THE CHICAGO MAROONVol. 4, No. 3 Z-149 Friday, July 7, 1944 Price Five CentsJ. G. Kerwin ProposesParliamentary SystemFor U. S. GovernmentIn a lecture yesterday afternoon,Jerome G. Kerwin, Professor of Pol¬itical Science, criticized the presentUnited States political system of“checks and no balances,” as he re¬ferred to it, and called for the est¬ablishment of a parliamentary system,similar to England’s, as more suitableto the complexities of modern civiliza¬tion. For setting up the new system,he proposed a series of amendmentsto the Constitution, including elec¬tion of the president and vice-presi¬dent for a term of seven years at ajoint session of both houses of Con¬gress, repeal of the president’s powerof veto over legislation, appointmentof all officers of government by thepresident without Senate approval,and the power of the president to endsessions of the House of Representa¬tives and call a new election. Mem¬bers of the House of Representativeswould be elected for a term of sixyears, subject to a call by the presi¬dent for a new election, and all leg¬islation would originate in the House.The provision for ratification oftreaties by a two-thirds vote of theSenate would be repealed, and al¬though all legislation would requireapproval by the Senate, a law couldbecome effective if it were repassedby the House over Senate veto, or ifthe Senate failed to take action on itfor three months after house passage.Mr. Kerwin characterized the pre¬sent system as one causing uncer¬tainty, delay, wrangling, conflict, con¬fusion, and lack of responsibility.Under it, unity can only be obtained atthe high price of the spoils system.Emphasizing the conflict betweenpresident and Congress, Mr. Kerwincontinued: “A strong president is al¬ways a ‘dictator’ in the eyes of con¬gressmen. Tl^e president feels thathe has a definite mandate to carryout a coherent program.

Hutchinshas announced.The award, which was made atthe graduation exercises in Rockefell¬er Memorial' Chapel last nightis granted to the top man of the grad¬uating class in the Naval TrainingSchool (radio), the largest NavyTraining unit in any university orcollege in the Ninth Naval District.Charles W. Gilkey, Dean of the Chap¬el, delivered the graduation address.Gerry, who is 24 years old, attendedGregon State College before enteringthe Navy. He completed a 19-weekcourse upon graduating last night. Heis the 2l8t radioman to receive a schol¬arship ta the University of Chicago. JEROME G. KERWINProfessor of Political Sciencethe national needs as a whole irre¬spective of narrow local interests.His responsibility is great inasmuchas he is held to account by the publicfor all mistakes of policy, but his pow¬er is not commensurate with his re¬sponsibility. He often sees the urgen¬cy of a reform or the adoption of apolicy and yet he has no weapons athand to bring a congress around tohis view’.” Mr. Kerwin pointed to thenarrow margin by which Congresspassed Lease-Lend and other similarpre-W’ar measures as examples.“Latent in the system,” declaredMr. Kerwin, “there is ever present thedanger that in a period of crisis allthe checks will work but the balanceswill be missing; at such a time animpatient and sorely tried people wilfind extra-constitutional and extra-legal means for solving their pressingproblems. Time and again Presidentshave found it necessary to step out¬side of constitutional and legal boundsin order to deal expeditiously with em¬ergency problems, realizing as theyhave that if they ask Congress forbread they will receive a stone.”Aithough Mr. Kerwin stated a num¬ber of reforms might be made withinpresent Constitutional limits, he de¬clared that the elimination of the maj¬or difficulties inherent in the systemof checks and balances would awaitthe institution of the parliamentarysystem. University Holds ConferenceFor Social Science Teachers;4)Chicago Men Address AssemblyThe conference of social scienceteachers in secondary schools and jun¬ior colleges held on campus Wednesdayand Thursday was featured by a pro¬gram of addresses on important prob¬lems of the post-war world, deliveredby prominent educational leaders. Thetopics included such varied themes asthe Army Specialized Training Pro¬gram in its relation to post-war highereducation, the effectiveness of the lasttwo years of high school in teachingstudents how to think, post-war plan¬ning by state agencies, and the eco¬nomic prerequistes for a lasting peace.American colleges had a unique op¬portunity to revitalize education underthe Army Specialized Training Pro¬gram, but “fumbled the ball” becauseof their traditionalism, Clarence H.Faust, Dean of the College and Di¬rector of the University of Chicagopremeteorology program, declared onone address. The virtues of the ASTPCrafts Workshop ToStress Therapy InNew Summer SessionA workshop in techniques in artsand crafts and a second in art educa¬tion will begin simultaneously on theUniversity of Chicago campus July 10,William G.

