During this series,Niebuhr, an Alexander H. Whitevisiting professor, has treated thetopics of changing and unchanging el¬ements irf man’s relation to nature,changing and unchanging elements inman’s search for meaning, false dog¬matism and false pragmatism in mor¬als, the changing breadth and perma¬nent depth of man’s communal task,and fulfillment and frustration in hu¬man existence.In discussing the last topic, Niebuhragain empahsized that man as a crea¬ture of nature, is subject to its neces¬sities and bound by its limits. Becausehe is a free spirit, he rises in con¬sciousness and mind above the limitsof nature. He remembers the past andthus makes history, which is distin¬guished from nature by its cumula¬tive effects, by the human capacity tobuild the present on the past and the7(X) Donate WhorlsTo Alpha Phi OmegaFingerprint DriveCompleting their fingerprintingcampaign today, the Alpha Phi Ome¬ga national service fraternity has suc¬ceeded in taking prints of 700 ormore students over a two-week period.In an effort to cover the entirecampus. Alpha Phi boys worked onthe first floor of Cobb Hall for oneweek and outside Hutchinson Com¬mons-during the second.Student members cooperated admir¬ably at the beginning of the campaign,but interest has lagged for the lastfew days, as is evidenced by the factthat the one-thousand mark has notyet been reached. There is still timefor students to add their prints toF.B.I. civilian files this afternoon whenthe boys will be on duty for the lasttime at the Commons. These files areused only in .case of accident or em¬ergency.Christmas seals are also being soldat the Commons by the same group.G.I. Bill of RightsTabled for SundayThe effect of the G.I. Bill of Rightson postwar higher education will bediscussed by speakers on the Univer¬sity Round Table, this. Sunday, at12:30 p.m. The topic is “The G.I. Billof Educational Rights.”Speakers on the program will be:James B. Edmondson, Dean of theSchool of Education, University ofMichigan; H. V. Stirling, rehabilita¬tion director of the Veterans Admini¬stration; and Joseph J. Schwab, As¬sistant Professor of Biological Sci¬ences in the College of the University.The discussion will center on theprovisions of the G.I. Bill of Rightsand their relation to liberal education.The participants will give their opin¬ions as to the adequacy of the pro¬visions and suggest any revisions orchtanges they feel should be made. future on the present. The source ofultimate frustration in human exist¬ence, according to Niebuhr, lies in thefact that the highest creative powersof human culture are finally subjectto the contingencies and caprices ofnature. This frustration, he feels, isan unchanging problem of human ex¬istence.Throughout history man has triedand failed to solve this problem. Class¬ical idealism and oriental mysticismsought to rise through the mind to therealm of eternal forms. But since itannuls the process of fulfillment,idealism destroys the tension which is“the stuff of history’V At the otherextreme, the classical imturalists dis¬avowed all human ambitions, hopes,and fears which rose above the levelof natural necessity. This strategy,he continued, also annuled human pos¬sibilities; for the hopes and fears ofmen which rise above natural neces¬sity are the “very stuff of human ex¬istence”.“The reason why modem cultureassumed that it had found the answerto the problem of human existencewas that it discovered In the cumula¬tive process of history itself a con¬stant fulfillment of human ambitionsand hopes which seemed to negate theidea of ultimate frustration. The most(Continued on page two)Future StrategyLast Sunday’sSermon SubjectA threefold stategy to meet theuncertain future was proposed byReinhold Niebuhr, theologian and vis¬iting professor at the University, inhis Convocation Sunday sermon inRockefeller Memorial Chapel Sunday.The audience included students whoare being graduated today.Lest man be overcome with fear.Dr. Niebuhr said, he must know thepast and present so well that what¬ever light it sheds upon the futuremay be available to him; he musttrust in “providence” or the largerpattern of life which transcends hu¬man power and sight; and he mustdevelop a detachment from self-in¬terest.“Trust in ‘providence’ frequentlydegenerates in modern life into anarid determinism and fatalism,” Dr.Niebuhr said. “Actually there is al¬ways a place in history for humanfreedom; yet also there are vast pat¬terns and forces which are beyondour control.“Detachment from self interest issometimes revealed in the sense ofhumor at its best. It may seemstrange and yet it is not so strangethat a humorous self-detachment isnot far from the most ultimate kindof religious self-detachment.“The uncertainties of the futureare multiplied for this generation.We are living in one of the greatestrevolutionary periods of history; andboth the perils and the possibilitiesof the future are so great that we aretempted to anticipate the future inalternate moods of optimism and des¬pair.” ROBERT M. HUTCHINSProf. F. B. AgardHere From PrincetonFor ASTP Oral StudyAs a result of the speed-up methodsof teaching language developed underthe Army Specialized Training Pro¬gram, the University has undertakena study and appraisal of the intensiveoral techniques. To facilitate thisinvestigation. Professor Frederick B.Agard, formerly of the Departmentof Modern Languages at PrincetonUniversity, has been appointed to thestaff of the Education Department.He has been granted a two and a halfyears’ leave of absence from Princeton.The project, entitled “Investigationof the Teaching of a Second Lan¬guage” is sponsored by the Schoolof Education and financed by theRockefeller Foundation.The emphasis of the Army programis on the spoken, rather than thewritten language. From the spokenlanguage the transfer to reading andwriting is believed to be more effectivethan in the traditional grammar-read¬ing approach.Agard was chosen to take part inthe study because of his work on asurvey to ascertain what applicationof the new method could be made topost-war civilian language teaching.Special GraduationFor Divinity SchoolThree candidates for the degree ofMaster of Arts will march down theaisle of Bond Chapel this noon atthe Divinity School Convocation Chap¬el Service.

Tension betweenour ideals and the ambiguous realitiesof history explain why modem culturealways involves iteslf in the most in¬credible of all beliefs, the belief in aheaven on earth, utopia.“The faith of modem man in his-* torical fulfillment is thus too simple”,he concluded. “A profounder faithwould recognize a greater element ofmystery in the relation of the timeprocess to the eternal and of the rela¬tion of evil to good. It would admitthat man is called upon to create in aprocess in which he is himself not thearch-creator. Such a humility wouldnot rob us of the impetus to fulfillour obligations in history. It wouldenabel us to work without illusion ordispair.” Feigin Awarded$250 Prize ForHebrew EssaysSamuel I.

