/•-‘tv h^'Wf-^'CHICAGO - .::iVol. 4, No. 18 Z-149 Friday, November'S, 1944 Price Five CentsThe Road To DemocracyUntil now, the Chicago Maroon has avoided taking a standin the coming election. Realizing there were differences ofopinion here at the University, we felt it our duty to stay outof partisan politics.However, the issue is no longer a partisan one. This electionwill determine the future of America, both nationally andinternationally. On November 7 the people will make theirdecision: whether America is to be a guiding force on the longroad to peace among nations or whether she is to enter a councilof nations with all its power deleted by a chauvinistic group—whether America is to have a flexible economy which can meetthe changing conditions of a post war world or whether a militantplutocracy will be allowed to assume power to its own advantage.We have waited and listened to the speeches of all candidates.We have made our decision:The President has not cahipaigned in the usual sense. Hehas met the problems with facts and specific plans. Our comicbook hero, on the other hand, has indorsed everything and nothingunder his sweeping generalizations. He has even satisfied allthe cliques that hang under the elephant. He has satisfiedGerald L. K. Smith, Gerald Nye, John L. Lewis, Bertie MacCor-mick, Willy Hearst, Joe Martin, and Arthur Vandenburg. Hehasn’t satisfied Joe Ball, and he hasn’t satisfied us either.Shortly after the Republican convention, this paper expressedthe hope that Young Tom would not indulge in a negativisticcampaign. But ex-Bund Lawyer Ed Jaeckle counselled him againas he did in the gubernatorial campaign. Every issue but theissue was discussed and never a fringe missed.Taking a line from Bertie and Willy, he has continually linkedSidney Hillman with the Communists although the facts allowno such allegation. Tom, Berty, and Willy apparently have nofaith in democracy for they see it as an easy toss for a fewcommunists. But then, they have good reason to fear this group.The Communists did burn the Reichstag. No less an authoritythan Adolph Hitler backs up this statement.American voters will not fall for false issues and emptyrhetoric. Their faith in democracy will not be shaken by thecry **Red Wolf”. They will help Tom keep his promise to thepeople of the Empire State. They will allow him to serve outhis term as Governor of New York.Bromfield’s Followers ShoutDown Students at Dewey RallyHighlighted by hooting, cat-callingand hissing, Louis Bromfield, authorand farmer, spoke to a packed Man-del Hall last Wednesday on “FreeDemocracy Demands a Change ofAdministration.”The temper and opinion of theaudience, made up of elderly anddignified appearing Republicans,plus a scattering of University stu-Desiring Daisies Darn''"or Duds and ComeTo Dog patch DanceGirls, get yore men for the SadieHawkins dance, to be held Friday, No¬vember 10, from 8:30 to 11:30 p.m.in Ida Noyes Theatre.

PresidentRoosevelt. Mr. Bromfield went on tosay that the gains of the past twelveyears, the reforms made in thiscountry, would have been enacted “inspite of Mr. Roosevelt”, and that theAmerican people would not tolerateMr. Roosevelt's attempt to mix “to¬talitarianism with democracy”.Ending his speech on an optimisticnote, Mr. Bromfield said that thecandidate he was supporting, Mr.Dewey, was a man whose “head con¬trols his heart”, and that under Mr.Dewey’s administration the countrycould wipe out the harm done byPresident Roosevelt.

Study of ProblemNext Step AfterParley Last NightWomen in the third and fourthyears of the College living in Uni¬versity dormitories will have the op¬portunity to draw up their own rulesconcerning hours, as a result of ameeting held last night in Ida NoyesTheater for all residents of Beecher,Blake, Gates and Green Halls, thedormitories concerned. The standardsthey set up will be put into operationby the University, at least for a trialperiod, provided they correspond tothe minimum of regulation the Deanof Students office feels necessary.The meeting was called to discuss theopinion, which had been held by manyof the women that hour regulations,imposed by the University this quar¬ter for the first time in its history,should be removed.In making the offer. Dean Law¬rence A. Kimpton, who presided atthe meeting, emphasized that the Ad¬ministration has no desire to act aswatchdog over its students. He point¬ed out that the University was influ¬enced to impose hours by certainproblems which have become increas¬ingly serious in recent years. Amongthese he cited the deterioration of theneighborhood surrounding the uni¬versity, the increase of inter-racialtension in that neighborhood, theprobable emotional instability of atleast some of the servicemen whowill return to civilian life in the nearfuture, and the necessity for protect¬ing the College program, still in itsinfancy, from any preventable scan¬dal. Nevertheless, Dean Kimpton stat¬ed, the University will consider anyproposal made by the girls concern¬ed, even a proposal for the removalof hour restrictions, although hemade it clear that the Administrationfeels some sort of regulation neces¬sary. The present restrictions will re¬main in force until the new standardsare agreed upon by the Dean's officeand the dormitory residents.In an open discussion following Mr.Kimpton’s explanation, varyingshades of opinion were expresed byJean Gatewood, Sylvia Slade, Ann(Continued on page three)Calvert Club’s ChilderleyWeekend Slated for Nov. 10The peak event of the year for the:!alvert Club, the Childerley week¬end, begins next Friday evening.

