Advance ordersindicate that the book may become abest-seller.The most essential aspect of democ¬racy, Field holds is “freedom ofaccess to facts.” On this ground heurges the amendment of the rules ofthe Associated Press, world’s largestnewsgathering agency, to permit ad¬mission of such newcomers as theSun, extension of the use of publicopinion polls, establishment of safe¬guards against possible control ofradio channels by “vested interests”and extension of college education to“all who can take reasonable ad¬vantage of it.”A large portion of the book is de¬voted to the history and purposes ofPM and the Chicago Sun, both ofwhich were founded, he asserts, withthe primary objective of fighting anenemy that “is always the same.”“We call him Facism or authori¬tarian. Today he wears a Germanor a Japanese uniform; tomorrow hemay be an industrialist or a laborleader or a newspaper publisher.

Mayer IssuesStatement OnDeath of FDRThe death of President Rooseveltwil not affect the outcome of the war,according to Milton Mayer, in a state¬ment released this week to The Chi¬cago Maroon.Mayer’s statement in part follows:“I do not see how the death ofMr. Roosevelt can effect the conductof the war. I suppose military ma¬chines, like all other machines, mnpretty much by them selves when, thegrand strategies having been laid out,they are set in motion. No upset inthe grand strategies seems likely now.The war is al over but the shooting.“As for the character of the peace,that, too, seems to me to have beenshaped firmly during the past threeyears, beginning with Darlan and Dar-lanism. Roosevelt was unable or un¬willing to defy Churchill’s determ¬ination to “keep what we have” orStalin’s determination to swallowcentral-eastern and southern Europe.Truman endorses Roosevelt’s policyof unconditional surrender and apeace of vengeance; a policy whichwas also acceptable to Churchill andStalin.“As for the effect of Mr. Roose¬velt’s death on domestic affairs, theaccession of Truman should bemeasured against the might-have-been accession of Wallace. Trumanis a symbol of “normalcy.” If Gov¬ernor Bricker is “an honest Harding,”Truman is an honest, liberal Harding.But he is still a Harding. Wallace isthe single, consequental remainingsymbol of New Dealism. With thecountry going Right very rapidly, itmay be that an honest, liberal Hard¬ing will stave off violent conflict anddisaster a little longer than an irre-consilable New Dealer could havedone.“It may be, too, untimely as Mr.Roosevelt’s death is, that its very un¬timeliness wil be salutary in depriv¬ing American liberalism of what wasrapidly becoming a father figure, andin compeling American liberals toface the genuine weakness of theirposition against the resurgence of re¬action, a resurgance which Rooseveltrecognized in his' recent appointmentsand utterances.”4 MONTH INTENSIVECourse forCOLLEGE STUDENTS and GRADUATESA thorough, intensive course—start¬ing Februaij, July, Oaober.Registration now open.★Regular day and evening schoolthroughout the year.

Universities in Amer¬ica, almost without exception, conducted approp¬riate rituals and exercises as the administrations,the faculties, and the student bodies joined tomourn and to honor.But the reaction at this University—one ofthe great institutions of the world—^presents astrange and most remarkable contrast. Not onlydid we proudly display the “business as usual'*shingle, but the administration, the faculty, andthe student body, as if at a prearranged signal,simultaneously collapsed into a state of apathyand inertia. Here there were no services. Therewas no pause. We did not honor.On the contrary, the machinery of this Uni¬versity, such as it is, literally fell apart. ThePresident of the University was not available'at his home for press comment at 9 p.m., whenthe editors of The Chicago Maroon were toldthat “the president had (sic) retired." Sub¬sequently a 23-word declaration was released by‘the Office of Press Relations. Every other Uni¬versity president in America had come beforehis students and his faculty.None of the deans with whom responsibilityis logically vested acted promptly and with de¬cisiveness. The administration floundered in amorass of indecision.The religious groups on campus were befoggedand befuddled. Though lamps glowed in everychurch and synagogue in the land. RockefellerChapel was blacked out. . . . The Dean of the chapel was speaking over a municipal radio sta¬tion.In the midst of a war, only five hours afterthe death of the Commander in Chief, a baseballrally was scheduled—and held. On the day of thePresident’s funeral, when men fell to their kneesto thank God that such a man had lived to guidethe nation through its most troubled years, theUniversity of Chicago proudly presented a three-act “world premiere." . . . The show must go on.It is indeed a sad and most tragic commentary.To denounce every individual on campus wouldbe useless, for no one can truly be charged withthe gross neglect that prevailed. Of recentweeks, the lack of a student government has beena popular whipping boy for all failures. And toour way of thinking no more elequent demon¬stration of the need for some form of coordinat¬ing council could be found.If this is the result of a liberal education, ifthis is the end of training men and women toact as rational beings, then our educational sys¬tem is a tragic failure. If the result of a freeeducation is only to foster and to develop inde¬cision, to destroy every last shred of sensibility,to render us no more than robots and automatons,then our scheme of learning has been ill-con¬ceived and mismanaged.This has been the proudest boast of a liberaleducation—that it freed men from their intellec¬tual shackles, that it was new, fresh, and original.But if it has only blunted our minds as thiscase so numbingly indicates, there is somethingradically and inherently wrong.We shirked and were found wanting at atime for greatness.Are we mummies?CHICAGO MAROONOfficial student publication of the Uni-▼enity of Chicago published every Friday dur¬ing Uie academic quarters.

