DECEMBER 2. 1942 PRICE THREE CENTS3M MeteorologyClass GraduatedOiiieial VisitorsHutchins' ChiestsJUter ConvocationHifirh ranking Army officers at¬tended the convocation services forthe third training unit graduationfrom the Institute of MeteorologyMonday morning in Rockefeller Me¬morial Chapel.The majority of the graduateswere Army Air Force Cadets whowere commissioned as second lieu¬tenants at the convocation by Brig¬adier General Arnold N. Krogstad,Commanding General, ChicagoSchools, Army Air Forces TechnicalTraining Command. A formal mili¬tary review of the cadets was heldon Stagg Field preceding the con¬vocation.Other groups in the graduatingclass were Navy ensigns who werecommissioned before entering thetechnical training, and 28 civilianswho will become instructors inmeteorology or civilian weatheremployees.Dr. Arthur H. Compton gave theconvocation address, “MeteorologyServes Man”. A message of con¬gratulations from H. H. Arnold,commanding general of the air forceof the United States Army, wasread by Lieutenant-Colonel NormanL. Peterson, weather officer, secondregion.Following the convocation, Armyand Navy officials were the guestsof President Robert M. Hutchins atluncheon in the Quadrangle Club.Bible ScholarReveals OriginOf "Jehovah //“In the modem Bible the word‘Jehovah* is obsolete.” So says Pro¬fessor William A. Irwin of theOriental Institute, at this time col¬laborating on a new translation ofthe Good Book. As for Jehovah,there never was such a word, atleast not until a few medieval schol¬ars got their consonants mixed upand invented the word.In the palmy days, it seems, whenthe Israelites still had their syna¬gogue in Jerusalem, God was re¬garded with such reverence that noman spoke his name. When the wordoccurred in the books, the pious Jewsubstituted “The Lord’* in its place,and gradually the vowels thereofwere written above the consonantsof “God**. Time passed, and whenthe monks of the middle ages madetheir translation, they combined thetwo, and since then Christians haveworshipped a man named Jehovah.There never was such a person.Improvements in New Translationvm Therefore, the new translation isga “revision of the present Americanm Standard Edition of the Bible in them light of the results of modem schol-f arship, to be designed in the direc-f tion of the simple classic style ofthe King James version, and willspeak only of ‘The Lord*.**I Not that Dr. Irwin and his coi-* laborators disapprove of KingJames* project. It is only outdated.As a matter of fact, there have been,since John Wycliffe*s stab at thejob, about 16 outstanding versionsof the Book. The number of privateattempts is unknown, but consider¬able. «The latest attempt to modernizethe King James version was theAmerican Standard Edition of 1900.Tli(it was bad in that, for one thing,(Continued on page four) Army Moves inMaroon TakesTo Pulse Office JohnsonSeeks 5thWard Post Sendee Fund AidsRefugee StudentsBlackfriarsThe Daily Maroon along with Capand Gown has retreated to the Pulseoffice. Pulse, like Darlan, has sharedits facilities with a smile on its faceand its tongue in its cheek. Accord¬ing to editors of all three publica¬tions the situation is merely a mili¬tary expediency. By DICK CLURMANT. Walter Johnson, twenty-nineyear old University history profes¬sor, has been nominated by theFifth Ward Independent party tosucceed Captain Paul H. Douglas ofthe United States Marines, as alder- Mirror BoardTcMeet With Dean Collection onCampus. BeneiitsWorld YouthThe MAROON moved in an order¬ly retreat and no one lost his head.Our “Honorable” editors sacrificedtheir intellectual pursuits for thelugging of desks, typewriters andother material. To call the new for¬tress a madhouse would be the heightof understatement. The members ofPulse mn around crying like madfor their beer. Cap and Gown stayin their corner, shocked at the noise.Even the MAROON reporters seem¬ed to have lost their usual “peaceof mind”. This temporary conditionis rapidly vanishing, and the pre¬occupation “organization** is againtaking over. man on the citycouncil. Johnson,who worked withDouglas in hisSenatorial c a m-paign of lastspring, has an¬nounced that hewill adhere to ap¬proximately thesame policies ashis predecessorin the political race. The fate of Blackfriars and Mirrorproductions will be decided in DeanBrumbaugh*s office this week whenhe meets with Dean Mort, Edwardsand Grover from the Dramatic Pro¬ductions Department, and membersof both Mirror and Blackfriarboards. The University Committee of theWorld Student Service Fund is be¬ginning a drive in which money willbe collected for the aid of refugeestudents in America, Europe, andAsia. Students may contribute ei¬ther in Cobb Hall, Mandel Corridor,or the Book Store. Winslow Fox andFelcity Fonger, heads of the commit¬tee, expect to collect at least 900 dol¬lars, twice the amount collected lastyear.