This is a situation ofrevolution itself.“It is obvious that at first the civilmust be made secondary to the mil¬itary until the military has finishedthe job of cleaning out the enemy.After that, I predict that there willbe a whole series of governments untileach country gets one that will stick,”he added.Reinhold Niebuhr, Professor ofChristian Ethics at Union TheologicalSeminary, added that, in his opinion.Prime Minister Churchill’s stand onGreece was an evidence of “some ofthe apprehension” of those countrieswhich are being “squeezed” by thegreat power of the United States, onone side, and by Russia, on the other.“The situation in Greece,” Niebuhrsaid, “ is not so much a problvn ofthe relation between big powers andsmall ones, but of the relations ofthe big powers among themselves.The failure of these big powers toagree upon a basic policy for liberatedcountries is resulting in friction inGreece, Belgium, and Italy where thebig powers are tempted to interferein internal politics, each in his owninterest. This lack of policy appearsto the people in those countries likea conservative policy, whereas it ac¬tually is evidence of no policy.”Participating with Pares and Nie¬buhr in the Round Table broadcastwas Antonin Basch, former indus¬trialist in Czechoslovakia and nowProfessor of Economics at ColumbiaUniversity.Basch emphasized the fact that itwould be “wise” to extend the rightsof the small nations, and he called forthe creation of some sort of organ¬ization of the small European powersafter the war to represent those coun¬tries in the world security organiza¬tion.“In the same manner in which thethree great powers are maintainingspheres of influence as a second lineof defense,” Basch declared, “in caseof failure of the security organiza¬tion, so are the small nations hookingon to a big power in order to retreatin case of security organizationfailure.”Sir Bernard pointed out that therewill be no “final peace” without thegreat powers, but warned againstagain allowing “a monstrous thing”like the Munich sell-out of Czecho¬slovakia. There must be no “frag¬mentation” but an “indivisible” peacethis time, he said« As for the peacein Europe, economic cooperation is TheologianTells MaroonAbout WorldIt was not really an interview whenI went to see Reinhold Niebuhr lastSaturday morning. You do not inter¬view Dr. Niebuhr. You talk to himand he talks to you. Then you thinkon what has been said.I had made the appointment withhim after the Burton Court SeminarThursday evening. When I arrived atthe Quadrangles club I was ten min¬utes early, so I went over my neat lit¬tle list of typed questions. Soon itwas 11:30 and I told Lee Ferre at thedesk that I had the appointment. Hecalled Dr. Niebuhr and I was on myway up to his room when I met himcoming down. We went up to hisroom and started talking. He had hispipe and I, strangely enough, had cig¬arettes.After the first few minutes I forgotabout my neat little list and used theback of the paper for notes. What fol¬lows is a resume of a conversationwhich lasted for more than an hour.He was pleased to return to theUniversity. He had come here for thelast 18 years to speak in the Chapelevery January, so he was no stranger.His audiences also pleased him. Theywere larger and seemed more respon¬sive. The subject matter of his lec¬tures will be the material for his nextbook, “Changing and Abiding Ele¬ments in the Human Situation”.For a while we rambled. Then ourconversation swung around to thepresent day—the war—the peace—and society in general.Neither of us said anything aboutthe horror of the war, or the suffer¬ing. The causes interested him. ThenI asked him what he thought of Eng¬land’s action in Greece and he saidthat “what Churchill is doing is al¬most hysteria”.England, he said, has begun to playgames. Her empire is of the utmostimportance to her leaders and theirfears are manifested in the recent actof passion. America and Russia alsowant to play. All of them forgettingto realize that they must have themost unity possible to defeat Hitler.From here we went to the plans fora world organization. The problemsfacing such plans are enormous, butmust be dealt with if we are to averta third world war.What about the colonies of Amer¬ica, I asked? With a common enemyand common interests for the good ofthe individual states—they united. Dowe not have a common enemy—War?And our interests, are they not gener¬ally the same?True, he answered, but “the fear ofanother war is not yet as potent as(Continued on page eightits most important aspect. Pares con¬cluded.“At the present time, the greatpowers are held together too much,”Niebuhr concluded, “by the fear of acommon foe. That cement of unitywill disappear with the defeat of thefoe. They must even now begin towork for mutual security and instru¬ments of common agreement or bedrawn into a struggle of trying to getadvantage over each other in the lib¬eration of small nations.”UniversityNational Bank3^checkpian PAY-AS-YOU-GO offers a low costchecking plan which is easily understood.Its only cost to the depositor is FIVECENTS for each check written and FIVECENTS for each item of deposit.UNIVERSITY NATIONAL BANK1354 East SSth StreetMember Federal Reserve SystemMember Federal Deposit insurance Corporation - THE CHICAGO MAROON Page ThreeCritic Harmon Sees Need ForUniversity Literary MagazineA critic has, in the main, twochoices when he approaches a work ofliterature. He may give either anhonest evaluation of the work, sac¬rificing his personal opinions as muchas possible and substituting in theirstead, universals,—or he may makea purely personal test of the work.This last presupposes that he is anaverage man, of average intelligence,with average experience and back¬ground. Therefore his criticism willbe at best, average. Last week, the“Letters To the Edjtor Column” ofthe Maroon treated us to such a dis¬play. “I’ll admit I’m dumb,” screamedthe critic, “but there are lots of oth¬ers.’’ (The men who run the soapoperas would love this boy!)We can all agree with his statementand perhaps enlarge it by insertingthe noun, lazy. However, if he con¬siders his raving as a just appraisalof the magazine, there is no room foragreement.No critic can be entirely wrong,not even this one (although he comesclose). His attack upon the realismin Charles Einstein’s Beach Party isa valid one, to a degree. Einstein hasimproved since his previous attemptin Carillon. His plot is well tiedtogether and even the chance accidentis not too disturbing. The charactershave become individuals rather,thantypes and consequently suffer the emo¬tions of real people. However effectivethis realistic approach has been, itis questionable whether the use ofphotographic realism is truly effective.In his desire for exactness, Einsteinhas forced many extraneous detailsinto the story which halt the move¬ment of the plot and weaken the de¬velopment of Hie characters. Thelong description of the sky in theopening section of the story is anexample of this. And will these real¬ists ever realize that the adolescentWar Stamp SalesNear $900 MarkHeaded by Muriel Newman, theWar Stamp Committee has sold atotal of $895.95 worth of stamps thisquarter. Of this, $760.60 was soldby the Mandell Hall Committee, and$134.45 by the Ida Noyes Committeeunder Jean Hirsch.Top seller for the quarter wasSonny Eger, who in one hour sold$37.80 in stamps. Second was Dor¬othy King with $23.45 to her credit.Other high ranking sellers were: Vir¬ginia Aplon, Ann Flack, Violet Pack¬ard, Lee Nudelman, Aljce Sheehan,Cissie Lagar, Pete Moon and JeanFrye, Diane Senour, Aileen Baron,Rita Handelsman, Barbara Cromer,and Carol Grey.Girls interested in serving on thecommittee during the winter quartershould contact Muriel Newman. female may possess something otherthan “firm young breasts?” Or is,this too cruel?The clown-critic bemoans the lackof a coherent plot in Ruth Weiss’scharacter study, Ollie, but the plotdoes exist. The question is whetherthe plot is an integral one and herethe fault lies. The continuation ofthe story beyond the point where hermother decides to leave seems out ofkeeping with the previous develop¬ment and the accident of the stormand the Senecan ending (despite thefact that efforts are made to force aunion with the previous sections)seem too strained and unnecessary.In the matter of style, there is aconscious attempt at sensuous, exactimagery which often leads ^he Authorastray. In a desire for the synthesisbetween the object and another ap¬parently unlike object, we find thesame self-consciousness, a strainingwhich impedes the progress of thestudy. But it is this same effort whichis responsible for the best of her work,such phrases as those used to describethe tubercular Helda, “The beadty ofspring consumed her.” However,there should be some equation betweenthese and the rest of the story.The Collectors^ by Robert Hovlidpresents another problem of the real¬istic writer. When a writer seeksto tell his tale in the language ofsailors, he should stick as closely tothat as possible. Hovlid does not,but frequently slips in phrases be¬longing to the author or other authorsso all consistancy of character is lost.He also interrupts the progress of thenarrative with the storm incident (aseries of vivid descriptions in thetheme-eye pattern). Although this issupposed to heighten the effect of theconclusion of the story, it does notand there is a question of whether itwould have been worth while to makesuch an effort in any event.I agree with the confessor-criticthat H. Allen Maddock’s little piecewas not funny. I did not even find itwell written. While Gerhard Kra¬mer’s article. Prelude for Our Timerepresents a step in the right direc¬tion, it is questionable whether anearly straight news article has anyplace in such a small magazine.Of the poetry (our dumb critic’s de¬sire for the unrefined didactic none¬theless) Espey Voulis’ translation is•the best. I cannot vouch* for thecorrectness of the rendering from theGreek itself, but the end product,which is after all our chief concern,displays Miss Voulis’ usual firm, crispline which adds to the movement ofsuch a poem of elevated emotion.Transfusion, by Barbara KendallBrown, shows the same lack of syn¬thesis which is present in Ollie. Theimages have not been forced into aunity with either the 'objects they are supposed to elaborate or the poemas a whole. Lassor Blumenthal’s at¬tempt at satire. The Personality Kid,reaches out for strange imagery witha heavy hand and results in beingneither unified nor effective. It doesin fact, become the same type ofsophomoric critique as the letter whichprompted this article.Despite the formulae which precedethem in the best Esquirish mannerand the linoleum cuts which are alsoout of keeping with the makeup ofthe magazine, the stories are worthreading if only to discover an aware¬ness of the world which had not hitCarillon previously. However, thepoetry (with the exception of MissVoulis) is of the same importance asthe fillers. Perspective and In Retro¬spect.But what else can one expect ofCarillon^It is not a top literary magazinenor will it be. Several successfulwriters on cainpus would submit theirwork to a magazine which had higherstandards and enjoye-1 a better reputa¬tion and circulation than the pocketsized example of the creative effortsof the University.However, Carillon has probabiy ful¬filled its purpose—not of being amouthpiece for “the best that isthought and said anywhere” or evenat the University of Chicago—but thebest that is thought and said in theC!ollege. —John HarmonAs •dhstttted hi IHftftHTVBTheyVe the dash, the swagger,the slick good looks to makea girl’s heart TOsitivelyskip a beat.

