Friday, September 1, 1944Vo. 4, No. 11 Z-149SPAC Continues CallFor Precinct WorkersEmphasizing the necessity for uni¬ty and common action by all Ameri¬cans in every walk of life in determin¬ing the world of tomorrow, the Stu¬dent Political Action Committee isasking all willing workers to helpwith organized precinct work, in urg¬ing potential voters to register, and ingetting ballot applications to service¬men and women.In showing how the future of thecountry is in the hands of the votingcitizens, the Committee, in mimeo¬graphed posters, and postcards mailedto interested persons, shows how theballots will determine whether theworld of tomorrow will move forwardwith confidence to “full employment,price control, lasting peace, and op¬portunities for all,’^ or to “breadlines,sky-high prices. World War III, anda gloomy, empty future.”This foundation canvassing work isintended to be followed by further ef¬forts in the precincts to get the vot¬ers interested in candidates, who, bypast record and their stand on the la¬bor, social security, farm, housing,conservation, financial, and nationalsecurity fronts, will help bring abouta peaceful, progressive world.The student committee has alreadyofficially endorsed Congressman Wil¬liam A. Rowan, of the Second District,for re-election, and will probably alsosupport Senator Scott W. Lucas, Mrs.Emily Taft Douglas for congressman-at-large, and President Roosevelt.All prospective workers have beenrequested to come to Lexington 15-Bduring the afternoon, or to telephoneEsther Chevlen, recruiting head, atHyde Park 6317.This move follows the action lastHarris InstituteTo Sponsor FourLectures On FoodThe twentieth annual institute ofthe University's Harris Foundationnext week, will be devoted to a dis¬cussion of “Food in International Iso¬lations,” a topic brought into promi¬nence by the present world situation.Sessions of the Institute will be heldbeginning Monday and continuingthrough next Friday, with four pub¬lic lectures during the afternoon ses¬sions. All lectures will be deliveredin Mandel Hall, beginning at 4:30.Monday’s lecture will be given byC. A. Elvehjem, bio-chemist at theUniversity of Wisconsin. His subjectwill be “Advances in Nutritional Re¬search? and Welfare.” Karl Brandt, di¬rector of the Food Research Instituteof Stanford University, will discussthe “Marriage of Nutrition and Agri¬culture” on Tuesday. On Wednesday,Percy Bidwell, of the Council on For¬eign Relations in New York, will de¬liver a lecture entitled “PostwarTrade Policies,” and on ThursdayPaul H. Appleby, assistant directorof the Bureau of the Budget, willdeal with “New Horizons for Foodand Agriculture.”The closed sessions of the Institute,which will be open only to invitedguests, will consider such topics asthe food relief and administration ma¬chinery created by the United Na¬tions, nutrition and food policy, foodsupplies, production goals, better nu¬trition, and international arrange¬ments and commodity agreements. week of the American Youth for De¬mocracy’s in offering joint political ac¬tion in a broad win-the-war unity ofstudents and faculty, which wouldfollow the path taken by the Commit¬tee.At that time, SPAC response wasthat all willing workers would be ac¬cepted as individuals for precinctwork, rather than as a group, thisview being extended to all prospectivecanvassers. Precincting is being donemainly in Woodlawn area from theMidway to 63rd St., and in scatteredprecincts north of the campus.Commonwealth Club, the other lib¬eral campus organization, has beensupporting the American Common¬wealth Party draft declaration pub¬lished during Christmas Week, 1943.The declaration is similar to the‘world future’ aims of the other twoorganizations.It declares the party desires a “dem¬ocratic road to a better and fullerdemocracy, with greater equality andsecurity, expending and guaranteeingmore effectively those basic economic,political and personal freedoms with¬out the word ‘democracy’ would bea mere sham.”In its advocacy of the draft de¬claration and comments on a programof action, the Commonwealth Clubhas offered the most complete state¬ment of its aims for the present andpostwar world.School of BusinessAppoints F. Gleiser1st Woman ProfessorAppointment of Fern W. Gleiser ofIowa State College as the first womanprofessor of full rank in the Univer¬sity’s School of Business has been an-,nounced by Garfield Cox, acting deanof the school.A recognized authority in the fieldof food management. Miss Gleiser hasbeen appointed professor of institu¬tion management courses in the threeyear program of graduate studies.Students who qualify for the coursewill have two years of specializedwork in general business subjects;one year in foods, nutrition, and prob¬lems of food purchasing and prepara¬tion; and all courses in the Univer¬sity’s broad program for research andeducation in basic problems relatedto food. Miss Gleiser will also assistin developing the restaurant admin¬istration program now being conduct¬ed by the School of Business.Miss Gleiser who received herbachelor of science degree in institu¬tion management from the Universityof Washington in 1924, and a masterof science degree from Columbia Uni¬versity 'in 1930, has headed the insti¬tution management department atIowa State during the past 13 years.Before 1931, she was associated withDrexel Institute as assistant profes¬sor of industrial management, withColumbia University as part time in¬structor in institutional management,and with Oregon State College as aninstructor.Miss Gleiser’s appointment