Peace DraftRobeson Pleads: Vision, EqualityCharges Conscription Cost HigherThan Totai Spent tor EducationBy RUTH WACHTENHEIMAt a protest meeting Wednesday, the politicalaction committee of the Labor Rights Societypass^ a resolution assailing the adoption ofpeacetime military conscription at this time.University President Robert M. Hutchins, andWynant Kult, international repre¬sentative of the United Auto Workers(C.I.O.), both condemned the measureset for a hearing before the HouseMilitary Affairs Committee June 4.“It would cost from two to threeand four billion dollars, or more thanthe entire cost of the nation's educa¬tional system,” Hutchins pointed out,emphasizing that the cost of trainingmen is greater than the cost of theircomplete education.“If youth by 17 are unhealthy, im¬moral, undemocratic, one year willnot alter that status. If we wanthealth, morals and democracy, weshould start earlier and do more.”“If military conscription is neces¬sary, we must have it,” he agreed,“but if we have a large army, itshows that we have lost the war.Are we free from fear if we need amillion boys to fight? Whom are wegoing to fight and when ?

It is this conviction, in part,which leads him to believe that“they're going to get somewhere outin San Francisco”. His songs, and theaddress that followed were inter-1rupted with applause.Throughout his talk, which was de¬livered extemporaneously, Robesonemphasized that the threat of fascismis ever present and must be combat¬ted, not by “an elite leading the dumbmasses to freedom”, which is a fascistideal, but by the entire peoples of theworld today, who “will not be denied.”He warned that we must not be sway¬ed by those people in our midst whoare trying to confuse us on the issueof unity; “if we had no unity wewould not be winning the war.” Heconcluded that we must “have thevision to give what we have to thefuture, to establish what can reallySee ROBESON, P. 7, Col. 2 Heavy Enrollment SpurtSeen; University ReadyTo Handle Former G-FsBy ELLEN ENGLARAn expected minimum influx of 1,000 veterans within the^st three years following partial military demobilization wasforecast yesterday for the University by administration author¬ities.Machinery for handling ex-GI's hasalready gone into action on a comparatively small scale in connectionwith the 127 veterans who are nowregistered on the Quadrangles.University officials said yesterdaythat adequate classroom and teachingfacilities will be available but thathousing will constitute the criticaproblem.

The tests willeliminate the confusion arising fromthe tabulation of credits and willreflect actual knowledge and intellec¬tual maturity gained by a veteranwhile in the service. The new ad¬mission requirement is also based onfears previously enunciated by Uni¬versity solons that government sub¬sidized education will result in . alowering of academic standards.Under the GI Bill of Rights a vet¬eran is entitled to 1 year of educa¬tional training if he was in activeservice 90 days and if he has beenhonorably discharged. A veteran whohas spent more time in active servicethan 90 days is permitted to continuehis studies in direct ratio to the totalperiod of Inis service.

Appointed during the lastweek of March this group has met regularly with DeanLawrence A. Kimpton. Among the items on their agendaare problems of commuting students, returning veterans,the advisory system, the residence program and studentpublications.The first two sessions were devoted to defining theaims of the College and of liberal education.Meeting with Kimpton and Milton Mayer, of theOffice of Public Relations, the group has currently beenevaluating and revising the orientation program forentering students. Shifting the emphasis of orientationfrom the social to the academic attitude is the purposebehind minor changes being made in the summer Ori¬entation Program.

This isthe first time in history the barracksroom has the reputation for beinga health resort or the proper placeto uplift morals.”“It teaches men to fight; it teachesthem discipline, but certainly notdemocracy. Democracy involveschoice. There is no chiice in thearmy.”He emphasized that “there is noevidence that conscription protectsplaces from attack—as witness Franceand Poland.” He charged the meas¬ure. as being “proposal to keep thecountry on a war basis indefinitely.”Hutchins urged that the questionbe “postponed until after the war.Steps should be taken only when itis irresistably clear to a calm andinformed majority that there is noother way to save our country.”Kult presented the trade unions ap¬proach to the problem. “A majorityof the soldiers come from labor, solabor should have something to sayabout peacetime labor conscription,”he declared.

