The Chicago MaroonVol. 3, No. 15 Z-149 Friday, January 28, 1944 Price Four CentsFirst Dictionary OfAmerican LanguagePut Out By PressAmericans now have a record oftheir own language, as distinguishedfrom the King’s English, in a fourvolume, 2552 page record. Tuesday,January 25, the University of Chi¬cago Press began publication of “ADictionary of American English onHistorical Principles” which has beenin the process of compilation, editing,and publication, since 1925.Edited by Sir William Craigie ofScotland, the noted lexicographer whowas knighted in England in 1928 forhis work in editing the Oxford Eng¬lish Dictionary, the dictionary is theproduct of a mighty staff of researchworkers. The American staff assist¬ing Sir William included James R.Hulbert, professor of English at theUniversity of Chicago and co-editorsince 1936, and two assistant editors,Mitford M. Mathews and Allen Walk¬er Read. Mr. Mathews is the onlystaff member who worked continuous¬ly on the book from its birth untilits publication.Definitions and the history of morethan 50,000 words which originated inthe United States, acquired newmeanings, or were closely associatedwith the development of the country,are given in the dictionary. Slang, notaccepted as a respectable part of thelanguage, has been excluded. The cur¬rent belief that most American wordinventions started as slang is not en¬tirely true. Americans have inventedmany “respectable” words andstrangely enough are not responsiblefor the word “ain’t”. The dictionaryis confined to words established be¬fore 1900, although illustrative andhistorical material is continued be¬yond that date. American language has not beenenriched by distinguished authorssuch as Emerson, for such writersfollowed the uncontaminated style ofEngland. However, many notable fig¬ures such as Washington, Jefferson,Jackson, and others have contributedgreatly. But it is Mark Twain whois credited with more Americanwords than any other source.

However, there hasbeen no indication that any actionwould be taken by the University con¬cerning the letter.

Per¬haps the editors are modest. The manof talent not only wrote an 800 wordarticle for Counterpoint's first issue,but he is now a feature writer forLife Magazine, and has earned a na¬tional reputation as a jazz expert,short story writer, and columnist.That man is George Frazier, and thearticle is “What is Jazz?” on page 10,Counterpoint's December issue.Of course, it is hardly possible thatthe University Writers Guild, pub¬lishers of Counterpoint, paid Mr.Frazier the space rates his articlesusually get. In fact, it is reasonablycertain that Mr. Frazier was not paidfor the story at all. One might furtherhazard the guess that Mr. Frazier wastotally unaware of his contribution tothat journalistic gem. Counterpoint,In short, since we of the literary pro¬fession have several choice but nastynames for this sort of misappropria¬tion of our creative art, Mr. Frazier^ould be most unhappy to learn ofthe matter.For awhile, we toyed with the ideathat the uncanny parallel phraseology in Mr. Frazier’s article “What IsJazz?”, which appeared in the No¬vember, 1942 issue of the Cosmopoli¬tan, with the “What Is Jazz?” storyin the December Counterpoint mightbe due to sheer coincidence, but abrief interview with Leo Dardarian,“author”, convinced us that such wasnot the case. In the event that onlyMr. Dardarian was aware of theduplication, we will now inform theeditorial staff of Counterpoint, as wellas the publishers, the UniversityWriters Guild, of the fact. Unfor¬tunately, such awareness as to theorigin of published and publishablematerial is the direct responsibility ofthe editors and publishers.From the opening phrase “jazz is alot of things” to closing one “jazz islike spinach”, the Counterpoint storyis a steal. Nobody in the newspaperbusiness uses the words “plagarism”and “piracy” lightly. The possibleafter-effects of allowing such words toappear in print are many and far-reaching. But when one is presentedwith the documentary evidence, thesituation is altered.Anybody is at liberty to read “Jazz”is a hamburger diet and the smell of stale liquor and the pall of smokethat hangs over a place like Nick’sin Greenwich Village at four in themorning” or “It is the fire and driveand gimme the ball and the hell sig¬nals.

It favors the extensiveparticipation of the United States infinancing post-war reconstruction, butopposes the use of either Americantroops or American money to aid inthe maintenance of economic or pro-litical oligarchies, dictatorships, orkings—in any part of the world.

