Welles AtInt House TJie Tlh/ioonVol.3, No. 10 Z-149 Friday, December 3,1943LANGE TO DIRECT CHICAGO MUSICOrson Wellos To Make Free World SpoaehOrson WellesWill Speak HereAt 8:00 Tonight Fate UndecidedAs CounterpointSeeks ApprovalOnce upon a time Bertram Russellspoke at the University of Chicago.It was a big event. Last year Illinois’senatorial candidates McKeough, Ad-amowski, and Paul Douglas spoke to¬gether in Mandel Hall. It was a mo¬mentous occasion. But tonight ateight o’clock Orson Welles will speakat the International House Theatre.Against beacon lights of history likethat past events fade into insignifi¬cance.Sponsored by Hillel, Chapel Union,and the Four Year College, Welleswill speak on “A Free World.” It isrumored that his wife, Rita Hayworth,will be with him. Yesterday morning,however, the possibility had not yetbeen definitely confirmed.Welles* venture into the field of in¬ternational political discussion is ofvery recent origin. It began last Sep¬tember when he spoke at Soldier Fieldin the Victory Week Festival. He isquoted by Professor T./ Walter John¬son, who will introduce him tonight,as having said afterwards “I was soinspired that I decided to devote threedays out of the week in working to¬wards really decent things. That in¬cludes a decent post-war world.”In accordance with this, Wellesplans to leave the United Statesshortly for South America, to par¬ticipate in the Conference for a FreeWorld to be held there.The Student Publicity Board ex¬tends an invitation to all studentsinterested in work on the Board toattend a meeting next Tuesdayafternoon at 4 p.m. in Room B, 3rdfloor, Ida Noyes Hall. The plans forthe year will be outlined by Presi¬dent Bob Dille. The fate of “Counterpoint” stillhangs in the balance. After one monthof intensive plans and spectacularrumours, the University’s new “crea¬tive” journal is still trying to find ex¬actly where it stands in the goodgraces of the Dean’s Office.One week ago “Counterpoint’s” edi¬tors were positive their love childwould have burst upon the campus byyesterday. However, at the advice ofan imposing array of faculty advisorsincluding T. Walter Johnson, the staffvoted to postpone publication untilnext Wednesday. If, by that time,some of the many authorities whohave received “Counterpoint’s” ap¬peals see fit to give it their approval,the magazine’s soaring plans will beout in the open.All Ready for PressWhen that time comes “Counter¬point” will be ready. Last Wednesdayeditor Sheldon Newberger stated inthe MAROON ~ofRce that all of thepapers’ copy was at that time in type.The makeup was all laid out. Advertis¬ing contracts had been signed. Plansfor a first issue of sixteen pages weredefinitely established.“Counterpoint’s” real function inthe field of campus journalism, how¬ever, remains nebulous. To outsidersthey state as their purpose the estab¬lishment of an organ of “creativejournalism” that will give would bereporters a real chance to see whatthey can do. Straight news, however,is supposedly outside the pale.The College Library in HarperM-11 will be open on Sunday after¬noons from 2 to 5:30 p.m. beginningthis Sunday and continuingthroughout the rest of the quarter. Waves InvadeIda; Wm TalkTo ApplicantsEnsign Gregg of the WAVES willbe in Ida Noyes from 9:30 to 5:30 tointerview prospective applicants forOfficers’ Candidate School.

CJllllft 1JS6S IllgCllllltyBy Harmon Craig“Political training and educationwere the reasons China could carry ona war when she was so poorly equip¬ped for it,” stated Miss Agnes Smed-in an interview with the Maroonbefore her lecture last night at Man-del Hall.At the beginning of the war. MissSmedley declared, the Chinese wereso Weak militarily that they werelorced to use their brains; each sol¬dier knew exactly why he was fight¬ing for China. Accordingly, each Chi¬nese Army has a political departmentto educate their soldiers in history,politics and natural science.Agnes Smedley, war correspondenttor Manchester Guardian of England,^ed Cross worker, and author of thebest seller “Battle Hymn of China”should know what she is talkir^gabout. For twelve years she has lived AGNES SMEDLEY in China, spending four years at thefront with Chinese soldiers and guer¬rillas, and returning to America justbefore Pearl Harbor. In “Battle Hymnof China” Miss Smedley told thestory of her experiences in China, andgave a picture of the Chinese struggleagainst the Japanese and her fight fora new world.Lecturing on “The Social Revolutionin China,” Miss Smedley vividlytraced the history of the Chinese up¬risings in the past century, pointingout that these disturbances continueduntil 1936, when all the armies ofChina united to fight the Japanese.Flatly declaring that industry hadbeen unable to develop in China be¬cause of foreign imperialism ai®S theinfluence of foreign thought in Chi¬na, Miss Smedley stated that not un¬til after the Russian revolution did(See “Smedley,” page thrse) ILange, Defauw Join Faculty; 1Campus Music Gets New BloodThe association of Desire Defauw,conductor and musical director of theChicago Symphony Orchestra, and ofHans Lange, conductor of the sameorganization, with the Department ofMusic of the University was announc¬ed by President Hutchins last week.Mr. Defauw has been appointed tothe position of advisor in music, a tra¬ditional appointment held by the mu¬sical director of the Chicago Symph¬ony Orchestra.Lange, Instrumental DirectorMr. Lange joins the faculty of theDepartment of Music as the Univer¬sity’s first director of instrumentalmusic. The appointment of a directorof instrumental music of Mr. Lange’sdistinction