Dr. Niebuhr, Professorof Applied Christianity at the UnionTheological Seminary, is the first dis¬tinguished American clergyman tohave had the honor, of giving thefamous Gifford Lectures of Scotland.Dr. Niebuhr received his early ed¬ucation at Elmherst College. Fromthere he went to Eden TheologicalSeminary, and later to the DivinitySchool of Yale University. At Yale,he received a Bachelor of DivinityPostwar EmploymentSubject of Sunday’sChicago Round TableThe subject of the University ofChicago Round Table’s discussion lastSunday was “Needed: Twenty Mil¬lion Postwar Jobs”. William H. Spen¬cer, on leave as Dean of the Schoolof Business of the University of Chi¬cago and at the present time MidwestRegional Director of the War Man¬power Commission, Robert Nathan,formerly chairman of the PlanningCommittee of the W.L.B. and noweconomic consultant to the FrenchCommittee on National Liberation,and Neil H. Jacoby, professor of fi¬nance in the School of Business of theUniversity of Chicago participated inthe Round Table discussion.Mr. Nathan declared that “thestates’ rights issue in relation to eco¬nomic planning for the postwar periodis a phoney.” He believes that sincewe did not fight the war with forty-eight different armies and produceour war materials through forty-eightdifferent plans, we will not be able tosolve the postwar economic problemsby forty-eight different methods. “Thereadjustment period is just as mucha part of the war as the military bat¬tles and we must assume our respon¬sibility on these problems and remem¬ber that they are national problemswhich have to be solved on a nationalbasis by national planning.”According to Spencer, fifty-five mil¬lion jobs must be provided for in or¬der to run the postwar economy, or,“eight or nine million morejobs than we had in 1940.” He sug¬gested that the government make ad¬equate provision for unemploymentinsurance during the reconversionwhich will inevitably cause brief pe¬riods of unemployment.Jacoby estimated that perhaps fif¬teen to twenty million may be unem¬ployed at one time or another in theperiod of reconversion but that thisis not a situation about which thecountry should become “panicky”.The three speakers agreed that theGeorge Bill, recently passed by theSenate, is not adequate to meet theneeds of reconversion, and they sug¬gested that the defeated Murray-Kil-gor bill is the type of broad-based leg¬islation and planning that must beadopted for proper postwar readjust¬ment.Nathan said that the “transitional”unemployment period must not be al¬lowed to become “a chronic situationlike we had in 1933” and that theveterans must be provided with jobsvery soon, for if they do not findwork, a situation may arise in which“the free enterprise” and “democraticsystem” may be lost. degree in 1914, and a year later hereceived his Master of Arts.

Communities need common interests andidentities to hold them together, and they alsoneed some means of communicating those com¬mon factors to the several members of the com¬munities, whether by clay tablet, papyrus, radio¬television, or The Chicago Tribune, The manythings which happen to one part of a communityare “news” to the other part which was notpresent at the time of the occurrences. Also,situations calling for group action cannot bemet unless the entire group is adequately in¬formed, and so on. In short, a newspaper isprimarily a community service. The Universityof Chicago is also a community, and has as muchneed of a means of internal communication asany other kind of community. The ChicagoMaroon is trying to fill that need.However, there is a further function thatneeds be served at the University. This func¬tion exists only because of the unique constitu¬tion of the University, itself. Because muchthat is present at the University is just emerg¬ing from an experimental status, there is a greatneed for integration among its many parts, bothold and new. There are rifts—academic, intell¬ectual, and social—between the people of the firsttwo years of the College and the people of thesecond two years; between those of the secondtwo years and the people of' the Divisions andprofessional schools. However, there is an everincreasing degree of academic integration in theoverlap of classes.But for the other kind of integration—intell¬ectual and social—^the classroom alone is notenough. We have advocated class organizationsto coordinate and integrate the activities andinterests of each class, and a supra-class studentgovernment to do the same for the entire studentbody. There is, however, a role that the uni¬versity paper can play in this matter. By in¬cluding the entire campus in its news coverage,and by making its columns available to all stu¬dents, as far as providing a means for the ex¬change of opinion is concerned, the paper canalso serve as a medium of integration, as well ascommunication.There are further values to be found in theuniversity p/iper for those students who part¬icipate in the publication of the paper. We spendlong months in classes learning various disci¬plines. The primary aims of such studies is todevelop certain vital mental processes: the abil¬ity to analyze and think logically, the abilityto express coherent thoughts and ideas throughthe medium of a common language. Under theproper conditions, a staff position on thee uni¬versity paper can be a wonderful place to exer¬cise and develop further the many disciplineslearned in the classroom.The obstacles we face in making The ChicagoMaroon serve these proper purposes and func¬tion for the University are not many, but theyare great. If we may list them, they are: 1) acampus-wide antipathy towards the very name,and a preference for remembering the paper'sunhappy past rather than its current endeavorsto improve; 2) a refusal by the students to co¬operate in the financial support of the paper—this means buying the paper each week; and 3)an apathy towards any active participation inthe preparation and publication of the paper.After six months in our position as editor, wehave not been able to resolve these obstacles.Somehow, we believe we never shall until thecampus at large develops an appreciation ofthe definite values and real benefits, both individ¬ual and collective, which can be received by fur¬thering the development of a worthwhile campusnewspaper.

