COUNCIL PRESENTS IF BALL ATSHORELANb THANKSGIVING EVE%£ Tho/lOOflVol. 3, No. 5 Z-149 Friday, October 22, 1943 Price Four CentsVeterans Battle FroshIn Botany Pond BrawlIt is probable that every University has some equivalent for the BotanyPond. Almost every college must have some place where upperclassmen candrown freshmen and freshmen can dunk upperclassmen. It is improbable,though, that any university in America can boast a tradition xjuite as futileor quite as filthy as Chicago.Same old mudWhat will happen this morning at eleven o'clock will probable run alongprecisely the same lines as similar functions in years past. It will start inthe circle. Freshmen and upperclassmen will line up on opposite ends of arope; they will start pulling. Supposedly they are pulling each other towardsthe Botany Pond, muddy sinkhole familiar to smart aleck Bazaar writersand over inquisitive Nu Pi’s, and freshmen whose mothers never told themthat they shouldn’t sit on the C Bench. The tugs of war, though, fast degener¬ated into a brawl on the brink of the pool. Those who can’t seem to get them¬selves thrown into the pond jump in and start holding each other’s head down.Freshmen start throwing mud at other freshmen and upperclassmen can’trecognize each other anymore. Any semblance to organized competition hasbeen lost.Chicago’s manhoodThis morning’s brawl should be just as good, or Chicago’s men have losttheir manhood. Sophomores with sad memories of last year may suddenlyremember that they have classes this morning that they simply can’t affordto miss. Old frequenters of the Pond like Rick Meana may feel as if threeor four times in the slimy pool fs enough, ffeverthedess, plans have beem-for-mally drawn up for the Pond fight. At 11 o’clock this morning the rope willbe coiled and waiting out on the circle. A band of freshmen, 4-f’s and medstudents will be there in blue jeans and dirty shirts ready to take the year’sfirst fling with double pneumonia. *Girls Declare SchwabSex Appeal ‘^luteiise’’By Helen PanaretosOn the University of Chicago campus, where some four thousand stu¬dents gathered in an intellectual community, it’s easy for even a superiorperson to lose his identity; yet, certain individuals stand out in the crowdand their names are freely tossed about by all and sundry. Such individuals,to mention only a few, are President Hutchins, Maynard Wishner, Aristotle,Joe Schwab, Dr. Ruth Taylor, Mortimer Adler, David and Marjorie Grene,and Milton Mayer. These people are worth knowing and the Maroon herewithinagurates a series of interviews withoutstanding campus personalities. I know Mr. Schwab, but you know himT Swell enough to know that he’s neverOur first subject is Mr. Joe (The ^ x 4.-the same man for two consecutiveBrain) Schwab. According to the girls,Mr. Schwab has sex appeal—but defi¬nitely! The girls say he isn’t good-looking—in the conventional sense, buthe’s so intense a person. There aretwo distinct opinions of Mr. Schwab:1) you swear by him; or 2) you hatehis guts. In discussion sections Mr.Schwab rants and raves, slashes,tears, and rips into his students, be¬coming very emotional all the while,veering from sheer exasperation at adumb answer to beaming approval ofa bit of good reasoning. Mr. Schwabusually singles out an individual andgives him a third degree that has nouiatch anywhere.Schwab the manAt the end of a grilling you either,depending on your sense of humor,1) feel proud and happy at havingthe latest storm; or, 2) change yourdiscussion section. Mr. Schwab de¬scribes himself as an “impatient” man.Being assigned to interview him islike agreeing to a blind date with thefriend of your second cousin who livesuu the West Coast: you may feel you minutes.Feeling in a New Yorkerish frameof mind we went to his office. “Mr.Schwab, students know you as a biol¬ogist, lecturer, and discussion sectionleader. The Maroon wants them toknow you as Schwab—The Man, TheIndividual.”Just a teacher“I’m not a man. I’m just a teacher,”he said.Slightly nonplussed, but willing totake his word, we proceeded to askabout his schooling, and he told us,“All my undergraduate days werespent here at Chicago. I got my edu-datibn outside of class and after I didmy work for degrees.” Mr. Schwabwas awarded Ph.B., S.M., and Ph.D.degrees by the University. He hasbeen teaching for about ten years andat present is Assistant Professor ofEducation and of the Biological Sci¬ences. He is also University Exam-(See “Schwab’s Sex,” page four) Night F^ll; orSmotheringCampus Artby DAVE SMOTHERSLast Friday the ODP showed thecampus what it could do. Whetherbetter acting or a come down in UPdramatic ambition accounted for it,last week’s “Night Must Fall” was asurprising