Davis, it wasshown that financially speaking theUniversity of Chicago, worth $125,-902,952.94 as of June 30, 1943, wasable to balance its regular budget dur¬ing the year 1942-1943 despite sizablereductions in income from endow¬ments and an increase of $56,156.05in real estate taxes paid by the Uni¬versity.The consolidated current income ofthe University for the fiscal year was$15,793,674.59, whereas the consoli¬dated current expenditures were $15,-.'148,774.33.Economy to be PracticedThe endowment income was $2,-966,885.04. Concerning the income ofthe University from endowments andpifts, Mr. Davis commented that, be¬cause of a decrease in the general andunrestricted income, rigid economyhas had to be practiced in expendi¬tures from those sources.The comptroller valued the invest¬ment in plant at $43,711,215.57,“which sum is the original cost ofland, buildings, and equipment usedfor academic purposes without re¬duction for depreciation."“As to the financial outlook for theyear 1943-1944," Mr. Davis remarked, “there is every reason to believe thata balanced budget will be realizedand the optimum point of service willbe reached this year when availablestaff and physical facilities will beutilized to the maximum.”New Projects Being Planned“At the same time,” he stated, “be¬cause of the receipt of gifts and en¬dowments designated for specific pur¬poses, new projects have been addedand old ones expanded. This has hadthe effect of augmenting the work incertain areas while the decline in un¬restricted income has required re¬trenchment in the activities not spe¬cifically financed.” /Contracts with the governmenthave called for expenditures totalling$4,220,314.74 for special instruction,research, housing and feeding proj¬ects related to the war effort, butnone of the 160 contracts provide forany profit to the University, the re¬port stated.Income from student fees, includingenrollment of Army and Navy stu¬dents was $3,312,586.54. The totalnumber of students enrolled duringthe year was 11,327, excluding stu¬dents registered for short ncn-creditwar training courses.Winter Quarter MilitaryCourse opens Next WeekStudents and oven fathers on theverge of army induction or those “in¬terested in modern warfare” are be¬ing enrolled for the winter course ofthe Institute of Military Studiesstarting on January 13, 14, at theUniversity Field house. Preliminaryestimates place the number of fathertrainees as the largest since the In¬stitute’s inception in 1940.This eleven week course under thesupervision of Norman F. Maclean,Uean of Students in the College, isdivided into two sections meeting onThursday and Friday evenings from^ to 10 p.m. The basic military course(Concentrates on military organization,courtesy and customs of service, closeorder drill, rifle marksmanship, bay¬onet practice, and map reading. Onthe last Sunday of each course, tacti¬cal exercises are held at Palos parkto simulate actual battle conditions.Fathers Train With Sons »Commenting on the enrollment offathers due to the Selective ServiceProgram, Dean Maclean said, “Morethan ever we expect to be trainingt^ithers alongside their sons at the In-*^Utute. There is a good deal of healthylivalry between fathers and sons foro^’cellence in the courses.”Since 1940 when the Institute was’^‘augurated, nearly 10,000 men, com-P^'sing two-thirds of a division, havedeceived basic instruction. During the^utumn quarter 60 per cent of thetrainees perwere fathers “gaining the^ Vantage that comes to men whosome military skill and knowl¬ edge before entering the Armed Forc¬es,” according to the Institute. All ofthis instruction has been under Mr.Arthur L. H. Rubin, Director of theInstitute, who is now special consult¬ant to the War Department.An instructor’s school, which is sup¬plementary to the basic military pro¬gram, is offered to give advancedtraining in problems of command andleadership. These trainees are regu¬larly selected from the Basic course.