Unfortunately, the music play¬ed did not match in its levelthe attendance. The first half of theprogram, comprising the Concerto forTwo Pianos and the Duo Concertantfor violin and piano, gave us two bet¬ter examples of Stravinsky's last pe¬riod: of the two, the Concerto pos¬sessed the more verve and was themore attractive. The Eglogue II. andGigue of the Duo Concertant were themost outstanding movements of some¬thing that was, otherwise, an exampleof what happens to talent when in¬spiration fails. The degree to whichStravinsky himself was responsiblefor the monotony is difficult to esti¬mate : were it known how much Dush-kin, his cdllaborator in the work, con¬tributed, it might be easier to judgeStravinsky's share.The performance of the “Story ofthe Soldier" was significant for theglimpse of Stravinsky as a conductorof his own music: so completely didhe grasp his own score that in the lastof the three dances, the Rag-Time,from the waist up he quite success¬fully executed the dance he was con¬ducting. The clarity of his beat andthe sharpness of his phrasing drewfrom the septet of Chicago Symphonymen performing the work the fullestrealization of a score which, becauseof complexities, might easily havelost distinctness of outline in thehands of less capable performers.Those who attended both the lectureon Thursday and the concert on Fri¬day, had their suspicions aroused byStravinsky's insistence on the needfor a restraint upon composition con¬firmed by the first two numbers on theconcert program. While these compo¬sitions were not devoid of melody, theycontained all too many passageswhich were more concerned with thetechnique of composition and ob¬servance of self-imposed rules thanwith a natural growth. The concerthas showed that the sterility of solarge an area of modern music is dueto the failure of composers to realizethat a unifying, decisive rhythm anda clearly defined melodic line are thebases of development of any musicalidea.Wright Laundryand Cleaner1315 East 57th StreetMidway 2073U.T.1131-1133 E. 55th St.Complete Selectionof Beers andOther BeveragesMIDway 0524Blatz Beer A vistor from Oxford a few yearsback remarked that the University ofChicago Chapel was the most beauti¬ful example of architecture he hadseen in America. This opinion is heldby many, mostly because the Chapelis simplicity and vigor combined tomake a massive and vast structure ofimperishable beauty.Building of the Chapel was begunon August 28, 1925, the cornerstonewas laid on June 11, 1926. Built withIndiana limestone, vertified brick, andtilestones the immense weight of thebuilding (32,000 tons) is supported by56 concrete piers which go down tosolid rock eighty feet below. Twohundred and thirty carloads of stonewere used in the building. Construc¬tion of the chapel was quite slow andthe exterior was finished on April 18,1928. The dedication was held threeyears and two months after theground was broken on October 28,1928.• An original creation of Gothic ar¬chitecture, the building is 265 feet inlength and it is broken into five baysonly which is very unusual for thistype of structure. The tower rises tothe height of 207 feet above groundlevel. Standing near the south end ofWashington Park, the tower can beseen surrounded by the four towersof Harper and Billings, which is abeautiful sight.The original design was done byMr. Bertam Grosvenor Goodhue whowas responsible for many other out¬standing buildings thoughout Amer¬ica. Although Mr. Goodhue designedthe Chapel, he never lived to enjoy itsbeauty for he died before it was com¬pleted. His service as the designer iscommemorated by a figure of him tosymbolize architecture in the interiorof the Chapel.There is probably no other religiousbuilding in America so richly adornedwith scultpure as the UniversityChapel. Twenty-four free standingfigures and fifty-three demi-figuresadorn the great scale of the exterior.In general the sculpture is archaic instyle and symbolic in characture.The cost of the University Chapelincluding the furnishings amounts toalmost $2,000,000. The seating ca¬pacity is estimated at 1,889. Freshair is drawn in at a height of 40 feet,heated and cleaned and piped in underthe pews. It is estimated that the air in the Chapel can be changed twelvetimes an hour.Dean of the Chapel is Dr. CharlesW. Gilkey, formerly of the Hyde ParkBaptist Church. The Chapel acts asthe center of all religious activity onthe campus. Services are held everySunday at 11 o'clock.Plan ProgramFor New FroshNext Monday morning, 150 enter¬ing freshmen will assemble in theOriental Institute to hear addressesof welcome given by Norman F.

Ames Sees Trend OfGrowth In ReligionPerceiving a trend in religionwhich has not occurred since the 17thcentury towards “new outlooks andpossibilities for continued processesrather than a static life,” Dean Ed¬ward S. Ames of the Disciples Divin¬ity School declared to 150 members ofthe Interchurch council Wednesdayevening, January 19, that a shift inreligion will lead “toward betterthings and higher ends that increasefor us through religion.”“Science and religion can live to¬gether, not side by side, but linkedin the possibilities they offer,” con¬tinued the Dean, “for religion is acombination of the sciences and arts.”The phrase, “The more we get to¬gether, the happier we will be,” ismanifested, not in terms of organiza¬tion, “but in terms of faith.”President Hutchin’s address of lastOctober to the newly formed federat¬ed theological schools was considereda “revolutionary moment” by Dr.Ames, because at that time the Pres¬ident determined the exact relationsof religion to the University.In presenting an over-all picture ofthe future for religion. Dean Amesenvisaged it working “under influ¬ences of new freedom, new convictionsand of greater light, fairness andbeauty. I like to see the Interchurchgroup in the University, for it is in¬dicative of religious changes, but alsoprophetic of much greater changesyet to come,” concluded the guestspeaker.American Youth ForDemocracy SupportsSoldier Vote BillFollowing an organized plan of ac¬tion, AYD has achieved many of itsgoals.To date over 250 post-cards havebeen mailed from the booth in Man-del Hall to Congress, urging the pas¬sage of a Federal Soldier Vote Bill.At the first luncheon discussion meet¬ing sponsored by the AYD, a resolu¬tion was sent to Congressman Rowanfollowing an impromptu speech madeby a visiting naval officer, who *irgeda continued fight for this and otherprogressive measures in order to buildand maintain a strong home front.Because of the success of this meet¬ing, combined with the need for con¬tinued action, another discussionmeeting was held on Thursday at IdaNoyes Hall.

