training for Women.These programs each provide 376class hours of instruction coveringthe minimum essentials of training re¬quired to fit men and women possess¬ing the necessary potential qualifica¬tions for useful service entailing su¬pervisory and semi-supervisory re¬sponsibilities in war industry.Must Meet Present Ne^sThese programs of training are de¬signed to meet an immediate need andadmission to its courses will be madeon the basis of competence and gener¬al intelligence plus evidence of em¬ployability. Applicants will be admit¬ ted only after careful investigation.Acceptance or rejection is subject todetermination solely by proper Uni¬versity authorities.The program is tuition free to ap¬plicants selected by the School. Thecost of the program will be met outof appropriations of the federal gov¬ernment for this purpose. No collegecredit will be granted in connectionwith the course of study. The programis designed solely to contribute to warpreparation. ^Four Fields for WomenThe course of instruction for thewomen’s courses will be divided amongfour major fields: Office Supervision,Personnel Problems, Accounting andStatistical Techniques, and Problemsof Production and Procurement.The course for men. ProductionTraining for War Industries, will in¬clude Personnel Problems, Productionand Procurement, Accounting and Or¬ganization.Dean Spencer SupervisesThe program will be under the su¬pervision of Mr. W. H. Spencer, Pro¬fessor, and Dean, The School of Bus¬iness. All lectures will be deliveredby regular staff members of profes¬sorial rank. Discussion groups will beled by specialists selected from thestaff of the School.Placement in war industries is theobjective of the program. Contactshave been made with the defense andwar industries in the Chicago metro¬politan area on the basis of whichthose in charge of the training pro¬gram will attempt, as far as possible,to secure placement for those who sat¬isfactorily complete the course.Application should be made at onceto the School of Business.They Come and Go; TheseDA Men Can't Take the PaceFour new faces in as many years isgood indication of the parlous statein which one of the larger phases ofextra-curricular activity has beenfound. The change in men trustedwith the onerous task of supervisingdramatic activities on the quadrangleshas been frequent since the long ten¬ure of Frank Kurburt O’Hara wasended in 1938. Silver-thatched Mr.O’Hara turned his entire attentionto teaching in the English Departmentafter holding sway as Director of theDramatic Association for many years.His immediate, although somewhatshort-lived successor was *‘Doc”Yungmeyer, known by no other nameon the quadrangles in the memory ofliving habitue of the QuadranglesClub. The Doc had been noted for hisproductions of the Revels, his collab¬orations in the direction of Mirrorshows, and his somewhat unusual oc¬cupation as Permanent Secretary ofthe Locomotive Lovers of America.This last is a somewhat apocryphalorganization devoted to the art ofpreserving and taking pictures ofLocomotives (never failing to have awater tower in the background), andsuch-likes pastimes. He lasted for ashort time, to fill the hiatus beforeWilliam M. Randall returned fromboth the near and the far East.Exit RandallWilliam M. Randall took over in1939, assuming duties grouped underthe title of Associated Dean of Stu¬ dents in charge of Dramatic Activi¬ties and Publications. In addition tothis he carried a teaching schedule(being a Professor of Libraray Sci¬ence), he edited the Library Quarter¬ly, and filled in his spare time work¬ing out code messages and cryptogra¬phy problems for the army. He left totake a Major’s commission in theArmy Air Intelligence, and is nowsomewhere back in the near or farEast.The present occupant (I haven’tlooked in the last two weeks) is theDivinity School’s Davis Edwards,who taught speech and radio tech¬niques for some time on the affiliatedfaculty.
