ChicagoMaroonPublication of News and OpinionsVol. 1, No. 12 Z-149 April 9, 1943 Price Four CentsS.P.C Next to go ofWar-Hit ActivitiesAnother war casualty has hit theStudent Political Commission with theresignation Wednesday of Jerry Zieg¬ler, chairman, who is leaving soon forthe armed forces. The loss of Zieglerand Ward McCready, who recentlywent into the Army, leaves six girls tocarry on the work of the SPC. Inview of his approaching departure,Ziegler feels that he cannot continueas chairman, but intends to give asmuch of his time as possible to theorganization.The remaining members are natur¬ally sorry to lose Ziegler, but statethat this situation has or will soonarise in every campus organization,and they intend to continue their ac¬tivities on the same basis as before.A discussion in the Social ScienceCommons Room is scheduled forThursday, April 15, at 8:30.The S.P.C. recently issued a pamph¬let on various student groups whichare contributing to the war affort andto discussions of post-war problems.So ends an organization which, lastJanuary, started out with plans afidprojects to shake the campus. Infor¬mal meetings between students andfaculty on post war reconstruction,monthly reports, enlarged conferences,were planned as medium to bring thewar and its political significance to thecampus. Those plans now are one withthose of Blackfriers, Mirror and theReynolds Club.Typical of the projects was Presi¬dent Jerry Ziegler’s flamboyant let¬ter to the MAROON last January 21.“The. S.P.C. has concentrated its ac¬tivity by participation in campaignsand by poll watching. It is at presentengaged in supporting Walter John¬son and Maynard Krueger as candi¬dates for aldermen of the fifth and sixth wards respectively ... We aregoing to hold informal meetings of adozen or so students and a few facultymembers on the broad subject of post¬war reconstruction. There will be twoor three meetings a week and at theend of the month a meeting at whicha paper shall be read . . . speakerswill point up one or two of the prob¬lems of reconstructing the post warworld.”Those plans, of course came to verylittle. Now, four months later, theStudent Political Commission has metthe same calamity that has followedthe path of every other campus ac¬tivity since the war began.U of C Prof findsAnti-Cancer StepLast week Professor Papl Steinerof the Pathology department an¬nounced science’s most recent stepin its-fight against cancer.- That dis¬ease, long one of the most peculiarlyhorrible of those to which medicineas yet holds no cure, has evaded everj^attempt to isolate and destroy itsorigin. Dr. Steiner believes that heand his colleague Frederick Koch aregradually approaching that point.In a series of experiments datingback to 1938 these two have steadilyattempted to discover the chemicalorigin of cancer. Their niost recentlyannounced result of their experimentstook the form of the following fact.Cancer can be produced in micethrough the injection of a substancefound in the urine of cancerous per¬sons.Harper Lincoln DisplayThis week, immediately inside themain door of Harper Library, stooda few glass cases and a statue ofAbraham Lincoln. Within those glasscases reposed, in the form of scrapsof crackling brown paper, a record ofLincoln’s life from the days of theSangamon river to those of Pennsyl¬vania Avenue, Washington.The marriage license of ThomasLincoln and Nancy Hanks, the bill ofsale of the old Lincoln farm in In-dana, Abraham T.irjcoln’s first exer¬cises in simple multiplication and di¬vision lay there.

He saidthat the most obvious difference be¬tween this school and the Universityof Mexico City is the fact that thelatter has no campus, the buildingsbeing scattered over the city. It is al¬so much larger, having twenty thou¬sand students, he added, “This yearwe have one thousand American stu¬dents in residence.”Professor Caso is teaching Middle-American archaeology here.

