The students workedround the clock making themselvesuseful to the C.I.O. strikers.Students Wave BannersWaving banners m the picket line,doing clerical work in the union’s of¬fice, painting signs, and helping theunion move to new headquarters areincluded in the list of accomplishmentsachieved by this diverse universitygroup comprised of graduate, divi¬sional, and four year college students.The volunteers tried to arrange theirservice hours at times when the strik¬ers most needed them. A shift from4:30-6:00 A.M. was a common onefor the university strikers.Crisis DiscussedInterest in the Ward situation wasfirst brought to light here at an openmass meeting held a month ago underthe auspices of the Labor Rights’ So¬ciety. Led by Professor Francis Mc¬Mahon, an overall picture of the Wardcrisis was discussed and a C.I.O. rep¬resentative talked to the group. Wardactivity continued here, and at leasttwo weeks before the strike, sudentswere already volunteering their ser¬vices to the union. Although the strikeis over. University students are stillshowing their interest in it by activeaid to the workers. This is particular¬ly true of the Labor Rights’ Societywhose organizational aim is to studythe political angles of the present la¬bor movement.Net a Club FunctionA Labor Rights’ Society facultysponsor. Dr. James Luther Adams,who also ^cts as vice-president ofthe organization, stressed the pointthat the Ward strike activity was nota specific club function although manyof the society did participate in it.An interesting sidelight to theWard affair is the action the businessdepartment of the University in turn¬ing over its proxies of MontgomeryWard voting stock to the backers ofSewell Avery, a member of the Uni¬versity Board of Trustees at the re¬cent stockholders meeting. This is indirect contrast to Yale University, al¬so a Montgomery Ward stockholder,which placed its proxies at the dis¬posal of the minority group fightingAvery and his labor policies.with many people working on them.”There has further been the birth oflarge ipter-departmental committees,tackling problems important to com¬munity life.The appointment of a successor tothe vice-presidency has not yet beenconfirmed, but by tradition the Deanof Faculties, now Ernest A.

Bach To BaxChausson AppraisedA set of Victor’s recording of Er¬nest Chausson’s Symphony in B Flat,Op. 20, done by Stock and the ChicagoSymphony, issued as a memorial toDr. Stock, has finally come to hand.It is a fine, clean performance withadequate recording of a worthy repre¬sentative of the Franckian school anda work which should be listened toagain and again. It has, moreover.Just the right touch of opulence tomake the work full-blown. There is,however, one negative factor whichdetracts from the value of the per¬formance. With characteristic aban¬don, Dr. Stock saw fit (?) to departfrom the composer’s original inten¬tions in the last movement: in the22 bars commencing at the grave at“0,” our Symphony’s organist has alovely(!) solo passage which the com¬poser had scored for 4 horns, 4 trum¬pets, 3 trombones, tuba, and kettle¬drums.

Professor Edwardsdid not follow the popular Hookertranslation alone, but drew sectionsfrom all four English versions of theplay.Although his conception of .Cyranowas a trifle spotty in places, his in¬terpretations of the minor characterswere excellent. Considering the dif¬ficulty of carrying the continuity ofsuch a play as Cyrano, of maintain¬ing such a variety of tone as to dis¬tinguish between the characters, andof keeping the audience’s interestwithout theatrical props, ,ProfessorEdwards did a very commendable job.In order to keep the play from drag¬ging out too long, a few of the sec¬tions of lesser importance were omit¬ted.The reading of Cyrano was preced¬ed by a round table discussion Mon¬day night on drama and education.Participants’were Cecil Smith, Secre¬tary of the Department of Music;Clarence H.

