T. ^Actions of ManyYouths WithoutFoundation’-Wicks“Too many young people are stillall out to do something,” stated DeanRobert Wicks of Princeton, speakingbefore Chapel Union last Sundayevening. “But,” he went on, “theydon’t bother to work out a philosophyor to place a foundation beneath theirdeeds.“It is false to think that when youstop being a Believer you become anUnbeliever,” he said, in making adistinction between the religious andirreligious ways of facing the world.Rather, when people stop believingin God, they start believing in man,and, usually, in desperation, in the“biggest” man they see. As ex¬amples Dean Wicks cited the caseof the Romans who substituted theEmperor for their Gods and that ofthe‘Nazis who substituted Hitler. Thetrouble usually resulting arises fromthe fact that these men must be givenpower which, since they are corrup¬tible, they use for evil as well asgood.“Religion”, he continued, “isn’t athing you reason out; it hits you first.One of its main roots is a sense ofwonder; another is the sort of moralcreative power which makes you feelnot good enough. A third is the Jew¬ish discovery that the creative poweris behind the natural world, and a finalone is the appearance of a personto remake people and human nature.“The eternal human predicament”,he concluded, “is that although we livein an inexhaustable universe, we nevercan know or be all we ought to orwant to.”Smith Continues LecturesWith Discussion of AnalogyIn Criticism of MusicContinuing his current series oflectures last Monday night, CecilSmith spoke on “Musical Criticism byAnalogy.” He defined analogy as asimilarity and resemblance betweentwo otherwise unlike objects and as-sr^^rted that analogies originate incomparison after distinctions havebeen made. He then proceeded to dis¬cuss the size of analogies and of an¬alogy within analogy, citing Goethe’s,“Architecture is frozen music.”Mr. Smith then explained the ma¬terials of analogy. He said, “Theeasiest is musical sound comparedwith sounds, in which the ‘Rustle ofSpring’ is likened to the chipmunkspoking their heads out. Then thereis musical experience in terms ofsensory perceptions, as the first move¬ment of Schuman’s ‘Spring Sym¬phony’ feels Jike spring. Analogymay be based on qualities, elementsof arts, or elements which are non-artistic.”In conclusion bad analogies werediscussed. Within this category fallillogical analogies as, Beethoven theman and Beethoven the composer areidentical. Tangential analogies like,“The violinist’s phrases were archedlike a cat’s back,” which immediatelylead the reader into irrelevantthoughts, were condemned.Leon Foidne Studio PresentsIGOR de MELDDANCE STYLISTInstruction In all forms of BallroomDancing: Rumba, Tango, Fox Trot,Waltz, etc.Individual Analysis and PrivateTrial Lesson Free of Charge64 East Jackson Blvd.(Lyon and Healy Bldg.)Suite 409—^Tel.

F.Stone, Washington correspondent forthe Nation Magazine and the news¬paper PM. “Other stumbling blocksare the words ‘sovereignty’ and ‘pri¬vate enterprise’ which are sacred cowsto the American public,” he added.Joining Stone in the discussion wereMarquis Childs, United Feature Syn¬dicate columnist, and Mortimer J.Adler, Professor of the Philosophy ofLaw at the Law School of the Uni¬versity of Chicago.Agreeing with Stone in the use ofsmear words and false issues, thespeakers were also of the consensusthat the candidates are not facing thebasic issues which the American voterhas to decide—the issues of peace andforeign policy and of full employment.Childs said he believed Rooseveltand Dewey were in basic agreement onforeign policy, but there are manyphases which they have not discussed.He said such questions as the powersto be delegated to the American rep¬resentative in the United Nations; theratification by the Senate of treaties;and compulsory military trainingwere issues that had been skirtedAdler maintained that the electionhas become a question of “personali¬ties” rather than “issues.” He de¬plored the fact that the campaign hasbecome a race, not of policy, but ofwho will do the best job of administra¬tion.The Round Table program, spon¬sored by the University, is aired eachweek at 12:30 P.M. and is broadcastfrom Chicago.Naval Trainee Wins%300 ScholarshipRadioman 3rd class, John R.