R.:Your doctrine of “Dungie Democracy” is a rather desperatedefense for an otherwise inexcusable lack of pride and dignity inthe women on this campus.The disreputable appearance ofmost of the girls here is certainly up¬held by a lofty ideal,^ and I would becontent to drop the matter now andput up with these eyesores, if Ithought that democracy was an ap¬propriate reason for their unsightlyapparel. But can any sensible girl,no matter how blindly liberal, con¬vince herself that looking like a wetdog is the way to stress democracyon this campus? Why must you al¬ways head towards extremes ? Isthere nothing in between your ap¬pearance or lack of it, and that ofa “kitten-like fern”? Does it requirea million dollars to dress tastefully?Such artificial self degradation is farfrom the way to achieve “real democ¬racy”.It is gratifying to find that someof you girls are here to improve yourminds; it is also interesting to notethat most of those who are here inthat capacity have the good judge¬ment to dress decently. But thereare always exceptions, and of you Iask, why must you affect a superstudious disregard for social obliga¬tions ?My dear Miss M.R., what is yourcriterion for an attractive woman?Is a girl who, though possibly beauti¬ful, lacks the good taste, good sense,or ability to appear presentable whenin public, to be considered attrac¬tive? A misguided sense of democra¬cy is not the sole rource of charm ina woman.You eloquently mourn the fact thatrespectable apparel requires frequentchanging . . . How about the poorold “Dungies?”If you girls have no personal pride,think of those about you, and thinkof the appearance and reputation ofthe campus. You have spoken of“glamour colleges;” perhaps theA.S.T.P. isn’t the only group whowould like to see just a little moreglamour on this campus.They say we are here for a liberaleducation; remember, culture isn’t all in the mind.Yours, disgusted at your doubledisappointment,Nauseated NedASTP Beau BrummelsTo The Editor:In reference to the flattering letterpublished in the Geisha Gazette andreferred to in the April 6 editionof The Chicago Maroon, we, the un¬dersigned, as a representative (?)group of emotionally immature wo¬men on campus, wish to complimentthe ASTP unit on their strikinglychic appearance. We completely ap¬prove of the new color scheme; thedashing olive drab, blended with thesoft mellow tones of the sun-tanshirt, make a stunning spring com¬bination. The fact that the jacketsare always neatly buttoned and theties neatly tied, and the pants neat¬ly pressed, and the dainty shoes high¬ly polished, are an indication of dis¬criminating taste. As they marchacross campus, heads erect, capsperched at a jaunty angle, they areindeec^an inspiring spectacle.The stage of emotional maturityreached by these model young menis incredible. It is unfortunate thatthese brilliant students of Japanesewill not be here for the extendedperiod of time that will be requiredfor the coeds at the University tomatuije sufficiently to meet their highstandards. We really fumble at thegreat honor of having such a manlyand particularly gentlemanly groupof young men on campus.Regretfully, apologetically, wor-shipfully yours.Some jean-wearing, bobby- socked,Frank Sinatra fans(Names Withheld Upon Request).The Show Must Go On?To the Editor:On April 13, America was bowedin a terrible grief—^places of wor¬ship were filled with the millionswho sought solace. On April 14(Continued on page 7)6?(5 Friday. April 20. 1945 THE CHICAeO MAROON fag# Bv#'ChicagoFamed Thruout WorldForMonopoly On Nobel Prize WinnersRespected throughout the world of learning, the Uni¬versity of Chicago has, today, every right to be proud ofits six Nobel Prize winners, for, with the forty-fourth anni¬versary of the Nobel Prize this year, twenty-five Amer¬icans have been recipients, five of whom have been U. ofC. men, and another, a German winner, has transferredhis work to Chicago.Dean Arthur H. Compton, Charles H. Swift, Distin¬guished Professor of Physics, whose worldwide researchhas made his name practically synonymous with cosmicrays, and Dr. James Franck, eminent chemist and physi¬cist who resigned his position at the University of Got¬tingen the day Hitler assumed power, are the two highlyhonored men who today are members of the faculty.Compton and his collea^es are working on the problems,fraught with tremendous possibilities to mankind, of releasingatomic energy. At the age of 10, this physicist-to-be wrote a paperon the difference between three-toed and five-toed elephants. At16 he built and flew his own glider. At 17 he was photographingstars and planets through his own telescope, and while still ahigh-school pupil lectured on astronomy to college upperclassmen.His discovery in 1927 that energy is actually matter gained himthe Nobel Prize for that year. Today he is probably the world’sforemost experimentalist in the field