Chicago Raucous,Tribune-RiddenTo Brilish-BenlonAccording to vice President William A. Benton, the average Englishmanassociates the city of Chicago with “gangsters, Big Bill Thompson, the Chi¬cago Tribune, unpaid teachers and the University of Chicago. Englishmenthink that Chicago is an illiterate, raucous, relatively uneducated. TribuneWilliam A. Bentonridden city.”Benton, in his capacity as Vice Chairman of the Board of Trustees of TheCommittee for Economic Development, had just returned from a three weeks’stay in England. Last Tuesday, in the first press conference since his returnhe ranged over British politics, British worries, and British conceptions of thatbarbaric hinterland known as the American Middle West.“.The British,” said Benton, “think that the University of Chicago is thegreatest University in the world, but they cannot understand how such a placecould exist in a city like Chicago. While I was in England I visited the Uni¬versities of Manchester, Liverpool and Oxford. Liverpool and Manchester werefounded at approximately the sametime as Chicago, yet they are bothsmall and poorly financed. They lookover here with incredulity as to howit all could have been done in fiftyyears.“Nevertheless,” he continued, “thegeneral standard of English educationat this time is higher than ours. Thebest of the American is not inferiorto their’s, but the English average ismuch higher than ours. Although wehave an excellent system of mass edu¬cation, they do a better job in theteaching of the liberal arts, in givinga liberal education. The English be¬lieve in this, as they do in respect toalmost all other social developments,that their country is way ahead of.America.”Britain’s Four WorriesBenton spoke of the four problemsmost important to the English manon the street. “The first is the pos¬sibility that Roosevelt may be defeat¬ed. They ask: ‘can it be that he won’tbe elected. Englishmen attach to himan importance that Roosevelt’s mostardent supporters here could not at¬tribute to him. He is their filaminghope. They thifttr-thar^Tnerican pol¬icy is determined by Roosevelt’s lead¬ership as far as they are concerned.He led America into the lend leaseprogram and the war: without himAmerica would lose a great deal ofits understanding for the British na¬tion—without him our country wouldbe dominated by the Chicago influence.Willkie, on the other hand, is not tak¬en very seriously. They look on him asa great big shaggy Newfoundland dogwho jumped into a lily pond and thenwalked into a garden party, stockedwith ladies in flowing organdies, andshook himself.”Propaganda Too Good“Britain’s second worry is that thestories of America’s terrific productivepowers may be true, that our manu¬facturing proficiency will annihilatethem as a major productive power.” “they like negroes better”Student ForumPlans ScheduleStudent Forum activities this yearwill include weekly lecture conferencesfeaturing faculty members, debateswith other colleges in the Chicagoarea, weekly dinner discussions, roundtable discussions before civic groups,and preparation for the Intercolleg¬iate debating tournament to be held inthe Spring Quarter.Police Force DebatedThe topic on which Forum memberswill concentrate is, “Should there bean international police force?” It isanticipated that this will also be thetopic for the Intercollegiate debatingtournament. All students interested indiscussion and debating, whether in¬formally or in formal debate, are in¬vited to join the present Forum-ersin their luxurious Lexington Hallmenage. The debating team to repre-“Her third worry is that Americahas got a greater capacity developingfor leaders than England. The Englishman on the street distrusts to someextent its own leaders: he thinks thatAmerica has a much greater capacityfor throwing good men to the top.”“Fourth, and maybe the most im¬portant of England’s troubles is thatEnglish foreign policy will become toopreoccupied with America in respectto Russia. Englishmen are more par¬tial towards Russia than we are.^Unich they prefer I cannot say: may¬be that’s an answer in itself.”Respite Britain’s misconceptions ofAmerica, Benton continued, soldiersti'om the United States are doing theWork of fifty full-time public relationsbureaus. “English girls,” he said, “pre-American' soldiers, largely, the^^ritish think, because they get morepay.

Vol. 3, No. 4 Z-149 Friday, October 15, 1943 / Price Four CentsEnrollment UpSays HutchinsColleQeBy 50%iInterned JapsRefused U of CAdmittanceSeeking to unravel the mystery sur¬rounding University admittance ofJapanese-American student evacueesfrom the West Coast, the Maroon ask¬ed Dean Robert Redfield of the SocialSciences Division to clarify the Uni¬versity’s position and to state whathas been done in. an effort to bringthese evacuated students here.According to Dean Redfield, theUniversity was qdvised by the WarRelocation Authority not to admit theevacuated students, even though theyhave been cleared by that agency, be¬cause “one of the military branches ofthe Government objects to the sendingof Japanese-American evacuees tocertain universities where war-timeresearch is being carried on”The University’s official position isthat all students are welcome, and asproof Dean Redfield offers the evi¬dence that Japanese-American stu¬dents who do not come under the evac¬uee . injunctioft h ave-been ^ admitted to-the University. The ‘evacuee injunc¬tion’ cover only the Japanese-Ameri¬cans who were officially evacuatedfrom Pacific Coast areas by the mil¬itary authorities, so the University ofChicago admits J apanese-Americanstudents from Hawaii, Canada, andall other parts of the United States.Dean Redfield pointed out that: “Atthe present time some of the Japan-ese-American evacuees are employedby the University as instructors,teaching Japanese to the military per¬sonnel here on campus. These in¬dividuals do not come within the in¬junction laid upon the University, be¬cause they are not students.”J - I' iSymphony PlayexIn ASTP-DirecIsMilitary BandThirty ASTP students stationed at jthe University are responsible for the |martial music heard each Thursday |afternoon on the Midway, and Mondaynights in Mandel.

