Russophobes OpposedBy Socialist Krueger‘The rapidly increasing power of the Soviet Union in worldpolitics is no victory for socialism,'' declared Professor MaynardC. Krueger today. Krueger, national chairman of the SocialistParty of America and chairman of the Social Sciences staff in theCollege, will lead a lecture-discussion on “Socialism and Russia"on Monday at 8:00 p.m. in Social Science 122. Sponsored by theSocialist Club, this meeting is expected to draw widespread stu¬dent participation.February 24 is the date set forthe Students Social Committee’sWinter Formal to be held in IdaNoyes gym from 9:30 to 12:30.Jack Russell and his band will playand a floorshow has been planned.Hut, One, Two!Marine Vet Maps MilitaryTraining Plan For CollegeA Military Science and Tactics Course will be offered oncampus at the beginning of the Spring Quarter.

The plan, under thesupervision of A1 Long, Marine vet¬eran of the present war, is being or¬ganized by Bruce Shimberg. It hasbeen endorsed by Deans Kimpton andMacLean,The group will hold a . two-hourclass one night a week for eightweeks. At the end of this period,tactical exercises in Palos Park anda contest among four platoons willtake place.The instructors for the coursewill be students with experience inthe Institute of Studies andother military organizations.

The question will be raised, con¬tinued Krueger in his statement toThe Chicago Maroon, whether Social¬ists should be anti-Russian, therebyfeeding the fires of antagonism inAmerica, or whether they should “layofi” their criticisms of the SovietUnion. The answer, he felt, lies inthe fact that the Socialist movementis anti-Communist without being anti-Russian, just as it is anti-imperialistwithout being anti-British, or anti-Russian.“We Socialists make our distinctionsbetween political-economic programs—not between nationalities and races,”he said.In his remarks, Krueger will high¬light the affair of Alter and Ehrlich,the two outstanding leaders of thelabor and socialist movement in Po¬land, who were executed by Stalinafter the Soviet occupation of EasternPoland in 1939. Krueger, Americandelegate to the 1933 conference of theSecond International, worked closelywith’ Alter and Ehrlich 'who repre¬sented Poland.

RALPH HUTCHINSON,of Washington and Jefferson CollegeWSSF DriveIn Full SwingThe current WSSF campaign hasgathered impetus as a result of auc¬tions held in^ the girls’ dormitories.Articles such as clothing, jewelrywere donated by girls in Foster, Kel¬ly, Green, and Beecher to be auction¬ed off. Sue Buckingham originatedthe idea and Sylvia Slade is the auc¬tioneer. IA spectacular sale was that ofHerbert Tareyton cigarettes goingfor $7.25. The first auction held atGreen netted $183.00, and the second,at Foster and Kelly brought in$250.00 for the fund. The third washeld at Gates Hall last Tuesday. Thegoal for funds procured in this man¬ner is $600. Present at the auctionswere from 200 to 250 persons.The first All-Campus Carnivalsince the one held in the Field Housein 1941 will be held a week from to¬day, February 23, on the third floorof Ida Noyes from eight to twelveo’clock. Sponsored by Chapel Unionas a benefit for the World StudentService Fund, the carnival will in¬clude games, food, dancing, and asmany different forms of entertain¬ment as the groups working on it canconjure.“To date,” reports Ann Duvendeck,chairman of the Carnival, “about fif¬teen different groups, among themclubs and dormitories, have agreedto take care of booths.”Income inequalityBrings Bad Housing“Housing In Chicago” was the topicof Joseph D. Lohman, Assistant Pro¬fessor of Sociology, at the weekly meet¬ing of the Student Forum last Tues¬day.Professor Lohman emphasized thatthe problem of housing is basicallyone of indbme distribution. “We canprovide adequate shelter for all, butthose most in need of better homescannot afford to pay for them,” hesaid. Anything which would increasethe purchasing power of the lower-income group, therefore, would be animportant step in solving the housingand related problems. - THE CHICAGO MAROONPublic h PoorJudge of ArtSays Lecturer“In creative art independence meansfreedom to produce one’s own work”,was the thesis advanced by John Sloan,noted American artist, yesterday eve¬ning in his talk, “The Independence ofthe Artist”. The talk, given under thesponsorship of the William VaughnModd Foundation, was held in MandelHall.Sloan, currently visiting the Univer¬sity, will be guest of honor at anopen house this evening in GoodspeedHall under the auspices of the Renais¬sance Society, which will hold an ex¬hibition of his etchings. The exhibitwill be open to the public throughMarch 13th. The display will consistof a retrospective showing of Mr.Sloan's etchings which will be a com¬plete survey of his work in the medium.With each etching on exhibit he hassupplied a critical comment of his own.In his discussion of the position ofthe artist in relation to his public,Sloan stated his view that the publicin cultural matters, particularly art,is the poorest judge.