Vol. 4, No. 34 Z-149 Friday^ March 9, 1945 ^ Price Five CentsU of C in BIG TEN DEBATEWhafs Behind ThisTuition Rumor ?An EditorialLike drops of oil on a cement floor, rumors that the tuitionwould rise in the future spread out over the campus this week. Atfirst taking the appearance of chit-chat, the story that the adminis¬tration would be forced to ask for an increase in tuition graduallygained form until, at printing, the rumor seems substantial enoughto indicate that the measure will be taken.Unofficial hypotheses are rampant. Some ideas offered putlight on the fact that less interest is expected on the investmentsof the University. Hence a loss. In the recent comptroller's report,part of which was reproduced in the University of Chicago Maga¬zine, any Soc. 2 student can see that a drop in interest of nomore than one per cent would cause a loss of $700,000 a year.Another version, which seems valid enough, is that added onto the probable loss through investments, the University plans toincrease its student aid program over the $600,000 mark of lastyear.With these facts in mind, our office theorists say, it can easilybe understood why the administration, when faced with the choiceof cutting student aid or getting the money elsewhere, decided onthe latter. *Then there are some who say that the increase will never bewanted, needed, or sought by the University.(Continued on page four)Phoenix Due;First EditionMarch 21stPhoenix, a new news magazine,which will give complete coverage otmajor events, actions, and ideas willappear on campus on March 21st.

Bill Lenz,editor, declares that the feature de¬partment “will atten.pt to give criti¬cal analyses of lectures, music, andart . . . will be a catalyst for creativetalent on campus,” the news will be“objective” and “though the editorialpolicy will be specific and liberal,there will be an attempt to cover allsides and space will be given to anyperson with reasonable ideas.”“An attempt will be made to stir upstudent - interest in problems con¬fronting them as students of theworld,” Lenz said.He added that the name of the pa¬per was selected as a symbol of theUniversity of Chicago and its stu¬dents ... a symbol of a fighting de¬termination to progress.The faculty adviser for Phoenixwill be Professor Mortimer J.

Diederich,Assistant Professor of Education atthe University!College enrollment after the warwill be doubled by the veterans re¬turning to school and the number ofyouth whose place in the labor marketwill decline sharply as veterans crowdthem out of the available jobs. Prof.Diederich warns in the Universityof Chicago’s education journal forMarch, The School Review, in an ar¬ticle on “Simplifying A CrowdedSchedule.”“If existing colleges cannot meetthe situation—and no one pretendsthey can—then the larger city schoolsystems will have to,” Prof. Diederichwrites. “The situation is made toorder for them to do what they havelong wanted to do anyway.“Until new buildings can be built,the easiest way to take care of an in¬flux of students beyond grade twelvewill be to turn the present seniorhigh schools into four-year collegesbeginning with grade eleven and thejunior high schools into four-yearhigh schools, covering grades, seven,eight, nine and ten.“Already the University of Chicagohas cast a powerful stone at thepresent structure of the liberal artscollege by granting the bachelor’sdegree at the end of the usual sopho¬more year and by adding the last twoyears of the usual high school to itscollege program,” Prof. Diederichcontinues.“If the Chicago plan does not be¬come universal, it will at least betried in enough places to have apowerful influence on the developmentof the secondary school program.”Criticizing the forty-minute classperiods in high schools for “produc¬ing a generation of young peoplewho, for all their virtues, are ob¬viously overstimulated, unintegarted,and superficial and for making hashof “the lives of teachers,” the Univer¬sity of Chicago professor calls for areorganization of the academic day.Religious Review #C.