is the first step of the Uni¬versity in establishing a music cur¬riculum that includes a thorough-go¬ing program of instrumental and crea¬tive activity, without sacrificing afundamental distinction between theacademic musical subjects taught at,a university, for which "credit and de¬grees should be awarded, and thepractical experience in music itself,which a university should provide andfoster.As part of the program two neworchestras have been organized, theseto be supervised by Mr. Lange. Thefirst is composed of a select group ofthe best available talents and has beennamed the University of ChicagoChamber Orchestra. The second group,a larger musical organization, isknown as the Campus Orchestra; itreplaces the University of ChicagoSymphony Orchestra.Preparatory Orchestra for BeginnersIn addition, a Preparatoy Orchestra,conducted by Clarke Kessler of theChicago Symphony Orchestra, hasbeen organized to train players whoseskill and experience do not reach thelevel required for the Campus Orches¬tra or the Chamber Orchestra.A particularly significant newfeature of the University’s musicalprogram is the establishment of aComposers’ Seminar, under the direc¬tion of Remi Gassman. The seminarprovides the prospective young com¬poser with opportunity to gain therequisite knowledge of his craft inconjunction with the theoretical stud¬ies of the department.Choir to Sing with SymphonyIn the field of choral music, theUniversity Choir has long enjoyed aposition of leadership in the city. Thisyear the Choir is being expanded, bythe inclusion of additional singers, toprovide a chorus to sing with the Chi¬cago Symphony Orchestra in the per¬formances of major choral works. Atthe same time smaller choral groupsfor the performance of madrigals andother music for small ensembles arein process of formation on the cam¬pus. Darius Milhaud, will appear as pi¬anist in a program of his own compo¬sitions next Friday evening at 8 p.m.in Mandel Hall in the first concert ofthe Composers’ Concerts series spon¬sored by the Department of Music.John Weicher, concert master of theDIRECTOR HANS LANGEChicago Symphony Orchestra, RemiGassmann, pianist, Franz Polesny,violinist, and Robert Lindemann, clar¬inetist will appear as instrumentalistsin Mr. Milhaud’s compositions. HansLange will conduct the UniversityChamber Orchestra.Two Concert Series InitiatedIn order to undertake its propershare of responsibility in bringing im¬portant music to the city, the musicdepartment is initiating two series ofpublic concerts. The Composers’ Con-cers will be devoted principally to thepresentation of significant works byliving composers. These concerts areunder the direction of Remi Gassmann,who is instructor in music and direc¬tor of the Composers’ Seminar at theUniversity.Stravinsky in JanuaryCompositions of Igor Stravinskywill be featured in the second concerton Friday, January 21; Paul Hinde¬mith will be the composer representedin the third concert on February 15;and American compositions will com¬pose the program of the final concert.Bureaucratic FalsehoodsFlailed by PritchettProfessor Carl Herman Pritchett ofthe Department of Political Sciencewill speak before the Student Forum /at their weekly meeting this after-noon at 4 p.m. in Haskel 206. He will .discuss “Myths About Bureaucracy”. |Carolyn Friedman and Marjorie Littwill attend the Western ConferenceWomen’s Discussion Meet at North¬western University today and tomor¬row. The question for discussion is“To what extent should economic con¬trols be imposed on goods and servicesin post-war United States?” ^Page Two-T. W. SchultzI Joins FacultyA university’s reputation is the' sum of the individual reputations ofits faculty members; a great universi¬ty is one which is served by men andwomen nationally recognized as beingpre-eminent in their respective fields,and one which is continually search¬ing for and absorbing into the facul¬ty outstanding academic talent.From Ames to ChicagoLatest addition to the Universityfaculty, in the Division of the SocialSciences, is Theodore W. Schultzwhose rank is Professor of Agricul¬tural Economics, in the Departmentof Economics. Mr. Schultz came tothe University from Iowa State Col¬lege at Ames, Iowa, where he washead of the Department of Economicsand Sociology, and head of the ruralsocial science research section.Agricultural economics is the ap¬plication of economic analysis to theproblems of agriculture and food. Itdeals with such problems as landtenure, conservation, production con¬trol, drought, international trade, ex¬ports and imports from cheese tosilk, commercial policy, isolation, andnutrition.Agricultural Economics Importantto WarOf tremendous importance to theUnited Nations in the war effort, thestudy of agricultural economics hasfar-reaching consequences for thepost-war world as well. As an exam¬ple, Mr. Schultz told about pendingplans for storage of food at the pointsof immediate consumption. “It isprobable,” he said, “that each house¬wife will be able to keep in her homea six months’ supply of food.”Mr. Schultz is in a close advisoryrelationship to government agenciessuch as the lend-lease administration,the Advisory Committee on Agnficul-tural Education for the Americas,and the USD A; and to three of thefour national farm organizations.^ “Register Early”Seniors WarnedBy Guidance HeadThe absolute necessity of early reg¬istration for seniors with the Board ofVocational Guidance and Placementwas emphasized today by Miss Mar¬garet Fox, placement counsellor forwomen.