THE CHICAGO MAROONSmith DiscussesMusical CriticismAs Social Science“Musical Criticism as a SocialScience” was Cecil Smith’s topic lastMonday evening. He divided his topicinto four parts: anthropology, psy¬chology, sociology, and education. Dis¬cussing the topics in this order, hepointed out that anthropology isstudied for primitive music, its finalcause and purpose. In primitive so¬cieties music is used largely for com¬munication, as an aid to labor, and asa ritualistic accompaniment. Anthro¬pology may also be studied for thelight it sheds on other customs.The psychology of music rests pri¬marily upon investigation of humanbeings in relation to music. Mr. Smithaserted, “Here you have the spectacleof carefully devised, controlled testsemploying the most heterogenous massof materials which are not sufficientlyclassified and are completely unintel¬ligible to the individual doing thetesting. Pyschological tests,” he con¬cluded, “should be applied only to mat¬ters which can be precisely measured.Psychology can’t explain in scientificterms why Mozart’s ‘G Minor Sym¬phony’ is a better piece of music thanVictor Herbert’s *Ah Sweet Mysteryof Life.’ ”Under the heading of sociology, Mr.Smith pointed out that music can beconsidered as a function of an insti¬tution or as an institution itself. Musiccan be considered in the institutionalsetting of its time. Here one studiesmusic as a manifestation of the out¬look of a society. Education has hadmany arguments as to what should betaught and to whom. “The democraticgoal is to teach as much music as pos¬sible to as many as possible, regardlessof receptivity,” he pointed out.C.

Youthful GangAttacks BoysEarly Wednesday morning two menstudents of the College of the Uni¬versity were attacked within shout¬ing distance of the Midway by sixyouths between the ages of sixteenand seventeen.The two students, both residents ofBurton Court, were going to one ofthe various restaurants in the vicin¬ity of 60th and Kenwood streets,when they were approached by ayoung boy of medium height whoasked them for a cigarette. Fiveothers appeared and a general brawltook place. One of the students es¬caped and ran towards Burton Courtwhere he rounded up four other stu¬dents who returned with him to thescene of the fight. When he re¬turned the student told them that hehad been thrown to the ground andkicked in the face and stomach sever¬al times after the attackers had tak¬en his wallet. The wallet, he stated,had contained approximately two dol¬lars. The student who had escapedhad thirty dollars on his person.The six students then spread outand headed toward the Midway, thegeneral direction in which the thugshad disappeared.Four of the youths were found near65th and Lake Park streets. They de¬nied being involved in the affair af¬ter being identified by both of themen who had been attacked. Beforeanother fight occurred a policemanappeared and the full story was toldto him. He called the patrol wagonand all ten took a ride to the 63rdStreet Police Station, where theyouths admitted the crime.Less than a dollar and a quarterwas recovered, but no charges werepressed. The parents of all the youth¬ful adventurers were called.Church Groups FetedBy Methodist LeagueAll the Interchurch groups wereentertained last Tuesday evening ata costume party given by the Metho¬dist Student League. Shirley Ander¬son, president of the League, andLainie Posner were in charge of thegames which included bobbing forApples and other Hallowe’en stand-jbys.

Ball Warns AgainstElecting IsolationistCandidates on ]Vo». 7Speaking on last Sunday’s RoundTable Discussion were RepublicanSenator Joseph Ball from Minnesota*Herbert Feis, former economic adviserto the Department of State; PittmanPotter, Professor of Political Scienceat the American University; and T.Walter Johnson of the Department ofHistory of the University. Their topicwas “What Did Dumbarton Oaks Ac¬complish?”. Senator Ball emphasizedthat if isolationist candidittes areelected, the Dumbarton Oaks proposalswill meet heavy resistance in the Sen-ate. Senator Ball, bolted his partylast week to support President Roos¬evelt’s fourth term.“The complexion of the next Senateand what happens in the whole elec¬tion on November 7 may detenninewhether we win the war or not,” saidBall.Ball stated that the DumbartonOaks proposals embody the power toact against aggressors and to settledisputes expediently. This power, hepointed out, was lacking in the Leagueof Nations.“This is not a final document,” headded, “and it is far from perfect. Wehope that improvements will be made.But it seems to me that when we havedone the best we can as a nation toget those improvements, the UnitedStates will be faced with two al¬ternatives: we either join this or¬ganization, try to make it work, andtry to perfect it, or we don’t join it,and we let the world drift back intoisolationism, nationalism, and almostinevitably into another great war.”Election of OfficersAnd Coming EventsAnnounced by WAAThis year’s W.