We must be realDemocrats hereTo Convince AxisThe end of this war must not be thesignal to an organized and enforcedprogram for the conversion of con¬quered Fascists. This was the tenorand import of President Robert M.Hutchins’ annual chapel sermon lastSunday.“Extermination of the Germansand Japanese is not a solution” hesaid. “Above all nations is human¬ity. If we want a world civilizationwe must believe in the principle ofdemocracy. Only democracy recog¬nizes common humanity.”Hate Won’t WorkMr. Hutchins recognized the prob¬lem of, in the event of their defeat,their conversion to an attitude similarto our own. Nevertheless, it is nota problem to be solved by occupationand force. “We cannot force democ-rarcy on them, that isn’t democratic.We can’t terrorize or educate theminto believing in, the principles ofdemocracy. We must make theUnited States a working model fordemocracy.”And that is an effort which doesnot so much concern them as it doesourselves. “The alteration we mustmake,” said Mr. Hutchins, “is inwanting to be democratic.”Monopolies Must GoCartels and monoplies, must becomethings of the past. The half heartedAmerican system of education mustbe abandoned. Of this last he said“Only a small fraction of the profes¬sors in this country, except inChicago, are interested in education.Offer one of them a political appoint-men and he’ll grab it up. “Educa¬tion is being more rapidly abandonedhere than any other country exceptGermany. Education lasted longer inEngland and Canada, though theyhave been at war longer.”This speech, for some obscure reas¬on, has been marked by the presi¬dent’s office as fit only for those 2,000persons who had the treat of hearingit. Through causes unknown it hasnot been considered worth the wide¬spread publicity of most utterancesof Mr. Hutchins.Merriam and LuckhardtOpen Walgreen LecturesCharles E. Merriam, professoremeritus of the University of Chica¬go, discussed “American PoliticalTheories—The Makers of the Consti¬tution” before a packed audience atthe Walgreen Foundation lecture lastWednesday at 3:30 in Social Science122.Dr. Merriam portrayed the found¬ers of the American constitution asphilosophers as well as planners.These men, he stated, set forth philos¬ophies and concepts of governmentmet with remarkable success despitethe opposition of public sentiment atthe close of the eighteenth century.Dr. Merriam went on to list thedangers and dfficulties the writers ofthe Constitution faced and overcame.He concluded his lecture with a sum¬mary of the achievements and devel¬opments of the American democracy.There will be a staff meeting ofthe staff and all those interested injoining the staff of the MAROONMonday afternoon at 3:30. Professor Luckhardt gave a vitallyinteresting and timely lecture on med¬icine and medical aid for the militaryforces in time of war. He gave a vividbackground of man’s suffering on thebattlefields of the past. The filth,disease, barbaric methods of treat¬ment, all are a part of this history.He summarized in several topics theadvance of medicine which was madepossible by the hard work of researchand laboratory workers.At this time when the medical andfirst aid divisions of the army holdsuch a high place in the esteem of thepeople, it is not only interesting butnecessary to know how science hasadvanced and expanded.On the Greek and Roman battle¬fields, the suffering were treated bymen who used crude, painful, and in¬fective methods of treatment. On thefields of war from that time up tothe present war, medical science hasendeavored to find safer, more effect¬ive methods of care for wounded andsick soldiers.Page Two\The Chicago MaroonEntered Janudt'y 13. 1943, as third class mail in the United StatesPostal Service.

