Kimpton new rules con¬cerning hours in women’s residencehalls.The women of Beecher and Gateshave voted for the complete abolitionof formal hour restrictions, but toenforce strict use of the “sign-out”book. Under the Beecher plan, thehead of the house will deal with any¬one who takes undue advantage ofthese liberal privileges.A student house council has beenproposed at Gates to bring to taskwomen who constantly keep hours in¬jurious to their health or academicprogress. This council may also begiven power to impose penalties aftera number of warnings have beenmade. It is hoped that this plan willeliminate defiance of rules and rule¬breaking for sport.Blake Hall plans to continue its12:00 curfew on week nights with ex¬tensions upon permission from thehead of the house. Week-end hourswill be extended to 3:00 a. m.On any two evenings a week wo¬men in Green Hall may receive 3:00extensions. Midnight restrictions willotherwise be in effect.During the discussion last Thurs¬day evening Dean Kimpton made itclear that all proposals made by thewomen would be considered by theUniversity.

Dr. Rein¬hold Niebuhr, Professor of AppliedChristianity at the Union TheologicalSeminary in New York, delivered thefirst in his series of lectures entitled“Changing and Abiding Elemenjis inthe Human Situation.”Mr. Niebuhr began his first lecture,“Man As a Creature and Master ofNature and History”, by speaking ofthe profound effect that the rapidityof technological change has had uponsociety. We are, he said, now facedwith the problem of integrating atechnology that demands a worldeconomy into a society that lacks amoral and political philosophy toachieve such an economy.This rapid change, he continued,has also created a cultural crisis inthat it has obscured the abiding ele¬ments in human nature. Ever sinceRenaissance man revolted against thelimitations imposed upon his thoughtsand activities by the moral law of thechurch, we have been beset by twocontradictory illusions: 1) that man,through reason, can be entirely freeof the necessities of nature, and 2)that progress will automatically re¬sult from the evolutionary process.These philosophies of historical opti¬mism, Dr. Niebuhr pointed out, arenot justified; history, he said, is ourproblem, not our solution. History iscreative and is influenced by the de¬cisions of men, but those decisions donot necessarily make history a re¬demptive force. Modern civilizationis capable of breeding a highly devel¬oped “evil” as well as a highly de¬veloped “good”. Our present culturalconfusion and chaos stems from thefact that we tend to over-emphasizeman as a rational being capable ofcomplete control over nature andhimself, or, going to the other ex¬treme as in Nazi Germany, we revertto tribal ritual and a denial of all ra¬tionality.We must realize, Mr. Niebuhr con¬cluded, that man is rooted in nature,subject to its limitations and necessi¬ties, and that he posses an indeterm¬inate but not infinite capacity totranscend nature. The dilemna ofmodern man springs not from his“brutal istincts”, but from his at¬tempt to deny that he is a part of theintrinsic whole that is nature, ratherthan an entity separate and divorcedfrom it.Formal "C" Dance ClosesAutumn Social SeasonTo wind up its social activities forthe autumn quarter the Student So¬cial Committee has planned a formaldance to be held on Saturday, Novem¬ber 26, from 9:80 to 12:30 p. m. inthe Ida Noyes Gym.The affair is formal for women butoptional for men.