When Mack Evanswas directing the boy’s choir at ChristChurch, Cambridge, Massachusetts,he watchqd the Epiphany serviceswhich, incidentally, are performed on¬ly every two years because they arevalued so highly. When he came tothe University of Chicago in 1925, heintroduced the Twelfth Night Epiph¬any service at Bond Chapel.Ceremony Held AnnuallySince then, the ceremony has beengiven every year with very fewchanges except the music. The idea ofthe Epiphany is the spreading of thelight to the world from Bethlehem.The Magi or wise men according toBiblical tradition, arrived at the man¬ger where Jesus was lying on thetwelfth night after his birth. Thenthey took the light and carried it outinto the world. In the later part ofthe service, the disciples come for¬ward into the chancel and receivelighted candles after the reading ofthe gospel in which Christ instructshis disciples to carry the light intoall the corners of the earth.With only two rehearsals for theservice, the Choir, under the direc¬tion of Evans, gave one of the finestperformances ever heard in the Chap¬el. The music was soft and lovelyfloating down from the lofty ceiling.The congregation was held spellboundby the mystic atmosphere of thedarkened Chapel, the solemn reading was the word . .of the Gospels, and the hushed har¬mony of ninety voices.Quotes Gospel“In the Beginning was the Word,and the Word was with God . . . andthe life was the Light of men,”chanted the cantor beginning theservice. The Feast of Epiphany hadbegun. After a Slovak Carol “Alleluia,Christ is born!”, the reading of theGospels began. The minister read theGospels of St. John, St. Luke, andSt. Matthew and the choir respondedwith a chant and an anthem. Twofolk songs were sung, one particularlybeautiful. It was a Negro spiritualarranged by John Work called “Gloryto that new-born King”. Everyoneagreed that it was one of the mosteffective numbers on the program.After the Gospel of St. Matthew fol¬lowed several choir numbers includ¬ing the “Kontakion” from the SerbianLiturgy and “Lo, how a Rose.”While the Gospels were being readand answered by the choir, the ac¬olytes were lighting three huge can¬dles in the back of the chancel, onefor each Gospel. There followed theprocessional in which the choir march¬ed the full length of the nave singingthe old hymn “As with gladness ofold did the guiding star behold” withthe congregation. The powerful lightin the chancel ceiling lit up the wholeChapel as the choir reached theirseats in the front.In total darkness, the choir sang“Silent Night” softly and then DeanGilkey read St. Matthew 5:14,15 “TheLight of the World” and the acolyteslit the hundred and eighty candles ofall sizes in the chancel. The Twelvedisciples received lighted candles andthen lit the candles of the Choir. Withthe singing of “Rejoice! Emmanuelshall come to thee”, the acolytes, dis¬ciples, choir and. minister left thechancel to march out. The congrega¬tion followed with the chanting ofmale voices the ancient hymn.Spring Concert SeriesPlanned For OrchestraThe originators of the ChamberMusic Concerts had a two-fold pur¬pose in mind: to balance the^ Compos¬ers’ Concerts which are mainly de¬voted to contemporary music, and toprovide a use for the newly organizedUniversity of Chicago Orchestra.They also would like to popularizesome of the excellent, little-knownchamber music in existence.Nationally known musicians suchas Hans Lange, conductor of the Chi¬cago Symphony Orchestra, John Wei- cher, concertmaster of same, IsaacStern, noted violinist, and the Phil¬harmonic String Quartet are appear¬ing in this series. Not to be belittledis the University Chamber Orchestra.Although in existence only since thebeginning of the fall quarter, it ismade up of the best talent availableand is fast making a name for itself.The concerts will take place in LeonMandell Hall, 57th street and Uni¬versity avenue, at 8 p.m.(See “Music,” page seven) Mary Diamond Starred InOOP'S Coming Production-Ibsen's "Hedda Gabler"For the third time this year theodor of grease-paint and freshly-painted flats will permeate the stageof Mandel Hall when the Office ofDramatic Productions presents Ib¬sen’s “Hedda Gabler” February 28and 29.After the melodramatic intensity of“Night Must Fall” and the delight¬ful, down-to-earth dialogue of “Clau¬dia”, ODP’s latest presentation shouldprove interesting and different farefor campus theatre-goers.

Six“lovers-in-experience” from Pillar offirp ambled down toward the direc¬tor. The pianist started playing barsof Verklaerte Nacht in competitionwith the orchestra, whose repetitionof Bolero and the music from Blue-heard, despite the asbestos curtainbetween the orchestra pit and thestage, could clearly be heard. Thedancers walked through their partsmuch as a singer goes through a songat demi-voix, and then repeated someof the more difficult steps until Mr.Tudor was satisfied.No Illusion in RehearsalEven when they acted their rolesjust as they would in performance,there was little of the illusion or ro¬mance present in real Ballet. The menwore either tights or loose trousers,sweat shirts, and ballet or charactershoes. Most of the girls wore blacktights, sometimes with short tunics orsatin trunks over them; tight sweatshirts, sweaters, knotted blouses, orsleeveless jerkins; (tight only so asnot to interfere with the dancing) andballet slippers or worn-out shoes.Their hair was tied back with a rib¬bon or covered by a hair-net, and—yes, it’s true—the men wore hair-nets,too. It’s the only way they can keeptheir hair from flopping around whenthey dance.