“Representatives from firms allover the country have already arriv¬ed in Chicago and are requesting in¬terviews with those students who willgraduate not only this December butduring the winter, spring and summerquarters of next year”, she stated.“There is a variety of open positionsof which teaching, research, chemis¬try, secretarial, engineering and alltypes of civil service jobs constituteonly a few. We occasionally receivenotice of available personnel positionsand work involving training coursesfor executive jobs. Part time workand temporary jobs for boys who ex¬pect to be called into the service areavailable.”“We are here to help place studentsand alumni of the University in jobsfor which they are best suited andmost interested,” Miss Fox continued.“We certainly want to encouragethose students who anticipate gradua¬tion during the next year to come andregister with the office at once. Wehave many interesting types of posi¬tions to talk over with them and wewould like to help them formulatetheir vocational plans.”Senior women interested in obtain¬ing teaching positions should see MissMatthews and all men who are inter¬ested should contact Mr. Kalvin, themens’ vocational advisor. The Boardof Vocational Guidance 'and Place¬ment is located in Cobb 215. Cotton ClarifiesComplexities OfBursar’s WorkBy Helen PanaretosAsk a student to tell you about theUniversity. He will talk about hisclasses and his teachers, his activities,the place he eats and the place hesleeps, and that for him is the Uni¬versity.Behind the scenes, however, thereis another picture of the University—the operations of various departmentswhich keep the administrative machin¬ery running on sixteen cylinders.No one enters school without com¬ing into contact with the Bursarsomewhere along the line.An interview with Mr. Albert Cot¬ton, acting as Bursar in the absenceof Col. Mather who is attached to theWar Ordinance Department, disclosedthat the* operations of his office arerather simple.From an administrative standpointthe Bursar is directly responsible tothe Business Manager. So far as ac¬counting procedure and reporting ofreceipts is concerned, the Bursar re¬ports the receipts of moneys to theController. After he reports them tothe Controller, the Controller’s officeadministers the receipts to each ofthe various accounts according to Uni¬versity procedure.The Bursar does not assess studentfees. For example, he’s charged withthe responsibility of collecting suchfees as are established by each depart¬ment or office which is charged 'withsetting up the fees.The Bursar explained and clarifiedscholarship procedure. The awardingof a scholarship does not mean thatfees and tuition are cancelled for thestudent. If he receives half a scholar¬ship, it means that he pays half andthe University pays half. On thevoucher which the student is giventhere appears a code number whichtells the Controller \yhich of the Uni¬versity accounts is to be charged forthat particular scholarship. The Bur¬sar accepts the voucher as a cashpayment.Mr. Cotton, who has been acting asBursar for two years, says, “I’m farmore at home down there at Mr. Col¬by’s desk than I am here.” Mr. Colby’sdesk is where you have your checkokayed before you can cash it. Never¬theless, Mr. Cotton fits the Bursar’soffice ‘like a glove’ and he’s doing abang-up job there. Choir BeginsRehersal ForYuletide PageantThe annual Chritsmas Pageant willbe given in Rockefeller MemorialChapel on Sunday and Monday eve¬nings, Dec. 12 and 13, at 7:30. In this,the sixteenth annual presentation of aChristmas Pageant, the UniversityChoir under the direction of Mack Ev¬ans will be assisted by the UniversityDancers, Katharine Manning, Direc¬tor. The play, “A Mystery forChristmas,” was written by HowardD. McKinney of Rutgers University.Fashioned in the style of the medie¬val mystery-plays, the sequence isderived from the Biblical accounts ofthe Nativity. The Choir announces,“Noel, Noel! all is well that ever waswoe” and summons the congregationto attention with the carol, “People,look East!” The Shepherds enter thechancel in the fading light and cometo rest at the altar steps. Gabriel ap¬pears to the Shepherds: “From high¬est heaven to earth I come, to bringgood news to every home” and theGallery Choir bids the Shepherds seekthe Babe in the Bethelehem manger.The light about Gabriel fades and theShepherds leave.Mary is revealed at the altar-man¬ger, and receives the Adoration ofLight, a formal dance introduced bytwo Angels bearing candelabra downthe length of the Nave. Two littleCherubs assisted in carrying the lightto the altar candles as a present tothe Child Jesus.The Shepherds enter to pay homageto the scene. The Angels present theAdoration of the Dance to the accom¬paniment of the Organ Choir. TheMagnificent is sung by contralto soloand Gallery Choir: “My soul dothmagnify the Lord, for he hath regard¬ed to lowliness of His handmaiden.”The Kings appear at the back of theNave. As they proceed toward thealtar, their mission is set forth in abaritone solo, “Three Kings have jour¬neyed from the Eastern lands.” Thelight of the Star increases as theyreach the chancel, until they are bath¬ed in a flood of brilliant light. Theykneel; and one at a time present theirgifts to the Mother and Child. Theykneel again as the Gallery Choirsings a lullaby.The Lord’s Prayer and the Graceare intoned by choir and cantor. Theorgan announces, “0 come, all yefaithful,” and the Kings signal thecongregation to follow the Choir in¬to the chancel, there to leave thegifts they have bought, to the accom¬paniment of a program of carols.A. O. Craven, Historian, WillPresent New Lecture SeriesStepping temporarily