His death is similarly a challenge^ a clarion call toAmericans of cdl political faiths and creeds to unite in the winningof the war and in the achievement of the peace for which helived and died.”These are times that try men's souls."And these are times of tragic historical parallel. AbrahamLincoln died in office and his work was shattered by the blindbigotry and narrow stupidity of grasping politicans. WoodrowWilson, an American of enduring greatness, suffered the same fate.Shall we similarly be crucified by our petty politics, by our blindobstructionists ?War is a challenge to youth.Let us unite with the new president; let us rededicate our--selves to the tasks remaining before us. Let us follow in thefootsteps of a great liberal and humanitarian for surely shall theylead us to the new world of justice and liberty for which he and somany million others have suffered and died.*'Mine eyes have seen the glory . . .—Abe KrashProminent Liberak ToSpeak Here at 2-Day^Anti-Bigof ConclaveAubrey Williams, one of America’s foremost progressives,was yesterday named the keynote speaker of a gigantic anti-discrimination conference to be staged on the University* campus,April 28-29.

A major purpose of ourfederal system is to divide power soas to diminish the intoxication whichgoes with it, so as to reduce the pros¬pect of tyranny when power is given,as inevitably it must be. With thetremendous increase in power nowflowing through government and cer¬tain te continue to flow, the need forchecks and for division becomes great¬er than ever before.“Something vital to the good lifeof a community is lost when peopleabandon control to rulers at a dis¬tance, however wise and beneficentthe rulers may be,” he said.« « «The Committe on Social Thoughthas announced two free public lecturesto be given in Mandel Hall during thenext month. .

But we are looking forward tothe day when the Bell System can again providetelephone service to anyone, anywhere, at any time.BELL TELEPHONE SYSTEM^Service to the Nation in Peace and War**A THE CHICAGO MAROONPage FourEditorialThe V-E Morning AfterNewspaper and telephone wires crackled aweek ago and within a few hours a stray rumorwhich had been magnified into a ‘‘Victory*^ giant.'galloped across the nation. Pent-up peace ru-:mors spilled over the dam to innundate even themiost cautious.While the false alarm was largely the productof wild-eyed, irresponsible persons, it neverthe¬less is a straw in the wind, indicating, of course,that the war is rapidly approaching an end inthe European theatre of operations and bringingwith it the letdown, tumult, and problems of thepost-war era.Only now, slowly but surely, is the real storyof the University’s contribution to the war beingmade known. The whole story perhaps will neverbe known. But as the curtain is drawn back onecannot but be impressed, and even awed at mo¬ments, by the vast and momentous role which thisUniversity has assumed in the war effort. In re¬cent weeks. University bigwigs have begun totake stock of the war and its effects on the cam¬pus. The recent boost in tuition is a direct resultof that survey. Problems of expansion, of remod¬eling of the curricula, of the role of the veteranare already under diagnoses.The University has traveled far down thetrail since the bleak days of ’41 when it appearedlikely that collapse of American educationalinstitutions was imminent. That the govern¬ment was unmistaken in taking cognizance ofthe important and significant contributions whicheducation might make to the war effort has beendriven home with brilliant and devastating forcein recent weeks.In taking stock, of the contribution whichthis University has made to the war, one mightnote the unending parade of army and navymedical students, of army language trainingunits, of navy meteorology units which havebeen trained here. The last vestiges of the once ^large program—the Civil Affairs Training School—is nearing completion of its agenda. Manyimportant wartime problems, including advanced #• • •research on military problems, the results ofwhich may not be made public for years to come,hdve been undertaken on the Quadrangles.Hundreds of members of the faculty haveserved the government in one capacity or an¬other. Thousands of alumnae and matriculatingstudents have laid aside their books.But the problems are just beginning. Themorning after V-E and V days and the days tofollow those glorious celebrations will presentthe real crises to American education. The prob¬lems of ’41 will perhaps seem petty in comparisonto the staggering question-marks which now con¬front university educators.For three long years Washington has pouredmillions of dollars into the University budget—22 million of 31 million doHar budget a year ago.Those financial burdens must now be assumed bythe University.Professors and instructors who have distin¬guished themselves in the war many times overare returning to their desks. They must be re¬integrated into the University program.Returning veterans and servicemen pose anacute problem of the first rank. The universityadministration, through the president, has al¬ready expressed concern over the standards ofeducation and the fear tjiat these may be loweredas a result of GI influx. While we cannot sym¬pathize nor agree with those who oppose statesubsidization of education, even when in a lim¬ited form, the fact remains that a problem oforientating the veterans and of framing a cur¬ricula to fix their needs, faces the University.Sermons are not in order. We have little ifany use for those officious busybodies who havebeen handing down edicts from on high askingthat all V-E jubilation be subdued, that all pent-up emotions be completely curbed. Let us byall means have a safe and sane V-E day. Let itbe a joyous day of Thanksgiving. But above alllet it be a reminder that a tremendous job, bothin the completion of a great war, and in therecovery from that war, remain to tax our in¬genuity and our strength and our wisdom.Here And ThereVeteran Professor Says IllinoisDe~EmphasizesLiheralEducationThe perennial battle between a ‘'liberal or cultural” and a“vocational or technical” education flared again on the nation’scollege front last week.CHICAGO MAROONOfficial student publication of the Uni¬versity of Chicago published every Friday dur¬ing the academic quarters.

