Ithappens to the young and old, thewise and the foolish. Last week it hap¬pened to our own Milton S. Mayer.When Draft Board 9 classified Mr.Mayer lA, everyone was shocked byhis declaration that he would rathergo to jail than go to war. MiltonMayer at 36 holds a unique positionon the University of Chicago campus.One-time assistant to Robert Hutchinsand free-lance writer, he is the intel¬lectual “handyman” of the University.To MAROON reporters, MiltonMayer had little to say. His wholeposition in regard to the draft and thewar is hereby quoted from an articlein a national magazine in October,1939.“I oppose the current war for threereasons. I think it will destroy democ¬racy. I think it will bring no peace..\nd I think it will degrade humanity.”In all the wars fought by the UnitedStates, Mayer claims, nothing hasever been gained.Just as strong in his feelings today,Mayer will maintain his position re-jjardless of outside influences. “TodayI am sure that the second world waris no more just than the first ... Isuppose there are just wars—warsthat save more human values thanthey destroy. But this war is like thelast one, and the last one was not oneof them.”“I believe that this war . . . willdestroy the democracy we have as anation. I am hesitant to turn in de¬mocracy—what little we have for adifferent kind of Fascism from Eu¬rope . . .”“1 do not face this problem, now—by thanking God that I am over ageor flat-footed. I do not face this prob¬lem by announcing that because of //religious or conscientious scruples Iwill sing psalms or empty bedpans be¬hind the lines. I do not face thisproblem by getting a bombproof jobin Washington while the goofs go outand stop the bullets. There is onlyone way to face this problem, and thatis to face it. I have to decide, now—to stand up and fight or to stand upand oppose the war.” G. 0.

Moreover, both partieshave continuopsly resorted to politicalexpediency, appeasement of lobbygroups and pork-barreling of the mostblatant variety as a substitute forkeeping platform promises.These were only some of the chargesMr. Maynard Kruger laid squarely onthe doorstep of our current bipartitesystem in his address to the ChanningClub last Sunday afternoon. His topicwas “Political Prerequisites for Post¬war Democracy.” In asserting hisfaith in the basic principles of ourdemocracy, Mr. Krueger stressed theabsolute necessity of restoring thetrust of the people in the integrity ofour party system. Such trust wouldgo'a long way towards combating thespreading infection of totalitarianideology in this country. A reaffirma¬tion of democratic ideals and positive,vigorous political action is the anti¬dote for the poison being insinuatedby our native fascists and reaction¬aries.But this can not be accomplishedby our political parties as they arenow constituted. The American peoplecould never accept any protestationsof rejuvenation by either the Repub¬licans or Democrats. A fresh startmust be made, and it can only bemade by people who have not alreadycompromised themselves in the eyes ofthe public. Only a new party accurate¬ly representing the democratic wishes will run candidates for Congress inthe coming elections, Mr. Kruegerannounced, in four mid-westernstates. As a matter of general policy,it is the intent of the A.C.F. to seekseats in Congress rather than try toelect a president. He cited the fate ofWilson at the mercy of a recalcitrantCongress, and the current difficultiesof Roosevelt. The political strength ofthe A.C.F. will rest with the peopleand their representatives in the legis¬lative cham,bers, and the congressmenelected under the banner of the A.C.F.will be independent and free fromany taint of the usual patronage, ex¬pediency and machine politics.Mr. Krueger, who has been NormanThomas’ running mate on the Social¬ist Party ticket in the elections ofStravinsky’s MusicCampus Attraction Mandel Concert SROA house filled to capacity with Chi¬cago music lovers will greet IgorStravinsky, contemporary Russiancomposer and one-time student ofRimsky-Korsakoff, tonight in MandelHall at 8 p.m. in the second programthe Composers Concert series.