In those fivedecades the University has grownfrom a small cluster of buildings in¬to a huge campus and has become oneof the world’s most celebrfited uni¬versities.Born in 1876 at Oslo, Norway, Lar¬sen /;ame to the United States as achild and attended the Philip Sheri¬dan Grammar School and the SouthDivision High School in Chicago. Hebecame an employee of the Universi¬ty when he was 18.The laboratory department is cur¬rently in Abbot, but it has movedthree times since 1894, from Kent toAnatomy to Botony and then to Ab¬bott.Five presidents have served theUniversity, but Larsen has met onlyone, the first, William Rainey Harp¬er. When President Harper heardthat Larsen was planning to leavethe University for a better salary, hecalled him to his office, led him inone door, declaring, “We’ll take careof you,” and then ushered him out theother door. Larsen has heard campusaddresses by such notables as MadamCurie, William Jennings Bryan, Ted¬dy Roosevelt, and John D. Rockefel-Hall, Goedecke toRule Frosh, SophsFor Coming YearThe results of the first and secondyear elections are as follows: For thefirst year: President — David Hall;Vice-President — Willis Hannewalt;Secretary-Treasurer—Nich Sousour-is; Social Chairman—Clyde Donehoo.For second year: President—^WaltGoedecke; Vice-President — StevePlank; Secretary-Treasurer — ToniSpeare; Social Chairman—Don Bush-nell.For the Student Activities Com¬mittee: Chairman — Dave Bushnell;Vice-President — Channing Lush-baugh; Secretary — Jean Hirch;Treasurer—Ralph Anderson. ler. He has worked in close conjunc¬tion with Drs. Anton Julius Carlsonand Amo B. Luckhart, world famousphysiologists.Larsen handles over $60,000 worthof labortory equipment a year includ¬ing glassware, chemicals, and instru¬ments. All manner of items havebeen stored in his stockrooms, fromlethal gases to cadavers in transit.In the past, there has even been a bitof whiskey to wash down the reactionto the sight of the corpses.“Those,” Larsen might well re¬mark, “were the good old days.”Smith Analyzes^HistoricaV SenseIn Music CriticismLast Monday evening Mr. CecilSmith lectured on the topic, “MusicalCriticism and History”. He disting¬uished between four different meth¬ods of musico-historical presentation:presentation as a continuum of tech¬nical procedures as exemplified bymusical compositions; presentation asa succession of personalities; presen¬tation as a sequence based on princi¬ples other than technique, such asprogrammatic content; and in termsof groups, movements and institu¬tions. The gathering, catologuing, re¬vising, and documenting of facts areuseful, but achieves meaning onlyafter presentation of the data in oneof these four ways.In bringing out these differentmethods, Mr. Smith used as an ex¬ample the map of the Pacific. Justas the Pacific isles are interpreteddifferently by a military man, by oneseeking escape from civilization, by anovelist such as Somerset Maugham,by an economist interested in rawmaterials, or by an official of an air¬line concerned with refuelling prob¬lems, so are the isles interpreted dif¬ferently by a musical critic in pre¬senting a musico-historical analyza-tion. He further illustrated this dif¬ference in historical presentation byinterpreting in different ways cer¬tain facts leading up to the composi¬tion of Debussy’s “Pelleas et Melis-ande”.Next week Mr. Smith will discuss“Musical Criticism and Biography”.

This year’s freshman classhas 10 Army, 17 Navy, and 35 civil¬ian men with 3 women. The sopho¬more class has 35 Army, 26 Navy and2 civilian men with 6 women. Themain reason for this is the cut-backof the A. S. T. P. appropriation byCongress.Of the freshman class of 65, 21 arefrom the University and 7 of theseare graduates of the College. Of therest, 3 are from Harvard, 2 from theUniversity of California, 2 from Dru¬ry, 2 from the University of Utah, 1from Puerto Rico, and 1 from Hawaii.The majority of the class is of Mid¬western origin. Out of 66, 35 arefrom the Midwest, 11 from the farWest, 9 from the East, 6 from theMountain states, and 6 from theSouth.There are 6 who receive help underthe “G. I. Bill of Rights” and 4 whohave done graduate work.The Army-Navy requirements forentering the Medical School, whichhave been in effect during the war,may soon be dropped and the stifferpre-war requirements substituted.Under the accelerated program therewere over 100 M.

The major topic for the forencic pyro-loChnics has been ‘‘stuctent activities.” Thereare students who believe that the status of activ¬ities (is very low indeed, and that responsibilityfor such a condition must rest with a real orimagined i^iathy on Ihe part of the Dean ofStudents Office.Administration concernedOur response to these more articulate stu¬dents is that the state of extra-curricular studententerprises is poor, but, as far as we can ascer¬tain, the Administration has now concerned itselfwith the situation. Not only is the Dean's Officetaking the necessary steps to familiarize itselfwith the causes and effects of the current tateof student activities, but an all-faculty committee,headed by Mr. Russell Thomas, is reconveningm order to mvestigate these same problems,rhis is encouraging. In order to accomplish theirpurpose, both the Dean's Office and the facultycommittee must make every effort to consultwith the students themselves.Student participation neededThe student body should concern itself withand participate in the solution of such problemsas general policy governing Carillon and theOffice of Dramatic Productions, the establish¬ment of a student union building and a studentgovernment, the extension of class organizationsto the last two years of College and the extensionof the “residence hall” program, the inclusion ofcommuters and divisional students in the generalactivities program of the University, and thedetermination of such matters as supervisionand control of existing student organizationsand dormitory regulations. These topics aresignificant to every student.We need your opinions •The Chicago Maroon intends to deal withthese important problems in greater detail insubsequent issues. However, we cannot pretendto know the attitudes of the great majority ofstudents, who have not expressed their opinions.Consequently, we cannot effectively representcampus-wide opinion in treating these problemsunless the students demonstrate ufficient interestby communicating their ideas and criticisms tous.