RexCooper, who does the breath-takingHopak in Fair at Sorochinak, told inhis soft Mississippi accent of beingpointed out as a dancer in a hotelrestaurant. A big Rusian came overto his table and spoke voluably to him,asking in Russian if he spoke the lan¬guage. “Niet,” said Mr. Cooper, andhe didn’t, either. After an hour and a half of Pillar,Mr. Tudor turned over the companyto Anton Dolin for a rehearsal ofBluebeard. As Tudor had done, Dolincombined acting a main role with di¬recting, making a few caustic re¬marks on mistakes he had noticed inthe last presentation of the balelt.(By this time, the orchestra was play¬ing Verklaerte Nacht with all its sourmight).Walgreen’s Gets a TreatDuring the gay rehearsal, AgnesDe Mille came in with a “Hi, Pat” forDolin, and announced that the boyswouldn’t be needed until a half hourafter they were scheduled to rehearseher new ballet. A little later, the kidsthrew coats over the^r tights andwent across to the corner Walgreen’s,which is doubtless used* to this sortof thing by now, for lunch.After a couple of hours more ofpractice, a snatch of rest, and supper,they came back to prepare for theevening performance. Mirrored dress¬ing tables and wash-bowls lined thewalls of the large dressing room. Twodouble costume racks stood filled inthe center of the room; trunks andsmaller racks were near the ends; andthe short, fluffy “tutus” hung inside-out from the water pipes near theceiling, along with the hoop skirts.The tables, chairs, and floor werestrewn with make-up, shoes, wigs,Kleenex ,and various articles of lin¬gerie. The girls applied their ownmake-up, including the strips of falseeyelashes which are glued to theireyelids.End of a Busy DayJohnny Taras paraded into theroom with one of the plumed bonnetsfrom Angot, joking with the girls un¬til one of the wardrobe ladies toldhim to get out. About an hour beforethe show, many of the dancers weredownstairs in stage make-up andpractice clothes, holding on to spareflats and dodging moving scenery, todo their warming-up barre exercises.Then they dressed and performedwhat the public knows as Ballet, butis really the most inspiring and im¬portant part of a full day’s job.World’s Problems PropoundedAt Chapel Sunday SessionsChapel Union’s Sunday night pro¬grams during the winter and springquarters will follow the generaltheme, “Toward a Broader Outlook.”The purpose of the series, as statedhy the program committee, is to in¬tegrate the world of ideas with thenersonal philosophies of students inorder to obtain a fuller outlook onlife. An attempt will be made to re¬late the learning of students and theknowledge of others to the practicaltask of living from day to day. Fromthis CUers hope to gain a richer, moreindividual appreciation of their per¬sonal roles and responsibilities in so¬ciety. With this purpose in mind, theyare trying to have both the give andtake of discussions among groupmembers and factual material pre¬sented by a speaker in such a way asto sh(>w the bearing of the facts tothe task of living their lives more suc¬cessfully.To Discuss Theoretical ProblemsIn this connection, the first meet¬ings of the quarter will deal withtheoretical problems in economics andphilosophy. These will be followed by^ transitional meeting on biography®nd great men showing how othersliave put theories into practice; then^111 come several meetings dealing^ith practical problems such as racedelations, the cause and growth of op¬pression and its cure, and juvenile de¬ linquency. Following this will be dis¬cussions of the national and interna¬tional viewpoints of the problemsdealt with, the ideals of man, and theproblem of spreading ideas after con¬clusions have been reached.Krueger is First SpeakerMaynard C. Krueger, assistant prorfessor of economics in the College,will be the first speaker of the quar¬ter, ■ addressing the Chapel Unionmeeting next Sunday on “Moral As¬pects of Economic Policy.”To give students an opportunity todiscuss among themselves the ideaspresented at the meetings, severaloutings will be held.

I.--,”®)/*THE CHICAGO MAROON ■Page ThreeMcMahon Happy OverChicago AppointmentLast Monday Francis MacMahontook his place on the faculty of theUniversity of Chicago. He came tothe Midway without any of the fan¬fare which has attended his actionsin the past few months. Quietly enter¬ing the ranks of Chicago's professors,he commenced to instruct his Humani¬ties 2 students in the intricacies of thephilosophy of David Hume.Dr. MacMahon is a well-built 150pound Irishman. He talks in a high,rather explosive voice, his square cutface, his mobile hands, his deep-seteyes all joining in expressing what hewants to say. At first appearances heseems a cross between a lightweightprize-fighter and a well-fed FrankSinatra. Absent-minded, a bachelor,philosopher, and lecturer, MacMahonis superficially, a run of the millfaculty member.MacMahon is preoccupied by twofundamental issues. First is the phi¬losophy of Saint Thomas Acquinas.He calls himself an Acquinan, declaresthat the majority of philosophers inAmerica today are the same. His li¬brary is devoted to a considerable ex¬tent to the works and commentariesof the medieval Saint.His other interest is the futheranceof the same cause for which he wasevicted from the University of NotreDame, the Catholic liberalism of whichhe has been eloquent champion ever since Hitler’s shadow first struttedacross the European stage. In the faceof hierachial disapproval, MacMahonhas earned an outstanding position inthe ranks of America’s unappeasableenemies of Naziism. That position hasbeen enlarged tremendously duringthe past few months.For Dr. MacMahon, his coming toChicago has been the best thing thatcould possibly have happened to him.