The Chicago MaroonVol.3, No. 18 Z.149 Friday, February 18, 1944 Price Five CentsAppoint Chester OpalNew Director ChicagoPress Relation BureauFormer newspaperman and studentof the University of Chicago, ChesterH, Opal was appointed Acting Direc¬tor of the Office of Press Relations ofthe University this week. Experienceas a reporter, rewrite man, and fea¬ture writer, and an understanding ofthe University itself make him a log¬ical choice for this position.Mr. Opal began his work last Mon¬day after serving six months as fea¬ture writer and rewrite man for TheChicago Herald-American. Prior tojoining the staff of the American, hedid general reporting and rewrite forthe City News Bureau, ground schoolfor Chicago newspapermen.“I was just sweeping the hall out¬side the City News Bureau one day,”he said when asked how he started inthe newspaper business, “and I toldthem that that sentence wasn’t anEnglish sentence, so they gave me ajob.” Mr. Opal was a member of theCity News Bureau staff for three andone half years.“I first broke into print at the ageof 14 when I had a short story pub¬lished in an anthology with BoothTarkington. Since that time my writ¬ ing, with the excl ision of news stories,has been limited to three books on Il¬linois towns which I did for the Fed¬eral Writers’ Guild.” WilburMunnecke NamedNew Vice President ForFinancial Coordination"Digest" Article OnDream College DrawsA Thousand LettersWhen, last January, Mr. JohnR. Tunis wrote an article in the“Christian Science Monitor”, laterappearing in the “Reader’s Dirrest”,about the University of Chicago, itwas apparent to most people here thatin some way or other the Universitywould benefit from it. This week thearticle’s value to Chicago became ap¬parent.According to the Office of Admis¬sions and Assistant Dean of StudentsScott’s secretary, over 1000 lettershave been received by the Universitywith direct reference to Mr. Tunis’article. Most of them are from eagermothers with offsprings just finishingtheir sophomore high school year.They have read about the Elysianfields of the Midway as painted byMr. Tunis and are eager to place theirchildren in a likewise congenial en¬vironment. Within ten days the Ad¬missions office has been deluged withsuch letters, and at the middle of this'veek they were showing no indica¬tions of letting up.When questioned. Dean Scott’s sec-retary was jubilant about the wholething. “It's absolutely undoubted,”she said, “that the letters’ influence'vill greatly enlarge the size of thisyear’s class.” It is evident that Mr.Tunis’ effort was not in vain.(See “Digest,” page six) CHESTER H.

Probab¬ly one of the youngest men to holdthis position since the establishmentof the Office, Mr. Opal doubtless hasthe capacity and / experience to effi¬ciently execute his new position. New vice-president of the Universi¬ty of Chicago is Wilbur C. Munnecke,former vice-president of MarshallField and Company. His election, an¬nounced February 14 by PresidentRobert M. Hutchins, will become ef¬fective July 1.Hughston M. McBain, president ofMarshall Field and Company, an¬nounced that he had accepted Mr.Munnecke’s resignation because ofMunnecke’s desire to enter the fieldof education. Said Munnecke, “I havea great deal of belief in the Universi¬ty of Chicago and its desire to be, byeveryone’s admission, the greatestUniversity in the world. I want to doanything I can to help.”Election of Mr. Munnecke gives theUniversity three vice-presidents.Working with Emery T. Filbey, whois in charge of educational administra¬tion, and William Benton, administra¬tor to special and extension projects,including Encyclopaedia Britannica,Inc., Encyclopaedia Britannica Films,Inc., and the University of ChicagoRound Tabic, Munnecke will coordi¬nate the business and administrativeaffairs of the University, and willsupervise the works of the treasurer,the comptroller, and the business man¬ager.Mr. Munnecke is convinced that thewhole business side of the UniversityGregor Piatigorsky ConcertReturns Given To ScholarshipThe violincello as a concert instru¬ment is well known among musicians,and many famous composers have de¬voted their talents to enrich the li¬brary of ’cello music. However, unfor¬tunately for music lovers, ’cello reci¬tals are not often heard, nor does onefind as many virtuoso performersamong ’cellists as, for example, amongpianists or violinists. The ’cello is -adifficult instrument, but one that canproduce beautiful sonorous music inthe hands of a master. In the pasttwo decades or more, there have beenonly three or four really great ’cel¬lists. Among the select few is GregorPiatigorsky.This forty year old virtuoso hasearned an enviable reputation in theworld of music as a result of his flaw¬less mastery of his instrument andhis exquisite musicianship. Of Russianbir^h and training, he has been con-certizing extensively throughout theUnited States since 1929. He has ap¬peared with all the major symphonyorchestras both here and abroad in a long series of artistic triumphs. Itwas this reporter’s pleasure to hearMr. Piatigorsky play the Haydn ’Cel¬lo Concerto with the Boston Sym¬phony Orchestra last year. SamuelChotzinoff, eminent music critic, haswritten of Piatigorsky: “In his hands,the instrument sheds its reputed lim¬itations. The lower register yieldsbeautiful sounds, as does the higher... In addition, he is one of the mostpoetic and sensitive performers nowbefore the public.”Consequently, it is with greatpleasure that we can look forward toMr. Piatigorsky’s recital at MandelHall, Friday evening, March 3, at8:30 p.m. The concert is being heldunder the auspices of the Composers’Concerts. The concert is one of unu¬sual interest to the University be¬cause of Mr. Piatigorsky’s express de¬sire that the entire proceeds of thisrecital be devoted to the establish¬ment of a scholarship fund for theDepartment of Music. Details of this(See “Virtuoso,” page eight) of Chicago is only a means for bene¬fiting the academic end of the Uni¬versity.WILBUR MUNNECKE“/ want . . . to help . . .”Announcing the appointment. Pres¬ident Robert Hutchins said, “Mr. Mun¬necke’s election completes the reor¬ganization initiated several years agoto unify the administration of theUniversity. It is fortunate that weare in a position to take this finalstep through the appointment of avice-president with the ability and ex¬perience possessed by Mr. Munnecke.”Munnecke feels that the reason thewhole business affairs of the Univer¬sity can be handled so efficiently isthat the control lies in the hands ofa few people. In other words there area few people who have a pretty goodfeel of the whole University.Since June, 1943, Mr. Munnecke hasbeen adviser on war projects at theUniversity and will continue in thiscapacity for the balance of the aca¬demic year. He has been on militaryleave from Marshall Field and Com¬pany since September, 1942, when he//Walter Johnson ToDiscuss "Parties,Politics and IssuesWalter Johnson, assistant professorof history, will speak before Chapel'Union next Sunday, February 20, onthe subject, “Parties, Politics and Is¬sues.” Professor Johnson, one of theyounger faculty members, has won areputation as an exceptional teacher.Greatly concerned with social affairs,he ran for the aldermanic post in thefilth ward last year in the foot-stepsof Paul Douglas.

