THE CHICAGO MAROONVoU, No.21 Z-149Burton CollegeWith Party AsComing as a complete surprise tothe majority of residents, the “600^’and “700” Entry men of BurtonCourt held their first Open HouseTuesday night in the Burton Loungeof the Burton-Judson Dormitory.This was the first Open House heldthere since the buildings were firstoccupied by various branches of thearmed forces in 1941,The “lounge-warming” party cameabout almost spontaneously when asmall group of students headed by theAssistant Head Residents, RobertWeber and Hank Ruby, decided tomake use of the Lounge the firstnight that it would be open to civil¬ians. A makeshift sign was put onthe bulletin boards of each entry,small collections were made to payfor the food, and a hurried collectionof records was rounded up.The party started off slow, but bynine o’clock the lounge was crowdedto capacity by people eating, dancingand talking around the hearth of thefireplace. Possibly the only disap¬pointing part of the evening occurredwhen the night watchman appeared ateleven to stop the party which wasstill in full swing.For the first time in three yearsBurton-Judson Court, newest men'sresidence hall on campus will soon becompletely occupied by civilians. Atpresent University students in thethird and fourth years of the Collegeare being housed in only two of thedormitory entries but tentativeplans call for moving first and secondyear men, now living in several halls,to Burton-Judson at the beginning ofnext quarter. Beginning with thatdate, meals will be served to all resi¬dents.Burton-Judson, which was built in1931, is divided into eight entries,each of which houses between fortyand sixty residents.The dormitory was originally takenfor military use in 1941, when theCoast Guard established a communi¬cations school. The Navy replacedthe Coast Guard a year later, andsince that time a large number ofcommunications men have been grad¬uated for active service. A temporaryship’s company will remain until theend of the quarter, but Navy super¬vision has ended, and civilians willno longer be required to show passesfor admittance. The “600” entry isnow occupied by Army pre-rned stu¬dents, but will probably be vacatedsoon.Hutchins Speaks OnRadio Round TableIn his first radio appear&nce sinceMarch, 1943, President Robert M.Hutchins will join November 26 in theUniversity of Chicago Round Tablediscussion on the question, “ShouldWe Have Universal Military Train¬ing in Peacetime?” Other partici¬pants in the program will be JohnMcCloy, Assistant Secretary of War,and Floyd W.

For scienceas such can not do more than, bycareful observation and measurement,chart the natural sequences and as¬sume that natural causality is opera¬tive in these sequences.”“There are certain tragedies oflife,” he continued, “that can not beexplained by science or philosophy.The chasm between the inner andouter world, for example, is not ex¬plained by rationalization. Our onlyexplanation is that these two worldsare united in some way beyond ourcomprehension. The solution is oneof faith.”Another of the problems unsolvedby science is the explanation of apositive evil in history.“The most rigorous idealists can notescape the necessity of doing someevil in trying to do good, as forinstance, when we destroy the citiesof France which we liberate.” We tryto escape the guilt of this tragedy ofhistory by “freezing a thin ice ofrationality” over its surface.There is no simple solution for thedespair which threatens men whenthey find chaos not only between theirworld and the world of nature, butchaos in the world of human idealsand values.“Undue optimism and the loss ofthe tragic sense of life,” Niebuhr con¬cluded, “have reduced the whole ofhuman existence to a too simple di¬mension.” Friday, November 24, 1944Shaw Play WillConclude ODPFall ScheduleConcluding its Autumn Quarterschedule, the Office of Dramatic Pro¬duction will present George BernardShaw’s, “Arms and the Man”, Decem¬ber 1, 2.

Price Five CentsCIO Economics CallsFor Federal ActionThe big question facing Americanson the domestic front is unemploy¬ment. The CIO believes, according toCIO-PAC official Raymond Walsh,that the solution is neither free en¬terprise nor government ownership.It lies in a redistribution of income,which will prevent idle capital, andtherefore idle men, and in governmentcontrol of investment, in TVA’s andin subsidized production when busi¬ness alone can’t solve the problem.Samuel Wolchock, president of theNRWDSE union, said Monday nightthat S. L. Avery of MontgomeryWards is a serious threat to democ¬racy in this country. “What democ¬racy is for Avery is autocracy for us,and what autocracy is for Avery isdemocracy for us” was his summaryof the situation. Speaking with Wol¬chock was Hank Anderson, presidentof Local 20 at Wards in Chicago. Thefight with Avery is now in the handsof the WLB, Anderson said. But ifAvery again refuses to abide by theboard’s decision, the union will de¬mand that President Roosevelt againtake over the company and this timehold on to it.