improvement over what hasbeen palmed off as drama at Chicagofor the past few months.If the audience had been disposedlast week to take the play apart pieceby piece, to chew it up into little bits,to pulverize, disect, and spit it out“Night Must Fall” would not havecome off so well. That wasn’t neces¬sary. Despite its minor weaknesses,despite a parade of bit players thatseemed scared to death they’d forgettheir lines in the next few minutes,the main characters managed to playthe melodrama down to the ground forall it was worth. ODP decided to for-,get about psyclii^ogical overtones anddevote itself wholeheartedly to wring¬ing “Night Must Fall” of all the goreand all horror there was in it. As aresult the audience was scared todeath. That being their purpose,further criticism is unnecessary. ;Regulated ham“Night Must Fall’s” success can beattributed in the most part to May¬nard Wishner’s showmanship andMary Diamond’s efficiency. MaryLaura Collins, as Olivia, did well mostof the time. The only other actor lastweek was Bourrie Davis as Mrs. Ter¬ence; Philip Boxman as Hubert es¬caped painfulness; Madeline Weineras Dora achieved mediocrity; BobCarter as the man from Scotland Yardacted’like Roderick Random, the hu¬man tornado from Mrs. McClouster’s'school for young gentlemen.In Wishner’s case a display of wellregulated ham passed for acting. Helooked and acted his part—callous,charming, and psychopathic. When hehad to be a comic he played it^or allit -was worth. When the script calledfor murder he posed dramatically inthe stage’s center, cringed, gasped,stalked, put across the impression* of' a likeable, neurotic killer. If goodacting calls for restraint and delicacy,Wishner’s performance was probablybad. But if it is a matter of stagepresence, of effectiveness, spectacu-larity, power, his was the best per¬formance of the evening. Wishner wasas subtle as a blunt instrument and asreserved as Victor Mature, but hemagnetized the audience’s attentionfor two solid hours.Detective story stockMary Diamond’s role of Mrs. B^an-som, was, of course, a pretty stockpart. A woman like that in one formor another turns up once in every tendetective stories and twice in everyfive melodramas. That fact does notreflect in the least, however, withDiamond’s acting. She carried her(See “Night Fell,” pag« two) Prexy Dille and GinnyNichols Lead MarchTo Del Baker's MusicThe IF ball has not been abandoned for the duration. Yester¬day IF President Bob Dille announced that the traditional mani¬festation of fraternity power will be continued next Thanksgivingeve with all its appropriate trappings.At the same time rumors circulated that attempts were be¬ing made to float the annual three way ball within the next fewmonths.BOB DILLE GINNY NICHOLSto lead Grand March."The dance will be given Thanksgiving eve in the Louis XVIroom of the Shoreland Hotel. Del Baker’s band will provide themusic. According to IF tradition Alpha Delt president Bob Dillewill lead the grand march together with his date, Virginia Nichols.. .Tbia week’s announcement is the latest, manifestation to dateof Chicago’s fraternity system’s surprising successful effort toraise itself up by its bootstraps into an active status. Last winter,when Alpha Delta Phi lead the longparade of houses into activity, pessi¬mists shook their heads and prophe¬sied that the fraternity system hadfinally gone on the rocks. Deke, PhiPsi, Psi U, Beta, Phi Delt and DU fol¬lowed soon after. It seemed as if thedays of joyboys and house power wereso many war casualties.From the graveThe last few weeks, however, havewitnessed a spectacular metamorpha-sis. All three Jewish houses, togetherwith^Kappa Sigma and Phi GammaDelta, announced a full rushing sched¬ule. Alpha Delta Phi, though lackinga house, entered the ring in the middleof freshman week. Last week, withhalf of rushing already done. BetaTheta Pi and Psi Upsilon felt thatthey were being left out of thingsand jumped into the field feet first.As this issue of the Maroon goes topress fully eight fraternities, three ofthem without houses, are rolling ona full time schedule.The announcement of the IF danceis, therefore, only a natural continu¬ation of the fraternities’ program toshow Chicago that they are not dead.At the beginning of this week theyfaced a bleak year—chapters depleted,brothers in the army, freshmen re¬grettably independent. This Friday,galvanized with fresh pledges andradiating bright new hopes, the eightevidently propose to continue as ifthe draft board meant nothing at allin their fraternal lives.Dille speaksSaid Dille in the MAROON officeyesterday afternoon: “The IF ballsignifies a new spirit of cooperationamong fraternities at Chicago.