A year later hebecame budget director and expensecomptroller in what then was theWholesale Division and then, success¬fully, comptroller of the newly formedManufacturing Division, Chicago man¬ager of that division, assistant treas¬urer, and operating of retail store. In1939 he returned to the Manufactur¬ing Division to assume full charge ofit.Chicago PressPrinting ListThe University of Chicago Press,as usual, is publishing several note¬worthy books this quarter. Prominentamong them are three books whichare collections of lectures given at theUniversity: Voices From UnoccupiedChina, edited by Harley F. MacNair;War and the Law, edited by Ernst W.Puttkammer; and Medicine and theWar, edited by William H. Taliaferro.Voices From Unoccupied China, dueto come out March 21, is a collectionof speeches given in 1943 by sevendistinguished Chinese under the aus¬pices of the Harris Foundation. Thereforms occuring in China now andthose planned for after the war arediscussed. This book furnishes quitea revelation to those occidentals whostill think of our Chinese ally as abackward nation. ♦War and the Law, edited by ErnestW. Puttkammer, is a series of speech¬es that were sponsored by the Wal¬green Foundation. It deals with thechanges "in law caused by war. Someof the vital topics discussed are:Alien Enemies and Alien Friends, byE. W. Puttkammer; The ArmedForces and the Civilian Population,by Max Rheinstein; Law and LaborRelations in Wartime, by Charles 0.Gregory; Cartels and War, by Ed¬ward H. Levi; and Wartime PriceControl by George F. James.

This series(See “Press,” page seven)Page TwoLange Presents WellKnit Chamber GroupFor Mandel ConcertThe outstanding feature of the sec¬ond of the chamber concerts spon¬sored by the Department of Musicwas not the facile playing of ClarkeKessler, solo bassoonist, or the meas¬ured precision of Dorothy Lane in theHandel Concerto, but the precise, co¬hesive playing of the UniversityChamber Orchestra under HansLange, its conductor. The orchestrawhich had already shown its abilityin the Milhaud Symphonie de Prin-temps showed its capabilities Fridaynight in a way which provided apleasant surprise to those of us whoremember the old days of unsuccess¬ful attempts upon ambitious worksbeyond the technical scope of theorchestra. Here was carefully master¬ed material, adequately rehearsed.After a year of wandering in thewilderness, the University again hasan orchestra worthy of a first-rankinstitution.This is not to say that there wereno rough spots. The adagio movementof the Haydn Symphony was turgidand at times the melodic line threat¬ened to disappear under the weightof an overbearing ennui which seemedto characterize the orchestra’s play- Iing. By way of redemption the rest ofthe symphony was played well if notinspiringly. The wind section, so oftena weak spot in years gone by, de¬serves special' commendation for itsmeticulous, outstanding playing.Dr. Lange, acknowledged one of theforemost interpreters of eighteenthcentury music, gave us a fine perform¬ance of these works, providing be¬sides a discreet accompaniment forMr. Kessler in the Mozart BassoonConcerto. His readings were markedby a delicacy of feeling, careful phras¬ing, and a finely drawn melodic line.If the orchestra was not always ex¬pressive of every shade, this is a mat¬ter which can be remedied by time.Dr. Lange, as guiding spirit, deserveshighest praise for this well-knit group.TERESA DOLANDANCING SCHOOL1208 E. 63rd $♦.