The fire,the pain, the ghastly horror of mass and indis¬criminate murder can culminate in but one qual¬ity, and that quality is hate. When people, suchas the Russians, are driven to the last outpostof human endurance, they have but one resort:a blind, unreasoning, all pervading hate.It cannot be helped. It-comes naturally and,in many cases, can prove the strongest weaponof a beaten people. To thousands in occupiedEurope an absolute and undiluted hate has beentheir sole comfort and retreat.Nevertheless, at this time those men who takeupon themselves to mould the opinion of theAmerican people seem to have adopted a delib¬erate policy to introduce the American people tohate. Not the abstract dislike that inspires youto hiss Hitler in the newsreels and never mentionHerr Goebbels without a string of descriptiveexpletives. That counts for very little. What weface is a corroding, insidious and malevolentobsession.Hate may be inevitable. It should not be en¬couraged. This is why I think so.You cannot hope to build a postwar world onhate. We tried it last time when, at Versailles,Clemenceau demanded one thing, retribution forFrance. Germany, the insidious aggressor, mr.stbe crushed for all eternity. Germany was dulycrushed. The world may never get over it.We have a problem. That problem is toconvince the Nazi-soaked children of Germany,Italy, and Japan that there is a better way tolive. If we occupy their countries, split them up,treat them like they treat Jews, we may breakthem but we will not win them. Only by showingthem that they were wrong, by showing themthrough example and experience that freedomis more pleasant than regimentation, can wemake our peace stick.For Germans and Italians and Japanese arenot monsters. Italians are not cowards; theyare a life-loving people fighting a war withouttheir heart in it. Germarts are not brutes. Theyare husky nordics who have been taught andtaught and taught that brutishness is next togodliness. Japanese are not malevolent insects.They are common peasants and students andclerks accursed with bloody traditions and sky¬larking ambitions. None are objects of hate.That is one reason. It is a practical fact:that we cannot have hate and peace both.The second may well be much more impor¬tant. We like to tell ourselves that this war isextraordinary. It is not a simple carnage ofaggression, defense, or imperialism; it is a battlefor ideals. We like to tell ourselves: ‘This waris different. This war is fought for life, liberty,the pursuit of happiness and everything else thatwe think is fine and noble.” The phrase is fa¬miliar.But we cannot make that feeling truth if wefight on hate. We cannot tell ourselves that weare fighting for the light and beauty in theworld if we are really fighting for the dark andbloody hate. We cannot die for ideals if we arereally fighting for hate.If this war is a war that is different we mustfight for something more complex than simplehate. If hate comes, then it comes inevitably andit can’t be helped. But if we encourage and waitfor it, the consequences, however sickening, arenobody’s fault but our own. All For The Bestby Marvin GreenbergerFar behind the scenes, well out of voters’sight, were the real issues in Tuesday’s municipalelections. Both Republicans and Democratsclaimed to be worried mainly about* machinepolitics versus clean government, but the elec¬tions affected problems far removed from thequestion of efficiency in managing a city.The opposing candidates were men with im¬portant national political alliances, Kelly andMcKibbin representing parties having vested in¬terests in national politics. Kelly is allied withPresident Roosevelt in views on domestic andinternational topics. He supported Roosevelt fora third term and has indicated his intention towork with the administration again in nextyear’s presidential elections. McKibbin is a prod¬uct of an organization determined to destroyeverything the New Deal has done. He repre¬sents the Governor Green-Chicago Tribune com¬bine that put Curly Brooks and Stephen Dayinto Congress.Had McKibbin won Tuesday’s election, twoimportant results, full of repercussions for na¬tional politics, w'ould have followed. First, Chi¬cago Tribune protegees would have gainedcontrol of Illinois, would have found themselvesleading the Illinois delegation to the Republicanpresidential convention next year, thus assuringsupport for a reactionary, isolationist candidate.Second, the repudiation of Kelly’S' leadership bythe voters could only have meant that the daysof his control of the democratic party in Illinoiswould be over.However, the opposite of this occured. Thevoters accepted Kelly’s leadership of Chicagowhich represents about one half the votingstrength of Illinois. They entrenched more firmlyin power a man whose expressed views are pro-Roosevelt.Thus, regardless of whether or not Chicago¬ans realized it, every vote they cast for Kellywas a vote for Roosevelt. Every repudiation ofMcKibbin weakened the Tribune supporters’stand relative to the position of the Democraticmachine.The elections did not guarantee that Green,Brooks, Day and the Tribune are not already ina position to lead the Illinois Republicans in se¬lecting a presidential candidate whose aim willbe to destroy what Roosevelt has built. But atleast the voters of Chicago have done much toprevent a clean cut victory for them.Beyond what it will do for municipal life, theTuesday election is important because it has ad¬ministered the first serious set back to that groupof the Republican party which is still isolationist.It is important because the power it assuresMayor Kelly may'very well be the start of adraft-Roosevelt-again campaign.Has Hutchins Slippedby Paul PattonContrary to the popular opinion of PresidentRobert Hutchins’ educational foresight, whichadmittedly in the past has been original to saythe least, it is today suffering from what mightbe called a case of “war-jitters.”For years President Hutchins has been theforemost of education innovators but at last heseems to have foresaken his loudly-advocated“learning-before-all” policy completely. He ap¬parently has succumbed to the perfectly logicalpanic policy of the average university adminis¬tration by telescoping too many vital courses ofthe university—even to the extent of a two-yearBachelor of Arts degree.Furthermore, the administration has beenguilty of the last two of the three vices rampantin the American high educational system', herelisted, “specialism, impersonalism, and research-ism.” Latent during the years of peace, theimpersonal attitude between student and pro¬fessor, as well as the continual re-emphasizingof technical courses, to the detriment of allothers, have both come to the surface. In thelong run, of the two, the latter is by far themost important. As Hutch firmly and correctlybelieves, “the leaders of our country after thewar will come from amongst college men,” yetat the same time paradoxically he stands by asthe greater portion of the student body are di¬verted by suggestion of the advisory board (theydo it almost by rote of the university, into thosecourses which are technical or involved or both(which the Armed Services laud) and which arevery narrow in both scope and application.It is the duty of the professors of Chicagoto see to it that they produce leaders of men(cliche though it is), rather than small narrow¬minded accountants, meteorologists, mathema¬ticians, and so forth. America needs men of widevision rather than men skilled in minute re¬searches in specialized studies. ^ Traveling Bazaarby Genevra'LorishDEPT. OF FESTIVE OCCASIONS(BRAWLS)The AD Phi’s—you know, those boysthat are always hanging around thenew Reynolds Club—had an excellentparty last Saturday night at whichromped many joyful couples. Amongthese were Jean Nash and the one andonly Durk, Wally Lawrence and Suzy,Chet Lukey and Lynn Hill CJeary andStierer, Peacock and Buffalo Bill.On the same night fell the perform¬ance of “The Silver Cord” given byD.A., which I’m told was very good.DEPT.