The writer blames *‘theopposition created by campus politics, the limit¬ed funds with which it has to work, the generallack of interest, the fact that Carillon is notan established publication on campus, that it isonly three years old, and is . . . with almostcomplete lack of support by contributors.''A Student Government NeededWe agree with this view of the situation,except for the reference to alleged campus pol¬itics (as our correspondent states, there is prac¬tically no interest—much less opposition). Butall the other circumstances cited are more prop¬erly symptoms than-causes—symptoms of a gen¬eral lack of interest in all extra-curricular ac¬tivities, and of a misguided policy on .the part ofCarillon. N'o immediate measures can be takento remedy the apathy on the part of the greatmajority of students toward anything beyondiheir studies and their petty social affairs.Further, any long-term steps cannot be takenby the staff of Carillony but must arise from themass of students. A student government, givenjurisdiction over activities by students and Ad¬ministration, by determining a general, coherentpolicy in this area, might well be able to revitalizethe organizations on campus and to encouragethe formation of new ones, to be fitted into anintegrated whole.Suspend Publication NowBut the vicious circle by which poor qualityengenders ’ lack of interest (and, in turn, lowcirculation and advertising revenue), and lackof interest prevents any really substantial im¬provement in quality, may be broken now. Car¬illon* s major fault—one for which the presentstaff is not necessarily responsible—is that it hasdrawn its contributors almost exclusively fromthe College; at first as a matter of policy, nowbecause writers at higher levels refuse to assoc¬iate with a magazine of its low calibre. As aresult, Carillon*s contributors, although consci¬entious, have lacked the experience necessary forsuccessful creative writing. To remedy this sit¬uation, we recommend that publication of Car¬illon be suspended at once by the present staffand the name dropped, and that a new literarymagazine be organized, primarily by studentsat higher levels than the College, who will estab¬lish high standards and maintain them.Reward Good WritingWe realize that the establishment of anysuch magazine may still further handicap young¬er writers from having their work published.To remedy this, a special section might be setaside for contributions from promising, thoughless experienced, writers. It must be recognized,however, that a writer cannot learn his craftmerely, or even principally, by having his workpublished. He learns by an arduous process ofhard work, rejections, and self-scrutiny. Wewill not have a literary magazine worthy ofthis University until we have one which willrecognize and reward the fruits of such a pro¬cess, and not act as an experimental laboratoryfor those who have not yet persevered through it.

He has substitutedridicule for criticism; there is not inhis letter one constructive comment.If his aim was to achieve humor, hehas failed. Nothing that is ridiculousis humorous, and the laughter it cre¬ates is ersatz laughter.I won’t defend either my story orany of the other contents of Carillon;if Mr. Frisbie’s remarks had been validas criticism there might be some rea¬sonable point in doing so—under thecircumstances there is none. But Iwould like to ask the charming gentle¬man if he realizes just what Carillonis up against. I’m quite sure hedoesn’t. I’m quite sure he has failedto take into consideration the opposi¬tion created by campus politics, thelimited funds with which it has towork, the general lack of interest,the fact that Carillon is not an es¬tablished publication on campus, thatit is only three years old and isattempting, sincerely, with almostcomplete lack of support either bycontributors or interest to accomplishsomething important. I stronglydoubt that Mr. Frisbie’s motives inwriting his classic epistle could equalthat attempt either in sincerity orconstructive aim.Most of those with whom I havediscussed the magazine, (and I hastento say that they were all neutralreaders), were acquainted with formerissues and all felt^ that a great dealof improvement was evident in thisissue. If growth is indicated, then,surely. Carillon will continue to grow,particularly if it receives some realsupport and persons like Mr. Frisbieconfine their remarks to the less emo¬tional and more constructive type.Yours truly,Ruth WeissCollege-4Dear Fred:You can see from the inexpensivegrade of this stationery that I ampoverty-stricken, that I have lost thelast tattering tatter of my pride, thatI am humbled.

After going through the usualcustomary greetings and groans overthe annual football game, I huddled’round the bar with a few other col¬lege men. As my home town is nearChampaign, Illinois, all of the fellowsare attending the University of Illi¬nois.As the “buck” and the beers beganto pass, we started talking about thedifferences between the two colleges.It was surprising to me how little thestudents really knew about our Uni¬versity. To state it in plain words:“I hear they don’t have football atthe University of Chicago.” Afterthat “bit” they knew nothing aboutour school—except, naturally, that wehave a more or less brilliant, youngPreisdent. H—! they didn’t evenknow that our brain-trust was astrict isolationist. After telling themthis, they said that their presidentpractically invited them into his par¬lor. (I wonder what Mr. Hutchins’parlor looks like—in all probability,it’s a re-converted library!) Natur¬ally, I began bragging about our fineeducational system and, believe it orno, they were immensely interested.They pumped me dry. They couldn’tquite understand our comprehensiveexamination system. “What? Nocredits! It’s unbelievable!”Then I began listening to them. Inthe first place they were dissatisfiedwith their studies. In short, theyweren’t learning anything new. Onefellow, who is a brillant—if such aterm can be used—student, is takingSpanish, College Algebra, Englishand Hygenics. He said that he hadn’tstudied over two nights a week sincehe had entered school. He also saidthat he had done little reading exceptfrom his textbooks. After a fewgroans and wishing I were drunk, Iexplained that we did a little outsidereading in Soc. Sci. and a few othercourses and that we used syllabi in¬stead of textbooks. They really likedthe idea of using a syllabus.To conclude, the students under the(Continued on page seven) Ellen Baum and Don Shield$Traveling BazaarTwo revisions of previous storiesseem to be called for this week.One has to do with the projected revival of Blackfriar8...It seems ameeting of the board was held inconsultation with Nels Fuqua, thedean of student activities at the Uni-versity, for the last few thousandyears... The Order of Blackfriarscame out of it split into two groups... there are those who believe thatany performance of Blackfriars, stu-dent-written or not, would benefit thecampus if only to revive the tradition.. .The other groupholds that no show should be performed unless it cancome up to the previous high standards; and since thatpossibility isn’t evident for this year, the whole idea ofrevival should be dropped until more than just a tokenperformance can be given... And the latter attitude ap¬pears to be prevailing, at least among those who havethe final word... Of course, there is the further and muchmore remote possibility that perhaps material could stillbe got together for a student show...but time is short,and rehearsal difficulties together with the comparativelymeager supply of talent left on campus all but rules thisout. Since nothing definite has been decided as yet, fur¬ther developments will be reported later.The second revision concerns the Sigma Chi housereturn to the chapter as mentioned here several weeksago...The alumni have discovered that even thoughthere are a goodly number of Sig Chis on campus, allbut a handful are from the city.. .This seems that theybelieve the chapter will not be able to support the house(without taking in boarders) until next fall...and thatstands pat.. .(we don’t mean Dillon).Oh yes, there’s something else that needs additionalcopy... Bibs Ludgin’s whirlwind courtship and engage¬ment has had an equally whirlwind finish.. .well, maybefinish is a little too strong a word, but anyway the pinhas been sent back and, incidentally, with no hard feel¬ings.The holiday spirit hit campus just about the sametime the 12 inches of snow did...Fiji8 had a Christmasparty at which Santa presided and gave away such un¬orthodox gifts as mousetraps... Delta Sig pledges threwa party for their actives at which we hear there werethousands of men... And then, of course, there was thetenth floor.

