CravenGives LecturePROFESSOR AVERY O. CRAVEN“Past Attitudes and Present Prob¬lems” was the topic of a lecture givenTuesday by Professor Avery O. Cra¬ven. According to Mr. Craven, theUnited States has previously had ademocracy founded on our separationfrom Europe and the presence of avast frontier. These conditions devel¬oped a free and unplanned democracywhich at times might have been view¬ed with alarm and misunderstandingby Europe in somewhat the samemanner in which Russia is now con¬sidered. Today the frontier is endedand isolationism is behind us. Theurban way of life has been established.Democracy will have to be planned.We must face our problems and theirsolutions in the light of present condi¬tions, not of past attitudes.Mr. Craven also noted the fact thatthere have always been wide gaps be¬tween our ideals for democracy andour actual practices. When we viewour present situation with alarm, wemust realize that “we have not sud¬denly gone to the dogs, but have beenthere all along.” 0. W. Phelps AppointedAsst.

Other students receivingthe $300 awards weer: Howard Burk,Martin Corcoran, William Hughes,William Marschall, and James Rust.Battle Of The MidwayIn an order of the day to all staffmembers of The Chicago Maroon,George Hilton, newly-appointed Cor¬puscle in charge of Circulation (withtwo stripes), announced:Out of the goodness of the hearts ofMessrs. Gottesman, Strauss, andShields, I have recently been appoint¬ed Staff Corpuscle (known to theproletariat as Circulation Manager).As much as I would enjoy making thisposition a sinecure, the time has comewhen we is gotta sell Maroons. Thosedear people, our advertisers, are nowkicking in to the Maroon's coffers tothe tune of only about 15 smacks aweek. The printer, a hard man, stillenjoys having us fork over 50 frog¬skins for the week’s edition. By rapidfire calculation, this means that wehave to foist no less than 700 of ourlittle gems of wisdom on the public to break even. Anything over 700 may befiled under Gravy for the Maroon. Toaccomplish our laudable objective,(here it comes, brace yourselves), theaid of the staff members in sellingpapers will be appreciated no end. Weshall be especially grateful for thehelp of Flo, Connie, Bamby, Nancy,and the rest of our more beautiful lit¬tle chums, the theory being that evena University of Chicago student willfork over a nickle for a rag like thisif*he has the privilege of buying itfrom some one fascinating. Even ifyou are not fascinating, don’t let thatdeter you. People will buy papers evenfrom Shields. And even Harmon mightsell a few by cultivating his person¬ality.(Signed) George HiltonFor Communique Number 2, watchthis space next week. DEAN CHARLES W. GILKEYThe day of judgment is here, notonly for the Germans and Japanesebut also for us, declared Dean CharlesW. Gilkey in his sermon Sunday, June25. The Dean stated that offeringminority groups equal opportunitiesduring this war has hastened victoryand signifies that now is the time toundo old wrongs and oppressions thathave caused world-wide misery.Round TableDiscusses GOPAccording to last Sunday’s RoundTable speakers, the two major issuesfacing the Republican party conven¬tion in drawing up the party’s plat¬form are the means of obtaining apermanent peace and full post-waremployment in the United States.Senator Joseph H. Balll of Minne¬sota and Governor B. B. Hickenlooper,Jr., of Iowa, together with Eliot Jane¬way, special writer for Life and For¬tune magazines, and Neil H. Jacoby,Secretary and Professor of Financein the School of Business, participatedin the discussion of the Round Ta¬ble’s special topic, “Issues Facing theRepublican Party.”Janeway declared that “the issue isnow arising whether the Republicanparty is going to be a positive in¬fluence and promote a positive pro¬gram or whether it is going to becomea permanent opposition party.”Both Senator Ball and GovernorHickenlooper felt that the Republicanparty should abandon its high tariffpolicy. This would demand world co¬operation, for, as Hickenlooper phras¬ed it, “we cannot give up our jack¬knife until we ge something in re¬turn.”Americans will demand full employ¬ment after the war, the speakers allagreed, and it would be more advisablefor private industry rather than thegvernment to take the initiative. The appointment of Orme W.Phelps to be Assistant Dean of Stu¬dents has been announced by Presi¬dent Robert M. Hutchins. Mr. Phelps,who assumed his new position lastweek, has previously been AssistantProfessor of Industrial Relations inthe School of Business. He will be indirect supervision of all student ac¬tivities, including publications, fra¬ternities, Student Forum, and others.In addition he will handle the problemof guidance and counselling for Col¬lege students living in University dor¬mitories.Mr. Phelps stressed the fact thatover 200 students iii the first twoyears of the college will be houned inUniversity dormitories next fall. TheUniversity, he said, realizes that itmust assume more responsibility forthe housing and activities of these fif¬teen and sixteen year-olds, but will at¬tempt, as far as possible, to permitand encourage these younger studentsto govern themselves.Mr. Phelps has been a member ofthe Faculty since 1939, when he wasappointed lecturer in the School ofBusiness. He became assistant profes¬sor in 1941. He has also been an ad¬viser in the College and was residentof Hitchcock Hall during 1942-43, be¬fore that dormitory was taken over bythe Army.Before coming to the University,Mr. Phelps^was for several years alecturer at the Central YMCA College,and he has also had twelve years ofbusiness experience in the fields ofbanking, transportation, brokerage,and others.Summer Rushing PlanAnnounced At l-FBy J.