will beeffective October 1 for the opening ofthe School of Business’ course in res-tiiurant administration. Krueger FailsTo Place NameOn Fall BallotThe campaign of Maynard Krueger,Assistant Professor of Economics, forCongressman of the Second Congres¬sional District on the American Com¬monwealth Party ticket, has come toan end. On Tuesday, August 29,deadline for filing nominating peti¬tions, the office of the County Clerkstated that no petitions had been filedfor independent candidates in thisdistrict.Mr. Krueger, member of the execu¬tive board of the ACP, and prominentmember of the Socialist Party, hasbeen supported by the campus Com¬monwealth Club, chairmanned by Har¬old Sheppard. The organization hasheld two forum lectures to stimulatestudent interest, and had actively goneout into the Fifth Ward, seeking sig¬natures to back its candidate. Fif¬teen thousand qualified signatureswere needed.This tentatively draws to a closethe violent clash between the Common¬wealth Club and the Student PoliticalAction Corpmittee, another liberal stu¬dent group.The C. C. has been in favor oflong-run independent action with theestablishment of the nucleus of thethird party now, using a precinctorganization to support them.The SPAC, however, believes thatnow is not the time to begin an in¬dependent party, that any attempts todo so will prove abortive, and in thefuture, the CIO’s Political ActionCommittee will form the nucleus ofindependent machinery, even thoughit is supporting the candidates ofother parties at the present time.The SPAC had also fought Krueg¬er’s nomination on the grounds thatit would probably cause the defeatof Congressman William A. Rowan,whose reelection is advocated by thecommittee, and force the election ofthe Republican Downs, who they claimis ‘a reactionary.’Further action by the Common¬wealth Club will not be decided onuntil the executive council meetssometime during the next week.Alpha Phi Omega ToFingerprint StudentsThe Gamma Sigma chapter of Al¬pha Phi Omega will undertake thejob of fingerprinting the students ofthe University during the fall quar¬ter. The records will be for the Fed¬eral Bureau of Investigation’s civil¬ian files, which are used for purposesof identification.The work will begin during Orien¬tation Week, and all incoming fresh¬men will be fingerprinted. The servicewill then be extended to the entirestudent body. The 'booth will probablybe located in Student Health Servicein Billings Hospital. It will also serveas a general information booth forthe freshmen.Bob Crowder is the president of thegroup; Robert Kirvan is campus af¬fairs chairman.Gamma Sigma, re-organized thissummer with Zens Smith as facultyadviser, is the University chapter ofthe National Service Fraternity. It iscomposed of students who are or whohave been affiliated with the BoyScouti of America. Its purpose is ser¬vice to the school, the community,and the nation. Price Five Cents"Keep Up AttackOn Anti-vivisectionSays Dr. ADR. ANTON J. CARLSONCommonwealth ClubHears Leonard LevyOn Party PoliticsSpeaking on “1110 Social-EconomicBasis of Political Parties” at a Com¬monwealth Club meeting Monday,Leonard Levy, international executivevice-president of the United Retail,Wholesale, and Department Store Em¬ployees (CIO), advocated the abolitionof the profit system by violence. Nor¬mal political action, he claimed, per¬petuates a condition in which thecommon man finds it difficult to live.Captital and workers move unevenly—it is up to the masses to solve theproblem.Monopolies will continue to progressin' this country, constantly constrain¬ing the small businessman, and theresult will be disaster, until the peoplebegin to evaluate the policy of ignor¬ing small business. When asked fora name for the organization thatwould accomplish this change he de¬sires, Levy declined to answer, re¬sponding that “I’ve become very charyabout the use of names.”Denouncing the Communist Partyas “a foreign bureau of the SovietUnion, disinterested in American wel¬fare and interests,” he said that theAmerican Commonwealth Party, ofwhose executive board he is a mem¬ber, has nothing in common with it.He asserted that the Socialist Partyis “a moribund organization, not bas¬ed on the social and economic inter¬ests of the workers—a dead organi¬zation because it no longer holds theinterest of the workers.”The concluding lecture of the series"will be held Tuesday evening. Thespeaker will be Maynard C. Krueger,Assistant Professor of Economics.James L. Adams to GiveRockefeller AddressThe Convocation Sunday addressfor the University’s 218th Convoca¬tion will be delivered this Sunday atRockefeller Chapel by James LutherAdams, Caleb Brewster Hackley Pro¬fessor of Theology, of the FederatedTheological Faculty. Mr. Adams’ sub¬ject will be “A Little Lower Than theAngels.”Mr. Adams is a graduate of theUniversity of Minnesota, and holdstwo degrees from Harvard University. J. Carlson“Chances are good to defeat theanti-vivisection amendment now beingconsidered by the Chicago City Coun¬cil, provided that we keep up thefight,” declared Dr. Anton J. Carlson,leader of the scientific forces opposingthe amendent, in an interview yester¬day. He urged all individuals whoare in favor of animal experimentationto communicate with city aldermenin opposition to the measure, whichwould end the practice of makingdogs unclaimed at the City Poundavailable for research.Dr. Carlson emphasized that al¬though the Herald-American has easedup somewhat in its campaign, andwill probably ease up more, the issueis far from dead. As evidence ofthis fact, he cited the followingthreatening letter which he receivedyesterday: -“Dr. A. J. Carlson:—“Or maybe I should write “Butcher’^As surely as there are skies above,we will get you; No dogs are safe aslong as sadists are dree to hide behindthe cloack of scieiitist*“Other cities, seepi to do alright,,without butchery of .dogs and onething certain, the police cant watchover you always.