The kindest thing that can be said about this playis that, while it is rather dull entertainment, it at least strikes ahigher level han some of the so-called comedies that have been of¬fered to Chicago audiences in the past few months.The stock tale concerns a troupe of“lovable” chisellers, who obtain pos¬session of a pill which rules out thenecessity of sleep, and follows theirattempts to make a fortune by itsexploitation.Although the pace of “Sleep NoMore” was rapid, it must be admittedthat both the direction and actingcould be improved to the advantageof cast and audience. The stage busi¬ness, especially, was repetitive andat times far from humorous.Correct all these faults, however,and even allow for a well-worn plot,the fact still remains that the dia¬logue was stiff and unreal. “SleepNo More” is passable, but that’sabout all.« 4> «ICE FOLLIES OF 1945It is possible, I think, to at¬tribute the phenomenal successof Shipstead’s and Johnson’s“Ice Follies of 1945” mainly totheir deft combination of expertskating and dazzling spectacle.An elaboration oi the wondej's of this ice show would be like try¬ing to describe a turkey dinner,and besides might weary themany followers of the silverskates who are well acquaintedwith the virtues of the Messrs.Shipstead and Johnson.I do however, have a bone to pickwith the latter. There were severalperformers, the producers among'them, of whom we saw altogether toolittle and some of whom we saw toomuch. It certainly couldn’t be diffi¬cult to imagine two hours spent inwatching the fascinating antics ofBobby Blake or the graceful move¬ments of Hazel Franklin. Frick andFrack were on for a matter of sevenminutes, Roy Shipstead for even less.On the other hand, some of the com¬edy acts could have been dispensedwith, as well as some rather meaning¬less moments given over to a con¬tortionist, and animated vegetables.All this is picayunish criticism, forthere is never an instant when youreyes wander.

The only limitation set on letters is that they should he onsubjects of interest and concern to CHICAGO MAROON readers.)Chapter VIIBest kncwn of the 3^47 dele^tesassembled at Independents’ Hall wasthe great Benjamin Franklin, P.N.E.in A.H. for a multitude of reasons,chief among which was that he wasthe inventor of electricity. This in¬vention was completely impracticalat the time, as there was no way ofmaintaining any constant current.This point was fully explained in acontemporary English book. The De¬cline and Fall of the Roaming Am¬pere. Franklin, like everyone elsewho ever tried The Decline and Fall,completely ruined his eyesight, there¬by forcing him to invent bi-focals.Contributing to the ruin of his visionwas another of his inventions, theSaturday Evening Post. In commonwith all readers of the Post, Frank¬lin’s greatest problem was what to dowith back issues. He, therefore,founded the Philadelphia Library andinvented the Franklin Stove. TheFranklin Stove must have been verysuccessful, as the following year Ben¬jamin founded the Philadelphia FireDepartment.It was the Saturday Evening Postwhich caused most of the friction atJudy DawnsServin' It' HotThe establishment last winterof the Session Record Shop at125 N. Wells Street, the onlyrecord store in the city sellingexclusively jazz records, was anevent joyously heralded by localjazz fans. Complete with BackRoom for the back room boysand basement for frantic jam¬mers, the SessiMi was spontane¬ously adopted as official hang¬out for all jazz enthusiasts. Here,one could while away an after¬noon to the background of thelatest Ellington or Eddie Condonrecording, in the company of suchillustrous Chicago personages asJimmy Yancey, George Hoefer,Paul Eduard Miller, and HowieBecker.Operators-in-chief of this marvel¬ous establishment are Phil Feather-ingill and his wife, Evie. Dapper andmoustached with a certain mysteriousgot-a-big-deal-on-air, Featheringill’srise to his present strategic positionin local jazz activitities has been ofa somewhat meteor-like aspect.Emerging from the ranks of the ad¬vertising business, he first becamewell known in jazz circles aboutthree years ago when he was situat¬ed in a back room of the Crove Rec¬ord Shop on South Parkway and do¬ing a nice trade with local and visit¬ing collectors. Thefe then occurreda sudden disappearance