Theywill be given by eminent scholars ofChina. Topics included in the serieswill be literature, education, societyand philosophy. The first lecture wasgiven Wednesday night, and the next,“On the Recent Developments inSociology” is scheduled for March 30. Leininger felt that co-ops mustmaintain political neutrality, sincethey represent the interests of variousgroups. He favored a mixed'economyin which co-ops did about 25% of thej^total business, the government con¬trolled certain industries, and the restof the economy was privately owned.Ann Morrissett and Pfc. Norvell sawco-ops as a means of obtaining social¬ism and were in favor of Socialistsentering the co-op movement to edu¬cate the members in the significanceof co-operation. Miss Walowitz point¬ed out that economic and political in¬terests are inseparable and that co¬ops should join with labor in a politi¬cal party, as has been done notably inEngland, Canada, and Austria. Sherefuted Leininger by asserting thatco-ops, which in cities deal primarilywith foodstuffs on the consumer level,can never of themselves solve theproblem of exploitation on the pro¬duction level, whereby the worker getsless than the full value of the goodswhich he produces and therefore isunable to buy back his share of thegoods produced.© 4^ iFrom Twilight to MidnightMarine Dining Room1Offers the MosLin Dancing Time,Beautiful Floor Shows, ExcellentDinners in an Elegant AtmosphereEMIL VANDAS'ORCHESTRADOROTHY HILD DANCERSTWO VARIETY ACTSDancing: 7:00 to Midnight, nightiy except MondaysShow Time: Tuesday thru Saturday 8:30 & 10:30Sundays: 7:30 and 10:30 P.M.Monday Evenings: Organ musicDinner service as usual—and because there is no dancing orfloor show on Monday evenings, there is no cabaret orluxury tax levied.Telephone Longbeach 6000 for reservations.IAaJ-cZSIc/L.5 10 0 BLOCK SHERIDAN ROAD-40'CHICAGOPage FourTHE CHICAGO MAROONOfficial student publication of the University of Chicaffo, published every Friday during theacademic quarters.

From there on, thestudents took over, elected representatives, held two meetings.At a meeting of commuters, a committee was elected to meetwith dormitory representatives. They met once. Then they metagain. At the last joint meeting a Committee of Six was electedto study various proposals, choose the best one, and offer it to thestudent body for a referendum. Everything seems to be going fine—except for a few small items. 1.) At the last meeting of all therepresentatives, less than half appeared, 2.) the Committee, whichmet yesterday, had few plans to examine, 3.) doubt exists thatanyone will be present Wednesday at the next general meeting tohear what has been decided.Where are the zealots and the orators and the we-want-a-representative-student-council men? Surely the women who wereso interested in their ^‘rights” have not forgotten them. We can¬not believe that the dorm and commuter representatives whosaid that they wanted to disolve any distinction between the twogroups, now think it should stand. No, we must be uninformed.Sure, they have forgotten.But where are they?Comps are over, a new quarter is coming, we are winning thewar, spring is here, and—could that be it? Spmg?So Think About It . . .(Continued from page one)And what if th increase is coming?What form will the reaction of the students take?Will we prance and rave, and paint glaring signs, march toMandel Hall, boo the president, send ultimatums, curse capitalismand the “favored 400” ? Will we imitate, on a more glorious scale,the actions of the hyper thyroids of that famous institution on thenorth side of the City Beautiful? Or will we wait for all the facts?Will we sit down and think?From the right to cut classes, down to women's hours andheckling Adler, the student has been given the exceptional oppor¬tunity of making his own decisions and finding his own scale ofvalues. If we students of the University are prone to bigotry andsmugness it is not due to famous football teams or movie staralumni but because we have a tendency to laud our use of rationalthought and a bit of logic now and then—rarely do we get a chanceto exhibit. But, if the rumors are true, if more money will beneeded for tuition, then this is it. This is our chance to show offthat rationality which is our primary claim to fame.In the news columns of this paper can be found evidence ofthe policy of the University; three fellowships are announced; theHonor Entrance Scholarships amounting to $594,000. are to beawarded in the fall quarter; another newspaper will soon appearon the campus; Labor Rights is affiliating with the USSA. Lookaround. Fraternities and AYD on the same campus. Discussiongroups in every entry at Burton and Judson. The young, shaky,but still existent Student Council, with commuters and dormitoryresidents working together for the first time in the history of theUniversity.In every instance the Administration has displayed a rational,and liberal attitude, for the general good of the student body. Nowwe have the opportunity to do likewise.We need not go to extremes in thinking on this problem. Andfor some, perhaps many, it will create a problem. We need not beas precise as Bill Washington when he asked for the formula fora Windsor Knot. But if we use our minds, instead of our vocalcords, if we ask for the facts instead of making up our own, if weseek the answers as students rather than underpaid gladiators,the Administration will hear us and give us the whole story. Andour calm and rational thinking will have been justified.