of radiant energy.The first American to win the coveted award, Albert AbrahamMichelson, Professor of Physics, became the authority in the fieldof optics. He measured the speed of light with an accuracy neverbefore approached or believed possible. Retiring from the facultyin 1930, he continued his experiments with the speed of light untilhis death in 1931.In 1912, Dr. Alexis Carrel was given the award *Tor hiswork on muscular ligature and on the grafting of blood vesselsand organs.” Carrel began this work as a member of the Phy¬siological Laboratories at the University in 1905 and 1906.Robert Andrew Millikan, experimenter in electricity, and thephotoelectric phenonmena, has re¬ceived scores of awards and honorsfor his distinguished research. Theyear that Millikan won the Nobelprize, 1923, Compton joined the fac¬ulty. Following Millikan, fourth Uni¬versity man to be honored, was thefirst man to show that electrons,known to be particles, have the prop¬erties of waves: Clinton Joseph Da¬visson was of the class of 1908, andshared the Nobel award with GeorgePaget Thompson of the London Uni¬versity. Dr. Davisson has for sometime been a member of the Bell Tele¬phone Laboratories of New York.The final name on the list is thatof Professor Franck. He shared theaward with Gustav Hertz in 1926.Just as President Harper’s first an¬nouncement of the new Universityattracted scholars from all over theworld, so have the outstanding ac¬complishments of Chicago scientistsbrought scholars from the old world.Today, Dr. Franck is instructing inphysical chemistry in the Divisionof Physical Sciences.The freedom of research here to¬gether with the excellent facilitieshas atracted outstanding scholars tothe University. A great deal of re¬search, much of it carefully guardedby the war department, is now un¬der way on the Quadrangles and willperhaps be a candidate for futureNobel awards.Piresident SpendsWeek In New YorkPresident Robert Hutchins willreturn Saturday from week-longconferences in New York City.Hutchins conferred with officialsof the Encyclopedia Britannica, aUniversity adjunct, and draftedplans for further study by the Com¬mission on Freedom of the Press,a group of which Hutchins is chair¬man.Buy War Bonds Betty StearnsSidelights on FootlightsIf you went to live in Driftwood cottage, the scene of MauriceDunn’s play, you’d have a pretty irrational time of it. I wouldn’tgo so far as to say that “Driftwood,” presented last Friday andSaturday nites by O. D. P. is irrational, but merely that it isbuilt with an inferior grade of theatrical timber.The plot turns around a Universi¬ty of Chicago professor, who, dis¬illusioned with society loses herselfin the Indiana dunes to find a newand simple life. Diana, as she is nowcalled, takes great pleasure in com¬muning with nature, but evidentlydoes this in such a state of undressthat it disturbs the more respectableinhabitants. Her “man” Gregg, whohijack liquor for thirsty prohibitionthroats, finds a sailor in the cabinone night, mistakes his identity, andkills him. Gregg escapes from prison,aided by Loma, the leader of hisgang, who also has her eye on thisdesirable male. Faced on one sideby capture if he returns to Diana,and unhappiness if he spurns histrue love, Gregg is set free whenDiana gently pushes a knife betweenhis ribs.It is not within my realm, or evenmy powers, to suggest solutions forMr. Dunn’s technical problems inwhat would prove to be a lengthycritical field day. Perhaps, however,the addition of a sub-plot would stab¬ilize the action, now improbable dueto incomplete character development.By invent i n gaction to in¬volve the frus¬trated Blakeand the artistphiland e r e r,Marden, not on¬ly would thesetwo be providedwith firmer mo¬tives but theyin turn mightlead to a fur¬ther explana-t i o n of the1920’s of Gregg and his gang. Whe¬ther the sub-plot is used makes nodifference, M)ut a way must be pavedfor these numerous forces to act with plausibility on Diana. Somethingought to be arranged for the sailortoo, now in his deus ex machina hea¬ven, who was necessary to pointDiana’s escapist tendencies, but mighthave been less obvious. If we areto accept the central idea—Diana’sdiscovery that there is no freedom,even in nature—then Mr. Dunn isgoing to have to give his actorsmore material on which to work.This includes dialogue not quite sostrictly dated.Martha McCain, did on the whole,a splendid job with Diana. She man¬aged to make the dialogue at leastbelievable, which was a feat underthe circumstances. The three beach¬combers were skillfully played byElizabeth Reisinger, Marabelle Smithand Jean Cooke. Sid Burks gave an ex¬cellent Marden, carrying on in styleeven with a broken foot. John Tar-burton as Gregg did well, as didCurtis Crawford and George Voasin the roles of Geno and the sailor.Roberta Unger did a good piece ofstock work with Blake, and Sis Er-sner was adequate as Loma. Thestaging and lighting were distinctlyprofessional, for which Charles Walls,Lorie Dodge, and Alan Boulton areresponsible.The original music by Arpad Elosounded a bit like Schoenberg to me,but it was effective, and served itspurpose if it helped Miss McCainthru her more dramatic moments.Flag At Half MastAs a result of gubernatorial pro¬clamation, the flag on the Universitymastpole will fly at half mast for onemonth in commemoration of formerPresident Roosevelt’s death.The flag is lofted briefly to the topof the pole and is then lowered tohalf staff. Quadranglesiscellany.