A number of people from thiscampus who made the pilgrimage onTuesday arrived to discover that therewere no programs to be had and noway to tell what was being played..Wednesday morning, walking fromFaculty Exchange to Lexington Hallthis reviewer was stopped six timesby people who had been there andweren’t quite sure what they hadheard. When one is stopped thatmany times in the course of twoblocks, it is time to stop and reflect.Personally, I solved the problem ofprograms by remembering what hadbeen advertised; finally on Tuesday,I rounded up some circulars of theevent and distributed them to myparty. For the growing group ofpeople on this campus, however, whoare beginning to take an interest inchamber music and who were finallysold on going to an actual performanceto be exposed to two hours of seldomperformed Haydn, Mozart, and Bee¬thoven is to undo a great deal ofmissionary work. Apparently pro¬grams were all gone on Tuesday ex¬cept for a favored few.* There are only two explanations forthis. The paper shortage argumentmay be dismissed as untrue. Oneglance at the printeed booklets shows an enormous waste of paper in pagemargins and between items—thismay be ascribed to faculty makeup.The other explanation would seem tobe that the management is too pooror too cheap to provide sufficient pro¬grams. If this be true, I am suremost of the audience would be willingto follow the English custom of buyingtheir programs. In that event, how¬ever, they would have the right toexpect the scholarly and detailed an-alses of the works which Englishaudiences get for their shilling($0.25).Best of the Budapest programs wasSunday’s: Haydn’s Quartet in G Min^or, Op. 74, No. 3, **The Horseman**;Mozart’s Quartet in B Flat, K. 458,**The Hunt**; and Beethoven’s Quartetin C, Op. 59, No. 3, ** Third Rasoumow-sky**. Like most of the importantHaydn quartets the G Minor has anickname—usually applied with morepicturesqueness tha n truth. Toveysaid that this quartet was so namedfrom the final allegro con brio: othersaver it is from the’ first movement.Nevertheless the Budapest gave it aflawless performance with special dashand verve in the last movement.The Mozart “Hunt” was the bestperformed work, having great sweet¬ness of tone and well-balance reson¬ance without the tendency to harsh¬ness which appeared momentarily inthe first and last movements of theBeethoven. Traveling BazaarUnder the influence of the hot dryweather, one of the time-honored fea-. tures of life on the Quadrangles has|fblossomed forth in new glory...TheBaby-Buggy Brigade has again in¬vaded the Midway, only this year theproportions are staggering.. .It haslong been the habit of proud mothersand sullen nurse-maids to exercisetheir little dears on the Universitycampus, usually doing so under thetheory that soaking up the heavily-' charged academic atmosphere willhave a profound effect on the young minds.Some of the sights to be seen while examining thisphenomenon seem to indicate that the Child PsychologyDept, could very profitably turn the quads into an ex¬perimental lab...For instance, near the noon hour al¬most any day an un-chaperoned group of moppets inthe 4 to 7 year-old class entertain themselves by tryingto drown one another in the fountain at HutchinsonCourt.. .Sometimes they broaden their activities to pro¬vide entertainment for the ASTP boys who line up out¬side the Coffee Shop waiting lunch.. .The other day oneof the more daring imps climbed to the top of the foun¬tain’s spillway and after suitably calling attention tohimself executed a neat little tour-de-force whic^l landedhim in the basin with a great splash on the seat of hisdignity.. .This to the wild delight of his companionsand the appreciative applause of the soldier audience...But the story does not end here...It seems the daringyoung terror was possessed of a distinctly mercenarynature for he proceeded to pass among the ASTP withcap in hand demanding payment for the show, loudlyannouncing that if sufficient coppers were not forth¬coming he would splash them with water from the foun¬tain. (P.S. He collected about 35c from the startled sol¬diers).Then, too, there is the 16 year old rosy-cheeked nurse¬maid who has been seen around frequently.. .This char¬acter seems to be even more delinquent than the littlehorror she lugs around in the pram...The young ladyin question usually arrives on campus about three o’clockand parks herself near Cobb where she can get a goodview of the sailors leaving their classes.. .Her smallcharge, however, is much more interesting to watch...While nursie is engaged in attracting the sailors’ atten¬tion, the little bounder usually busies himself by throw¬ing his wooden blocks at the squirrels and/or any pass¬ing student who happens to arouse his