Mondaynight Aileen Wiseman announced toeveryone that she had seen Zurf in U.T. with some despicable babe, and wasabout to toss him into Lake Michigan.Sympathetic souls swarmed aroundher with comforting words, and criesof “Oh—I was afraid of this” and“What a Cad” and “Ha! I saw themthere!” were heard. Later these peopleall wore red faces when it was foundout that Aileen and Chuck were justas happily pinned as ever—Aileen hadjust spread this rumor so nobodyLetter To .The EditorGentlemen:In last week’s issue you ran an edi¬torial urging action in favor of a billnow reposing in committee of thestate legislature; a bill to lower thevoting age to eighteen. This editorialmisses the point of the eighteen yearold vote controversy. The issue wasbrought up immediately after Cong¬ress passed the eighteen year olddraft bill on the theory that a manold enough to die for his country wasold enough to vote, indirectly, at leaston his country’s policy. Superficially,the argument is a cogent one. Butwhen one comes to analyze thereasons behind the eighteen year olddraft, and the voting qualifications,one finds they contradict.The main reason why the armywanted teen agers was that they werereckless; they were willing and ableto take sudden risks and plunge intodangers which would disconcert anolder man. No one can deny thesefacts; they are the attributes ofyouth.But it is these attributes which dic¬tate that the voting age should bekept up to twenty-one. Qualitieswhich are sought for on the field ofbattle are not the same qualitieswhich make a responsible voter. Wewant deliberation, not recklessness,caution and investigation, not head¬long plunging.An eighteen year old marine,though he has undergone trying ex¬periences ^d been decorated forheroism, is not necessarily a fit per¬son to vote. He needs the experienceand maturing which he will obtain inthe next three years of his life inorder to vote responsibly. Loweringthe voting age would only release thevote to people who are not yet readyto assume their duties as citizens ofAmerica.Sincerely,Bill FriendThe fact that the army desires thecourage and rashness of eighteenyear olds as your letter states doesnot necessarily imply that those eight¬een year olds are incapable of voting.They are, at this time, bearing to aconsiderable extent the safety of theircountry on their shoulders. Theyshould certainly be given somethingmore than a silent partnership inthat country. Editor would sing to them on Monday nightin the C Shop. What drastic meas¬ures!DEPT.

Let’s see now—there’s Ernie Rowe plus Emil Ritter;Margie Moffat and Bob Schmitt, andthe best deal of all, was the pinningwhich took place between acts of “TheSilver Cord”, when Bill Goes hung amedal on Shirley Vanderwalker.something tells me the Dekes aren’ttaking any chances on losing theirwomen when they march off to war.DEPT.

The sailors garn¬ished one hit off his pitching and fourouts by waving their bats futily athis pitched balls.Navy batmen never numbered morethan four per inning while Cors<m wason the mound. He, in turn, sampledtheir pitching and in two trips to thebatter’s box singled in the second todrive in Chicago's first run and tooka free trip to first on balls in thenext inning. On first he worried thepitcher into tossing a wild one to thefirst baseman, allowing Chet Lukeyand Nick Parisi to score.The other Maroon runs were chalk¬ed up in the second when Wally Pfeilwalked, forcing in Jerry Solomon; inthe third when Paul Homer scored onParisi’s grounder to shortstop, and inthe fourth when Fred Cimerblat scoredon Homer’s sacrifice to center field.Coach Kyle Anderson used DickReynolds on the mound in the fourthinning and Bob Nelson in the fifthalong with another string of players.Navy scored their two runs againstReynolds on three walks and a hit andlost two outs on strike outs.The score:12345 RHENavy 00020 226Chicago 0231x 6 4 3Batteries: Geren, Bancroft, Sandel andSmith; Corson, Reynolds, Nelsonand Pfeil.(Called at end of five innings byagreement.)Outdoor Track TeamIn First MeetOpening their season with a tri¬angular meet, the Maroon OutdoorTrack team will journey to Naper¬ville tomorrow to engage Navy Pierand North Central.Some of the boys who expect tocompete are: Dick Rider, pole vaultand high jump; Marv Shapiro, half-mile and mile; Hal Gordon and NedMunger in the quarter mile; BobFrazier in the pole vault; and BobWright (no relation to th® world'srecord holder) in the hurdles.