“We have' a dist of you so calledscientists to deal with.”So until we meet.Death.’?Dr. Carlson, Professor Emeritus ofPhysiology at the ^ University, andPresident of the American Associa¬tion for the Advancement of Science,also told of plans of the Illinois So*ciety for the Protection of MedicalResearch, which represents the vari¬ous schools and hospitals using dogrsin research, to continue its pressureon the City Council to defeat theproposed bill.* After a stormy hearing on the pro¬posed measure Monday before theCouncil Committee on Health, it wasreferred to a sub-committee consist¬ing of Aldermen Gillespie, Lancaster,.Hartnett, Upton, O’Hallaren, chair¬man and sponsor of the amendment*There is little prospect that the sub¬committee will take any action in thematter before the middle of next weeksince Alderman O’Hallaren will beout of the city until after Labor Day*Hillel FoundationTo Open Kappa SigHouse In December*A recreation room, a library, anda chapel will be among the facilitiesmade available to Jewish studentswhen the Hillel Foundation occupiesthe former Kappa Sigma house at5713 Woodlawn early in December.The new Hillel House has been en¬dowed by Mr. Max Karasik as a me¬morial to his son. Lieutenant Ray¬mond Karasik, at the suggestion ofDr. A. L. Sachar, head of the Nation¬al Hillel Foundation. Dr. Sachar em¬phasized the need for a Jewish centerat the University.Rabbi Maurice Pekarsky, directorof the Hillel Foundations both hereand at Northwestern University, willleave his Evanston home to assumefull-time direction of Hillel Housewhen it is opened.Two II Mi ppm IHearstismFor an unrivaled example of sheer ignoranceand bigotry, to say nothing of deliberate dis¬tortion and falsification of fact, one need notlook any further than to the series of articles onanti-vivisection legislation currently appearingin the Herald-American. To the everlastingshame of American journalism, supposedly fact¬ual news stories are being run in this Hearst-paper with an obvious disdain for truth or ob¬jectivity, and with motives unknown, unless oneis willing to believe that the circulation depart¬ment dictates editorial content in a newspaper.Apparently the Herald-American is willing topublish a propaganda sheet of the worst sortwithout having the decency to change its nameto something other than “newspaper."’Without any qualms or pangs of conscienceat all, the editors of the Chicago Hearstpaperhave been content to print a stupid diatribe of adisgruntled ex-laborer from Billings Hospital aspure fact against the word of some of the mostnotable men of science in this area; in open con¬tradiction of the evidence of medical history,the editors have accepted the doubtful word andauthority of one Dr. William “Hormogene” Held.They have printed misquoted statements by amedical authority, actually opposed to their cam¬paign, and by a dog-owner, likewise in favor ofvivisection, whose dog has just returned fromservice with the Army—statements immediatelydisclaimed and contradicted by their supposedauthors. By sacrificing all semblances of honestyin the typical fashion of “yellow journalism” theHer aid-American is wasting valuable newsprintto exploit a group of professional sentimentalists,hysterical dog-lovers, and assorted know-noth¬ings. It is to be hoped, however, that the mem¬bers of the City Council will not be taken in bythis journalistic sideshow.As for the anti-vivisectionists, they deludethemselves so completely as to forget about thetremendous sacrifices being made daily on battle¬fields over the v/orid—^human sacrifices. Ifthere be honest people among these misinformedcanine philanthropists, let them ask themselveswhether they would be willing to undo all thehealing and life saving by blood plasma of ourservice men. The miraculous record of our med¬ical corps in this war as compared to the last canbe attributed in great part to the perfection andalmost universal use of blood plasma on our war-wounded. With a greater number of men inactive service now than in the last war, and witha corresponding increase in the number of cas¬ualties, the death toll has been reduced to aminimum by the administration of blood plasma\even on the battlefield to reduce shock broughton by wounds and thus shorten the time beforea casualty can be brought safely to the operatingtable. Plasma is also being used to great ad¬vantage in case of post operative shock. Yet thedevelopment of plasma, plasma production andplasma administration techniques are the resultsof research and experimentation on dogs.■No one, neither scientist, doctor, nor medicalstudent, is advocating deliberate maltreatmentof, dogs or any other animals used for experi¬mentation and training. Quite the contrary,special precautions are taken to treat all labora¬tory animals as humanely as possible. Withoutrelying too heavily upon the validity of Herald-American “exposes”, it should prove rather in¬teresting to discover just how many of theseself-labeled anti-vivisectionists have ever visited»a* medical classroom or a research laboratory.Perhaps it might solve some of their emotionalHi*.*.: * ■.problems. . . . . , IIIW i "" ' ,11 ■■■I.