The firstpart of the letter ended with thewords, **there are times when it ishard to decide. . . . The letter con¬tinues.)There is no remedy for a social evilthat grips so many people as does awar in modern times. There are onlymeasures that can help relieve theintensity of that evil, and is whatthe colleges of the U.S. can do mag¬nificently. The returning warrior hasled an unnatural life in many respects.He has had in most cases a night¬marish emotional existence madeworse by memories. There he has insome regions of the earth met youngwomen, he has found them too oftenviolating the principles of sanitationto an undreamed of, disgusting ex¬tent. If he has been lucky enoughto avoid this, he has probably foundthem otherwise strange in their be¬havior, artificial in their attempts toplease Americans. If ever young boysneeded straightforward, honest, under¬standing young women, now is thetime. The need extends to far morethan human physiology. G.I. Joeneeds to be retaught a lot of notionsand attitudes and a “swell gal” is awonderful teacher. To a major ex¬tent the emotional rehabilitation of theboys who are now fighting depends onhow little the American girl deviatesfrom the lofty pedestal upon whichthe boys have, in their absence, placedher. Every indication of uncleanli¬ness or superficiality or haughtinesson her part will unavoidably kill some-Dave JohnstoneTHE CHICAGO MAROON —Here And ThereCurfew Yet;Princeton -And No BeerllMore For YourSince the scope of this column isnecessarily limited, we shall try torestrict our criticism of the winterissue of CARILLON to its poetry;save for the general observation thatits flood of “realistic” prose remainsunchecked. Of the subjective stories,the most masterful is Marjorie LaddBrown’s THE LONG EARTH. It ismost masterful because Miss Brownhas taken the time to draw out hercharacters; the others, notably ArleneJanzig’s HOW GROWS THE GRASS,seem to be chopped up imitations ofrequired Humanities readings.John Harmon’s poem THE HELL¬BENDER suffers from its uncomfort¬able likeness to Van Dyke’s FLOWERIN THE CRANNIED WALL. TheRomantic technique suffered through¬out the 19th Century from its con¬scious contemplation of poetic objects.Through THE HELLBENDER wouldhave not been considered as a poeticobject, Harmon will not be disownedby his ancestors. He has cast a mostvalid sonnetform. The title is un¬fortunate, because HELLBENDERconnotes a vitality which is subse¬quently denied. Indeed, the am¬phibians had to be yital to invadethe land; they bent their environmentby virtue of bending themselves, suf¬fering leaky hearts, which should beesteemed as sacrifices on the altar ofthe Greater Good. Harmon is blind tothis contribution. A particularly goodcouplet isNew seas are ours, thin air fromwhich we send MeasureSharp shadows across the curvingridges of the hills.The line preceding it, “spun bridgesover water, expressions of ourdreams”, could perhaps have beenprofitably condensed. We suggest toMr. Harmon that he get his philos¬ophy in order. As it is now, hispoetry is somewhat “directionless andclumsy”, alternately compressed anddiluted, modern in image and archaicin form. But excellence requires along adolescence and Harmon haspower, though it is n9t yet unified inan effective blast. We can damn himwhere we cannot damn the salaman¬der, for the salamander must be rev¬erenced as a noble ghost. Harmon isnot yet noble, but he is not a ghost.He is a force, still to fulfill its func¬tion. He can not linger “lost betweenthe water and the slime.”Of the others, one is forced to won¬der if QUID MULTA were written inparagraph form it would still be apoem. Lincoln Steffans was right:one cannot criticize white space. . . .SLUMMING elaborates the tritenessof “carrion beasts”, “romantic mad¬men”, “disquiet ghosts”.... RETURNmight have been an acceptable “real¬istic” short story: at least it st;andsas a good working outline. . . . THECONQUEROR’S quickness of meterin the closing triplet belies the moodof futility it attempts to portray. Theimages are trite and as everyday asthe intercepting prose line betweenthe two emotional conditions, as ifLin Emery suddenly got tired of it all. thing good and aspiring in him.But let’s not kid ourselves. Whatwe can do in aiding an unfortunategeneration is far less than what wecan do in helping build a new strengthin our society, and pitiful as it maybe to see the alert youth of 1940stagger through the streets in 1945,a beaten man, we have to turn ourmain energies to preventing futuresimilar disasters. We’ve seen overon this side of the ocean what a coupleof all-out wars can do to a people,how it makes for disloyalty, immoral¬ity, hate, and other conditions foreignto oui likings. It could happen justas inevitably to America.Our only weapons for defence areideas and more ideas. The fight fora free life and a superior socity is afight that doesn’t end or begin withartillery salvos, or naval bombard¬ments, or aerial attacks, it’s a con¬tinuous fight that is apparently noise¬less and requires