“I don’t like the idea of the artistworking to suit the public,” he said.“I see no improvement resulting fromhis satisfying the tastes of the crowd.Democracy is a perfect idea for thepractical matters of life, but majorityrule in cultural matters is not to betrusted.”In speaking of the various forms ofart, Sloan was of the opinion that“The ultra modern movement has af¬forded the graphic artist a means ofmental and manual technical practice,but no musician^^would think of hiringa hall to demonstrate the mathematicsof composition and finger exercises tomusic lovers.” He placed particularstress upon the “American Scene”,saying that as painting it was excel¬lent and that his only objection wasthe title.Sloan took the stand that national¬ism in painting was->^s harmful toart as to any other scientific or cul¬tural eff(]jgs by preventing broad hu¬man understanding. Another featurein painting Mr. Sloan lashed outagainst was competition among crea¬tive artists as an evil, that has itsbasis in a sense of inferiority.He concluded his address with “Allmen are interdependent in our societyand should be ready to recognize thatfact. The creative artist must never¬theless have freedom and independenceto produce his own work . . . Progressdepends on independent thought inboth art and science.”John Sloan is one of America’s mostnoted artists and teachers, and a mem¬ber of the American Academy of Artsand Letters. He has written a numberof books on painting and art instruc¬tion.BROWSERS Always WELCOMEAtBob MarshairsEnquiryBook Shop1324 East 57th StreetNext to the Hut Big 3 ParleyIs Panel TopicThe University of Chicago RoundTable program at 12:30 p.m. Sunday,over the NBC network will be “TheBig Three Conference: What Does ItSettle?” instead of “Canada Facesan Election,” as originally announ¬ced.Participants on the broadcast willbe Senator Joseph Ball of Minnesota;Senator James Fulbright of Arkan¬sas; and Quincy Wright, professor ofinternational law at the Universityof Chicago.The speakers will discuss the re¬sults of the Big Three conference anddebate as to whether it settled all ofthe problems regarding Poland andGermany.Miss Eleanor Wiezor, Clerk ofRegistrations at the School ofBusiness for fourteen years, diedon Thursday, Feb. 8, of compli¬cations following an operation forappendicitis.

At William and Mary theforces of bigotry scored a sordid victory over freedom of expression.The William and Mary case, when brought together with the'recent University of Texas incident, is a menacing portent, for itmay indicate the line of attack against all liberal thought to becarried out insidiously during the postwar era.The full story of the William and Mary case will be found inthe adjoining column. But the most important detail, namelythat the administration possesses the right to curb and conrola college publication in its attempt to enunciate a progressivepolicy that extended even beyond the borders of the universityand into the very structure of American society itself, has notbeen emphasized. The danger is not so much that the authoritiesshould retain the power to control the newspaper, as it is that suchpower should be wielded to supress and crush valid intellectualand journalistic processes. At the Virginia school, it was therace problem; at Texas, it was labor; at Georgia, it was regionalpolitics and political boondogling.Of even more interest, however, is the stand which has beentaken in all three incidents by the student body. At Georgia, itwas the alumni together with matriculants at the institution whodrove Governor Gene Talmadge from the executive mansion andhis meddling with the university. At Texas, thousands of studentsdemonstrated in protest when President Howard T. Rainey wasousted by the board of trustees as he