Hutchins, Presidentof the University, at Sunday's Round Table broadcast.The topic, “Should We Have Universal Military Training inPeacetime?”, brought forth the added comment from PresidentMidway USDClosing DoorsOn December 3^ The Midway U. S. 0. club, 975 East60th Street, will close Sunday, De¬cember 3, according to an announce¬ment made today by Jeffrey R. Short, jpresident of the U. S. 0. Council ofChicago. For the past two and one-half years the club has served soldiersand sailors stationed on the Universi¬ty campus.“With the closing of the Radio andSignal Schools and ASTP units, rela¬tively few servicemen are left on thecampus,” Mr. Short explained. “It is,therefore, no longer necessary tomaintain a U. S. 0. club in this area.”“The many men and women whohave contributed to the success of theMidway U. S. 0. club are to be con¬gratulated on their achievements.” Mr.Short continued. “The University ofChicago, in addition to providing thebuilding, has cooperated to the fullestextent in helping U. S. 0. serve themen in uniform stationed in this sec¬tion of Chicago.^*Mr. Short cited the closing of theMidway U. S. 0. club as evidencethat U. S. O. is meeting the changingconditions brought on by new devel¬opments in the war. “In other areasU. S. 0. services are being expanded,according to need. The number ofoverseas clubs is constantly increas¬ing,” he said.The club house, equipped with a li¬brary, game room, kitchen, informa¬tion desk, music and writing rooms,has been visited by over 200,000 ser¬vicemen. The housing bureau has as¬sisted thousands of servicemen andtheir families in finding rooms andapartments, and sewing volunteershave altered and mended over 16,000uniforms. In addition to entertain¬ment provided at the club, Sundayafternoon parties and dances havebeen held regularly in Ida Noyes Hall.These parties, attended by servicemenand U. S. 0. junior hostesses, willcontinue throughout December.The seventeenth annual presenta¬tion of a Christmas Pageant underthe direction of Mack Evans, will begiven by the University of ChicagoChoir in Rockefeller Chapel on Sun¬day and Monday evenings, December10 and 11, at 7:30.

Professor of Applied Christian¬ity at the Union Theological Semin¬ary in New York, discussed falsedogmatism and false pragmatism inmorals.Because man has the freedom tochoose his standards of conduct,Niebuhr stated, he has constantly haddifficulty in discerning abiding moralpatterns. Throughout history therehas been conflict between those whohave tried to define permanentstandards from the standpoints of re¬ligion and philosophy under the in¬fluences of science. The tragedy intheir debates, Niebuhr asserted, hasbeen that each has discovered a halftruth. “The fact is that even the mostastute philosopher and the mostsaintly religious prophet has difficul¬ty in distinguishing between what isreally changeless and what is contin¬gent in the historical situation.”“The human mind,” he continued,“is both an instrument of universalperspectives and of partial and par¬ticular interests, and no simple linecan be drawn between the two func¬tions.”Since no answer to the problem ofjustice is ever completely free fromthe taint of faulty perspective or thecorruption of self-interest, Niebuhrconcluded, it is important that wehold to all our standards with somedegree of humility.Fingerprints WantedBy Alpha Phi OmegaFor F.B.l. RecordsIn a new move for public safety,the Alpha Phi Omega, national serv¬ice fraternity, is sponsoring a cam¬paign to have all university studentsfinger-printed during the next twoweeks.These finger-prints will be sent toWashington and placed in the F. B. I.civilian identification files. Thesefiles are not to be confused withcriminal records. They are used onlyin cases of extreme emergency.It is the ambition of Alpha Phi tocover the entire campus. They willbegin their program at noon Mondayduring which time as many facultymembers as possible will be finger¬printed. Throughout the followingtwo weeks all students will be can¬vassed.The F. B. I. has supplied the neces¬sary material and the fraternity men,trained under Mr. Lindahl, will takethe prints. The entire process con¬sumes only a few minutes. Mr. Lin¬dahl has conducted similar programsat two other universities. Hutchins: “Why