He further statedas a matter of opinion that highschools “with all their faults” arebetter qualified to educate adoles¬cents than universities “with all theirfaults”.Various members of our facultycommenting on the Snyder attackconsidered it interesting, since, asthey pointed out. Northwestern an¬nounced three years ago that it wouldaccept high school seniors beforetheir graduation, and last springNorthwestern initiated a units ofstudy system for the A.

Since, in this year’splayoffs, the first team in each leagueplays the fourth, the second thethird, and then the winners of thesetwo games play, there is a possibilitythat the fourth place holders may winthe championship.ViIn the College League, there is al¬most no possibility that a new teamwill creep into the upper bracket, butthere will be some reshuffling. Man-ley and the Commuters have a chanceof ending up tied for first place, andDuke will probably finish in third,with College House the fourth mem¬ber of the group.The probable winner both of thefirst place in the University Leagueand the touchball championship willbe the Soph Medics, who have not lostyet, and show no signs of weakening.The other places in this league mayend up with Burton “700”, the Gym¬nasts and the Phi Gams as their oc¬cupants. Two of the deciding gamesfor these places will be those betweenSigma Chi and the Gymnasts, and be¬tween Burton and the Phi Gams.Then, after these games, the mostinteresting of the season will be theactual playoffs, for the League Touch-ball championships.U High FinishesTop Soccer SeasonComing out on top with seven winsand one loss, the U High Soccer teamended a season this week which was,according to Coach Hermanson, oneof the most successful ever playedhere.

Under current plans,it is understood that taking of mealswill be incumbent upon those leasingrooms at the dormitory. The petition,bearing the signatures of 80 per centof the residents of the two civilian-occupied entries, asserted that “manystudents would find it economicallyand morally unfeasable to be placedunder such a restriction.”Dean Kimpton, Dean Phelps, andMiss Marjory Etnyre of the HousingBureau received the petitions.The document charged that to en¬force meal restrictions would be con¬trary to the University’s avowed pol¬icy of liberalism. It said further thatmost students in the third and fourthyears of the college who now occupythe two civilian entries desire to ar¬range their own finances “and be¬lieve they can best do so by them¬selves.” ’Community AttitudeVitally ImportantTwo million persons who have beenrejected or returned by the armedforces to civilian life for psychoneu¬rotic reasons will need to have toler¬ant, sympathetic, and understandingcommunities in which to readjustfrom the stresses of mental and nerv¬ous illness.That was the conclusion of threespeakers on last Sunday’s Round Ta¬ble program in discussing the “Psy¬chiatric Cost of War.” Participatingon the panel were Luther E. Wood¬ward, Field Consultant for the Na¬tional Committee on Mental Hygiene;Will O’Neill, director of the-ChicagoSun Yank Service; Dr. David Slight,Professor of Psychiatry in the De¬partment of Medicine, and LouisWirth, Professor of Sociology at theUniversity.Dr. Slight emphasized that al¬though there will be severe cases ofmental illness requiring hospital care,many cases of psychoneurosis will beable to return to civilian life and re¬adjust without full-time medical careif they are given the opportunity tohave a good job and lead a normallife. An important responsibility, hemaintained, will rest with the com¬munity and the family of returningservicemen.O’Neill revealed that one out ofevery ten persons rejected for mili¬tary service and 35 to 40 per centdischarged are released for psychiat¬ric reasons.U.T.1131-1133 E. 55th St.Complete Selectionof Beers andOther BeveragesMIDway 0524Blatz Beer S' iSSl-:'ViPage Four - ■ ' ' ■"A First Step ForwardThe problem of hour restrictions in the girls'dormitories tentatively settled last week and themore recent dispute regarding meals at BurtonCourt bring into sharper focus the over-all mat¬ter of developing a mechanism for the inter¬change of ideas between the administrativeoffices dealing with the student affairs and thestudents themselves. For many years, there hasbeen a serious lack of any such mechanism atthis University, the need for which is makingitself felt with increasing force as the Universityof Chicago experiment reaches its academic mat¬urity.In recent months we have seen that simplybecause there was no student organization orrepresentative student group to consult with orbe consulted