This wonderful will-o'-the-^ wisp is usually identified in the collegiate mindwith a varsity football team and a Saturdayafternoon phantasy. Since the University hasde-emphasized athletics, and our teams haveleft Big Ten competition, we are dutifully in¬formed by all and sundry that there is no schoolspirit at the University of Chicago.It is entirely within the realm of possibilitythat this frequent conclusion is correct. But tothe person who believes that school spirit canbe found only in the mob hysteria and sorethroats of a football game, in the hip flasks andracoon coats that acocmpany that game, we saythat he either seeks the wrong spirit or looks inthe wrong bottle.Any school spirit that has to depend on ‘*Joe.College" isn't worth possessing. There is toomuch at the University worthy of understand¬ing, respect and affection to warrant any descentto the depths that characterized the college sceneduring the “Roaring Twenties".But more important than the attributes ofthe institution itself, is the attitude of the stu¬dents towards the problem of school spirit. Fun¬damentally, it is their problem since they standto gain by its presence and lose by its absence.It is not, as some students are fond of saying, thefault of the Administration or of the Dean'sOffice or of that amorphous mass called the cam¬pus. On the contrary, it is a matter of concern,as well as action, to each individual student en¬rolled at the University. School spirit cannot becreated out of nothingness or even wishfulthinking.Regarding this desirable school spirit as bothan attitude and an identity, it is not impossibleto demonstrate ways an means to secure both.However, it must be understood that it is thesum total of the individual attitudes and identi¬ties that will make the much sought after schoolspirit.The students in the first two years of theCollege are finding that necessary identity todayas they cast their votes for their class officers;students at other universities have recently donethe same. Why can't the students in the thirdand fourth years of the College do as much?•After all, it is these older students who, as agroup, gripe most about the lack of school spir¬it. Nor does the demonstration stop there. Theclass organization founded by the election ofclass officers and the functioning of class govern¬ment is only the beginning of the process. Fromhere we go on to well integrated and well sup¬ported class activities. The existence of thegroup provides the identity, and the activitywithin the group yields the vital attitude. Un¬der these conditions, the individual benefits bythe sum of the experiences of his fellow studentswith the group. Because of the very nature ofthe University and the activities of studentswithin the University, these experiences and theattitudes derived cannot be other than beneficial.Class organization is not a simple matter ofsitting back and waiting until someone in theDean's Office decides that it shall come into be¬ing. The initiative for class officers and class-sponsored activities has to come from below—from the student himself. When a sufficientnumber of individuals decides that class organ¬izations are necessary and desirable, there willbe such organizations, but not before.The mere fact that people complain aboutthe lack of school spirit is evidence enough thatsteps should be taken to provide the integratingforce necessary to generate that school spirit.The groups usually identified with the upper twoyears of the College have already demonstratedtheir total inability to supply that integration.The only possible answer still awaits the actionof the students alone.

Topic: “Political Theories in theEarly Eighteenth Century.” 7:30 to 9:30 P.M.Student Tea for Presbyterian students at Chapel House, 5810 Woodlawn.Betty StearnsSidelights on Footlights“The Cherry Orchard” Comes tolife.The best theatre that Chicago hasseen since “The Three Sisters” isterminating a disappointingly shortrun of three weeks at the Blackstone.Being no Checkov expert myself, Icouldn’t deny, with any great author¬ity, that “The Cherry Orchard” hasbeen turned into a “rollicking farce,”as some critics have commented. ButI can say, with assurance, that Marg¬aret Webster’s and Carly Wharton’sproduction with Eva Le Gallienneand Joseph Schildkraut is one of fineartistry and brilliant stagecraft.Before going to see a productionof any tradition coated drama, it isnecessary to decide whether one isgoing to see, as in this instance, theoriginal Checkov, or an interpretationof Checkov. In