McMahon accused Deweyof stooping lower than he thought pos¬sible in American politics by usingthe Nazi technique of grandiose lies,these being psychologically easier toswallow than small mis-statements.From off-campus came WillardTownsend of the Transport ServiceEmployes Union and Frank McCul¬loch of the Union for Democratic Ac¬tion.

Amember or chairman of all its im-|>ortant committees, he worked hardand effectively in administration ofthe city’s essential services.As a Congressman, Mr. Rowanvoted for all the acts which imple¬mented our foreign policy. He sup¬ported the legislation for price con¬trol; he voted against the Smith-Connally Act, and other anti-laborlegislation. He had the courage tovote against the appropriation forthe Dies Committee and he was aleader in the fight against the Con¬gressional majority which forced theresignation of Robert Morss Lovettas assistant to the governor of theVirgin Islands. Mr. Rowan’s recordis clear and progressive; in everyway it is a record reflecting intelli¬gence and conviction.Because the action taken in thenext Congress will have great bear¬ing on the future of the country, itis important that a Congressman ofMr. Rowan’s ability and principlesbe re-elected.

This filmmakes a basic study of the genesis ofa dying village and attempts to por¬tray a fundamental moral problem ofmen and women.

But Wednesdayevening, in Leon Mandel Hall, at our friend“Louie's” sermon, there was nothing mysteriousthat would produce ordinary fright, and nogreat physical force that would incite ordinaryfear. But there occured there, at a meeting ofold men and doddering women, that which shouldgive genuine and dreadful apprehension to everythinking student at the University.When a handful of students in a room packedwith almost fanatical zealots arose to offer per¬tinent questions to the speaker, they were hissed,booed, and shouted down. The vicious cry of“Jew”, “Communist”, and the question “Whyaren't you in the army”, came from the audiencewith hysterical fury. This was the same aud¬ience who had applauded the pompous speechby Ohio's Finest Farmer pleading for the “Am¬erican Tradition” and “Democracy”. If one mayjudge a speaker's motives by the actions of hisfaithful listeners, then Mr. Bromfield is defin¬itely at home in his new Republican hang-out.The questions of who are the Women Vol¬unteers For Dewey and why they were per¬mitted to appear on the campus are still un¬answered. They are, however, unimportantquestions when their actions are examined. Thedisgrace to the campus is forcibly shoved tothe background when one sees and hears andfeels the horror of being present at one of therevivalist meetings of homegrown Midwesternfacists.Dormitory HoursDuring the past few weeks, third and fourthyear women living on campus have been mutter¬ing darkly about the injustice of the newly im¬posed dormitory hour regulations. Some, espec¬ially the older women who were on campus whenthere were no restrictions, have been adamantin their insistence that there should be no cur¬few of any description; while others felt thatthe regulations were too severe, or were notenforced in any equitable and consistent manner.No matter what the attitude of the individualwomen may be towards dormitory, hour limits,there are certain principles governing such reg¬ulations which must be clearly understood. Al¬though most of the girls believe that they arefully capable of taking care of themselves with¬out University assistance, they must appreciatethe inescapable fact that the University possessescertain moral and legal obligations regardingthe welfare of students living on campus. Furth¬ermore, we must be realistic enough to realizethat we are not living in a utopia or an idealneighborhood. In many cases, unhealthy andeven dangerous situations occur without thevolition of any student. However, they do andthey can continue to occur.It is to prevent these situations that hourlyregulations are imposed, not, as some peopleprefer to think, that the University arbitrarilydesires to control or limit the activities of itsstudents.We recommend that a new and uniform sched¬ule of hour limits be drawn up by the varioushouse committees to be presented to the Deanfor approval. We do not believe that thereshould be any extension of mid-week hours.We feel that a maximum number of late hourpermissions should be established for each quar¬ter which can be utilized at the individual's dis-cretidn. Finally, the rigid enforcement of thepreviously agreed upon regulations should comeunder the responsibility of the women, them¬selves, through their own house committees.