of Featherin-gill from the Groove, followed by aperiod of potent silence from whichemerged to the surprise of even hisclose friends, the Session RecordShop.On the heels of the opening of theshop appeared Session Records whichspecialized in rare re-issues and le¬gendary in frequently recorded jazz¬men. Outstanding Session releaseshave been re-issues of the Jelly RollMorton-King Oliver Autographs, aJimmy Yancey album of blues andboogie woogie, and four sides by theRichard M. Jones’ Jazzmen, (Jones—piano; Preston Jackson—^trombone;Darnell Howard — clarinet; BobSchoffnear—^trumpet; ^John Lindsay— bass and Baby Dodds — drums.Probably the most striking feather inPhil’s cap, however, was the redis¬covery and exclusive recording ofPunch Miller, New Orleans trumpe¬ter. the convention. Franklin was contin¬ually at odds with Patrick Henry forpreferring Liberty. This would haveled to considerable ill-feeling exceptthat Betsy Ross was there to keepeveryone in stitches. Further detailsof the convention are diflScult to ob¬tain because the proceedings were re¬corded only in an obscure Republicannewspaper known as the MadisonJournal.Book StuffBy John HarmonAs promised last week, this columnwill be concerned with the recent arti¬cle by John Crowe Ransom in the au¬tumn issue of the Sewanee Review.The article by Dr. Trowbridge, whichpraised and explained the new criti¬cism of the University, has provokedthis answer by Ransom.As the above suggests. Ransom’s ap¬proach to the problem is mainly a rhe¬torical one. He accuses the “academi¬cians” of the University of resortingto the habit of the French Schoolboys,the explanation of the text or the par¬aphrase of the poem which attemptsto encompass the poem as a whole.Even though the Chicago school al¬lows this use of what Ransom citesas logical commonplaces, he questionsthe abandonment of moral and othercommonplaces which the Chicagoschool has eliminated as a priori toand beyond the scope of poetry itself.Returning to his attack upon theiruse of the paraphrase. Ransom saysthey love the poem intrinsically‘forits inviolable particularity, but sincethey have to have a reason for lovingit, they love it as a monument of thelogical intelligence, that is the para¬phrase, which spoils the nobility ofthe first profession. Free naturalimagery, he says, is the imitative ele¬ment of the poem and for that the ar¬gument exists. Therefore the argu¬ment is not a consequence but themeans.Reverting to an Aristotelian classi¬fication out of deference to Mr. Trow¬bridge, Ransom then says:“For the ordinary ambivalent poem,it seems possible to say that theimagery may be regarded as its finalcause and the logical argument as itspublic front or formal cause.”Ransom then states some of thecommonplaces which may be used toarrive at the true criticism of anydiscourse. The first of these is theuse of “semantical commonplaces”,those which hold the poem to somestandard of “objectivity” or “realism”.They assume that poetry means totell the truth about the actual worldas the empirical sciences do.” Moreinteresting, he says, would be the oth¬er parts of a poem, the imitations.These are the imagery since it isthrough these that recognition is ef¬fected. The» “Pragmatical Common¬places” are those which are employedin discussing final causes or humanuses of a poem. This last has notbeen developed by critics.Not content with this rhetoricagainst the University criticism.Ransom explodes in an attack uponacademicians as opposed to what hecalls the “professional critics”. It is,he says, another case of a battle be¬tween the “town and gown.” So muchfor current literary quarrels.Proof that the University does de¬velop and sustain some literary talentis evidenced by the publication oftwo students’ work in current maga¬zines. The next issue of Poetry, aMagazine of Verse will contain fivepoems by Marie BoroflP, former FiskePrize winner. The Negro Story Mag¬azine which will soon be on sale hasa story by James Light, another divi¬sional student. THE CHICAGO MAROONFirst ConcertIn New SeriesGreat SuccessThe Stravinsky Dumbarton OaksConcerto for chamber orchestra start¬ed the first Composers’ Concert of theld44-45 season off very successfullylast Friday night. The concerto, an¬other work of Stravinsky in the neo¬classical vein, a modified