On Friday last at 8:30 p.m., a cour¬ageous group of students under theguidance of the Office of DramaticProductions staged Ibsen’s “HeddaGabler” in Mandel Hall. I say coura¬geous, because there are few otherplays in the entire repertoire of thetheatre which are as difficult to pre¬sent as “Hedda” for both professionalactors as well as amateurs.Unfortunately, most of the actualdifficulties encountered were of a tech¬nical nature which must be regardedas lapses in direction, rather than theshortcomings of individual perform¬ances. The expository first act wasdrearily paced, and the dialogues be¬tween Aunt Juiana and George Tes-man became pointless in their dramat¬ic effect when Tesman made his firstentrance, caught the key of Aunt Jul¬iana, and maintained that monotonousplane for the rest of the evening. Thefirst act picked up considerably whenHedda, in the person of Mary Dia¬mond, made her entrance, but evenshe was unable to save the act, es¬pecially during the scene with Mrs.Elvsted.The second act was even worse, withall sorts of lapses in pace, stage busi¬ness, and garbled lines. Particularlybad was the impossible exit of HeddaRepeat PerformanceOf Faure RequiemProves SuccessfulAgatha Lewis, replacing Claire Duxas soprano soloist in the repeat per¬formance of the Faur4 Requiem lastSunday, gave a satisfactory accountof herself, considering that she hadto step into the role on last minutenotice. McEnery, the baritone soloist,was again in fine voice. The Latinpronunciation was again execrable,and the resulting diction was prac¬tically incomprehensible. The choirmet the standard which it had setthe week previous.—F.I.G. from down stage right to down stageleft in a dead silence. This is merelypoor planning, as was the bit of busi¬ness that Judge Brack had in makingan obstacle race of his attempt to re¬turn Hedda's pistol to a table drawer.It wasn’t until Eilert Lovborg madehis entrance, that Hedda found anyoneon’ stage capable enough to share inproducing an entertaining play.By the time the third act was reach¬ed, the actors found themselves suffi¬ciently to become convincing stagepersonalities, but by that time, theyhad an antagonistic audience to con¬tend with. So bad was John Dicker¬son’s oft repeated “fancy that!” and“eh?” in his role of Tesman that theaudience couldn’t refrain from snick¬ering at him even during the dramaticclimaxes of acts three and four.Individual performances by MaryDiamond and William Roberts (Lov¬borg) were excellent, while Philip Ox-man (Judge Brack), Karen O’Brien(Mrs. Elvsted), Milada Prochaska(Aunt Juliana), and Jean Cooke (Ber.ta) were no more than adequate. JohnDickerson was definitely miscast.A repeat performance was givenSaturday evening, and it is reportedthat the performance was greatly im¬proved. .. F.

Themost recent action to give impetus to this subjecthappened at Stanford University where the au¬thorities banned all sororities from campus. Thereason for this move given by President DonaldB. Tressidder when he described the Stanfordsororities as a source of disunity in the educa¬tional processes of the university. They werefurther characterized-as being undemocratic anduncooperative.I am not prepared to make similar chargesagainst the fraternities and women's clubs on ourown campus, but I do believe that the Stanfordaffair can provide a useful background in discuss¬ing conditions at this University.A non-fraternity student (as I am) gets animmediate response from any fraternity man orclubwoman when he attempts to criticize theseorganizations in his or her presence, and the re¬sponse is always the same. Either the critic isdismissed with the curt suggestion that he is afrustrated rushee, or the critic is exposed to alengthy dissertation on the accomplishments ofclubs and fraternities in bygone years or on cam¬puses other than our own. The basic question asto whether these groups are able to continuallyjustify their existences (singly or severally) bythe aims and scope of their programs is com¬pletely ignored.We will freely admit that there have been fra¬ternities and interfratemity councils which havegiven the University much that was constructiveand creative. Fraternities have provided the cam¬pus with vital leadership and support for a greatmany campus-wide activities. Charitable, aca¬demic and social functions have benefited great¬ly in the past because of the support of fraterni¬ties, to say nothing of assistance in the social,as well as educational orientation of incomingfreshmen to the University. But, unfortunately,all these wonderful fraternity achievements arein the past. I think a fraternity man would findit somewhat difficult, to say nothing of embar¬rassing, to point to any glowing record of ac¬complishment during this academic year. ThoughI cannot speak with authority since I was not inresidence at the time, I would venture to saythat a fraternity man would have the same dif¬ficulty while considering last year, or the yearprior.There is a growing feeling of resentment andantipathy towards the fraternities and clubswhich is becoming increasingly evident amongwrtain of the authorities of the University, aswell as many of the students. More and more,these organizations are being characterized asclass-ridden, social climbing snob groups. Theaims, motives and functions of the average fra¬ternity man is described in even more uncom¬plimentary terms. And unfortunately, more andmore fraternity men seem bent on living up tothe reputation provided by the deriders of fra¬ternities.Actually, there is no reason why this shouldbe the case. The fraternity is a well organized,well integrated association. There is a conspic¬uous lack of such groups on this campus.