out of his roleof historian, Avery 0. Craven, profes¬sor of American history at the Uni¬versity of Chicago, has shifted his at¬tention to the contemporary Americanscene with a series of Tuesday eve¬ning University College public lecturesat the Alt Institute of Chicago. Thelectures are intended to present a his¬torian’s answers to two basic ques¬tions:First, what has been wrong withAmerica’s attitudes toward the worldand the present war?Second, what new attitudes mustAmericans develop toward the world?Declaring that, “An intellectualrevolution is the most pressing needin America in the present crisis,” Mr.Craven added that American mindswill have to be made over to fit therequirements of a new world. “Ourwhole concept of sovereignty and na¬tionalism must be altered,” he stated,“and we must' understand that thenotion of civilization based on a madscramble for excitement and extrava¬gance is as faulty as our notions of isolationism, provincialism, and anautomatic democrocy.”Analyzing the confusion and hesi¬tation of post Pearl Harbor days. Pro¬fessor Craven stated that Americanshave suffered from two main afflic¬tions—a loss of self confidence and alack of insight as to America’s trueposition and responsibilities as a worldpower.Three major errors have been madeby Americans in their past thinking,Mr. Craven said. First, the attitudethat what happened to other countriesdid not concern us, second the attitudeof antagonism or superiority towardour mi'ural allies, and third in as¬suming that everyone in the worldagreed that democracy was a superiorsocial-political system.Mr. Craven’s next lecture will begiven Tuesday, November 23 on thetopic “Democracy and the World Cris¬is”. On November 30 he will lectureon “The Essentials of a LastingPeace.” His concluding lecture, De¬cember 7, will be on “The Necessityfor New American Assumptions.” Nef Explains ProgramOf New Social ThoughtWhat is the Committee on SocialThought ? The Maroon has interviewedMr. John U. Nef, executive secretaryof the committee, so that we mightanswer this question for you.“We felt, some of us,” said Mr. Nef,meaning some of the members of thecommittee, among whom are RobertM. Hutchins, Mortimer J. Adler, FrankH. Knight, and Robert Redfield tomention a few, “that one of the greatneeds of our time is for the scholarand the student to see life more as a |whole than simply in a departmental¬ized sort of way, which is almost in¬evitable with the kind of graduateprograms which prevail at all Amer¬ican universities. The tendency duringEx-Notre Dame'sMcMahon to SpeakFor Calvert ClubNotre Dame’s loss—and a plentyterrific one—is our gain, for a day.Dr. Francis Elmer McMahon, widelyknown writer, philosopher, lecturer,and Professor of Sociology, late offeatured ai speaker of the Immacu-aforementioned football team, will belate Conception Banquet on December11. The Calvert Club sponsors thisbanquet, which is an annual affair tobe held at 6:30 p.m. at St. ThomasSchool, 5467 Woodlawn Avenue.The tune we beat out on our brassband must be suitable for the manwho is former president of the Catho¬lic Philosophical Association and cur¬rent president of the Catholic Associa¬tion for International Peace. Dr. Mc¬Mahon is also a pre-Pearl Harbor in¬terventionist. In a word, he is strict¬ly a ball of fire when it comes toknowing what goes on in this sorryworld of ours.About a month ago. Dr. McMahonwas urgently offered acceptance tohis untendered resignation from NotreDame. The reason apparent was thathe had “called Franco a Fascist.” Andhe also seems to have urged that wegrant recognition to Russia.Dr. McMahon has stated that he in¬tends to continue his work in behalfof Christian democracy elsewhere.(Some schools have everything but afootball team, and some schools havenothing but a football team.)Anyone who is interested may at¬tend Dr. McMahon’s lecture. Admis¬sion to the banquet is $1.10.Rare Book RoomReopens in HarperOn Monday, December 6, 1943, theRare Book Room of the University ofChicago will formally take possessionof new and more spacious quarters onthe sixth floor of the West Tower ofHarper Memorial Library.In celebration of the removal spe¬cial exhibits have been set up in thenew reading room. On display are theUniversity’s Durrett and Wm. Englishcollections, dealing with the historyof Kentucky and the Ohio valley; theFrederick Ives Carpenter and JohnM. Manly collections in English liter¬ature; rare editions of Eugene Fieldand of Walt Whitman; the Universi¬ty’s holdings in fifteenth centurybooks (the first fifty years of print¬ing); and a representative group ofAmerican tiovels published before1935.The Eckles collection of Cromwelli-ana is here, and the small but highlyspecialized Hodge collection—given incommemoration of the four hundredthanniversary of the Protestant Refor¬mation. the past three or four centuries inlearning has been toward more andmore specialization. This process hasbeen carried as far or farther than isfruitful.