concertogrosso in form, was facile, pleasantmusic—easily one of the most attrac¬tive of the composer’s works in thisperiod. Although written in 1938, thework is currently enjoying a revival;it was also played in Los Angeles lastweek. The chamber orchestra, drawnfrom the Chicago Symphony, underHans Lange’s baton, gave a first-rateperformance.Next came Samuel Barber’s Capri¬corn Concerto for fiute, oboe, trumpet,and strings. This proved to be a dull,arid work: to borrow an analogy fromarchitecture, it defined space, it failedto enclose it. Commendation goes tothe trumpeter, Mr. W. Huffman, whoplayed his part with unusual elan.The work had only conventional mod¬ulation to offer, in place of high the¬matic content, a thing which the Stra¬vinsky very clearly had in spite ofunusual (or should I say the usualStravinskian?) harmonization. Bar¬ber himself conducted and the per¬formance was decidedly one whichwouldn’t have disclosed any latentpossibilities, if the work had any.After intermission came Jean Fran-caix’s Concertino for Piano and Or¬chestra, with Rudolph Ganz as soloist.The work, already a part of the stan¬dard repertory—except in Chicagowhere such things always lag tenyears behind everywhere else—, isgay, tenuous without being flimsy, vi¬vacious; it bears the imprint of Ra¬vel’s style, as does most French musicwritten since 1926 by French compos¬ers who have stayed at home andhave not been to Brazil as militaryattache to the French embassy there.The work was neatly played, exceptthat Ganz’ style was too percussiveand hard at times, notably in the firstmovement—^which should have hadmore elasticity.The program concluded with Hinde¬mith’s Kammerusik No. 1, Op. 2k,No. 1, which could be described as adissonant version of the notoriousIbert Divertismen. This does not im¬ply the work is unattractive — farfrom it. It does mean that it is nota serious owrk which could stand onthe same level even with the KarrCiher-musik No. 2 or the string quartets.Of the four compositions played,three, Stravinsky, Francaix, and Hin¬demith, would be worth repeating. Asthe fourth number on the program Iwould suggest the Bartok Sonata forTwo Pianos and Percussion, which wehad been promised for the openingconcert but didn’t materialize forsome reason. What happened?—W.R.W.Probably the most unique functionof the fall season was the tea dancegiven by Green Hall last Sunday. Itwas notable chiefly for the lack ofmales. At two o’clock one lone manwas fervently hoping for reinforce¬ments. By four o’clock the numberhad risen to the staggering total ofsix.A deathly quiet pervaded thedownstairs, except for a feeble rhum¬ba echoing in the emptiness. Upstairsa menacing group of femmes plottedthe demise of the house committee,who had planned the dance, andswore off men, especially the fiftywho didn’t appear. It is very likelythat some were among those present The Chicago Maroon is deservingof little praise for the manner inwhich it reported events transpiringduring the Bromfield speech in Man-del Hall, Wednesday, November 1.Your writers represent the actionsof the audience as being unprovokedby anything but persistent questions.According to my observations, how¬ever, the resentment resulted fromthe persistent ill-manners and heck¬ling on the part of a few boorish stu¬dents!Had these rascals waited until thequestion period to state their ques¬tions, and acted in a manner becom¬ing to their ages and assumed intelli¬gence, there would have been no re¬sentment. In fact, I believe the aud¬ience would have been interested andco-operative as was Mr. Bromfield.With half of the speech made unintel¬ligible to the listeners because of thenoxious behavior of the students, thereaction was only natural.