Danny BoyNight MustFall ToniteOn Friday and Saturday nights, Oc¬tober 15, 16, the dramatic season oncampus is officially opened with Em-lyn Williams’ popular' melodrama,“Night MustThis first offering for the new yearis presented by the office of DramaticProductions, with Frank Grover di¬recting.The play, a tense story of murderin a quiet English countryside, willhave as members of its cast threecampus favorites, Maynard Wishner,Mary Laura Collins, and Mary Dia¬mond, playing roles which are definitedepartures from their previous ef¬forts.“Wish”, well-known as a comediansince his roles in Balckfriars, “HeavenCan Wait”, and “Pygmalion”, is thepsychopathic Danny. After the manycharacter roles she has taken in thepast years, Mary Laura has, at last,a “straight” part. As the heroine,OHvia, a portrayal which neverthelessrequires great depth and understand¬ing.Diamond, after her success asEliza in “Pygmalion,” the brazenmodel in “Guest in the House”, andother plays of last year, will againprove her versatility as the neuroticold woman of fifty-five, Mrs. Bramson.Mrs. Bourris Davis as Mrs. Ter¬rance, Madge'Weiner as Dora, andPhilip Oxman, Lois Wells, and BobCarter complete the cast.Also special notice to freshmen andservice men, you are admitted free ofcharge.The Office of Dramatic Produc¬tions announces that casting forCLAUDIA, the well-known Broad¬way hit, will begin next week.

Women HelpBoost FigureEnrollment up to this point in theCollege has reached 300, an increaseof more than fifty per cent over lastyear. This fact was revealed byPresident Robert Hutchins last weekat the Annual Homecoming facultydinner. The increase, said Hutchins,proved the validity of college trainingat a high-school level in peace as wellas war time.The decline of students in the thirdand fourth years of the College wasmuch smaller than anticipated. Al¬though the draft has decreased thenumber of men enrolled, the numberof women has increased 20%. SaidHutchins, “the college program of theUniversity of Chicago has met a wide¬spread need—the need to complete aliberal education before being calledto the colors. But they (the figures)suggest something far more import¬ant, and that is that the College is andwill be of importance when the Se¬lective Service act is no more.”“The enrollment of women in theCollege may encourage us to believeand intelligibility of the Chicago Planhave been the factors determining theinterest of students in it.”Mr. Hutchins revealed that 2600men of the armed forces are nowstudying at the University as well asa total of 4515 civilian students.“The total civilian figures for theUniversity show what a job in educa¬tion the University has still to do,”he stated. “This is not on the collegiatelevel alone. After all, only about aquarter of our civilian students are inthe College. In addition to the load ofmilitary training, which now involvesmore than 2600 men, the members ofthe faculty are asked to continue tocare for civilian students at levelsof the University in numbers far ex¬ceeding all expectations.”“Their number is such that we havehad to take over the Armory in Wash¬ington Park and space in the Museumof Science and Industry and in theGlenwood Manual Training School.Nevertheless, even with the burdenplaced on it by the w’ar effort, theUniversity of Chicago is fulfilling itsestablished purposes in general edu¬cation.”Fred MarriotChimes DailyFinding Frederick Marriott, carril-loneur of the University of Chicagochapel, was rather like looking for thephantom of the opera in the sewersof Paris.