Kent of Chicagodonated $150,000 to the University inNovember of 1891 he “set the pace”as the Chicago newspapers reported.The donation came during the cam¬paign to raise a million dollars inninety days. His gift, which was no¬table because of its timeliness andbecause of the genuine generosity onMr. Kent’s part, was used to builda chemical laboratory dedicated to thedonor. Later, for equipment and care,the donation was increased to $235,-000.The building, designed by HenryIves Cobb collaborating with Profes¬sor Ira Remsen of Johns HopkinsUniversity, set a high standard for all^ subsequent university laboratoriesbecause of its unique design and use¬fulness.At the fifth convocation, on Janu¬ary 1, 1894 the building was dedicated.On the right wall near the entranceis a bronze tablet, kept perfectlyshined, which includes a portrait ofMr. Kent and the following inscrip¬tion;“THIS BUILDING IS DEDICATED TO A FUNDAMENTAL SCIENCE|IN THE HOPE THAT IT WILL BE |A FOUNDATION STONE LAID jBROAD AND DEEP FOR THE TEM¬PLE OF KNOWLEDGE IN WHICHAS WE LIVE WE HAVE LIFE.’’The building on the first floor con¬tains a large lecture room at each endand a private research laboratory witha northern exposure.

He urgeda return to the standards of judgmentof Boethius (late fifth century phil¬osopher). He explained Boethius’classification of musicians into threeclasses in order of ascending import¬ance: 1. the performer, 2. the com¬poser, 3. the musicologist. He charac¬terized the performer of today, “Play¬ers first follow their own vanity; thensatisfy the lowest desires of the aud¬ience . . . The conductor is the typicalrepresentative of our time, an or¬ganizer. The conductor trys to con¬vince the audience he is experiencingthe depths and heights of musicalemotion.

The exhibi-tion is open to the public daily exceptSunday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Satur.days, 9 a.m. to 12 noon at 108 Good-speed Hall.The works exhibited are divided in¬to three categories; a group of largeoriginal engravings, a series of smalletched Flemish landscapes, and sev¬eral facsimiles of drawings and watercolors.

Directed by Jere Mick¬el, the comedy-fantasy will contain anuntried, though potential, cast. Al¬though the Dear Brutus is the firstplay Mickel has done for O.D.P., hehas proved himself an able directorin several successful productions inthe first two years of the College.From the caliber of his previousplays, a Comedy of Errors, TheImaginary Invalid, and the forth¬coming Dear Brutus, it is apparentthat Mickel has a passion fortackling vehicles of which most otherworkers with amateurs are leary. Mr.Mickei has recently been appointed anassistant director in the O.D.P.The usually elaborate sets of Dear Brutus will be made as simple andeffective as possible. The designs have 1been carefully worked out by MalkahPoitin, and will be executed by a com¬petent production crew. The involvedforest scene in the second act will bea combination of curtains and strik-1ing lighting effects, with a “practical”tree in the foreground. By these de¬vices, O.D.P. hopes to paint the il¬lusion of a deep and mystical wood¬land. “We intend to construct oursetting from a suggestive rather thana realistic point of view,” saidMickel.Two previous plays presented thisseason on campus. Night Must Falland Claudia, have kept the standardof the Office of Dramatic Productionsat a fairly high level. We hope DearBrutus will equal or even surpass theother productions.