David Tihmar, JackGansert, Norma Vaslavina, and Au¬drey Keane, the “Company”, were allsoloists of sorts, often taking severalparts in a single sketch by means ofingenious costume changes. Music,supplied by two pianos, was executedby Simon Sadoff and Lillian Bauer inarrangements by Mr. Sadoff. Al¬though perfectly suitable for thesmall group and the lighter numbers,it was rather inadequate for the moreemotional presentations.A triology done by Slavenska to theChopin E minor concerto, consistedof Death of the Swan, Romeo andJuliet, and Diana Triumphant. Thefirst was not to be confused with Pav¬lova's Swan, either .as to choreogra¬phy or dancing. The arm movementswere overdone, many of the poseswere silly, and faulty lighting madeit difficult to see downstage actionthroughout the recital. Little storywas discernable in the albeit lovelyRomeo, except during the hammydeath scene. In Diana, Slavenska wasforced, high-shouldered, and com¬pletely lacking in the emotion shewas supposed to express at huntingand killing a stag, which was excit¬ingly portrayed by Gansert in thetraditional “faun” manner.A set of Divertissements startedwith a lovely, Sylphides-like ChopinNocctumo by Slavenska and Tihmar.Five beautiful, graceful BrahmsVaises, done by Keane and Vaslavina,followed. De Falla's Fire Dance wasinterpreted in classical-modern styleby Gansert. Then, Keane did some ex¬cellent fast toe work in a peasantdancing to Moussorgsky. Vaslavina'sFlight of the Bumblebee was goodtechnically, but had too many breaksRuby Takes Lead InOOP's Dear BrutusCasting for Barrie’s Dear Brutus,the Office of Dramatic Productions'next presentation, has been complet¬ed. The valuable role of Will Dearth,the dipsomanical painter, will betaken by Henry Ruby. Mrs. Bouree-Davis will portray the dynamic Mrs.Dearth, and the delightful daughterMargaret will be done by FlorenceBaumruck. Jurdie, the philander, hiswife, and his “true love” will beplayed respectively by Phil Oxman,Elizabeth Kohn and Jean Cook. Dol¬ores Happ will portray the essential¬ly vulgar Lady Caroline, and Lob, thecause of all the fantastic incidentsthat occur throughout Dear Brutus,will be played by Sam McGregor. Theold couple, Mr. and Mrs. Coade, areto be done by Bill Brockson and HelenHerren.If Dear Brutus is done sensitivelyand with careful timing there is apossibility that it may be a success.It has been said before that Barrie'scomedy is too difficult for amateurproduction, and it is only a matter oftime before this statement will beproved or refuted. Dear Brutus, withits tricky sets and difficult character¬izations, will really be a big job forthe office to tackle. On the other hand,Noel Coward's The Young Idea,ODp’s next Intimate Theatre presen¬tation, should go over well if the showcan draw a sizeable audience. Spec¬tators grouped in a circle with the,actors emoting in the center justdoesn’t spell “theatre” to the averageperson. If the director of The Youngidea can do a good job on the pub-licity angle and make people awarethat Intimate Theatre is interestingand novel, and not a claustrophobe’snightmare, the production should besomething refreshingly new in campustheatre. and slow steps for the music. Mem¬ories of Vienna, Strauss waltzes lightand gay, but again too posey. All theSlavenska and Tihmar, was beautiful,costumes were delightful and dance-able.The high spot of both performanceswas the Grand Pas de Deux takenfrom the third act of Swan Lake, cos¬tumed in stunning black. Here Slav¬enska was in her element, having toportray only what she was: a beauti¬ful, graceful, technically expert danc¬er. Tihmar's agility was also notable.Belle Starr was—except for East¬ern reigns on the imaginary horses—another Western, very effectively cos¬tumed, but borrowing much from pre¬vious productions. Here Slavenska,teaming up with desperados, became areal “pistol packin’ mama”, until shewas shot.Salome and Spirituals both deviat¬ed from the usual. Slavenska, as Sal¬ome, went through Oriental contor¬tions over St. John’s head, underlights that were unfortunately in toolow key for their rich colors, andagain died. Spirituals, done by Tih¬mar for Vaslavina, Gansert, andKeane, was cleverly costumed by Pauldu Pont, and although too long, hadsome very moving modem action.The Petite Suite to Debussy con¬tained two wonderful, drifting, deli¬cate pas de deux by Gansert and Vas¬lavina: En Bateau, which portrayedmotion on water, and Ballet, whichwas, simply said, good dancing; andtwo silly solos. *Balkan Sketches, choreographed bySlavenska for Keane and Gansert, hadsome excellent but overlong peasantdancing, and brilliant costumes byMaxo Vanka. Svatovac provided amerry ending to the ballet with a tra¬ditional wedding dance by Slavenskaand Tihmar.Two Chicago TeamsVie In Quiz ProgramOver Station WBBM“The Chicago Brain Battle”, a quizprogram heard weekly over stationWBBM, will, on February 7, have ascontestants two teams from the Uni¬versity.