April 13, 1945 THE CHICA60 MAROONNew Co-Ed AcrobaticClasses Here HailedAs Major InnovationBy John K. RobinsonA firm believer in his code of physical education, Coach E. F.Beyer, champion gymnast and expert.acrobat, has aroused wide¬spread interest in recent weeks through his promotion of co-edgymnastic classes on the U. of C. campus.The national sportlight was focusedon the program a week ago whenLook magazine contributed a three-page pictorial review to the classes,unique iry physical education.“Real physical education, as all edu¬cation, should rest on scientific prin¬ciples,” said Beyer in one of his briefpractice interludes. “I believe thatathletics and a ‘rah-rah’ college spiritSchwab ListsHis MusicViewsBy Sam GoldenThe main problem in an interviewwith Joseph J. Schwab, Asst. Pro¬fessor of Biological Sciences in theCollege and Examiner, is to find away of adequately translating hishighly expressive vocabulary into thelanguage permissible in a newspaper.For Mr. Schwab, “Music, like theother arts, consists in the properordering of a large num¬ber of diverse parts. Theact of appreciation is tobe found in the capacity,on the part of human be¬ings, to apprehend and react in someunknown way to this ordering. The“parts” of a piece of music may bethought of in many different ways.There are the conventional parts ofmelody, harmony, and rhythm; but al¬so the melodies may be arranged ingroups, or the harmonies in particularprogressions, or there may be keychanges, etc., each of which contributesits share in% constituting the orderwhich is the musical whole. “Similar¬ly, emotions and ideas for which thesounds and their arrangements aresigns (conventional or perhaps real)also are comprised within the musicalwhole.”The listeners can then comprehendthe music when, consciously or un¬consciously, they are able to dis¬cover the form of the part relation¬ships. But, Schwab emphasizes, it isthe music itself, not the emotionalassociation (impressions) which itinduces, that is (musically) appreciat¬ed by the audience. The question ofwhy the form of a piece of music isappreciated is, according to this lineof thinking, “a mystery which hasnever been solved.” We now see adefinite conflict between Mr. Schwaband Elder Olson, whose views ap¬peared in The Chicago Maroon ofthree weeks ago. Olson goes so faras to say that the artistic form of apiece of music is in the sequence ofmoods which it represents; Schwabdenies this by saying “the emotionalmoods can only be considered ^as ob¬jects of imitation in a metaphorical,not literal sense; for emotions are notsounds, and music is.”In his own personal taste, Schwabprefers Mozart to Tschiakovsky, andhe claims that he can justify this pre¬ference in his mind on the basis ofthe more perfect assimilation of theparts to the whole in Mozart, “6utwhat constitutes ‘more perfect as-,similation’ is beyond my power toformulate.” can be over-emphasized in an institu¬tion which has dedicated itself to thebuilding of a well rounded citizenry.Of such an overemphasis I suspectthis University can not be said to beguilty. Such recent malpractices asplaying injured men with the soleidea of winning instead of contribut¬ing to the development of the wholeperson, has made it difficult for physi¬cal instructors who wish to follow theethics of the profession to work,” heobserved in connection with his inter¬connecting physical education withthe social, physical, and biological sci-.ences in daily class lectures and ac¬tivities.The success of the newest ofthe department’s ventured, the co-. ed acrobatic class instigated byBeyer in the fall quarter, hasproven that men and women de¬rive more, physiologically andpsychologically v'^hen working to¬gether, than is the case in manyseparate classes. This group is,however, only one of a dozensports classes designed by thecoaches to promote bodily relaxa¬tion and relieve tension.An ever-growing interest in thegeneralized basic phys. ed. surveycourses 101, 102, 103, designed tocover a wide variety of sports in sea¬son, has stimulated, during the pastthree quarters, participation in thespecialized instruction at the 200 level.These surveys, arranged by CoachesPaul Derr, Joe Stampf, and Beyer,have been remarkably productive withmen in every department of the Uni¬versity, from first year students tofaculty all taking an active interest.The co-educational class, an extra cur¬ricular activity, may become a regular¬ly offered course, if its leader, whoat present has a 2A draft classifica¬tion, remains on the faculty.Coach Beyer, distinguished oncampus for his black bowler hat,raises tropical fish, goes canoeingon Lake Michigan, and is an ac¬complished pianist. A native Chi¬cagoan, he has been on the ath¬letic staff since ISS^, when he re¬placed D. L. Hoffer, “the grandold man of gymnastics” as fresh¬man co’ ii. He received his B.A.from the University in 1939, andrecently was awarded a Mastersin physical education from GeorgeWilliams College.Comp RoqistratiohTo Close April 14April 14 is the last day to registerfor all Spring Quarter comprehen¬sive examinations for completionof the requirements for the Mas¬ter’s and Bachelor’s degrees in theDivisions and Schools and forcompletion of the College require¬ments.