DeLee, founder of Lying-in, was presented overWMAQ last Saturday at 3:00 p.m.The program, sponsored by theAmerican Medical Association andNational Broadcasting Association,was climaxed by a speech on medicalresearch by President Robert Hut¬chins, and the presentation of certifi¬cates to 56 long-service employees.The occasion marked the close offifty years of service for the Hospital.During that time, nearly 135,000 ba¬bies have been bom in the hospitalor under the care of its home serv¬ice. In the single year ending June,1944, Lying-in took care of 4,911bed patients, and delivered 3,581 ba¬bies.Valuable research and teachinghave been carried on at L3dng-in.Ergonovine, used to prevent hemor¬rhage after childbirth, is one of theHospital’s discoveries. Refinementshave been made at Lying-in in thetechniques of the Caesarian opera¬tion, permitting its wider and saferuse. Thousands of medical studentshave learned the method and stand¬ards. More than 750 residents and in¬terns have been given advanced in¬struction in obstetrics and gynecolo¬gy, and some 5,500 nurses have re¬ceived training in obstetrical care.Today, the hospital maintains ageneral clinic, with greatly reducedfees, for those with limited funds,and a private clinic for those whocan afford to pay the regular profes¬sional fees. Admission to the generalclinic is on an income basis.No woman who needs help is turnedaway from Lying-in for lack of mo¬ney. During the year ending June,1944, 11.4% of the patients caredfor paid the full cost of the servicesthey received. 83.8% paid part ofthe cost, and 4.8% paid nothing at all.The Chicago Lying-in Hospital andDispjensary was merged with theUniversity Clinics in 1938.

His has been truly a “maternity to eternity” campaign.There are many campus wiseacres who are probing for an ulterior motive behind hisrecent speech-making tour, but we doubt that the president has any shockers tucked in hissleeves. Rather are we inclined to believe that Mr. Hutchins, after his long sojourn fromthe students, now has a genuine desire to become more closely associated with his studentbody and to understand more fully its beliefs and its aspirations.As the official University spokesman, his comments are always weighted with signifi¬cance. As a brilliant speaker and satirist, his barbs and truisims are of never ending appeal.Mr. Hutchins will be a welcome guoBt at any gathering.La CritiqueIt is a sad but true commentary that onejournalistic corpse after another now litters thecampus. In recent years many a happily launchedventure has collapsed after its first few appear¬ances. nalism, is the only method for attaining the endsto which all University publications are unalter¬ably committed: Service to the student bodyand to the institution.Cleaning HouseThe arrival on campus, however, of The Criticis a bright milestone in the campaign to enun¬ciate student opinion on campus, for it fills along-standing void. Meanwhile, blueprints forthe future call for a new literary quarterly, arevamped Handbook, and the revival of Cap andGown, the University pictorial annual.While the infant edition of The Critic is nota finished product, it represents what we believeto be a step in the right direction. Too manyliterary pieces, worthy of publication, are pro¬duced in classrooms and in spare moments onlyto be later discarded for lack of a proper pub-(lication medium.The only danger latent in such a publicationand in all new journals is that they will tend tobe dominated too largely by one special interestgroup or clique. A “pervading philosophy” maybe essential; narrow factionalism is intolerable.Therefore definite measures should be takenby all publications, assuring all interested yvrit-ers an opportunity to serve and to display theirworks.Such a policy, based on realistic liberal jour- The remodeling of their long antiquated in¬ter-fraternity constitution comes as the mostprogressive step taken by fraternities on thiscampus in recent months.Especially enheartening to campus liberals isthe possibility that Negro groups may now af¬filiate with the I-F. The article requiring main¬tenance of houses on campus as a stipulation forI-F membership was directed from its inceptionat colored organizations, according to fraternityspokesmen, and its withdrawal comes as a longoverdue measure.While streamlining of their own procedureis of unquestioned value, fraternities have yetto come to grips with the major objection stillconfronting them. Fraternities here and else¬where have been too willing in the past to sub¬ordinate the general welfare of the Universityto their own petty group interests and prosper¬ity. Only through recognition of a greater goodand purpose can fraternities attain the positionwhich might be theirs.Such a status can never be written into anyconstitution. Its enactment will come onlythrough the direct and spontaneous action ofeach individual fraternity member himself.CHICAGO MAROON Here and ThereOfficial stadent publication of the Uni-▼•raity Chicago publiihad every Friday dur¬ing the academic quarters.