The programwas an interesting and well-balancedone, with Mozart’s Sonata in B-flatmajor, Brahms’ Sonata in A major,and the Beethoven C minor Sonata,all for violin and piano.The program opened with the Mo¬zart K. 378. The sonata is in threemovements: Allegro moderate; Andan-tino sostenuto e cantabile; and Ron¬deau: Allegro. From the very firstnotes, Miss Kirsch played very luod-ly, very loudly. Unfortunatelyfor Mozart and Mr. Weicher, theviolin was almost completely obscured.Nor was the piano an adequate sub¬stitute, with a performance of poor-tone, faulty tempo, phrasing and verylittle musicianship. The lyrically de¬lightful second movement was treatedpoorly, as was the gay al¬legro finale. Unlike most would-be soloists. Miss Kirsch had no qualmsabout playing wrong notes loudly andemphatically. Of course, such a per¬formance precluded any opportunityof judging the ability of Mr. Weicher,the violinist.The two artists made a fresh startwith the Opus 100 Sonata of Brahmbut it suffered a like fate, so muchso that the pizzicato passages in th^Vivace section of the second move¬ment were pantomimed effects, ratherthan auditory ones.The final work on the program, theever-popular Beethoven C minor sona¬ta, Opus 30, no. 2, was somewhat bet¬ter, and for fleeting moments duringthe Adagio cantabile (second move¬ment) Mr. Weicher was able to revealhimself as a capable violinist with a.warm and pleasant tone. His lack ofsufficient colume, however, caused himto come out a poor second in competi¬tion with Miss Kirsch each time.As a result of this performance, itshould be evident to all that a pro¬gram as exacting as this one was,should never be undertaken withoutadequate rehearsal, and by two artistswho are, at least, musically compat¬ible. The hall was well filled with anenthusiastic, eager-to-be-pleased aud¬ience. However, one can’t help feel¬ing that someone took advantage oftheir generosity.Wright Laundryand Cleaner1315 East 57th StreetMidway 2073U.T.1131-1133 E. 55th St.Complete Selectionof Beers andOther BeveragesMIDway 0524Blatz Beer THE CHICAGO MAROON -Review Story Of CobbHall: Campus VeteranWhen the ground was first broken, on November 26, 1891, for the erec¬tion of buildings, it was for a lecture hall and three dormitories at the cornerof Ellis avenue and 59th street. For the lecture hall, a gift was received fromSilas B. Cobb, during a campaign to raise $1,000,000.Mr. Cobb, a native of Vermont, had arrived at Fort Dearborn on May 29,1833, and lived in Chicago .ever since. One of his favorite expressions was,‘‘Every building in Chicago was erected during my lifetime”. He donated$150,000 to the new University outof his desire to do something for thecity of Chicago which had been hishome for 60 years. A marble portraitbust of Mr. Cobb by Lorado Taft ison the south wall of the main floor atthe foot of the stairs.Cobb Lecture Hall was designed byHenry Ives Cobb (no relation to thedonor) and the building was first oc¬cupied on September 1, 1891. At theopening of the University on October1, 1892, students entered the buildingover temporary boards and underscaffolding on which stonecutters werestill carving the name of the building.From that time until the present,Cobb Hall has been the center of stu¬dent academic activities. The space now occupied by adminis¬tration offices in the early days servedas the first chapel. It was in this roomthat the first public exercise of theUniversity was held at 12:30 p.m. Oc¬tober 1, 1892. Every year since, onthe opening day of autumn quarter,the Anniversary Chapel Service isheld.College classes very early establish¬ed the custom of presenting to theUniversity some memorial of theclass. Near the entrance of Cobb, sofamiliar to the undergraduates, havebeen placed a bulletin board by theclass of 1907, the “C” bench by theclass of 1903 and the senior bench bythe class of 1896. The clock over theast entrance was presented by theclass of 1924.In the beginning, the sixty roomswere arranged in departmental suitesaround central departmental libraries.The president’s office, then occupiedby William Rainey Harper, and thefaculty room were in the southeast Today, Cobb Hall is still the centerof many offices and activities. Sol¬diers and sailors daily attend classesalong with the civilian students. Cobbholds the Institute of Military Studies,the Office of Registration, the Officeof the Dean of Students and manycomer of the first floor. At this time,one way traffic between classes wasobserved, one way for five minutesand the other for five. Policemen werestationed nearby to enforce this rule. other offices and departments. Atpresent, rumor has it than plans arein the air to tear down Cobb Hall aft¬er the war and erect a new and muchlarger building.0. D. P. Continues Plans ForPresentation Of Dear BrutusThe next ODP presentation, plan¬ned and directed by Jere Mickelin the absence of Frank Grover, willbe James Barrie’s comedy-drama.Dear Brutus. The cast of the produc¬tion will, to a large extent, consist ofmembers of the first two years of thefour year college.Presented in Mandel Hall, DearBrutus, will be involved fantasy con¬cerning the lives of a group of ratherawful people. They have been broughtby the Puckish and ageless Lob to hiscountry house because of their com¬mon desire for a second chance in life.On Midsummer’s Eve, the group en¬ters an enchanted wood where this de¬sire becomes a reality. The play’s cli¬max reveals that in most cases thecharacter of a man, not the opportu¬nity that is offered him, will deter¬mine his success or failure. The role of the dissipated artist,Will Dearth, the only member of thegroup whose second chance wouldhave given him happiness, was madefamous by Gerald duMaurier. His de¬lightful daughter, Margaret, was firstportrayed by the very young Helen.Hayes. The rest of the characters area cross-section of British life; thephilandering Purdie and his two wom¬en .. . Matey, the thieving butler. . . the culture-coated peasant, LadyCaroline . . . and Mrs. Dearth, theartist’s self-centered and iron-cladwife.Dear Brutus is a good play . . . forprofessionals.