this case a very plaus¬ible and well thought out interpreta¬tion is being presented. In essence,“The Cherry Orchard” is not a com¬edy, and I doubt whether it was in¬tended to be taken as such. But afterall, the long beardeti Checkov lovershave nothing but the text to consultfor their graven image. It is naturalthat every production, after the firstin 1904, must contain certain minorchanges and adaptations. on how you wish to interpret thecharacters. But nevf|rtheless, howmuch more effective the whimsicalspeeches of Leonid and how touchingthe futility of his sister as she leavesto join her lover, whom she knowswill ruin her in the end, when de¬livered with the irony of mixed emo¬tions. The levity far from beinghilarity, was more in the line of agraceful and philosophic swan of thenobility.As played by Miss Le Gallienne,Mme Ranevsky came to life with anespecially lyric quality. The Por¬trayal of the “grand dame,” whosehappiness and youth were being de¬stroyed with her ancestral home, wasmagnificently done . Her brother,played by Joseph Schildkraut, wasrendered with an aristocratic easeand a refined gesticuation which wascharming.The supporting cast did its job ade¬quately, even brilliantly at times, inthe case of Samuel Goldenburg, as thelandowner, and Horace Sinclair, asFirs. However, Hugh Franklin, thestudent, could have been more convinc¬ing; and Leona Roberts (Charlotta)might possibly have changed her char¬acterization to fit in better with thetrend of the play.It has been suggested, also, thatCheckov’s people would not shiftfrom gaiety to despair in such shortintervals as in this 1944 revival. Thejudging of this point again depends Blessed with a new translation andingenous additions in stage business,“The Cherry Orchard,” which couldconceivably be a dreadful bore, isnow a play to remember. Ellen Baum and I^on ShieldsTraveling BazaarMuch as we hate to devote thegreater part of another column to theclub-fraternity evil doings, the cur-rent rushing season just can’t passwithout a few feeble words on thewhole mess this year. Even in pastyears, rushing has been a sordid, bit-ter business that caused many brokenhearts in the freshman class, but lookat it now.. .Though a few people aregoing to be hurt again, it’s a cinchthe freshmen have the upper hand^ ^ this year (at least as far as the clubsare concerned) and fraternity rushing has taken on allthe aspects of the blind leading the blind.Consider the clubs..-We actually have the spectacleof a small (and let’s say precocious) group of freshmendictating to one of the largest and most important clubson campus. There was a time...even as long ago aslast year.. .when the final decision as to who will or willnot be pledged rested with the club. And that’s not all... those of the clubs who have not been dictated to areworried to death about the sort of pledge class they willget...It seems to be a case of taking the queens withthe crocks or taking nothing at all...this has alwaysbeen a pretty familiar phenomenon to the so-called “lit¬tle clubs” but things have come to a pretty pass whenit happens to what is known as the Big Four...Norcan the blame be put on the freshmen.. .the sorry truthof the matter is that the Big Four just doesn’t seem tobe able to cope with the situation. They are either sub¬mitting to the dictation (which is really the most fatalerror so far) or are just sitting around worrying.. .Wethink the worriers will cftme out on top this year.. .butwhatever happens, nobody will be too happy come Pref.Fraternity Rushing has been even more unfortunate.With only four or five fraternities active, you’d thinkthey could be neighborly about it, but never before hasthere been such flagrant and obvious, dirty rushingcarried on by some of the houses... and never before hasInter-Fraternity Council been so passive about it . . .They don’t seem to realize that the entire tottering fra¬ternity system on this campus has been weakened by it.And now to pleasanter topics... Shirley Vanderwalk-er took her oath the other eve and will be headed forWAVE boot training at Hunter College sometime in No¬vember or December.. .Speaking of the feminine branch¬es of the service, SPAR Barb Swett has left Clevelandfor Pharmacist’s Mate school in New York.And did you hear the saxophone at the “C” Daii^eSaturday night...That gentleman as well as the restof the band drowned out any enjoyment of the evening—except of course the eternal Verna Gillman who waslightly tripping over her partners’ feet.. .She even man-agd to get a few laps in (we didn’t say “in a few laps”)chasing the stag line around... Among those presentwere Dick Bowser (Dartmouth ’46) with Pat Golden...