should we not saythat no nation can belong to a worldsecurity organization unless it firstdoes away with universal militarytraining?”The opposite viewpoint was takenby John J. McCloy, Assistant Secretryof War, who stated that universalmilitary training in peacetime is amilitary necessity which will showthe world that the United States“means business this time”.Joining Secretary McCloy and Pres¬ident Hutchins in the Round Tablebroadcast was Floyd W. Reeves, for¬mer director of the American YouthCommission and professor of educa¬tion at the University of Chicago.Sunday’s program originated in theMitchell Tower studios of the Uni¬versity of Chicago (12:30 P.M., CWT—NBC).Professor Reeves pointed out thatso far as the arguments for universaltraining, other than military necessity,were concerned, there were, in hisopinion, many other and better waysto improve the health of the youth ofthe nation, to provide for its education,and to guard against mass unemploy¬ment.“This is an important problem uponwhich this country will have to de¬cide,” Reeves said, “and it is impor¬tant that the public know all the plansof the War Department; it is alsoimportant to discuss them widely andto discuss them now. However, I donot see why we have to make the finaldecision now or in the near future.We should wait until we see the resultsof the various international confer¬ences which are going to take place.McCloy declared that he felt that itwas “foolish” to disarm now in thehope that sometime an internationalorganization would be effective enoughto do away with the need for militarytraining.“Twice in the last twenty-fiveyears,” McCloy added, “we have beenjerked from unpreparedness into quickwars. The aggressor will not againmake the same mistake. Next time,he will strike- against this continentdirectly before we can have time toprepare ourselves. We must, there¬fore, maintain a nuclear war machine(Continued on page six)Annual Student ArtExhibit in JanuaryThe University Art Club will holdits annual stucent exhibition fromJanuary 2 to 17 in the art galleriesin Goodspeed Hall, Room 108.

Mr. Lane is thedirector of the Civic Education De¬partment of the Urban League, an or¬ganization formed to help Negroesadjust themselves to the problems ofcity life.“This is an interesting world we’reliving in,” he said, “and sometimesfrom the minority point of view it’sa bitter one. Though we seem to beable to achieve a high degree of co¬operation for war destruction, wehave so far failed to present a unifiedfront for peace and the ideals of de¬mocracy.”Mr. Lane explained that the Negroproblem in Chicago is strongly simi¬lar to the problems which developedtime after time in the city’s historyas the residents became annoyed atthe new groups and the economicthreat they presented.“The solution of the problem,” hestated, “lies in the realm of morals.It lies in being able to see our coun¬try built up of different races and re¬ligions and, instead of resenting themore recent arrivals, extending tothem the ideal of America.”4> « «Next Sunday, December 3, ChapelUnion will hold its usual Sundaynight discussion at 7:45 p.m. at 5802Woodlawn.Chapel House GroupsPlan Parties; SupperTwo Chapel House groups are hav¬ing theater parties to see “Arms andthe Man” this weekend.

Current con¬cern over the problem of how best to adapt uni¬versity education to the major needs of oursociety has resulted in a dispute over method.It was the University of Chicago which tookthe lead in finding a way out of the Americaneducational wilderness. The greatest single stepforward in the history of education has been thedevelopment of the ^College of the University.That the Chicago Plan has proven its worth inthe fifteen years of its existence is generallyconceded. That the College has demonstrated itsfinal value cannot be considered so long as theUniversity remains a courageous, forward-look¬ing, liberal institution.However, among its many critics, the ChicagoPlan finds two major divisions: those who favorstrictly functional education; i.e., vocationaltraining; and those whose ultra-conservatismbars them from thinking in terms of change ofany kind. To this second group belongs Mr.Franklyn Bliss Snyder and his NorthwesternUniversity.Northwestern University is and has