Miller, announced early this week.The total number of civilian stu¬dents in both the downtown Univer¬sity College and the Quadrangles onthe Midway has decreased to 3725.While the Quadrangles suffered a lossof 18.7 per cent, the University Col-elge had a gain of 6.3 per cent. Ofthe total number enrolled, 1413 aremen and 2312 are women, thus re¬versing the normal peace time ratio.Enrollment of armed forces stu¬dents in the University has almostquadrupled this quarter as comparedwith a year ago. This is in additionto the several thousand men, who,while stationed on campus, are receiv¬ing training but are not registered asstudents.The first two years of the College,which students enter after the soph¬omore year in high school, showed anincrease of 20 per cent. This gain, ascompared to the loss in the quad¬rangles enrollment, is easily explainedby the fact that the students in thefirst and second years of the Collegeare entering at an age unaffected bywar and the draft.Editor AppointmentBy Britanica FilmsTo Local ProfessorStephen M.

Qy^gWhite of the School of Social ServiceAdministration on the University’sRond Table Broadcast on “The Pres¬ident’s Messages,” January 16. Op.posing such a measure as an undemo¬cratic procedure and holding that un¬der the private profit system it wouldbe “involuntary servitude,” was May¬nard C. Krueger of the Department ofEconomics.Because next year’s need for laborand production will be even greaterthan this year’s. Professor Reevessaid: “This act . . . is the way tosecure large numbers of women who. . . are not working, in labor short¬age areas. It would release agricul¬tural workers in certain regionswhere there is no need of deferment.“It will also have another very im¬portant result. It would get some peo¬ple not to work in war plants. Thereare now many women working whoshould be home taking care of smallchildren and there are three or fourmillion children working who havebeen taken out of high schools.”According to Krueger, “The evi¬dence supporting this act makes aweak case . . . Inadequate and badgovernment administration has notutilized the powers that it now has forsolving the manpower problem . . .National service will virtually liqui¬date the independence of an organizedlabor movement . . . one of the im¬portant protections against fascism.”In discussing other proposals in thePresident’^ message, the speakers em¬phasized the importance of preventinginflation a.id the need for immediatepost-war planning.“Tariff and World Trade,” to bebroadcast at 12:30, January 23, willbe the second topic in a series on “Eco¬nomic Stumbling Blocks Between theU.S. and Great Britain.” The majorconsideration will be the role of theU.S. and Great Britain in recon¬structing post-war world trade.CIO Organizer SpeaksAt AYD Lunch ThursdayPlans for the coming quarter andelection of officers marked AmericanYouth for Democracy’s first member¬ship meeting of the quarter, held lastweek at Ida Noyes.AYD plans to inaugurate a seriesof luncheons on campus, at which aspeaker will present a timely topic,followed by discussion.