Of these, one ofthe most prominent is the famedFrench philosopher, Jacquez Maritain.Last Tuesday Dr. Maritain wasguest of honor at a reception at theCalvert Club. He came to Chicagofrom New York where he has beenteaching at Columbia University andthe Free French “Ecole Libre.”Maritain has, for many years, beenEurope's chief exponent of scholasti¬cism. Basing his philosophy on thedogmas of Aristotle and Saint Thom¬as Acquinas, he has long been a fer¬vent denier of the doctrines of purematerialism. Writer of over twenty-four books (“The Things That AreNot Caeser’s,” “Art and Scholasti¬cism,” “France My Country” etc.),teacher at the Institute Catholique ofParis, lecturer at Yale, Toronto, Har¬vard, Columbia, and now Chicago, as¬sociate of Leon Bloc, Charles Dequi,and Beigson, Maritain is regarded bymany as the greatest philosopher liv¬ing today.- Maritain, in appearance, is a manof infinite gentleness. He is of med¬ium height, stands in a bowed,slouching attitude, speaks with a pro¬nounced French accent—^using “zhe”^ for “the”—smokes a pipe, drinks beersparingly, possesses a thick mane ofuntidy grey-white hair, talks in a lowconcise tone, likes to exhaustivelyanalyze every subject brought to his attention. His amiability, however, isdenied by the positive forcefulness ofhis convictions. Mentally, he is nota man given to compromise of anynature.This fact was apparent last Tues¬day night at the home of ProfessorJohn Nef, where Maritain was guestof the Committee of Social Thought.Early in the evening he spoke of therelation of the Catholic Church toreactionary politics.“When there are Christians,” saidMaritain, “who regard their religionwith no spiritual feeling, they willnaturally explain it according to theirown social feelings. Conservatismnaturally results. As long as there isno real revival in the Church itself,the most dangerous enemies of theChurch are those who are Christiansonly externally. When, as in France,a group of young people broke theline between the Church and reac¬tionary politics there came an im¬mense change in the whole Churchand the manner in which it was re¬garded. Anti-clericalism is, after all,always more of a political than a re¬ligious nature.One of Nef’s guests mentioned Mil-ton Mayer’s case and his stand as aconscientious objector.“I absolutely disagree with him,”said Maritain. There is somethingfundamentally wrong with the con¬scientious objector’s position. Theyare, as a rule, very good people, butPre-Creation Of A Political,Economic, And Stable WorldOrder Aired On Round TableThe pre-creation of a politically andeconomically stable world order ofwhich Germany can be made a partwas offered as the solution to theUnited Nation’s policies toward Ger¬many in the postwar era by JamesL.

We must go further;we must wipe it out.” The three menconcluded that extermination of Ger¬man war criminals -will not stand upunder moral judgment, nor will itsafeguard peace in the future.“The^e are strong reasons againstthe success of re-education,” Mr. Mor¬genthau said. “ . . . one can educateonly those who want to be educated. . . education is an outcome of socialconditions that cannot be transferredfrom one system to another.”Fascism is a world problem, thethree men agreed. The American peo¬ple must be prepared to work for thechanges that will activate a new orderas a condition for the stability of theworld—a society of nations in whichGermany can be a part. Frank Gardner, a Kentucky min¬ister, who is working for his degreeof Doctor of Philosophy at the Uni¬versity, was the featured attractionat Chapel Union's weekly session lastSunday. Speaking on “The Functionof Value in the Coordination of Sci¬ence, Philosophy, and Religion”, hewas forced to condense into a fewminutes ideas which, he stated, canreally be understood only after yearsof research.Value, as defined by Mr. Gardner,is “qualitative meaning”. “It is,” headded, “a necessary and basic in¬gredient of all conscious experience.”He emphasized the fact that he wasusing this term as it is understoodby the proponents of the structuraltheory of value who hold that valueis a part of the real world and has areal existence.Value, he said, might be consideredas a system of connected events sorelated that any one may give mean¬ing to all the rest. He stressed the im¬portance, however, of making a dis¬tinction between such a system ofevents and the source of all value.University College LecturesAnnounced By Dean Carl HuthUniversity College of the University of Chicago is sponsoring five series of downtown lectures during thewinter quarter, it was announced byCarl Huth, Dean of the UniversityCollege.William O'Meara, visiting professorin Humanities, and Thomas Hall, as¬sistant professor of biological sciencesin the College, are presenting a seriesof lectures on “The Great Books”,meeting on alternate Monday eveningswhich began last Monday and will con¬tinue through May 29 at the Univer¬sity College, 18 South Michigan Ave¬nue.A.

