ChleagoMaroonVol. 1, No. 13 Z-149 April 16, 1943 Price Four CentsNo Subsidization ForActivities Says HutchLast week President Robert May¬nard Hutchins, the man nobody knows,answered two questions of consider¬able importance to the student bodyof the University of Chicago, in anexclusive interview to the CHICAGOMAROON.First: “What are the functions andposition of campus student activi¬ties in war time?” Secondly: “Shouldthose technical courses of study, suchas meteorology and electronics, whichbear a direct relationship to the war,be given precedence in modern uni¬versities, or should the liberal arts bepreserved in the same position ofprominence they have always enjoy¬ed?”Necessary and EssentialTo the first, Mr. Hutchins answeredthat student activities, of the stripeof Blackfriars, UP and DA, and eventhe MAROON, are necessary and es¬sential parts of any campus, in waror in peace. That Mr. Hutchins admit¬ted. Nevertheless, he as much asstates that they could never organ¬ize jointly for their mutual protec¬tion on a plan similar to the activi- u -jYj-ties ticket project I would never consent'Dr. Robertsonpast.“I would never,” said Hutchins,“consent to a plan wherein the stu¬dent paid ten dollars at the beginningof the year and received in returntickets to all the school plays and asubscription to the campus paper. Aproject which cannot exercise drawon its own account is not, in actuali¬ty, a student activity.”Activities DiedA plan analogous to this was pro¬posed last November in the form ofactivities tickets. It was thoughtthen that activities on campus couldbest preserve themselves by organiz¬ing and selling their goods en masse.Included in those plans were Mirror,Blackfriars, Cap and Go^n, andPulse. All those projects have since 'gone to the wall.But, although activities should beleft to shift for themselves, Mr.Hutchins believes that the tradition¬al liberal arts are so essential to thefuture of the nation as to be helped inevery possible manner. Even thoughtheir enrollment has dropped fiftypercent and many of their instructorshave left for the army, they must bepreserved for the years immediatelyfollowing the war. At that time, saidHutchins, the men returning from thearmy will feel a need, not for techni¬cal courses, but for Humanities, So¬cial Sciences and the like. The organ¬ization and machinery for .servingthem, said Hutchins, must be pre¬served at all costs.Wirth DissentsDespite Hutchins’ ruling on activi¬ties, one professor expressed an opin¬ion pointing in the opposite direc¬tion. Said Louis Wirth, “Student ac¬tivities must preserve their function¬al aspects during war time by everymeans, and if cooperative action isone of those means they must useit.” Of the liberal arts question hewas far less definite: “It is,” he said,“not thp roal —only a strawman to distract attention.” Microbe MurderNew York, N.Y. April 15, 19^3. Spe¬cial to the CHICAGO MAROON (PRrelease UHUtUS) (Ed. note—You fig¬ure out how we did it! One autograph¬ed copy to the neatest, 7nost correctanswers).Last night, at a meeting of the Har¬vey Society of New York, ProfessorOwen Robertson of Chicago announc¬ed a weapon capable of killing thegerms of pneumonia, streptococcus,influenza and even the common cold.Through the means of a vapour oftryethlene glycole the bacteria of allair borne djseases are now subject todestruction.Not HarmfulTryethylene vapour has been prov¬ed non-harmful to rats, monkeys, andhuman beings. After extensive testsat Billings Hospital Doctor Robertsonhas proved beyond doubt that men andwomen can live in its atmosphere formonths without" the least damage.Thus, a tremendous proportion of theair borne diseases can be denied in¬door circulation by a mere addition tothe circulating system.Theatres, auditoriums, trains, mu¬seums, can be made safe for humanbeings. Although the vapour varies inits effectiveness with the humidity,within the limits of 60 and 40 degreesit can operate perfectly. Thirty-fivedegrees above or below those pointsmake little difference.Surrounded—Trapped!The vapour surrounds the microbesas they hang to droplets of water inthe atmosphere and, choking theirrespiratory tracks, literally smothersthem. For.that reason a dry atmos¬phere is unsuitable. Nevertheless,thvQUgh the mean’s of Dr. Robertson’sdiscovery one of the greatest medicalproblems of all time has been solved.The multitudinous enemies that floatin the air have met an invincible andmurderous weapon. THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO OFFICIAL STUDENT PUBLICATIONWAVES AND SPARSRESERVES FORCAMPUSSimson NewIC Prexy;Plan SingFollowing a heated meeting onMonday afternoon, the old and newboards of Interclub Council electedBetty Lou Simson to the president’schair. Miss Simson, president of Eso¬teric and member of the Ida NoyesCouncil has been one of the most ac¬tive juniors on campus and will wellfill the position vacated by Jane Ells¬worth. This position, well known torequire a tremendous amount of tactand diplomacy, will be, the twoboards feel, most capably handled byMiss Simson.Other Officers ChosenElected to fill the four remainingpositions were Mary Trovillion, pres¬ident of Quadrangler, who was chosento be secretary of the board; MaryLou Landes, president of Wyvern, willbe treasurer; Virginia Brantner, pres¬ident of Pi Delta, as social chairman;and Georgia Tauber, president of PiDelta Upsilon, who will be the mem-ber-at-large of the executive comit-tee.