He hid himself in acorner between songs, while we wig¬gled in our chairs, muttering a fewchoice and unprintable remarks aboutwomen who wear hats to concerts.The occasion was a national broadcastto which the MAROON had been in¬vited for the purpose of meeting Mr.Crooks, the famous concert and operartenor.Sitting behind the orchestra andfacing its conductor, Mr. Roy Shields,we were able, by peering through theharp strings, to get a close-up view.Contrary to our naive opinions, or¬chestra men are not all bland sophisti¬cates in white tie and tails. They notonly perspire profusely and swear the best smile we’ve seen in years—one vaguely reminiscent of a Raphaelcherub—on his guest artist.Following the broadcast, Mr. Crookschatted awhile about his musicalcareer and cleverly evaded all refer¬ences to his personal life. We, in ourbest journalistic style, pulled the oldone: what was the high-point to hiscareer?Mr. Crooks paused a moment andlooked down. Then he confessed to asoul-thrilling kiss from Madame Schu-mann-Heink bestowed at the conclu¬sion of a duet they had sung together.We may add that he was eleven yearsold at the time, a boy soprano earning$.60 a month in his church choir. “Shegave me a dozen American Beautyroses, too,” he added.occasionally, but look as though theywould much prefer to adjourn to thenearest pub for a short snort thanplay through the overture to “TheSecrets of Suzanne.”One of life’s little mysteries hasalways been: do famous singers ac¬tually learn the words to the hundredsof numbers in their repertoire? Dur¬ing Mr. Crooks’ Jack-in-the-box ap¬pearances before the microphone, wenoticed that he clutched a sheet of mu¬sic to which he referred constantly.Mr. Crooks, by the way, in his moreimpassioned moments, resembles theGallic glamor-boy, Charles Boyer,even to a receding hairline. Evidently jwe were not alone in being charmedby the Crooks appearance, for theconductor himself frequently bestowed Through his years of concert workboth in the U.S. and abroad, Mr.Crooks has had opportunity to form acomprehensive view of the musicaltastes of many countries. He findslittle variation where classical musicis concerned.Although. our victim was gettingvisibly anxious about catching histrain, we couldn’t leave withoutbroaching what is now the piece-de¬resistance of any musical interview.“Mr. Crooks,” we said, hanging on tothe edge of our chairs, “what do youthink about Frankie?”“I have an opinion,” he admittedwith a smile, “but I’m keeping it tomyself. The kind of music he sings ishis business. Obviously, you can seeit’s not mine.” - THE CHICAGO MAROON ^ : Page ThreeWillidm J. O’Moora Hails SystemOf Liberalized Education HereOne of the greatest worries beset¬ting undergraduates here is how Chi¬cago’s unique Four Year College-Gen¬eral Survey plan is regarded by otherAmerican colleges.At least one man, William J. O’¬Meara, visiting associate professor ofphilosophy from Fordham, believesthat Chicago is now taking steps ineducation that the rest of the countrywill be almost forced to follow afterthe war.O’Meara’s most intimate contactwith Hutchins’ Chicago plan isthrough the new Observation, Inter¬pretation and Integration course thathe is teaching in conjunction withJoseph J. Schwab. “Such a newcourse,” said O’Meara, “is too youngto be properly evaluated yet. Almostevery subject ever taught, with thepossible exception of high school alge¬bra and the like, is constantly chang¬ing. It’s the same way with O.I.I. Toa certain degree, it deals with all thesciences in the same way that one sur¬vey course deals with its various sub-topics—as Bi. Sci., for instance, han¬dles Zoology, Anthropology, Physiol¬ogy, genetics and the rest. The courseis trying to teach the method or meth¬ods he must use if he wishes to under¬stand any science.”“The fact that most students findO.I.I. and courses like it hard to un¬derstand is not surprising. When astudent passes from grammar schoolinto high school he finds that he’sdealing with pretty much the samekind of thing he’s already gonethrough. Perhaps he has to take oneor two language courses: that’s some¬ thing new, and for a while he’sstumped. In the same way, when aChicago student first comes face toface with the survey plan he doesn’tknow how to handle himself.”“The general courses that are be¬ing presented here at the Universityof Chicago are, I think, different fromthose given in other American univer¬sities. I remember that, when I wasat the University of Toronto, the ideaof a good general course was to throwthe most imposing men in their fieldsat the student and assume he wouldpick up the superficialities before theyear was over. In its way, a course ofthat nature was all right. Here atChicago the general courses don’t dealwith the top soil; they’re getting atthe fundamental methods underlyingthem. The material isn’t dealt with intext book style: whenever it’s possiblewe try to present documents—^worksthat can help students to understandthe real nature of what they’re study¬ing.O’Meara was asked whether he be¬lieved Chicago’s plan would ever beaccepted by other universities.“I think so”, he said. “For onething, after the war thousands ofASTP men will return to college.They will have been trained in allsorts of subjects. The only possibleway to place them will be a system ofexaminations such as Chicago’s.”“I believe that I have taught in allthe four years of traditional collegecurriculum. From what I’ve seen hereat Chicago, I am confident that peo¬ple know as much when they grad¬uate from here with the new bach¬ elor’s degree as an alumnus of anyordinary college.”O’Meara is a middle sized, whitehaired man. He smokes Chesterfields,reads detective stories (there werethree or four on his shelves) and theChicago SUN. Talking precisely buteasily, he is a man intensely interest¬ed in the University of Chicago and acapable, if temporary, addition to herfaculty.Bernard M. LoomerSpeaks At ChapelUnion On Philosophyn.Bernard M. Loomer, speaking lastSunday at the second Chapel Unionmeeting of the quarter, discussed“The Interrelations of Science, Phi¬losophy, and Religion.” Mr. Loomer,who is professor of Ethics on the Fed¬erated Theological Faculties, beganhis explanation by considering waysin which science, philosophy, and re¬ligion resemble each other. All threeemploy the scientific method. Thentoo, they are certainly related to theextent that a new discovery in sciencemay mean a new philosophical prin¬ciple.In such a discussion, Mr. Loomercommented, religion is a somewhatambiguous term, for it must be con¬sidered not as a way of life, but asa level of religious inquiry—thus par¬allel to science and philosophy.Future Assured For Cadet NursesIn Essential And Interesting Work“Nursing is work with a definitefuture for college woman,” said MissSara Jean Coville at a lecture lastTuesday at Ida Noyes sponsored by'Interclub Council. A member of thenursing staff of Vanderbilt Univer¬sity Hospital in Nashville, Tennessee,Miss Coville was representing the Na¬tional Nursing Council for WarService and the United States CadetNorse C/orps.“The need for student nurses at thistime is greater than ever before,”said Miss Coville, as civilian hospitalsneed 65,000 student nurses. The Serv¬ices are naturally draining the avail¬able supply of graduate nurses withthe Army taking 3,000 a month andthe Navy, 500. It has been estimatedthat three student nurses equal twograduates, so the need for recruits isobvious.College girls who go into nursingat this time will be leaders in medicalrehabilitation after the war. Doctorsand nurses will spearhead the wholeprogram and those nurses with col¬lege education will be picked as lead¬ers. Another vital field for nursingnow and after the war will be mentalhygiene. Already boys are comingback from the fronts for mentaltreatment and the problem must befaced that there will be more of thembefore the war is over. While most ofthe cases can and will be cured, it^11 take until long after the war, andniany trained nurses, specialists in^la field, will be needed.It will uiidoubt^y interest alltwirls thinking of nursing as a career^ know that of idl professionalin the country, nuiaing hashighest marriage and lowest di-^orce rates.