supported three economicsprofessors who had been replaced for defending labor’s wartimerecord. And at William and Mary, the student body unanimouslyupheld the editor and the newspaper. They preferred no news¬paper to one dictated to by authorities with such narrow prejudices.Are progressive student bodies to be submerged by ruthless andvested interests ? Are interests which fear free and open discussionof the rights of labor, of the position of the Negro, of research inthe field of social sciences to control the destinies of the Americaneducational process ? Moreover, why vested interests in educationin America at all? In short, is the university a vehicle of expres¬sion and indoctrination for a select few?The facts are pregnant with danger and disaster. Studentbodies the nation over should take note.Be At That Meeting!This afternoon at 3:30 in Breasted Hall a meeting of studentswill be held to determine whether or not this University is to havethe representative all-student council it needs so badly, or whetherit will have no council at all. Although the gathering is advertisedas being a commuter affair for the express purpose of securingequal participation in student government with the dormitory stu¬dents, it is actually more important than that.The assembly will have two major tasks: 1) an unqualifiedendorspipent of the principle of student government as the bestmeans to solve those campus-wide problems which we all recognizeas vital problems; and 2) the selection of a capable and repre¬sentative committee to meet with a similar dormitory committeeand work out an acceptable plan for government.But the first problem to be met at this meeting, the endorse¬ment of the principle, is the most important. Without such anendorsement, there can be no government of any kind. A truestudent council must, of necessity, include those people who makeup the greater part of the student body. And if an endorsementis to be forthcoming with the same unanimity and enthusiasm asshown by the dormitory students, then there must be presentat this afternoon’s meeting the overwhelming majority of com¬muters, so that there will be no doubt as to the validity of thestand taken by the assembly.This, therefore, is a great challenge to you students to makedemocracy a reality on your campus!

They conceded theexistence of anti-trust laws but de¬nied the effective use of them.The Stucky-Savage team held thattheir opponents’ line of thought ad¬mitted the hopelessness of achievingsocial justice and an equitable dis¬tribution of wealth. They pointed toa number of specific examples of re¬cent court actions against the trusts.Though these actions have been gen¬erally ineffective they maintainedthat with public support and cooper¬ation, free enterprise can be madeto work. Friday, February 16, 1945Betty SteamsSidelights on FootlightsOne might ask a very pertinent question about O.D.P.’s pro¬duction of “The Inspector General” presented last week. Did theyintend to put on Gogol’s satire, or did they intend to do a veryhumorous burlesque? If they strove for the former, they failed.If the latter was their goal, they were successful.The actors enjoyed themselves andthe audience was highly amused. Infact, there was only one flaw in theperfection of the evening—the may¬or’s last speech. For in such a bla¬tant interpretation, in which the com¬ic, rather than the satiric was stress¬ed, the advice to the audience on cor¬ruption was irrelevant.It becomes increasingly tiresometo engage in the device of relegatingthe O.D.P. productions to the ranksof farce and low comedy before theycan be discussed in terms of good en¬tertainment'. Moreover it seems apity to waste the talents of a groupof students so obviously inclined tooveract on a work which could bemost advantageously underacted.