by the Dean's Office, misunderstand¬ings developed, friction of various natures arose,and problems were created, rather than solved.It is poor administration when difficulties comeinto being primarily because there is no liasonbetween the responsible authorities and the stu¬dents themselves. However, the fault does notrest with the Dean's Office. It is not the job ofany dean to call a student group into being with¬out sufficient interest and initiative on the partof the students. As long as students continue todemonstrate apathy towards the formulation ofpolicy and of plans for specific action in matterswhich concern them directly, they can have littlejustification to gripe about unsatisfactory results.Of course, the easy question will be *‘of whatvalue or weight will be the opinion of a merestudent?". The answer isn't quite so simple.Let the students organize by any of severalmeans a council or committee or government,made up of students who are capable of makinghonest and objective appraisals of problems af¬fecting their fellow students, as well as capable ofmaking intelligent recommendations for the solu¬tions of those problems. Then, let this groupseek recognition from the Dean's Office as a bodytruly representative of the campus.Nor are the problems of dormitory regula¬tions the only proper province for the activitiesof a student council or government. There arethe matters of creation and regulation of extra¬curricular student activities, facilities for theseactivities such as a union building. Universitypromotion, advisory committees to the Facultyand Administration on such questions as curricu¬lum and construction of new housing, as well asthe aforementioned matters of dormitory regula¬tions.As an interim proposal for the solution ofthose immediate questions which have arisen,and will continue to arise from time to time, wesuggest the formation of a Dormitory Councilwhich would be, in effect, an extension of theexisting house committees. Each fioor of adormitory must have representation in the housecommittee; each house committee must haverepresentation in the Dormitory Council. In thecase of Burton-Judson Courts, the hierachy oforganization would differ slightly in that thefioor representatives would form an ‘‘entry"group, and representatives of these groups wouldmake up the house committee. The generalCouncil would include both men and women.The authority of a Dormitory Council shouldextend to the formulation of general dormitorypolicy, with the smaller sub groups given theresponsibility of enforcing the adherence to thepolicy. Such a body could not only consult withthe Dean's Office, but the Housing Bureau andthe University Business Office as well. The ex¬istence of such a council would serve as a guar¬antee for the amicable solution of the manystudent house problems, since University policy,too, could be affected by the same body. At anyrate, let the several house committees considerthe merits of the proposal and the mechanics forworking it out.

MissW. ascends the presidential throne ofthe Inter-Club Council.“Inter-Club has been very pleasedwith the way rushing has gone thisyear. Our main job is, of course, toregulate the activities of the clubsin such a way as to provide fairness for all the clubs and all the rushees.“We’d like to take this chance tothank all the club girls and all thefreshmen on campus who helped usin making the rushing season go sowell.“During the rest of the year, Inter-Club will expend its efforts in helpingvarious organizations on campus tocarry on their work by making pos¬sible a direct contact with all the clubwomen. For example, the recent WarFund Drive was carried on with thehelp of all the clubs. And we aremaking plans to help with the WorldStudent Fund and University Settle¬ment drives.Last on the calendar is our specialannual party, Inter-Club Ball, whichis being considered and we hope to beable to carry it through again thisyear.” Ellen Baum and Don ShieldsTraveling BazaarThe campus-women-in-blue-jeaiiscontroversy, tipped off by the cutLife magazine ran of two be-jeanedWellesley co-eds, has reared its headon our own home ground...In the“Letters to the Editor” column of lastFriday’s issue of Life there is a torridlittle piece by Catherine W. Harkin-son, an instructor in the College,which describes in glowing terms thevarious dishevelled outfits sported bythe University women on our owncampus. Being a Wellesley graduateherself, the point of Instructor Harkinson’s letter wasthat such sights were not peculiar to the East alone andthat therefore her Alma Mater should not shoulder allthe derision.