Virginia Brantner is chairmanof the luncheon committee.The World Student Service Fundcampus committee has set a goal of$2500 to be attained during the 20day period set aside for the drive.Each University student is asked tocontribute “a dollar for destiny” dur¬ing the campaign.32 Freshmen GivenHonor ScholarshipsHonor entrance scholarships to theCollege of the University, totalling$16,500, have been awarded to thirty-two high school students on the basisof an aptitude test, it was announcedby Dean Aaron Brumbaugh, January9. Twenty-eight of these students arefrom the greater Chicago metro¬politan area.Five of the scholarship winners arehigh school sophomores who have beengranted four-year awards to theamount of $300 a year. The youngestof these winners is fifteen-year-oldRosemarie Vihovich. Among the otherscholarship winners are a pair oftwins, a Chinese-American girl, andtwo foreign-bom students, one a na¬tive of Germany and the other ofFrance.Of* the remaining scholarships inthe Chicago area, one has been award¬ed for three years, three of twp years*duration, fift^n for one year, andfour for one-half year of study. Stravinsky'sTalk AcclaimedSponsored by the William VaughnMoody Foundation, Igor Stravinsky,brilliant Russian composer, spoke lastnight at Mandel Hall on “Composing,Performing, and Listening.” Tonightat Mandel Hall, Mr. Stravinsky, sup¬ported by members of the ChicagoSymphony Orchestra, will present aconcert of his own works.Igor Stravinsky began his study ofmusic at the age of twenty when hebecame a student of Rimsky-Korsa-koff. His Chant Funebre was writtenas a tribute to his famous teacher.Perhaps the best summing up ofStravinsky was written by the com¬poser himself, when he said, “I liveneither, in the past nor in the future.I am in 'the present. I cannot knowwhat tomorrow will bring forth. I on¬ly know what the truth is for metoday. That is what I am called uponto serve, and I serve it in all lucidity”. Prospective FroshTo Social C DanceProspective University studentsfrom near-by high schools will be en¬tertained as guests of the StudentPublicity Board on March 4 at thethird Social “C” Dance of the winterquarter.High school seniors will meet firstwith the members of the board at apunch bowl party and will receivetheir complimentary tickets for thedance.This plan was announced last Tues¬day at a regular meeting of the board.It still awaits approval of the Dean’soffice.The chief problem the board nowfaces is obtaining names of highschool sophomores, juniors and sen¬iors who are interested in attendingthe University. Although cards havebeen distributed in several of the sur¬vey lectures, responses sent to DeanScott’s office have been disappointing¬ly small.Oh!