(See Gogol’s own notes.) There areplenty of plays which call for theformer type of treatment; “The In¬spector General” does not.But there’s no sense delving intothe realm of fantasy. The play wasfunny, and the actors deserve credit.Mr. Cohen, as the mayor of thesmall town, trying to bribe the mis¬taken inspector general, was laugha¬ble and consistent in the caricaturehe constructed. Although WilliamIvie, John Tarburten, Alan Boulton,Marvin Mindes, Curtis Crawofrd andEdwin Goldberger didn’t have muchto do, as the town’s political hierar¬chy, they were all adequate for theirparts. Margaret Kraemer gave arather strange portrayal of the may¬or’s wife, which under the circum-AroundThe TownReading the Constitution in SocialScience started Otto wondering ifperhaps it wasn’t time for yourAround-the-Towner to tell some ofthe newer readers, and possibly theolder ones, just what goes on in thiscorner of the Maroon, other thanchewing. So here goes enlightenment—guaranteed, among other things,not to make you think.At this point Otto amends our doc¬ument by adding that one of our mainaims is to discover the whereaboutsof Olga, obviously most gracious ofall lady tapeworms.Wiping weary brows and foldingour grey cell away for the winter, wegathered Otto up from his day-dreamsof Olga and headed for the WalnutRoom of Marshall Field.Since it was just 4:00 o’clock(MUST you ask why?) we were setfor a most enjoyable afternoon snack,a “spot of tea.”Tea in the Walnut Room is relax¬ing, refreshing and delicious. Fewplaces in this vwar-tense year botherwith the niceties of life, but Fields’seems to have realized the value ofpleasant surroundings, soft music anda light snack to revitalize at the endof a weary day.Piping-hot tea is drawn from high¬ly polished silver samovars, which areplaced on a long white-clothed table.Here tea, sandwiches, and temptingsalads are arrayed at their best. Anychoice is well worth the moderateprice asked.After a tiring day of shopping, teaat the Walnut Room is a reward tojangled nerves. Needless to say,lunch and Monday dinners are equal¬ly delightful. stances, was probably justified.Maynard Wishner did an elegantjob with the foppish Hlestakov. De¬veloped skillfully, the St. Petersburgclerk became real and believable.This character, with one exception,was the only one which might possi-bly have found itself in a more so¬phisticated presentation of Gogol.Roberta Unger did not, it is true,have a very large part. But, Russianingenues being notoriously difficult,she rendered the mayor’s invitingdaughter with ease, or whatever ad¬jectives one applies to silly younggirls, well played. The many othersin the cast, especially George Sorterand the versatile Robert Voas, didwhat they were supposed to do verynicely.The set, designed and executed byCharles Walls and Clayton Judy, wasexcellent, and so was the lighting.Eleven members of the UniversityOrchestra furnished incidental mu¬sic with the customary warmth.Fred GottesmanOne SelfThough the final act of World WarII is yet to be played, the world hasseen enough of the script to knowthat there can be but one ending—atotal military victory for the UnitedNations against our Axis enemies.However, the realization that politi¬cal ramifications of the conflict willshape our future for decades to come,is reason enough for taking a closer,more searching look at the words anddeeds of those Who shape our desti¬nies, and the implications which maybe drawn from them.What are the prospects that theunholy alliance between the Republi¬can old guard and right wing South¬erners will continue its control overCongress? The spectre of this coali¬tion has been haunting liberals forthe past five years. Will it continue?Two distinct events make it possi¬ble to hope that not only will the co¬alition be made ineffective, but thatit will be replaced by vigorous liber¬alism. For one thing, the bitterstruggle against Mr. Wallace’s ap¬pointment as Secretary of Commercecarries with it one promising implica¬tion. Speaker Rayburn, in his fightfor Wallace, has caused a definitebreak in Southern ranks. The line hasbeen drawn between him and Rankinof Mississippi. The pro-Wallacestrategy is sound and practical, andthe fight, as far' as the Southernersare concerned will be a showdown. Avictory for Rayburn and Wallace willmean the complete negation of Ran¬kin’s influence in Congress, and a se¬rious defection from the right wingstand of the ^urbon Democrats. .A second and completely unexpect¬ed incident occurred in Georgia lastweek when Governor Amall pushedthrough a bill to eliminate the polltax. This can only be interpreted asan indication of the steady and en¬couraging growth of native Southernliberalism. The Pepper-Albright-Ma-verick ranks are swelling.The rise of Southern liberals canonly mean a split in the unholy Con¬gressional alliance, and the incji.*eas-ing number of young progressive Re¬publicans can well spell the end ofany further serious obstructionismfrom the “hate-Roosevelters” on Cap¬itol Hill. .Friday.