Rushees will sign up with thefraternity of their choice on Friday,July 25. Under this new plan of atwo-week period of rushing, the firstweek will consist entirely of closedfunctions while the second week willhave three open nights, Tuesday, Wed¬nesday, and Thursday, on which allfraternities may have functions.The rushing code will be the samethat has been used all year.

The tomb in Springfield isnow quiet. (It is rumored that the bones of Lin¬coln were whirling faster than the revolving doorin the Stevens Bar.) A Republican named Hooverwho chased the Bonus Army from Washingtonat the point of bayonets has promised the return¬ing soldiers will be cared for. An ex-playwright,Mrs. Luce, attempted to build the platform onthe bodies of dead soldiers and all the rest de¬nounced ‘"bureausrats. Communists, and SidneyHillman and that Old Man in the White House.”Sir Galahad, who kept his visor shut whenthe soldiers were deprived of their vote by thePoll-Tax-Democrats and Republicans, has comeforth as the spokesman for silenced youth. Mr.Dewey should know the feelings of the silencedones. He said nothing during the long fight hismanagers waged to get him ^‘drafted.” However,as the self-appointed spokesman for those hisfollowers have silenced he still persists in silence.Middle of the Roadism, Empty Phraseology,Quotations from the Declaration of Independ¬ence, the Constitution and the Gettysburg Ad¬dress unfortunately do not make for more thanmere rhetoric. Yet, the Republican candidate(taking a lesson from Bertie) is following thisline. It remains, and probably will still remainin November, for Mr. Dewey to define the issuesand offer something besides negativism and ap¬peal to change. Perhaps a course in semanticswould help him.Of Bricker, we cannot make the same accu¬sation of silence or of confusing the issue. Ad¬mittedly the stronger of the two, he has made aforthright declaraion of where he stands. It isthis stand of isolationism which has caused theticket to sway from the near left to the far rightand then finally settle in the ungrassed middle ofthe road.How did young Tom manage to get in? EdJaekel has been handling silent candidates foryears in local politics and probably will keepthe comic book hero quiet until November 8th.Sir Galahad? From here he looks more likeDon Quixote bouncing up and down on the'pogostick of the Gallup Poll.BUI RobertsLife Lines This Week On CampusFriday, June 30 -Worship Service, Joseph Bond Chapel, David Witheridge,Assistant Minister, the Hyde Park Baptist Church.12 m.-12:20 p.m.Anthropology Club. “Some Current Trends In British An¬thropology.” Speaker; Ethel J.