We hadn*t realized it before—something just came along which simply gave usa new slant on the whole affair. We read a “Chris¬tian Science Monitor’^ article by John Tunis en¬titled “College Graduates At 18^*, and all of asudden realized what a lucky bunch of prodigieswe are.Did you know that people at Chicago onlystudy 2 hours a day? Well it’s true, or at leastMr. Tunis thinks so. He says “students do anaverage oi two hours a day studying out of class,and last year the graduating class worked anaverage of fifteen hours weekly away fromcampus.” Do you take lecture notes? Well, youshouldn’t. “They don’t take notes or memorizedates,” Mr. Tunis says, and if he says it you canbet your boots it’s so.It’s a dream college we’re going to, kids. It’ssugar and cream, chums, waffles and syrup. ThisUniversity of Chicago is a snap school, and it’stime enough that we realized it.“Are the youngsters overworked?” asks Mr.Tunis. “Is this a course designed solely for thetop tenth of the class? No, these are just normalyouth (hear that? normal, he says). You realizeat Chicago, as you talk to students, that mostpeople underrate their children.” You betcha,Mr. Tunis. They certainly do.There is another beautiful fact about Chicagowhich the “Christian Science Monitor” has un¬earthed. “Most of the Chicago Faculty like thisplan because it gives them serious, tough-mindedstudents. It’s fun to work with intelligent young¬sters ... Since attendance in the last years is op¬tional, if a teacher’s lectures get dull, his classwill drift away. The plan quickly shows up ateacher’s shortcomings.” By jingo, the faculty atthis University has to keep on its toes.How did Mr. Tunis discover this wonderfulplace ? We like to imagine a little scene where theman from the “Monitor” is ushered into Presi¬dent Hutchins’ office. Hutchins grasps his visitorfirmly by the hand and flashes the old magneticsmile. Tunis is deeply impressed. He sits down.“I hear you want to find out about the Uni¬versity of Chicago,” says Hutchins.“That’s right,” says Tunis, “they tell me it’ssimply heavenly up here.”Hutchins gives an enigmatic smile. “You saidit,” he says, simply. “This here University ofChicago is the College of the future. Do youthink students at the University of Chicagostudy? Why shucks, no, son. People here justabsorb knowledge—through osmosis. We havediscovered that a pupil is at his prime betweenthe ages of four and six. That’s the time whenhis mind is most pliable. Through our new FourYear College Plan we’re gradually working downto that point.”“Tell me more,” breathes Mr. Tunis.‘Well, for instance,” says Hutchins, “ourfaculty here rarely has to teach anything exceptthe ability to concentrate—to think things out.Right now we’re introducing courses in Yogialong that line. But outside of that, the young¬sters don’t do a damn thing. Most of the timethey just sit around playing mumbley-peg.”“And what do you do, Mr. Hutchins ?”The President gives him a playful nudge inthe arm. “Me—I cut out paper dolls.”Mr. Tunis said: “There is a revolution takingplace right now in American Education.” Wesay: “Vive la revolution!” - the CHICAGO MAROONThis Week On Campus LETTERS TO THE EDITORJanuary 28, Friday—Harriet Monroe Poetry Group presents John Fred¬erick Nims, University of Chicago alumnus, in areading which will include a preview of his workshortly to appear in Poetry Magazine, 6 p.m., Col¬lege Library, Harper M 11.YWCA—“At Home”—at “Y’ office, 3:30-6 p.m.Joseph Bond Chapel, Warder C.

Yes, our little weeklyhas shown improvement. The organ¬ization is better, as is the coverage,and the ups are becoming just a littlemore frequent than the downs.Let me add up on the fingers ofboth hands the difficulties that youhave so courageously surmounted.First there is the ever-present an¬tagonism of the faculty. While this islessening somewhat now, there is stillnot much support from this source.And then there is the by no meanssmall matter of the lack of supportfrom the students in general. This toois changing, but speaking as a formerboard member, I know how it is to tryand put out a paper with a highly un-enthusiastic and extremely small staffoutside of the actual editors on theboard. No matter how untiringly loyalmembers of the board may be withtheir time and efforts, it is dreadfullydiscouraging to come in at 7:30 on aFriday morning (after spending thenight before at the printer’s until 3o’clock in the morning) and find theoffice disconcertingly lacking the tenor twelve people who promised ontheir word of honor to come and helpsell the damn paper.Anyone who has spent at least sixprecous hours sitting in the down¬stairs office of the Chief PrintingCompany waiting for copy to be setup the night before a very importantquarterly exam knows the difficultiesinvolved there. Mere love for the Ma¬roon, and belief that it is importantenough to keep going at almost anycost is the main reason why membersof the staff are willing to sacrificetheir health and happiness, but whenyou see a paper with the words “Fed-ederation”, “Speach” and “Facultyconbine” in the front page headlines,it’s enough to drive even a conserva¬tive little girl like me to drink!So orchids to you, each and everymember of the Maroon staff. SomedayI will write a letter to you telling youeverything that’s wrong with our littleweekly, but why should I do that? Ican read all about that in any issuein letters from people who, don’t knowthe things that you are up against.Shirly VanderwalkerTo The Editor:The tenor of the debates which aretaking place i^ Congress on the Sol¬dier Vote is a 'disgusting commentaryon some of the men chosen to guideour nation’s policy. For the majorityof the people the issue is clear: thesoldiers should have the right to vote.It is as simple as that. The men whoare fighting for democracy should notbe