(George Hilton also pays for Dartmouth classmates andrelatives—nepotism, you know).Botany Pond still looks as if B&G has been dredgingthe bottom of the Pond for freshman bodies... Algae isstill discouraged though and refuses to put in an appear¬ance... A visitor to the University last Friday after¬noon looked at the brawl and promptly swore never tolet Junior attend Hutchins’s Nursfery.. .It seems theblackface act was too reminiscent of Blackfriars...Another visitor to the University felt sorry for thesquirrels, the ones with the ratty tails, and proceeded tofeed the weaker looking specimens doses of vitamin pills... That may explain the flying squirrels.Ernie Fitz Hugh has finally left us.. .At a large blow¬out at the Boulevard Room last week his engagementto Ann Kronquist was announced... Helen Tyler is be¬ing married to Nick Pariesi this month...Mary LouWilbur’s engagement to Earl Bromstedt was announcedrecently . . . Ruth Chapin got her ring from ErnieKlemme . . . With our own four eyes we’ve seentwo scooter bikes careening dizzily around the circle—better a scooter bike than a tricycle... Rumor has itthat Sue Barbour is kicking up her heels in New York asa chorine in the “Merry Widow.”A retraction seems to be called for on the Jack Welch-Ina Cantacuzene pin story of last week...The informa¬tion we received about their breaking up was wrongand as soon as we find the dirty dog who steered uswrong we’re going to grind her fingers off in the pencilsharpener.. .Incidentally, there are a few other misin¬formed and misinforming informants who gave us a“scoop”—we wish to state finally once and for allHutchins was NOT thrown in the Botany Pond by theSenate.tWe wish to enlighten young freshman men how tobecome true Chicago men... There’s an old hoary storyabout how the Yale man walks into a room as if he ownsit, the Harvard man strolls in as if he doesn’t care whoowns it, while the Chicago man strides in and begins re¬arranging the furniture. '0Further Success Seen As*U. of C,Round Table Nears 14th YearWhen you hear the tone beat, the time will be thirteen year.Yes, it^s a big round 13 for the University of Chicago RoundTable which has been interpreting and analysing major issuessince February 1931, making it nearly as old as the radio businessitself. Since it is the oldest educational program on the air, thefirst scriptless programs on the air with a listening audience of8 to 10 million, it is entitled to a bit of attention. An infant 13years ago it's a big program todOriginally planned by Professor T. THE CHICAGO MAROON —■ ' ' — — Page FiveAbe KrashDisa "N' DataThe old hue and cry of Communism, that bogey word that is freely bandiedabout at the faint<»t scent of liberalism, burst from the pens and throats ofmore than one University of Chicago critic last week when press associationwires tapped out the story that a Soviet Russia red flag was spanking in thebreezes from the main flagpole of the quadrangle.The University’s politically-alive student body might well blush, not withthe “pink” tinge of Communism, however, for the real inside story was thatChicago’s political drums have been virtually stilled, and this is an electionyear. The political setup on the campus presents to the cursory observer astrange and startling paradox: politically-conscious students of every credo,yet three comparatively weak political organizations. Of the University’s6000 enrollment, fewer than 150 have allied themselves with the SocialistClub, the Labor Rights Society, or the American Youth for Democracy.Politics on an American university has always presented that paradox,but not in the exaggerated degree of Chicago, always branded as a poUtically-active institution. European student bodies have not only been intellectuallyinterested but have been active partisans in every political movement that hasswept the Old World. In many cases the students themselves first kindled theflames of revolution, fanned them on, and then saw them executed with devas>tating effect.Any organization of ten members or more which does not represent anyAmerican political party may function on the campus. Hence the Socialists,while agreeing virtually to the letter of the Socialist platform, are not in thestrict sense of the word affiliated with the American Socialist Party. Similarly,the Labor Rights and its hard-hitting right arm, the Student Political ActionCommittee, while subscribing