She has been “sent” bythe place ever since. One of the rea¬sons being the presence of one Rob¬ert Maynard Hutchins.Her career on campus began whenshe won the Carillon Poetry Prize inJune 1943. Since then she has groundout a story and an article for thatliterary magazine. At present sheis writing “Servin’ It Hot” for theMaroon^ and is serving time as aWyvem pledge.Judy’s ambition is to be a socio¬logist specializing in race relations.She believes that through this me¬dium everyone can realize the “NewWorld A-Comin’”, and she hopes tobe able to make an active contribu¬ tion toward this end.Furthermore, her interest in thearts are another means to this end.She is the publisher and editor ofJazz Quarterly, a national magazinedevoted to the appreciation and un¬derstanding of jazz, and a partici¬pating member of National JazzFoundation. To bring things closerto home, she is organizing a “HotClub” for jazz lovers on campus.This vivacious magnolia of theSouth, in addition to these intellectualaccomplishments, plays a hot barrel-house piano accompanied by her bluessinging, and is both a buddingballet pupil and an accomplished jit¬terbug. She sketches as a hobby.■ Judy’s preferences in men run to thetall, dark, and terrific—her secretpassion, besides the prexy, is TurhanBey. (Lana Turner, take heed!)Then there is her mysterious Psi Udate to the I-P Ball. Aha!All this and sociology, too. Judy’scomment to this is “I want to bewell rounded.” Traveling BazaarThe biggest news of the week con-cerns the formation of a new fra.ternity ... or rather the establishmentof a new chapter on campus.Alpha Beta Chi was founded aboutthree or four years ago at the Univer-sity of Puerto Rico and has six activechapters in the United States andLatin America. It is the first trulyinternational fraternity to be organ-ized, and one of its major purposes isthe development of international fel-lowship through the fraternal medium.Here at Chicago the chapter of A.B.C. has already beenrecognized by the Dean’s office and has thirty membersfrom twenty different countries. ... It was organizedby Ricardo Alegria of Puerto Rico (who is now presidentof the chapter) and Agnar Borgesson from Iceland (thevice-president). . . . The campus has a real need for anorganization of this sort and we happily look forwardto its great success. . . . Whether or not this group willseek Inter-Fraternity Council recognition remains a ques¬tion . . . but if they should (and it’s logical to assumethey will) it will be interesting to see the reaction of theCouncil in view of the sorry spectacle of several yearsago when Kappa Alpha Psi (a Negro fraternity) wasrefused admission on the flimsiest of pretexts. ... Wehope the Council will not repeat past mistakes.Ugly rumors are rounding the campus concerning thepossible legal repercussions resulting from the recenttrouble between two students on campus and the Depart¬ment of Buildings and Grounds. ... It seems that thetwo students were not only accosted by B & G minionsbut also beaten by them. . . . One of the kids ended upin Billings and the other is muttering* darkly of startingsuit. ... It makes no difference to the campus whetheror not the students were up to horseplay (which theydeny) . . . the fact remains that the B & G men havetaken to slapping the students around, and we don’t likeit. The students don’t think the courts will either.Speaking of new clubs, hardened clubwomen lastweek received a slight shock when they looked over thepledge lists and discovered a new group. . . . Bazaarthis week wishes to enlighten them. . . . None other thanthe famed Verna Gillman is the president of Alpha SigmaSigma, a small group formed in the dark comers of IntHouse. . . . The club, which is much the same as all otherwomen’s secret societies, has a complete social programplanned for the fall and winter quarters—among partiesscheduled is one for the medical corpsmen up at GreatLakes. . . . Incidentally, TWO of the club’s members havedresses just like Verna’s purple passion job.Fijis threw out the welcome mat last Friday nightand threw a party that overflowed the house. ... It wasa howling success—even the actives admitted the lowlypledges had good taste in wimmin.... In case the rumor-spreaders are interested, the rumor of no liquor was false(have you ever seen one that wasn’t?).Little children weren’t the only ones who had lots offun on Hallowe’en. . . . Large arrows were painted onthe sidewalks all leading to Foster Hall where largecaptions announced, “Get your girls here—Foster girlsare the best girls! ” . . . Our pet gargoyle sported a largered nightcap. ... A few teachers tell of visits ofcommunist-inclined students who demanded, “Share thewealth”. A rather unusual Hallowe’en party started outat Tricia Murphy's house, somehow got involved withchopsticks in Chinatown, and ended the evening tellingghost stories (that’s their story) in the tower dovim onthe promontory. . . . Among the party were JeanneSchlageter, Mary Wong, Judy Dovms, Barry Nathan, andseveral others. . . . Unfortunately George Hilton didn’tdo any more frightening than