denied the basic right of democ¬racy. The commander-in-chief and thesecretaries of the Army and Navyhave indicated that passage of a Fed¬eral War Ballot Plan is necessary toinsure a practical working method toguarantee this right.The men overseas are not quiet ei¬ther. “Stars and Stripes,” officialArmy newspaper, in a lengthy edi¬torial recently reflected the views ofmen in the Mediterranean area asoverwhelmingly favoring uniform fed¬eral ballots. They strongly opposedthe idea that each of the 48 statescould handle the matter singly.So what is this talk of states’ rightsand 4th term propaganda? We havethe disgusting spectacle'of a SenatorTaft with the 4th term phobia. Wehave a southern Democrat hysterical¬ly raising the sacred banner of states’rights. And so another thing becomesclearer to decent thinking people. Op¬position to the soldier vote stems fromthe depths of reaction and not fromany partisan feeling between Demo¬crats and Republicans. The poll tax Democrats are as bad as the Taftpublicans. It is a unity of reactand suddenly the whole picturecomes clear* We see the reactions]looking ahead to those ’44 electicThey understand that their hands >be strengthened in the denial ofmillion soldier votes. Be sure of tland take heed. Such a step may \mean the return to a 1944 versionHarding “normalcy” with all its psibilities of economic chaos, increble stupidity, and the isolation of (country from the main currentworld democracy. This much isstake, and this is why we find setors and congressmen arrogandenying the most elementary dercratic right to those who mostserve it—the men at the battlefroiWhat can we do?First, each individual should imediately write to Senator Bro(urging his immediate support of 'Green-Lucas Bill. There will be able at Mandel corridor until 1:30day where postal cards will be aviable to students.Each organization and dormibshould wire Brooks with a simimessage.This is a day to day fight in C<gress, and speed is the significant ftor. The Green-Lucas Bill mustpassed in the Senate, despite anfort which will most surely be m£to shelve it, before the House voon its States’ Rights Bill. A parimentary mixup would result if tHouse acts first as the Senate alreahas passed a state-ballot bill, and 1pending Green-Lucas measure csupplant it only if it is passed bef(the House acts.This is not a job for the soldieThey are busy elsewhere. This is cfight.Virginia Kougia.'To the Editor:President Roosevelt’s call for a rtional service act was dynamite tocomplacent public. It exploded aliupon industrialists knee deep in plafor reconversion of industry, upworkers confident that they wemaking their full sacrifice for victoiand upon Congressmen busy applyitheir utmost ingenuity in keepiitaxes down and war profits up.some students at the UniversityChicago, the rumblings were as wdistant as the beaches before Rome.The President’s proposal was paof a five point program designedinsure equality of sacrifice. Nationservice legisalation viewed indepenently puts an unfair burden on labcHowever, the President said, “I wounot recommend a national service hunless the other laws were passedkeep down the cost of living, to shaequitably the burdens of taxation,hold the stabilization line, and to pivent undue profits.” Seen as a coiposite whole Mr. Roosevelt’s plana just and equitable program fachieving the designated goals; biif vested interests are allowed to ejoy special privilege, if industrypermitted to make exorbitant profion war contracts, then we have iright to draft labor.What would a national service amean to you? It would mean that aistudent eighteen or over could be seito any job, anywhere, if in the opiion of designated officials their servi'was needed. This is of vital conceito each one of us.

Will the hotrecord collectors twenty years hence search attics andSalvation Army warehouses for copies of such ditties as“Serenade In Blue”, and “Rhapsody In Blue” whereoncan be heard a few beautiful bars of Hackett’s trumpet?It doesn’t seem likely now, but nevertheless it’s beingdone with Beiderbecke’s trumpet solos on the old PaulWhiteman records.Debussy, the founder of “Impression,” would probablybe greatly interested in the new 12 inch record by JamesP. Johnson of “Impressions.” James P., on this record,uses the whole tone scale on the traditional 12 bar bluesform and thereby produces some very fine Jazz. Thisrecord is backed by “Boogie Stride”, one of the better ex¬amples of eight to the bar music during the last coupleof months.James P. Johnson, by the way, is an oldie as far asjazz goes, for he was the gentleman who taught the lateFats Waller how to play the piano. That was back in theearly twenties in New York when, at 15, little Fats wona prize with his rendition of Johnson’s now famous“Carolina Shout”.Harry James, the jitterbugs’ delight, who rode intothe limelight mainly because Glenn Miller had just riddenout to join the Air Corps, has traded singer Helen For¬rest for Helen Ward. Miss Forrest, with a revitalizednose—she had it remodeled last summer—takes her voiceto parts unknown to do singles: she might well becomethe female Sinatra. Meanwhile, Ward, who was a veteranof Benny Goodman’s band six years ago when MissForrest was still practically unknown is doing a fine jobwith Harry James—who played trumpet in Goodman’sband while Helen Ward was singing in it. The worldstill goes round and round. ,Jose Iturbi, a little out of his line but with a smile onhis face, knocks himself out with a little boogie woogiejnthe picture “Thousands Cheer.” I’m glad he was smilingbecause the boogie was worth a smile if nothing else.Nancy SmithBox OfficeSWING SHIFT MAISIE . . . Ann Sothern undulatesthrough a major portion of this B-budget opus as GoodGirl Maisie, an ex-showgirl who goes to work in a defenseplant for purely