“Why aren’t you in the army?”and “Communist!” were doubtlesssilly enough remarks from a few dis¬turbed women, but though I sat inthe center of action, two or threeseats away from the noisiest of thestudents, I heard no “vicious cry of‘Jew’!” If I had, I could not havewritten this letter inasmuch as I letno opportunity pass to work againstintolerance, especially anti-Semitism.One wonders whether the writer couldhave been the culprit of the eveningand whether the slant of the articleswas not trumped up synthetic martyr¬dom as a pious cloak to hide his ownmisconduct.In the future, please, let’s have hon¬est reporting from the Maroon’sjournalistic tyros.Yours truly,LeRoy J. Lahman.To the Editor:In last week’s issue of The ChicagoMaroon, truth was distorted to thepoint of absurdity.Our quarrel is with the two articlesconcerning the Louis Bromfield lec¬ture. After describing the lecture asbeing “highlighted by hooting, cat¬calling, and hissing,” the articles neg¬lected to name the source of thesedisturbances. Instead, they subtlyimplied that the offenders were the“old men and doddering women” Re¬publicans, present in the audience.Those who should have been blamedfor the outrageous behavior were a“scattering of thinking Universitystudents”, who provoked all of theevening’s demonstrations by theirrude outbursts during Mr. Bromfield’slecture. The “thinking” students whowere guilty of these gross discourte¬sies displayed a lack of open-minded¬ness and democratic spirit which de¬nies them this very thoughtfulnessat the open house sponsored byBlake.Elections days fanned the flame ofa standing feud between Democratsand Republicans. And the culmina¬tion in Green Hall was a shower forthe “demon Democrat” of the secondfloor, Elaine Manheim. However,thoroughly dried out by Tuesdaynight, she held an election party forboth factions. But one of her G. 0. P.friends nourished a seed of resent¬ment over Mr. Roosevelt’s victory,and pied her bed. The latest reporton the situation discloses that every¬one but Elaine knows the identity ofthe Republican. for which tiiey were given credit.N.G.R.B.E.S.—StudentsTo the Editor:On receiving the last issue of ThsChicago Maroon, which I had previ¬ously held to be a fine example of col¬lege journalism, I was disappointedto see that The Chicago Maroon hashit an all time low in college papers.Their reporting of the Bromfieldincident is shameful. They idolize afew University students who haveill manners and disrespect enough togo to a meeting with the expresspurpose of heckling the speaker. Theysmear the elderly people of Brom¬field’s audience as “doddering oldmen and women.”All lecturers speaking for Roose¬velt are given tons of praise in theMaroon, but when a member of theopposition expresses his view's he isruthlessly smeared. Is" this the type ofunfair journalism that is going toappear in the publication of a greatUniversity?I suggest that, henceforth, ThsChicago Maroon keep its fingers outof the political pie, unless they cangive fair and unbiased expression toboth sides of the question.Bill Lind.(Ed. Note: Admitting that one studentheckled Mr. Bromfield, we are con¬cerned vnth the effect on the importedaudience and not the cause of its**silly remarks”. As for the volumeof the audience’s outburst against thestudents present—it all depends onthe listener’s position and beliefs.)Lorraine McFaddenBox Office“Since You Went Away,” hailed asa future Academy Award winner,owes what appeal it has to the tear-jerking performances of big namestars. A well-organized, highly emo¬tional story has been derived fromMargaret Buell Wiler’s book of sim¬ple letters to a soldier from his wife.Dealing with the problems whichbeset a family when the husband andfather goes off to war, the movieleaves the audience audibly sobbingby the time it reaches the end.Changes made from the book to themovie consist mainly of additions—in the form of one Navy Cross, onesoldier missing and one killed inaction, and one killed in the U. S.There are scenes of mangled soldiersin a rehabilitation hospital, and a fewspeeches against hoarding. All ofwhich give thefilm more than a faintodor of an extremely long govern¬ment short. By including a numberof light, humorous incidents from theoriginal story, however, the movie issaved from the fate of being a com¬pletely depressing one. An improve¬ment over the book is made by the in¬troduction of a tender love affairbetween Jennifer Jones and BobWalker, which, incidentally, changesWilder’s hockey-playing high schoolsophomore to Selznik’s tragic, sweetyoung girl.Characterizations are excellent.Claudette Colbert does a good job asMrs. Hilton (no relation to George),the mother of two teen-age daugh¬ters (Jennifer Jones and ShirleyTemple). The whiskey-drinking IrishColonel becomes Monty Wooley in hisbest “Man Who Came to Dinner”role. Bob Walker is once again Pri¬vate