usual, so we can’t sayanything about his Hallowe’en doings.Burton Court's 600 entry had an immense blowoutSaturday night... it was held at Ida, in nite club style,with music by Marty O’Donnell’s band. . . . Ann Brownscored a big hit as torch-singer, especially with a parodyon “Let’s Do It.” Charlie Lippitz, comedian Leo Dardar-ian, magician Alan Boulton, and M.C. Charles Einsteinwere also well applauded.Pi Belt entertained Saturday night, with a Hallowe’enparty in Flossmoor.Aside from President Roosevelt (put that brick down,George!), the most amazing sight at Soldiers Field Sat¬urday was that of John Harmon trying to outshout Mr.Arthur Friedman of the Humanities faculty in praise ofthe President. . . . Ginny Banning (now somebody elseas far as last names go ... we think it’s Kenny) is intown and is expecting a baby in December . . . either aboy or a girl, she thinks. . . . Jane Moran, too, has beenseen in the Loop but not on campus as yet. . . . SarahGoodell is going home this week to see her man. . .. Andin the line of men, Mary Ann Thomas is beaming—herswas just in. . . . Chapel Union's outing last week-endturned up all sort of original things; bundling, for ex¬ample, is rumored to have been revived.A Guide To The BefuddledG«orf« HiltonThe student will remember that in Chapter V we saw GeorgeWashington fighting the most difficult battle wartime has everproduced, the search for a room in a Philadelphia hotel.Because Washington had to leavePhiladelphia to walk along the route Pa9« RvaBook StuffItem Clipped From"Northwestern Daily''To the Editor;During the performance of the play“The Male Animal” last night theentire audience was laughing hyster¬ically at the antics of a group on amidwestern university campus whosuspected anyone and everyone of be¬ing communistic. There were alsosome very applicable lines in the scriptabout schools where everyone beginsto be afraid when the students or thefaculty do a little honest thinkingbecause they might encourage somewrong ideas.It seems to me that we are certainlyin no position to laugh at the narrow¬ness of others when we, here at North¬western, have a ruling against anyorganization which might have anypolitical connections or national affilia¬tion. Perhaps we too are afraid thatsome of our students may do a little“thinking.”The situation is really a trifle ludic¬rous when a large university becomesso panicky at the thought of “jreds”or even “pinks” that stringent rulesagainst any free thinking organizationare passed simply because there mightbe similar groups in other sectionsof the country.Perhaps the “Male Animal” can bemore than just another successfulUniversity Theatre play. It mightmake us wake up and realize thateven here at Northwestern thinkingdoesn’t need to be a criminal offense.Old Maid ProtestsAgainst Murder ofLowly FlatwormsOpen letter to Professor Emerson,Department of Zoology, University ofChicago.Dear Professor Emerson:Your Bi. Sci. lecture last Monday,first brought to my attention the Uni¬versity’s willfuly malicious attacks onthe poor flatworm. At that time youreminded your students of the vigorousobjections raised by the anti-vivisec-tionists and a certain newspaperagainst the practice of killing littledogs. But, you unfeelingly added,nobody cares what happens to theworm!I, for one, Professor, feel that thesewanton murders of flatworms shouldbe brought to public attention. Flat-forms may not be my favorite pets,but I can certainly sympathize withany creature so unloved as the worm.Be warned, sir! Your cruelties tothe flatworm shall not long go un¬protested !Signed,A Frustrated Old Maid.P.S. Your suggestion that the anti-vivisectionists are chiefly old maidswith frustrated reproductive instinctswas, in my opinion, both incorrect andunkind.F. 0. M. on which he was a mail-man (this wasthe famous Washington Post March),he left the search in the hands ofLaFayette and Pulaski, sometimesknowm as Crawford. After long yearsof privation and self-denial, Pulaski,sometimes known as Crawrford, founda room in the Belview-Stratford,whereupon he leaned out the hotelwindow and screamed, “LaFayette,we are here.” By this time the Rev¬olution had been over for six years,and the soldiers hjid all gone home.Washington was left with the emptyroom. He therefore called the Con¬stitutional Convention almost immed¬iately.To understand the Convention, thestudent must know the American gov¬ernment of the era. During the Rev¬olution, a governing pact had beenset up by Congress. Because theflames of war were raging everywhere,the pact was known as the Articlesof Conflagration. The Articles werewholly unsatisfactory, and most his¬torians agree that they weren’t so hot.The men chosen as delegates to theConvention, therefore, jumped at thechance to make compromises in theArticles. This was especially true ofthe Virginia delegates, who were bet¬ter athletes than the rest of the Con¬ventioneers.Such was the situation when thedelegates met in the Belview-Stratfordto begin compromising the Articles.They were immediately disrupted bythe management, which refused toallow any compromising situations.The