to the Democratic party and New Deal meas¬ures, denies heatedly that it has any hookup with the Roosevelt-Truman ticket.The Socialists, piloted largely by Maynard Krueger of the Economics De¬partment, a former candidate for vice-president on the Socialist ticket, andoft-time political aspirant, are primarily an educational group, whose mem¬bership is open to all interested students. The organization on this campus,oldest political group on the Chicago quadrangles, is an outgrowth of the once-famous Student League for Industrial Democracy, originally backed by suchpseudo-liberals as Upton Sinclair and Jack London. The Socialists are rela¬tively inactive in this campaign, since their Norman Thomas-DarlingtonHoopes ticket, is not on the presidential ballot in Illinois. Requirements forplacing names on the ballot were too stringent for the Socialists to meet, andthey are confinng their electioneering to pleas for write-in tallies.Labor Rights Society had its inception in Montgomery Ward’s unionsquabble with Sewell Avery a year ago. At that time the group aided thestrikers in the picket lines, attempted to increase the striker’s strong boxwith donations, and st up a canteen to serve the striking employees. Pur¬pose of the group has been study and action in labor problems. RheinhardBendix of the faculty is serving in an advisory capacity.When the CIO formulated its PAC, the Labor Rights Society had growingpains and soon reached the expectancy stage. The infant was the SPAC (Stu¬dent Political Action Committee, campaigning largely for the Democraticticket. It remains the most powerful active group on the campus.The AYD’s are an offshoot of the Young Communists. While they em¬brace many Communist doctrines in the main, it is a Communism noteworthyin its separation from the legendary wide-eyed, long-haired anarchist brand.It is distingiushed by its liberal tendencies and it is also highly debatablewhether any group which believes in free enterprise as the Communist Partyin America now, does belong in the same class with the AYD.Those three groups, whose membership rolls show less than 50 partici¬pants each, with a large number of overlapping members, comprise “politicallyred hot” U. of C.

Democratic histories call himGeorge III, but we have docked him60% for being a halfwit. George V/zwas so half-witted that he disapprovedof the American custom of drinkingtea with lemon. He, therefore, orderedthat tea must be sent into Bostonunaccompanied by lemon. The Bos¬tonians, thinking that salt watermight be a substitute for lemon juice,held a golf game (The Boston TeeParty), after which they tried to mixtea with the ocean water. George V/zthought that this was nauseating, anddecreed that the Americans were re¬volting, thus causing the AmericanRevolution.Simultaneously, he issued severaledicts which have become Famous NoEnd In American History:1. No more tea could be dissolvedin Boston Harbor. (The InsolubleActs.)2. No Bostonian could, as a dis¬play of contempt, jump on or stampon tea in public. (The Stamp Act.)3. All Bostonians over 66 should re¬ceive tea free. (The Townshend Act.)Because further tee parties wereoutlawed, the Bostonians turned fromrecreation to shooting dice on Bos¬ton Common. This caused George V/zto send the famous message to LordNorth, his Prime Minister, that “thedie is cast.” It also caused BostonCommon to be a traditional groundfor crap games until the coming ofCalvin Coolidge,The first action of the Revolutionw^ the Boston Massacre, in which agroup of peaceful New England ladswas massacred by a bunch of foreign¬ers. This did not happen again un¬til the Notre Dame-Dartmouth gameof 1944.The next battle was fought on a ay.Nies-Berger AdagioMost SatisfactoryEouard Nies-Berger, organist of theNew York Philharmonic Symphony,presented a recital at Rockefeller Me¬morial Chapel last Tuesday evening,October 17. His program was dividedinto two sections; the music of Bachand Franck, and the music of five con¬temporary American composers.Nies-berger, realizing the effective¬ness of opening a recital with a Bachwork, chose the Toccata, Adagio, andFugue in C Major. The first sectionof the Toccata suffered from unsteadytempo and faulty phrasing. This, how¬ever, is an excusable mistake, for anyorganist at his first encounter withthe tricky acoustics of RockefellerChapel. Nies-Berger quickly realizedhis difficulties for the remainder ofhis program had no traces of lack ofprecision.The second portion of the Bachwork, the Adagio, was the most satis¬fying selection of