^Dr. JohnsonNumerous of the MAROON*S lessmilitaristic members have becomesentimental over their moving. Theypass the old office with a lump intheir throats. The writers of Capand Gown have even been observedshedding a few secret tears. Accord¬ing to the editors, the greatest lossof the whole campaign was the doghouse, painted on the wall, whichwas left in the path of the Army*sadvance. They tried tearing downthe wall, but gave the job up as im¬practical. As to the future the MA¬ROON has promised only one thing:They will by all means take downsome of the pictures which adorn thewalls. Amen. According to Johnson, the Kelly-Nash machine will support the can¬didate for alderman in the FifthWard, who approves of their mayor-ial nominee. He further stated thatthe Democratic party has not decid¬ed on their candidate for mayor butthat when they do, the attitude of theparty toward Johnson and his sup¬porters will be clarified. In this meeting budgets will bereviewed and the important questionof whether or not Mirror and Black¬friars are to continue will be settled.Because of the uncertain conditionof the budgets of the organizationsno definite date can be set for pro¬duction ‘ until the Dean*s office hascompleted their investigation.If the report is favorable, datesfor the two pei-formances will beannounced after the meeting. If theDean’s office decides against pro¬duction, the two organizations willbe discontinued for the duration.Johnson’s PlatformFollowing the reformist tendenciesof Paul Douglas, Johnson will at¬tempt educational and political in¬novations in Chicago, and includesin his platform: open bidding forschool board contracts; an abolitionof the political system of appoint¬ments of teachers in the junior-col¬leges and high schools run by thecity government; changes in the“shift system” used in negro publicschools and better living conditionsfor both negroes and whites in allareas of the city. Student Forum toSend Debaters toN. Y. U. DiscussionFive members of Student Forumwill represent the University at theBig Ten Women’s discussion meetat Northwestern Friday and Satur¬day. The national collegiate ques¬tion “Problem of Federal Union ofUnited Nations” will be discussed. Aid Many CountriesUniversity students participatingwill be Betsy Jane Davison, SallyRadcliffe, Ellen Baum, Betty Plas-man, and Barbara Karatz.STUDENT PUBLICITY BOARDTalent to entertain high schoolseniors is being recruited by theStudent Publicity Board for aVariety Show which the Boardand the Alumni Council are co¬sponsoring in Mandel Hall, De¬cember 12, for prospective Uni¬versity students.Anyone who feels that his abil¬ity to entertain has been over-*looked should come to try out forthe show tomorrow at 8:30 in theReynolds Club theater. “Local government all over Amer¬ica,” asserted the University facultymember, “must take more initiativeinstead of waiting for orders fromthe New Deal to tell them what todo.” Johnson expects as one of thefirst steps in that direction, to usehis infiuence in the establishment ofnurseries for children of defenseworkers, thus ameliorating the pres¬ent conditions where young childrenare left without care while theirparents are working in war indus¬tries. Other debates scheduled by Stu¬dent Forum this week are a Men’sdebate at Northwestern today, an¬other men's Student Forum debatewith New York University, Satur¬day, and a women’s debate withN.Y.U. Deane Hinton and WilliamDurka will represent Student Forumat the Northwestern meet whileCharles Moskowwitz and SidneyKallick will be on the N.Y.U. team.Betsy Jane Davison and Betty Plas-man make up the feminine teamwhich will debate N.Y.U. Today approximately one-third ofthe fund is being given to China,one-third to unoccupied Europe, andthe remainder to Russia and theUnited States. A great effort is be¬ing made to aid the Student Prison¬ers of War, including Americans.The Fund works in cooperation withthe Red Cross, and other PrisonerRelief Societies. Effort is also beingmade for relocating of Japanese-American students.International House ConferenceStudent War Council PlansTo Include Every CampusMemberThe Student War Council is nowending a period of intense planning,which has lasted throughout thequarter and which has been extreme¬ly necessary for the organizationand its work in the future. WarCouncil plans for next quarter aremany and varied, opening manyfields of war work to the studentson this campus so that they may, atlast, begin to cooperate in the wareffort.In addition to planning a campuswide program for the cooperation ofthe students in their war work, theWar Council will continue many ofits plans and much of the work thathas been continuing throughout thefall. The Victory Book Committeehas announced that its drive forbooks for the Service Men of this neighborhood will continue untilenough books have been gatheredto make a sizeable contribution tothe National Committee. To date,hundreds of books have been collect¬ed in boxes in Mandel Hall, CobbHall, and Harper Library. Helen Ty¬ler, committee chairman has madearrangements to continue gatheringbooks throughout.the school year.The War Stamp Committee, underVirginia Bennett has recently addedto its duties by forming a specialevents committee which takes chargeof selling