By the dint of the Department'shard work and cooperation, the University hasenjoyed a renaissance in the field of music, whichhas definitely put us “back on the map" as a cul¬tural center—which we are supposed to be buthadn't been for some time until last December,when the Composers' series got under way.Further, the Department of Music is to bethanked for placing the University once more inthe path of the currents of new music and mak¬ing it aware of the changes in the musical world;at the same time bringing to it the establishedclassics.founded and chartered with all sorts of themost noble and constructive purposes in mind.The opportunities for such constructive action onthis campus are manifold. All that is lacking iscapable leadership and concerted action. What¬ever the future of fraternities and clubs at theUniversity of Chicago, it will be a matter large¬ly of their own doing. No, this is not an indict¬ment; it is merely a warning. —F. G. At last, the millenium is approach¬ing! Our favoriate non-running can¬didate for president, Mr. Dewey, hasfinally chosen to divulge his innermostand heretofore secret thoughts on na¬tional and international issues beforean audience of publishers recently.The two points of his speech which Ihave found most interesting and re¬warding are his historical commentson why we failed in our attempt toachieve a satisfactory lasting peace atthe conclusion of World War I, andhis description of what our peace ob¬jectives of this war should be.It is rather strange that a potentialRepublican nominee for the presidencyshould select this particular time toremind us that the major reason forthe failure of the last post-war settle¬ment was because “those who draftedthe treaty were tired war leaders.They could not find within themselvesthe physical and mental strength tomake the peace a living reality.” Therole that the vigorous and untired Re¬publicans of 1919-20 played in theestablishment of a permanent peace is.still within the memory of Man.The second point which we find in¬teresting is his description of whatwould constitute an adequate peaceprogram. One of Mr. Dewey’s mostunique characteristics is his ability tocautiously and accurately sample pub¬lic opinion, and be gfuided accordingly,rather than his ability to create opifi-on as a leader. Consequently, his de¬mand for an international organiza¬tion for peace should hurl the lie toMr. Bertie McCormick, who believesthat he, too, mirrors public opinion.Bill ErlandsonJazz CocktailsOne of those phenomenal rises inthe history of popular music makersstarted in the late ’30’s when GlenMiller left the trombone section of aband to organize an orchestra of hisown founded on his own unique ar¬ranging style. Almost overnight witha record of “Sunrise Serenade,” thebespectled trombonist became one ofAmerica’s first line dance band lead¬ers. He was voted the favorite bandof college music columnists which ispretty much of an honor consideringthat the college crowd establish thenational yardstick in popular musictastes. When Glenn left his band tobecome a Captain in the army hisband was way up on top.In view of this, and also with aneye to the cish they’ll roll in, Victorhas released an album of records thatdid much to boost Miller to the frontranks. Some of the records includedare “Little Brown Jug,” “In theMood,” “Stardust”; a representativegroup of some of .his best recordings.For those of you who are interestedin Miller’s Army Band it can be heardevery Saturday night at around nineo’clock.Judy Downs, editor of the finemagazine Jazz Quarterly, and a fewof the other collectors around campusare thinking of getting a “Hot JazzClub of Chicago” started if they canfind enough people who are interested.The aims of the club would includepromoting jam sessions here in Chi¬cago and maybe issuing records underthe club’s name.