In so doing, his personality issplit, and his whole purpose in lifeis turned to running away from hisformer self.The disconnected wanderings of aderanged mind, seeking to escapeharsh reality, are something entirelynew and different in movie material.The whirling mists of uncertainty,the shifting shades of shadow andlight, the aimless wandering throughendless mental catacombs are allskillfully woven together to producea pattern of bewildering emotion.In spite of the rather poor soundtrack and the faulty production whichoften characterizes foreign films,“Eternal Mask” did well in fixing it¬self in the minds of the audience. Theoriginality of its plot, streng:thenedby th€ accuracy of psychological re¬search and integrity in its presenta¬tion, held the audience’s attention tothe end.This is a touching story of life inthe deep South, which first appearedin 1852 in cereal form. (The truthof this becomes obvious to the book’smost casual readers). It concernsthe activities of a vibrant slave girlnamed Topside, who just glowed, anda fighting Southern Belle namedEve. These two girls were livingin peace, harmony, etc., in the pleas¬ant little hamlet of Rumancoke, Ken¬tucky, when the horrible news washeard that the census taker was com¬ing to Kentucky. Here the studentmust be reminded of the constitu¬tional provision which stated thatthree-fifths of all slaves should becounted in the census. The Kentuckycountryside became a scene of hor¬ror, desolation, etc. as owners setabout cutting all their slaves intofifths. The owner of the plantation,where Topside and Eve lived, was es¬pecially loathed to do this as she con¬sidered herself too old to do muchcutting up. The owner, a relative ofEve’s named Auntie Bellum, there¬fore, entrusted the carving to heroverseer, Simon Debris.The scene was so bloody thatLittle Eve could no longer en¬dure it.

The goddessmust pass through seven gates to en¬ter the underworld: at each of theseven gates she is deprived by thewarder of that gate of some part ofher attire.The score is prefaced by a para¬phrase of the Babylonian poem whichdescribes Istar’s entry into the under¬world and the article of attire leftat each gate.

Harper Memorial Li¬brary needs more reforms than youcould shake a stick at. I think Ishare the sentiments of a great manystudents who have made that braveattempt of all attempts—to get a bookfrom Harper stacks.Some time ago, when I first enteredthe University, I innocently trippedto the library, thinking that by areasonable process I would be able toprocure the desired volume.I eagerly looked up the call number,filled out my slip, and dropped it intothe wire basket. I waited, quite atease, for fifteen minutes.When twenty-five minutes hadelapsed I timidly, and most respect¬fully approached the counter anda.sked if maybe hadn’t somethingfrightful happened to the stack boy?(At this point I received a sweetsmile and the explanation that thestacks are very extensive, and it takesquite some time to go to a remotesection and find a book.)I went and sat down cheerfully,confident that my book would comevery soon. After about ten minutes,I heard my name called and I noticedwith horror that the attendant held inher hand, not a book, but my call slip.She must have pushed a little buzzersomewhere, for a smile flashed on.She couldn’t have buzzed very longthough; it flashed right off again.“This book has been lost since 1911.”I made a valiant attempt to keep mywits about me. I asked, “Why don’tyou remove the cards for these booksfrom the card catalogue? Then peoplewouldn’t expect to find them here.”Innumerable times since then, I havemade the same fruitless trip—to Har¬per for a book claimed by the cardcatalogue to be contained in the stacks—only to be told after twenty ortwenty-five minutes that “This bookhas been lost for simply years, mydear.”By the time I became a Fellow, Ididn’t think very much of the library,but, having a stack permit, I no longerneeded to spend endless hours ofwasteful waiting in W-31. I simplywent and looked for the book myself,and if it wasn’t there, too bad, but atleast I escaped the Courteous waiting.I was yet to discover the true malicethat lurkes in those walls.I had taken a book out on a Fellowcharge. I returned this book to Coun¬ter I in Harper W-31 in approximatelythree weeks. At the end of the quarterI was asked to come in and look overmy cards, make sure I actually hadthe books charged to me, return theones I didn’t want, and renew thebooks I still needed. Imagine myamazement when I discovered thatthis book was still charged to me.However, I pretended to the librarianin charge of Fellows and members ofthe Faculty that I still had the book,and need it for some time. I did thisbecause I realized that if I admittednot having the book, I would becharged for its loss, no matter howstrongly I might maintain that I hadreturned it several weeks before. Iimmediately rushed down to the stacksand looked on the shelves for thisbook. It was not in its place this first(Continued on page six)—B.