However, from the outlook here itwould appear that in (to use a well-worn phrase)‘‘times such as these” too much stress is placedon the Anglo-Saxon of realism to the sacrifice ofthe more abstract philosophical speculations.Certainly we are not a journal of philosophy, nordo we intend to present newsworthy events in anybut realistic terms. Nevertheless, there is noreason that the Latin American custom of firmcontemplation to matters other than of imme-jdiate interest should be totally sacrificed. iMany changes are going on constantly in theLatin American countries, not however, refer¬ring to political events: doors are eagerly open¬ing to a more universal outlook. A sense of time¬lessness and of destiny together with a protestagainst the idea that success in business and its“brought about” results is something that shouldbe carefully considered by the average universitystudent. In the words of Samuel Guy Inman, “itis life itself, not its accidents, its possessions,its achievements, that is most worth while. Be¬ing what you want to be is more desirable thangetting what you want.”The average student rebels against any suchstatement as above. Yet, on careful analysis, isit not of some truth that we are today, in theface of many stark realities sacrificing the broad¬er outlook on life? “The Anglo-Saxon’s idealsrevolve around morality and success; those ofthe Latin American revolve around beauty andbrilliance,” to return to Inman’s outlook. “As pu¬pils in grade school we of the North copied a hun¬dred times the motto, ‘Honesty is the best policy,’and we had instilled in us a belief that if we werereligious God would give us success. All suchreasoning is quite foreign to the Hispanic Amer¬ican. Not social service, nor morality, nor busi¬ness success has primary place in his world.Beauty and intellectual brilliance, with plentyof leisure to enjoy them, are what makes himhappy...“Any Anglo-Saxon who writes a Latin langu¬age feels the difference instinctively when hetakes up his pen. When he is writing in Englishhe is working on content, trying to express histhoughts briefly, thinking of saving time andspace. But when he writes in Spanish such re¬straints are forgotten; he either talks leisurelywith friends, bringing in whatever comes to hismind, or he endeavors to clothe what may be anidea in majestic form. One reason why transla¬tions of North American books are not verypopular in Latin America is that in the emphasison content, form is often neglected.”Perhaps we have gone beyond our duty as anewspaper to even consider such an outlook.And yet, the feeling remains that something islacking in the supported college outlook. Thequestion might enter as to what brought thissubject about. In answer follows an excerpt fromAmado Nervo, the Mexican mystic:“Two nets I cast," said the sailor to me,“Into the depths of the abyss.“The first was the net of Analysis.After it I played out all the cables ofthe vessel ...With a tremendous longingI examined the meshes, thread by thread,Anl I beheld the bottom of the net with anguish.And the bottom of the net was empty!

Amazing as it mayseem, there are today twice as manystudents in Germany (few of themcivilians, most in the army) who areactively engaged in Bible studies thanthere were before the movement wasofficially dissolved by the government.This case is not unique. There arestudents in practically every country,who are carrying on under the mosthazardous conditions, just becausethey have the deep urge to continuetheir studies. We probably know moreabout the heroic struggles of the Chi¬nese universities, moving west when¬ever their campuses were destroyedby the forces of war. Student life isgoing on in India, in Japan, inFrance, and all other countries oc¬cupied or not.To us, studying under such hard¬ship seems far away. We complainwhen we have to get up for an eighto’clock class. We, as students in theUnited States of America; we, whoare comfortable and self-complacent,should get better acquainted with our fellow students throughout the wcwho have a deeper desire to gtithan we do.