“The Committee is not intendinghowever, to discourage careful work bygraduate students and scholars onparticular subjects—it merely hopes tooffer an opportunity for wider inves¬tigations and wider programs thanare now easy to obtain and to insiston the importance of relating all par-ticular problems to philosophical val¬ues, to the universe as a whole andespecially to human nature and themoral order.”The committee has been in existencenearly a year and up to this date 25students have been admitted to workwith the committee, which representsabout 40 per cent of the 60 to 70 ap¬plications received by the executivecommittee. Thirteen of these studentsare here on our campus; the other 12are distributed in the service and inother universities.High Qualifications Required forApplicantsThe technical requirement for ad¬mittance is the vote of the ExecutiveCommittee. In support of the student’sapplication for work with the com¬mittee, is required a transcript of hiscollege record, some sample of his orher written work, a statement of thereasons why he or she wants to em¬bark on these studies, and a personalinterview with one or more membersof the committee.Since all work in the committee ison a graduate level, students who arcadmitted must have the equivalent ofthe new A.B. degree, and are permit¬ted either to work for their M.A. orPh.D. degree. Under certain circum¬stances holders of the Ph.D. are ad¬mitted. Students working on the com¬mittee must have great enthusiasm forlearning and individual initiative forthey have to work largely on theirown to a degree which is not true inmost graduate programs.Mr. Nef said, “During the currentyear the Executive Committee, work¬ing with other members of the faculty,is working on syllabi trying to decideobjectives and what we can expect ofall students in each field. We’re work¬ing on a number of sets of readinglists, although we do not assume thatreading is all that is required. We’retrying to suggest what are the mostimportant books in a great many sub¬jects, ranging from philosophy tobelles lettres. In addition to the syllabigiving objectives, we shall have read¬ing list is for each field which are notmeant to be inclusive but which willindicate what we regard as the mostimportant books.”Help ShortageHits Campus PXThe Campus PX, after a successfulquarter of Monday night coking andjuke boxing, will not reopen nextweek. Clubs and fraternities who havecome to regard the PX as stationary-headquarters after meetings, will beforced to congregate^some place otherthan Ida hereafter.The discontinuation of PX for theremainder of this quarter has beendue to the lack of help sufficient to runthe coke bar. The YWCA, who former¬ly supplied the girls, has found it im¬possible to secure four misses Mon¬day nightly. This seems rather hardto ii^iagine, but it is the only reasongiven so far.At any rate the PX has been agrand success while in progress andlet’s hope to see it in full swing nextquarter.Page ThreeShields ApprovesNew Chicago Balletby DON SHIELDS“The Ballet Repertory Company presents the World Premiere of FourNew Ballets”.. .This somewhat ambitious blurb on the program of Chicago’snewly-formed ballet group ushered in some of the finest dancing we’ve seenthis season together with some of the barn variety for which the EighthStreet Theatre is currently famous. The four new creations, in order of per¬formance, were: “Vision” (Brahms-Nijinska), “Pandora” (Brown-Holmes),“Debutantes Ball” (Glazounow-Bradley), and the metmorphically titled“Hitch Your Wagon to a Star” (Tschaikovsky-Nijinska) which was easilythe best received of the whole evening.Corps de Ballet Shames Monte CarloMuch can be said of our new Ballet; much of it in praise, some in theworst invective we can muster. The Corps de Ballet, for instance, puts theMonte Carlo’s performance of last month to shame. It showed the disciplinethat was obviously the result of long hours of difficult rehearsal. In “Vision”however, when the corps was perhaps at its best, the male lead, Mr. AlfredFloyd, made a dull, weighty exhibi- ODP Reveals PlansFor V^ter Quartertion of himself that was at timesfumbling. Indeed there were perilousmoments when his partner Miss ClaraBradley (Director and Star of thegroup) came desperately close to be¬ing dumped on her Dietrich-like head.Miss Bradley too deserves her bit ofdamning with faint praise, as herdancing throughout the evening wasof a somewhat jerky, nervous sort.Perhaps her duties as Director, Chor¬eographer, and Ballerina were toomuch for her. Her fin'fe work in thefirst two rather mitigates her failureat the last.Holmes and Kristen Outshine RestConsistently good performanceswere given by Berenice Holmes andErik Kristen, and they, in this re¬viewer’s opinion, far outshone any¬thing that was done by the other twostars. Their pas de deux in “Pandora”was one of the truly bright spots oftha entire evening. Mr. Kristen’sgreatest portrayal was that of Leo¬nardo, the passionate violinist, in“Hitch Your Wagon to a Star”. Thislovely Tschaikovsky ballet, done tothe familiar “Theme & Variationsfrom Suite No. 3” and “Capriccio Ital-ien,” was alone worth the price ofadmission. Mr. Kristen’s part wasdone in a studied, sensitive mannerthat showed the rapid maturity of apreviously rather academic dancer.“Debutantes Ball” was a gay bit offiller that was more frou-frou thananything else.Allard and Prior Show PromiseMore or less in the background wenoticed two who were worthy of at¬tention: Edith Allard a petite wonderwhose youth tells promise, and An¬thony Prior who needs only to rid him¬self of a slight affectation and devel¬op stage presence.On the whole we think that theopening was gratifying. The promiseof a resident Chicago ballet may ormay not have been fulfilled, dependingon the public, but considering thedifficulties of the war-time formation,we think the Repertory Company hasdone a really remarkable job. With thecontinued support of Mme. BronislavaNijinska and the people of Chicagothey may yet have reached our goal.Smedley.,,(Continued from page one)^ new stream of thought flow intoChina involving organized trade un¬ions and anti-imperialism.One incident Miss Smedley mention¬ed to your Maroon reporter concerned•1- B.