Hargrove, while the presence ofJoseph Cotten serves as a steadyingfactor against the hysterics of thefeminine players.Green Hall Open House Unsuceessful;Viee Versa on New Deal-GOP FeudPage Six 'Feininger ArtExhibited AtGoodspeed HallThe “Retrospective Exhibition ofWatercolors and Drawings” of LyonelFeininger at Goodspeed Hall is anoutstanding show. The pictures in¬cluded, though mostly watercolors,present a sufficiently wide variety toindicate the scope of his ability.Although Feininger by birth is anAmerican, his painting shows strongGerman influence. Since he was inParis during the height of the Cubis¬tic period, he was for some time adisciple of Picasso and Braque, andstill shows traces of that influence inhis interwoven cross-patterns.His strongest influence can betraced to his attachment to the Bau-haus school in Germany, which advo¬cated an adaptation of cubism andfuturism. Paul Klee and Vasily Ka-bolinsky, followers of this school, em¬phasized an architectural cleanlinessand precision of line, importance oflinear pattern, and a sincere moveaway from representative painting.Of the three major painters in theschool, Feininger adheres most close¬ly to natural representation. His workmay be described as near-abstract.Kandinsky today is the foremost non¬objective painter. Klee tends to bemore nearly abstract than Feiningerbut, in most instances in his imagin¬ative and naive paintings, he retainssome suggestion of natural form.Although a comparatively abstractpainter and patently more interestedin creation than in representation,Feininger’s meaning is rarely ob¬scure. There is no evidence of thesort of self-symbolism that creeps in¬to Klee’s work.A comparison of three of hisworks, “Tower of St. Guenole, Brit¬tany”—one of the most clearly geo¬metric of his paintings, “Bridge atOberweimar”—a more fluid paintingthan the “Tower” and particularlyrich in mood, and “Under A BrownSun”—a mean between the other twopaintings combining precision of linewith fluidity of color, indicates theflexibility present within his fairlywell-defined style. A fourth paint¬ing, “Houses By The River,” exem¬plifies his ability in the handling ofwatercolor. D. M. THE CHICAGO MAROONNew Type of LoveStory in “Harvest”Even in his wildest dream, no saneAmerican producer would dare makea boy meets girl movie like “Har¬vest”, the French fiction film shownNov. 7 under the auspices of theDocumentary Film Group. “Harvest”is a love story with no element of thegushy senimental mush and brittlepseudo-sophistication that is deemedso essential a part of film love bythe average American movie goer.The plot is quite simple. Gedemus,played by a grotesque horse-facedcharacter with an enormous grin, is aperegrinating scissors grinder. Trav¬eling with him is a comely younglady. Arsule helps Gedemus in smallways—she pulls his grinder, prepareshis food. One day the two come upona deserted village. A noise issuesfrom one of the houses. Since Arsuleis afraid, the considerate Gedemusconcedes to flee from the village. Theomniscient eye of the camera dis¬closes that the noise was made by aman, who, peeping through a crackin a wall, is overcome by Arsule’sbeauty.That night, while Gedemd^ sleeps,the man meets Arsule; and becausehe’s a strong man with a beard, sheis attracted to him. So, when he asksher to marry him, she accepts. Theyset up house-keeping the next day.... And now, one begins to wonderabout the nature of the relationshipbetween Arsule and Gedemus.Gedemus, in the meantime, awakes,and, finding that Arsule has disap¬peared, concludes that she has beenmurdered; and when he returns tothe' village in search of the body andfinds a spot of blood near one of thedeserted houses, he is positive thatsomeone has slit her throat. He racesto the police in a nearby town, re¬lates his tale, and is promptly lockedup as the murderer. The police deignto search for the body, liowever, andfinding Arsule alive and happily mar¬ried, rather reluctantly free Gedemus.Some months later, the scissorsgrinder returns to the village to tryto persuade Arsule’s husband that sheis worthless. He can’t—^but settleswith the man for 160 francs withwhich to buy a donkey, to pull hisgrinder and keep him company. Gede¬mus departs, leaving the couple veryhappy.All in all, “Harvest” is quite re¬freshing. —E.