Three peopletumbled out on top of them. Whenthey got up and resumed their placesbehind the other twenty ahead ofthem in line, Smedley and George de¬cided they’d better look elsewhere.Finally they wound their way to¬ward the Art Colony. “Goodness,”said Smedley. “Maybe we’ll be Bohe¬mians.” George the Goat wasn’t quitesure of what a Bohemian was but asv/e have said before he had no nation¬alistic prejudices.They rang the bell and an old ladywith red and yellow hair came to thedoor. She did not seem to noticeSmedley but addressed all her ques¬tions to George the Goat.“What do you want?” she cackled.“I want a room,” came the answer.“Well, that^s just fine,” she said asshe gazed fondly at George. “Youhave longer hair than most of my ten¬ants, but that’s all right I guess. Butfirst, are you a Catholic, Negro, Jewor an Internationalist?”“He’s somewhat of an Internation¬alist,” answered Smedley honestly.“Where did you come from?” ask¬ed the woman, noticing Smedley forthe first time. “I was talking to him,child.”“But he’s a goat,” protested Smed¬ ley. “He can’t talk.’“Thats all right,” said the woman.“He won’t make as much noise as therest of the Bohemians.”“But he’s a real goat and lives withme,” explained Smedley.“What, A child? Never rent to chil¬dren!” shouted the woman as sheslammed the door.Smedley looked at George, Georgelooked at Smedley. Neither said any.thing as they turned and walked offthe porch. It was all too strange, thislife in Bohemia. In fact, George sus^pected he must be getting nationalisticprejudices.“Goodness,” said Smedley. “We’rein luck. There’s another sign.” Theyhurried over, rang the bell, but no oneanswered. As they were trying for thetenth and last time, they noticed alittle fat boy passing by.“Pardon me, sir,” said Smedley,“but do you know if this is still forrent?”“Ceertainely,” said the fat boy ina thick accent. “Do you want to renteet?”“Yeah. It looks cool,” answeredSmedley.“Well, I am a veerree good fran ofthe woman who owns eet,” said thefat boy. “I’ll see they rent eet to you.When they do, you can join our Bohe¬mian club.”“Oh good,” said Smedley. “AndGeorge, too?” •“Ah yes. The goal weel make a finemember.”“And what do you do in it?” askedSmedley.“We make violent love to younggirls to the accompaniment of exoticoriental music,” explained the fat boy.“My brother used to do the samething but he picked older girls anddidn’t need the musip,” said Smedleyas he and George turned to get awayfrom the fat boy.When they got home and looked atthe thermometer which registeredninety-six, Smedley turned to George.“Goodness,” he said, “isn’t this a niceapartment, George?”I have at hand the Maroon's reviewof the June issue of Carillon as it ap¬peared on page four of your issuedated June 23, and I should like to beallowed to correct the impression giv¬en by your writer in his review of mystory “The Blackmailers.”It is not my purpose—indeed, itwould be an impertinence—to questionyour author’s competence. I do noteven know if he has any. However, inspeaking of “The Blackmailers”, hesays: “I am afraid there is somethingpersonal behind (it) . . . it may havebeen prompted by fact ...” I assumethat the “something personal” and the“fact” of which he speaks refer toan alleged plagiarism which the Ma¬roon exposed last winter in whatseemed to me a particularly unhappyviolation of newspaper ethics (al¬though in keeping with your paper’ssomev/hat basic habits). May I giveyou the true history of “The Black¬mailers”?The story was written in November,1942. It appeared in my high schoolmagazine, The Horace Mann Quarter¬ly in February, 1943. It has no basiswhatsoever in fact, and if, as yourreviewer seems to think, the charac¬ters bleed printer’s ink, let me saythat this rather singular phenomenon(one which I would certainly like tosee before I go down below) is due en¬tirely to my faulty writing, and not to any factual background upon which“The Blackmailers” may have beenbased. I do not enjoy taking issue withyour reviewer ... J.S.H., whoever thatmay be. He, she, or it appears to bea peculiarly wise individual. The factthat the article is cloaked in initialedanonymity proves this beyond a sha¬dow of a doubt. But I should be highlygrateful if you would bring this, thetrue account of “The Blackmailers”,to the attention of your readers andthereby correct my unfortunately er¬roneous impressions which may havearisen from your review of the story.Yours very truly,Charles Einstein(Reviewer’s Note: I am sorry thatI connected Mr. Einstein’s fiction withthe occurrence of last winter, which,incidentally, was not “alleged” butactual. However, it was difficult toimagine that anyone would freelycreate such trivia. However, since thepublication, in the Horace Mann Quar¬terly antedated this incident, there isno alternative but to do as Mr. Ein¬stein suggests and denounce it asfaulty writing. As for the anonymity,that ominous cloak. The Chicago Ma¬roon policy is to initial articles andif" Mr. Einstein had looked on themasthead he would have gathered thatJ.S.H. wasHis sincerely,John S.

The Maroon has contributed its share withthings like “Divinity Fedederation”, “Orson Welles’Speach,” (speech, to you) but the prize story of suchmistakes comes from Mr. Binyon, the humanities in¬structor . . . When Mr. B. was an undergraduate he, -too,succumbed to the lure of his college press and wrotefeatures and reviews for it . . . One assignment entailedinterviewing a famous actress who happened to be intown and Mr. Binyon ended the written interview withthe phrase “She is really one grand person” . . .