good health anduntroubled minds to discern the issues.America can provide the least“troubled” minds in all the world byvirtue of her good fortune in beingfurther from the war’s destructiveaspects than all the other belligerents.Schools like the U. of C. or North¬western are perfect for just such atask. There in a beautiful climate andmost friendly spirit a man can pursuehis ambitions in an atmosphere offreedom and semi-paradise. There hecan leisurely, but earnestly, studywhatever he chooses to master anddiscover for himself the relationshipsbetween his chosen field and societyat large. But the time has gone whenone could fairly take all that and givenothing in return. If we want allthese good things to contine we mustanalyze the conditions that threatento take these things away from us anddo something ^bout it.We cannot any more be chemists ordoctors or lawyers or housewives andlet the rest of the world go hang,because in so doing too many of uswill get “hung” also. We didn’t givea “damn” in the 1930’s or in the1930’s and we were promptly damnedin the 1940’s. What happened wasnot an accident and can, if we permitit, happen again.A man is apparently a strange an¬imal. He’ll build a city energeticallyand then a nation. Then he will linkone nation to another with trade andbusiness. Somewhere along the line,however, he seems to lose sight ofwhat he needs more than anythingelse in order to maintain and preservewhat he has wrought.I ask you, his teachers, and you,his sweetheart, and you his colleagues,to remind him that the people whowill do the worthwhile things tomor¬row are the ones who are busy master¬ing some one thing today. For thesake of the most important things inour lives please help him!The world over here is just comingout of a bad dream. A consciousnessis being born, a realization of thegreat things men can do when theyact concertedly for a common causeand a realization of the mischief thatcan be caused when they don’t. Anew period of peace and constructiveeffort is begging to be born.

THE CHICAGO MAROON Page FiveSearch For Noun For Platonic,Mayer And Adler And Miss - -“Tell me, Miss X,” said Mr. Mayer,cleaning his fingernails with an oldphi Beta Kappa key that happenedto be hanging from an otherwiseempty watch chain on the front ofMr. Adler; ^‘is it my wit, brain,beauty, or brawn that causes you toblush and stammer when Mr. Adlerasks you questions?”“Well,” said Miss X, blushing andstammering, “do you want to knowwhat I think or what Aristotlethinks?”Mr. Adler looked hurt and dis¬mayed. “Miss X,” he intervened,“haven’t you ever read Supibivides’discourse*on the Thessolonians’ dis¬position to confuse Eros with Aris¬totle?”“No,” Miss X admitted miserably.“Don’t you even know who Supibi¬vides is?” Mr. Adler queried, hardlyfor information.Mr. Mayer beetled his broWs (thisis not to imply that Mr. Mayer hasbeetles in his brows) and poked Mr.Adler. “Of course she hasn’t readSupibivides,” he said, disposing ofthe entire Educational System withone sneer; “she 'hasn’t been com"pelled to read it yet.”Mr. Adler turned an approvingeye on his 37-year-old protege, thenturned back to Miss X. “Now MissX,” he continued, “whenever I” (hemeant “me”)—“or Mr. Mayer askyou a question, you may be sure wewant your own thinking.”“Although,” Mr. Mayer pointed out,“Mr. Mayer is not averse to yourquoting Aristotle, if you must, orAdler, to illustrate your thoughts.”“But to go on—” said Mr. Adler,laughing heartily to illustrate hisGood Nature; “but to go on with ouroriginal question . . . Miss X, whatwas the nature of the original ques¬tion?” '•Miss X opened her mouth, and Mr.Mayer put in, “Come now. Miss X,don’t let Mr. Adler intimidate you.”. “I—” Miss X said.THIRTY POEMS, Thomas Merton(New Directions; $1)Merton is a poet who has embracedthe faith of his fathers artisticallyas well as spiritually; nonetheless, heis to be included among the moderns,belonging to that particular schoolwhich reacts against the involved im¬ages of the leading contemporaries.He is modern in the sense that hisimages stand out now strongly agaistthe rippling pattern of his sounds,now almost completely submerged.The effect of the whole poem is thatof a river, a same misty serenity per¬meating both quiescence and turbu¬lence.In THE MESSENGER, Mertonportrays “some sentry at the rim ofwinter. Fed with the speech the windmakes. In the grand belfries of thesleepless timber”, a more or less im¬personal intelligence that regards theconventional damnation of man com¬placently, yet “waits to warn all lifewith the tongue of March’s bugle.Of the coming of the warrior sun.”This “intelligence” evidences a deepregard for Nature, which eagerlyawaits the challenge while Man shiv¬ers at the prospect of growth.' “When Gabriel hit the bright shoreof the world.Yours were the eyes saw someStar-sandelled stranger walk like “Ma’am?” shouted Mr. Mayer, cup¬ping his shell-like ear.“Well—I’m only Human,” Miss Xinterposed, “and I—”“Only!” said Mr. Mayer in the samegentle manner. “I always thoughtthat was pretty High Class Society.”