Shedecided a siege at the U. wasn’t com¬plete without a little knowledge ofthe workings of the stage, and hiedherself over to O.D.P.It seemed Jere Mickel could use aManager of Scenery Construction forDear Brutus, whose duties would besimply to tell other people how topaint and hammer and saw—and didshe know anything about Jighting?She’d watched the master electricianfor the Ballet Theatre go throughsome of his cues, and worked spotsfor a couple of Sunday School plays.“See,” he said to a man at anotherdesk, “I knew if I prayed, a lightingexpert would show up.”Since that time, he found someoneto take charge of the lighting mech¬anisms (under the title of Stage Man- jager)—and some wonderful peoplewho gather props and cart things jfrom Mandel to Swift to the carpenter ishop, and back again.“You’ll have to talk with the de¬signer,” he informed the new hand.“Heckled” would have been a betterword . . . producers and designersnever can seem to agree how the heckto get that thing on the paper upon the stage. (Reminder to ask herhow long actors can stand breathingAmmonia plus HCL fumes; or if shecan effect beams of light with paint.)After the foray with the artists, theyoung hopeful started on her trek forThe world premiere of Paul Hind¬emith’s new piano work Ludus Tona-lis, which took place on the third ofthe Department of Music’s Composers’Series last Tuesday night, revealeda work almost overwhelming in itsconception and proportions. Therewere twelves fugues in as many tonal¬ities, with interludes between, thewhole prefaced by a prelude and con¬cluded by a postlude. As to be ex¬pected in a work of such size thewriting is not all of uniform quality.There were long stretches of musicwhich were extremely interesting onthe printed page but in performanceassumed a monotonous oneness.Large sections of the work, whichseemed to be reminiscent of Debussy’schord progrssions, may be traced tothe fact that both Hindemith and De¬bussy resorted to the same medievalharmonization known as organum, inwhich the parts move in parallel linesinstead of in opposition as in modern,conventional counterpoint. Architect¬urally the work is one of the giantsof the twentieth century. It is a note¬worthy contribution to the literatureof the piano in a century which hasseen a decline in the amount writtenfor the instrument. The programlikened the work to Bach’s “Well-Tempered Clavichord”: a more aptcomparison would be with the “Art material. The job really provided fora sightseeing tour of the city, whatwith visits to Dazien’s for cloth inthe midst of the blizzard, a tramp toa lumber yard, and a street-car rideto some hardware store out in Kish-neff for chicken wire—if you comebackstage after the show, you cansee what it’s for.The cast is probably having theirtroubles, too, especially with the lim¬ited time the Army gives them inMandel. But, they will have worsetroubles, if they can be recruited Sat¬urday and Sunday to help constructthe scenery, and pray that it getsdone while Mandel is still open. Thelighting, too—b(y some miracle—issupposed to be arranged Sunday.And back to lighting, a few readersmight remember the Monday nightperformance of Ballet Theatre’s DimLustre. In the midst of the firstscene, the shoulder straps on NoraKay’s already decolette gown broke,leaving Miss Kay clutching it toher neck. The next morning, one ofthe critics commended the “quickwitted electrician” for turning out thelights just at the breaking point. Theelectrician didn’t even know what hadhappened until he saw the review; hewas far too busy watching his cuesand the stage manager to see the ac¬tion on stage. All he knew was thatthe #1 fuse, to which all the lightsthat were on at the time were connec¬ted, blew; and it took him severalseconds to transfer the plug to the#3 box.Well—the luck of the Theatre ;..of Fugue.”The most attractive portions of thework were the opening prelude whichhad a broad, majestic fiow; the pas¬torale after the second fugue, a quietpiece; the fifth and seventh fugues,which provided effective contrast forMr. MacGregor’s digital dexterity andlegato touch. Audience opinion set¬tled on the march, the interlude afterthe sixth fugue, as the most vital por¬tion of the piece.Mr. MacGregor, who toiled so val-iently with Ludus Tonalis, was joinedby Ernest Liegel, first fiutist of theChicago Symphony, in a performanceof the Sonata for Flute and Piano.The work possessed a charm and apleasant lilt. The concluding numberon the program, the Sonata for Piano,Four Hands, joined the composer withMr. MacGregor. Mr. Hindemith pos¬sesses a high degree of technical ex¬cellence as a pianist: he does not“play like a composex^”Hindemith’s music is largely in thenature of mental exercise for the lis¬tener, and is not likely to become apart of the general repertory. Themusic is of the type which will remainthe plaything of a small clique ofHindemith admirers and pedants whodelight more in technical exercisesthan in music which invites repetitionby its melodic attractiveness. The University of Chicago is dis¬tinctive in that its faculty membersdo not allow themselves to be re¬stricted by the confines of their pro¬fession. One of the most eminent ex¬ponents of the full professorial lifeis T. Walter Johnson, Professor ofHistory. A prominent, if unsuccessful,Aldermanic candidate, outstanding inthe honored membership lists of liber¬al committees, and an authority in hisown field, Johnson is no ivy bounddodderer in pedantic fields.Although he teaches in the SocialSciences Division, Johnson regardshimself primarily as an historian. Heis emphatic concerning the relationof his field to the division. “History,”says Johnson, “is the basis of SocialScience. Without it the Social Sciencesare glib and superficial. No modernsituation can be understood withouta knowledge uf its antecedents; thepresent can never be studied withouta groundwork in the past.“I was talking, for instance, withan instructor here in the Universityon the role of the Senate in determin¬ing America’s role in foreign affairsafter the war. suggested^ that theentire problem could be better under¬stood if we examined Congress’s ac¬tions in 1919 and 1920. He merely re¬plied: ‘That’s just history—unimpor¬tant.’American Policy TowardsSpain Supports FascismDecided on Round TableThe Spain of today is a fasciststate and American policy towardsSpain, since the beginning of theSpanish Revolution, has resulted insupporting fascism and breaking downdemocratic forces, the speakers of theUniversity Round Table agreed, on theFebruary 13 broadcast.Professor Hans Morgenthau of theDepartment of Political Science, de¬clared, “Our policy towards Spainsince the Civil War there has dis¬couraged our real friends in Spain,encouraged our enemies, and com¬pletely confused the American publicconcerning the real issues in relationsbetween America and fascist Spain.In short, we helped to break down therepublican government and the demo¬cratic forces in Spain and upheld thefascist movement.”The Round Table speakers agreedthat American policy toward Spainhad been shaped by various influencesand circumstances of the past, amongwhich were: British policy, the Churchand the Vatican, the fear of Commun¬ism, and misinformation about Fran¬co.Irving Pflaum, foreign editor ofThe Chicago Times said, “The presentturn of events is giving us our firstopportunity to be against Franco . . .We should show the rest of Europethat we will stand for the ideals thatwe say we support ...”Professor Francis McMahon, of theDepartment of Philosophy, added,“We do not want either a rightest ora leftist government in Spain. Wewant an American policy which willhave not only American interests inmind but also those of humanity.” “But you cannot understand today’sproblems or its future unless youknow the past. As Carl Sandburgsaid: ‘How can we know where weare going if we do not know what hasgone before?’ I don’t say that we canestablish a definite pattern of history—I’m no formalist—but no investiga¬tion in any field of the Social Sciencescan be grasped in its entirety unlesssome attempt is made to discover theconditions that brought it about.”This, according to Johnson, is thebasic trouble with many sociologistsor historians, too, for that matter.When a So^’iologist attempts to ex¬amine a problem without taking intoaccount any but the superficial, ap¬parent aspects of the case, his re¬sults are bound to be glib half truths.In the same way, too many historiansbury themselves in a pile of deadfacts. They have as great a respon¬sibility as the Sociologist to deal withboth fields; to compare the past andthe present and draw conclusionsfrom both.History itself, thinks Johnson, can¬not properly be restricted to any onedivision. The teacher of history in theHumanities Department has the sameresponsibilities and functions as theinstructor in Social Sciences. Both arehistorians; they deal with the samematerial. The history student in ei¬ther one of the divisions will learnConnerton And FinnOn Calvert Club*sLecture ScheduleNext Sunday evening, the CalvertClub, Catholic student organization,will present the first of this quarters’series of religious discussions. Anintroductory talk by Father Conner¬ton titled “The Nature of Faith” willbe followed by an open group discus¬sion. the same facts, even though his othersubjects may be different. __To the person who, however, hasany desire to know the world aroundhim, a knowledge of history is essen¬tial. “It is true that a man, for in¬stance, who wants to study the condi¬tion of the Negroes down here on theSouth Side, could amass a certainamount of cogent facts. He could ob¬serve their housing conditions, thesdiools they go to, the atmospherethey live in, but unless he knew wherethese people came from, why andwhen, and how they have lived inChicago in the past, he can have noreal knowledge of how they are liv¬ing now or what will become of them.A man who wants to know what kindof world we’ll be living in ten yearsfrom now won’t be able to reach anydecision if he trifles over juvenile de¬linquency and similar out of the wayminutiae.”Walter Johnson is a barrel chestedman with a ruddy face and quick,darting eyes. When he speaks hisvoice runs away with him; he movesaround in his chair, leans over hisdesk, waves his arms around. At thesetimes resembling a stout cherub, heis a professor who believes what hesays and knows how to say it.Dougherty Views JapRelocation For ForumStudent Forum’s weekly meetingwas held Thursday, February 17, in¬stead of Friday, this week.