During a war, peoplehave always turned to religion as arelease from tension, as a manifesta¬tion of their faith in victory. This yearthere has been an influx of picturesof this type—“Going My Way” is sofar the best offered. It is one of thefew really beautiful movies everscreened. Every scene is in its place,and has a place in the picture—thewhole fitting together in a manner which approachesperfection. Yu leave the movie with not so much a re¬newed faith in the Deity as in the motion picture indus¬try.Bing Crosby reaches his peak as young Father O’Mal¬ley; it is the best performance he has ever given. He isstill Crosby, but a more dignified, refined Crosby, losingnone of the subtle humor of his personality. The movieis carried, however, by Barry Fitzgerald, who playsFather Fitzgibbon. His interpretation of the old priestis one of the rare solid gold character sketches in cinemahistory. He is kindly, above all else, but mulish to thecore; as guileless and naive as a small boy, yet havingthe absent-mindedness and patriarchal qualities of oldage. Father Ftzgibbon can be described by no other wordsthan sweet and rather sad.Father O’Malley is assigned to St. Dominic’s by theBishop to pull the church out of a financial mess. Buck-ng his progressive methods at every turn is Father Fitz¬gibbon, who built the church and had been with it forty-five years (“forty-six in October”, he says frequentlyand not without some pride). Fitzgerald is not awarethat Crosby was placed in charge of the church over hishead and the delicate situation which arises over theconcealment of this knowledge from Father Fitz is mademore difficult by the essential conservatism of the oldpriest. The solution of the problem is resolved in one ofthe best bits of dialogue this reviewer has seen in yearsof pix-trotting. The church is saved through the effortsof Crosby and Rise Stevens (playing herself—a Metstar) who sell one of his songs and raise money by tour¬ing his recently-inaugurated boys’ choir, regimented fromstreet gangs. The plot is kept simple—but the movie isbeautifully handled.Bill RobertsLife Lines**Bring the extension ladder, Jennings—Eustace didnHlike his spinach.** Last Tuesday evening while Repub¬licans sweltered under Kleig lights atthe Madison street Stadium, NorthShore music lovers thrilled to greatmusic under the stars at RaviniaPark. It was the opening program ofthe summer festival at the park, andthe Chicago Symphony under PierreMonteux, regular conductor of the SanFrancisco Orchestra, provided the firstnight crowd with a . bang-up welcom¬ing party.Monteux, possessor of St. Bernardeyes and walrus moustache, seemed toact the role of ‘papa’ to his orchestra,and when his ‘children’ pleased himwith their performance he would smileapprovingly. This contagious smilespread rapidly to the 3,200 guests, andeven the weather man must havecaught the mood since he provided asmiling evening complete with star-filled sky and yellow moon.The prelude to Wagner’s only com¬edy, The Mastersingers of Nuremberg,was a perfect choice to begin the pro¬gram and to set the festive mood ofthe evening. And then, Monteux,greatest of living French conductors,made ready his canvas, mixed hispastel tints, and with the help of theorchestra began the two Debussy noc¬turnes, Clouds and Festivals, trans¬forming them into two Impressionisticpaintings complete with frame. Dur¬ing the playing of the two nocturnes,the audience could actually see Mon-teux’s imagination at work, for hewould stare off into space remember¬ing the devices to use to capture theexact effect. Every few minutes afluttering of his fingers or a hastywhisper would warn the orchestra toremain pianissimo.A suite from the Serge Prokofieffballet, Romeo and Juliet, completedthe first half of the concert. At thispoint in the program the uninvitedguests, those pesky insects, made theirappearance—they fairly danced to thetricky rhythms of the Prokofiefi’ suite—Japanese beetles dancing to Russianmusic!The seven short movements of thesuite proved to be effective music, attimes satirical, and at times impas¬sioned. It was music that provided theaudience with chuckles and surprises.Introducing this music to the Raviniaaudience wth a minimum of rehearsalswas a gallant attempt on Monteux’spart. One could sense that the orches¬tra was not completely familiar withthe score, but Monteux, master of ev¬ery situation, led them through ad¬mirably, pointing up the humor of thescore with humorous gestures of hisown.Beethoven’s third sjunphony held theSesquipedaliaBy the end of this week you willhave realized that the most beautifulword can be used only so often.