Convention, therefore, moved tothe campus of the University ofPennsylvania and into a small unionbuilding, reserved for non-fraternitystudents, known as Independents’ Hall.Last Friday and Saturday nights,the most impressive thing about theO.P.D.’s production of Chodorov'schilly slice of London life, “KindLady,” was the set. The familiarMandel Hall stage looked amazinglyarge, for a change, and at least gavethe impression of being a room in aouse in which one might conceivablylike to live provided, of course, thesinister guests had departed. I amreferring, for those of you did not see“Kind Lady,” to the band of profes¬sional thieves who descend upon thehouse of a wealthy, aristocratic lady,one Mary Herries, imprisoned her inher own mansion, and proceed to dosome pretty successful psychologicalbludgeoning as they dispose of herart treasures.Unfortunately, however, thebetter half of the evening hadpassed away before these intend¬ed nightmarish people came alivewith any sort of intensity. Itwas a bit difficult to explain theearly submission of the leadinglady (who was perfectly keyed toher part), when the chief terror¬ist didn’t show the slightest traceof his macabre character untilthe end of Act II. As a conse¬quence of this tardy suggestionof the compelling force of HenryAbbott, the play reached a climaxwhich was tense and effective, butunprepared. With the entrance of .the Edwards family, the slowpace of the first scenes vanished,Mr. Abbott discarded his mittens,and Miss Herries finally hadsomeone against whom to pit herefforts. THE CHICAOO MAROONBach to Bax.Sergei Rachmaninoff: Piano Con¬certo No. 4 in G Minor, Op. 40; Rach¬maninoff, The Philadelphia Orches¬tra, Eugene Ormandy.When Beethoven abandoned theclassical concerto with his fourth con¬certo, he started the concerto formon a course which has brought themodern concerto to' the point wheresolo instrument and orchestra nowhave only a very flimsy relationshipto each other. Rachmaninoff, alwaysa musical conservative, usually tookup an idea about the same time asthe more conservative members ofconcert audiences were beginning tofeel less uncomfortable in the faceof a new idea, this should explainwhy no one ever felt uncomfortablewith Rachmaninoff’s music.The trend can be seen by compari¬son of the first with the fourth con¬certo. The first is a respectable Ro¬mantic concerto in which solo andorchestra succeed each other in the¬matic statements; in the fourth thesoloist weaves arabesques aroundfragmentary themes in the orchestra.Now would be a good time to pointout that the alleged revision of thefirst concerto is more fancy thanfact.The structure of the concerto un¬der consideration includes most ofthe cliches and tricks associated withall the Rachmaninoff concertos. Thefirst movement has a grandiose, bril¬liant opening for the orchestra lead¬ing to quiet pianistic arabesques and' brisk passage work over the usualpizzacato strings; the ’cellos wail amotif from the early song Sorrow InSpring: there is the usual allargandopassage, quickening to vivo with theull orchestra sobbing the theme fffbehind the piano’s passage work.The slow movement with its un¬ending variations on the same fivenote subject tends to grow monoton¬ous. The last movement displays theusual trick of a rush in the orchestra,followed by a quasi-cadenza passagefor the piano; then the usual inter¬play between soloist and orchestrawith thematic material at a minimumand ntany paddings. A return to theopening statement of the first move¬ment, with more elaborate traceriesfor the piano, and a final burst ofsound and fury end the work.Pianist, orchestra, and conductorperform admirably. Surfaces hiss andcrackle badly. Had Victor wantedto memorialize Rachmaninoff, a re¬issue of his recording of the ChopinB Minor Sonata would have beenmore to the point. The work willprove popular with the Rachmaninofffans; it adds nothing to his reputa¬tion.—W. R. W.Merle Sloan .was at her best, in thedifficult role of Mary Herries, and wasably supported by Sid Burks and Ro¬berta Unger. Margaret Kraemer, whodeserves _a line all to herself, wassplendid as Rose. On the left side ofthe fence. Bob Brooks, Lois Wells,Milda Aleksynas, and especially IdellLowenstein augmented the chills inthe audience. Although Curt Gram’scharacterization of Henry Abbott wascertainly not drawn with finesse, itbecame adequate during the later halfof the play. And not to forget thestage crew, may I suggest that theytake a bow, with special lighting ef¬fects all to themselves.As a whole, this first venture underthe new management of the O.D.P.did more to raise our spirits for thefuture than satisfy them for the pres¬ent. Asa mildly complex mystery playit should be noted that “Kind Lady”was successful. But as a powerfuland intriging drama that was in¬tended to hold you inexorably in itsthroes from the curtain’s rise, I’mafraid it missed its mark. The new criticism which is beingdeveloped at the University of Chicagohas been examined in two articles inthe autumn issue of The SewaneeReview. The first, by Hoyt Trow¬bridge, gives an explanation of thenew