“In my case, it’s a question of lifebegins at 37.” Since his departurefrom South Bend a publishing com¬pany has approached him regardinga book to be published sometime dur¬ing the year, the New York Post hassigned a contract for a weekly col¬umn, fan mail of Hollywood propor¬tions has come in from all over thecountry, and women’s clubs havesquabbled with each other over theprivilege of seeing the famous pro¬fessor of philosophy.Nevertheless, MacMahon entered hisnew duties last week inspired with anearnest desire to please. He took everyopportunity to ask students of hisacquaintance about the course he wasto instruct: how other teachers wentabout the job, what the students want¬ed to get out of it, how much timewas spent on different works, whatwas the object of the survey and thegeneral nature of the comprehensives,what was the line he should take with “Counterpoint” PhotoFRANCIS MacMAHON. . life begins at 37”the works that came up.For a professor evicted from hisuniversity, MacMahon is, this week,an extraordinarily happy man. Hejokes about his tilts with Hutchinsbefore the war when he called hispresent employer a “dreamy idealist.”He likes the atmosphere of the Univer¬sity, is eager to learn as much aboutit as possible. Living in the weather¬beaten Gladstone Hotel on 62nd andKenwood, he is even enthusiasticabout that. “I was born here on theWest Side, and I went to De Paul upNorth. The South Side is ,the onlypart of Chicago that I don’t know any¬thing about.”As MacMahon took his place at theUniversity last week he faced thedual responsibility of doing his job inthe Humanities department and ofcontinuing his fight against reactionand Naziism all over the world. Withlis record behind him, MacMahon willnot find it an impossible undertaking.Stravinsky ForSecond ConcertThe second of the contemporarycomposers’ concerts, featuring IgorStravinsky, will be presented January21 at 8 p.m. in Leon Mandel Hall.Mr. Stravinsky, world-famed com¬poser and recent guest conductor ofthe Boston Symphony Orchestra, willspeak under the auspices of the Wil¬liam Vaughn Moody Foundation inMandel Hall Thursday evening, Jan¬uary 20, at 8 p.m. Friday he will con¬duct his own suite, “The Storyof a Soldier” L’histoire du Sol-dat. This is uniquely arranged to beplayed by a seven piece Chamber or¬chestra of Chicago Symphony menconsisting of a clarinet, bassoon,trumpet, trombone, percussion, violinand double bass. The piece was writ¬ten during the last war and is basedon a story of a soldier and his violinby C. F. Ramuz.“Concerto For Two Pianos”, an¬other piece on the program, was writ¬ten in Paris and played by Stravin¬sky and his son all ovei^ Europe withconsiderable acclaim. Willard Mac¬Gregor of New York, in his first Chi¬cago appearance, will duo with thecomposer on this occasion.The third selection is “Duo Con-certante” for violin and piano.

Gilkey TalksOn EpiphanySunday, January 9, Dean CharlesW. Gilkey will open the winter quar¬ter’s series of chapel services with asermon titled “The Light of TheWorld”. Dean Gilkey will give the his¬tory of the Epiphany candle lightingservice which was held Wednesdaynight.This old custom of lighting almost ahundred candles on Twelfth Nightoriginated in England and was con¬sidered by some to be even more im¬portant than Christmas.

Cynthia Sibley.Nancy Smith.A Quarterly SurveyAn editor’s report to the campus: At the be¬ginning of this year we said in this column thatit was the MAROON’s job to observe what washappening to the University of Chicago as it laybeached by the war. This, the first issue of thequarter, seems the best time of any to do it.The autumn quarter which wound itself uptwo weeks ago was the first real live taste of warthe Quadrangles had really had. Last year wewere still waiting—waiting to go into the army,waiting to see what would happen to our actiyi-ties, studies, fraternities. Co-ops, friends—^wait¬ing to see what was going to happen to our lives.Now it is different. We’ve gotten used to it.We’ve gotten used to the idea of hpging aroundschool when we wish we were doing somethingelse, or wondering what’s happened to peoplewe knew six months ago and have gone away, oftrying to live a normal life in a quicksand of un¬certainty or leading a war-time life when wedidn’t know how to go about it. The War has lostits newness.What, then, is the final balance sheet?The whole atmosphere of the University haschanged. We’re still going to classes, bnt there’smore soldiers and sailors on the campus thanthere are of us. They form a backdrop to every¬thing we do. They live in a remote world apartbut they hijack our women.