And we have been told that thebest way to discover whether your club sister loves youis to ask her for one of her packs of Chesterfields.Alan Strauss, who knows about such things, reportsthat President Hutchin’s office has been turned upsidedown this week... literally, for a change... the decorat¬ors knocked out a couple of walls, giving Hutchins amore spacious office, his secretaries a window (and theysay that with rapture), and his cwitchboard operator acavelike arrangement, which is supposedly soundproof.. .the whole office has been repainted in a hospital-likeshade (some say sea-sick green).. .We had to print thisto calm the worries of some of our friends who believedthe massive draped edifice in the Harper corridor was tobe Hutchins’ tomb.Further news of the President of the Universitycomes from a member of the Maroon staff who prefersto remain anonymous.. .He says that Hutchins has beentaking a course in Mathematics (calculus, it is believed)at the University College, and surprise of surprises, heisn’t doing so well...We feel awfully sorry for the in¬structor who tries to flunk him.. .But it just isn’t done,old boy!Bazaar is really embarrassed ... remember someweeks ago we ran a story about a letter printed in Lifemagazine...

W'ambaughOn Christmas day, a new kind ofSanta Claus will descend Chicago’stheatrical chimney, and leave an elab¬orate package at the door of the CivicTheatre. Generally, this city has towait years for a real dramatic treat,but now it seems that under the aus-Julie Hay donpices of Louis tl. Singer, a permanentrepertory theatre will be established.“The Glass Menagerie”, by TennesseeWilliams, a gentleman with an ob¬scure background, will open on Christ¬mas night. Mr. Williams, who is alsoa short story writer and poet, (see re¬view, “Modem American Poets” onTHE LEANING TOWER ANDOTHER STORIES, by KatherineAnne Porter. Harcourt, Brace. $2.50Katherine Anne Porter has addedan exciting new volume of short sto¬ries to her other two works, titledThe Leaning Tower and Other Sto¬ries. Miss Porter’s outstanding qual¬ity is her insight into human rela¬tions. Plot, in the traditional sense ofthe word, is never important, and isoften totally lacking, while incidentsexist for the sake of character revela¬tion. Primary interest concerns theeffect that incidents have no one, orperhaps two, main characters. Assuch these short stories are highly par¬ticularized. They do not lend them¬selves to any generalization other thanthat they are stories about people.Miss Porter is not a writer of social ormoral significance, nor does she seemto be expounding principles of humanbehavior. The emotional impact thereader feels will depend on the partic¬ular story he has just finished.Still, Katherine Anne Porter’s workshave an elusive, yet all pervasive, uni¬versal quality about them which al¬most defies description. This qualitymay be quite explicit as in the titlestory of the volume, “The LeaningTower”, in which the central figurehas “desolation of spirit”, a feelingand knowledge of death in him. Or itmay be implicit as in the sketches sit¬uated in the deep south where thereis humor but also a vague unhappi¬ness encompassing the characters.Thus even though Miss Porter’s su¬perb stories are highly individualizedand transitory studies of people, anover-all feeling is engendered in thereader that mankind has destroyedsome worthwhile human value andconsequently man can never really be this page), has evidently worked withthe New York Group Theatre as wellas the Theatre Guild as a playwright.Advance reports have it that “TheGlass Menagerie” has a forceful mes¬sage. At any rate the scene is a tene¬ment house. The plot revolves arounda family of three, mother (LauretteTaylor), son (Eddie Dowling), anddaughter (Julie Haydon). The fatherof this family, a victim of wanderlust,has been missing for some time, andthe son appears to have fallen heir tosome of his characteristics as well asthe family financial obligations. Themother is quite concerned with herson’s constant references to leavinghome, and her bickering creates con-sidearble friction. She constantly re¬minds her son that his sister is an af¬flicted child, and that he should see toit that the girl has a husband to sup¬port her. The prospective suitor, thefourth character, is played by TonyRoss. Since Mr. Williams has himselfbeen wandering about the country forsome eight years, it is possible thatthe material for this play was collect¬ed during that time.Mr. Dowling, actor, writer, produc¬er, got his start in musical comedyand worked his way to dramatic re¬nown in several of Philip Barry’smore unhappy attempts, notably,“Here Come the Clowns”. Julie Hay¬don, last seen here in “The Patriots”,has appeared with Mr. Dowling in“Shadow and Substance” and “Timehappy.The works included ip this volume,as in her other two, may be categor¬ized into three groups. The first arethose dealing with middle class, orlower, family life, into which “TheDownward Path to Wisdom”, and “ADay’s Work” fall. Both of these sto¬ries are highly perceptive and highlyunsavory, yet it is evident that MissPorter is in sympathy with the char¬acters. “The Leaning Tower” is theonly piece which fits in the second div¬ision, its locale being a foreign land.The significance of the title lies in thefact that the protagonist breaks a rep¬lica of the tower .of PPisa, much be¬loved by his landlady. The tower isa symbol of something in whose de¬struction all the nations of the worldhave been responsible.All Books reviewed on this pageavailable at theUniversity of Chicago BookstoreThe last, and probably most appeal¬ing of Miss Porter’s stories concernMiranda (the introspective heroine of“Pale Horse, Pale Rider”) and herbackground. In this book Miranda isshown as a child, who seems to be setapart because of her extreme sensitiv¬ity. The author has some insurpassa-ble descriptions of Miranda’s emo¬tions as: “She jumped, quivered,thrilled blindly and almost forgot tobreathe as sound and color and smellrushed together and poured throughher skin and hair and beat in hbr headand hands and feet and pit of herstomach”.—Marabell Smith of Your Life”. Laurette Taylor, of“Peg O’ My Heart” fame, is comingout of retirement to join the group. Itis interesting to note that her last ap¬pearance on Broadway was in a re¬vival of “Outward Bound”. Jo Miel-ziner, perhaps the greatest living sce¬nic designer, is responsible for thesets, and Rose Bogdanoff for the cos¬Eddie Dowlingtumes. The play is being staged underthe co-direction of Mr. Dowling andMargo Jones.Scheduled for future productionsare: “Shadow and Substance”, “Junoand the Paycock”, and “OutwardBound”. With plans such as these,present and future, the souls of manya discouraged theatre-goer hereaboutsshould be given new zest. So get outyour opera glasses and don your blackgloves: this is an enterprise to sup¬port. >''Milder" WoolcottFound by ReviewersIn Book of LettersTHE LETTERS OF ALEXANDERWOOLCOTT. Viking Press. $3.50During his career, Alexander Wool¬cott was dubbed many names, varyingfrom “Town Crier” to appendages un¬printable here. After reading thisvolume of his letters, edited by Beat¬rice Kaufman and Joseph Hennessey,he. appears as a somewhat milder per¬sonality, differing from the one so la¬boriously constructed by both thepress and Mr. Woolcott. Much, to hisadvantage, he never becomes the coun¬terpart of Sheridan Whiteside.It is not a startling conclusion un¬der the circumstances, that this re¬nowned gentleman was an egotist ofthe first order. Woolcott’s letters area self portrait par excellence, withthe other members of his notable setmentioned only as incidental to themain narrative, choppy as it is, of hislife. You’ll find lines to and aboutsuch people as Noel Coward, JeromeKern, Edna Ferber, Thornton Wilder,Lady Colfax, and Katherine Cornell.The style of the letters is brisk, pol¬ished, and journalistic. It is not theway that Woolcott wrote that is of in¬terest to us. Woolcott was a raconteursecond to none, a man who liked tothink of himself as presiding over theliterary and theatrical set of the 20’s,30’s, and early 1940’s. Reading his let¬ters is like taking cocktails with apersonalized, international Who’sWho. —Betty Steams