The firstAmericans in whose eyes the Britishtried to regain prestige in the post¬war era were those with whom theyAvere most familiar, the Americansailors. To gain the admirationwhich the sailors were so unwilling togive, the British set out on a programof building the world’s largest andmost powerful men-of-war. This useof British men-of-war to impressAmerican seamen is generally consid¬ered the chief cause of the War.Behind the ScenesAt the UniversityBy Helen PanaretosTo a student, the University con¬sists of the buildings he sees or in¬habits daily, his classrooms and theprofessors therein, his favoritehaunts and eating places, and thequarters of his particular student ac¬tivity groups.Behind the Gothic facades of thevisible University, however, an ‘invis¬ible’ University army of eight thous¬and individuals spend all their work¬ing days operating the intricatemechanism which provides for thestudents’ physical and mental well¬being, for their instruction, and theircomfort.With part of this army the studentis vaguely familiar. He accepts theirservices, without thinking very muchabout the people who perform them.In order to acquaint you with someof the less familiar offices. The Chi¬cago Maroon herewith begins a littlesight-seeing tour in print, telling you,we hope, something you didn’t knowabout the University. We make ourfirst stop at Room 205 Cobb Hall, apart of the office of the Dean of Stu¬dents; the door of which proclaims itto be the office of tlie Dissertation Sec¬retary and the Editor of Official Doc¬uments.The initiated know that both ofthese titles are vested in one person,Mrs. Kate L. Turabian, who also per¬forms a number of other functions forwhich she doesn’t have any titles. *Mrs. Turabian and her staff areresponsible for making classroom as¬signments and reservations for lec¬ture halls and seminar rooms on spe¬cial occasions; Mrs. Turabian alsodirects the compilation and editing ofthe Convocation Program and thedistribution of Convocation tickets.As Editor of Official Documents,Mrs. Turabian supervises the assimi¬lation of material from various officialsources for the University Calendar,the series of Announcements, the Stu¬dent Directory, the University Direc¬tory, the Time Schedules, and the of¬ficial Manual for Students; she alsoedits these for style.Most of her contact with studentsas a result of her role as DissertationSecretary, in which capacity her func¬tion is to “to help students who arewriting theses with matters pertainingto the style of the thesis, to recom¬mend experienced typists, and finally,to pass on the form of the completedthesis before it is bound and placed inthe Library.”Mrs. Turabian’s rigid requirementsand exacting standards result- in amuch deserved reputation for accur¬acy and perfection; and also result inher being given any editorial odd jobsthat may come up.So we say goodbye to the land ofpaste-ups, proofs, and lead pencils,as the travelogues would put it, andsail away. The British, on the other hand,were considerably irritated by ourfriendly realtions with the loose-joint¬ed French general, Napoleon BonesApart. As we completely neglected tomention in a previous chapter, thepaper dollars of the Revolutionaryperiod, called Continentals, becamecompletely valueless. Napoleon was,therefore, able to purchase a largesupply quite cheaply. He used theContinentals as the basis of his cur¬rency system. To stop this, Britaindeclared an embargo on shipments ofpaper to Europe. This is the famousJPaper Blockade laid down by Englandto break up Napoleon’s ContinentalSystem.The British were also anxious tofight the first war in the air. TheBritish had in readiness a secret wea¬pon, the carrier pigeon, also known asthe homing pigeon invented by Reu¬ters. The Americans at the same timehad the War Hawk, also known asHenry Clay, invented by Madison.The student will clearly see thatwar was inevitable. The conflict wascalled the War of 1812, chiefly be¬cause it began in 1812. A better namewould have been the Ghostly War.The chief action was the battle ofLake Eerie in which the ghostly Brit¬ish forces used the most powerfulweapon against the Americans thatthe British Empire has ever produced,the Canadian Club. It is easily seenthat these were not neutral spirits.The Americans achieved victorywhen the Canadian Club was counter¬acted by the most horrible weaponever used by this country in its rela¬tions with other nations, a powerfulline of fortifications constructed byRepublicans and known as the TariffWall.Documentary GroupChooses War FilmTo End SeriesAs fourth and last of the FictionFilms shown during the Fall Quar¬ter under the direction of the Docu¬mentary Film Group, Grand Illusiondeserves many of the tributes paid itin the past. The story, dialogue,direction, acting, and photographyall range from good to excellent withthe story and dialogue taking thelesser and photography and actingthe greater position.Sometime during the first WorldWar a German officer (played withhis usual skill by Eric von Stroheim)destroys a French plane; the occu¬pants are saved and treated not asprisoners but as honored and respect¬ed guests by that officer. The twoFrench fliers are sent from prisoncamp to prison camp until, after sev¬eral attempts