been aninstitution truly representative of intellectualparalysis and mediocrity. Its only virtue hasbeen its ability to cling to outworn traditionsincluding those which never had even an originalvalue. Unless Mr. Snyder believes that theNorthwestern football team represents a newheight in American education, we fail to seewhy he should indulge in critical comparisonsbetween his university and ours, especially whenhis feeble efforts to copy certain phases of theChicago Plan are still so recent. As examples,we cite his institution of a compulsory “units ofstudy^^ system modelled closely after the Collegesurveys, the changeover of the academic termfrom semester to quarter, and an announced wil¬lingness to accept high-school students at North¬western before their completion of the senioryear. As far as the intellectual superiority ofthe more “adult’’ Northwestern students are con¬cerned, that, too, is suspect, when Mr. Snyderfinds that he cannot trust his students to publisha paper free from censorship or allow Negro stu¬dents to room in the same dormitories withwhite students.No, Mr. Snyder, come back some other daywith your fault-finding, but not until North¬western University, too, has matured.Can It Happen Here?“Each year the student council elects twomembers to each of the various faculty com¬mittees of the administration. These are essen¬tially faculty committees, but the opinions of thestudents are represented by the students electedto the committees. These appointments are us¬ually junior or senior students. The matter ofinterest in a certain committee as well as theability to serve is considered. It is deemed anhonor to be elected to one of these committees.“The committees are the Curriculum Com¬mittee, Personel Council, Athletic Budget, Bu¬reau of Child Guidance, College Bookstore, En¬tertainment, Faculty Library, Honor Committee,Housing, Graduation, Radio, Registration Pro¬cedure, Social, Student Employment, StudentHealth, Student Loan, Summer Session Extra-Curricular, Term Programs and Class Sched¬ules.” .From The Egyptian^ Southern Illinois Nor¬mal University THE CHICAGO MAROONOfficial student publication of the University of Chicago, published every Friday during theacademic quarters.

Note: In keeping ivith its policy of presenting both sides of theissue, the Chicago Maroon offers the following defense of Franklyn BlissSnyder, President of Northwesterem University and his attack upon theUniversity of Chicago's program of admitting students after the secondyear of high school.)To the Editor:It is to be expected that the emo¬tionalism which arises upon seeingone’s Alma Mater being attackedwould cause the Maroon to spring tothe defense of the Chicago system.However great this prejudice may beI suggest you push it aside and reallyexamine the merits of Mr. Snyder’sargument. »The main reason is the objectionbased on biological grounds:Anyone (even though he had but asmattering of science in a medievaluniversity) knows that a child whohas just completed the second year ofhigh school is not biologically mature.Since most of the learning offered byAmerican universities is dependentupon physical maturity, it is impos¬sible for a child to realize the benefitsof his education.Everyone knows that biological ma¬ turity is necessary if the student is toreceive the broadening influence offraternity affairs. But these childrenwould be denied this. Students of thisgroup have not the stature to playfootball. Are we then to throw overthis backbone of American education?With these two interests denied thechild, he must turn to something. Hecannot be a radio announcer becausehis voice is yet unchanged. He cannotbe a short story writer because he hasnot yet achieved the primary sex ex¬perience of a sensitive youth. He can¬not be a newspaperman because he istoo young to hang out in saloons.There is but one thing left for sucha child. He must become a scholar.Everyone knows this is direct opposi¬tion to the purpose of American educa¬tion.—John Harmon Ellen Baum and Don ShieldsTraveling BazaarInter-Fraternity Ball returned tothe formal fold after last year’s lapseand as such was much improved atleast to the eye.. .Deans Kimpton andPhelps attended with their wives, thePhelpses staying on to the bitter end...