Picking the significant recordingsof the year is not difficult when theyear has seen the releases that thisone has. Of the two major companies,RCA has brought out some goodworks on discs which were poorly con¬structed and which had very poor sur¬faces: Columbia has done better, bothwith regard to the works released andwith regard to surfaces. Some Co¬lumbia discs have had surfaces ofprewar standard.The purpose of the following listingis to rank the year’s releases in ap¬proximate order of their worth, start¬ing with the best, and indicating in aword the characteristic of the musicand its suitability as a Christmas gift.Best of the year was Victor’s re¬cording of W a 11 o n ’^s Belshazzar’sFeast, with Dennis Noble, the Hud¬dersfield Choir, the Liverpool Philhar¬monic and Brass Bands, the composerconducting. Virile, savage music: forthose who like vivid drama—^not forthe faint of heart (musically). Nextcomes Chausson’s emotionally com¬pelling Symphony In B Flat. Beauti¬fully performed by the Chicago Sym¬phony and Frederick Stock; issued asa memorial to Stock, it really displayshis musicianship at its most effective.Next comes Columbia’s release ofBeethoven’s .nighty Quartet No. 15 inA Minor, Op. 132, performed by theBudapest Quartet in one of their (ha¬bitually) masterful performances. In-telluctual music, not for everyone, itwill give lasting pleasure to those whocan absorb it. Also on Columbia isthe Dohnanyi Quintet in C Minor, Op.1, for piano and string quartet, doneby Edward Kilenyi and the RothString Quartet. Just the thing for19th century-inclined Aunt Agathaand the sentimental of all ages. Thenthere is Szigeti’s definitive perform¬ance of the Debussy Sonata No. 3 forviolin and piano. Prewar surfaces, su¬perlative playing of a lovely work.Two symphonies, Haydn’s No. 103in E Flat (“Drum Roll”), the HalleOrchestra and Leslie Reward, andMozart’s No. 34 in C, K.338, withBeecham and the London Philhar¬monic, add to Columbia’s distinguishedroster of symphonies done by Englishorchestras. A catch-all that willplease everyone: both performancesfall in the definitive class.Victor’s sole chamber music accom¬plishment of the year was the MozartDivertimento in E Flat, K. 563, by theHeifetz-Primrose - Feuermann c o m -bination. On the same high level asthe previous releases of the series.Finishing up the major companies al¬bums are Victor’s release of the firstfour movements of Holst’s The Plan¬ets and Debussy’s Images Nos. 1 and3, Gigues and Rondes de Printemps;the former with Macmillan and theToronto Symphony, the latter withMonteux and the San Francisco. Mod¬ern works, well performed; the Holst,a long needed job.Two works by a minor company,'Hargail Recorder, fit in here. Hinde¬mith’s Sonata in E Major <(1935) forviolin and piano, played by Edgar Or-tenberg—new second violinist of theBudapest Quartet—and Lukas Foss.Atypical Hindemith, not at all dull.Bernstein’s Sonata for Clarinet andPiano, David Oppenheim (clarinet)and Bernstein at the piano. Minormanifestation of the current wonder-boy of American music.In the singles two HMV’s lead thelist: G-B9189, Brahms: Cappriccio inB Minor, Op. 76, No. 2 and Intermezzoin A Flat, Op. 76, No. 3, played by Myra Hess. Sentimental Brahms wellplayed. G-DB6169, Chausson: Chan¬son Perpetuelle, Op. 37; Maggie Teyte,Gerald Moore (piano), and the BlechString Quartet. Maggie Teyte’s voiceis all it ever has been; the supremesinger of French songs.The remaining discs are Rachman¬inoff’s transcription of Bach’s PartitaNo. 3 in E, played by Rachmaninoff,and the Overture to Aristophanes’“Wasps”. Superb examples of Rach¬maninoff’s art and Vaughan Williams’music. That’s all ’til next year.Walgreen LecturesMake Up New BookAbout World PeaceNEW PERSPECTIVES ON PEACE,edited by George B. de Huszar, pub¬lished by the University of ChicagoPress, $2.50.With the successful prosecution ofthe war approaching a conclusion, andwith the problems of establishing alasting peace becoming increasingly 'cogent, this small volume of elevenessays by ten lecturers of the 1943-44series of Walgreen Studies of Amer¬ican Institutions and the editor, whoprovides the introductory chapter,cannot be praised too highly for itstimeliness and its clear evaluation ofthe many perplexities of peace. Theseveral aspects are approachedthrough the fields of specializatipn ofthe Messrs. Colby, Craven, Redfield,Viner, Ogburn, Quincy Wright, Hav-ighurst. Slight, McKeon, and J. L. Ad¬ams, all of the University of Chicagofaculty.Though the several authors makeno attempt to present either a seriesof peace plans or an integrated blue¬print for peace, they do establish anddefine the many complex factorswhich should and must receive priorconsideration before any group of dip¬lomats gather around a conference ta¬ble to draw up any sort of “peace”document. However, it is most dis¬quieting to realize that those peoplewho are now or will be engaged in thefashioning of the structure of worldpeace will never read this comprehen¬sive volume or follow any of the rec¬ommendations of these experts whohave devoted a lifetime in the studyof their areas of learning. In fact, itis extremely doubtful whether any ge¬ographer, historian, anthropologist,economist, sociologist, lawyer, educat¬or, psychologist, philosopher, or theo¬logian will be asked to contribute anymore to the ultimate solution of theproblems of peace than the dictates ofnationalism and traditional diplomacyallow.It is evident that no single disci¬pline of study can provide all the an¬swers, yet each expert does present amost interesting and provocative an¬alysis of peace in terms of his indi¬vidual field. Whether Mortimer Adleris right in his statement that peace isat least 500 years away, and currentevents seem to substantiate Mr. Ad¬ler, or whether our leaders can profitnow, at this late date, by the lessonsto be learned from this book, is stillto be seen. Nevertheless, as a resultof the content of and the procedure in.New Perspectives on Peaces a moststimulating challenge is presented tothe average reader to grasp the im-menisty and the totality of what isentailed in the construction of thepermanent peace which the entireworld eagerly awaits.—Fred GottesmanCritic Praises New BookBy Katherine Anne Porter>Page Six " ■■Girter EnthusiasticOver New Poets’ SeriesFIVE YOUNG AMERICAN PO¬ETS 1944. New Directions. $3.00This is the third series of FiveYoiing American Poets published byNew Directions, the first volume hav¬ing appeared in 1940, the second in1941. Most noteworthy of those poetsincluded in the latter was Karl Sha¬piro. In this third volume I think thepoet most deserving of future atten¬tion is Tennessee William. Another,though his career may be harder tofollow, is a Latin-American radical,Alejandro Carrilon. The other three.Eve Merriam, John Frederick Nims,and Jean Garrigue, are certainly tobe read with consideration, but atleast in this collection they do not ap¬pear outstanding.Nims is of local interest in that hewon the Fiske Prize for Poetry at theUniversity in 1940. One of his betterpoems included in this collection is“Slums.” The perversion and inten¬sity of the imagery makes it a verita¬ble “poem by Dali.” In contrast is“The Blonde Sonata,” lacking none ofthe intensity of “Slums” but in thiscase demonstrating an introspectivenature.* Nims’ poetry is overshadowed bythe burning drive of Williams’, whose“The Dangerous Painters” is all-in-all the best poem of the book. It hasstructure and form w'hich Englishprofessors tell us are of prime neces¬sity to a good poem, but more impor¬tant, it has depth of feeling, a some-times-delicate but most-times-savageimagery, and a penetrating insightinto matters biological and subcon¬scious. The use of dialogue produces a subtly subjective objectivenejs.Alejandro Carrilon proves himselfa Communist in “Blockading RedHope,” a worthy poet in “Tree,” and“Fair Sweet Singer to Sleep ofDreams,” and a rather happy com¬bination of both in “Basis and Devel¬opment of the Good Life.” On thewhole his poems are weakened by alack of conciseness and a tendency forrepetition.This book is a “must” for those in¬terested in current poetry.—Robert CarterAimee Crane, a Gem;Black, Whites Good;Data LikewiseA GALLERY OF GREAT PAINT-INGS.