“Well I mean,” added Miss X.Mr. Adler intervened, hoping some¬how to raise the level of discussionwithout raising it to a level of dis¬cussion. “Miss X,” he began, lettingX=0,* “to clarify the point here, whatdoes Aristotle say are the pleasuresof the animal and those which aredistinctively Human?”“Or as my old man used to say”,explained Mr. Mayer, “ ‘What kind offun do you get out of talking to allthe women?”Miss X pulled Aristotle from herbosom and began to leaf through itfrantically.Mr. Mayer lifted a cigarette fromFrom a modest beginning in 1891,the University of Chicago Press hasexpanded to become the largest non¬profit organization of its kind in thecountry. Now under the directorshipof Joseph Brandt, the Press publishesonly-non-fictional works.After an unsuccessful start as aprivate corporj^tion, under the direc¬tion of Daniel C. Heath, the Pressbecame a part of the University in1894. In 1902 the Press moved intoits present quarters, a building at thecorner of 58th Street and Ellis Avenuedonated by John D. Rockefeller.During the two years of its privateownership only five volumes were is¬sued. The next few years, however,marked the publication of 127 booksand pamphlets, among them ProfessorJohn Dewey’s The School and Societywhich is still selling. At this timelightning down the air.The morning the Mother of GodLoved and dreaded the message of, an angel.”Of Merton’s life, suffice it to saythat he is under thirty-five years ofage, has been educated here andabroad, and is at pre^nt enrolled ina Trappist monastery; of his work,that it is for those who seek escapefrom the modern imbroglio and a cer¬tain amount of licking of intellectualsores and, in this writer’s opinion, itwill not last . . . for all its music.D. J.♦ ♦ ♦Black Boy by Richard WrightFor your Don't Miss list this week,we give you Richard Wright’s auto¬biography, Black Boy. The story ofthis colored boy from Mississippi andhis life-long rebellion against racialprejudice should rouse in its whitereaders a blush on behalf of thoseof their own race who fight to keepdown a man like Richard Wright.It’s beautifully written—stern andrealistic in the story of the fightagainst actual starvation and the deeprooted prejudice of the South; simpleand delicate in the story of his dis¬covery of nature and beauty. M. A. Mr. Adler’s back pocket. Mr. Adlerlooked at his watch impatiently, tap¬ped his fingers on the table, and said,“Well, I’m afraid Mr. Mayer and Iwill have to be leaving, as we havea dinner engagement with theLSWCPBPAG. But think over thisquestion during the week.”He rose, slipped quickly into hishat and coat, straightened Mr. May¬er’s bowtie, and they left.Miss X looked at the rapidly flee¬ing class, and asked vacantly, “Whatis the LSWCPBPAG?”A passing graduate student glancedpityingly at Miss X, and explained,“The Lake Shore Women’s Commit¬tee for the Perpetuation of theBeauties and Philosophies of An¬cient Greece. It’s sponsored by Mar¬shall Field’s wife’s third cousin’s nieceon her father’s side.”“Oh,” said Miss X happily.* X=chi=Xomposite Xo-edDewey’s experimental school here atthe University was attracting the at¬tention of educators throughout thecountry.To commemorate the first ten yearsof its existence and the University’sthe Press published 28 volumes inthe greatest series of scientific pub¬lications ever attempted by any in¬stitution. These “Decennial Publica¬tions”, including Jacques Loeb’s Stud¬ies in General Physiology, Dewey’sLogical Conditions of A ScientificTreatment of Morality, and Young’sScientific Method in Education addedgreatly to the prestige of the Pressand of the University. As far as thePress itself was concerned, the “De¬cennial Publications” were its firstgreat venture in the field of book pub¬lishing, and both in content and intypographical format they establisheda standard which has influenced itswhole subsequent history.Diverse fields have been covered byPre^s publications. A few of themany series are the “Oriental Insti¬tute Publications”, works devoted tothe culture and civilization of theNear East; and departmental seriesin the fields of Social Science, PhysicalScience and Medicine. In the field ofreligion, Edgar J. Goodspeed’s trans¬lation from the original Greek of theNew Testament has had more salesthan any other Press book and istoday the favorite translation of thou¬sands of people because of its vivid,understandable language.Establishment of learned periodicalswas urged from the beginning byPresident William Rainey Harper;those published by the Press nownumber eighteen.Co-operative projects with otherpresses have also been undertaken.Largest of these is the Heath-ChicagoLanguage Series. Begun by a seriesof textbooks for teaching French or¬ganized by Dr. Otto Bond of the De¬partment of Romance Languages, itexpanded to include similar series inGerman, Spanish, Italian and Latin.All of the books grew out of experi¬mental work in classes, where theywere tested in mimeographed formbefore they were published.