- We see them every¬where but we don’t know any of them. We don’tknow why they’re here or what they’re doing orwhere they’re going, but we know that they havebecome the most important factor at the Univer¬sity where we’re supposed to be students.We don’t know how we should act in the situ¬ation, so we go to extremes. We throw ourselveswholeheartedly into political organizations with¬out really understanding them. We figure studiesare unimportant in times like these, what withthe draft and everything, so we sit around andtry to have a good time. We reason that just be¬cause there’s a war on we shouldn’t have to siton our spinal column and brood about it—justas well to go to all the parties that are given,drink all the liquor there is, and raise as muchhell as we can. Whatever we do, it always seemsas if there was something much better.The old framework still stands waiting forsomebody to come back and build the walls again.The big gun activities still go through most ofthe motions, just to keep things oiled until afterthe war.The essentials don’t change, though. The Uni¬versity itself is unchanged. In the interim plansare being made for terrific innovations after thewar—to tear Cobb down; erect a new buildingin its place on Ellis. Chicago is a relatively younguniversity, and it is still growing.To a great many people this university is thegreatest in the world. If they could see it nowthey would in no way be chsillusioned. CertainlyChicago’s scholastic excellence has not dimin¬ished; five or six new professors have enteredthe faculty since September including O’Mearaof Fordham and MacMahon of Notre Dame. Thisweek Dr. Luckhardt was awarded the CallahanMemorial prize. Last quarter a cure for tubercu¬losis was perfected in Billings Hospital. At thesame time the University is carrying a full timeload of war work on its shoulders, expanding theenrollment of the four year college, housing overfive thousand servicemen, continually branchingout into new scholastic fields. Although Chica¬go’s students may be confused, the University isnot.It is impossible, from the vantage point of adesk in Lexington Hall, to see truthfully what ishappening to the University in these times. Whatcan be gathered from press releases, personal ex¬periences, and Bazaar writers is a small andpretty narrow slice of what everybody at thisUniversity is going through.All we know is what everybody knows: thatthe post-war Chicago will not be the Chicago ofthe 1930’s. Whether it will be a better, finerplace to study in depends on whether the world isa better, finer place to live in. This Week On CampusJanuary 7, Friday—Basketball—Chicago vs. Purdue.

It will be a man who hasdone more to broadcast the name of this institu¬tion across America than any other living man,excluding President Hutchins. It will be CoachAmos Alonzo Stagg.The majority of the students at Chicagodon’t remember Stagg. They weren’t on the Mid¬way when his teams earned the Maroon squadthe reputation of a 30-cylinder powerhouse. Theycan’t recall the days when the headline “StaggFears Purdue” was a national sports writer’sjoke. They weren’t going to College when the on¬ly slogan Northwestern could muster on the eveof a Chicago game was the hopeless “Northwes¬tern fights”. They can’t remember the days whenStagg Field was the home of the greatest teamsthat ever hit a gridiron.If there is any name at this Universitywhich has assumed the proportions of a tradi¬tion, it is Stagg’s. We sing about him in ourdrinking songs: “Here’s to the old man, the bestcoach in this land;” “He’s a grand old Stagg;”“With the grand old man to lead them” and therest. Though there isn’t an undergraduate on theQuadrangles who can remember Stagg’s halycondays, his name and his tradition have been cuton the stones of every building on this campus.When Stagg came back to Chicago last Tues¬day, hardly one student in the University paidthe slightest attention. When he visited StaggField, not one freshman or sophomore saw him.Although he has been at the Windemere Hotel,hardly ten blocks away from here, for the pastthree days, we of the University haven’t paidthe slightest attention.This noon the student body will have itschance. If, when Coach Stagg arrives on theQuadrangles today, the only people to meet himwill be forty year old alumni and graduate C-men, it will be just as well that football did leaveChicago. Its true significance didn’t mean any¬thing, anyway. LETTERS TO THE EDITORTo the Editor:The Chicago Maroon seems to begoing the way of football at the Uni¬versity of Chicago. We can well dowithout the games, but we hate to seethe campus paper degenerate. What’swrong with it is reflected in the at¬titude of the students.What’s wrong with the ChicagoMaroon? First, there’s the muchtalked of, but still continuing “soror¬ity-fraternity” small talk which cov¬ers most of the pages. The staff re¬peatedly-makes-something big out ofsomething small in a narrow-mindedinterest from a broad-minded univer¬sity. The absolutely insigniflcant partwhich these organizations play heredoes not warrant such notice. Atten¬tion should be given not only to thelarger clubs but the special groupslike the chemistry and math clubs,which the Maroon ignores. The activ¬ities of Swift as well of those of IdaNoyes should be covered. The rest ofthe students—the great majority—belong to no organization at all. Theystill want to ‘know what goes on oncampus; by that they mean the labs orthe classics teas..The small amount of matter, be¬sides its subject is also discouraging.Before we even start to read we won¬der how many activities on campuscan be covered in three pages.We are also unhappy about thesimple-minded presentation of suchimportant matters as the new musicprogram and the news about McMa¬hon. This is behind even our youth¬ful years.Oh yes—distribution! Even a Med¬ici said that everything is not forsale: he must have attempted to pur¬chase a Maroon. Many students wishto buy a copy on Friday just becauseit is the campus paper. Some find oneafter searching; some are completelyfrustrated.The attitude of the students re¬flects these errors. They are not eveninterested enough to discuss it. It issimple contempt for a paper thatdoesn’t represent the campus, has nonews, and