^The chief duties of Interclub Coun¬cil are to impose and regulate therushing code for women. Althoughrushing is a year round affair so tospeak, the bulk of it has always fall¬en in the fall quarter. The new coun¬cil plans to go over the rushing rulesas they now stand and revise themwhere necessary. Because a greatmany students will be entering at trubeginning of the summer quarter,work will have to be done on the sum¬mer rushing code.Organize Annual SingAnother function of the InterclubCouncil is to sponsor the annual In¬terclub Sing, which takes place dur¬ing the spring quarter. Usually thisevent has occurred in May, but as yetthe plans of the council concerningthe date and place of the Sing haveremained unannounced. Each club isrepresented in the sing ar^l presentstwo of its songs for the judgment ofthree people upon whom rests thetask of choosing the clubs to beawarded first, second, and third places.Many of the students on campuslook forward to Interclub Ball duringthe winter quarter of each year asone of the outstanding social eventsof the season. During ordinary years,the Ball has been held at one of thelarge hotels on the South Side, butthis year due to the limitations intransportation, the dance was heldin Ida Noyes Hall, and few will forgetthe masterpiece of decoration thatwas accomplisehd by the council un¬der the able direction of Carroll Rus¬sell.Problems IncreaseThis year, the problems of theCouncil will increase in manifoldnumbers due to the fact that admis¬sion of students will be greater dur¬ing both summer and winter quartersthan ever before in the history ofthe school. Under the able leadershipof the executive council, these diffi¬culties should be surmounted withease.Student Forum To HearHalperin on RussiaS.

Ida Noyes Hall willbe the scene of WAAC Week fromApril 19 to 23 and WAVE Days onApril 21 and 22 in the recruiting pro¬gram to release more men for activecombat duty. Information desks andrecruiting booths will be set up duringthat time for all interested. ^No G^lamourDespite the Mainbocher label onWAVE and SPAR uniforms, the wom¬en wearing them are not doing “Glam¬our” work, for recruits are trained toreplace radio operators, repairmen,teletype and telephone operators, of¬fice workers, and photographers. Thekhaki-clad WAACs do similar work.Food, clothing, housing, medical anddental care are free. College studentscan earn commissions in the WAVESand SPARs. The college faculty com¬mittee checks academic, personality,and extra-curricular records of theaspirants. Officer candidates in theWAAC are selected from auxiliaryranks.Colleges Train WAVESWomen in the Navy blue train atcolleges throughout the country.WAAC training centers are at FortOglethorpe, Georgia, Fort DaytonaBeach, Florida, and Fort Des Moines,Iowa. CandidatesSelectedBy BoardNavy and Coast Guard reserve plansfor women, the first initiated in theUnited States, were announced lastTuesday by Edith Ballwebber, NapierWilt, and Helen Wright, faculty com¬mittee in charge of women’s reserveson campus. V-9, the Navy program,and W-9, a corresponding program inthe Coast Guard, are open to all sen¬ior women who have the recommenda-; tion of this board.May Obtain DegreeThis plan will enable those eligibleto finish this year’s work and obtain{their degrees before they are calledto the armed forces. Upon graduationthey will go to Smith College for Of¬ficer’s Candidate School and will re¬ceive commissions. This gives pros¬pective WAVES and SPARS the ad¬vantage of being able to enlist nowand enter training as soon as theyhave completed their education, in¬stead of waiting to be called after en¬listment.Must be JudgedAll candidates must be recommend¬ed by Miss Ballwebber, Mr. Wilt andMiss Wright, and will be judged onscholarship, personality and activities.Wilt explained that the committ^ willmake a much more careful investiga¬tion of moral character of the womenthan was the rule in accepting candi¬dates for the men’s reserve programs.“The Navy wants no fan-dancers,” hecommented.