Of the eix only three werewritten. Of the three the best knownis the Sonata No. 3 for violin andpiano. Debussy began it in December,1915, and worked on it intermittentlyuntil March, 1917. The compositionof it, particularly the last movement,cost him much effort and the partswere recast several times before hewas completely satisfied with it. AsDebussy himself said, the themes aredrawn from several sources: somefrom French folk music and some hisown invention.Columbia's August release of thiswork, performed by Joseph Szigetiand Andor Foldes, makes available adefinitive version of the work. Twoyears ago Victor brought out a re¬ cording of the work by Mischa Elman,which was something it shouldn’t havebeen. The “celebrated” Elman syrupytone completely concealed the work’strue nature. Szigeti’s playing, part¬icularly the alleged “small tone”, isspecially suited to unfolding the trans¬lucent quality of the music: here isthe perfect clear, transparent tone.Those who associate Szigeti with thecerebral moderns will be surprised atthe warmth and feeling herein dis¬played, without running to thickness.The work in its entirety is performedas a smooth-running dialogue betweenthe two instruments, disparate thoughthey be.The odd side contains Clair de lunein a transcription by A. Roelens.This is facile dinner music, butbeautifully played.' —W. R. W. Traveling BazaarTraveling Bazaar is guest-editad this vask by BillRoberts, U.S.N.R., on boot leave from Great Lakes.)The Maroonmakers, those illustrious inhabitants ofCockroach Parnassus, casually suggested that I “at¬tempt” to write a Bazaar this week . . . probably be¬cause they are running disastrously short of materialor as a project of their “Be Kind to Dumb Servicemen”week. I have a sneaking suspicion that the latter reasonis the correct one, with all this talk about “spare thepoor doggie” and such.While wandering aimlessly around (:he Loop thisweek, blissfully ignoring Ensigns, I stumbled across anunusual situation in connection with the anti-vivisectionquestion. I was taking an apertif at Walgreen’s when Inoticed a pair of liberally Cartiered dowagers chattingin rather loud voices in the next booth. Not being a par¬ticularly well-bred person, I brazenly listened to the ad¬joining conversation and learned the following amazingstory.Mrs. Clajrton Van Williams-Gratz, apparently a per¬son of secure social standing and a friend of the chatters,had become unusually disturbed upon reading the Cham¬ber of Horrors series in the Herald-American. She hadwild nightmares in which the main characters were herpetite and pettish pekingnese and the Jekyll and Hydebutchers at the U. of C. Seized with a sudden attack ofselfless devotion she rushed down to Fifty-Ninth andCottage Grove with her Labrador mink wrap over onearm and Wang (the peke) under the other. And the furyof hell in her eyes.The research lab technicians at Billings were soon theaudience to a performance worthy of the divine Sarahhereslf. In a few well-chosen words, Wang’s mistressmade it clear that rather than sacrifice her precious petupon the barbarous altar of pseudo-science, which mighthappen if the darling strayed from home and was snap¬ped up by avaricious U. of C. doctors, she would offerherself for experimentation. The medical men, beingsensible humans and seeing the possibilities in Mrs. V.W.-Gratz, immediately accepted her proposition.Wang was wafted Gold-Coastward by the chauffeurand put to bed while his mistress underwent “unknowntortures” for the good of science. But the next morn¬ing, when the peke was informed of his owner’s fate, hebecame so upset that he immediately sank into a deepcoma from which he never recovered. Mrs. Van Williams-Gratz has martyred herself for naught . . . Love’s laborwas irretrievably lost.It’s strange.. .one never hears shouts of objectionfrom cat lovers at the use of felines for experimentation.Naturally. Aside from possessing the indisputable knowl¬edge that the animals have nine separate and distinctlives, those who know and love the cat as an animalrealize that these aloof miniature tigers just don’t givea damn. The cat knows that man is a rat and treats himas such...They live independent and completely de¬tached lives and, when they die for the ninth and lasttime, are undoubtedly reincarnated in the form of women.There is a cat at Great Lakes, (there are no doubtmany cats there, but this is a particular one), whohangs around the twenty-seventh regimental office. Hedoesn’t inhabit the place; he’s much too choosy about hisplace of residence to do that. He merely wanders aroundthe camp during the day, seduces the milkman into giv¬ing him a nightcap, then with the poise of a bewhiskeredBeau Brummel slinks into the regimental office, theholy of holies, as cool as dammit.