approach which is being developedhere as well as its relation to the his¬tory of literary criticism.In general, he says, there are twoforms of criticism, the Platonic andthe Aris(totelian. The Aristotelianconsiders poetry in itself and not itsrelation to other fields of human en¬deavor while the Platonic uses as itsyardstick, the “Universal Good” or“The Idea of Poetry.”Most critics have sought to reach apoetics through the Platonic method,the speculative and dialectical ratherthan the inductive and anal3rtical.Horace saw the good of poetry in thatit taught and delighted. Longinus feltit was an ecstasy of the soul, a stateof mind of the poet communicated tothe reader through words. These twobranches of theory found many laterfollowers.Sidney felt the primary purpose ofpoetry was to teach, while Johnson,Dryden, and Pope turned to the latterphrase of Horace’s definition. WithShelley and Arnold we see a revival ofthe ethical judgment which has founddevotees in the present day Marxistcritics.The doctrine of Longinus was againgiven voice by Coleridge. It is herewe see beginnings in the differenta-tiation between poetry and prose,poetry and science, or terms which themoderns have used to express this sep¬aration. Cleanth Brooks, of the mod¬erns, has taken .this up and separateslanguage into two classes according toits usage—science which deals withtruth and leads to action — poetrywhich is “an organization of experi¬ence” and an end in itself.' Allcriticism is based upon the degree ofconformity with his idea of poetry, acombination of the metaphysical andthe s3rmbolist, the “Poetry of Syn¬thesis.”Trowbridge points out that Platonever intended to write a poetics butmerely examined poetry to determinewhether the universal good existedwithin it. When the modern criticsapply the Platonic method, they findpoetry’s relation to the other sciencesbut little of poetry itself.However, the Aristotelian approachfocuses upon the internal rather thanthe external parts. This involves anexamination of the whole, determiningthe parts, the material constituentsfrom which the work is made and es¬tablishes the principle of their unifica¬tion—the form -vyhich determines theunity.It is easily seen that this method ismore flexible, since it presupposesnothing more than the poet is attempt¬ing to create a work of art. The con¬sideration of the critic is to show byformal analysis that the work is or isnot a finely constructed work of art.This seeking of an appreciationthrough the inductive method allowsfor the uniquesness of poetry and doesnot necessitate the rejection of a formmerely because it is new and thereforedoes not conform to the apriori “Ideaof Poetry” which has caused the mod¬ern critics to reject Shelley, Milton,Spenser, Dryden, Pope, Wordsworth,Tennyson and Swinburne.The moderns have found theirspokesman in John Crowe Ransom whose article will be reviewed herenext week.Judy DownsServin^ It' HotIn continuing our resume ofthe local jazz scene, we meet thisweek another Chicago musicianwho has remained in his homeenviroment and gone unheralded.Now playing more tenor thanclarinet at the 5100 Club on N.Broadway, Bud Jacobson is agodsend to the jazz studentsearching vainly for the lingeringglow of Chicago’s golden era.It would not be inappropriate tosay that the Chicago style grew withBud Jacobson. The progeny of a longline of show people. Bud at five wasa child prodigy, performing adeptlyon piano, violin, and saxophone. Whilestill in his teens, he became awareof the new type of music that wassifting up from New Orleans, ab¬sorbed it spontaneously, and proceed¬ed to construct from it something ofhis own. During this same period agroup of kids at Austin High Schoolwere undergoing similar experiences.It was natural that these, and likeyouthful factors, should combine, andthe hell-bent-for-leather days wereon.The dates and the sessions (ffthe period are innumerable, andhave taken on the flavor of leg¬end among the jazz circles. Mu¬sic existed on a fabulous 24 hourschedule. After the regular jobsfolded at 4:00 p. m., the boyspacked off to someone’s home toplay till morning, or noon, orevening when they went back to“work” again. It was in the Ja¬cobson kitchen (Bud’s wife wasas jazz crazy as “her boys” andis today a vital source of inform¬ation on the history and humorof the Chicago gang) that thegin and the jazz flowed from5:00 to 5:00 and Bud Freemanposed before the mirror to inev¬itably comment, “Don’t you •think I look like John Gilbert?”A typical set-up was at White Cityin 1925. The band was composed ofJimmy MacPartland, trumpet; Budacobson, clarinet; Floyd O’brien,trombone; Dave Tough or GeneKrupa, drums; Jim Lannigan, bass;Dave North, piano. This was the“clique,” the original and perhapsauthentic Chicago crowd, as opposedto the later group composed of suchmusicians as Muggsy Spanier, GeorgeWhettling, and Jess Stacy, whichevolved under slightly different in¬fluences.There has been recently releasedon Signature Records four sides byBud Jacobson and his Rhythm Kingswhich contain a great deal of theflavor of old Chicago; Clarinet Mar-nelade.