stamps at all large Uni¬versity functions and gatherings.Betty Siefried, who heads this sub-comitteee is working directly withMrs. Frederic Woodward of the Edu¬cational Department of the City-wideWar Stamp committee. Another un¬dertaking of this group is the selling . of War Bonds which will begin nextFriday. War Bonds will be sold ev¬ery Friday thereafter from 12 noonto 1 o’clock at the War Stamp Boothin Mandel Corridor.The successful response to theWar Council’s Blood Bank work hasbeen responsible for the planning ofa new drive to send persons downto the American Red Cross BloodBank. Instead of sending donors ev¬ery afternoon as this quarter, in¬dividuals may have their choice ofmorning or afternoon and may godown any day they desire includingSaturday which was put on the listby a great concession of the RedCross. Last month over three hun¬dred persons from the Universitygave their blood to the Red Crossand this was the largest group dona-ation ever made. ’ _, The climax of the Chicago Com¬mittee’s activities was reached lastSaturday when a conference of 16mid-western colleges was held in In¬ternational House. The ChicagoCommittee began in 1937 and wasknown as the Far Eastern StudentService Committee. In 1940, it be¬came a part of the World StudentService Fund. At the conference Sat¬urday, suggestions were made whichwould aid in arousing American stu¬dents to the situation which exists.The Chicago Committee is nowacting on these suggestions. Theyhave asked for contributions .con¬sisting of more than a nickel or adime. They would like contributionsfrom 2 to 4 dollars. If every studentcould give the amount of moneywhich he spends on one day of theschool year, thousands more Rus¬sians, Greeks, Frenchmen, and Amer¬icans would have a hope for thefuture. For example 6. dollars willbuy medicine^ for 300 dying studentsin Greece. Seven dollars will feed aChinese student for a month. Tendollars will supply condensed milkto a Russian student for a year.Throughout the world millions ofyoung mon and women are depend¬ing on this fund for their life.f ■ 1'^-health, and future. They are depend-l'ling on you.^e World Student Service Fundwas begun in 1937 to aid studentsin China. As war spread to variousparts of the world the importanceand influence of the Fund expanded.Today they have contact with or¬ganizations throughout Europe,Asia, and America. The headquar^ters are at Geneva, Switzerland. Allmoney collected is sent there, andthen to wherever it is needed most.The Fund furnishes food to thestarving Greeks, clothing to thefreezing Chinese, shelter to thehomeless refugees throughout theworld. Since the outbreak of the war,the need for such an organizationhas been increasing until todaywhen it is practically indispensable.Hitler has destroyed Universities inall Axis-occupied countries; therefuge for millions of young menand women is gone.Page Two Jiism THE DAILYSession MAROON^ «~ ft. ,^^^>*t>aggmber 2. Iqa-)TRAVELING BAZAARBy JESSIE POLACHEK■ This war has created a mountainof needs. 99 44/100% of the Univer¬sity people want to win the war.There is fermenting dissatisfactionwith the state of the war effort oncampus. People are dissatisfied withtheir own personal contributions.A civilian finds it harder to be effec¬tive than a soldier or a war worker,because his work is voluntary.The campus war effort has suffer¬ed for two reasons. There has beena lack of strong, determined leaders,and an abundance of intentional andunintentional confusionists. We arehampered by the old Universitytendency to sit back in a chair andwatch. But we no longer have thequestion of merely action or inac¬tion. It has become one of life ordeath. You have to move these days.The question which everyone wantsanswered is—where? The unorgan¬ized civilians on this campus arelooking for leadership.' YCL and the War EffortThe Young Communist Leaguerecognizes these problems. Placedunder the same pressures, it feelsthe demand to come on campus andcontribute directly to the campuswar effort.The Young Communist League isan organization concerned with thefuture. Its members are youilg andlook forward to free, happy lives.But it realizes that in order to se¬cure the future we must fight forit today. “We live in a moment inhistory when both the present andthe future are tied up in a singlebloody knot of war—^war to thedeath against fascism.”The Abraham Lincoln Club of theYCL is carrying out a complete pro¬gram of war services. It has a file ofsteady contributors to the bloodbank. Each member has a quota ofWar Stamps to be purchased regu¬larly. It will offer suggestions andfollow orders to build the campusSalvage Campaign. It offers itsser^ces to the USO and the WarRelief organizations on campus. Itopens its facilities to any organiza¬tion on campus for information andstatistics on any phase of the wareffort. It is delighted with the newdevelopments within the War Coun¬cil’ toward inter-campus co-opera¬tion and offers its complete services(Continued on page four) ' WARDROBES APPEARED TO BE SLIGHTLY DEPLETED,but ’twas no drawback to the fun.