—. - .r.,—-i-Women recommended by the Uni¬versity must then pass the standardphysical examination and be inter¬viewed by Navy representatives. Allapplications will be made through theschool, and the names of accepted can¬didates will then be sent to the Navyor Coast Guard offices.Copy E.R.C.This program is the logical out¬come of the women’s auxiliaries or¬ganized by all the branches of thearmed services. It is the first plancomparable to the ERC, V-1, 5 and 7,and the Marine reserve plans for men.Although it is now limited to Navyand Coast Guard it will probably beadopted soon by the Army, Wilt pre¬dicted. It is an opportunity for allwomen who will soon be college grad¬uates to serve their country as collegemen are doing in the military forcesof the United States.Hillel Foundation(Reorganizes; PlansThe B’nai Brith Hillel Foundationannounced recently the creation of anExecutive Committee whose functionwill be to formulate activities pro¬grams in line with the nation’s wareffort.Harry Mellman, director of the or¬ganization, and Don Sachs, president,divided the new group into war workcommittees, cultural groups and so¬cial units.Scheduled so far on Hillel’s calen¬dar are dances for the meteorology,electronics and navy students on cam¬pus, work groups to function in co¬operation with the Red Cross and sem¬inars on post-war problems.Tonight Professor A.

They called themselves “the lostgeneration”. With an adolescent rejection of alltraditions, all ideals, they pealed forth to theearth what a foul, dirty, unlivable world this is.In a time when America, Europe and Asia need¬ed young people with hope and courage the bestthey had to offer was their disgust.At this time we of the United Nations believewe are going to wdn this war. In that event w^emust build a world better than that we have de¬stroyed. It will be a task and a dilemna harderand more perplexing in every way than thatwhich faced Woodrow Wilson in 1918, and it willbe no place for a lost generation.The young man of the 1920’s, they tell me,was a youth who felt that the war to end allwars was a fake, the fourteen noints and interna¬tionalism and God all a poor fraud. Making mon¬ey in America and for America was the goodlife, lamenting what a helluva world and whata helluva life it all was, the way to be intellectu¬al. That picture is only hearsay, but the harvestthe lost generation reaped is of a nature whichought to back it up.They had a job to do and they muffed it. Theyhad, or ought to have had, the education and theexperience to dredge Europe of the rubble andslime encrusting its surface. They did no suchthing. They wrote books of towering indigna¬tion and scorn: scorn against the little ordinaryphilistine, the Main Streeters'and the preachersand store keepers across the country. But theybuilt nothing: they let their chances and respon¬sibilities crumble to dust and blow away in thewind of war. Now we must rebuild them.And we cannot, we can never do so withyoung people who think they are a lost genera¬tion. We cannot do it with people who will sitall day in dumb horror at the pure ghastlinessof what we have been through, with people whoare discouraged at the first defeat, as wereAmericans after Versailles, with people who hatetheir tradition and their country and their worldso much they aren’t willing to work to rebuild it.For this is the task we shall face in fouryears: to break down the bulwarks of hate andboundaries of prejudices that crisscross the faceof the world; co make life worth living to themillions who have lived in Hell since the palmydays of Jerusalem; to destroy the constant fearand expectancy of war. Some people may call itthe Four Freedoms, others the century of thecommon man. It adds up to the same thing.It is for that reason that the young genera¬tion of this time cannot afford to lose itself. Itcannot afford to become discouraged and embit¬tered as it did twenty years ago. If we must bestarry eyed and idealistic, sincere, intense andhyperpatriotic to do it it cannot be helped, butwe cannot turn blase and sophisticated, for if wedo the young people after us, and those afterthem ana those after them will have to go to waras we do.Once before the world had a chance like oursand didn’t take it. But now, when it seems thatman’s greatest chance to hoist himself by hisshoe laces lies in the next few years, that chancemust be taken. If it is not, then this generationand all the generations following after will betruly lost. Rick MeanaDave Smothers.... Dorothy GranquistVictor HerbertWard SharbachShirley VanderwalkerBetsy Kuh Freedom From FearPresident Hutchins, in his interview to theMAROON this week, said that he believed stu¬dent activities are essential on this or any othercampus. He also said that he does not believe theadministration should help them in any way intheir struggle to keep alive through the war.In those two statements exists a contradictionof purposes which has already resulted in thedeath of more than one activity at the Universi¬ty of Chicago.If, as Mr. Hutchins declares, student activi¬ties are an essential part of university life, thenthey should be preserved. When circumstancessteadily force those activities into liquidationthey should be helped. At least they should begiven the opportunity to help themselves. In thepast months they have