She might even be able to get royaltiesfrom Col. MacCormick, or the N.A.M. or something.But I don’t think she goes very far in answering Mr.Minsky’s charges. She fails to justify the waste of news-^print involved in publishing this MAROON.With all the stupid naiveness peculiar to us, we fresh¬men come from sheltered and stilted high school news¬papers, expecting to enjoy at last real collegiate journal¬ism. What a let-down! Instead of a newspaper we find a |struggling scandal sheet by and for the select few. The j• MAROON’S humor reeks, its features are gasping, the |editorials are crumby, and the “news”, itself, is non-existant. But what else can we expect from a paper whosepolicy admittedly is ignoring the war and the outsideworld entirely? Although the majority of students arein uniform, the MAROON—with celebrated MAROONclearheadedness—wants us to close our eyes tight and•play on at our giddy little game of being dreadfully fastand wicked college students.And here we’ve been thinking that the age of ballyhoodied in 1929.With all the live news, material and talent here at theUniversity of Chicago it seems to me that we deserve anewspaper a little above the third-grade level.Ruth DavidNo doubt the Letter to the Editor written recently byJoseph Minsky and published in your paper produced noend of glee and laughter among the members of yourstaff. True, it was not written in perfect English, noris this one, nor can your paper claim to be; but I believeit brought out with sufficient clarity what it meant tosay. It is usually easy to bury issues by sneering at anincidental feature; it is more difficult, especially in youtcase, to give a satisfactory answe. to the points made inthat letter. Just how far above them do you stand to ig¬nore them so completely? From my days at the Univer¬sity I remember many people, friends and others, whowould appreciate to know whether the MAROON in¬tended to be written by and for an exclusive circle offraternity and sorority members, or whether it might pos¬sibly puts ito writings on a somewhat higher level andhave them appeal to people who are not on the inside, ormaybe not even at the U. of C.No matter how much the MAROON has to suit itsmaterial to its audience, a somewhat broader outlookmay prove valuable financially and probably will makeyour paper fit to be read.(Pvt.) Ernest MondMiss Kabrine inquires, “why the hell are the Socialistsgriping?” Though not a Socialist, maybe I can explain.If club girls of the most active sort, glamour girls,no less, retire to a “boudoir” with a bottle of I. W. Harperand proceed to get plastered and arouse the neighborhoodand 25 cops, that’s news! It immediately makes theTravelling Bizarre (oops!) Bazaar. If one of the swellsgoes down to Texas to see her “Beta pin”, well, youknow the rest, that too is important. But if some BillSmith (say, U. of C. ’42) is sent over to Africa and isblown to bits, fighting to maintain the “goodly crowd’s”status quo, that may not be worth even a Maroon line.War! War! War! I’m (you’re) sick of it! We’ll protectthi finishing school sheet, the MAROON of 1943, fromits deadly reality or bust. Maybe we’ll do both, but behindthe Shields of Smothers and Kabrine, we’ll triumph in aSaturnalia of escapism.Listen pals, you’re not original.

It seats itscustomers in bamboo huts, tones downthe lights, and then puts the finaltouch on the oriental atmosphere witha powerful juke box. On the otherside of the register is good spaghetti,good ^lub sandwiches, not so goodhamburgers, and sociable waitresses.In the hinterland, one on 63rd, theother around 55th are Alexander’sand Morton’s.Alexanders is tucked cozily under¬neath the elevated tracks, has Greekwaiters, a grand manner, and prettyconsistent food. The proprietor is aman named, quite properly, Mr. Alex¬ander. He shares the profits with acorps of stockholders, including mostof his waiters.You pay for itMorton’s is far away, tony, and ex¬pensive. It serves good food andcharges for it: the genera; atmos¬phere lives up to the prices.Most freshmen are told that it isimpossible to find a decent place toeat between the campus and the lake.That’s not strictly true. If you’re notafraid of monotonous, health-giving,day in and day out provender fromthe Commons on the one hand, or asteady diet of hamburgers, waffles,and bacon, lettuce' and tomato sand¬wiches on the other, you’ll live. French cab drivers are the biggestgyp in the world. Unless you knowwhere you’r going, they’ll take you tothe National Conservatory of Parisvia London, England. After Marriottonce paid his fare plus the usual tenper cent tip, the cab driver handedwife and sixteen starving children andended up by blistering him with astream of French seldom seen in text¬books. Marriott held out for his own:when he walked away from the cab he1 heard some of the mellowest Americancuss words that the western hemi¬sphere has even produced.Returning to France in 1939 tostudy organ under Marcel Dupre, heplayed in the cathedral at Blois in thecrypts of the Bourbon kings; at NotreDame; in Holland; toasted the Dukeand Duchess of Windsor in PaHs withFrench champagne and saw refugeespour into Pains by the thousands.Marriott came to play the organhere when the Chapel was built in1928. Eight years later the Universitysent him to the carillon school inMalines, Belgium to learn how to ringbells. Jef Denyn, who made the caril¬lon what it is today, showed him how.The carillon has 72 bells (one of thetwo largest in the world) and operateswith a keyboard of oak pegs, arrangedin double rows. A resounding whackin the right direction with yourclenched fist produces the noise, butunless you know how it'll be just that.Mr. Marriott won’t admit it, but heis one of the bes organists and caril-loneurs in the world. The Universityof Chicago is lucky to have him, be¬cause he’s also such a good guy.Ti6kets are now on sale, for thefirst of the series of Popular Con¬certs produced by the ChicagoSymphony Orchestra, in the ChapelOffice.