InThe Soldier he does not fall short inthese two respects. The subject mat¬ter and ideas of the poem are originalneither to the realm of poetry in gen¬eral, nor to Aiken’s poetry in particu¬lar. It is the conventionality of thesubject matter—with Aiken’s own in¬dividual twist—which is chiefly re¬sponsible for his ability to write aboutwar without sinking into the status of“war-poet”, a distinction aptly madeby Shapiro in his preface to V-Letter.It is not my purpose to tell whatAiken says in The Soldier, for halfthe reader’s fun would be lost if hewere denied the chance of digging be¬tween the obscure references to fa¬mous battles and heroes of historyand the even more obscure lines takenfrom Homer, Xenophon, Suetonius,and William James. ^Aiken’s style is distinctive, mixedwith shades of Hugo, Shelley, and T.S. Eliot. The opening mood is of ahushed, softly-moving mysticismclosely akin to passages in “SilentSnow, Secret Snow.” The style of thepoem, thought fluctuating, often re¬turns to this opening mood. The “An¬tiphon of the Dead Soldiers” almostapproaches being the greatest poetryin the entire work, but its faults areevident.The words have epic proportions anda great rhetorical ring, tho’ thethought beneath them is disappoint¬ingly shallow. On the other hand, partfive — “The Outpost” — contains, in "Tragic Ground" Wee Bit Tragic—Bedroom Scene "Enticing"TRAGIC GROUND by ErskineCaldwell. Duell, Sloan, and Pearce.$2.50In this, his latest novel, Caldwell isagain in the land of Tobacco Road andCk>d’s Little Acre which is where hebelongs, as witnessed by his not toosuccessful story of Russian guerrillafighters in All Night Long. Again hewrites of a section of the South, thistime changed from the depressiondays in God’s Little Acre to one suf¬fering from a slump created by theshutdown of a wartime industry. Theeconomic situation is the same, thepeople are the same basically, it isonly Caldwell’s understanding and de¬lineation of them which shows achange.I can’t say that his characterizationis more profound (Ty Ty in God’s Lit¬tle Acre is still for me his greatestcreation) but the people in this booklive vividly and convincingly muchsooner than those in his earlier works.It was almost halfway through €rod’sLittle Acre that Ty Ty and WillThompson ceased being partially con¬ceived phantoms and came truly intoflesh and blood. In Tragic Groundonce the reader puts by the rathercumbersome first chapter, which how¬ever has an enticing bedroom scene.many respects the best verse of thebook.The last part, “The Unknown Sol¬dier,” is best left to the individualreader’s taste and judgment. It is anoutpouring of Platonic thought in arestrained loftiness, heightened bysuch lines as:“Serene shines the self, and beyondit, serener, the selfless.”—Robert Carter the story moves on with convincingreality.The most finely developed characteris Maud, Spence's wife, who is alsoresponsible for the juiciest bits ofpornography (or not pornography ifthe court says so) except possibly forthe scene in the bawdyhouse with Jer-rie.Caldwell reveals a disappointingamount of originality in the plotstructure by adopting even to certainfine points the structure of Gk>d’s Lit¬tle Acre: major group; minor group;development and inter-relationship;conclusion of minor plot; conclusionof major plot. In both books the prin¬ciple actions are the same: molestingof women in both major and minorplots, and a murder in the minor plot.In both books the plot advances witha seeming lack of action on the partof the characters involved. In the ear¬lier book the problem was that of liv¬ing happily in spite of antagonisticeconomic and primitive emotionalforces, in this it is one of escape fromthese same forces.Looking at Caldwell’s general de¬velopment, one of his major achieve¬ments in this book is his successfulcombination of seriousness and hu¬mor. Steinbeck often adds a finaltouch of pity to his situations whichseems to indicate a more intense com¬passion for human failings, but Cald¬well’s at times almost passionless ob¬jectiveness and his skillful weaving inof comedy just at a point before thereader would become satiated of hisseriousness make him in a very covertmanner a sincere sympathizer of hu¬man beings and also make us forgivehim his occasional sensationalism in¬tended (let us say) for the “popular”reading public. —Robert CarterBOOKS ARE THE HERITAGE OF THE FREEThey are the open gates to freedom, light and peace.

An organizedgroup, it is further believed, would serve as a liaison between stu¬dent opinion and the administration.The creation of the four year college at the University beginning withthe conventional junior year in highschool was originally designed to re¬place the orthodox four-year systemexisting in other American universi¬ties. The conventional college was tobe replaced, but in its stead was to beinserted a well unified, four-year pro¬gram. The plan has already brokenfor existing today is a mixture.The gap between the lower twoyears and the upper two yearshas become more widespread inthe past few years. While thelower two years have tended tobecome unified and organized,ranks of the higher two yearshave become marked by confu¬sion and uncertainty. The latterhowever, may be traced in partto the effects of the war.At the current time, a dormitorycouncil embracing representativesfrom each of the dormitories occupiedby first and second years is operatingand is vested with dormitory authori¬ty. The lower two years are alsoofficially organized into student bod¬ies with elected officials. The latter,however, has been ineffective, largelybecause of lack of properly vestedauthority.First step in the organization ofstudent government was outlined inthis department a week ago. It calledfor the formation of a dormitorycouncil with the inclusion of commut¬ing students. Simultaneously, the up¬per two years of the College must es¬tablish class officers and a class gov¬ernment. These two steps will thenpave the way for a College govern¬ment. Administration officials arebacking the proposals but are waitingfor the initiative to be assumed by thestudent body. That initiative willprobably be accepted at the outsetof next quarter. —A.K.