patriotic reasons. Swivel-hips Sothernis her picturesque self, slinking through the factory aswolf calls issue from welders’ masks. She promptly re¬ceives the appellation of Dangerous Curves and has oc¬casion to make several snappy cracks about having donedefense work and going through commando raids sinceshe was fourteen.James Craig is the cocky test pilot who wins ourMaisie’s heart, but is snaked away by man-eater Iris(Jean Rogers). Maisie is determined that Iris will betrue to Breezy (Craig) and foxes her unscrupulous de¬signs whenever possible. Iris rebels, departs for the Cot¬tonwood Apts, with Maisie’s slip, nylons and 20 bucks,to sob on the shoulder of a bolt and nut man. Maisiewalks in (“Aha” she says simply), informs Iris testilythat Breezy is returning from the wars on the 10:30plane to claim her for his bride and that she would per¬sonally see that nothing of the kind occurs. Iris cannilydenounces Maisie as a saboteur so that governmentauthorities will pick her up before the plane lands. Butall works out as Maisie would have it and she winds upin the arms of her test pilot while Iris unquietly sizzles.Simple fare, but satisfactory.CRAZY HOUSE . . . The only possible reason for seeingthis heterogeneous mess is that it might unfortunatelybe paired with something one wants to see. (You allknow about the theatre manager who put on the marquee“Same old stuff—one pipperoo, one stinkeroo”). Olson andJohnson knock each other out while not very concernedwith the plot (there is doubt in my mind as to whetherthis is the word I want) and various bewildered peoplekeep bumping into each other seeming to wonder if theywere really in the picture. Patric Knowles and MarthaO’Driscoll do their best but fail to save it. There wasan indescribable somebody (I think he was Russian; whata haircut!) who simply fascinated me but I’m still notsure that he was alive. There were lots of ephemeral gagsand much horseplay, at which I guffawed temporarily.By far the best line in the picture was at the finish whenthe lovers were locked in fierce embrace, he showeringkisses on her upturned face (thanks, P.G.!) Olson (orwas it Johnson?) took out a revolver and shot themdead. “I don’t like happy endings,” he complained. Page RveCarroll AtwaterWhat Price SanityFor a long time, now, an immense block has stood at the foot of theMidway-Plaisance, looking very lost without the statue which it is supposedto support. I have never seen the statue itself; but I did see a photograph ofthe model, and hated it on sight. Albin Polacek, the sculptor, had made alarge and rather shapeless figure on top of an animal—a horse, I think,but it might have been a cow. Anyway, it was in honor of Jan Mazaryk, thehero of Czechoslovakia, and it was to be finished down at the Art Instituteand hauled over to the Midway. Lack of materials stopped the project, andso the base stands. I have been thinking of all sorts of substitutes to topit—an equestrian statue, of Mortimer Adler, say, leafing through a book! orRobert Maynard Hutchins standing straight and tall above a chorus ofnymphs and satyrs.^ 4>At Monday night’s basketball game the impos^dble happened. The refereehad just decreed a foul on Chicago’s side, and the Chicago section of theaudience was booing lustily at him. Suddenly a voice was heard saying clear¬ly, “Why so. Ref?”* « «The subconscious mind is a wonderful thing. A shoe-salesman walkedby me the other day, singing gaily, “Shoe, shoe, shoe, baby!”* « »A friend of mine was asked by a giddy relative whether she was aFrank Sinatra fan. She replied yes, but she liked Aristotle too. The relative'gushed, “Oh, is he new?” My friend was just trying to think of somethingsuitable to say when the relative’s husband piped up, ^‘No, dear, he hasn’tbeen singing for two thousand years!”♦ ♦ ♦There may still be a few people who haven’t discovered the ModernPoetry library, on the second floor of Wieboldt. Besides a superior collectionof books and manuscripts, you can ask Mrs. Donald Bond to let you listento records of Basil Rathbone, John Gielgud, Maurice Evans, and similar ac¬tors reciting. Also available are Carl Sandburg and Gertrude Stein.Zelda Solda, as secretary to Norman MacLean, gets quite a number ofinteresting queries. She received this telephone call yesterday from an anxiousmother: “What were my son’s grades in the Social Sciences and the Humil¬ities ? ”« ♦ «Nancy and I have definitely decided that a certain theatre on the SouthSide is run by a pack of idiots. We have on two separate occasions been thevictims of a certain zealous young usher, both times on the same wild pre¬text. Both times we wandered into the ladies’ lounge to have a cigarette andrehash the movie. And lo, this usher popped his head into the door and said,“You’d better put that out.” Nancy looked questioningly at the ashtray, andthen at me. We went on smoking, rather bewildered. The usher’s head ap¬peared again and said, “I wasn’t kidding, either!” and disappeared. And nextthing we knew there was the head and another head and both of them yellingwith a certain dash of bravo, “Lounge inspection!”Lolly KabrinePlush And TunaSince discovering the potent conducive-to-column-writing-effect affordedby the Kelly Hall “john”—whoops, Mr. Breckinridge—“shower” at 3 a.m. Ihave completely given up the inspiration-at-deadline-approach to this thing. . . from now on I am propped against cold marble wall in flannels Sundaydawnings . . . sort of smacks of bourgeoise Bohemia . . .After hearing mother swoon over telephone wires for more than a weekrelating breathlessly the exquisite agong of Schubert’s “Tragic Symphony”I finally pattered home to hear it and met my second bitter disappointment inlife (number one having been the misconception entertained in my foolishyouth that Eddy Guest, too, was a poet) . . .