P. BreckinridgiMilton Mayer's StandWhen Milton Mayer announced last week thatwould prefer four or five years in jail to service in the arirforces, few people had cause to be surprised. Mayer is a consci(tious objector of long standing. Although he bases his belief onreligious principles, Mayer believes this war to be wrong. Comquently he has no wish to fight in it.The instant reaction to such a viewpoint is inevitable. M(Americans believe that they are protecting their country and tthings it stands for. We think we are fighting a just and desperswar: we think that any man who has ever gained anything fnthe United States should find no objection in defending hertimes of war.And when a man, such as Mayer, flatly refuses to do so undany circumstances, we are outraged. He has no right, we think,set himself up as private judge of what is just and what is unjuHe has no right to declare that our soldiers are dying for nothiand that he does not wish to join them. Hearing of such a man ^think that he is either a coward, a poseur, or a traitor. In Mayeicase, it is improbable that any one of these epithets are true,he is honestly sincere in what he professes, Mayer is undoubteca man of considerable personal courage.People are not disposed to be tolerant in war time. They doilike people who refuse to join in something they have come to igard as almost sacred. For a man to get up and declare that 1own beliefs stand higher than mass opinion is a tolerably brathing to do. He is thought the lowest of shirkers: his ideals agiven no consideration, his motives are scoffed at. No matter h(sincerely he may believe in his reasons, his countrymen will raregive them credence. He is thrown in prison and forgotten unthy let him out again. When they do, he may find that his countrmen, exhausted by the war just ended, regard him even more b:terly.Milton Mayer has done such a thing, and already he has bcome a figure of national interest and execration. He is lucky thhe has already had a chance to express his motivations in the Saurday Evening Post. Few conscientious objectors ever get the oportunity. Mayer has expressed views that were, at the timetheir writing, undoubtedly held by a great many people. The fathat he has held to them, has disregarded opportunities to escajfacing the consequences, and has finally stood by them whencame to a showdown, is a compliment to his own personal integritWhat will become of Mayer is impossible, at this point, 1accurately prophesise. His case may asume spectacular proportioior, though not in all likelihood, be hushed up while Mayer pass<quietly into prison. »To this date, however, we believe that the final word on tlstory was stated a few days ago by Chicago Daily News columniiSydney .Harris;“Milton MayeFs case,” he said, “is one to be dcided by himself, his draft board, and bis God.” .Feature PagePow Shield*Traveling BazaarReturning to this campus after just a week’s ab¬sence finds one dashing madly about trying to keep in-^ormed on what’s happened during such a short interimat least that’s what this one has been doing.. .1 findthat people are still laughing at Betty Davidson’s jokeabout the President of our University.. .the way shetells it (you may have heard a different version) an emi¬nent psychiatrist died and approached the pearly gates“Who are you?” demanded the keeper. “Why, Dr.Sigmund Freud, of course,” replied our friend.. .“Boy,are we glad to see YOU,” beamed St. Pete. “Maybe youcan do something with the Boss’ son...He’s having de¬lusions of grandeur.. .He thinks he’s Robert MaynardHutchins!”bazaar extends its heartiest congratulations to thenew Mortar Boards and Sigmas...

THE CHICAGO MAROONBill ErlandionJazz CocktailsJazz music in America today as personified by suchmen as Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman and Lu Wattersis rapidly gaining recognition and distinction as being ahealthy and lively true American art. Because of thisand because of the fact that jazz has, or should have,a definite place in a large University, we decided to mixup a few jazz cocktails for the readers of the CHICAGOMAROON. The column will contain items pertaining ex¬plicitly to three subjects—hot jazz, swing music, andmodern classical music, which contains a pronouncedinfluence of jazz. Records, concerts, books, jam sessions,characters, hot collecting and the like will all find theirway into our little column.Of immediate interest to students on the campus whoplan to attend the Stravinsky concert on Friday nightis the statement by Darius Milhaud to the effect thatMr. Stravinsky’s music owes much to jazz. Far from be¬ing on the old New Orleans gut bucket beat, the mod¬ernist’s music, in much of its tonal and rhythmic ef¬fects, does show the definite influence of jazz.The opening up of the “Session” record shop on WellsStreet in the loop provides a welcome hangout for Chi¬cago’s Hot Collectors. Along with handling all availablejazz releases and their own label, the “Session” gets outa monthly auction list of interesting and practically un¬obtainable records.The latest issue of Esquire magazine is an issue de¬voted almost entirely to jazz. It features the EsquireAll-American band which was chosen by some of themost eminent jazz critics in America. This supposedlyperfect band got together in New York this week fora concert. The only trouble with the whole thing is thatmost of the critics were from the East, causing some ofthe “Western school” to feel that the poll was a littleunfair. But that’s just what’s so nice about jazz. It’sstill such a young art that discussion on the subject isstill heated, and stsndards have not yet been set, whichgives vent to many diversified and interesting opinions.For the price of a good steak and a couple of OldFashioneds you can see and hear Duke Ellington down atthe Boulevard Room of the Hotel Stevens. Ellington isgenerally considered to be the greatest name in modernjazz, and he really puts on a marvelous show. Rumor hasit that Harry James will follow the Duke into this nitespot, but the fact that Bernie Cummins will be there isa heck of a let-down...^ancy SmithBox OfficeTHE SEVENTH VICTIM.. .probably originated asone of those double-billed-fillers that occur periodicallyand unfortunately for the benefit of the non-reading pub¬lic. However, although I’m sure they didn’t know whatthey were doing, it turned into one of the best horrorpictures I have ever crawled under the seat for.The plot, which is oddly original, was probably dream¬ed up by one of those mad genii the studios keep lockedup in their catacombs and feed on bread and water. Itrevolves around a quotation of John Donne’s “I runneto death and death runs after me; and all my plea^resare as yesterday.” The dialogue is full of paradoxicallysignificant phrases—it required actual concentration toget it. Greenwich village, the haunt of a certain class ofwealthy, blase intellectuals seeking excitement as anescape from their boredom, provides an atmosphericbackdrop. Photography is sometimes bad, often good es¬pecially in the gloomy and terrifying street scenes...awoman cold with fear, dodging into dark doorways, try¬ing to escape from a murderer.. .hearing the click ofhis penknife.The action hinges on a beautiful, mysterious womanhiding from the menace of murder by a society of devilworshipers, including a one-armed woman, middle-agedsocialites bored with Park avenue, fanatical queers,whom she betrayed. Their downfall comes when TomConway, a psychiatrist, quotes a passage from the Lord’sPrayer “Lead us not into temptation but deliver usfrom evil...”MOONLIGHT IN VERMONT... Gloria Jean goesthe gamut of her emotions, joy and exquisite agong! Oth¬er characters are—characters.