isn’t even an organ forsome nice healthy factions. Otherschool papers (the Illini, for instance)get our admiration. Smaller schoolsalso are able to publish somethingwhich is at least representative ofthemselves! This attitude of the stu¬dents was rather striking the otherday in one of the Harper libraries.One of the boys that works there, atransfer student from Ontario, had arecent edition of his school paper onthe desk. One after another studentspicked it up and read it: features,editorials, and even strictly campusnews. It was the most popular pieceof literature in the place. There wasalso a Maroon on that desk. Not oneperson attempted to compare them.I think we would hate to see theMaroon go—to be without a paper.But, if the only alternative to this isthe Maroon in its present state, Ishall be the first to say farewell tothe corpse.Sincerely,Ruth Herman The MAROON as a College publication should have certain aims ampolicies. These being: To give thtypical student an eye-to-eye recording of the social happenings and extra-curricular activities of his schoolThis should be done without caterinito'any picked group or class of students. To inform the student of anhappenings in the school which mainterest or concern him. To develothe student’s interest in certain field(as in musical or dramatic appreciation). To give one a complete and unembellished view of the campus happenings in general and to announcany occasion that is likely to be important to him.To certain of the students on campus, the present MAROON fills thesneeds, but this is a small group operhaps four hundred students, thfraternity and club groups. The remaining ninety-five per cent havtheir needs neglected by the policof the MAROON now in evidence. Iis my hope that the staff of the papewill, in the future, remember the majority of the students on campus amgive them a paper of interest and imuch better coverage of happeningon the Quadrangles.In criticizing the MAROON I realize many of the problems confrontiniyou, but I am sure that I cannot kno\them all; so that this letter will probably be inadequate inasmuch as mrecognition of your problems is inadequate. Yet, as a reader, I am anxiously awaiting a publication at the University of Chicago that will fullfi;requirements mentioned above.Trusting you to accept these suggestions I remainSincerely yours.Grant W. UrryTo the Editor:Knowing you to be concerned as tothe reception your paper is affordedfrom it’s readers, I am informing youas to my individual opinion of it. Indoing so I hope that you will not takeit as an opinion of an expert; for itis not. Rather, it is the opinion of onewhose capabilities are rather limitedin the field of publications. I do, how¬ever, have the faculties necessary forone to note whether or not he is in¬terested in an object. With this ex¬planation I hope that you have qual¬ified me as an ordinary reader ofyour sheet.

The result is one of the strangestmotion pictures ever created.Betty Field, aided by Robert Cummings, plays ex¬pertly the ugly girl whose face became beautiful beneatha Mardi Gras niS’sk. Edward G. Robinson squirms artis¬tically as the man who was tortured by the predictions ofa fortune teller. Thomas Mitchell, as the clairvoyant,was rather frightening and very convincing.Charles Boyer (that Swedish accent WILL out) ham¬med delightfully as the tight-rope walker who wastroubled by dreams of falling, finally found the girl heliterally dreamed up, Barbara Stanwyck:Benchley winds things up a la Benchley, and as youleave the theatre chuckling, you find yourself watchingalleys for black cats.SAHARA.. .This one is a setup—five or ten allieshold off 150 Nazis—a lone tank battles its way throughthe German lines—a fadeout shot of captured Germansthat makes Sergeant York look like a mamby-pamby.Humphrey Bogart is tough, dirty, and unshaven asusual—one of these hard-as-nails sergeants with a heartof gold and a penchant for oratory when the script callsfor it. Other characters: a gigantic black corporal of theBritish Sudan troops; a half-scared, half-noble Italianprisoner! a Frenchman who fought in Spain and knowswhat Germans are like; an ex-linotype operator who hasa plan for irrigating the desert.“Sahara” is a better than average product of thelost patrol-man against the elements school. It doesn’tencumber itself with propaganda or flag waving. Thesoldiers don’t act like a lot of eagle scouts out on a hike.The script isn’t packed with cloying digressions on “thisis what we’re fighting for.” Stacked up, “Sahara” is ahardhitting digression on a good theme. It starts to showwhat fighting men are like and doesn’t end up with Bo¬gart clasping the nearest girl handy to his breast. Carroll Atwater and Bill Erlandson Page FiveWhat Price SanityThe New Year looks like a promising one—it blew right in with thatperennial report that Mr. Hutchins and Mr. Adler are definitely receivinginstructions for the Church. And this time it must be true, because the personwho started it overheard it in a bar where two priests were discussing it.« « «Amidst the gay caperings of Chicago’s population on State Street NewYear‘s Eve which included, of course, a quartet playing “Pistol Packin’ Ma¬ma” on their tin horns, we observed a lonely newshawk with his arms uprais¬ed singing in a voice filled with pathos, “I Ain’t Got Nobody.”