It was the Eroica symphonyconducted by an Eroica conductor,who braved the heat and the insects.One realized that the movements of 'the conductor’s baton were not onlymeant to guide the performers butalso to ward off the moths and mos¬quitoes. In the symphony, Monteuxwas not the master of delicate shadingand tone color, as he has proved him¬self in his interpretations of the sym¬phonies of Chausson, D’Indy, andFranck. It was virile Beethoven, how¬ever, but not as skilfully recreated ordetailed as this reviewer would like.Some of the guests at this gala wel¬coming party actually left before ‘re¬freshments’ were served, namely, the ^third and foui“th movements of theEroica symphony.

Therest is more or less bilge. I have beenkeeping track of the new releases ^orthe last two years, out of curiosity,and I find that Victor has been tend¬ing toward smaller and smaller al¬bums, mostly of the two record vari¬ety. Now they have come to the pointof two record albums of the ten inchsort. Pretty soon R.C.A. is going torun out of “masters” of John CharlesThomas’ song recitals. I wonder whatthey will do then? The reader may besure that they won’t pursue the sen¬sible course, whatever else they maydo, and release, say, domestically theSchnabel recordings made on H.M.V.for the Beethoven Society.The recording of Reusner’s Suite,arranged for string orchestra by Jo¬hann Georg Stanley, a contemporaryof the composer, is a valuable contri¬bution to discs from the historicalpoint of view: it puts another pre-Bach work on records—albeit a nottoo distinguished one. Reusner, wholived from April 29, 1636, to May 1,1679, was a lutenist in various minorcourt orchestras in the Germany ofhis day, mostly at Beignitz and Bran¬denburg. The Suite consists of sevenmovements: Paduan, Allemande, Co-urante I., Sarabante, Gigue, Gavotte,and Courante II. It was from worksof this sort, collections of dance tunes,that the modern symphony evolved.As to the music: pleasant, simple, buttiresome if listened to too often.The odd side offers a Canon of Jo¬hann Pachelbel (1653-1706), an im¬portant pre-Bach composer, also play¬ed by the Fiedler Sinfonietta. This,again, is a slight work with not muchlasting appeal. Still, this is the bestVictor has to offer this month.The Kipnis performance of Rach¬maninoff’s Harvest of Sorrow, Op. 4,No. 5, and Gretchaninoff’s Over TheSteppes, Op. 6, No. 1, is flawlesslysung and well recorded. There is, how¬ever, a deadness about both songs, amonochromaticism, which leaves thelistener flat. With so many good songsof Rachmaninoff unrecorded, it’s amystery why this one was picked.—W.W.P«9® Four ■ ' '■■'■■IN MMDocumentary “Negro Soldier”Disappoints; Termed WasteThe three pictures shown last Tues¬day by the Documentary Film Groupcame as a surprise to all of us whothought that there was a film short¬age, If the Army can waste such quan¬tities, certainly they must have rollsand rolls which are nothing but firehazards. The first two, “What Makesa Battle” and one about the AnzioBeachhead were, in technique andtreatment, very much like any news¬reel. They shared the fault of show¬ing only Americans and never givingan inkling that we are not fighting thewar alone.The most surprising thing about thethird picture, “The Negro Soldier”,is that it has received favorable com¬ments in reasonably liberal circles. Al¬though reviews had led me to believethat it attempted to show the part theNegro has played in the war effort, itsmuddled purpose actually seemed toprove that this was the land of plentyand equal opportunity and that theonly thing a Negro has to fear is Ger¬man victory. It is more than probablethat the treatment given the Negroesby the Germans would be shamefuland that their destruction might bemuch more systematic, but I do notbelieve that this would give muchworry to man who has lived all his lifewith the knowledge that if white mendecided to whip, torture or even lynchhim, the law would be “ever sooo sor¬ry” and go out for a drink with thelynchers.The stupidity of the whole film wasespecially evident when its makers de¬cided to use “dramatic” effects. Oneshot, designed to display the brutalityof the Germans, showed a picture ofsome peasants hanged on a large tree.The blurred figures, photographedagainst the sunset, looked like nothngCarillon to PublishSummer Edition;Contributions AskedThe editors of Carillon, campus lit-eary magazine, have announced thatan issue of Carillon will be publishedthis summer, in spite of many difficul¬ties.