the entire recital.Its quiet, peaceful theme was realizedby the interpreter.golf course near Boston, known asBunker Hill, scene of the Boston TeeParty. The difficulties the Americansfaced are easily seen upon a visit tothe battleground. In the center is alarge white obelisk, not unlike theWashington Monument, which musthave obscured the Americans’ visionterribly.The British won the Battle ofBunker Hill by unfair means. Theprevious night, the British troops inBoston were awaiting their comman¬der, General Howe, when one soldierspied the general. He cried out, nat¬urally, “Here’s Howe!” upon whichthe troops immediately rememberedthe neighborhood tavern and ad¬journed for the evening. The nextday their eyes were so bloodshot thatthe Americans, who were looking forthe whites, could not fire.In all the battles of the War, wewere hampered by the fact that theAmerican troops were midgets (min¬ute men). We were able to defeatthe British finally only by the use ofthe secret weapon of the Americans,a gun which could fire a shot aroundthe world. This inhuman gun wascalled the Blunder Bus. The BlunderBus was later replaced by the Boyles-ton Street Subway, by all odds themost inhuman invention of all time.The Blunder Bus caused many Brit¬ish lives to be lost in the War. Somuch British blood was spilled thatat the end of the War, Lord Northremarked, “My God, it is all over.”Documentary Film to ShowBoys* Choir In German MovieFeaturing the famous “ViennaBoys’ Choir” of 80 voices with amusical background provided by theVienna Philharmonic Orchestra, “AnOrphan Boy in Vienna” will be shownTuesday, October 24 in Social Science122 by the Documentary Film Group. Quality FoundIn Negro Art“Homage to Giotto” by Charles SebreeBy Mary MoranI think there is an unconscious ex-tpectation of a quality recognizable asNegroid in an all Negro art exhibit,some repetition of a Porgy and Bessidea. Since this could be nothing buta literary embellishment found in thesubject matter and not a valid indica¬tion of aesthetic integrity, I was de¬lighted to find this was not true.That which stood out, then, in the“New Names in American Art Exhib¬it” at Goodspeed Hall was no such con¬sistency of subject matter of senti¬mental appeal, but an approach alongthe lines of the more sound, progres¬sive modem painters (such men asPaul Klee and Picasso). In this het¬erogeneous group of paintings andsculpture, concern with subject mat¬ter, emotional appeal, and sterileacademicism are practically non-ex-istant.To my mind the most outstandingpainting is “Musicians” by NormanLewis. All plastic components of thepainting, color, quality and pattern,linear pattern, composition (mass andspace) work toward the effect of subtletragedy, and work in such a way thatno one of them is overshadowed by an¬other. The most amazing feature ofthe painting is the moving, neon qual¬ity of color. In short, although theliterary implications of the work arebrought forcibly to mind, the meansemployed are sound aesthetic me^nssuch as those found in “Mob Victim”by Lois Jones.Notable among the few pieces ofsculpture is “The Hippo” by SergeantJones, the emphasis being first onmass composition, second on surfacedecoration or drawing. This empha¬sis is found in the work of certainAfrican tribes, the Baule in particu¬lar, and in the works of Zadkine andArchipenko, two of our most import¬ant modern sculptors.Other notable works are paintings:“Protection” by Elizabeth Callett;“The Bather,” by Eldzier Carter;William Johnson’s “Christmas”; Jos¬eph Delaney’s “East River”; BeaufordDelaney’s “Othello”; “The GarbageMan,” by John Diggers, and a sculp¬ture by Elizabeth Callett, “Head.”U. of C. Enrollment Up,5090 Students On CampusCivilian enrollment at the univer¬sity is 6090, as compared with 4615last October.Of the new students enrolled in theuniversity, S2 are veterans of thiswar, many studying under the “G.I.Bill of Rights” fund.Although there is a 12.7 percentincrease in the number of students,the number of men in the Navy V-12,meteorology, ASTP, and edical unitcourses has dropped from 1664 to 394.Announcing these statistics. Regis¬trar Ernest C. Miller also pointed outthat a greater number of studentsthan had been anticipated returned inthe upper years of the College. Judy DownsServin' It HotThe Duke’s recent stay at theDowntown Theater suffered the evilsof the stage show presentation, and onthe whole did not bear up to standardsof former days. Opening the reviewwas a thriller-diller called “MainStem”, featuring some very meaning¬less and noisy efforts