granted neither.Last November one solution to the problemof activities in wartime was proposed in the formof activities tickets. Under this plan such groupsas Pulse, Blackfriars, Mirror, Cap and Gown,the MAROON, and DA would have joint¬ly pooled all their offerings and sold them in theform of an overall four dollar ticket. That at¬tempt to organize and coordinate the activitieson. campus was killed, and no similar proposalhas been formulated since. In the ensuing monthsa considerable number of the groups involvedwithdrew themselves from active work as a re¬sult of their failure to make a go of it independ¬ently.The MAROON believes that those organiza¬tions still left on campus have a right, with thehelp of the administration, to organize. We real¬ize that in times of peace Mr. Hutchins’ beliefthat student activities should be independent isqute valid. But these are not times of peace. If,as Mr. Hutchins has said, activities are neces¬sary, then it certainly follows that they shouldbe preserved; that, with the cooperation of*theadministration, they should be allowed to forma cooperative plan for their own preservation.Student activities are essential, both in warand in peace. It costs twice as much energy andinitiative to recreate an organization as it takesto preserve it.It is better for the administration to helpthem now rather quietly watch them try to getback on their feet when the war is over.Co-operation or Else!by Marvin GreenbergerFavorite topic of most arm chair strategistsand planners is the problem of America’s role inpost-war organization. Newspaper and magazineadvertisements abound with predictions, sug¬gestions and ideas about what we will have to dowhen peace arrives. Public opinion polls indicatethat almost every American has some definite no¬tion about the post-war world in its relation tothe United States.Out of this mass of ideas on the subject runsone main current of thought. Just about all thecitizens of this country agree that, while theUnited States must cooperate with other nations,she must prepare now to dominate the world intrade, in military might, in scientific develop¬ment and in general in anything of any impor¬tance. This idea has been expressed in Congress;it has been expressed frequently by men andwomen high up in power in the government.Englishmen, on the other hand, feel that Eng¬land should play the hero’s role in the post-warworld, according to utterances by men of prom¬inence in that nation. And no doubt Russia toois harboring similar thoughts about what shewill do when war ends.Here, then, we have at least three econom¬ically, military and politically powerful nationsthat may very possibly find themselves at peaceconferences striving to create what they foughtto destroy—the idea of world dominance. Unlessthe United States, England, and Russia abandonall their selfish notions about ruling the earth,they may start again the war that Hitler con¬ceived in his own private plan to rule supreme.Serious friction between the United Nationsis too easy to generate, so the only post-warworld that can succeed is one of equal opportun¬ity for all countries. If the people who expressdetermination to work for a lasting peace reallywant to get somewhere with their efforts, theymust seek to estabish a world where all nationshave equal rights to life, liberty and the pursuitof happiness. ....

This is a frankperversion of the story as given. TheS.P.C. does not feel that, in spite ofhis merits, Jerry Ziegler is indispensa¬ble to the existence of the organiza¬tion. Quite to the contrary, the S.P.C. jis alive and contiues to function with Ithe election of a new chairman sched-1uled for next Sunday night. The li¬brary remains in Harper behind MissVerNoy’s desk and discussions andfollow-up meetings on our pamphletare being held.The blatant headline of last week’sissue was “S.P.C. next to go of war-hit activities.’’ If the Maroon contin¬ues in its policy of Tribunizing themeager news with which it loads itscolumns, we have only to suggest thatit may usefully set up similar typemerely substituting therein the word“Maroon” for “S.P.C.”—Maroon nextto go of war-hit activities.SincerelyThe Student Political CommissionYour letter seems to be the result ofadmittedly sloppy head writing on ourpart and a truculent disposition onyours. After a careful review of thearticle in question we have been ableto find only two items which could bein any way construed as to definitelystate the death of S.P.C. The first isthe words “to go” in the head. Thatwas unfortunate and we regret it.The second was the phrase “so ends”deep down in the article. Both wereentirely our fault.Nevertheless, it is exaggerated inthe extreme to chew the rug over thematter. The MAROON is in no waydesirous of the death of S.P.C. andhas no reason to be so. In this issuewe have published a second S.P.C.article intended to show the true situa¬tion of your organization.