■kM••m3y'Thespian TributeThe end of the third act of “Driftwood” proved the mostinteresting time of the evening. During the play a group of stu¬dents sat anxiously in the first two rows and strove mightily toconceal a large box and a larger bundle; the former was especiallyhard to hide, for an odor (white fiax) emanated strongly from it,despite the tightly closed lid. Came the end of the act and thefirst curtain call—^when up sped two modern Mercuries (one was arather unusual looking female and the other an unusual looMngmale) and literally threw the contents of the box and the bundleat Sid Burks and Roberta Unger respectively. Bewildered, Sidput his hand up and removed a large wreath from his head (it isimpossible to describe it, though we can say its crowning featurewas a pink plush monstrosity supplemented by flowers, some knownto God and some to Woolworth’s, on a base of pink pussy willows).Miss Unger was the proud recipient of three large calla lilliesdedicated to the Lily of the Hoosier State. On last word, Sid wasstill scrubbing the scent from his brunette locks.4> « «PeopleRachielle Cohn is leaving school this qnarter to be with her man who’sjust returned from overseas . . .

Theentire was made extremely arduousfor both the North and South by oneof the bad habits of the northern sol¬diers. They were so used to marchingthat they were unable to stop even intheir own houses, as is shown by thecontemporary song “Johnny comesmarching, home!” This practice soonwore out a huge percentage of North¬ern rugs, forcing Northerners to lookto the South for more. The men whowent to the South to ask for morerugs were generally known as the carpet beggers. In retaliation fornot finding any carpet, the carpetbeggers planted in the South the Dem¬ocratic party, sectionalism, etc. It isgenerally acknowledged that it wouldhave been far better to have plantedthe carpet beggers The solution ofthe problem was found in an elasticrug invented by several British noble¬men who became so prominent thatthis is also known as the Era of theRubber Barons.In the north at this time a wave ofpatriotic fervor gripped the country.Streets, parks, and towns were namedfor heroes of the war. In Chicago, forStreets, parks, and towns were namedIllinois’ three greatest men of theera, Lincoln, Sheridan, and Broadway.Pag* Six THE CHICAGO MAROONATTERED MAROONS Friday, April 20, 1945Maroons EnterTriangular AtNorth CentralOpening its 1945 outdoortrack season, the Chicago Ma¬roon thinclads will participatein a triangular meet withWheaton and North CentralCollege at North Central’s trackin Naperville, Illinois Saturday.Holding victories over both op¬ponent schools in the indoor sea¬son, Chicago goes to Napervillea slight favorite although CoachNed Merriam’s team has lostsome of its strength since thewinter competitions.The Maroons will probably travellight, carrying at the most 10 men,all of them participating in two ormore events.

There will beno admission charge.Chicago took an early lead in thefirst half of the first inning Wednes¬day against Evanston when theNorthwestern moundsman Ed Schultzpassed out five free tickets to firstbase. The Maroons managed tocapitalize on the walks with the as¬sistance of one Northwestern errorto push across three runs. North¬western came back in the second halfof the same inning to score four ofits own men and to take a lead whichit never relingnished.Chicago was charged with 11errors though Maroon twirlers werenicked for 16 base hits.

Thornton considers its teamsenough to join the Suburban League,which is made up of such track-re-knowned schools as Oak Park andNew Trier, and Blue Island is thoughtto be the team to beat in the Southernhalf of Cook County.The Chicago teams gave ampledemonstration of their skill by wal¬loping St. Leo, 70% to 42% in thesenior division and 64 to 32 in thejunior loop last Tuesday afternoon.The junior victory was greatly aidedby captain Bob Linsicome’s 35%points. This amazing total was earnedwith six wins in the 50 and 100 yarddashes, the 110 low hurdles, the discusthrow, the broad jump and the highjump. Linsicome’s second place inthe 220 yard dash, his third in theshot put and his running of the anchorlap of the junior relay rounded outone of the best all around perform¬ances ever made on the Stagg fieldtrack./Friday.