On the con¬trary there was furious clamour forexpanded and looser art form, withvers litre and the monologue interieurbeing exploited to justify the mostperverse extremes ini formlessness,and such phenomena as the Dadiastsand Jean Cocteau cutting their capersto the delight and sanction of all.But today the tables are turned, andthe evidence admits Oswald a chas¬tising I-told-you-so.There is increasingly visible onevery side an ominously significantreaction in favor of rigid discipline,strict adherence to form and pattern,deliberate emphasis on structure anddesign. The best example of thisabout-face may be found in theFrench poet Louis Aragon. In 1920,as a leader of the Dadaist Movement,he was calling himself the GlassSyringe and enthusiastically co-en¬gineering the Down-With-Everythingcampaign. Today, chastened and sub¬dued by twenty years of exhaustingsterility and the ravages of WorldWar II, he has emerged a sober mas¬terful verse-smith, consecrated to hiscraft, and producer, in Le Creve-Coeur, of a dozen of the most per¬fect and deftly wrought poems ofhis generation. His metamorphosiswas inevitable. A man cannot existindefinitely on skepticism alone.Sooner or later, if he can find nobetter refuge, he will come to an ex¬cessive cultivation of form and crafts¬manship. If’ he has nothing to say,at least he will say it artfully, ele¬gantly, superlatively. A commonenough situation, reflected plainly inthe immaculate syllabic pattern ofMirianne Moore, in the similarly de¬signed poetry of Dylan Thomas, inthe flashy mannerisms of E. E. Cum¬mings.But the most conspicuous exampleof this tendency in English poetryis to be seen in W. H. Aulen. By wayof testimony, we have from RandomHouse this week, in an attractivelysober and unpretentious format,Mr. Auden’s own selection of all that“he wishes to preserve of the poetryhe has written so far” (blurb).It’s an impressive array, 226 poemsin all, ranging from the precocious‘Doom is dark and deeper than anysea dingle’ down to the dazzling Seaand the Mirror. And despite the large¬ly ineffectual ascent into a quasi-Eliotesque mysticism in For the TimeBeing (Auden’s Christianity-via Kier¬kegaard is too would-be, too desper¬ately deliberate, to be convincing),the salient feature of all these poemsremains their astonishing exhibitionof verse technique. — R.

Among thesubjects were Geonetics 208a (more or less rural genetics); Rural Sanitation358; Stack Methods 101-2-3-4 (or how to spend one’s leisure time in thelibrary); Draft Dodging B (for men only); and a fascinating course, Statis¬tics 503.

The 13 scenes, rang¬ing all the way from a New Englandtown to a speakeasy night club, areheld together by the presence of astrolling minstral. This winning gen¬tleman seeks to establish the thesisthat the world is happier when it issinging. Now this is all very well,but somewhere along the line “SwingOut Sweet Land” misses the mark.Listening to old songs can be en¬trancing, as Burl Ives proved, butwhen the singer has no musical qual¬ity in his voice, and furthermore doesnot tap tke warmth which lies in this folk music, then calisthenics are adisappointment.. Burl Ives with his wonderful,dry manner was the chief re¬deeming feature of the evening.A group of Negro singers onstage too little of the time, lentthe afore mentioned warmth,which is so essential to any likemusical form. The dances, ar¬ranged by Doris Humphrey, were,when they could be distinguished,excellent.You won’t make a mistake by ^ingto see “Swing Out Sweet Land”, es¬pecially if you get in on the secondact.