N. E. in A.H. for bringing America into maturi¬ty. During the Post War PeriodAmerica felt its oats for the firsttime. This is therefore known as TheEra of Good Feeling.The Era of Good Feeling was thefirst great period of industrial im¬provement. Outstanding among in¬ventions of the time was a type ofliquor derived from cotton discoveredby Eli Whitney. This is extremelyimportant, as the contribution of anykind of gin to good feeling cannot beoverestimated. This also made pos¬sible the invention of Fulton’s steam¬boat, as a Hudson River boat is un¬thinkable without gin aboard.Second in importance to the cottongin was the telegraph. This was avery impractical invention at thetime, as static obscured receptionhorribly. This was mentioned in thefirst message, “What thunder hathGod brought?”Outstanding among politicians ofthe age was the great Henry Clay,Judy Do%cn$Servin' It HotThen we have an unidentified spoton an unidentified street where sevenknocked-out cats stomp for joy to thefrantic shout of, “GOOD DEAU” Ona pseudo-boogie woogie soaked street,Garrick's Down Beat Room remainsthe haven of the jump boys who wanttheir jazz hot and hectic.Here Henry “Red” Allen and hisjubilant company have held forth sosteadily and successftflly as to be¬come a fixture in the Beat Room. Hisappreciative fans take a hint fromRed’s subtle ejaculations, with spiritedechoes of “Great deal” and “Ride, Red,ride.”Requests from the audiences forsuch Allen specialties as St. JamesInfirmary, Bugle Call, and Deep Riverdemonstrate their familiarity with hisrepertoire. The relief and alternatingwith Allen has a new addition in BillOwens, a pianist recently picked upfrom Campus Inn, on 61st Street,where he had already acquired an en¬thusiastic University following. Thurs¬day nights feature Jessie Miller, agreatly unappreciated Chicago trump¬eter, backed by a mediocre band.The floorshow at Rhumboogie con¬tains a gem in Winona, “Mr. BluesHimself.” An authentic blues shouterof the Joe Turner vintage, Winonadelivers **She*8 Gone with the Wind’*,h7th Street Jive, and Mama, Mamawith a gusto that rocks the specta¬tors, and proves to be far the mostpopular entertainer in the show. Thisforcefully decries the popular fallacythat the urban Negro prefers thesuperficial ballads of the day to theauthentic blues.Lonnie Johnson, another well ap¬preciated exponent of the blues, isplaying nightly at the BoulevardLounge on 51st and Michigan. Hiswhisky-voice and talking guitar havebeen well known for more than twentyyears to the American jazz public;today he sings the modern Jelly Jellyand Fine and Mellow right along withsuch old stand-bys as See See Riderand Careless Love Blues.« »■ XiJosh White and Libby Holmanl^i’ing a program of early Americanblues and other folk music to theCivic Theatre this Sunday, whichshould be of interest to music loversIn general. Josh White’s sincere, art¬ful folk singing has long been provento have universal appeal. the perennial candidate for the Pres¬idency. Clay ran more than a lead-offman of the New York Yankees andwon less than a relief pitcher of thePhiladelphia Phillies. He ran so of¬ten that he and Thanksgiving werethe two leading November institu¬tions of the United States. Clay bas¬ed his campaigns on a monetary the¬ory known as “Clay’s AmericanSystem” whose chief provisionswere:1. Pictures of Lana Turner wereto be placed on all American papercurrency to stimulate foreign trade.Clay’s opponents argued that anybenefits accruing from this would beoffset by an immediate increase inhoarding.2. Pictures of Tyrone Power wereto be placed on one-cent postagestamps to increase mail revenues onthe grounds that twenty millionAmerican women wanted to play postoffice with Tyrone.3. Pictures of Betty Grable wereto be placed on two-cent stamps be¬cause fifty million American menwanted to pres her to their lips andhave her stay here.4. Everything was to have a tariff.There was to be a tariff of manufact¬ured goods, of raw materials, ofabominations, etc.The rest of the program was lessdefinite. It was so vacillating thatClay’s followers adopted the famousslogan, “Swing and Sway with HenryClay”. There was one flaw in theointment, however. Even the Demo-cfats knew that this whole businesswas anachronistic and therefore im-posible. Clay was therefore defeated,causing Andrew Jackson, Democracy,National Banks, etc.Lorraine McFaddenBox OfficeTHE PRINCESS AND THE PI¬RATE . . . Bob Hope is featured inthis classic of whimsy having its mid¬west premiere in Chicago. He