In announc¬ing the plan to publish the books, Mr.Benton, acting as the Chairman ofthe Board said: “The publication ofthe great books is a logical result ofthe gift of the Encyclopaedia to theUniversity of Chicago, for more thanever, the Britannica is to be consid¬ered as much an educational aspublishing organization”.Three year jobThe publication of this series willmake available for the first time inone unit complete texts of classicsranging from Homer to Shakespeareplus various explanatory and guidancematerial. In addition to the texts ofthe classics there will be two specialvolumes to guide the study of thebooks in class-room manner.

It was written byLouie Levit, who is neither an associate of the MAROONor a fraternity man.)For the last few weeks a bitter verbal warhas been waged in these pages. The leader ofthe local socialist group has accused the Maroonof being an escapist sheet interested only in de¬picting the Saturday night revels of so calledcampus “joy-boys.’' The chief answer to theseattacks is a letter asking “what the hell” wasexpected by the attackers.Such heated expressions of contempt, andvigorous name callings, no doubt, attract interestand keep the writer’s name in the public eye, butdo little to clear up the situation that has givenrise to them. This is therefore an unprejudicedexamination of the complaints thus far asserted,and an attempt’ to seek a means of better under¬standing.^ There is no denying that the Chicago Maroonas*it now exists is far from perfect. Journalist¬ically, there is certainly room for improvement.But the chief accusation that has been leveled isthat it looks to the small unrepresentative Greekletter group for the only news deemed worthy ofimportance.Correct or not, those accusations certainlystem from a surprising source. For a number ofyears the University has been populated with aseries of left-wing political groups, a traditionnow being carried on by the Student SocialistClub. These groups, always consisting of a smallproportion of enrolled students, have kept them¬selves so strongly in the public eye, often throughthe pages of the Maroon, that outsiders haveoften erroneously considered them typical of thestudent body.What we are here concerned with, however,is the present and future policy of the Maroon.It should be recognized at the outset that thestaff is operating under difficult conditions. Withthe present accent on academic acceleration, thetime which reporters and editors alike can spendon the paper has been seriously diminished.Moreover, the generous supply of talent, men¬tioned by one of the Maroon’s critics, has notrushed to the office doors. It is quite notable thatalmost all of the staff members who have devotedthe most time and efforts to the Maroon springfrom that same group of “joy-boys” who havebeen so vigorously belabored in some of theletters. Anyone who is displeased with the con¬tents of these pages and feels that he is capableof improving them will find that his talents arenot only welcome but, if genuine, earnestly de¬sired.Furthermore, if these critics will let the bestof their emotions subside for a moment, andexamine the last few issues through unbiasedeyes, they will see a surprising thing. There areitems covering quite a few aspects of campusactivities. In glancing over the Oct. 15 issue, Inotice, among other things, a survey of localeating places, a report on the current ODP dra¬matic production, and an interview with Presi¬dent Benton on conditions and attitudes in GreatBritain—hardly a collection of escapist mutter-ings concerned with the activities of one insig¬nificant group.Some of the strongest critics will not restuntil the “Traveling Bazaar” has been deleted.They should realize, however, that so long asthey clamor for a paper that is truly representa¬tive of the University they can hardly seek todeny space to the column that has been, in warand peace, the most widely read of all campusliterary endeavors.

Dinny’s smooth operator from Peoria (affection¬ately known as “Swiftie”) goes down in history for hisinnocent inquiry: “What are you wearing white glovesfor?