L.K.Pag» SixArmed ForcesEarl Hines Slated ToPlay At Junior DanceFor the past few weeks, everyonehas been wondering about the exact [to fete the Senior Cadets near theend of the Senior course. The Navyhere at the University following thewho, when and where, of t e Junior s | ^gather-student tradition also treatgraduation Dance for the Seniors. Itnow seems that the confusion was dueto the fact that Michell Ayres, whowas originally scheduled to play, gotunexpected greetings from the presi¬dent, and as a result had to cancel hiscontract. However Chairman BobWaechter of the Social Committee andhis staff have secured the equallycompetent Earl Hines instead, and fi¬nal plans are now completed.As previously announced, the dancewill be held at the Grand Ballroom ofthe Edgewater Beach Hotel, tomorrownight. The Michigan Room, with itstable service, music, and refreshments,will also be available for Cadets whodesire its use. The committee also an¬nounces that the dance will be semi-formal, but with emphasis on the for¬mal.It has been traditional at this de¬tachment for each Junior Cadet class their Seniors toward the end of theNavy course. Therefore the dance atthe Edgewater Beach will be a jointoperation with Cadets and Ensignsgalore. Military and civilian instruc¬tors as well as the International Housestaff will also take part in the festivi¬ties.Earl Hines, regarded professionallyas one of the originators of swing,has been a star for nearly tw’^entyyears. In a large measure the successhas been due to his own ability at thepiano keyboard where his distinctivetrumpet-piano style has made himfamous. For many years he was afixture at Chicago’s Grand Terrace,and he has played at prominent ball¬rooms and theatres all over the coun¬try. He is probably best known to usby his Victor Bluebird Records, whichwe have all heard and enjoyed.A Little Rain InEvery AST P's LifeProved InevitableInto the life of every man a littlerain must fall, and the ASTP boysseem to be suffering from a cloud¬burst. Altho none of them appears tobe exhausted by lack of sleep overtheir worries, there are many prob¬lems which the fellows are voicing.First and foremost in everybody’smind is the question of the dispositionof the ASTP graduates. This problemnot only allows a favorable chance forall persons to exercise their imagina¬tion, but is also an excellent stimulusto any waning conversation. Variousrumormongers have put the graduatesin every conceivable outfit, situation,and rank, but each statement has thesame initial wording.. .“They’ll prob¬ably send...”The second dilemma—the girls oncampus—is about as serious as thefirst, and enters into even more con¬versations. The main objection tothe campus co-eds is the black homedglasses, which seem to be even morepopular with the girls .than FrankSinatra.These glasses hide everything whichthe dungarees overlook. The gravequestion that has arisen concerningthe dungarees is the reason for every¬one wearing them at half-mast.

When he tried toescape from Germany in 1937 hispassport was withdrawn by the Ges¬tapo. With the aid of AmbassadorDodd, former United States ambassa¬dor to Germany, he secured a newpassport. Eluding the Gestapo a sec¬ond time, he escaped to Luxemburg.From there he came to this country.The Federal Bureau of Investiga¬tion investigated Dr. Bergstraesserafter Pearl Harbor and upon his ap¬pointment here his record was re-in¬vestigated and satisfied the local mil¬itary authorities. Richard P. McKeon,Dean of the Division of Humanitiesand Director of the AST Area andLanguage Program, stated: “Dr.Bergstraesser is one of our most ef¬ ficient teachers. He once taught atHeidelberg. His charges are fond ofhim. Students in other sections ex¬press regret that they are not gettinghis training. Before we brought himhere I investigated thoroughly andread his books and writings. He wasa member of a democratic politicalgroup in Germany, and if one readshis books unsympathetically some ofthe terminology might be construedto convey ideas parallel to Hitler’s be¬liefs.”In “Nine Months of ASTP”, the/earhook of the first graduating classin the Language and Area Programhere.

A foremost German his¬torian in his own right, the varietyof clear and well-integrated historicalmaterial which went into the typicalBergstraesser lecture was indeed im¬pressive. Surprisingly enough for “theman who is trying to steal thepeace . . .” {Click on Bergstraesser,February, 1944) this teacher with histrue insight into the problems of theGerman people has been able to im¬part a good shaie of that truth to hisstudents.”Formation of the American Com¬monwealth party will not affect hisconnection with the Socialist party ofwhich he is National Chairman, stat ¬ed Mr. Krueger. He explained that,like all the other permanent third par¬ties, it has not been an effective elec¬toral instrument; and that, conse¬quently, Socialists have for severalyears been hoping for the developmentof some such new party. It has beenclear for some time, he added, that,when such a party appeared to chal¬lenge both of the present major par¬ties, the Socialists would refrain frompolitical activity in competition withit.
