At last they explainedthat they’d just read an articlecomparing Hutchins with this pic¬ture and were inordinately curiousto see what Hutchins might looklike.

Paul J. .Tillich, internationallyeminent religious philosopher,Tuesday evening in Leon MandelHall.Tillich, Professor of Philosophi¬cal Theology at the Union Theo¬logical Seminary, was attemptingto show the “advanced stag^ ofdegradation” which our secularculture contains in the existing“gap” between it and religion.He explained his ideal of a“theonomous culture” in which“religion is the substance of cul¬ture. and culture, the form of re¬ligion.” After the first World War,Tillich said, there was a mood of“beginning” throughout the world;now there is a mood of “the end.**By means of this new element inour culture, this “vacuole of dis¬integration,” a “new creation canbe made.” This is the “only wayin which our time can reach atheonomous culture.”Education a MysteryEducation, Tillich contended, has“the character of a mystery” andhe cited Plato’s definition of wis¬dom as a “liberation from dark¬ness.” An education which is con¬tent merely with observable truthsneeds “initiation.” It has lost itsaim.Our secular culture today, con¬cluded Tillich, Is “groping.” Itssalvation lies in not only acceptingthe existence of a “void,” but evenmore, a “sacred void.”In an interview with the MA¬ROON after his lecture, Tillichsaid that he felt what was neces¬sary in our modern schools wasnot so much formal courses in re¬ligion, but rather an inclusion inevery branch of education of anawareness of the human limits be¬yond which even the most “scien¬tific” studies, such as physics andchemistry, cannot reach. In hisopinion, because of the state ofworld affairs, more and morepeople are becoming cognizant ofthe.se boundaries upon our secularculture.Annually the entering freshmenare thrown into Botany Pond byupper-classmen.