The following direc¬tive was delivered to a staff whichawaited it with bated breath and nosmall amount of nausea:“Because of the ghastly necessityfor palming off as many Maroons aspossible on the public, a ruse must beadopted in the sales technique of thestaff members.

LOUIS WIRTHProfessor of Sociologywere three-fold: relatively clear aims,relatively high concentration uponthese aims, and democratc opportunityfor all.It provided an experiment of majorimportance in democratic education, hesaid. It employed a machinery for pro¬viding equal educational opportunitiesto all, regardless of economic or socialstatus. “One of the most interestingdiscoveries we made at the Universityof Chicago about the men sent to usfor training was that at least 40 percent of them had not planned to go tocollege as civilians, either because oflack of money or interest,” Dean Faustadded. They unquestionably had theability to profit from college training.This lesson of the tragic waste ofpeace-time education is one of the mostimportant, if not the most important,lesson of the AST Program. It is alesson no soundly democratic programfor post-war education can afford tooverlook.”With the end of the war, the jobs ofreconversion, as difficult as wartimeproblems, will face the nation, DeanFaust said. It is possible, he added,that the government may find it feas¬ible to call on colleges again to trainspecialists for these postwar tasks.

Dorothy Iker, Lorraine McFadden, Don Shields, Nancy Smith, Car*la ZingarelliBusiness Assistants: Florence Baumruk. Marilyn Fletcher, Floyd LandisEducationFor many long years, we have been told againand again that our country possesses the finesteducational system in the world. Our press a-gents, drum-beaters, and politicians have assuredus that the moving philosophy of our system isto make every American an educated Americanand a better citizen in a manner befitting ourgreat Democracy. Fine.The first great test put to our educationalmachinery was during the first World War, andanalysis of the Army intelligence tests demon¬strated great fiaws in that machinery. For thepast twenty-five years, educators have been striv¬ing mightily to correct these fiaws, and finally,*our drum-beaters again told us that our system•of education was not only the best in the world,but better than ever. Again, another war andanother Selective Service Act put our educationalset-up to the test. In our land of universal ^ndsuperb educaion, enough men to make up fitteendivisions have been rejected by the Army be¬cause of illiteracy. And this is not because wehave a Democrat, instead of a Republican, in theWhite House.And how have our more adult Americans de¬monstrated their intellectual excellence attribut¬able to that system of education which proposesto make better citizens ? We believe the war canstill provide us with a standard to measure theextent and worth of education. So much is atstake in the issues and counter-issues of this con¬flict. The threats to our social well-being and ourform of government are exceedingly grave, andthe results of a defeat or an inconclusive victorywould be sheer catastrophe. ^Nevertheless, we find the huge majority of thepeople uninformed, indifferent and vague aboutthe basic issues of this war. So lacking in dis¬cernment are we, that some of us entertain activeantipathies towards our Russian and Englishallies in a global war that would be impossible to•prosecute successfully without allies. In spiteof all the taik about Nazi propaganda in Ger-'many, we are the most propagandized people inthe world, and show ourselves to be everlastingsuckers for a sales blurb whether it be via thenewspapers, radio, movies or comic strips.Yet, the causes are known. Forty per cent ofour teachers are paid less than $1200 per year,and eight out of every hundred receive less than$600 per year. The average wage in a manu¬facturing industry today is $2043, and a file clerkin the government service can earn an averageof $1620. Naturally enough, the primary andsecondary school teacher suffers in any compari¬son of compensation.The other faults in our public school system—poor educational equipment, insufficient facilitiesfor teacher-training, overcrowded schools in ur¬ban areas, sub-standard schools in some ruralareas, and qualitative discrimination in ethnicareas—make up only part of the story. As DeanFaust pointed out in his address before the Con¬ference for Teachers in the Social Sciences, coll¬eges, too, have missed the boat time after time.And the first steps for educational reform mustbe made by the colleges and universities of thecountry. It is obvious just how serious is theplight of education. Fortunately, we do not lackthe means to alleviate the condition. But, wecannot wait until after •the war. The time isnow, and the task is to educate for education. This Week On CampusFriday, July 7—Worship Service, Joseph Bond Chapel. John E.