interest.. .Wheninflicting pain of this sort begins to pall, our diminutivehero can then be counted upon to express loud annoyanceat his nurse, doubtless at her failure to entertain him... Allowing him to amuse himself by pulling her hairout by the roots so successfully diverts her attentionfrom the sailors that nurse and baby are soon strollingoff the campus with deceiving expressions of beatificinnocence on their healthy faces and are seen again ina few days in a repeat performance.,It is, no doubt, observance of the above episodesand others that has led Dr. George Hilton (The Maroon'srecently decorated Boswell) to the conclusion that allchildren between the ages of 1 and 10 should be raisedin dark closets... And again with the above situationsin mind. Bazaar is inclined to agree with him...D.S.Bill RobertsLife Lines“But, Howard, who are we to be telling General Eisen¬hower what to do?”Nancy SmithBox OfficeTHE YELLOWCANARY ... isa complicated Brit¬ish picture involv¬ing several count¬er-counter espion¬age movements. Itis delightfully andintelligently com-j plicated, however,M «vhich distinguishes^ it from so manyAmerican movies which are purposelyconfusing in the hope of muddling theweaker-minded into believing the pic¬ture is good. “The Yellow Canary”taxes the ingenuity of even the higherL Q. groups. It is one of those movieswhich must be seen from the begin¬ning. If you walk in 'during themiddle—or relax your powers of con¬centration for one minute^—you shallbecome completely undone and willhave to start all over again when thenext feature is shown.Beautiful Anna Neagle plays asecret agent (it is not known fromwhich country until the picture iswell along) and her co-star, RichardGreene a member of. the British In¬telligence. The dialogue is refresh¬ingly subtle and sophisticated. Theyhandle it well. British photography,as usual, falls short of Americanphotography, but if the whole moviewere done in complete blackness itwould still be several degrees betterthan a great many of Hollywood’smore sensational “drammers.”Where also in an American-mademovie will one find a scene in whichtwo air-raid wardens are mildly argu¬ing about the origin of Shakespeare’s(and/or Bacon’s) works and quotingDr. Johnson during a bombing raid?Such a silly, rhetorical question!To sketch the plot even briefiywould be impossible in a short review;it would be difficult even in a longerone. It will have to suffice for thepresent to say that it is fast andsurprising—even to veteran plot-guessers. Politically-minded moviefans will find in “The Yellow Canary”a neat take-off on Unity Mitford, thedespised Englishwoman, who wasdescribed by Hitler as being “theperfect type of Aryan beauty.” . . .Last Fiction FilmOf Summer SeriesShown Tuesday NiteA colorful climax to the series offour fiction films presented by theDocumentary Film Group was theFrench farce, “Generals Without But¬tons.”“Little children, love one another!”was the somewhat hackneyed theme,embodied in this tale of feud andschool-teacher romance.Two French towns, Velrans andLongeverne, once had an argumentabout the building of a shrine to therain. Velrans, noted for its vineyards,didn’t want the rain, whereas Long-verne grew cabbages, and dependedupon ample precipitation for its live¬lihood. Gang warfare among the chil¬dren of the two towns, aided by a loveaffair between the mayor of Longe¬verne and the platinum blonde school-marm of Velrans eventually effecteda temporary reconciliation of thetownspeople. The appearance of arain-cloud on the horizon, however,promptly precipitated the newly-dis¬covered brothers back into the hilari¬ous chaos of another feud—completewith the French versions of custardpie throwing. It is upon this moralnote that the film ended and the largeaudience retired to live happily everafterwards in the citadel of brotherlylove. —C.E. Music Departmeut •Adds Albeueri TrioTo Coucert SeriesIn addition to the concerts of theChamber Concert series already an¬nounced for the University, beginningOctober 20, the Department of Musicis adding a fifth attraction, the Al-beneri Trio. This exceptionally fine,new chamber music ensemble will playin Chicago for the first time at Man-del Hall on January 30. The trioconsists of Alexander Schneider, vio¬lin, Benar Heifetz, ‘cello, and ErichIto Kahn, piano.Mr. Schneider played at the Uni¬versity this summer with Mr. RalphKirkpatrick, and was formerly a mem¬ber of the Budapest String Quartet.Mr. Heifetz was a member of theKolisch Quartet which played a seriesof five Beethoven-Bartok concerts atthe University a few years ago underthe sponsorship of the ElizabethSprague Coolidge Foundation. Mr.Kahn, a Parisian, played with thegreat ‘cellist Pablo Casals until thewar forced him to come to this coun¬try.