However, when areviewer sees a production such asODP’s “Claudia”, she can ,do nothingbut praise the efforts of the artists.It has been a long time since theUniversity has seen a production dem¬onstrating such fine dramatic talentas was seen in the second productionof ODP’s current season.Sloan and Dickerson StarredNewcomers to campus dramatics aswell as experienced University actorsdisplayed talent heretofore unsus¬pected. The title role of Rose Frank-en’s popular domestic farce sparkleddelightfully with Merle Sloan, of“Tovarich” and “Letters to Lucerne”fame, giving a vivacious characteriza¬tion of the child-like Claudia. Herlong suffering husband, David, wasplayed sympathetically and humanlyby John Dickerson, who made this hiscampus debut.Versatility, well-known to campustheatergoers, was displayed by PeggyWagner in her warm portrayal ofClaudia’s mother, Mrs. Brown. Cyn¬thia Sibley turned a complete about-face from her last campus role, thatof Mrs. Phelps in last spring’s pres¬entation of “The Silver Cord”, andcarried the role of Julia, David’s sis¬ter, with suave sophistication.Surprises in Character PartsLois Wells brusquely characterizedthe energetic Russian opera star,Madame Duruschka, and stole theshow from the other actors everyminute she was on the stage. Nor-NorEvans surprised her friends and theentire audience with her portrayal ofBertha, Claudia’s understanding maid.Two more new University actors de¬livered fine performances in the char¬acterizations of Jerry Seymour andFritz. The debonair English Jerry wasplayed with finesse by Bill Roberts;and one of the brightest spots of theevening was provided by Fred Sulcerin his characterization of the lovableFritz. His line “Smile, Bertha,” stillrings in our ears.I want to throw more bouquets butthe stern editor stands above memonotonously repeating in his threat¬ening voice, “It’s too long, it’s toolong.”4 MONTH INTENSIVESecretarial Course forCOLLEGE STUDENTS and GRADUATESA thorough, intensive, secretarialcourse — starting February, July,October.

We’re afraidthat Ibsen, though undoubtedly the“piece de resistance” of late nineteenthcentury theatre, may prove slightlydry fare for a 1943 college audience.And then again, the versatile and tal¬ented Mary Diamond in the title rolemight, through an injection of herfiery personality into the role of Hed¬da, give the play the public appeal itlacks.Rehearsals will begin immediatelyafter Christmas vacation for “H.G.”,which is to be presented on January2 and 29. Another Mandel play, as yetunchosen, will appear in the latterpart of February. In between theselarge productions, smaller “intimatetheatre” plays are to be given fromtime to time. This form, newly intro¬duced to the University of Chicago, isusually presented in a large room withthe audience seated on all sides of theactors. A much more informal type ofdramatics, intimate theatre is usedmainly for the purpose of training andexperience. There will also be threeInterpretive Reading Contests inSwift Commons during the winterquarter.On the intimate theatre list we findquite a bit of Noel Coward, who webelieve to be practically sure-fire. Forexample, “Private Lives”, “Hay Fev¬er”, and “The Young Idea”. And thenthere’s always that perennial piece oflovable trash, “Abie’s Irish Rose”. Itusually manages to make a hit withmost audiences. Maugham’s “The Cir¬cle” we’re not acquainted with, butW.S. doesn’t very often let his public down. As far as “The Importance ofBeing Earnest” by Oscar Wilde goes,we’re definitely doubtful. We’ve heardthings about it, and it sounds as stiffand uncomfortable as a plush Vic¬torian chair.Getting back to “Hedda Gabler”, itis Director Frank Grover’s opinionthat it won’t be any harder than anyother play to produce. He professes tohave for the first time in three years,students capable of doing Shakespeareand Ibsen. Because of this advantage,the play is being cast entirely by thesimilarity of the actor’s personalityto that of the person he is to portray.Taking into consideration the com¬plexity of Ibsen’s characters, thissounds like rather a difficult job. Weonly hope the Office of DramaticProductions’ eyes aren’t bigger thantheir stomach.ODP Presents“Good Morning"Good Morning had its University ofChicago premiere this Wednesdaynight. It was presented in the intimatetheatre style.Although opening nights are nevergood. Good Morning deserves recom¬mendation and a vote of confidencethat its next two performances willnot disappoint any audience.S. Harold Patinkin takes the leadas Johnny Powell. Although he hamsalmost ,to an unforgivable extent, itholds the play together as nothingelse could. The audience has a senseof relief during his appearances, forhe does the part with confidence