This year it has been wel¬comed by a majority of campus-or¬ganizations due to the fact that it hashit home on a universal problem.

Since theresignation of President Jerry Zeig¬ler last week, there has been talk ofimpending collapse—which the S.P.C.board vehemently denies.

Merriam, Pro¬fessor Emeritus at Ghicago lastMonday in the second of his Wal¬green Foundation Lectures.Nevertheless, despite his practicalskill in the machinery of govern¬ment, Jefferson was possessed ofsuch abnormal shyness as to compelmost men to abandon any thoughtof effective public life. The practiceof sending the President’s messageto Congress to be read was institutedby Jefferson because he was such apoor speaker he felt afraid to giveit in person.Stands Unrivalled“As a party leader Jeffersonstands unrivalled in American poli¬tics” said Doctor Merriam. “He notonly won reelection but destroyedhis opponents, the Federalists. Thom¬as Jefferson was able to unite theoryand practice with unsurpassed skill.”When his opponents planned greatmeasures he took the wind from theirsails with epochal decrees such as theLouisiana Purchase and the organiza¬tion of the Northwest territory. WhenAaron Burr bade fair to overthrowJefferson he deftly played Hamiltonagainst his enemy and managed toruin both. Each of the great practicalincidents of Jefferson’s administrationwas the result of careful, delicate, andbrilliant political planning.Doctor Merriam is one of theworld’s most prominent political scien¬tists. He is assistant director of thatsame National Resources PlanningBoard which recently submitted the“Cradle to the Grave plan” to Presi¬dent Roosevelt. Food may play the determining rolein the coming siege of Hitler’s Eu¬ropean fortress. This is because peo¬ple who are undergoing severe malnu¬trition cannot be induced by eitherslogans or propaganda to strugglehopelessly against overwhelming odds,Dr. Paul R. Cannon said Wednesdayat the University of Chicago.Dr. Cannon, chairman of the De¬partment of Pathology at the Univer¬sity, spoke on “Food and the War”in a public lecture sponsored by theWalgreen Foundation for the studyof American institutions.“Food is the one form of interna¬tional currency which cannot be de¬valued by a dictator’s pen,” Dr. Can¬non said. “There is no such thing as anersatz calory. A nation subjected toa growing dearth of many essentialfoodstuffs is in deadly peril. This isespecially true when it is confrontedby opponents who have at their com¬mand vast agricultural resources.”Germans NormalUntil recently Germany kept heraverage food ration close to normalstandards by “levying”- food from herconquered victims. But in recentmonths the Germans have been forcedto make severe cuts in the rations tocivilians of meats and fats. Dr. Can¬non said.“In pre-war days the Germans madea determined effort to secure an am¬ple reserve of fats and oils, which con¬tain the largest amount of potentialenergy of any of the foods.“For after all, the search for foodrepresents one of the most primitiveof human instincts; and food produc¬tion, distribution, and consumptioncomprise a major portion of man’seconomic activity. It is only by rec¬ognizing and understanding theseproblems now that we can hope laterto find a way to meet them effective¬ly.”%BOniEO UNDER AUTHORITY OP THE COCA-COLA COMPANY RYCOCA-COLA BOTTLING CO.. OF CHICAGO, INC.Page Four — ■University PlayersPresents "Tovarich"An amusing if not finirfied perfor¬mance of “Tovarich” will be given byUP tonight and tomorrow evening inMandel Hall. Although on Wednes¬day, two days before the openingnight, it was not as far along in finesseof production as “Letters to Lucerne”and other recent efforts, it was con¬siderably more finished than “Guestin the House,” UP triumph of theyear, at the same stage.Mandel presents many problemswith which UP, accustomed to work inthe Reynolds Club theater, has difficul¬ty. Four sets, elaborate in the orig¬inal production, have necessarily beensimplified for the amateur version.The accoustics require greater train¬ing for the actors, but director NormaEvans is working to overcome thesedifficulties.The light, fast moving play has alsoposed some question as to tempo, sinceit is a decided change from “Guest inthe House,” the other production thisquarter. Line rehearsals and constantcoaching have