Morgen¬thau on Tuesday, presented the sci¬ence and ethics as opposed in theirapplication to political action.Mr. Morgenthau stated the present-day solution of the use of sci¬ence to introduce the “reign of rea¬son” over human affairs. He protestedthe universality of this “solution”,especially in the field of political ac¬tion, indicating that this is one ofthe fields that science cannot govern.In the all-scientific view, ethics losesits significance and becomes either anabstract, system of rational preceptsor is identified with political prudence.Moral perfection is to be attained bydevotion to this viewpoint, but mean¬ingful political action becomes impos¬sible. This belief implies that men arenot evil, only foolish and portends nogood for the future solution of the so-called re-education of the Fascist na¬tions.There are divisions even in theschool that do believe in the import¬ance of ethics.

We dis¬covered today that the Cat doesn’teven have a name.Before we write another paragraph,we must pass on the story of the Bra¬zilian Student and the Youthful Re¬porters ... Things were quieting downone afternoon, when two little girls,average age about nine years, fromthe Elementary School came up to thedesk, asking if they could please in¬terview a foreign student, since theywere learning about foreign countriesin geography. We searched the file andstarted to call various people on thehouse phone, all of whom were outor busy. Finally we hit upon SenorSeptimus de Mendonca Clark fromBrazil.Lifting up the phone, we said, “Mr.Clark, there are two young ladiOs herefrom the Elementary School who wantto interview a foreign student, andif you’re not too busy could you comedown ? ”“I’ll be right down,” said the aston¬ished Mr. Clark.Two minutes later he was at thedesk, being introduced to the two re¬porters who giggled constantly andpoked each other with loud stagewhispers, “No, YOU ask him!”Mr. Clark, sizing up the situation,led them off to the main lobby to car¬ry on the interview.

Mr. Mor¬genthau, who opposes thfs view, ar¬gued that an individual who is per¬mitted by ethics to do something inone sphere and is prohibited by an¬other set of ethics to do this samething in the other is working againstnature.

The ques¬tion of the existence or non-existenceof God involves fundamental beliefsand is one for philosophy and notscience; and “science has no rationalobjection to either belief,” ProfessorHartshome said.He emphasized, however, the differ¬ence between theology and religion,saying, “Theology, which considers thenature of God, is not religion butphilosophy and has to be judged assuch. Bad philosophy, embodied in,bad theology and enforced by religiousauthority and allegedly by religioussentiment, disfigures the great sys¬tems of thought. It has been shownthat religious sentiment does not re¬quire the doctrines of the oldertheologies.”SPIC - N - SPANChef Snowden^s SpecialtiesBUHERMILK WHEATCAKESFRENCH TOASTFRENCH FRIED SHRIMPOpen 7 a.m.-8 p.m.,except SundayEnjoy Fine Music in Air-Conditioned Comfort 1131-1133 E. 55th St.Complete Selectionof Beers andOther BeveragesMIDway 0524Blatz Beer Boosters Win Game, 17-1Against "Jacks" Team,Cimmerblatt StarsIn their last game, the ChicagoBoosters beat the “Jacks” of Jack’sRestaurant by the score of seventeento one.