That cagey little article that appeared un¬der your byline in the “Chicago Tribune” wasreally the dearest little thing in its line thatwe’ve read in a long time.Somehow or other you, a man of God, wereassigned to write a squib about the search for anew University motto we’re having down hereon the Midway. You could have made it a dullthing, lacking life and joy and vigour, but, blessyou, you chose to take the fun loving attitudeabout the matter. You saw, with that impishsense of humour for which your friends love you,something vaguely amusing about the wholething. Your attitude toward the matter is slight¬ly nebulous, true. It is hard to figure out, butthe general idea is that, although most Univer¬sity mottoes are rather silly, the idea of improv¬ing on them is rather ridiculous in its way, too.Once the Board of Trustees has clapped a mottoon a University, even though it may be some¬thing like “Excelsior!” or“Gee, we’re swell and that’s no joke:We’re going places, watch our smoke,”the benighted institution should stick by it. Andif it’s worded in a language that none but highschool teachers understand, that’s okay, too, al¬though it may read something like “Gallia inPartes Tres Divisa Est.” Any old motto’s allright with you, just as long as nobody gets theidea of changing it.We look at it in a different way. We thinkthat a motto should express the principles andmotives upon which an institution is founded.It should not be any Latin “mumbo-jumbo” orsophomoric watchword: a motto should be amature, intelligent and well worded expressionof a University’s real nature. The mottoes yougave in your article are good examples of whatwe mean. Trinity College is undoubtedly a fineschool, but the motto “Thru rigor to the stars”frankly doesn’t mean a lot to us. It just doesn’tmove us. Reverend. And don’t you think Prince¬ton’s “Under the might of God it will flourish”and Northwestern’s “Whatsoever things aretrue” are both sort of hazy ? So do we.The point is that our present motto, “CrescatScientia Vita Excolatur” strikes us the sameway. We’ve had it ever since the Universitystarted,'but just the same it has the same ring This Week On CampusFebruary 18, Friday—Noon worship service, Joseph Bond Chapel, HaroldE.