Thereare several among the squad who haveshown previous experience. Thisyear’s team will have speed andheight, which last years team lacked.This height is concentrated in JackMarkward and Louis Deitelbaum, six-five and six-two and one-half respec¬tively. Finnegan, Furry, Freerark,Lauritsen, and Flanagan, show excep¬tional speed and inate cleverness.Other promising men include: De-graw, Thomas, and Broude. After thefirst few practices. Coach Kyle An¬derson thought that this years teamhas a far better outlook than that oflast years team. We can only hope heis right.Eight conference games have beenscheduled, five on the home court andthree away, but a total of seventeenor eighteen games will be played. Alarge number of these will be withservice clubs in the vicinity of Chi¬cago. The opening game will be De¬cember 4, 1943 in the field houseagainst Fort Sheridan. Another Chicago team faces liquid¬ation of Big Ten competition underthe same force that beat down theother defunct teams. Due to the usualwar-time conditions, the Maroon mer¬men faced the problem .of too fewswimmers to put in a showing in theBig Ten swim circuit.Coach MacGilvray is asking for ashowing now of how many swimmerswill be out so he can tell whether tomake a schedule or not. Only a fewhave shown up so far, and, with noV-12, except those in Med School, andno Army men eligible, any team mustcome from the part of the studentbody that still can wear sportclothes. Aaccording to Coach Mc-Gilvray, the hardest thing aboutgetting up a team is that mostand it would never hurt to try it andsee.”There will be a meeting for all ofthose students interested in the team,in Ida Noyes pool at,5:00 p.m., Mon¬day.Night Fell....(Continued from page one)part off well, played it efficiently,never gave the audience the impres¬sion that they had seen this charactersome place before. The parts thatMary Diamond has played in the lastsix months have not been, as haveWishner’s, of one uniform stripe.Wishner always manages to makeeach character he plays a little likethe one he worked on two months ago.Diamond, however, portrayed a goldenhearted hussy, a frustrated cockneyflower girl, and a neurotic old hypo¬chondriac. “Night Must Fall” was acredit to her versatility, if nothingelse.Mary Laura Collins’ Olivia, though,was another matter. As far as thisreviewer is concerned, a characteriza¬tion is good-when there is no need to guess at what the actor was tryingto put across, CJoUins’ interpretationwas hazy and her motives were unde¬cipherable. The fact that she did asmoothly polished job of acting makesno difference when it’s impossible tofigure out what kind of a person she’stalking about.Any play, though, that is proppedalmost entirely by two or three actorsis bound to sag in the middle. Thatwas “Night Must Fall’s” primaryfault. When Wishner or Diamondheld the stage the play clicked alonglike an express train: when the actionwas given over to the minor charac¬ters the dialogue grew soggy and theaction dragged along on its belly*Thus the third act murder scene wassomething to lay awake nights overwhile a greht deal of the essentialatmosphere was lost in a maze of gen¬eral inefficiency.PageTAU SIGMA UPSILONThis is a story of birth and life.September 18 of 1940 a lusty, squal¬ling girls’ club joined the ranks ofsocial organizatoins on the campus ofU. of C. From a nucleus of ten girls,Tau Sigma Upsilon has grown up inthree short years to a comely younglady of 21 members, and bids fair tobecome the largest organization of itskind on campus.As it is known to college girls, fallsession means social life again aftera short pause between quarters. Cli¬maxing the fall rushing and its ac¬companying pledge parties is the nowannual Preferential Dinner Dancegiven in honor of the newly acceptedmembers. The social whirl keeps asteady pace with a party or so amonth, studded here and there withextra special festivities such as theMother’s Day Luncheon and theSpring Formal, the brightest star intheir social sky. Altho’ formalitydrops out, fun remains during sum¬mer quarter with outings and beach-parties, winding up with September18th Birthday Party!These social functions for the cur¬rent year are under the supervision ofEnna Kallen, Social Chairman. Thepresiding officer of the club is PerleMindes, President, assisted by DollyKalleck, Vice President who is alsoRushing Chairman. Muriel Nidetz issecretary, while Ronnie Soble takescare of the financial details.Altho’ socializing is a purpose of theclub it is by no means the primepurpose. Its participation in extra¬curricular activities of other kinds,more