Dave Zimmermann and Ed Nel¬son are the veterans and will prob¬ably draw the starting assignments.Zim, who got a beautiful shiner inpractice Friday, is the smallest manon the team but no one has anymore scrap and speed than he.Featured last year as a long shotartist. Nelson has departed from thisstyle of play this year and, when heloosens up, shows an excellent eyefrom around the free throw circle.Lou Nagy, a sophomore who hailsfrom Hammond, is probably the bestshot on the team and the hardestman to guard. He puts them throughfrom all angles, off-balance or on,and is slated to see plenty of actionthis year. Last but not least is talland lanky Len Rifas. Len lacks ex¬perience but later in the year hisheight should prove a valuable as¬set.Veteran George Krakowka andsophomore Hank Ellmann have beenworking at the center spot thus far.George has improved over last yearin that he has shown more drive andinitiative but has been handicappedby a lack of practice since his workas a medical student kept him quitebusy. Ellmann has a good eye forthe basket and is a good reboundman but has a tendency to dribbleand shoot a little too much.Oakley, Crosbie, Lilien, GuardsAt the guards, we And" veteransBob Oakley and Jim Crosbie, andsophomore Armand Lilien. Lilienhas been the outstanding sophomorethis year as he has shown a steadydefensive game combined with agood long shot and ability under thebasket. Back in fairly good condi¬tion again, Oakley has exhibited anice one-handed shot but still needsa little more fight in going after re¬bounds and driving into the basket.Crosbie, another boy with medicalstudies to worry about, has had theadded handicap of a bad knee andhas only recently reported for prac¬tice.All in all the team promises togive anyone a good fight and shouldwin some games this year. The boysshow a lot of team spirit and thisshould give them the added driveand speed which they have beenlacking in the past. Good luck to¬night, fellows. By BOB MURRAYAs fall quarter intramurals drawto a close, it is time to look backand see who has been reaping thelaurels. In first place is Delta Up-silon with 185 points; second, PsiUpsilon with 176; third, DKE with173; and fourth with 153 is AlphaDelta Phi. DU’s points were garner¬ed by placing second in the MilitaryRelays and taking runner-up honorsin the fraternity touchball race. PsiU. won the Relays, but fell off intouchball where they had to be con¬tent with winning the “B” league.Skimming over the Dekes, who aretoo close for my personal comfort,the AD’s took the touchball cham¬pionship but fared poorly in the Re¬lays and entrance points.Final Swimming Meet TodayIntramural swimming, the finalevent of the quarter, will be heldthis afternoon in the Ida Noyes pool.Qualifying has been going on for thelast two weeks and the times re¬corded seem to indicate that theAlpha Delts and the Kappa Sigs (!!)will be the leading contenders. Noholds were barred—^from swimmingthe pool diagonally to stopping inthe middle to say hello to a friend—as the qualifiers attempted to keeptheir times low enough to put themin the novice class.Basketball Season to Open TonightAs noted elsewhere, the basketballseason starts tonight. Practices thusfar seem to indicate that the boysintend to win a few games this sea-Powerful ExecutiveOn Way - DeclaresMaynard C. Kreuger“An all-powerful executive is onthe way in unless certain reformsare made in the political processesof the nation,” said Maynard C.Kreuger at a meeting of StudentForum yesterday in Classics 10.Speaking on the subject “AreLegislative Bodies on the Way Out?”Kreuger stated that unless these re¬forms which he does not see forth¬coming were accomplished the legis¬lative bodies were doomed.The changes which Mr. Kreugerthinks necessary are: 1) a change inthe party system so that they standfor clearcut, general program and2) changes in legislative procedurethat fit in more successfully withlarge scale legislative processes. son—I hope they do and also thinkthat they will. The team does havetwo weaknesses which will proveserious unless corrected. First istheir failure to follow their shots—alway an outstanding characteristicof Chicago teams. Everyone seemsto assume that the ball is going in,and hence the other team usuallygets control of the backboards. DaveZimmerman, the smallest man onthe team, is the only one who is con¬stantly in there battling for the ball.Secondly, the boys have some niceset plays but as soon as they getin an intra-squad game they forgetall about them. When they do re¬member, the plays work like a charmand lead to some quick scores.In past years, our teams have hadtheir scoring power concentrated inone man. But this year there are anumber of fellows who have a goodeye for the bucket and can hit fromall over the floor. Names: Nelson,Nagy, Ellmann, and Lilien.