He was speaking in thefirst of a series of five lectures on“Europe After Hitler” presented bythe College.Halperin praised and agreed withthe statement made by PresidentRoosevelt several weeks ago when hesaid, “The peace structure which weare building must depend on founda¬tions that go. deep into the soil ofmen’s faith and men’s hearts; other¬wise it is worthless.”“The League of Nations perishedbecause the nations that composed itput no more than lip service to theplans of collective security,” Halper¬in asserted. “The League of Nationsalso passed on a covenant that seg¬regated the important states to en¬force sanctions against aggressors.The machinery was there, the will tomake it work was lacking. National¬ism and its judicial expression, thedoctrine of national sovereignty,proved insurmountable obstacles.“In the proposed international or¬ganization the big five — UnitedStates, Retain, Russia, China andFrance — will assume primary re¬sponsibility for the prevention andsuppression of il|ggression. A militarystaff and an international air forceare placed at the disposal of the neworganization. Speedy and effectiveaction against the disturbers of thepeace is contemplated. But national¬ism and the doctrine of national sov¬ereignty are as rampant as ever.These will wreck the new internation¬al organization just as they wreckedthe League unless they are replacedby a world state.”Sight Seeing Trips Charter TripsPrimary and Advanced InstructionHowell Flying ServiceLEARN TO FLYField Phone: Howell AirportBlue Island 3650 131st & CiceroThe track team will begin practicesoon, in preparation for the indoortrack season.Maroon Track Team to FinishUp Current Season SaturdayJohn Adams, star of the Maroon ‘cross country team, came through withanother first place at the Milwaukeemeet last Saturday, November 4.

It has been a dozen years since a Stagg team.churned up the Chicagoturf, and it has been five long years since a Maroon eleven rolled against BigTen subsidized juggernauts. But football tradition never really digs its owngrave, and as a result, there are many oldtimers who still recall, with a glintin their eye and a smile on their lips, one of the all-time great backfields ofAmerican football history, Chicago’s incomparable 1898 backfield coterie.Footbal lin that day, the dawning age of the game, was marked by pon¬derous brute force—mass plays, size, and power. The pigskin sport was dom¬inated heavily by the Ivy schools, Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Pennsylvania,and Cornell, who previously had been the only schools to attract All-Ameri¬can attention. It was in the dual role of producing a great backfield star andin first shifting the football sportlight into the West that the 1898 team play¬ed so prominent a role.The beckfield was star spangled: Walter S. Kennedy at quarterback; J.R. Henry at left half; Clarence B. Herschberger at right half; and F. L. Slaker at fullback. Herschberger was the first Chicago all-American, a toweringgiant who could drill thru the line with devastating consistency. He also wasone of the first great drop kick artists. Slaker was a top-flight line plungerand Kennedy was a shrewd and sharp field marshal.Chicago captured nine games that year and dropped two. The two lostverdicts were to Pennsylvania and Michigan, by a point each, 12-11. In ”99the same team was back in harness and won 12, tied two. The two deadlockswere with Iowa and Pennsylvania. One of the notable conquests that yearwas the 17-0 drubbing of Pat O’Dea and Wisconsin. It was this series thatgave rise to the famous “ ’round Chicago” line in Wisconsin’s “Alma Mater.”The real value of this team, however, was that it drew the needle pointof the compass away from the East and was highly instrumental in shiftingattention to Western football. It was radical and revolutionary for a West¬erner, Herschberger, to be listed as an All-American. The effect was a broad¬ening of the scope of football into a nationwide game and in that sense theChicago backfield was one of the most influential in footbal history. It wasnot, however, until nearly 26 years later when a small eleven from CentreCollege roared out of the West to smack down Harvard that the West beganto hog the grid limelight. It has captivated that light ever since.“Mine eyes have seen the glory...”By your pet Arrowof course.Your best friend’s bound tobe tempted sooner or laterby your rack of swell-look¬ing Arrows.Best way to keep him fromborrowing your Arrow Tiesis to take him down to yourArrow Dealer’s and let himbuy his own! $1 and $1.50ARROW TIES _ . . » Pago SevenSoph Medics, Manly HouseLead In Intramural FootballRain and wet weather somewhatdampened the games of the past weekin the intramural football leagues butevery team showed that their enthus¬iasm was still intact after three weeksof play.