THE CHICAGO MAROONNancy SmithBox OfficeLAURA .... is, inrespect of genius,a whodunit; and inrespect of species,a rather remark¬able picture. It ex¬ceeds the averageof its type in itsunusually wellconceived plot, andalso in its magni¬ficently handledcharacters. There are five in particu¬lar, who are superb, each one the epi¬tome of his type. They complementone another strikingly in any com¬bination, because of their strong dis¬similarities. Thus when any numberof them appear in the same scene, oneis always conscious of the static clashof personalities. This accounts for agreat part of the picture’s effective¬ness.Clifton Webb, familiar to theater¬goers, handles the role of Waldo Ly-decker, the swave and acid witted col¬umnist, with brilliance. The part de¬mands subtlety and distinction, and hegives it both. Dana Andrews, as thepolice lieutenant, was the real sur¬prise. He has until now been forcedto sacrifice character to plot (cast usu¬ally as a soberly courageous naval of¬ficer or the like), but in “Laura” hispersonality is instrumental in shapingthe action. He has guts, grimness,and the contradictory qualities of ap¬parent stocism and real human feel¬ing. More difficult, he has managedto convey the impression of innatebreeding and decency without the ben¬efit of a lot of formal education, yetnot obviously, as the stock “diamond-In-the-rough” character. VincentPrice is his exact antithesis: weak,shiftless, and dissolute, he is not muchof a gentleman, in spite of his impec¬cable social background. He is a so¬cial parasite of the worst kind, andhis dualities are refiected in the per¬son of Judith Anderson, a wealthy,aging socialite. She and Price are aperfect pair, with one'exception—^sheknows and admits her weakness.There remains but Laura herself, ablyportrayed by Gene Tierney, her bestrole to date. Her part is not as strongas the others, but this is natural, con¬sidering that all the action centersabout her. She sets the drama in mo¬tion, not so much by what she herselfdoes, but by what is done to her.The plot: L^iura Hunt, a bright ne¬ophyte in advei-tising, rises to the topof her field under the jealous sponsor¬ship of the famed columnist and man-about-town, Waldo Lydecker, herguardian and protector. She verymuch aggravates him by giving a jobto, and becoming eventually engagedto, Shelby Carpenter (Vincent Price),a philandering no-good. This is also amatter of annoyance to Ann Tread¬way (Judith Anderson), who had beenfinancing and patronizing Shelby, inmore than motherly affection. Shelbytouches off the stored-up dynamite bydating one of Laura’s models. Verysoon a lovely lady has her face blownoff with a double-barrelled shotgun.This is whera Mark MacPherson(Dana Andre'vs) steps in. However,the real action is just beginning, andthere are plenty of surprising twistsbefore the culmination.One indication that Hollywood isapproaching something like maturity:the utter absence of stupid, bunglingcops when the law enters into thescene. It is completely represented inthe capable person of Dana Andrews.The picture is, in a way, a real tributeto the police force. / Large ThrongDelighted ByXmas PageantThis year’s Christmas Pageantshowed that a really effective blendingof voices with tableaux and lightingis well-nigh impossible in RockefellerChapel, In spite of the capable di¬rectorship of Mack Evans, the organ¬ization of such an affair is very great,and the time spent in co-ordinationwas very small, particularly in re¬spect to the choir.The familiar characteristics of Mr.Evans’ leading were apparent in thesinging; good cut-offs, rhythm, andclear enunciation. James McEnery’ssolo in The Three Kings would havesatisfied the tastes of all three queens.However, unmistakable signs of in¬sufficient preparation were also pres¬ent. Starts were very bad, and, attimes, the choir was not together.Sunday night, there was confusionas to whom the soloist in Holst’sChristmas Evening was to be. Mon¬day night, someone failed to providethe east chancel with music and thesopranos lagged as a consequence.The real weakness of the choir lay inthe women’s voices whose work in thelullaby and ensuing processional wasno more than indifferent. It was un¬fortunate that the weight of thoseparts was borne by so few.A portion of the trouble was thefact that in the gallery, Mr. Evanswas obliged to direct from the organ.Being partly eclipsed by the instru¬ment, both playing and direction suf¬fered from energetic attempts to beseqn.Directing at the chancel was com¬plicated by the division of the choir,causing Mr. Evans to direct one halfwhile behind the other, with an as¬sociate following his motions on theother side.The lighting achieved its purposewell of lending solemn dignity to theoccasion, and the action by the kingsand shepherds was well carried out.The Morris dance as the adoration ofdance and song, was gracefully per¬formed, and harmoniously integrated.On both nights there was unfavor¬able weather which was expected tokeep away large numbers. Neverthe¬less, as Dr. Gillkey announced at thebeginning of the program, the attend-ence was not only greater than ex¬pected, but greater than any previouspageant, especially in regard to thechildren who brought toys to be re¬paired and given to the Universitysettlement. The people seemed quitepleased with the ceremonies, and onewould guess, by the absence of theusual bawling, that the children ateit up.All things considered, the seven¬teenth Christmas Pageant was suc¬cessful and, although there were defin¬ite inadequacies, it was done wellenough to make us look forward tothe eighteenth. —R. J. M.Teller Brass DisplayWilled to UniversityThe Sydney and Julia Teller collec¬tion of brass and copper which hasbeen on exhibit at Goodspeed Hall wasformally presented to the Universitythis morning at 10:00 a.m. Ralph A.Beals, Director of the University Li¬braries, accepted the gift on behalfof the University.

Judy Down$Servin' It HotA packed house waited expectantlyat the Civic Theater, December 3, forthe opening strains of an evening ofAmerican folk music. The programbegan dramatically as the house wasplunged into complete darkness. Thepotent black silence was broken bythe steely, plaintive cry of a guitar,and a golden spotlight gradually fo¬cused on a brown man relaxed in awicker chair, fingering his big yellowguitar. From those first spine-ting¬ling notes of “Good Morning Blues”to the last poigfnant chord of “Sum¬mertime*” Josh White held his audi¬ence in the palm of his hand. As eas¬ily and personally as a man singsfrom his back door steps, Josh jaunt¬ily professed, “Gotta Head like aRock, Got a Heart like a MarbleStone”, complained his Jim Crow“Trouble,” grinned slyly at the “Lasswith the Delicate Air”.Set forth as a joint presentation byJosh White and Libby Holman, MissHolman, though given a good two-thirds of the program, contributed lit¬tle to the enjoyment of the evening.Her extravagant gestures and affectedposing gave a sharp ring of artificial¬ity to her deliveries, more harsh bytheir contrast to the complete easeand sincerity with which White sang.It was over two years ago that MissHolman abandoned torch singing andapproached Josh White with theforthright request, “Teach me howto sing the blues.” From this two-year relationship she has acquireda knowledge of blues forms and emu¬lation of certain blues inflections, hutshe remains the husky-throated torchsinger in voice and delivery./Josh and Miss Holman presentedinteresting duet interpretations ofLewis Allen’s chilling “StrangeFruit” and Gershwin’s “Summer¬time.” Seated side by side under ef¬fective stage lighting which fadedback into the original blackout, thetwo dramatically climaxed the twohalves of their program. Josh paintedwith solemn quietness the vivid pic¬ture of lynching in the deep South:“Southern trees bear strange fruit...blood on the leaves, blood at theroot.” Even Miss Holman’s artifi¬ciality failed to break the grip of themood. A whimsical note was instill¬ed into their “Summertime” as Joshlightly sang, “say there, boy, hey, stopthat cryin’.. .your pappy’s got a mil¬lion dollars and your mammy runsaround all the time”.The evening’s presentation servedto indicate once more that the best ofAmerican folk music is originated inand delivered by the American Negro.Letters..,(Continued from page four)older methods of education are dis¬satisfied.