Something would turnup to plague Zeus and remind him ofwhat he would like to have forgotten.Chicago’s contemporary Zeus, the“mourning colonel,” occasionally per¬mits the clouds surrounding his sanc¬tuary in the Cuckoo Tower to liftand disclose his countenance in tra¬vail.Sunday morning the readers ofZeus, the Cloud-Compeller, the Wise-In-Council, were permitted to learnthat, in spite of all the precautionstaken against “stealing of the soldiervote by the Communist-dominatedNew Deal”, the safeguarding of theConstitution by the states’ absenteeballoting had resulted in the disen¬franchisement of many service men.All this in spite of Tom Thumb’s as¬surance that “every service man whowants to vote will be able to do soon the state ballot.”In a story datelined from Paris bythe Cuckoo Tower’s press service, weare told, “Unless APO mailmen per¬form miracles, many officers andsoldiers from Illinois, Wisconsin,New York, and other states will bedeprived of their votes in the forth¬coming Presidential election. ..Atone of the Army’s largest base hos¬pitals commanded by a New Yorkerbut in which there are many Chicagoand Illinois doctors, few so far havereceived their state ballot...”Can it be that this was a slip ofthe editors and that this story foundits way into print without ’ the“mourning colonel’s” sanstion. Doesthis mean that our “glorious Con¬stitutional tradition of the right ofthe several states to regulate elec¬tions” has broken down or been allowed to break down so that service menwon’t be able to vote? Perish thethought! It is a trick of the “Com¬munist-dominated post office depart¬ment” to keep loyal Americans fromvoting in the forthcoming elections.As soon as the colonel has convincedhimself through self-hypnotism, astartled America will doubtless learnthat these aforesaid loyal Americansshould be allowed to vote via thefederal ballot, and that he himselfwas the author of this latest boon tohumanity, but that the “communist-dominated New Deal” stole his brainchild from him. —W, WambaughChapel Union Has aSuccessful OutingOver the WeekendSaturday and Sunday, October 28and 29, Chapel Union held its quar¬terly outing, this time at Druce LakeCamp.

Ayoung warrior wants to marry thedaughter of the chief—^but so does themedicine man, a suave looking villain.The old chief dies after appointingthe boy as chief. There is a short¬age of game, and now the villain findsopportunity for revenge. He con¬vinces the tribe that there will be nofood until the young chief is sacrificedto the Great Spirit. At the very mo¬ment when the boy is about to beburned, caribou is sighted.The villain is banished from thetribe, the young chief is freed, andhe marries the girl. Of course every¬body lives happily ever after.Faust DiscussesReligion, PoliticsIn a lecture entitled, “Theories ofRevolution,” Clarence H. Faust, pro¬fessor of English and Dean of theCollege, discussed the religious andpolitical theories [that precipitatedthe American Revolution. This, thesixth of a series of lectures treating“Intellectual Currents in the Del^el-opment of American Thought,” wasconducted at 7:30 p. m., Wednesday,in the Oriental Institute.Much of the political controversyat the time of the Revolution, Faustpointed out, was of a religious orig¬in. The issues extended as far backas the Creation.He went on to say that Paine, Jef¬ferson and the other rebels who werefollowers of the Ehiglish politicalphilosopher, John Locke, believedthat all men were created equal andthat this equality should extend tothe political realm. Government, theyasserted, was a necessary evil towhich men must give up some oftheir freedom in return for protec¬tion. Democracy was the best form ofgovernment because it entailed sur¬render of less freedom than any otherform.The English and the colonial Loy¬alists, on the other hand, maintainedthat at Creation men differed in wis¬dom, degree of emotional control, andmany other respects.