andenjoyment, and the same feelings arealso transferred to the audience. RuthFoley is a very smooth and polishedactress and lends to the play a subtlespark that supplements Patinkin’sbrashness. Sam MacGregor as Mr.Minnie is a little dull in spots but heconveys excellently the idea of aharmless middleaged drunk. MaryRuth Hertzman and David Cates pro¬vide the Irish element in the play.Their scene together is a touchingtaste of old Kilhenny.Background to ChinaBATTLE HYMN OF CHINABy Agnes Smedley, Author, War Correspondent andChinese Red Cross worker who spoke on "The SocialRevolution in China" at Mandell Hall, Thursday eve¬ning $3.55MADE IN CHINABy Cornelia Spencer with a forward by Lin YutangChapters on silk, tea, poetry, drama, music, food—aswell as on painting, sculpture, jade, lacquer andporcelains $3.04MAYLING SOONG CHIANGBy Helen Hull $0.76MY LIFE IN CHINA 1926-1941By Hallett Abend $3.00RESISTANCE AND RECONSTRUCTIONBy Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek.

TravelingBazoarby DON SHIELDSChicago FacultyThe University of Chicago may not have afootball team. It may not have a track team ora swimming team or a baseball team. AfterWednesday evening’s massacre it is certainlyevident we don’t have a basketball team either,or at least anything! remotely deserving thename. What we do have, though, is the mostglobetrotting, politically influential, publicity-minded faculty of any University in the world.Other colleges are content with a bunch ofold-fashioned doddering Mr Chips style lovables.More conservative institutions don’t mind if theyconfine themselves to leafy walks and home¬grown traditions. Not Chicago. If the Social Sci¬ence lecturer doesn’t turn up on time for his oneo’clock class he’s somewhere downtown lecturingto the Council on Foreign Relations on “What arewe going to do with Germany?” If the Univer¬sity’s vice-president doesn’t answer his phone youknow he’s gone to England again to chat overthe Cartel situation with Lord Wolley. When thelocal aldermanship is open five University of Chi¬cago men are ready to leap into the breach. WhenRoosevelt needs a new expert on post-war re¬habilitation he knows that the faculty of theU.ofC. is straining at the leash for the chance.Here and there a few of our faculty can some¬times be seen aimlessly stumbling across theQuadrangles Their heads are bent, their lips arepursed. Visitors nudge each other and murmur“There’s a man considering the eternal verities”.Chicago students of over six months’ experiencehowever, know full well that Mr. Loganberg hasfelt the wanderlust again: they know that he ismumbling to himself: “How long have I stayedhere this time? Three weeks. Good God! Gottaget outa here Gotta go someplace. Gotta lectureto somebody. What’s going to become of me ?”Athletics may dwindle and die, but our val¬iant faculty goes on forever. They never falter,they never age. Year in and year out our daunt¬less intellectual brigade charges across the po¬litical horizons of two hemispheres. The nationasks: “What sort of post war world shall wehave?” “What will Churchill do about India?”“What can I do to be saved?” “How can I divorcemy husband ?” And every time a member of Chi¬cago’s faculty is there to give them the answer.#/ Counterpoint #/Some time next week “Counterpoint” willcome out with its first issue. What it will be like,what its purpose will be is a question which nei¬ther the MAROON nor the editorial staff of thenew news-magazine can answer. There is, though,a wide vacancy in the field of campus journalismwhich any new publication should be able to fill.If-is to be hoped that “Counterpoint” will fall intothat vacancy.The MAROON, as we stated in this column atthe beginning of the year, is a college newspaper.It reports what goes on at the University, whatpeople at the University are doing. We deal, how¬ever, with events and nothing else. World affairs,literary efforts and the rest are outside our beat.It is in that field that a new publication couldbe a real service to the campus. It is in that fieldthat both the MAROON and “Counterpoint”could function without infringing on each other’sterritory. If “Counterpoint” chooses to presentthe University of Chicago with that kind of aJournal it may well be one of the best things thathas happened to Midway publications since“Pulse” burst upon the Quadrangle two or threeyears ago.To all appearances, that is exactly what“Counterpoint” proposes to do. Although theyhave chosen to veil their plans in strictest se¬crecy, it is hard to conceive what other line theycould take. Under thcJse circumstances the MA¬ROON is glad to welcome “Counterpoint” to thefield of campus publications. Interfraternity Brawl (oops!) Ball dominates the so¬cial scene even now...