LoisLane ha^ joined Hal Me Intyre asvoealist. IILettersTo the Editor:I am writing for your help in inter¬preting a spectacle which I witnessedtoday. When I entered hte MemorialChapel to hear the Requiem by Gab¬riel Faure; the crowd was busily chat¬ting and looking about as a theatrecrowd does before the curtain rises.People spoke out loud to one anotherand there seemed to be few who hadthe kind of attitude I am accustomedto see in church. They became quietas soon as the organ and choir wereheard.But again as soon as the Requiemwas completed and before the servicewas over, the gay conversations wentround. Then came the announcementsby the minister and the collection.Lastly the doxology was sung by theaudience and then dismissal with aprayer.Immediately after everyone wassociable again and the place wasturned into a scene similar to a gar¬den party with twos and threes mil-ling about and trooping out the doors.I found it difficult to understand.Certainly everyone knew the meaningof the Requiem and that its signifi¬cance is profoundly great during warwhen death is a deep shadow overevery person's life. Did the Univer¬sity intend to provide merely an hourof lovely sound, and did people intendto come joyfully to hear it and to gojoyfully away? Or was it .supposedto be a religious experience set toexquisite music dedicated to thosewho have passed on and intended torefine the spirit and to ease the poig¬nant sorrow of people who share,whether they admit it or not, thehorror of these times? I could onlyconclude that this crowd had forgot¬ten the war and the men and womenwho were dying for them, and yethow could they have heard the Requi¬em and not have been reminded? Isit likely that most people cannotmaintain a religious mood for morethan a few minutes and that theymust shift is even before it is possiblyappropriately to do so?Is this the custom in the MiddleWest? I am here on the Campus forthe first time and I should be verygrateful for an explanation.Sincerely yours,Flora M. ThurstonHall Plays ModernsWith Distinction(Miss) Marion Hall’s piano recitalast night in Kimball Hall showedthis young woman has mastered Scar¬latti and the moderns (Villa-Lobos,Rachmaninoff, Ravel, Poulenc, Alben-iz); but the backbone of the repertory(Brahms and Chopin) escapes her. Sheattacked her major work, Brahms’Sonata in C, Op. 1, with vigor suf¬ficient to dispel the old libel that awoman cannot muster power to playBrahms; but her concept of the work’sdynamics was too limited. The scherzowas contrasts of pp and ff: the motionof the movement was not facile andsmooth.The program opened with Vivaldi’sIntroduction and Fugue in D Minor,arr. by Stradal: the resonance wasbad and the playing of the fugue man¬nered. Then came five Sonatas of Scar¬latti played with rare insight and carein phrasing. The D Major, morefamous as the Paganini-Liszt Hunt,although not played at as fast a tempoas Petri's, had a taking Han.After intermission came four Ma¬zurkas by Chopin and the Chopin-Liszt Maiden*s Wish. The Chopin wasplayed cleanly but without feeling*The Liszt was also without introspec¬tion.—W. W. (l{\Feature PageDon ShieUkTraveling BazaarParty . . . Party . . . Party . . .Sigma gives a Party!

Thisis a charming custom, to be sure, but when you considerthe effect it might have if people did it outside of thecinema world, you can see how dangerous it really is.Last Friday, the Midway’s promenaders were startledto see a soldier ambling along, swinging his arms andsinging at the top of his lungs . . . “The Song of thePlains” in what might have been Russian but was moreprobably Esperanto. The people who ps^ssed him stared,and a good many of them laughed superiorly. We heardone hard-bitten professor saying to the gentleman besidehim, “It looks like a publicity stunt for that motto Hutch-ins has been promoting.”We mentioned this scene to a friend of ours, whoimmediately announced that this exhibitionist was some¬one he knew. But the story was not ended there. Ourfriend told us that this' same soldier once attended aconcert in Boston, and when Mr. Koussevitsky had leftthe stage the soldier arose in his balcony seat and startedto sing “The Song of the Plains.” The audience, whichhad not been very well entertained by the Boston Sym¬phony, giggled smugly, stayed to see what this madmanwould do next. As the story goes, the soldier kept themthere for an entire hour.What price sanity?Nancy SmithBox OfficeJANE EYRE ... is a study in shadows, a portrait inblack and grey. Flinging off some of its gloomy shrouds,Orson Welles may be observed (with a brand new nose)acting as though his very life depended on it. He has beencriticized entirely too much, however, for over-actingin the movie version of the Bronte novel. The part ofRochester calls for a man of action and many moods andI doubt whether any other English-speaking actor (withthe obvious exception of Laurence Olivier who wouldhave been better) could have done it at all. Joan Fon¬taine has too little to say to give an accurate character¬ization of Jane’s personality; has to rely on facial ex¬pressions which aren’t too successful, leaving her rathercolorless. Jane as a child is portrayed by Peggy Ann Gar¬ner with touching pathos. The earlier portion of the pic¬ture, Jane’s grim childhood, is easily the best part of thepicture. The carefully drawn character of the heroineceases abruptly when she grows up, unfortunately. Pho¬tography, settings and music give “Jane Eyre” a helpfulboost.Bill RobertaLife LinesUmbrUfo! John HannonSmedley and GeorgeSmedley Visits The Library“My,” said Smedley, “Isn’t this afunny place, George?”George the Goat nodded as he sur¬veyed the shadowy room. “And it’sa library, too,” added Smedley. Justthen a girl in a pink dress went byand smiled at the two, who smiledback.