♦ ♦ ♦A faculty wife wandered casually into the kitchen one evening to checkup on the dish-drying of her'13-year-old daughter and a crony who is a fresh¬man at the University. She was just in time to hear the University girl ex¬plaining the difference between a couple of terms which are seldom heardoutside a psychoanalyst’s office. “Why, you know you’re just lost at the Uni¬versity if you haven’t read Freud when you get there,” the freshman con¬cluded.* ♦ ♦Exasperation is one of the most contagious of emotions—and we havetwo stories dealing with it. The first is about a dapper young streetcar con¬ductor on the 63rd and Dorchester line. A car got in front of him and droveslowly for a block or two, while he banged furiously on his bell. The car turn¬ed, and the streetcar stopped. The conductor opened the door and leaned outmalevolently; then, fuming, he resumed his conducting. At the next block atruck got in front of him. The truck inched along with evil determination. Theconductor banged again. The tmek crawled on, and at the third corner turned.This time the dapper conductor opened the door and yelled out, “God damnyou!” He proceeded to jump out of the car and run after the truck, shaking adefiant fist and shouting insults. He returned smiling shyly, and the passen¬gers settled back satisfied.* ♦ «The other story is about the Maroon columnist who stomped into the of¬fice one 5-below-zero morning, red-faced and furious. He had gotten on astreetcar that turned in the wrong direction and when he found it out he wasso annoyed that he got off and walked for two miles just to show the street¬car!♦ ♦ J|eWe add a program note for the ballet season: a large and very long¬haired family was raving about tours and entrechats the other night while ablase son of the family thumbed idly over the pages of Superman.Lolly KabrinePlush And TunaPlush and Tuna, as a neophyte feature, got started after the ballet aweek ago Sunday when Dave, in his usual basso profundo and gin fizz, cagilysaid, “Lolly”, he said, “We want a brand new column this quarter—nothingcampusy, that’s Don’s; nothing movie, that’s Nancy’s; nothing clever, that’sCarroll’s; nothing intelligent, that’s Muriel’s—just something different.”Naively, and on the outside of a rum collins, I chortled, “May I?” After amore hasty than usual christening of champagne bottle over victim’s headand launching out to sea, I approached 1944 under the burden of a campus¬less, movieless, cleverless, intelligentless column—and, need I add, very much“at sea”. Not until the memorable bacon and tomato sandwich at Stineway’slast week did inspiration strike. Let’s call it Plush and Tuna and pattern iton the principle of the organization of that name—intellect and dialect; Bach,boogie and ballet. Things appealing from Sinatra on down to Offenbach andon up to Rachmaninoff. The idea sounds nice; the prospect of turning out aweekly portion of intelligentless, cleverless patter incites aspirin at best. “Pand T” may not be at best, but it will try anyway...George Hurok’s Ballet Theatre departed from the Civic last Sunday un¬fortunately retaining Paul Petroff in the cast. Not that I have anythingagainst Mr. Petroff—in fact I’m sure that as a waiter at the Grill he wouldbe one of the most graceful, but God! those pseudo-turns! those gazelle leaps!those balletless walks!

It’s smok¬ing. “Happy lamp”, he retorted.. .Unhappy Woman, L.K.Page SixArmed ForcesKeeping Army RunningIs Big Job For A.S.T.P.Most civilians who have given thematter any thought doubtless havecome to the conclusion that the effortsof a very considerable force of out¬side professional housekeeping per¬sonnel are necessary to keep the in¬terior of the massive 124th Field Ar¬tillery Armory in the spic and spancondition which is the hallmark ofthe United States Army posts where-ever situated—now that the huge pileof concrete has become a center of theArmy Specialized Training Programin Areas and Languages for the Uni¬versity of Chicago.Mechanical street-sweeping equip¬ment, the most efficience in vacuumcleaning devices, electric floor polish¬ers all seem indicated as required todo the exacting job of wholesalehousekeeping called for by the situa¬tion.Domestic LinguistsThe fact is, of course, that every¬where in the Army the details fallupon the not-too-willing shoulders ofthe soldier linguists who make up thespecialized training companies housedin the cavernous structure at 52ndstreet and Cottage Grove Avenue. Theofficers of the 3653rd Service Unitstationed on the Midway, who areresponsible for the efficient adminis¬tration at the University ofvChicagoof the Areas and Language studies,eng:ineering, medical and other lessmentioned programs have made, ofcourse, a conscious and continued ef¬fort to keep such tasks to a minimum.This consideration is dictated in largepart by the fact that the soldiers incompanies studying Asiatic languagesfind their waking hours so filled witha succession of language classes,studies in economic and physical geog¬raphy, and periods of military in¬struction in those mysterious mattersdeemed essential to a well-roundedmilitary education, that there are fewminutes left for the housewifely ac¬tivities. But it is the theory of theArmy that even a few minutes, ifproperly utilized, make all the differ¬ence between living quarters whichare neat and clean, and living quar¬ters which are nothing of the sort.Stone Walls Do Not . . .The Armory is not a dormitory,carries not even a faint resemblanceto the other ASTP quarters locatedmore centrally to the campus. Themen do not live in private rooms. Onthe contrary, they sleep the night instone vaulted areas which maintaintheir own motif by possessing stonefloors and stone walls.