It has an educationalprogram which returns constantly tothe basic issues of the war so thatit may take a straight path throughthe haze of academic questions andconfusions about the war. It seesclearly the necessity for completecooperation for victory, the un¬leashing of popular energies in thefreeing of the Negro people to fight.It recognizes the developing interna¬tional youth solidarity as an expres¬sion of sentiment for a fighting frontin Europe. It sees the North Africanoffensive as the go-ahead signal forthe allies. It is deeply impressedwith the struggle of the Soviet peo¬ple against fascism. The AbrahamLincoln Club is concerned with thepost-war world. It looks forward toa world free of the danger of fas¬cism, in which the nations will deter¬mine, each independently, their des¬tinies. Nations may choose capital¬ism or socialism or something be¬tween the two. The important thingis that they be free to decide. Marking the anniversary of theJapanese attack on Pearl Harbor,the University Round Table will dis¬cuss “After One Year of War—What Have We Learned?” next Sun¬day, at 1:30.Thurman Arnold, U. S.

Websterstates that criticism is a “judging,a critical statement, or an examina¬tion and review.” Any reader of re¬views on this campus can easily seethat in the past there has not beenan approach of this kind to review¬ing.A good dramatic reviewer hassufficient background in the waysof the theatre to make him some¬thing of an expert in this field. If hedoes not have a background of thiskind, he has no business doing dra¬matic reviewing or criticism. If awriter feels that he does not haveenough knowledge of things theatri¬cal, but is called upon to write criti¬cism, he may give simply a review ofthe play, leaving the critical judg¬ments to someone who has had moreexperience. Such a review is accept¬able to most readers. On this cam¬pus it would certainly be better toprint this kind of writing than tocontinue publishing the warpedopinions of those misinformed, prej¬udiced people who think that theyknow it all on the basis of one ortwo years of reviewing campus dra¬matics.Two Plays PresentedDuring this quarter there havebeen two dramatic productions.Those in the cast and backstage putin long hours of work on theirshows. Some of those informed in¬dividuals called critics attended theopening nights and painstakinglynoted each poor point, even going outof their way to make the less obviousflaws strikingly wrong. In the re¬views, printed in our noble campuspublications, the most obvious strongpoints were mentioned, but the re¬viewers stressed the most minutefaults of the performances, givingthe reader the impression that therewere only faults in the entire pro¬duction. Some reviewers, it has beennoticed, even go so far as to men¬tion only the faults. In some casesa reviewer has tried to give fairjudgment, but because of the preju¬dices of some editors the reviewshave been edited to give the publica false impression of the perform¬ance. The editor usually does nothave the experience or backgroundnecessary to edit a critical reviewsuccessfully. In most cases the editorhas not even seen the production. Adramatic review can be handled onlyby some one who has viewed the pro.duction critically.Critics Should PracticeLet those would-be reviewers orcritics (you may choose your term)practice reviewing, and not at theexpense of campus actors and direc¬tors. The best textbook is the dailynewspaper or magazine which printsdramatic reviews. There are playsappearing every day throughout thecity. Why not take advantage of thiswealth of material and practice writ¬ing reviews? When a writer has hadsufficient experience in viewingthings theatre, and has had the prac¬tice in the writing of his opinions,then it is time enough for him tosubmit material for publication.@ET THE URGETO HELP PURSEHITLER.'THREE BLIND MEN(BLIND TO AMERICA’S WILL TO WIN)GPtN THEIR EYES BY INVE5TIN6YOUR CHANGE IN WAR STAMPS★ it The Daily Maroon The Bible..(Continued from page one)it brought in “Jehovah”.135,000 For New TranslationTherefore, the International Coun¬cil of Religious Education founded asubscription of $35,000 in 1937 fora new translation.