This week we received a patriotic bit: “To the Editor—Dear Sir: Carillon—Oh, God!! (And we’re supposed to save paper these days,besides). Yours truly, A refugee from tenth-rate Freudian short stories.”>(<Bright IdeaLast Sunday at the Club Zanzibar jam session, several of our brighteryoung club women put their heads together and began thinking of a club-sponsored jam session for the benefit of the Red Cross drive. It may comeoflf this Monday evening; the place is undecided though (U.T. would be theperfect setting). ♦ ♦ ♦Burton Judson's Hinky DinkNightly riots have been disturbing the peace and calm of the variousBurton entries, in particular, the 500 entry. It seems politics are subjectof controversy; the other night a most fascinating event occurred. Thechief of the “Fourth Floor Liberals” who is also the president of the firstyear of the College was caught on hands and knees by the keyhole of theroom in which the “Lower Floor Progressives” were holding a supposedlysecret meeting. Our students are beginning to act like Latin-Americans.* 4> «Practical Application of Soc.Another interesting communication was received by the Maroon thisweek on the subject of how to avoid the probabilities of fatal spinsterhood.The document was compiled by a Soc. 2 student who evidently was worriedby approaching old-maidage. The most salient point of the discourse wasthat in Sweden a woman married at the age of 26.7—so if you’re 20 you cango to Sweden and have a career for 6.7 years and then get married (provided,of course, that you haven’t scared away all the men in that time).GossipGerry MandelPs engagement to an RAF man was just announced. She’snot planning to be married until after the war—and then she’ll live in Eng¬land. ♦ ♦ ♦1 riviaMarilyn Burkhart sang over the radio Thursday. Beth Carney left forWashington Sunday to take over her new job as staff assistant on theAmerican Red Cross. The campus’s most pressing peeve at present is theremoval of the comfortable chairs from the College Library—it seems they’vebeen put in the men’s dorms (the men simply must have their lounge chairswhile the poor commuters sit in suffering). We can’t figure out whose faultit was—the printer’s or the Sigma Chis’—last week’s Maroon said that theSigs had pledged one Lotiise Basile.« « «Weekend PartiesDespite coipp blues, social activities filled the campus. W.A.A. had asquare dance Friday night. Pi Delt, Sigma Chi with Phi Sig, Alpha Delt,and Chi Rho all had mad brawls Saturday night. The last fully lived up tothe glorious old tradition of pre-war parties (lots of men, good music, andgood food) despite the lack of liquor. The little problem was solved bycommuting to the Phi Sig house for beer and bad bourbon (it must have'been bad—next morning one forlorn soul was found sleeping peacefullyunder the piano). * ♦ ♦Spring Must be HereOn one of the balmy days, recently, we spotted a daring young lady tryingto climb out a window on the third floor of Ida Noyes—she planned to takea sun bath out on the roof (which, of course, has been strictly verboten sincelast summer when some females, clad only in brevity, yoo-hooed at the sail¬ors). We hear sundry reports that Art Wiesender has been entertainingfemales in his room. We don’t know what this has to do with the comingof spring—but, anyhow. Rod McLeish has acquired a large horse whip.* ♦ *Terrorism at GatesIn the wee sma’ hours of the morning about three weeks ago Lois Loweran screaming down the hall over at Gates. But nobody believed her storyabout the creature that had ventured into her room. Finally this week(when she had toll house cookies again) some of her fellow residents hap¬pened into her. room—and screamed loudly. They too had seen the thing.“It” is a large insect aptly named T*he Galloping Bug—it gallops about onits thousand or so legs, wags its mouse-like tail, and generally makes itsfour inch self obnoxious. ♦ * ♦Nothing in Particular ’Wednesday morning saw the epitome of frustration—^the entire Maroonstaff sitting in the corridors of Lexington Hall, locked out. They triedclimbing in through the windows (which, incidentally, have been washedfor the first time since the building was condemned), called frantically forJulius, and finally jimmied the lock (yes, the talents of the staff are manyand varied).