Smedley had combed his hair,put on his best shirt and suit whileGeorge was well combed, brushed andtied. But as* Smedley said, “It isn’tevery day you see the President. Infact, most people don’t see him untilthey graduate. I have heard they in¬stituted the two year degree so youcould see him that much sooner.”Finally they arrive at the hall. Al¬though it was an hour after the recep¬tion was te have begun, there was noline and the students were strewnaround the lobby in little nervousgroups. George wondered at this tard¬iness but accepted Smedley’s explana¬tion that the President was probablyat home reading the Hundred GreatBooks with Mr. Adler while Miltonturned the pages and Maude sketchedthem all.Inasmuch as nothing was doing onthe first floor, they decided to do alittle exploring above. As they climbedthe stairs, George’s well-combed hairbristled. Smedley, recognizing thecause of the goat’s fear, calmed himimmediately. “Even though this lookslike the mortuary where we paid ourrespects to Uncle Fortescue, it isn’tone,” he explained. “It’s not a place ofsadness at all, but one of amusement.”While George couldn’t quite reconcilehimself to this view, he did calm downand only bristled occasionally whenone of the paintings leered at him.After they had their fill of the pic¬ture magazines littered about the ta¬bles, they again decided to go down¬stairs. When they had run the wind¬ing gauntlet of the portraits, they sawthat the line had formed.“Goodness,” said Smedley, “They’vebegun and they’re only an hour and ahalf late this year.” He and Georgegot in line and soon were movingtoward the Receiving Line. Smedleyleaned over and whispered to George,“Don’t be obvious but toward the endof the line there’s a couple that lookslike Mr. and Mrs. Northrup. Is it?”George the Goat turned nonchalant¬ly and then nodded his head affirma¬tively for he recognized the youngteacher even when he didn’t wear hisJeep Shoes.In this short space of time, they hadarrived at the reception room. “Good-nes,” said Smedley, “that’s a shortline.” He had just finished this obser¬vation when the aid asked his name.“I’m Smedley,” he said brightly. “Andthis is George the Goat.”“Mr. Anderson, this is Mr. Smed¬ley,” announced the aide.“Mr. Colwell, this is Mr. Smedley,”shouted Mr. Anderson extending hishand.“Mrs. Colwell, this is Mr. Smed¬ley,” said Mr. Caldwell, extending hishand.“Mrs. Colwell, this is Mr. Smed¬ley,” said Mr. Colwell, extending hishand.“Mr. Hutchins, this is Mr. Smed¬ley,” said Mrs. Caldwell extending herhand.“Mrs. Hutchins, this is Mr. Smed¬ley,” said Mr. Hutchns extending hishand. John Harmon“Mr. Brumbaugh, this Is Mr. Smed¬ley,” said Mrs. Hutchins extendingher gloved hand.“How do you do, Mr. Smedley,” saidMr. Brumbaugh. But things had hap¬pened so fast, Smedley replied, “Pmglad to meet you, Mr. Colwell.”George the Goat didn’t fare muchbetter. The aide misinterpreted hisname and introduced him thusly, “Mr.Anderson, this is Mr. DeGote.”“Mr. Colwell, this is Mr. De-Geaux,” said Mr. Andeson reaching invain for George’s hand.“Mrs. Colwell, this is Mr.Degas,”said Mr. Colwell, shaking George’sleft ear.“Mr. Hutchins, this is Mr. DeGott,”said Mrs. Colwell shaking George’sright ear.“Mrs. Hutchins, this is Mr. De-Goff,” shouted Mr. Hutchins shakingGeorge’s tie.“Mr. Brumbaugh, this is Mr. De-Golf,” said Mrs. Hutchins shakingGeorge’s moist nose in her glovedhand.“I’m pleased to meet you. MonsieurDeGaulle,” said Mr. Brumbaugh ashe kissed George on both cheeks.Somewhat dazed by the experience,Smedley and George stood there andwatched the line. Just then Mrs.Northrup was being introduced.“Mr. Colwell, this is Mrs. North¬rup,” called Mr. Anderson mechanical¬ly. Then realizing who she was, hestammered, “Oh . . . Oh . . . Hello,Mrs. Northrup!”Just then Smedley, George and theothers who stood there to get a lookat those to whom they had been sohastily introduced were told to moveby the aide.While they were sippng their punch,Smedley turned to George, “Good¬ness,” said Smedley. “We got alldressed up and they didn’t even noticeus. I haven’t seen so much sp<jed sincewe visited the Ford Plant.”Jazz CocktailsJazz on the South Side and closetoo!