“These are all reference books,George. Let’s go in the other room.That’s where they’ll have the booksthe students take out.” As he andGeorge went through the door theymet a girl in a green dress. When shesmiled at them, Smedley said, “Youknow, I think that’s same girl wejust saw a minute ago; but she hada pink dress on then.” Even Georgewas puzzled by this; but they finallydecided she must be twins.Smedley felt it his duty to explainthe science of libraries to George whonaturally was not acquainted withsuch things. “ 'This is a file cabinet.You get the numbers here and thenyou ask for them at the desk.” No¬ticing a man with a long beard overat the charging desk, he decided togive George an object lesson.“Pardon me,” said Smedley, ‘*butwhat is the book you’re looking for?”“Eh?” asked the man holding someof his hair away from his ear.“What is the book you’re lookingfor?” asked Smedley in such a loudtone that the librarian scowled.“Oh . . . The book?” squeaked theman. “ It’s the Dairy Fiirmer’s Al¬manac for 1921.”“Have you asked for it yet?” askedSmedley anxious that George shouldsee the workings of a library.“Asked for it?” shouted the manas color began to return to his cheek.“I’ve asked for it since 1021. Theykeep telling me to come back tomor¬row as they haven’t any record of where it is today.”“You mean you’ve been here everyday since 1921?” asked Smedley.“That right,” said the man. “Ithasn’t been an entire waste of timethough. I’ve got my Doctorate inevery division.”“Now that there aren’t any left,what are you going to do?” askedSmedley.I’m hoping that Hutchins getshis new degree approved,” answeredthe man. “After all it looks asthough I’m going to be here for quitea while.”“What do you want that book for?”asked Smedley, who, couldn’t imaginewhat information in the Dairy Far¬mers’ Almanac for 1921 would be soimportant as to keep a man waitingthat long.“Well, I was going fishing in Julyand I wanted to see what the weatherwould be,” answered the man.“But that’s all passed now,” saidSmedley. “It doesn’t make any differ¬ence.”“I have to find out, shouted theman. “My curiosity’s been aroused.”Smedley and George thoughtit was the time to leave. As theyturned to go, a girl in a blue dresssmiled at them. She looked the sameas the other two girls.“Pardon me,” said Smedley, “Areyou triplets?”“No,” answered the girl. “I just runover to the dorm and change often.After all, a girl has to look nice forthe soldiers.”“My,” said Smedley to George asthey left, “aren’t you glad we readcomic books and don’t have to go tolibraries?” “(Next Week: Smedley Visits aBookstore)MURDER!The first great man on record whowas a devotee of detective stories isreputed to be Abraham Lincoln. It issaid that the backwoods politicianfrom Springfield read and rereadthose first of all legetimate detectivestories “The Murders in The RueMorgue,” “The Purloined Letter” and“The Mystery of Marie Roget”, waspublished by Edgar Allen Poe in 1841.Lincoln was only the first of a longtrain. It is said that detective storiesare the recreation of great minds. Itis true that the last of our two greatwar presidents, Franklin Roosevdtand Woodrow Wilson were both ardentdevotees of the whodunit.Detective stories found their birthin the mind of an underpaid, drink-shot genitis. Since then, they have bur¬rowed underground in the form ofpulp magazine an(i ten cent shockers,they have blossomed forth from thepens of such men as Charles Dickensand Robert Louis Stevenson, they have become grist for the mills ofHollywood, have mushroomed forth inlurid comic books and spread them¬selves across the pages of high pricedslicks. They have become subjects forgenuine literary research, have cre¬ated at least one of the greatest liter¬ary characters of all time.When such men as Dashiell Ham-met first began to send in their hardboiled, terse-worded tales to Amer¬ican pulps a new form was bom.Moreover a truly American school wasformed. “The Maltese Falcon” and“The Glass Key” are not only land¬marks in detective stories; they havealready reached the status of minorAmerican classics. Ellery Queen hf»called Hammet’s work “romantic real¬ism”: somehow it seems to deservemore. His work, and work of men ofhis caliber both in the United Statesand England, are lifting the materialof pulp shockers into real literature.—D. S.Motto Contest Rules1.