Cooperider, Jim Servies, BillDunn and Jay Barker. Led by FredCimerbatt, former University ballplayer, the outfield consists of BillKnapp and George Steele plus Ci-merblatt. Probable batteries willconsist of Lefty Hauck, Knapp andM. Corcoran at the pitching end andJim Vaughn, the only catcher outfor practice at the present time.There is a possibility of Dick Stough¬ton, C man, and at present a NavyMed student coming out if his sched¬ule permits.Anderson is considering the pos¬sibility of scheduling some Big Tenteams.Beyer Introduces ProgramOf Progressive Phys. Ed.Encouraged by letters of approvalto the Dean’s office. Coach ErwinBeyer, physical education instructorand gymnastics coach, has developedhis comprehensive athletic programto a new high. Several faculty mem¬bers took the course which was offer¬ed under Mr. Beyer during the au¬tumn quarter and in turn wrote theirfavorable opinions of such a program.Faculty Exhibition TomorrowAt the present time, about 30 fledg¬ling acrobats are working under thedirection of Beyer, in preparation forseveral exhibitions which they planto stage in the near future. In fact,tomorrow, February 17, they will de¬monstrate their skill before the en¬tire faculty.During a recent interview,. Mr.Beyer wished it to be made clearthat body building alone is nothis purpose. He has stressed so¬cial and personality adjustment,brought to being by the mutualassistances of the squad and theinstructor in the informal at¬mosphere of the gym. He aimsto educate the performers in thewise use of their time duringtheir leisure hours. As all im¬portant decisions are made byvote. Coach Beyer and his ac¬robats puts democracy into ac¬tion and into practical use. Thus,the men and women who are tak¬ ing gymnastics at the presenttime are becoming better citizensand better personalities throughthe carefully planned programwhich is offered at Bartlett Gym.ISSUES TWO BULLETINSMr. Beyer, deei)ly interested inathletics and their practicality and usein every day life, has issued two bul¬letins which are of interest to everyone concerned with any form ofsports. After careful study, he hascondensed several pieces of importantinformation which are commonly mis¬understood. Outstanding among hisstatements is that ’'the athelete’sheart” in the conventional meaning,is another example of foolish su¬perstition and is non-existent in fact.This athletic white paper also dis¬cusses the action of the heart muscles,muscular development, the muscle re¬lay system, the overload principle,which scientists now agree is the bestprinciple for athletic development,the specifically of activity or neces¬sity for all round development, thephysiological aspects of conditioningand exercise and the maintain of fit¬ness.In closing his own article, Mr.Beyer asks that if the reader shouldfind scientific evidence refuting anypart of his statements he would ap-preuiate the information. Wayne DefeatsChicago 54-42The rapidly improving Chicagothinclads, led by John Bokman,A1 Friedlander and Paul Russell,leave the Quadrangles next Sat¬urday for a triangular meet atIowa City with Iowa and North¬western. Coach Ned Merriam’smen bowed to a well-balancedWayne University squad lastSaturday, 54-42.Chicago won the 880, the two milerun, and the relay, placing second inall other events. The meet was scor¬ed on a basis of 6 points for firstplace and three points for second,each school entitled to only one place.Bokman Wins 880John Bokman, veteran cross coun¬try runner, covered the half mile in2:06, running easily with severalyards between himself and theWayne runner. A1 Friedlander raninto a little more trouble in the twomile distance as he just managed tonose out Pryor of Wayne in 10:59.The Maroon relay team of Bokman,Fischer, Russ, and Turtelotte tookthe mile relay for the only other Chi¬cago first.The University can look for¬ward to next Saturday’s meetwith Iowa and Northwesternwith but little anticipation.Iowa’s strength is as yet an un¬known quantity but the North¬western Wildcats have alreadyrun against Chicago and made astrong showing. Coach Merriambelieves Iowa to be in much thesame shape as the Maroons, witha yearling crop of trackmen.Such a situation may well re¬solve the meet into a battle forsecond place, after conceding thevictory to Northwestern.Some hope can be held for the Chi¬cago squad in the distances, hurdledashes and broad jump, but Merri-am’s team is very weak in the shotput, pole vault and high jump. Tur¬telotte of Chicago placed secondagainst Wayne in the broad jumpwith a leap of better than 19 feet butthe winning high jump was only 5feet six inches and Chicago was stillonly able to place second.Following the triangular meet atIowa, the Maroons return to the field-house on the following Saturday, Feb.24, for a meet with North CentralCollege. As usual, admission is freaand the meet begins at 2:30.Private School TourneyMonday night, February 19, willsee beginning of the Chicago privateleague basketball tournament, whenthe Chicago U high team meetsLuther on the long Field House court.The tourney wil continue on throughthe following Friday.