The idea “let knowledge flourishthat life may flower” seems to us both pompousand a little bit silly. Moreover, it doesn’t make anawful lot of sense. We think, therefore, that ifwe have a bad motto it should be changed, andthere is no reason why it should not be done assoon as possible.Just one other thing. Reverend. The name ofthis publication is THE CHICAGO MAROON,not the “Daily Maroon”, as you called us. Thank¬ing you, we remain.Sincerely,THE CHICAGO MAROON LETTERS TO THE EDITORThis column is open to any student or faculty member of the Univer-nty of Chicago. The only liwutaHen set on letters is that they should be onsubjects of interest and concern te CHICAGO MAROON readers.)To The Editor:THE CHICAGO MAROON finds it¬self in the not very enviable positionof advocating one thing on the right-hand side of page 1, and another onthe left. I refer to the issue of Feb¬ruary 11, where on the one hand theMaroon berates the University for itshigh-handedness in imposing the newplan of faculty salaries, and on theother co-operates in the high-handednotion of breaking down by fiat of theLord (Hutchins) and evident servileacquiescence of the archangels,(Board of Trustees) and old-estab¬lished, worthy, and eminently superiorUniversity institution—the motto, andthus the coat-of-arms and seal, of theUniversity.This is quite evidently another stepin Hutchins’ deliberate attempt toordain and establish, beyond anyshadow of doubt, the fact that anyresemblance between our school andthe University of Chicago from July1, 1891 to July 1, 1929, is purely co¬incidental. As a matter fact, manygood and wise men were graduatedfrom the University before we werevisited by the Divine Presence, inspit of the fact that they played foot¬ball and never took Observation, adnauseum.Do not take me as an opponent ofMr. Hutchins’ educational reforms—those that possessed some measure ofsanity, anyway. This is my four¬teenth year on campus, and so I be¬lieve I am in some slight measurequalified to give the accolade to theCollege, 2-year degree, etc., inasmuchas it was on me and my classmatesthat “The Boys” were making manyof the educational experiments thatled to the adoption of such reforms.To return to the original question—that of the motto. The present oneappears most suitable to me, and iswell and handsomely placed. TheUniversity’s coat-of-arms depicts thephoenix rising from the ashes, sym¬bolic of the rise of Chicago after theGreat Fire of ’71, and of the building,two short decades after that catas¬trophe, of such an institution as ourUniversity. Surmounting this, wehave the open book, buckled, (thusindicating its medieval character—sowhat—does Mr. Hutchins think of theChicago of the 90’s as a greater cul¬tural center than the medieval uni¬versities ?) with the motto in modifiedEnglish Gothic type, perfectly har¬monizing with the architecture of theUniversity buildings. All in all, it isa most appropriate, simple, and ex¬pressive coat-of-arms.As td the actual wording, I preferto use that translation employed inthe Fiftieth Anniversary publicity—“let knowledge grow from more tomore and thus be human life en¬riched.” This sentiment is a perfectone, and any fool who thinks of “en¬riching life” in the pecuniary sense,as the President feels might happen,doesn’t possess enough gray matterto have anything to do with the Uni¬versity, anyway. As for the inappro¬priateness of Latin as contrasted toEnglish, this is just a case of Scho- tlastic Hutchins calling the kettleblack.Just as a final touch, think of twolittle matters. First, if Mr. Hutchins’suggestion were adopted, or somesuch affair approaching a Doctor’sthesis in length, we’d have a gorymess like Cornell’s seal—you don’thave to go any farther than the fa-cade of the Chapel to see it. Secondly,think of the enormous physical prob¬lem—changing stone carvings in adozen places on campus, fifty thou¬sand diplomas with obsolete seals,etc.Please enter me in your motto con¬test.