President Robert Hutchins, hasstirred the coals again—but this time in international affairs.Hutchins* V'E day address, at Rockefeller Chapel, yesterday rated 14inches of type, his picture, and a cartoon by Don Fitzpatrick of the St, LouisPost-Dispatch, in Time Magazine. Said a Time pundit in the **Opinion**department of the **U.

It was the first round in an argument of which the world would hearmore.**Added Time: **Chicago*s Hutchins thus revived the theory held before1939 that a harsh peace breeds another war. .If he thought no men werebeasts there were plenty of others who thought otherwise.** '\Willard Shelton of The Chicago Sun also used the speech as a spring¬board for »i5 inches of column material. Charged Shelton: “He is an intel-lec aristocrat . . . speech suggested doubt, timidity, and lack of faith . . .devastating pessimism , . . aloof impassion.**Of nearly a dozen letters to the editor received by THE MAROON cnthe speech here are three:To the Editor,President Hutchins, speaking about the future world organ¬ization, recently said, “If the organization is likely to promotewar, he (an educated person) will rightly decide that it is worth¬less, and that he will stay out of it if he can”. However, I thinkeducated people must assume a much more positive role. Afterall, an effective world organization is our only chance of peace.Are we, as educated people, merely to cling to this organizationwhile the sailing is smooth? At a crisis are we to scurry awaylike rats from a sinking ship? No, this sort of policy would neverstop World War HI. Our part canH be a negative one; educatedpeople are best equipped to lead in the establishment of a freeand peaceful world.A strong and just world organization is vital for an enduring peace. Andto be strong and just, it must be backed by the people through thick andthin. The League of Nations wasn't supported; it was weak, and it failed.A sailor wouldn’t desert his ship if it were blown off its course. Instead hewould work to sail it back on the right course. Can educated people thenarbitrarily abandon the world organization when the going gets tough? Orshould they redouble their efforts to make the organization fulfill its purposein spite of any crisis ? Either they will passively consent to World War HI,or they will work and fight to prevent this disaster with the only possiblemeans. For a world organization is the only conceivable hope for permanentpeace and freedom. Accordingly, educated people must be the last to dis¬card it, particularly as its success is their one chance.—Margaret Cooper.This Game Didn’t End With HandshakeTo the Editor:It was with surprise, disappointment, and more than a little resentmentthat I read President Hutchins' V-E day address. Perhaps to some hissweetness and light view of defeated Germany passes for great and enlight¬ened hnmanitarianism. To many others it is a sign of confusion and a kindof naivete that was never mcu’e dangerous than today when it expressesitself in the desire to avoid one extreme by seeking the other, to avoidbrutality by foolish magnanimity.Mr. Hutchins asks us to keep our heads, as educated people, above theSee LETTERS, P. %, CoL 4Friday.

SwitchboardBy ROSE ENCHEROne of the little known but much used—and abused—serviceson campus is the University's unique telephone system.Probably the largest university tel¬ephone system in existence, its freetelephone hookup covers the entirecampus, the downtown UniversityCollege, and Billings and Chicago Ly¬ing-In Hospitals. All can be reachedby calling Midway 0800. Burton-Jud-son answers to Midway 6000 and In¬ternational House to Fairfax 8200.Twenty-four hours a day, an aver¬age of 20,000 calls are put through acentral switchboard, located in thePress Building, to outside lines, to1,335 campus telephones and to 17small switchboards.A serious shortage of operators atthe central switchboard is a currentwartime problem. The eight operatorsnow on duty do the work of twelveand are busier than operators at theBell Telephone Co.Mrs. Marie McGee, supervisor, saidDocumentaryTo Show OwnFilm TonightA movie filmed during the pres-enUtion of OOP’s “The InspectorGenerar last January will be pre¬sented here this evening at 8:30 bythe Documentary Film group in theIda Noyes theatre.These preserved highlights of theback stage preparations and actualperformance of Gogol’s caustic sallyare the fruits of the group’s firstventure into the realms of produuc-tion.