is theepitome, the quintessence of Hope inhis most recent hilarious role. Thepicture is completely mad, and Hope’snonsense stands out in high reliefagainst the other characters, who allstooge for him. The seventeenth-cen¬tury setting is perfect for his ana¬chronistic waggishness, and the colorand action of this highly-overratedhistorical period is exaggerated tocreate a riotous background for Hope,the fast gag man, to do some of hisbest clowning.Virginia Mayo plays the princess,who has run away from her palaceto follow her own bent. She meetsBob Hope, a travelling (but rapidly)actor named Sylvester, on board aship bound for Jamaica. The ship istaken by pirates led by The Hook(Victor McLaughlin) but Hope en¬gineers an escape for them aided byan idiot, appropriately baptized Feath-erhead (Walter Brennan). Fromhere on the two of them get in and outof pickles until the finish, which is aguaranteed 110 volt shock. Don’t letanyone tell you about It before yousee it yourself.Among the remaining cast areWalter Slezak as the oily governorof an amusingly violent town, andthe Goldwin girls, of course. No onebut Hope has any personality to speakof. He is the motivating force, theshining light, the raison d’etre forthis movie, in truth. A tremendousegotist, a cowardly braggart, he mag¬netically draws lead lines from theirvarious tongues to quip on. And assuch, one accepts him, if a Hope fan.If not, it would be foolish to see themovie. The Sydney and Julia Teller collec¬tion of copper and brass, recentlypresented as a gift to the University,will be exhibited by the RenaissanceSociety from December 3 through De¬cember 16, Cecil Smith, president ofthe society, has announced.Members and guests of the Renais¬sance Society will meet Mr. and Mrs.Teller at the opening of the exhibiton December 3 from 3:00 p. m. until6:00 p. m.

Mr. Teller willbe on hand daily during the hours toexplain the background of the differ¬ent items in the collection.Another part of the collection, con¬sisting of the largest group of minia¬tures in brass and copper in the world,is on display in the cases in HarperLibrary, opposite the College Library.Ahe KrashAnd So To PressChicago’s vast stockyards arefamous the world over—famous formass production of meat, notoriousfor filth and squalor and grindingpoverty. Along a side street in thearea embraced by the stockyards isa rather drab, non-ostentatiousthree-story building. The addressreads 4630 McDowell Ave., one of themost challenging locations in the his¬tory of the never-ending battle withpoverty.Fifty years ago this week a paradeof underfed, under-privileged littleboys began beating a trail to thataddress. At first that house was justa flicker in the murk of the stock-yards area. Then it grew to a smallblaze and today it it a white-hotshaft of light piercing darkness andbringing new hope into the lives ofmany who have dispaired of evenbread to eat and a place to sleep.Mary E. McDowell, for whom astreet and a building are named, aquiet enough memorial, was a never-tiring and far-seeing social worker.I use that phrase — social worker—with caution for “Fighting Mary”McDowell was more than that. Shewas a mother, a prophet, a politician.She fought tooth and nail for moneyand more money for her boys; forhousing and sanitation where therewere only shanties and squalor; forgymnasiums and playing fields wherepreviously there had been only tene-ements and fields overgrown withweeds.This week they’re lighting the 50thcandle at the settlement. The Uni¬versity has for many years suppliednot only a good share of the necessaryfunds, but the manpower and initia¬tive as well. The center has servedas an outlet for some of the socialschemes of the University’s studentbody. In recent years, however, par¬ticularly the past few, interest hasskidded downwards. Chicago stu¬dents no longer are the red-hot en¬thusiasts they once were. And thatis not as it should be.This week, in the midst of itsGolden Anniversary celebration, itmight be well for 5,090 persons topay a visit. Such “Who’s Who”‘name folk’ as Upton Sinclair, whobased his book “The Jungle” on thework at the settlement; Thomas G.Masaryk, first president of Czecho-clovakia; and Margaret Culkin Ban¬ning, the noted author, have been ex¬tended invites to come back to the“campus” and to the celebration.Happy birthday. Settlement House!A Guide To The BefuddledGeorge Hilton Teller CollectionOf Copper, Brass LETTERS TO THE EDITORPage FlvTo the Editor:I should like to suggest that thewriter