While on the subject of lan¬guage, it is interesting to note thatwhile at the STAR unit in Laramie,Wyoming, Clemeshaw taught himselfTurkish. He prepared 1200 vocabularycards; and when he learned that aGreek friend from one of his old out-fits, the 66th Signal Battalion, wasstudying the language at IndianaUniversity, our T/4 mailed his oldbuddy the cards. And so another gooddeed was done.In civilian life Clemeshaw workedas a printer for about seven years andbecame familiar with all the opera¬tions in that fascinating business. Alittle of his time was spent as a print¬er s devil, most of his time was spentin make-up, imposition, and special¬izing in type faces. Later on he work¬er as a clerk with the department ofmotor vehicles in San Francisco.While at the University of California,he tutored German, read to blind stu¬dents, and even did a bit of “ghostwriting.”Clemeshaw’s Army career began onNovember 25, 1940, when he joinedthe California National Guard. InMarch of 1941, his division was or¬dered into federal service, and so Pvt.Clemeshaw packed his barracks bagsand headed for Camp San Luis Obispowhere he underwent training until theoutbreak of the war, at which timehis unit moved into the field formaneuvers. He was by this time acorporal in the headquarters company,79th Infantry Brigade, which laterbecame a part of the Cavalry. Ascompany clerk in the brigade, andlater as troop clerk, he became knownas “A.R.” Clemeshaw, because of histhorough knowledge of Array regu¬lations.In April, 1942, the division wassent to Fort Lewis, Washington, forfurther training; and in Septemberour T/4 marched up the gangplankat San Francisco and was off to theHawaiian Islands. He reports tht hefound the scenery impressive at ourmid-Pacific outpost, the tropicalfruits delicious, and the volcaniccraters interesting.Some time later Clemeshaw foundhimself assigned to^ the 66th SignalBattallion at Camp Crowder, Mo.,where he acted as S-3 clerk and alsoas an instructor in map reading. If weknow Clemeshaw at all, we’re surethat the boys at Crowder reallylearned plenty. From Camp Crowderto Laramie to Chicago—that bringsour soldier-scholar’s military careerup to date.Clemeshaw has a brother who is atechnician fifth grade in an aviationordnance company in Florida.

This New Year’s “hangover”game was Chicago’s second defeat atthe hands of the Glenview Fliers, thefirst being the December 11 game atthe Fieldhouse. As in the first game,the Maroons were slow in gettingstarted and were often caught fiatfooted on defense as the Fliers flasheddown the floor to sink an easy step-in shot.At the end of the first quarter Glen¬view led 20-8 and kept the lead forthe rest of the game. The Fliers scor¬ing attack was led by Cadets Hillockand Boyk, working at forward com¬bination, who ran up 13 and 14 pointsrespectively. Cadet Cook, individualhigh scorer of the earlier game, andnow on sea-duty was not missed verymuch. Coach Baun, of Glenview usedtwo complete teams alternating fre¬quently.Start Second Half With a BangCoach Kyle Anderson sent the Ma¬roons from the dressing room for thesecond half with “Get in there andDRIVE” ringing in their ears. Theydid drive for the first few minutesof the second period with two basketsby Bob Finnegan, and one apiece fromFred DeGraw and Dick Furry. Butthe effort “petered out” and Glenviewproceeded merrily on its way.Every individual athlete or team isdue for an “off night” now and thenand the Chicago cagers had a lulu lastTuesday. The speed, precision andspirit of the Chicago Tech game weremissing Tuesday night.

Now it’s our turn tocome out to the game at eight o’¬clock and show the boys that we’rebehind them. New Year’s Eve the University ofChicago basketball team knocked aforty-three game losing streak outthe window by downing Chicago Tech¬nical college 65 to 27. With flashystyle and good old fashioned basket¬ball, the Maroons swamped the Tech-men from the opening play.From almost any spot on the floorand from any position, the Chicagomen threw in field goals. Althoughmissing some easy shots, 65 points isthe highest score of the season forChicago and proves that the Maroonscan play real basketball when theyfeel like it. Forward Fred DeGrawsank ten buckets and Center JackMarkward made seven. Markwardhas a loose easy style of play andshoots baskets with one hand like ashot-putter. If he could develop moreconfidence in himself and put a littlemore effort into the game, he couldand would become a sweet ballplayer.Find that Chicago Can WinAt the end of the first half, the Ma¬roons led 31 to 12 and in the secondperiod, went on to cinch the game with34 more points. Chicago Tech neverthreatened at any time, but TechmanVic Thompson out-played his teammates and occasionally the Maroons,sinking seven baskets and one free-throw. The rest of the time, the Chi¬cago defense kept their opponentsout of scoring territory.