than justifies its existence andadds towards making the members’life on campus a well rounded one.The club members function individ¬ually and collectively in volunteerwork at the different U.S.O.’s andOfficer’s Clubs in various parts ofthe city in addition to entertainingservice men on campus. They have also been very activein Red Cross work at Billings; theyhave contributed their services infurthering Chinese and Russian WarRelief and have been personally en¬gaged in working with the JewishWelfare Board and the-local Hillelorganization. Because of their reali¬zation of the need, it has become apolicy of the Tau Sig’s to contributeas - often as health permits to theBlood Bank. As a further effort to¬ward winning the war, the organi¬zation has participated in CivilianDefense units.In the field of scholastic achieve¬ment, Tau Sigma Upsilon is also rep¬resented. Recently one of its mem¬bers was elected to Phi Beta Kappa,national scholastic honor society.Altho’ a young organization, TauSigma Upsilon has already found itsstrength and direction. For wovenwithin its pattern of social func¬tions are the more important activ¬ities that such a group is capableof doing. As a unit it has foundstrength, and in these trying timesit has found direction. Tau SigmaUpsilon is merely girls who typifyall girls throughout the country—todo what is possible for them to do infurthering the war effort and bringthe peace—Tau Sigma Upsilon haspassed its infancy and now growswith the times.IF Ball....(Continued from page one)wiping their foreheads after a weekand a half’s intensive rushing worthyof better years.

Autumn quar¬ter is crammed with parties for old,new, and almost-new members. Fol¬lowing these, the Wyvern Pledgesstrut their stuff at a party originatedby them for the Actives. Consolationafter the quarterlies comes in a bigpackage, the Christmas Formal. (Itmay be less formal this year, but itwill be just as shiny.)The holiday mood pervades thewhole year. In January a tea danceofficially opens the season for pin-snagging. Some of the Wyverns-by-adoption have been Dekes, Psi U’s,Alpha Delts, Phi Psi’s, and some Ican’t think of right now. Pins andrings are cheerfully exhibited uponrequest.In the daytime, the Wyverns arerepresented in whatever is cookin’—currently, the Maroon (of course!) theStudent Social Committee, Ida NoyesCouncil, the Y, the Date Bureau, andseveral war activities. Last year Wy¬vern was the proud winner of the In¬terclub Bowling Tournament, and en¬tered two high-placing teams in theBridge Tournament. These many anddiversified activities tend to wear outthe clothes of even the most patriot¬ic, so the Wyvern Rummage Sale hasbecome an institution by which theRed Cross and the war-relief agenciesbenefit.The “Once a Wyvern, always a Wy¬vern” slogan is justly deserved. Twicea year, at a buffet supper and at a dinner honoring seniors on the nightof I-F Sing, Actives and Alums gettogether. More informally, alums arewelcomed at Monday night suppers,and parties at any time. One of theirfavorite haunts is the Spring Formal,at which may be heard the songswith which Wyvern has placed in theSing. This is one of our traditions;others are the wearing of yellowsweaters on Thursday, our colors, yel¬low and white, and the Pledges’ an¬nual contribuitions to our repertoireof original songs.The year traditionally ends- with aDunes Party after comprehensives—the stuff that dreams are made of—campfire singing, food, hiking, andSuperman college-style.

Htuchins, whowill be editor of the series, said: “Iregard the publication of the greatbooks of the Western World in a formwhich will make them available toevery citizen as an educational effortof major importance. The great bookswere written for the ordinary men oftheir times, and they were read andunderstood by them. In the Middle-Ages, many of them were studied andunderstood by students of thirteen orfourteen.

A pro¬fessor couldn’t afford to have a wifewho didn’t possess all the moral vir¬tues because he serves two masters:his job, and his home which is prettytough if the home master is a jealousone.”“And where did you get her?” Awife who possesses all the moral vir¬tues is a remarkable woman and wewanted to know something about her.“I got her from Rochester, NewYork, by way of Wellesley and theUniversity of Chicago Art Depart¬ment. She has her degree in the his¬tory of art.”“Mr. Schwab, do you think the Uni¬versity is really doing a good job ineducation?”“What kids get out of this Univer¬sity,” he said, “is more than mostadolescents get out of most colleges,as far as quantity is concerned.