A typical peakhour brings in about 2500 calls.Rainy days bring in calls far abovethe average 20,000 per day. Bigevents such as V-E day. PresidentRoosevelt’s death, etc. bring in somany calls that no record can be kept.Other ways in which students canhelp keep the telephone system effi¬cient in war time are to speak up assoon as the operator answers and tocall by extension number.If you can’t find the number youwant in the faculty or student direc¬tory, it is suggested that you call Mr.H. Hoeppner at the Information Of¬fice, Ext. 373. Hoeppner maintains anup-to-date record of student and fac¬ulty names and telephone exchanges.The University of Chicago has alarge detailed listing of local tele¬phones in the Chicago Telephone Di¬rectory and a detailed listing of de¬partments in the hospitals in the RedBook.Fortunately there is no shortage atthe present time of operators in thetelepage system at Billings Hospital.The telepage system acts as interme¬diary between the central switch¬board and the personnel of the hospi¬tals when the operators at the cen¬tral switchboard cannot locate thedoctors at their clinics or offices. Doc¬tors sign in and out with telepage op¬erators so that their whereabouts areknown at all times.The telepage is a major improve¬ment over the code and light signal¬ling system used in many hospitalsand still in use at Chicago Lying-InHospital.

GOLDENIn previous issues Messrs. Schwaband Olson have given their approach¬es to the problem of what it is inmusic that pleases, and thus onwhat basis a piece of music can bedeclared good or bad. For the viewsof a psychologist, I interviewed Dan¬iel A. Prescott, Professor of Educa¬tion, of the Department of Educa¬tion. Mr. Prescott is an enthusiasticmusic lover and an amateur pianistof note.As Mr. Prescott sees it, “thereare two prominent functions musicplays in our lives.One—^the controlThird In of mood, reliefA Series from tension; two—*the crystalliza¬tion of attitudes’.” Mr. Prescott ex¬plained his meaning of this lastphrase, “A person may feel uncertainor unsure of something and turn tomusic as the expression of the ex¬periences of others. As he lends him¬self to the moods of the music, hefinds his own moods clarified andordered.”Music has both an intellectual andemotional basis, but if good, that willbe due to the emotional part. Theemotion in music is fundamentallythe expression of the composer’s ex¬periences, and in particular the in¬fluences upon him of his particularculture grroup. In fact music may beseen, according to Prescott, to be thepermanent expression of attitude andfeelings of the period of its composi¬tion. Viewed in this light, music be¬comes what Prescott calls “an ad¬junct to the Social Sciences”; for itis able to show feelings and attitudes,where the social sciences can onlydescribe events. Thus modern music,with its dissonances, irregular tem¬pos and rhythms is the outgrowthof the uncertainties and frustrations,which characterize modem life. Eventhe conventional music forms of aSee MUSIC, P. 6, Col. 3Unique Twisthi War YamThe Prisoner by Earnest Lotharis a dramatic, suspenseful book witha new twist.The story concerns a youn^ Ger¬man boy in a prisoner of war campin Colorado and tells in flash-backhis experiences in Germany as a Na¬zi. A Hitler Youth, fanatically de¬voted to the Fuehrer and to Nazi-ism, he comes to realize the instabili¬ty and irresponsibility of his govern¬ment when he tries to appeal theverdict rendered against him in afalse accusation of theft.He is captured on a Normandybeach on D-Day, but finds a prisoncamp no protection from the Gestapo.A very exciting book, and one wefound hard to lay down until it wasfinished. The writing is a little awk¬ward in spots, but that may have oc¬curred in the translation.Dr. Lothar is himself a refugeefrom the Nazis, having fled to thiscountry in 1938 when Austria fell tothe Germans. Previous to that timehe had been a prominent writer inVienna and was recognized as a foeof Nazism.—Mary Aap Atwoed For the reason why the United Statesentered the Whirled War, we mustrefer you to a Democratic historian.No Republican has ever figured itout. Our closest approximation isthat the ^war was caused and wagedby two eminent Democrats, Pres-dent Wilson and his confidential ad¬visor, Colonel E. M. House. Thestudent should realize that there isno connection between Col. House andthe occasional counselors of earlierpresidents. Upper House and LowerHouse, and that he was entirely un¬related to the constant companion ofPresident Harding, Full House. UponWilson’s leaving the White House,the colonel was deposed, and there¬after known as Out House.The fighting of the war was madeextremely difficult by the stiff re¬sistance put up by the enemy, com¬manded by the famous German gener¬al, Achmein Himmel. The Whiried War was eventually won by some¬one, just by whom seems to be some¬what in doubt. The peace treaty wasformulated by the Belgians, whomaintained that they had been thevictims of several atrocities duringthe war. To reciprocate they inflictedthe Treaty of Versailles, generallyconsidered the greatest atrocity ofall time.This treaty refused to lie down andbe repulsive in the pages of Demo¬cratic histories, but lived on, faintlylike Dracula, in the form of theLeagn^e of Nations. The United Stateswas saved from the catastrophe ofjoining the League only by the intersvention of a powerful secret organiza¬tion of Republicans known as theHenry Cabot Lodge.*Bttrop« WM goias round in elrelan nt Umtime.