Under thedirection of Mack Evans this work ofVaughan Williams—which deserves torank with Walton’s Belshazzar’s Feast—enjoyed a reading which was a con¬summate blending of soloists, chorus,and orchestra. The whole waswrought into a unity which would bedifficult to surpass.The score, a rich one for all itseconomy of means, dates from thesame time as the final version of ALondon Symphony. The passages forviolas alone have a thematic structuresimilar to the kindred passages of thethird movement of th^ symphony.Subtitled A Pastoral Episode, foundedupon Bunyan’s ’Pilgrim’s Progress*the work narrates the journey of apilgrim through the land of the del¬ectable mountains to the city of Zionand his god. James McEnery, theoutstanding baritone of the choir, asthe Pilgrim was in fine voice andproduced full, well-rounded tones andbeautiful diction.Maurine Smith, soprano, as theBird who sings a paraphase of the23rd Psalm; Robert Kessler, tenor;Lee Ross, baritone; Philip Stafford,bass; as the Three Shepherds are tobe commended also. Miss Smith hasa .particularly well-developed voicewhich gave great expressiveness toU. of C. Round TableHears VansittartAsk Harsh PeaceDuring the broadcast of the Uni¬versity of Chicago Round Table lastSunday, Lord Vansittart, formerBritish permanent Under-Secretaryof State for Foreign Affairs, speak¬ing from London, maintained that theAllies themselves will be the warcriminals of World War III if theyassume any risks with the Germanpeople or indulge in any illusionsabout the settlement of Germany ofterthe war.Lord Vansittart in advocating aharsh peace for Germany insisted that“the entire German people is respon¬sible for the aggression and war andonly a hard peace involving disarma¬ment, decentralization, and re-educa¬tion will be a just and durable peace.”At the conclusion of Lord Vansit-tart’s address, Hans J. Morgenthau,Visiting Professor of Political Scienceat the University of Chicago, GeorgeN. Shuster, President of Hunter Col¬lege, and Frederick L. Schuman, Pro¬fessor of Government at WilliamsCollege, presented the American pro¬posals for preventing a third worldwar.Mr. Morgenthau argued that solu¬tion to the German problem can > beachieved within the framework of ageneral world organization, whileProfessor Schuman maintained thatthe elimination of the Junker classand the control of monopolistic bigbusiness will be necessary to restoresanity to the average middle classGerman.“No doubt the acid tests of the ca¬pacity of the United Nations to acttogether to build a world fit to live inwill lie immediately ahead of us.Hardheadedness, rather than hard¬heartedness, is far more importantin our common thought and action inthe problem of settlement followingLthe war”. President Shuster said. her part. The performance was suchas to make one hope for a repetitionin the near future. The work is notan easy one to prepare: it contains anumber of interesting and effectivedissonances which require very care¬ful handling.The program opened with WilliamBilling’s Be glad then, America, awork whose accompaniment had beenorchestrated for the occasion by ClarkeKessler. The accompaniment was nota particularly happy one: fitting aneighteenth century work with some¬thing reminiscent of Mendelssohn’sElijah did not add to the performance.It would have been better a capella.The choir then went on to sing acappella an Alleluia by^the contempor¬ary, Randall Thompson, and Kik’schimcho by Louis Lewandowski,from the Jewish liturgy. Both werewell done and in the latter Mr. Mc¬Enery as the Cantor displayed therichness of his voice in a mannersimilar to his solo appearance in theFaurd Requiem last spring. The choircontributed one more number. Psalmof Praise by Gilman Chase, organist ofthe First Unitarian Church. It isnot consequential music; but it waswell done.Although the orchestra did capableunder Charles Buckley who appearedas guest conductor for the Billings,and responded very well to MackEvans’ direction, it fared ill in itstwo “solo” numbers. Even ten weeksof rehearsal could not obviate thethorough incompetence with whichGluck’s overture to Iphigenia in Auliswas butchered. It was not even aclean slaughter. The second violinswavered in pitch on their first'(asustained) note. The horns were con¬sistently fiat. In the fugato the