THE CHICAGO MAROONSzigeti Plays Stravinsky,Prokofiev Sonata BrilliantlyThe University owes an apology tothe Pro Arte Quartet for the seatingof late-comers between movements ofthe Schonberg quartet, thereby inter¬rupting the performance for five min¬utes.Major interest attaches to the ap¬pearance of the Hungarian masterJoseph Szigeti and his pianist, HarryKaufman. Szigeti played first Strav¬insky’s Duo Concertant, which washeard last season, played by JohnWeicher and the composer. Reviewinglast season’s performance, I foundit dull and monotonous. The faultof that performance lies in the factthat Mr. Weicher is incapable of cop¬ing with any work which requires theleast technical mastery, or of expound¬ing the work in a manner consonantwith the composer’s intention—in¬stead of playing his own “interpre¬tation” of the work.In the hands of a master of hisinstrument the Duo Concertant provesto be a work of stature, an arrestingwork, elaborate and congenial to theviolin, a beautifully finished piece ofworkmanship, possessing very decid¬edly the melodic line which it failedto exhibit at Mr. Weicher’s hands.The new Prokofiev Sonata in D,which had its midwest premiere,proved to be a work of charm. Thescherzo and the finale, allegro con brio,were sparkling, vivacious, and mel-odically appealing. The moderato andandante, in a somewhat quieter vein,were more restrained. The exuber¬ance of the finale was particularlycaptivating and its main theme in¬gratiating. The work is, however, adisplay piece for the violin: the roleof the piano has been relegated tothat of a mere provider of background.Mr. Szigeti’s playing was its usualperfection. His attack was vigorous,his phrasing flawless, his techniquemasterful. Wednesday’s performancebrought to many people a realizationof what great violin playing can be.Mr. Kaufman’s accompaniments werediscrete, too discrete: the piano per¬mitted itself to be overshadowed inthe Stravinsky, which was contraryto the composer’s intent. The Pro¬kofiev also suffered in this respect.The University was honored by theappearance of Mr. Szigeti: we hopenext season he will be asked to give JOSEPH SZIGETIa solo recital on the Chamber Series.We hope, too, that the Universityadministration will realize that it wasan imposition on Mr. Szigeti to askhim and Mr. Kaufman to play lastWednesday without having providedfacilities for them to “warm up” be¬fore their appearance.A reconstituted Pro Arte Quartetplayed the Schonberg Quatret No. S,Op. SO, and the Prokofiev Quartet,Op 50. The performances were rag¬ged and not at all like those of theoriginal Pro Arte which gained fameduring its first appearance in Americain 1936-37 with its finished playing.The Schonberg quartet is atonal; butis atonalism is modified because repe¬tition of notes is allowed in transi¬tional and introductory passages: alsotransposition of the “row” or its in-Itersion is used simultaneously withthe untransposed “row”. A workwhich is an aural exercise in followingthe “rows’* is not likely to be easyor very pleasant listening: such wasthe case with the Schonberg.The Prokofiev quartet is a spicydissonant work, reminiscent of theearly Scythian Suite, which Defauwdid so brilliantly three weeks ago.In an adequate performance theProkofiev quartet would prove to bea dynamic work. Wednesday nightit was accorded only a routine per¬formance. Whether this was due tolack of rehearsal or too short a periodof association, the Pro Arte failed torealize the complete possibilities ofthe work. —W. R. W.

W.St. John of Ohio State. It was1922, four years after the war,and the Big Ten conference wasjust recovering and at the dawnof its boom era.Out of that conference, camethe decision to name a WesternConference athletic commission¬er, and the hian picked to sit inthe saddle was Major John L.Griffith, a cultured and dignifiedathletic philosopher who hadbeen a widely known coach,world war veteran, and one ofthe founders of the American Le¬gion junior baseball program.Last week two hours after he hadbeen reelected commissioner John L.Griffith was dead and one of theguiding lights of the Big Ten confer¬ence for a generation was gone fromthe scene. He died, victim of a heartattack, while the conference was inits autumn session here in Chicago.Only a week earlier, his life-timefriend, baseball’s Judge KenesawMountain Landis had also crossed thegreat divide. But where Landis hadruled the far fiung baseball empirewith an iron hand, with terse, unques¬tioned dictates, Griffith had resortedto other means—to tact, good will,persuasion. When he became the No.1 brasshat of the conference thesportlight still shined brightly on theIvy League and the east was the heartof the nation’s amateur sports. Nogreater tribute could be made to himat his death than that made by BobZuppke who called the Western Con¬ference “the anchor of amateur sportsin America.”During Griffith’s tenure theBig Ten prospered and grew. Itset a pattern for the organizationof the Pacific Coast, Southeast¬ern, Big Six, and Big Seven con¬ferences. Every school in theconference built vast new stadiaand arenas during his lifetime.Proseletizing and fiagrant subsi¬dization was reduced to a mini¬mum. The league was coordinat¬ed, unified.More than that the Big Ten, throughGriffith, became an aggressive forcein building athletics to a higher level.Sport became more than mere exer¬cise for the participants or a spectaclefol* the fans. It became a way oflife, an integral part of the Americanscheme of things.Maroon Marksmen Win ..Monday night the “Maroon” rifleteam defeated the Roseland “Red”team 904 to 817.

They are singing anold tune and appear to be way out ofkey.J. Kyle Anderson, director of ath¬letics at the University, this weekpunctured the rumor balloon and itfloated ungently to earth revealing:1) Chicago has abandoned no sport.2) The university has asked to berelieved of Big Ten schedule commit¬ments because of the uncertainty ofmaterial which will be available forteams.3) There is every indication thatwhen material for clubs can again bemustered Chicago will field teams inall sports.Anderson pointed out this weekthat the Chicago decision not to sched¬ule conference contests was reachedlast spring. Big Ten slates aredrafted from 6 to 9 months in advanceof the season. Thus the 1945 footballagenda has already been mapped andthe track and baseball cards were be¬ing arranged in Chicago last week.Chicago is unable, Anderson said,to agree to commitments that far in advance because of the sparseness ofmaterial. Basketball originally hadbeen suspended and it is only as aresult of special arrangements withthe navy that a team is seeing actionunder the klieg lights in non-confer¬ence action.Chicago asked that the conferencenot schedule matches in swimming,wrestling, baseball, and golf but theUniversity did not abandon the sports.“On the contrary,” Anderson declar¬ed, “we are eager to play, but only ifwe have the material.”“Other universities have abandonedvarious phases of their program forthe duration, but such actions havebeen given only cursory mention.Similar action by the University ofChicago, brought about by sheer ne-nessity only, is, however, bitterly at¬tacked,” the athletic generalissimoasserted.Several Chicago newspapers usedlast week’s Big Ten conference parleyas a springboard for new attacks onthe University athletic policy, onenewspaper charging that Chicago had“dropped all sports but track.” Theassertions were subsequently deniedby Anderson.

Usinga man to man defense, Chicago heldthe lead for the entire game and keptthe Wheaton men well under control.George Raby and Lark Flanagan dom¬inated the backboards both offensive¬ly and defensively and took an ablepart in the scoring ‘ activities of theteam.A highly rated Ft. Sheridansquad, fresh from defeating Gli^-view Air Base, had their portionof defeat handed out when Chi¬cago was able to hit the neto alittle more often than the sol¬diers. It took the Maroons 8 min¬utes on Wednesday night beforethey could drop in their first bas¬ket and the initial period draggedfor 20 minutes ending in a 15-6 ^margin with the lead going to theUniversity.