Any¬way, once upon a time, the Uni¬versity of Chicago had a facultyand administration majoritywhich actively supported ath¬letics. Yes! Really!One of our great former presi¬dents, Mr. Harper, made a speechat the dedication of Bartlett Gym¬nasium. In his speech, Harper re¬marked on the relief he felt at theinstallation of the new building. Itwas his philosophy that athletics,physical education, and competitiveplay were important parts of a wellrounded education. That’s some¬thing of a different tune from thatwhich has been heard in recent yearsfrom certain University leaders.It’s true, a very still and very smallvoice has been gaining strengthwith many faculty members but asyet, the voice is in a minority.The greater Chicago newspapers,especially the sports sections, love topan the University. For some reasonknown only to God and/or BertieMcCormick, we can’t do a damn thingright. But, we ask the press, and weask you—^what kind of encouragementis it for our teams when the oft-quotedphrase, the end of which reads, “Ilie down until the felling goes away.j’,is echoed in their ears. Can the ath¬letic department or the athletes beblamed when the President takes theattitude of sports being a ‘necessaryevil’? Certainly not.It seems that pink tea parties andrecitals, the well loved of the pseudo¬intellectuals and campus fairies, areexpected to take the place of football.Big Ten basketball, etc. Perhaps theomniwise leaders of policy, voiced pol¬icy that is, don't like sports for Chi¬cago, but it (U)esn’t look as if theArmy and Navy hold anything againstathletics. Time and time again, menwho really know, men who have notlived cloistered campus lives, have saidthat large scale, well encouraged, com¬petitive sports can play an invaluablepart in military training and in train¬ing citizens for life in the world asit is today.This develops into an appeal toyou, the readers, the interested ad¬ministration and faculty members,and any sports writers of Chicagofor comparison’s sake, the attitudewho chance upon it. Compare, justof some of the other Western Con¬ference schools as to athletics. Theyhave well-balanced scholastic pro¬grams and good athletics to boot.Seemingly, our President and certainfaculty members do not believe thetwo to be compatible. A gradualchange is coming over many of theprofessors and deans, but this changehas not as yet made itself felt.Girls’ Swim TeamLoses OfficiallyTo Teacher’s CollegeLast Wednesday afternoon the Chi¬cago girls’ swimming team faced theChicago Teachers College in an of¬ficially scored meet. The time on theofficial lanes were telegraphed in toa central place which was receivingthe results from similar meets allover the country, and according tothe times, was defeated by the Teach¬ers by three points. However on theunofficial lanes (judged by eye with¬out a comparison of watches) Chicagowas the winner. College Basketballers EndSuccessful Season With WinThis last week saw the closing ofthe 1944-46 basketball season for thelads of the first two years of the Col¬lege and the presentation of awardsfor the season. Those receiving majorletters included co-captains Bill Grayand Julian Hanson, Chuck Parlin,Norm Heffron, Lional Eubanks, JerryReaven, Dave Blumberg, and BobSchallman. In addition to the eightmajor awards, minor letters wereawarded to Matt Jenetupalus, andPete Everson.This past season was perhaps themost successful in the history of thelower College. The bucketeers woundup the season with a record of sixleague games won and four dropped,which put them in the fourth placeberth of the Private School Leagpie.Moreover, for the first time in theschool’s history, this year’s clubweathered the first round of th epost-season Private School Tourney andadvanced all the way to the play offscopping the fourth place trophy.Throughout the regular season thebucketeers massed a total of ten winsand eight losses and scored 370 pointsto the opposition’s 355.In the scoring department thepoints w^re very evenly dividedamong the usual starters, Hanson,Heffron, Blumberg, Raven, Schall¬man, and Gray. However, Bill Grayled the scoring barrage and receiveddeserving laurels.