We are to see that Germany is taken backinto the family of nations and re-educated. We are to remember the dis¬tinction between humanity and brute. But Mr. Hutchins as an educator isover-estimating the efficiency of his profession and is assuming that Ge^many in its present state of humanity bears any relationship to humanity.Germany has produced some of the world's greatest scholars. Germanystill has great scientists. Yet Germany as one of the world’s intellectualleaders removed itself from the realms of human law. (The Germans ob¬viously consider themselves a different species from the Poles, French, Bel¬gians, Czechs, Russians, Dutch, Norweigans, English—and Americans whomthey tortured, starved, and murdered. Anyone who assumes that becausea creature can speak, read, and write he is capable of being guided byreasoning, is ignoring the moral depths to which the Germans have sunkand is ivory-towering it with a vengeance.Mr. Hutchins says that illegal action cannot be punished illegally. Sincewhen is the punishment of a crime illegal?Mr. Hutchins deplores putting the Germans on a dole amounting to athird of American army rations. I ask him to remember that Europe’speasants have for centuries lived on much less.Mr. Hutchins is sure that in a few years the excitement over warcriminals will seem “rediculous.” I am sure it will not. Those of us whosefriends and relatives have come out of German prison camps walking skeletonswill not thing it rediculous. Those who saw Buchenwald and Dachau willnot think them rediculous. Neither will the slave laborers, the inhabitantsof gutted cities, the victims of the worid’s greatest crime orgies think themrediculous.Yes, Mr. Hutchins, we must remember the responsibility falling to usas educated people. As such we demand the kind of justice we have beentaught to believe in—the justice that lets the innocent go free but lays aheavy hand on the guilty.Brutal revenge is inconsistent with an intelligent peace;- but so itjeopardizing our future by misguided generosity. American sportsmanshipis fine—in its place; but deference to a treacherous enemy is not sportsman¬ship but assininity.In the words of General Eisenhower, **This has not been a game thatends with a handshake.”—G.G.‘Human Decency Demands Justice’To the Editor:President Hutchins in his speech at the campus V-E day ceremoniesmade some startling observations which are open to question.1. He implies that the reports of Nazi crimes are “propaganda.” Hecompares the sober concern of the American people in Nazi mass homicidewith 1918 hysteria and describes this concern in effect as “ridiculous.” Theevidence and testimony of our congressmen, editors, and generals indicatesthat any atrocity stories we are receiving are underwritten and not exag¬gerated. Moreover the testimony does not begin with the war in 1939 butthe “peace” in 1933. Surely Mr. Hutchins has availed himself of the personalinformation he can get on horror camps from members of his own faculty.We agree with him that vengeance is for the Lord, but human decency andthe debt to the millions slain demand justice.2. Mr. Hutchins does not believe a whole nation can be indicted. Butshall we let the guilty go free? Can we say that war is a brutalizing ex¬perience and that therefore the Fascists are not personally guilty? Ouranswer is that a personal choice is involved in every crime committed,whether by an American or German. We too are fighting, but we have notseen fit to enslave people, to torture prisoners, or to kill for pleasure. Thesedeeds are still crimes for our American soldiers.3. By implication Mr. Hutchins attacks the San Francisco Conferenceand the Yalta agreements. Peace can only be assured by democratic nationsthat are prepared to work harmoniously to to recognize and stop aggression.Unless the four great nations, America, Great Britain, Russia, and Chinahave unity with respect to world problems there can be no peace. This isthe realistic approach that President Roosevelt established at Yalta andDumbarton Oaks, and which the people of the world support. Any otherapproach is a snare and delusion.4. The precondition of future progress is the destruction of Fascism.Not one word of this was in President Hutchins’ address. By destroyingFascism we reestablish the dignity of man; by destroying Fascism we havetaken the first step on the road to lasting peace. This is the significance ofV-E day.(Signed) Jessie Polacheck, Sue Saxl, Sylvia Mayer, Virginia Aplon,Donald Erich, I. A.