from the trum¬pet section with William Anderson do¬ing the most outstanding shrieking.A pretty chick named Rosetta Davissang “Take the A Train” and “Rocksin My Bed” with an almost incompre¬hensible lack of jazz feeling (but withbeautiful background work from theband, especially on rocks. Rex Stew¬art’s antics on “Amor” were terrificshowmanship, delightful humor, andterrible music.On the decidedly brighter side ofthe picture was Johnny Hodges poig¬nant and ever-appealing “WarmValley”, coupled with an untitled bluesfeaturing there fine, typically whim¬sical choruses from “Trickey” SamNanton. Another point of the showwas the ten minute jam of “Frankieand Johnny”, constructed aroundDuke’s piano with an interpretationthat took those two celebrated loversfrom the bar room to the Metropolitanto Lenox Avenue. Most unusual anddelightful to my mind was Duke’s“honky tonk” chorus. Definitely onthe asset side too is Duke’s male chirpie, A1 Hibbler. Mr. Hibbler de¬livers such substantial pops as “Don’tGet Around Much Any More” and “I(lot It Bad”, with a richness of range,voice timbre, and tone control, andwith such a uniqueness of phrasingas to be pleasing in an almost start¬ling manner.This sifribe found the effervescentDuke in good spirits, seemingly un¬conscious of rumors of disintegrationof the band. Nor was he phased whenbroached on the subject of his highlypublicized “Black, Brown and Beige”symphony, soundly panned by critics(with the exception of Down Beat’sFrank Stacey who recorded the com¬plete concert and assures us it takesrepeated hearings to grasp the fullimpact of the complex ideas set forth).Of B B and B, Duke says with simpleeloquence, “We had astory to tell.We played the records over after¬wards, and we all felt we had saidwhat we watned to say.” He feelsthat the poor reception of the workwas the unreparedness of the audi¬ence; that a fuller interpretation orexplanation by a narrator would havebrought orchestra and audience incloser harmony. “The boys and my¬self felt so clearly among ourselveswhat we had to say, we took it forgranted the audience would under¬stand us.”—R.

THE CHICAGO MAROONFoldi InitiatesOperatic CareerAt Kimball HallBy Roger EnglanderLast Sunday afternoon marked theoperatic debut of Andrew Foldi, asenior in the College and a memberof the Fine Arts Opera Company ofChicago. Enacting two roles, thoseof Coppelius and Doctor Miracle, inthe Offenbach opera. The Tales ofHoffman, basso Foldi provided theKimball Hall audience with the ar¬tistic highpoint of the afternoon.The role of Coppelius is a thank¬less bit part, giving the performerno chance for the vocal spotlight.Doctor Miracle, on the other hand, isin the center of things throughoutthe final act. Foldi's characterizationwas a treat to behold. As a wickedmagician with all the supernaturalpowers at his command, Foldi wasnever led to overwork his magictricks.The richest part of the Offenbachscore is the final trio, Tu ne chanterasplus, sung by Doctor Miracle, Antonia,and her mother. Hearing this thirdact trio would have been ample re¬ward for attending the performance.Since a large part of the cast wasunder twenty years of age, Offen¬bach’s romantic story and gay musicwas well in their grasp.University Rifle "Whites"Bow to Commonwealth EdisonThe University “White” rifle teamwas defeated Wednesday night by ateam from Commonwealth Edison, bya score of 342 to 88.

From thevery beginning we have spared no expense to maintain its position of pre-enfinencein Chicago and in the world of theaters.Recently we spent upwards of $125,000 for redecorating, complete re¬seating, a new front and new air-conditioning that embodies all the latest refinementsand,advancements; so that today the Tivoli remains just as modem, just as inviting,as the day it opened.The Tivoli is sentimentally dear to us—-rich in tradition, achievement andmemories—for it is the theater that cradled the dreams, the hopes and aspirationsfrom which came the success of our company.So let’s have done with these false and idiotic rumors!We —and none else —own and operate the Tivoli; and we in¬tend to maintain its post and present high standards.

The score came in the lastpart of the second half when StanLevine, the Ho-Dag quarterback,caught a pass from Johnny O’Dell onthe five-yard line and raced acrossthe goal line for the score. The onlyscoring threat by the 600’s was atouchdown made on an end run thatresulted from the confusion of severaloff-side players. The T.D. was sub¬sequently called back.This was sweet revenge for the 700Entry.