All of whichmeans Albert Ammons and Pete John¬son have settled in the Cabin in theSky at 64th and Cottage and are dish¬ing out some Mississippi Mozart thatwould even send Our Pal Joey.Co-ordination and jazz are synony¬mous, but precision and Ammons-Johnson are inseparable. When twoconcert pianists work from a scorewithout a flaw, the result is pleasant.When two jazz piano men improviseso as to fit each part in its properplace, the result is amazing. Andthat’s just what happened.After two warmer-uppers to curefirst night cold hands, they beat outa five minute job on St. Louis Blueswhich contained some of the fastest,closest boogie woogie we’ve everheard.

The afternoon shadows were lengthen¬ing, and all was quiet. Suddenly a small being, wrappedin a long black opera cape and topped by a grey fedoraturned up in front and back like a buccaneer’s bonnet,came skulking into sight. He paused ominously for awhile, and a feeling of tenseness filled the air. Then, assuddenly as he had come, he disappeared into the shad¬ows.The scene is one for mild alarm: perhaps Mr. Hutchinswould be wise to get a new watchdog for such minor bo¬geys; a Pekinese, at least.We would like to pass on to you the story about Har¬mon Craig, now of the United States Navy, and PresidentHutchins.

With the potentialities of AliceDuer Miller’s beautiful poem-story,ready-made dialgoue, a competent castand the most breathtaking sets thathave ever been screened, the movie isstill a flop. The obvious blame falls on 'Robert Nathan and the other screenwriters involved; they have taken thesimple story of the American woman,Susan Dunne (the only reason IreneDunne could have been chosen for this part is the sim¬ilarity of given names), who reluctantly fell in love withan Englishman and England, and had ^ to choose twicebetween England and America. The emphasis has been soswitched, and the character of Susan so sentimentalized,that the exact moral of the movie is vague; the closingsection of the book, “I have seen much to hate here, muchto forgive,” which leads up to the climactic choice, isleft completely out, and a sob speech reminiscent of “InFlanders Fields” dubbed in.Irene Dunne is a little lost in a part that cries for themore steady poise of Teresa Wright or a Barbara Stan¬wyck. She has made of Susan a silly, gushing, and rathervulgar American girl. The father, played by Frank Mor¬gan, is given to cracking bad jokes and using doubtfulAmerican slang, and is certainly not the scholarly Yankeeof Mrs. Miller’s poems. The Eglish characters come outa great deal better; Alan Marshal as John, Susan's Eng-gish husband, and Gladys Cooper as Lady Jean, his re¬served, thoroughbred mother, both give superb per¬formances. But they succeed only momentarily in remov¬ing the vulgar taint of the whole picture.