Emergen¬cy calls are distinguished from urgentcalls by calling the doctor’s name fourtimes in rapid succession. No otherpaging is done until the emergencycall is answered by-the doctor fromany one of the extensive telepagephones throughout the hospital.Telepage operators are surroundedwith schedules of the doctors’ pro¬grams but take such an interest intheir work that they have almost allof them memorized. They handlefrom 600 to 700 telepage contacts aday and also transmit 100 to 200 callsto and from patients. The operatorskeep records as to which patients areallowed to make and receive calls andwhich ones are too ill for calls.It is their responsibility, also, tolocate the person in charge of the oxy¬gen tanks at a moment’s notice. Stu¬dent Health night time calls are alsotransmitted through telepage. Theoperators are Peggy Ward, supervis¬or, Dorothy Moynihan, Kay Cleary,Ann Calahan, Elaine Posner (College-4), and Isabelle Southward, night op¬erator.The extensive telephone system asit is today grew from humble begin¬nings in Cobb Hall in 1902, moved tothe Press Building in 1907, and ap¬proximated the large size it is todayin 1919 when the University tripledin cubage.

But “I regard it of the high¬est significance that Szostakovitchand Stravinsky weren’t contem¬poraries (in their music style) withMozart. And in like manner, we canbe quite sure that if Mozart werealive today, he would not write thesame music he did.”Consistent with his general posi¬tion, he regards the best composersas those who incorporate “their to¬tal life experience in their music,while giving a feeling of the times.”Why people are affected differentlyby music is a question which Mr.Prescott is very interested in. Inthe course of his classes on “Emo¬tion and the Educative Process”, hehas been accustomed to play musicto his students, and over severalyears he has been able to make somegeneralization. “I have observed that,for example, three to four timesas many persons between the agesof 18 to 30 react favorably to mo¬dem music than do those over 40. Ithink one primary explanation isto-be.found in the different culturalbackground the two groups were brought up in. If I had time, I shouldlike to carry on more scientific stu¬dies of this kind on people of differ¬ent background, first obtaining ex¬tensive biographical data on the par¬ticipants and weighing the differencesin previous musical training. In thisway, I would hope to make a closercorrelation between the backgroundsand varied musical tastes of differentpersons.”SETTLEMENT SPEAKERSam Campbell, author, lecturer andphotographer, will present an illus¬trated lecture, “Out Where the WestBegins: The Black Hills and BadLands of South Dakota,” before theUniversity of Chicago SettlementLeague at their meeting Tuesday.