I do not know the war¬time policy of West Point, but I doknow that in peacetime it is a WestPoint tradition not to speak to a Ne¬gro for his first year at the Point. Ifhe can take it he is fit to be an officer.The only case of a draftee traced inthis movie, of course ended up inO.C.S. Between the two, the generalimpression left by the movie is thatevery Negro in the Army, sooner orlater gets to be an officer.If people prejudiced against the Ne¬gro accidentally happened to see themovie (perhaps they might be lured toit if the title were changed to “DarkVictory”) they would come out withreconfirmed belief that the Negro inthis country has every opportunityand if he does not achieve anything,it is renewed proof that he is sub¬human and therefore incapable.It is criminal at a time like thiswhen constructive propaganda is soimperative to throw to the public aweak sporofic like this picture.—C.Z.Joshi SpeaksOn New RussiaSunder Joshi, Lecturer in Compara¬tive Religion, opened his lecture, “Asiaand the New Russia” last Wednesday,with the appropriate remark “I amnot a Communist.” With this* eluci¬dating remark on his own political be¬liefs, he proceeded with a clear ana¬lytical treatment of Russia and herrelations to the East.His next statement pricked the earsof his audience, “Russia has in thelast few years developed a policycalled Stalinism which is anothername for Nationalism and is a policywhereby Russia would extend to thosein its political economy full represen¬tation and expression of rights re¬gardless of race or color. “This policyhas worked in practice,” says Mr.Joshi, citing as proof the case of theforeign races which have been incor¬porated into the Soviet Union. Be¬cause the policy has worked and be¬cause the Asiatic peoples are tired ofEuropean imperialism, which hassought to exploit them, the Asiaticpeoples are turning to Russia.Another controversial statementmade by Mr. Joshi is that Russia isbecoming anti-Communistic. As proof,he pointed to 1) the institution of asemi-capitalistic economy; 2). the re¬instating of the church to power; and3). the granting of political liberty tothe old aristocracy.Joshi gave as the cause behind thispolicy: the realization by Stalin of theneed for union through nationalismbecause of the fear of German ag¬gression.Political InstitutionsAnne L.

JamesLe Societie du le Jazz Hot du Chi¬cago, recently founded by several stu¬dents of the University of Chicagowhose names are not available atpresent, held its second meeting lastTuesday night at the apartment ofone of its members. The Society tooksteps at the meeting to carry out itsplan for recording the work of for¬merly neglected jazz musicians, andfor beginning a research library ofimportant jazz records.The first business of the meetingwas a comparison between the musicof Bix Biederbecke and the obviouslyinferior trash of Harry James. Afterplaying each of the records in turn,the members agreed unanimously thatthe unfortunate Mr. James had been“torn to shreds” in the experimentand was definitely a “square”, where¬upon they placed his record in themiddle of the floor, and to the musicof the original Dixieland jazz band,stamped it to pieces. This gave themgreat satisfaction and the rest of theevening was devoted to research.After this the members took a tripto a small dive fortunately unknownto the public. Finding a strangelyemaciated man blowing feebly into abattered cornet, they immediatelyswamped him with requests. The man,taking time out first to refresh him¬self under his oxygen tent, began toplay a simple folk song entitled“Sweet Substitute Baby.” Naturally,the group agreed that the man was averitable genius, a second Bix. Theypromised they would return the nextday and give him the honor of theirpresence again, and perhaps he mightbe able to record for them and raisehimself from the ranks of the “for¬merly neglected musicians” into thatof the “neglected musicians”.Then, removing from the man’ssight all food, that devil’s ambrosiathat would take away his genius andturn him into just another “commer¬cialized square”, the society drove onin their Cadillac convertible. Return¬ing to the home of the member wherethe meeting began, the members pass¬ed a motion decreeing that LenaHorne had become definitely horriblesince she had grown popular and fa¬mous. A committee was appointed tomigrate to Hollywood and insert anounce of Paris Green in Miss Horne’sthroat spray, in order to rid the worldof one more “square.”Alpha Phi Omega CallsMeeting to ReorganizeThe local chapter of Alpha PhiOmega, national service fraternity forcollege men affiliated or formerly affil¬iated with the Boy Scouts of America,has announced two meetings for thepurpose of reorganizing the chapter.They will take place on Tuesday, July6, and Wednesday, July 12.