Professor Ab¬raham said. While more extensiveschooling gave the older studentsgreater command of facts, as for ex¬ample in American history, they wereno better qualified to reason logicallyabout them than were the younger stu¬dents, he said.There is a lack of logical abilityamong teachers, and their prejudicesand confusions are conveyed to theirpupils, Abraham charged. Thinkingshould be incorporated with fact-gath¬ering, not left to a distant future,when it is vaguely indulged in afterthe facts are forgotten, he declared.Post-War PlanningLouis Wirth, Professor of Sociologyon leave as director of the IllinoisPostwar Planning Commission spokeon the work of the Commission. SaidProfessor Wirth, “It is easier to pre¬pare for war than for peace. Victory,like war, may break out suddenly, butpeace has to be built. What we do orfail to do now and in the next fewweeks or months will lay the basis forprogress, prosperity and order, or forstagnation, poverty and chaos duringthe years to come.The primary responsbility of theState within our Federal system isthat of furnishing the leadership, pro¬viding the resources, setting thestandards and supervising the admin-stration of a wide range of servicesfor the people of their respective juris¬dictions directly affecting their safe¬ty, health, welfare, education, recrea¬tion and general conditions of livingand making a living.If the commission’s leaders andmembers rise to their opportunities, ifthey can escape the pressure of par¬tisan politics and win the prestige andsupport which the importance of theirre.sponsibilities merits the State of Il¬linois will have a better future andstate planning in American will havetaken a step forward.The Problem of aLasting PeaceA lasting peace can be secured onlythrough a broad structural revisionwhich will make the consumer and notthe producer central in the economic bureau on • the lucrative basis. In¬stead of ration points, a price was tobe placed on the individual heads ofthe renegade masculine populace.

Lastbut not least comes news of one of ourpatriotic little lassies, Violette (Bun¬ny, to you) Lang, who is a CorporalLancette in the Canadian WACS, andpaid our fair city a visit recently.—V.G.system, S. I. Hayakawa, Illinois Insti¬tute of Technology professor, declaredin an address delivered at the confer¬ence.“High prices, scarcity, monopoly—these are not the products of evil,scheming men,” Professor Hayakawasaid. “They do not result from ilLwill,human cussedness, original sin, orshortsightedness. They are implicit inthe very structure of the act of buy¬ing and selling. Change the structureof the situation in which people are,and you change the people. The me-chanicp of how to conduct business sothat neither party, seller nor buyer,can take advantage of the other, re¬main to be discovered.”Radicals and reactionaries both errin making the producer the centralfigure in their systems, whereas thebasic fact is that men are consumersby nature and producers only by neces¬sity, and their economy sh Duld beplanned for consumer benefit. Profes¬sor Hayakawa said.The hundred-year-old consumer-co¬operative movement has demonstratedthat the consumer can be benefitted byexchange methods which, by givinghim a share in the profits of the enter¬prise, make him a partner in all phasesof the business, including production.In other words, here has been invent¬ed, for the first time in the history ofcommerce, a means whereby a businesstransaction can automatically be madeequitable to both buyer and seller. Itdoes away with the so-called profitmotive; it simply rechannelizes it.“I am sure,” he told his audience,“that consumer co-operatives are notthe only kind of social structure need¬ed to bring peace into the world. Thereare other social inventions in govern¬ment, commerce and international re¬lationships that have to be developed,but each such institution has to be in¬vestigated in terms of its stated ideals,but in terms of structure of the situa¬tions it sets up—in terms of the impli¬cations of that structure as it affectshuman conduct. When we are able topredict, we shall be able to control.Social scientists, when they are moreadequately able to predict and to con¬trol, will lay the foundations of a last¬ing peace.” . . -t“Devil Is An Empress”ens Fiction SeriesThe Documentary Film Group pre¬sented as the first fiction film of itsnew series, The Devil is an Empress,last Tuesday evening.