As a matter of fact one can learnjust about anything he wants to from all this literatureso I thought it might not be a bad idea to list a few ofthem. It must be remembered, though, that jazz is stillin the discussion stage and people’s opinions differ wide¬ly; don’t take anybody too seriously.First of all we have a couple of books written by someFrenchmen. One, called “The Real Jazz”, written by Hu-gues Panassie is a book which tells the world that NewOrleans music is the only music that is “hot”. Best thingis a chapter about jazz in relation to classical music—very fine. Another book, (by another Frenchman), “HotDiscography”, is practically the best of them all becauseit lists all the jazz records Charles Deluanay (the French¬man) knew about at the time he wrote the book. Itserves as the reference book for all collectors and, al¬though incomplete, it is a great step in the direction of acomplete list of worthwhile jazz records.“Jazzmen”, edited by Charles Smith and FredericRamsey Jr. contains articles by many authorities on thesubject of jazz and is the best all around book to date.“The Jazz Record Book” by Charles Smith traces thedifferent phases of jazz in its first chapters and thenlists many famous records and discusses them. “TheYearbook Of Popular Music” by Paul Miller has a chap¬ter on how to listen to hot music, biographies on manymusicians and the valuations of some of the more rareand most looked for records. It tells you that if you wantto spend 25 bucks for a Louis Armstrong Hot Five rec¬ord, someone will sell it to you.Benny Goodman’s book, “The Kingdom Of Swing”,is more or less of an autobiography; Louis Armstrong’sis called “Swing That Music”, and is just about the samething. Both of these are interesting because they givethe musicians’ point of view instead of critics’.Next week I’ll have some words about the “little”magazines, as they’re called; the “rags that keep the ballrolling”.Nancy SmithBox OfficeThe current royal flush at the World Playhouse issomething not to miss. The bill consists of the revivalsof “Catherine the Great” and “Private Lives of HenryVIII”, which have been barnstorming the country sincetheir first appearance in 1933.Both are embroidery on history, but such delightfultapestries that one does not care. Henry is made out asa kind of 16th century Charlie Chaplin, while Catherine,the darling of the bed-chamber, is portrayed as a dewy-eyed ingenue who develops through successive emotion¬al crises into the determined savior of Russia.Laughton, as Henry VIII, is quite lewd, crude and un¬attractive. In fact one wanted, in the words of DaisyMae, to pound the screen and yell “Yo’ fat sloppy beast!”Do not misunderstand, however—this is one of Laugh¬ton’s best characterizations. He has captured perfectlythe pompous stance, portly stupidity and bestial degen¬eration of the Holbein portrait. “Delicacy and mannershave gone from the land,” he complains, throwing chick¬en bones over his shoulder.It was interesting to see famous actors and actressesin bit parts, just at the time they made their first bidsfor fame. Merle Oberon is ill-fated Ann Boleyn, WendyBarrie is ill-fated Jane Seymour and Binnie Barnes isill-fated Katherine Howard. In fact, any woman whomarried Bluff King Hal had a rather unpleasant time ofit. Elsa Lanchester, adorable as the clever Ann of Cleves,emerged with nary a scratch. Robert Donat and JohnLoder, ten years ago in the bloom of youth, have smallstooge parts.One notable thing about “Henry VIII” is the subtlehumor before the age of the boys with the blue pencils.The techniques of photography and direction were sur¬prising for as early as 1933.“Catherine the Great” is illuminated by the personal¬ities of both Bergner and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. Fair¬banks plays skillfully her paranoiac husband Peter theGreat. Another stellar appearance was made by the lateSir Gerald du Maurier as Fairbanks’ French valet. Thehearty Empress Elizabeth was robustly executed byFlora Robeson. Carroll AtwaterWhat Price SanityThe premeteorology class had a commencement Saturday, the most effi¬cient commencement in a long time. Everything went off beautifully untilthe awarding of certificates, when the newspaper cameramen, who had pre¬viously concealed themselves coyly in the choir loft, started to posture aroundthe altar getting angle shots.The occasion produced two speeches, one by Wilbur C. Munnecke, theUniversity’s new* vice-president, and one by Colonel John G. Salsman, whoseemed to be having .more fun than any of the meteorology boys. ColonelSalsman also delivered handshakes and congratulations, in the most jovialfashion possible.I* 4c If:Scarcely had last week’s column appeared when a Soc reading wangledits way into my sight, carefully footnoted by a conscientious student withobvious parlor-pink leanings. One chapter was summarized with a simple“Bosh—pure bosh!” After that followed a section on traditional relationshipsin American history, whereupon the note-taker had uttered, “Devil take ‘tra¬ditional relationships’!” I think that this sort of thing would make some Uni¬versity-hater deliriously happy; all that shocking Bolshevism, you know.♦ ♦ ♦By the way, if you have not yet come across “Winds Over The Campus,”don’t fail to look it up. It’s a very interesting novel by the late ProfessorJames Weber Linn, lovingly known as “Teddy”, who is one of the great tra¬ditions in campus history. The book concerns the famous Walgreen case,which happened before my time but is one of those lovely things I will alwaysregret missing.« « «It’s almost three weeks since I’ve inserted a Mr. Rowland story, whichis a long, long time for me. Favoritism is scarcely the word; Mr. Rowland isthe essence, the quintessence, the be-all and the end-all of “What Price Sani¬ty?”, and I am powerless to leave out any of his bons mots.This week’s story is about a young man who, all through last year’s longwinter, used to arrive in class five minutes late. Mr. Rowland overlooked itfor a few days, but finally he could take it no more. “Tell me,” he said, themorning of the crisis, as the young man blew in, “do you rush down from theKlondike every morning?”Lolly KabrinePlush And TunaA week has passed by with very little in the way of stimulating anec¬dotes and events breezing by... probably the only thing that prompted sur¬vival these last seven days were the two smuggled-across tickets for theHorowitz recital March 20 that meandered over this way...Maybe this is a good time to put the more nocuous reading element ofthis column at ease.. .please be they informed that I am not trying to carryon music criticism right here; that there is almighty discouraging array ofthings about conducting and composing that I know nothing of; that myhumble contribution to this page is not an anti-Lange, Stravinsky, Prokofieff,Cassidy campaign, but merely my own unsubstantiated, prejudiced reactionsto things varied and sundry and the “I’s” and “mine’s” predominating areto convince you that this is personal opinion and strictly not vox pop.. .O.K.?Accidentally chancing upon the last number of Paul Hindemith’s con¬cert Tuesday left me with an awfully nice feeling inside.. .It’s the first“modern” music that ever prompted similar reaction...

Nationalbrotherhood is a step toward worldbrotherhood.Brotherhood begins at home. Manychildren have had playmates of otherraces who have been unconscious ofthat fact till they heard their parentsspeak of them disparagingly as“Wops” or “Niggers” or “Chinks”.Brotherhood begins with a wholesome,tolerant and understanding attitudetoward all peoples.This spirit must go on to make it¬self felt in the business and industrialworld.