Toa student assistant-to-the-Marshal seeing it for the first time, it was verywonderful. I decided that there are a good many double lives lurking around,as one by one the faculty passed, the women chignonned and elegant, the mentuxedoed and debonair.Alice Sheehan and I laid bets on whether Mr. Hutchins would appear—and I don’t know which one of us was more overwhelmed when he entered,and SMILED at both of us.

They live alternately on the roofs ofHarper and Botany, and their activities are wide. They dine on live pigeons,squirrels, and sparrows.

Those color schemes become dailymore lyric, and often they carry me away during Soc lecture. Instead of thelaw of demand I see Krueger, riding in a troika along the streets of Petrograd,as he sings a tender theme from Shostakovitch’s Seventh to Dietrich, thelovely spy. “My soul is burdened with woes,” he sings, “the life of a Socialistis depressing to one so sensitive.” “Nichevo,” she anpwers lovingly, “let ushaste away from the Kremlin and into the sunset together.” “Nyet,” he re¬sponds morbidly, “I am to run for president in 1944.” And they drown theirsouls in tea-with-jam.Lolly KabrinePlush And TunaNow that Lexington Hall has run out of aspirin and I have stalled aroundfor a week-end and a half, it has become imperative that I take the old penin hand and get going right now... the getting is fine, it’s the going I’mhaving trouble with...Anyone who doesn’t think that the American public is record-consciousis simply heh...Just think how symphonies, concertos, even operas are nolonger divided into the original movements or acts, but rather according tothe wax and lacquer appearance... like “That piano part in the middle of theseventh record” or “The third record of Tschaikowsky’s Fifth”...and howlazy we generations are getting... time was when we had to get up to crankevery ten minutes, while now we can sit comfortably and hear eight sides inthe most flawless tone without moving a muscle...but that isn’t enough...someone (usually me) groans impatiently about having to get up and turnthem over...Will some cleever, cleever one when passing through the Michigan Ave¬nue exit of the Randolph Street I.C. please say something cagey and quota-cious about the flashy and very prominent sign in view on the gum wrappereddoor-step: OUT OFF ORDER.. .And while on the subject of civic transporta¬tion; that very uninspiring thick tile wall that greets you at the Washingtonstation of the subway promising a “Direct Entrance to Marshall Field” al¬ways incites a lively image of “Topper” drifting into the basement china,,crockery, and bread boxes carrying three “No Smoking” signs, a turn stile,and two escalators on his be-plastered-speckled shoulders...The Day I Became a Cynic, chapter 12, of “My Life: An Autobiography”will recount the sad story of disillusion when I discovered how the Hit Paradearrives at the three top tunes... for years I had been gullible, trusting LuckyStrike blindly—believing them when they said that polls had been conducted,surveys made, votes counted—it isn’t so!

According to Mr. Mickel, hisreason for presenting Dear Brutus isthat "it is a play that needs to be giv¬en.” It seems that a lighter vehicle,something with more campus audienceappeal and more adaptability to anamateur group, would be a better se¬lection for ODP than Dear Brutus.A good choice has been made forthe next Intimate Theatre production,to be presented on the week-end ofFebruary 12.

Basket¬ball coaches, however, are making thebest of the situation without com¬plaint, although many of them do notknow from one day to another whatmen will play in the next game.

The Chicago team was com¬pletely demoralized by the smoothball handling of the Wildcat scoringmachine. Also, the news that JackMarkward, 6 foot 5” freshman center,jnissing from the line-up, would prob¬ably not be able to finish the season,put the finishing touches to a crumb¬ling morale.Last Saturday, the night after theNorthwestern massacre, the Maroonsgave a better showing against Illinoisin front of the home-folks on thehome-grounds, scoring a better thanaverage 32 points.