We havegood fielders and sluggers in FredCimerblatt, Nick Parisi and JerrySolomon. Paul Homer at short willbe our clean-up batter, and WallyPfeil gives us strength behind theplate.”To complete Anderson’s temporaryline-up, used in the first two games,little Nick Melas is at second in placeof Ed Cooperrider, Chet l ukey is sit¬uated at third, and Harvey Rose andPete Conway at the initial sack.Open Big 10 vs. IowaThe Maroon nine will open theirBig Ten season with a pair of gamesagainst Iowa at Greenwood Field onApril 30 and May 1.

The lastchance for the school to see the localboys in action will be on May 26against the 87th St. Naval TrainingSchool.As yet, the team is in no conditionto meet Big Ten, or any other smooth¬working squad. The boys are a lit¬tle slow on snap judgments, but alittle more practice should give An¬derson at least nine boys who he canplace on the field with confidence. Be¬fore their Big Ten opener, the squadwill play seven games with teamsin the Chicago area, including fourwith the service teams of Navy Pierand Camp Grant.-Altho they are play¬ing a cut schedule of only 10 games,the boys believe they can improve onlast year’s record of only two victo¬ries.BIGApril 30May 1May 7May 8May 15 atMay 21 atMay 22 atMay 28 atMay' 29 at TEN SCHEDULEIowaIowaNorthwesternNorthwesternWisconsin (2)Ohio StateOhio StateMinnesotaMinnesotaROOM AND BOARD with private bath, avail¬able in large, attractive apartment, for student(boy preferred) in exchange for some house¬work, and occasional care of child.

At the regular meeting ofthe Radio Committee headed by Wil¬liam Benton, vice-president of theUniversity, the list is again revised.On the committee are Dean RichardMcKeon, Avery Craven, Stephen Cor¬ey, John Knox, Ralph Beals, WarrenJohnson, Dr. C. Philips Miller, andLillian Spencer. The research officeof the radio bureau is consulted as isinformation from OWI and from theGallup and Roper Polls. When thelist is boiled down to five topics, thefinal choice is made from the judg¬ment of the faculty and the Director,always with the reservation that anentirely different topic might come upthat makes news events of special im¬portance for that week.Speakers ChosenSpeakers are chosen by the sameprocess of elimination, the main cri¬teria, according to Mr. Dwyer, beingcompetence in the field, ability tospeak, alacrity, alliance with the top¬ic, and co-operation. If the subjectdoes not require an expert, those whorepresent varying points of view arechosen.Beginning DynamiteThe first program, in February of1931, was a daring innovation. Neverbefore had a contraversial issue beendiscussed minus script. And the topicchosen was dynamite at that time—the report of the Wickersham Com¬mittee on Prohibition. Due probablyto the wisdom of the men behind theprogram and to the co-operation ofNBC, there has never been any diffi¬culty involved in having no scriptand consequently no censorship.In 1938 the program received avery great aid in the form of a^ New under-arm qCream DeodorantsafelyStops PerspirationDoes not rot dresses or men’sshirts.

SloanFoundation which has enabled theRound Table to have more prominentspeakers from all over the countryand to publish transcripts of eachbroadcast. At first the speakers werealways University professors includ¬ing two experts in the field and one“layman.”Dramatic SketchesSome of the techniques which havekept the program fresh and made itmore interesting are one or two min¬ute dramatic sketches, an occasionalreader to emphasize pertinent mate¬rial, news flashes, and the additionof a summing-up statement. Recent¬ly the “Roving Reporter” has intro¬duced the questions asked by thegeneral public. Flash cards to keepthe speakers more or less under con¬trol insofar as technical problemsare concerned have helped create thesmooth and professional touch whichdistinguishes the Round Table fromother similar programs. The speak¬ers sit at a specially constructedthree-sided table which contains insettiming lights, felt padded slopingsides, and an elbow ledge to keepfidgety speakers at the correct dis¬tance from the mike.* Carla PetersonNew Presidentof SettlementJanet Wagner, present head of theStudent Settlement Board announcedtoday that Carla Peterson has beennamed new president of the Board oncampus, following the election heldWednesday.