firstand second violins parted company onthe road and the seconds went fiatagain. The recapitulation was spoiltby the horns flattening for the nthtime. The allegro section of the work,while not taken fast enough, was toofast for the orchestra’s abilities.Sibelius’ Swan of Tuonela got off toa bad start; but the orchestra recov¬ered itself half way through. Appar¬ently something slow enough can bemanaged. Sibelius’ swan, instead offloating gracefully upon the water andsinging its beautiful melancholic song,dragged its wings in the water andwent home with a cold in the nose(beak). After its successes with Mr.Lange last winter the orchestra hasfallen a long way. —W. R. W.0. J. Jolles DiscussesKarl von ClausewitzWednesday 0. J. Matthijs Jolles,Assistant Professor of German, lec¬tured on the life and ideas of theGerman military strategist, Karl vonClausewitz. Although he admitted thatClausewitz’s theories are consideredof but little value today, Jolles de¬fended the German’s ideas by showinghow it is not his ideas themselveswhich are unsound, but the commonmisinterpretations and misrepresen¬tations of them.Clausewitz lived in Europe duringthe beginning of the nineteenth cen¬tury. He gained practical military ex¬perience in the Napoleonic Wars. Butit was in time of peace, while he helda position in the government, that hewrote his monumental work “OnWar”. In this book Clausewitz reducesstrategy to a system of fundamentalprinciples, abstract in themselves, butapplicable to actual circumstances.

Everyscene is sharplyreminiscent o fthe Flemish per¬iod. The action occurs in the picture-postcard town of Boom in Flanders inthe early seventeenth century. This,then, is the background for one ofthe most charming comedies in cinemahistory. The French, of course, havean incomparable gaiety of spirit un¬equalled by Hollywood productionswith all their millions.In the first scene the general pop¬ulation is preparing for the villagefair, which promises to be a wideopen affair, but is quickly forgottenwhen the arrival of a Spanish Dukeis heralded by a bunch of rowdycavaliers. The portly burgomasterand his aldermen are horrified at theprospect of entertaining the Span¬iards, who had recently conqueredtheir country. Consequently, all themen of Boom town hide out in cellars,while the women, under the leadershipof the burgomaster’s wife (FrancoiseRosay) take the situation in hand.They decide on a collaborationisticattitude to spare the city the imaginedsacking; wining and waltzing the Dukeand his retinue while leaving theirvarious spouses to make conversationwith the unresponsive cockroaches inthe basement. The burgomaster him¬self is so cowed at the thought ofSpaniards in his house that he feignsdeath and arranges himself on a bier.His disgusted wife, Mile. Rosay,flirts with the Duke and seduces himinto fixing her daughter’s marriagewith the man of her choice, Breugelthe painter, over the burgomaster’shead. This gentleman had previouslyworked out some cattle deal with oneof the aldermen in exchange for hisdaughter. The comedy runs merrilyon throughout the various kitchens,dining halls and bedrooms of the may-oral household into a smash climaxat the departure of the Spanish vis¬itors. Mile. Rosay is left gazing ather disappearing paramour, the Duke,and the ending falls there, a littleflat, I fear. But the whole movie isso gay and delightful that it leavesone with a pleasant feeling toward theOld Dutch Masters, “without whosecooperation this picture would havebeen impossible” . . .

Subtle as the lightesttouch of a feather, the picture’s pointis revealed (and none too obviouslythen) only in the last ten minutes ofrunning. It amounts to a chore towatch it.tration.Jolles gave many examples show¬ing how Clausewitz’s theories applyto the present war. For instance, in“On War”, Clausewitz says that sincedefense, while it brings no ^immediateresults, is the easier and less expen¬sive form of war, it is often a goodpolicy to pursue it at the start of awar since it forces the enemy to usethe more expensive method, offense.The defense is even more useful ifone can retreat and make the enemylengthen his supply lines, etc. Then,when the enemy has exhausted hisstrength, you can yourself attack.One has only to look at the Russiancampaign for support of-this theory.