(Story on Feature Page).Jack HiUTime InA Fairy Tale: Installment IVWe think that the game lastSaturday calls for this fourthinstallment of what is rapidlybecoming a steady feature onthis page. The Illinois Techdebacle, and that's about the onlything we could say in print, wasbad, admittedly, but the Univer¬sity has turned in some bad per¬formances before. So What?Chicago has 11 more games aheadof them. Their first game is behindthem now and our only hope is inforgetting that one. When we saywe, that means the team and thespectators too. For some reason,nearly everyone we’ve talked to isreconciled to the fact that this Uni¬versity is done as far as athleticsgo. This is not the case, at leastin our estimation. Chicago can bejust as good if not better than anyother school in the midwest. Ifall the wiseacres in the stands, theboys who were having such a goodtime laughing at what was going onoutW the field, went out for someof the athletics that are open,things might not be so bad. Atleast they could stop shooting offtheir mouths or stop being satifiedat what they have done in othersports. Enough of that.The boys from Hevanston are com¬ing here tonight. They have a strongbaseball team probably stronger thanChicago’s, but with a little luck, theMaroons can win. Tomorrow, Chicagogoes up to Northwestern. On thosetwo games, the rest of the seasonwill probably hang, because two morepastings like the Tech game plus theprevalent attitude on the campuswould be enough to lick the St. LouisCards. There should be a lot of fing¬ers crossed both tonight and tomorrowfor two more-beatings may undo allthe work which has been done towardsgetting the University of Chicago intoactive Big Ten competition.Buy War Bonds Baseball andTrack StartThe college track team opened itsoutdoor season yesterday afternoon ina meet with Concordia High on StaggField. For Monday afternoon, another meet is scheduled for the thinclads of the cinders, this time withLeo High, also on Stagg Field. Thetimes for these meets are not toogood as the track is still not in itsbest shape, nor are the boys.Nevertheless, a good season appears tobe in store for this team, built arounda strong nucleus of indoor men and alarge turnout of new material.Behind the Field House, the knicker-bocker boys are keeping the fieldwarm with practices and games.There’s a good turnout for the dia¬mond cutters, which has been some¬what cut by Coach Stampf’s droppingof the less essential players. Theteam is scheduled for a game with astrong Latin High squad this after¬noon at 4:00 on the Fieldhouse prac¬tice field. Maroons DropFirst Fracas;Team JitteryChicago To Play NorthwesternHere Today; Then Evanston. After starting their season ina not too aspicious manneragainst Illinois Tech, Coach KyleAnderson's Maroon ball clubfaces a two game series withNorthwestern this weekend.The Evanston team, led by tworeturning regulars, will play onthe Greenwood field at 4:00 to¬night and Chicago will return thecompliment at Evanston tomor¬row at 2:30.By booting the ball too manytimes and not being able to hit,' Chicago was helpless against Techas the Techawks ran away withlast Saturday’s game, 18 to 2.Coach Anderson used three pitchers.Bill Knapp, Lefty Hauck and DickStoughton, pitching in that orderwith Hauck coming off the best ofthe three as far as earned runs goTech went into an early lead in thefirst inning and what looked to be arally was stopped off for Chicagowhen Thomasma was called out atsecond base on a very close play.The Maroons were never able to ser¬iously threaten after the first inningalthough three men were called out athome plate in later innings.Anderson has expressed the be¬lief that today’s game will be a muchcloser affair as many of the Chi¬cago players who fared so badlywill have lost their first game jit¬ters. Batting has been stressed inpractice during the week while thefielding, especially in the infield hasalso been a focal point.Still stinging from their first gamemany of the players have also beenheard to remark that “the next onewill be different”.' Any complacencyon the part of team members hasbeen erased and Chicago should fielda much better team tonight. No ad¬mission will be charged.Complete Schedule for BaseballChicago Girls WinMeet from MundeleinLast Saturday the Basketball Play-Day for girls underwent a suddenrevision in plans when four of thefive competing schools failed to showup.

Your new writeroffers only vague opinions; or worse,as in his latest review, almost noopinion at all. As a musical acquaint¬ance said', in reference to this review,“I would prefer a review with mis¬taken values to one which says noth¬ing.”As mere reporting the review ofthe Schnabel recital fails to informthe reader that more than one workwas included on the program. Therewas virtually no concrete informa¬tion about the music or how it wasplayed: there was certainly nothingto aid the reader in understandingwhat was profound music—and sel¬dom performed music, at that. Andthe earlier review of the Schneider-Kirkpatrick recital fails even to men¬tion the name of the encore; theremust have been several hundred peo¬ple in the audience that night whowould like to know its identity.