at escape, they aretransferred to a fortress commandedby the same officer who broughtdown their plane.At no time during their stay at thevarious camps are they ill treated;quite the reverse: they hold a varietyshow in one, when one (Jean Gabin)is placed in solitary confinement, heis befriended by one of the Germanguards. Indeed, the French and Ger¬man officers treat one another withthe respect due their position; theyare at one with another.Still later when two of the captivesescape they are befriended by a Ger¬man woman and as they aproach theGerman-Swiss border one of themmakes a remark to the effect that theland over there “doesn't look any dif¬ferent”. The grand illusion is the il¬lusion of a divided mankind: man isone, his interests are much the same,he is sympathetic; the factors whichdivide men are factors of his makingbut not of himself. IHE CHICAGO MAROONThree WorksReceive TheirPremiere HereIn Friday’s Chamber Concert, sec¬ond of the series, Dougherty andRuzicka, the two-piano team, led offwith the charming Schubert Fantasyin F Minor, Op. 103. Interspersingquiet lyricism with more exuberantpassage work, the fantasy made oneregret that Liszt hadn’t seized uponthis rather than. The Wanderer tosqueeze out pyrotechnics. Then camethe Hindemith Sonata for Two Pianos,the usual arid, cerebral stuff. Theopening Maestoso, intended to depictchimes, was about as successful asthe bell movement of Rachmaninoff’sFirst Suite for Two Pianos.After intermission came the newStravinsky Sonata for Two Pianos.This continues his neo-classical veinrather effectively. Hardly earth-shaking music, the Sonata neverthe¬less had melodic lines over interestingharmonic structures. The last move¬ment, a largo with variations, wasparticularly noteworthy: here Strav¬insky, realizing the advantage of twoinstruments over one, produced astately movement, characterized by un¬usually rich sonorities and full har¬mony.Three works received their Chicagopremieres last Friday on the program:the Hindemith and Stravinsky Sow-.atas, and Rieti’s Second AvenueWaltzes. The Rieti Waltzes, writtenon commission from Mrs. ElizabethSprague Coolidge—like the Stravin¬sky, are rather perfunctory movementswhich sound like unhappy reminis¬cences of every other waltz that hasever been written. The second waltzsounded like a travesty on A Thousandand One Nights; the third was a facilething, tinged with Chaminade; thefifth was like Ravel’s Vaises nobles etsentimentales; the sixth and lastseemed to try to claim kinship withRavel’s La Valse.The program proper ended with theCzerny Grand Concert Fantasy etc.Indulging in variations on themes fromthree obscure operas, which includedIch bin der Schneider Kakadu, itended with the theme of the last move¬ment of the Paganini First ViolinConcerto. The kindest thing thatcould be said for the work was thatit didn’t bore on first hearing. As anencore Dougherty and Ruzicka playeda Cakewalk by Alexander Tansman,written especially for them.Considering the existence of sixBach Sonatas for Two Claviers, theMozart Sonata in D for Two Pianos,and two suites apiece by Arensky andRachmaninoff, one wonders why theprogram of last Friday leaned soheavily on the moderns. Why not apolicy of playing the classics first onthe Chamber Series?For that especally talkable fur¬lough date nothing goes quite as wellas a Smorgasbord. This, plus a re¬markably fine dinner is to be foundat Lingquest’s Dining Room, 6540South Hyde Park Blvd. A filled table The present state of commerciali¬zation of music was the subject ofMonday night’s lecture given by Mr.Cecil Smith. In the course of show¬ing how music is used in makingmoney, the difference between themusic which is intended to be com¬mercial, i. e., the “popular” type,and the music which has been madecommercial, was clearly emphasized.In the first category, Mr. Smithsaw three characteristics which gaverise to music being a commodity. Theprimary feature of popular music asa saleable article is its low intellectualcontent causing a universal appeal.This is aided by the combined pres¬sures of the radio, movies, and juke¬box which create an artificial demandand supply it. The third was thatpopular music is heavily involvedwith personalities, such as the band-Cigarettes As PrizesAt Settlement Party!Tuesday afternoon from 2:30 to5:00 the Settlement Committee of theCollege Girls Club held a card partyin the East Lounge of Ida Noyes.

This isjust the place for that long tete-a-tete over a grand dinner. leaders and crooners. It was notedthat these conditions are not neces¬sarily evil, but that they were pecul¬iarities of music as a commercialproduct.In reference to serious music, Mr.Smith continued that with the grad¬ual decline of the wealthy music pa¬tron, concert agencies grew up. Thistended to present a more sterile formof music as they necessarily choseprograms on the basis of popularityrather than upon musicality. In linewith this, the more flamboyantforms of music were accented overlieder and chamber programs. Ameri¬cans have been and still are “foreignname” hungry and the native producthas no chance. Mr. Smith concludedby showing the gradual loss of dis¬tinction between serious and popularmusic.^ How to beat asailor at tying knotsThat’s easy!