The So¬ciety was formed as a result of thetumultous City Council meetingwhere several hundred women, chil¬dren, and dogs—in patently organiz¬ed sections—crowded into the Cham¬ber ousting several hundred medicalstudents as well as some of the mostdistinguished men of science in thecountry. Befurred society womenblushed when questioned as to thesource of their furs; “Why, we’dNEVER think of making a pet out ofa mink—so why shouldn’t we usetheir furs? Besides, dogs don’t havefurs which can be worn with chic,”tearfully sobbed Irene Hovel O’Brien,spokesman for the anti-vivisectionists.Not since the early 1900’s when or¬ganized forces of ignorance attempt¬ed to prevent hospitals from usingthe barbarous practice of blood trans¬fusion, has Chicago seen such a furor.Constant booing interrupted the plead¬ings of medical men to permit theuse of dogs in experimentation to findcures for various battle wounds anddiseases.The Society has a proposal whichhas met the approval of Mrs. O’Brien,Dr. Bill Hold—reputable member ofthe American Society of AesclepianHypocrites, Mr. Hearse and^yariousother authorities. The Society propos¬es that all prisoners held for deten¬tion at the Cook County jail shouldbe turned over—after a five days wait—^to the editorial offices of a well-known newspaper for extensive ex¬periments on ingrown toenails. Dr.Hold emphasizes that dogs are left inthe pound only because owners wishto have their dogs better fed than athome (in the light of humanity, ofcourse). Dr. Hold declines to be thefirst to accept the honor of offeringhimself to medical research; he states,“As a man of science I can do betterwork on dogs than on humans.”Mr. Hearse in whose editorial offi¬ces untold horrors exist—an exposewill be made soon by one of his dis¬gruntled employees—also declines tobe the first. “No,” he said, “I haveseen the names of too many famousmen dissected, torn apart, and mademud—literally—to wish that it shouldhappen to me.”The slogan of this soon to be wellknown Society is, “What Happens toa Human Should Not Happen to aDog.”U.T.\1131-1133 E. 55th St.Complete Selectionof Beers andOther BeveragesMIDway 0524Blatz BeerTHE CHICAGO MAROONPa9e Fourtudents To Aid FallNDrientation ProgramAn extensive orientation programhas been planned for students enter¬ing the College at all levels in thefall quarter.

FloydReeves, director of the University’srural education project stated thatfederal aid to education is needed toalleviate the existing inequalities inrural areas of high birth rates andof low financial ability.^‘Large numbers of youth who willconstitute much of the future popu¬lation of cities are now being rearedin rural communities that are unableto provide more than the most re¬stricted educational opportunities,”stated Professor Reeves in support ofhis proposal for federal aid to schools.“Those who are now children andyouth will bear the major burden ofthe post-war reconstruction.”Mentioning the history of federalaid to education, he showed that it ispossible without undesirable federalcontrol. Professor Reeves concludedthat unless aid to depressed areas isgiven to more prosperous groups, theeffect on American cmlization and unrepresentative institutions will bedisastrous.Miss Julia Merrill of the AmericanLibrary Association advocated the ex¬tension of state aid to public libraries,declaring that they are educationalagencies, and that the state has a con¬cern for the education of all its citi¬zens. In the nineteen states, one terri¬tory, and five Canadian provinces nowmaking state aid appropriations, thespread of large library units is stim¬ulated, personnel standards are raised,and library service is extended tomany who did not receive it before.FOOTBALLAll interested in playing Varsity competition on an Independentteam contact immediatelyCHAS. McKENNA ^SUPERIOR 9292 “American Universities Decline”Reprinted from ^*HoniFrom the beginning of the war astartling change has taken place inAmerican University education.Events which have taken place inAmerica must serve as a warning toAustralian Universities.In August, 1940, when the UnitedStates were still at peace, Rooseveltwrote a fatherly open letter, publish¬ed in newspapers throughout thecountry, urging students to studyhard, as this was their best contribu¬tion to the national effort.About this time, with big contractsfor war production rolling across theAtlantic, American politicians couldafford to be benignant to the student.The manpower supply line was adjust¬ed to the profit level. Not until De¬cember, 1941, did the tempo move upto meet the needs of “survival.”Americans are famous for their ten¬dency to talk about their so-calledfreedom. One becomes accustomed tothe Andy Hardy type of propagandawhich stresses the “George Washing¬ton sacred legacy” stuff, omitting theDust Bowl vagrancy and the wretchedsmall-town slums. In America theycontinue to cherish the belief that theyare going to be spiritual leaders ofthe next generation. The cant whichthe sentimental conservatives