improved the action sothat by tonight the tempo should besatisfactory.Lester Schiff, playing his first bigrole since “Candida”, has had difficul-UNIVERSITYPLAYERSpresentTOVARICHTonight and TomorrowMandel Hall8:30 p.m.Tickets 44 cents ty getting enough sharp action in in¬terpretation of his military role butotherwise has been very good tech¬nically. This is a simpler role thanhis part in “Candida” and requires amore direct, less subtle approach.Merle Sloan, the other lead, plays arole requiring dignity, depth and no¬bility. He has had trouble giving thisimpression in his first Mandel Hallappearance.Newcomer Jerry Sandweiss is prob¬ably the most outstanding member ofthe cast. Although this is his first ap¬pearance in University dramatics hehad excellent high school training andgives an almost professional perfor¬mance. Mary Diamond, who substitut¬ed for Kitty Wilson in the role ofFernande, the mother, has attemptedto continue the same brittle interpre¬tation Kitty gave to the part. Thistype of acting is not in character forMary but, since it is a relatively minorrole, will probably pass unnoticed.As the character on whom the en¬tire last act depends, Homer Goldbergwho is also assistant director is re¬quired to be strong, forceful and ob¬noxious. The first two qualities he hasmastered but the third is still veryscetchy. The minor cast members whoj play the parts of the son and daugh-j ter are adequate but uninspired.The play will show markedly theeffect of lack of time spent on direc¬tion, casting and technical details, butonly tonight’s performance will showwhat improvements have come withthe last forty-eight hours of intensivew’ork.The ever-popular Dr. Eustace Hay-don will speak on “Religion and theSocial Order” at a meeting sponsoredby the Abraham Lincoln Club, YoungCommunist League.

They willbe held on April 22nd and 29th at 3:30in the Ida Noyes Theater.Dean Norman F.

Rushingregulations will also be reviewed byBetty Lou Simson, new president ofInterclub Council.'An effort is being made to contactall those who were counsellors lastyear and any other undergraduatewomen, but Miss Ellsworth emphasiz¬ed the fact that all girls who mighthave been overlooked are urged toattend these training meetings, if theyare interested in becoming futurecounsellors. It is important that eachgirl bring a snapshot of herself tothe first meeting.It is important that girls, interestedin becoming counsellors for the com¬ing year, attend both meetings, formatters covering orientation problemscannot be grasped in a single meet¬ing. The matter of attendance is ob¬served carefully by the board whenselecting counsellors from the groupthat appears at the meetings. Thelists of these counsellors will be pub¬lished in the CHICAGO MAROONfollowing the final training meeting. The final notice for 264 men of theEnlisted Reserve Corps was announc¬ed last week. On the 28th and 29th ofApril they will all leave, as was an¬nounced in the MAROON a little overa month ago.At the same time the projects forallowing the greatest possible numberto complete their courses are proceed¬ing as planned. All E.R.C. men whocare to can take those comprehensivesfor which they have registered beforethey are called. All registrations mustbe in by April 19.Of these men a hardy few havemanged to cram a full quarter’s workin the single month of April. Mostof the rest have taken advantage ofthe university’s program enablingthem to partially complete theiri courses. As for the twenty-two sen¬iors, if their work for graduation iscompleted successfully they will re¬ceive their degrees by mail at thetime of the regular convocation inJune.This latest drain on the manpowerof the university is the third in a longseries. The army air force and V-7seniors having left some time ago, thedeparture of the E.R.C. men will leavethe Signal Corps, the Marines, the Ar¬my Medical, the V-1 and V-5 reserves.Napier Wilt fondly hopes that withtheir eventual departure in July the600 Chicago Reservists will all haveleft the campus.ClassifiedWANTED TO BUYAPARTMENT BUILDINGFor cash in University district, E.Hersberger, 3550 West Franklin Bou¬levard, Kedzie 5557.THE BEST PAPERMONEY CAN BUY.'THE CHICAGO MAROONLooking for agood placeto eat?TRY6324 Woodlawn Ave.Dtlfeloin home cooking hot mod# fhts beautiful dining placefemout.