of the fallacious letter thatappeared in the Maroon last weekexamine very closely the forth¬coming issue of Carillon. That, I amsure, will more than answer his letter.The staff of Carillon worked, inproducing this issue, under many un¬fortunate hindrances, and the staffwas composed of persons who hadnever before worked together. Theyhad, however, one common aim, andthat was to produce the best Carillonto date. The staff was, upon its ap¬pointment, made aware of the “im¬mense difficulties of working with theDirector of Student Publications.”After working on the magazine a fewweeks, however, it was very clear thatno difficulties of this kind did exist.Mr. Schrieber was very cooperative inall matters of the magazine’s businessthat concerned him. He exercised nodictatorial powers on the magazine,either in the matter of selection ofmaterial or in the mechanical work ofproducing it.And, for the “one” that wonderswhat the editors have been doing, Iheartily suggest that he examine thenew issue; it speaks much more tri¬umphantly than I possibly could.Yours very truly,Sidney L. BurksTo the Editor:There seems to be agreement amongnew students here on campus that“school spirit” is lacking. Your com¬plaint that participation in extra-cur¬ricular activity is weak, seems to bejustified. But many of us feel that some answer to your complaint isnecessary.We, who travel daily back and forthto the University, find it difficult toparticipate in the usual social activ¬ities of college life. The will may bethere; yet conditions seem to prohibitany but the most superficial participa.tion in any activities after schoolhours.As a new student in the college, twosummers ago, I felt that I was enter¬ing a new phase of experience out ofwhich I hoped to gain every possiblebenefit, scholastic and otherwise. Ac¬cordingly, I joined the dramatic group,and the newspaper of the first twoyears of the College. I looked forwardto mixers, house-parties, club meetings,and many other of the events plannedso well for people of conventional highschool age at the University. Almostwithout exception, these activities werescheduled for 8:00 p.m. or later; andto attend them, I would either have tospend approximately three hours trav¬elling home and back to school again,or spend five hours waiting here oncampus. When the scheduled affairwas over; when the Hutchins Landhad been reverently touched, the punchtasted, the dances danced, the “mix¬ing” finished, students living on cam¬pus went home, fairly satisfied. Butwe commuters had to break awaybefore the fun had really started. Ofcourse, many activities must neces¬sarily take place in the evening, butif more movies, mixers, card parties,and other events were scheduled forthe afternoon, attendance would prob¬ably be considerably and enthusiastic¬ally upped]Nina KreloffBetty StearnsSidelights on FootlightsOf the three ballet companies extantand operating in the United States,the Ballet Theatre is by far the mostsuccessful artistically, as was admir¬ably illustrated by their opening per¬formance last Friday night at theCivic Opera House. So much talentlies within the realm of the BalletTheatre, that it must be a mysteryto more than one why Tamara Tou-manova was imported specially fromHollywood. Her appearance in “Princ¬ess Aurora”, unfortunately, alongwith a few others, was unexciting andfrankly disappointing. As a matterof fact,* the most delightful portionof this ballet was the Bluebird Varia¬tion given by John Kriza and RosellaHightower, the former of whom sub¬sequently entranced his audience inthe new sailor comedy, “Fancy Free.”With music by Leonard Bernstein,and Choreography by Jerome Robbins,who incidentally flew to Chicago justto take part in the Friday perform¬ance, “Fancy Free’ must remain themost striking and original additionto the company’s repertoire. It con¬cerns three sailors on leave, lookingfor women, whom they find in the per¬sons of Muriel Bently, Janet Reed,and Shirley Eckl. Each in the courseof the evening’s entertainment, offersa variation to their ladies, all of whichare fascinating, but the third per¬haps most artfully done.Nora Kaye was arresting as usualin Anthony Tudor’s “Lilac Garden.”Mr. Tudor in this English school,with his partial use of modem dancetechnique is apparently intent on asingle approach, and all his worksbear an amazing resemblance to eachother. He has created a type, buthow influential this will be on thefuture history of ballet is yet to beseen.The closing work of the evening,“Graduation Ball”, was a recostuming and general reuvenation of GeorgeBalanchine’s composition of someyears ago. The slight tale of younglove at a Victorian ball serves asbackground for another ballet of di¬vertissements, wound more closely to¬gether than is usually the case.The Ballet Theatre is offering oneof the most interesting and variedprograms that it has been our pleasureto witness in recent years. It seemstoo bad that in the midst of this pro¬ductive and novel season, with sucha spring of potential stars as NoraKaye, Nana Gollner, Janet Reed, andRosella Hightower, recourse was takento Hollywood. Miss Toumanova is afalse and unnecessary drawing card.