Graduate InitialDetachment Of• THE CHICAGO MAROON -Collegiate TrainedASTP’s Take FirstView Of UniversityThe recently transferred pre-medi¬cal students into the ASTP unit atthe University of Chicago are unlikemost groups of new students in thatthey have all had previous collegework in ASTP, many having attendedcolleges during civilian days. Exceptfor that fact, the group, known col¬lectively as the Second Medical Com¬pany, is as uninitiated as the greenestfreshman regarding the educationalpolicies of the University.The first impression one gains ofthe school is from the physical ap¬pearance of its buildings—the Tudor<jothic architecture suggests almostmonasteric connotations. Yet no mon¬astery ever housed such progressiveideas and aids to learning: witness thesmall class discussion groups, candidanalyses of world affairs both presentand past, and visual-aid equipment inso many classrooms and lecture halls.As many of these advantages aspossible are made available to theG.I.’s stationed here, with a definiteand favorable reaction resulting whentheir use is compared to the methodsused in many other schools whereinstructors act as little more thanmediums between textbook and stud¬ent’s notebook. Thought provocationseems a trait common to most facultymembers here, who employ their lec¬tures as supplements to textbook ma¬terial and as pointers to readingswhich demand special attention.With regard to the administrationof ASTP on campus, several signifi¬cant connotations are apparent. Thecommissioned personnel of the unittakes the attitude that the G.I. hereis first a student and second a soldier.Thus, accord with the purposes ofASTP gives the students maximumopportunity for study, an absolutenecessity with the concentrated andaccelerated curricula most of themare taking.At the same time, it requires the'student to practice the points of per¬sonal neatness which were commonbefore the Army stepped in: shinedshoes, neatly-kept quarters, and goodpersonal conduct.The liberal attitude of both collegeand unit administrations give basisfor further observ'ations and furnisha certain anticipation as to what willbe seen.Tempus, which fugits alternately onwings of cast iron “and tissue paper,will tell its own story.Meteorologists GetFurther AssignmentFollowing FurloughsThe sixty-four dollar question of theyear has finally been answered.

With lankyJack Markward gone long ago andcenter Lou Dietelbaum two weeks inthe Army, the Midway squad stillshows no signs of giving up.That is why Chicago’s defeat lastSaturday at the hands of Michiganto the tune of 74 to 41 is no tragicdefeat. As usual, the Maroons fell farbehind early in the game. For a fewminutes in the beginning they man¬aged to hold a two or three point lead.It did not last long. Michigan’s wellknit power, constantly replenished bysubstitutes, swept the Maroons up anddown the floor. Small, fighting DickFurry tried to stem the tide and, asin most games, was ridden down byopposing brawn and height. At theend of the game a Chicago team whichhad faced the Ann Arbor men withoutrespite for two periods went off thefloor with their second best Big Tenscore of the season. Midway high- point came last month when they lostto Ohio state with a finishing score of44.Chicago did, however, have the dis¬tinction of highest individual scorer.I Flying Fred DeGraw, in his first fullgame since his knee was injured inthe Ohio game, managed to rack up17 points before it was over. Michi¬gan’s Dave Strack was hot on hisheels with 15, but De Graw remainedone of the few players of whom Chi¬cago can be honestly proud.For a long while, now, the teamsopposing Chicago have seemed to feela certain respect for the Maroon’sconsistent, if futile, fighting spirit.Any team which, although any chancesof winning a game are as remote asMount Everest, nevertheless continuesto give all it has in game after game,demands the admiration of the menopposing it. This feeling was evidentlast month in the slaughter at North¬western. Although Iowa State evi¬dently felt itself above such senti¬ments, Michigan did not. After’ amonth and a half of Big Ten competi¬tion, Chicago now occupies a positionwhich is in no way shameful.REMEMBER JOE COLLEGE?ThereVe been some changes made since this guygraced a grandstand—but Arrows are still topfavorites for shirts!Arrow Shirts have the incomparable Arrowcollar which lies smooth and comfortably on yourneck, the Mitoga figure-fit construction, and theSanforized label guaranteeing fabric shrinkageless than 1%.

The boysfrom Jones Chemical staged the most |impressive win with a resounding 43to 5 victory over the Dukes. The Bill¬ings Boys achieved their secondstraight easy win by downing Psi Up- jsilon, 32 to 10. In a surprising upsetthe College Ponies went into overtimewith University House to gain an 18to 15 triumph.Hoekstra and Jensen, scoring 16and 10 points respectively for JonesChem, were the evening’s high scor¬ers. The Ponies played an even andcommendable game to offset Green’sseven points for U. House. Branthav-er scored 9 for Billings which wasalmost enough in itself to down thePsi U’s, who were forced to use a PhiSig to put five men on the floor.In a postponed encounter JonesChem succumbed to a fighting Ma¬roon squad, lowering them into secondplace. The Billings Boys count onriding through University House,Z.B.T. and Pi Lam in their remaininggames and expect to tangle with theMaroons or Jones Chemical in theplayoffs.