She believesthat by organizing all the girls intoa group she can make each one feela little more important in the realization that she isn’t one alone helpingout—donating smiles, footsteps, andtime.Secondly, Miss Bryant hopes thata friendly organization will help herrecruit other girls interested in 'volun¬teering, but not knowing quite howto go about it. There is so much roomleft for so many more girls.Her third reason is one that is tun¬ed to the times. The University ofChicago girls who contribute theirtime and effort to the hospital, now es¬pecially, are helping out more thanthey know. There is a dire shortage ofnurses and nurses’ aides. Volunteersare working for the first time, righton the nursing floor, helping out withjobs regular nurses haven’t time todo. For the first time also, they areworking in the dietary kitchens; find¬ing their services needed as playladies,letter writers, secretaries; the SocialService Department calls on Volun¬teers for special jobs like “feedingJimmy”.CLASSIFIED ADSFOR SALEArmy officer’s beaver overcoat, like new,price reasonable.

Coach NedMerriam expressed hope that anyone^'ho was interested in track wouldcome out and see him and do a lightworkout any day from 12-1 or 5-6 atthe field-house. ‘Anyone who is afreshman or above is eligible and theonly servicemen that are eligible areNavy V-12’s. The group of V-12 oncampus have been discouraged fromparticipation by the loading of theirprograms with classes and study,”says Coach Merriam. Johnson Clark,however, a V-12er is returning againthis year and is about the only manleft out of last year’s squad.Frosh Report for TrackSome of the men who have report¬ed this year are: George Davies,sprinter, Ed Perl, intermediate dis¬tance runner and hurdler, RobertFantz, long distance runner, Jim Ty-vand, Robert Crander, Glenn Portz,Frank Higgins and Richard Brund,all runners. Most of these candidatesare freshmen. Buell Morley, a medicalstudent from University of Michiganwon a letter last year. The war hasput the Maroons under a terrible han¬dicap but many other schools are inthe same boat. Chicago however hasone of the smallest freshman studentbodies of the middle west.Last year’s squad had very goodmaterial at the beginning of the yearbut the draft hit most of them beforethe beginning of the year. Ran Ran¬dall who ran a mile in 4:22, and May¬er Oakes who ran the two mile inclose to 9:50 were among the top menof last year’s team. One of the high-scorers in last year’s competition wasOscar Schaff who frequently won asmany as 23 points in a single meet.About the best pole-vaulter in thispart of the country was Bob Kinche-loe who vaulted 13’3”. Whitey Laddwon every meet he entered and thenbroke the 60 yard hurdle record at theMillrose meet in New York.Keep Up Glorious PastAfter such a fine record last season,it will be indeed unfortunate if theglorious tradition of Maroon trackwere to fall by the boards. Here is anappeal to all freshmen. If you liketo run, jump, hurdle, with or withouthigh school experience, fast or slow,alive or dead, come over to the FieldHouse and try your wind on a fewquick laps. Coach Merriam is especial¬ly anxious to get men for the fieldevents, shot put, javelin, discus, pole-vault, etc. If you would like to try,don’t be shy, “I’ll be waiting at theField House” (Merriam). The actualseason doesn’t get into swing un^lthe latter part of January so thatMerriam may now be able to whip Swimming DroppedMAC GILLIVRAY AND VARSITYFrom the long echoing Ida Noyes swimming pool came the dismal an¬nouncement from Coach E. Wallace MacGillivray, “We are going to have togive up our plans for a Varsity swimming team this fall”. Upon query, thereasons proved to be (1) There is considerable difference between the numberof men who signified a desire to participate in conference competition andthe number of men who turned out. (2) Those who did turn out apparentlywere not experienced enough for the Big Ten. (3) Some of the experiencedmen Coach “Mac” had were called up in the draft.Water polo will probably fall by the boards too as there seem to be onlythree or four men interested. Water polo is reportedly the roughest sportplayed excepting none. It takes at least seven swimmers to make a team,five regular men and two substitutes. Any dare-devils can talk it over withCoach MacGillivray if they would like to play water-polo. He’s here at Idaevery Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 3 to 6.COLLEGENIGHT...EVERY FRIDAYEddie OUver WARNINGIf you are a Big Ten high scorermeeting the Maroons this fall,watch out!

Lou Dei-telbaum substituting as pivot man hadthe ball knocked out of his hands manytimes by the scrappy sailors in scor¬ing attempts by Chicago. Deitelbaumwas high scorer for the Maroons with13 points, but he cost his team atleast six more by missing free throws.In the whole game, Chicago onlymade three free throws. There’s onlyone solution for that problem—prac¬tice!Although civilians were eligible forthe George Williams basketball com¬petition, none played on the teamthat trounced Chicago Wednesday.Phil Hankens stood out among thesailor squad because of his almost per¬fect ball handling, his scoring, andhis speed in covering almost thewhole length of the fioor before thestartled Maroons could shove off.High point of humor at the gameoccurred when Coach Kyle Andersoncalled Herbert Melnick over and whis¬pered in his ear.