—B. J. S.* * *Ballet Theatre’s orchestra, I ampleased to report, is definitely im¬proved over last season’s collection ofpots and pans which passed for anorchestra. Evidentally an adequaterehearsal had been held for FancyFree, Lilac Garden, and GraduationBall. Why Princess Aurora shouldalways be treated like a step-childin this respect puzzles me. Somethingas standard as this always gets slip¬shod accompaniment. Chicago audi¬ences being what they are, however,wrong notes in the horns and falseintonation in the oboe will always getby. Ballet is the field day of thepseudo-intellectual, especially at theUniversity.Primary interest musically shouldcenter in the Bernstein score. He hasproduced a piece of functional musicwhich, wonder of wonders, functions.The idiom is swing, jazz being deadsince 1936. The harmony is neo-primi¬tive, to match the action on the stage.The music is derivative (out of Gersh¬win), but it contains restraint so asnot to advertise the fact.—W.R.W.Fag* SillTHIS SPACE RESERVED FORCARSON PIRIE ^COn & CO.

CLAIR HOTEL ROOF • CHICAGO College CagersOpen Tonight,Play HarvardTonight at 8:30 p. m. the U-Highsenior basketball team opens its sea¬son, playing Harvard School for Boysat Harvard’s gymnasium, 4731 EllisAvenue. Being the first competitionwhich the boys will have met thisyear, it should prove to be a real testof U-High strength, for Harvard isreputed to have one of the strongestteams in the Private School League.The game will undoubtedly be a thril-ler, for U-High and Harvard aretraditional rivals and the Maroonswill be out to avenge the 41-38 defeatwhich they suffered at Harvard’shands last year.The senior team, which is compos¬ed of boys in the first two years ofthe College, lacks experience. Return,ing from last year’s squad, which tiedfor second place in the private schoolleague, are only two veterans, let-terman Julian Hanson and Bill Gray.Other talent which Coach Joe Stampfwill probably use includes Jim Mor¬gan, Dave Blumberg, Bob Schallman,Norm Heffron, Bruce Shimberg, Jer¬ry Reevin, Walt Goedecke, ChuckParian, Jim Philon, and Johnny Dav¬ies.Stampf, who is entering his secondseason as coach of the U-High bask¬etball team, will be remembered bysport fans as the star center of the1939, ’40, and ’41 University basket¬ball team. In 1941, Stampf was BigTen Conference high scorer, set astanding record of eight-two consecu¬tive free throws, and was chosen all¬conference and all-American center.Although it is too early in the seasonto make predictions, mentor Stampfbelieves that, “if the boys work hardwe should have a very successfulseason.’’Hutchins.,,(Continued from page one)to maintaih our national security, forwe cannot tell who will strike andwhen.’’President Hutchins disagreed withMcCloy on the effectiveness of a yearof military training in preparing asoldier to meet battle conditions.“This question of universal militarytraining,’’ Hutchins concluded, “is ofthe first importance and requires ex¬tensive discussion. I believe that ac¬tion should be postponed until theshape of international organization isclear. I also question whether univer¬sal military training may not be apositive handicap to such a programof world organization. We all agree,however, that the proposal must standor fall by its military necessity. Ifa very large army is a military neces¬sity, after the war, then universalmilitary training is the democraticway to do it.’’Three to DebateFDR’s TVA ProposalOn NBC RoundtablePresident Roosevelt’s proposal ofseven new “TVA’’ projects will be thesubject of discussion on the Universi¬ty Round Table broadcast Sunday,December 3 at 12:30 p. m. over theNBC networks.Two of the three speakers who willdiscuss “Seven New ‘TVA’s’? ” areSenator James E.

Using a start¬ing lineup of Raby, Sears, Sharp,Brokken and Kuhn, the team was ableto more than hold its own.