preach¬ed against Bertrancf Russell in NewYork a few years back, reveals theessentially anti-cultural character ofthe “All-American Soul.” Well beforethe war, the only hopeful seeds ofopposition to this small-town philist¬inism resided in the thinking groupsof artists, in the organized and edu¬cated sections of American labor, andin the thinking minorities within uni¬versities and colleges. Naturally, nowthat the war has given the big trum¬pets of American y propagandists achance'to blow, people with radicalremedies are being crowded to thewall. The only student who gets ahearing is the proponent of some pan¬acea (preferably the “Anglo-AmericanWorld Market Trust” type of Pana¬cea). Otto Tod Malleney, in the latestcopy of “International Conciliation,”the organ of the Carnegie Endowmentfor International Peace, examineswhat he calls “six typical plans forpost-war peace.” Nowhere in this isthere any mention of Socialism; amost significant omission in the lightof the British-American-Soviet alli¬ance. Much contemporary communismis itself an over-pretentious type ofoptimistic fanaticism; but it is im¬portant to realize that the war hasAYD to Enlist WorkersFor Local CanvassingMembers of the American Youthfor Democracy have enlisted as in¬dividuals for precinct work betweenquarters within the organization ofthe Student Political Action Commit¬tee. The AYD has formed a commit¬tee, consisting of Jessie Polacheck,Doris Donnelly, Marsha Gold, HermanRubin, Ina Altman and VirginiaKougias to recruit precinct workersand handle local political affairs. Student Newspaper of the University of Sydney (Australia)strengthened the potency of the Bour¬geois-Capitalist form of reference inAmerica so greatly that even the pos¬sibility of post-war Socialism is notto be mentioned!“Since President Roosevelt’s openletter of August, 1940,” wrote thepresident of Miami University in Jan¬uary of last year, “there has beenpractically no public statement fromhigh civil or military authorities urg¬ing students to persist in their educa¬tion.”Along with the silence of the bigworld went the perfectly logical pan¬ic policy of the average universityadministration. “Both men and wom¬en,” announced the University of Cal¬ifornia (with Japan just across thePacific), “shall*take some course re¬lated to the emergency, beginningwith the second semester of the pres¬ent year (1941).” Courses all overthe country were “telescoped,” “ra¬tionalized,” “staggered.” Harvardwent so far as to junk an importantacademic standard and open its grad¬uate schools to those lacking bache¬lor’s degrees. Universities everywherehave taken boys straight from highschools, omitting college courses,driving them helter-skelter throughtheir degrees before they are caughtin the inexorable “draft” at twentyyears of age! This is American uni¬versity education in 1943. The GreatAmerican Democracy, in order to sur¬vive is prepared to let it happen. The“voice of the people”, so colorfullyvicious against the Nazis, is the voiceof Hollywood, not the voice of Benja¬min Franklin. America will survive,but what will happen to her Univer¬sity tradition when her finest “socialscientists” are boys of twenty withtwo years of scholarly retirement be¬fore their liberation into a world ofTERESA DOLANDANCING SCHOOL1208 E. 63rd St. (N*«r WoodUwn Av.)Private lessons $1.50—12 N-!l P.M. dailyLady or Gentleman InstructorsTelephone Hyde Park 3060 torpedoes and sub-machine guns? The“rights of man” will need to live onsomething more substantial than theghost of old Tom Paine.In January of last year, W. H. Cow.ley, president of Hamilton Collegesaid that Harvard had “sold its sou!to ‘researchism’ at the expense of pa.tient and thorough teaching in thehumanities.” He also attacked • thedoctrine of “specialism” and the cus-tom of “impersonalism” in the rela.tions between students and staff.These three great enemies of the uni-versity ideal are rampant throughoutthe States. They reflect a decay latentin the system before the war, nowtragically uncovered by the stressesof society. The Utopians think the“Liberal Arts” in America will some,how “ride the wave.” The sober ob.server predicts submergence.Every country needs a flow ofthinkers and administrators whosetraining is wider than the “experi-'ence” of suburban bookies or of “Wor¬shipful Grand Masters.” The time isoverdue for correction of the curric¬ulum to give the “researcher” andthe “specialist” a notion of their rolesin the total scheme of their society.A compulsory lecture course arrangedby the departments of Languages,Economics, Philosophy, and Psychol¬ogy might be useful as a first step.A manpower stampede will rob theUniversity of its significance as thespearhead of community thought;tradesmen are useful, but the prod-uct of a real university is more thana tradesman.SPIC - N - SPANChef Snrmden^s SpecialtiesBUHERMILK WHEATCAKESFRENCH TOASTFRENCH FRIED SHRIMPOpen 7 e.m.-8 p.m.,except SundayEnjoy Fine Music in Air*Conditioned ComfortBEST SELLERSOF THE WEEKTHE RAZOR'S EDGEW.