The full storyof its first report is published in this editionon Page 1. It is MUST reading.The repercussions which the report on Bill¬ings Hospital will produce will be widely feltand far reaching. It is to be hoped that theresult will not only be campus-wide indigna¬tion, but organized pressure as well, capableof wiping out the trouble spot.The report itself is a model for future in¬vestigations. It contains no unfounded charges;it has been carefully and precisely formulated.It contains statements from the officialsdirectly involved who, in this case, were un¬usually candid and honest. Similar reportsshould be prepared on University discrimina¬tion, if practiced as is alleged, on admissionsin the professional schools as well as in theUniversity at large. The medical school maynot maintain a monopoly on all the bigotry inthe University.♦ ♦ ♦Easily the most perplexing problem whichthe committee will face in its investigationswill.be the University policy on restrictivecovenants, agreements which limit residentialareas to whites. The University has main¬tained that to lower the bars would pave the way for an early decline and perhaps eventhe ultimate collapse of the institution itself.The logic is simple: It is generally acknow-or serious reduction in the activities of theuniversity would inevitably fmlow.The University is faced with a moraldilemma; it confronts two sharply contradic¬tory principles. As a fountainhead of the truthit must confess that restrictive covenants areimmoral and unjust, but as a practical institu¬tion, faced with the stern realism of its veryexistence, it cannot permit the covenants tobe abolished.And this is our fundamental position,namely that restrictive covenants are a symp¬tom rather than a cause of racial intolerance.We will not solve the problem by the eradica¬tion of such agreements, desirable though sucheradication may be. They are an evil. Butthe source, the very root of the problem liesdeep in the heart of society, in ignorance, infear, in hate. We are not Utopians, but untilsuch time as man is sufficiently educatedand enlightened to realize that his neighbor’scolor or his beliefs is not valid on moralgrounds for distinctions, the problem of in¬tolerance will not be resolved.In the meantime there are numerous sore-spots in our own backyards against which theAnti-Discrimination committee may direct itsmost tellings barbs and volleys.Good hunting, ADC! ■Letters to Editor^Phrasing a DilemmaThe announcement that the Uni¬versity enrollment has crossed the6,000 mark and is still spirallingskyward puts the University insomewhat the same position asthe fat man trying to squeeze abass drum into a telephone booth. and intensity of appeal.This is the dilemma: Shouldthe University announce an “opendoor” policy and tax its facilitiesunder the existing emergency toa greater extent than now thoughteven possible, permitting educa- Guest EditorialShould thesUniversity Critic Answers ProfessorColumnist DenouncedTo the Editor of THE CHICAGO MAROON.Professor Schlesinger, in his defense of the Ph.D. program in theCollege, ignores the central principle of general education—that thereare certain intellectual techniques and certain facts which must bemastered by every student—in favor of two principles ^which havenothing to do'With general education, but which can only be inter¬preted as a defense of specialiration.Principles MisplacedThe first of these misplaced principles is that the student musthave a certain degree of freedom in choosing his courses, so that hemay develop his natural talents to the fullest and develop a sense ofresponsibility. I challenge whether making choices without an ade¬quate knowledge of the alternatives is of much value, either in makinga wise choice or in exercising responsibility. And as for “developingnatural talents to the fullest,” that is the proper task of specialization,not of generalization. To allow a student to ignore any of the essentialintellectual techniques, so that he might follow his bent in any par¬ticular direction, would be as absurd as to allow an elementary schoolstudent to ignore learning how to read because he preferred to drawor paint.As for the second principle, the unity of the University, the Collegeshould be related to the Divisions only as generalization is relatedto specialization. No one can deny that the Divisions make a contribu¬tion to the College; they are the source of the material taught. Butto argue that the divisional contribution should also include electivesequences is to falsify the relationship between generalization andspecialization.Purpose of General EducationIn his anxiety to justify specialization within the College, Dr.Schlesinger, it appears, has neglected to acquaint himself with thereal meaning of general education. It is not specialization, and itdoes not include specialization Its nature is such that it includes allthe courses, and only the courses, which are essential to men as men,and not as chemists, lawyers, or mechanics. If general educationincludes a certain course for one student, it must include the coursefor all students. And whatever general education degree is offeredmust mean the same for every student.If Dr. Schlesinger fears that the present A.B. program in the Col¬lege delays specialization too long, he should ask for a revision in theprogram or a reduction in the time allotted it. But to ask for thecontinuation of a two-degree system is to ask for the maintenanceof a contradiction of the very principle upon which the College rests.ALAN J. STRAUSS'' Candidate for B.S.- Department of Chemistry* • •To the Editor of THE CHICAGO MAROON:We are confronted with an ex¬tremely provocative question. TheUniversity has been caught shortin virtually everything: housing,classrooms, instructors, recreationfacilities. But demands for admis¬sion are increasing both in volume tidn for the greatest number? Or,faced as we are with the realiza¬tion that a good program requiresadequate distribution of facilities,should we restrict enrollment inthe hope of doing a better job fora select few? Teach Sex?The Daily Bruin, student news¬paper at'tljjs University of Cali¬fornia at Los Angeles urged edi¬torially this week that classes insex education be established atUCLA.Excerpts from the editorial fol¬low:“We have often wondered whythe University does not offercourses in sex hygiene and edu¬cation, preparation for marriage,and preparation for parenthood.“Life insurance statistics revealthat the reproductive rate inAmerican families tends to de¬crease with'the advancement of theeducational attainments of eitherhusl^nd or wife. Instead of babiesour educated class is choosing newautomobiles, new fur coats, newhouses, or a vacation trip to aswank resort. In other words theAmerican educated class, biologi¬cally is losing out.“Certainly the average collegestudent is old enough, matureenough, and intelligent enough tostudy the problem of marriage andparenthood seriously and with aneye to his own well-being. Collegestudents, per se, are among theprivileged classes and as the pres¬ent trend‘indicates should be prac¬tically childless by middle age.This is wrong, obviously.^Tlndoubtedly the Universitycould do much good for its stu¬dents by giving such courses, yetIt does not. We would like toknow why. If it is because our ob¬solete and irrational mores con¬cerning the tender youth of ourcollege-level students, or if it isbecause of equally stupid moresabout the advisability of mention¬ing s-x above a whisper—thenall we can do is hold our head inanguish.“The University should realizethat ignoring the problem is an¬other way of shirking its obliga¬tions as, an educational Institutionto the community it serves.”Uniyersity Sore SpotUniversity officials admit in private that'* they are baffledby the “commuter problem.” The extreme dispersion of thecampus is one of the most persistently challenging problemsto confront the administration and students alike.It should be evident by now that the problem will not besolved by any abortive attempt to attach commuters to a flimsyresidence house program. It should be equally clear that oneof the vital measures needed in the solution is a central campusmeeting place, both for recreation and study, adequately equip¬ped and staffed. Worthy of high priority on University post¬war building should be a student union, replete with lounges,meeting and recreation rooms, an auditorium, a dance floor,and a soft-drink bar.A union is not a cure all; it is not adequate in itself. It ishowever necessary in easing a lingering ailment.Slljp (!Il|U£ujn HarnnnFounded Oct. 1, 1892The University of Chicago Official Student Newspaper1945 ACP AlUAmericanPublished every Friday during the academic year by THE CHICAGOMAROON, an independent student organization of the University of Chicago.Abe Krash, Editor-in-ChiefWard J.

We refer tothe January 25 copy of the Maroon.Because Mr. Sander has chosen to hold himself up as a “guidinglight” for campus veterans, we, two of the “spoken for,” feel it nec¬essary to answer. As veterans we too find ourselves “in a healthystate of emotion concerning our place in the world.” But perhapsa more controllable state than that which drove Mr. Sander to decryall ethical and moral criteria of group action.After stating, quite unquestionably, that “in social events there areno facts, in social events there is no Truth,” the sage speaketh on:“Judgments about strikes . . . must not be made on the basis of(their) honesty, (their) virtue, (their) goodness, (their) justice, buton the basis of a purely personal question: What do I want to happen,and then. Is this toward what I want?”The wind blows even stronger as we proceed to a dictum, evenless tenable but nonetheless judiciously proclaimed. Covering in onefell-swoop a broad portion of the history of religions, political science,governments, indeed “all social movements* in general, the Voicesays- “The history of religions, of governments, of nations, and of allsocial movements has shown that society goes where men desire it togo.” How very significant!“Meaningless Rhetoric”The storm of meaningless rhetoric reaches its climax in the nextunintelligent outburst.

Opening with Pur¬cell’s Golden Sonata, the perform¬ers coursed fluidly and smoothlythru Handel’s Sonata No. 3 In GMinor, Rameau’s Pieces de clave¬cin en concerts No. 4, and Bach’sConcerto in C Minor for twoviolins.Miss Lane’s accurate, precisetouch was a sharp contrast to thesloppy Pessl performance of lastmonth.

Moll andMorovitsky each have the clean,patrician tone and the. lightnessof tone so essential to music suchas this.The Bach concerto, which alsoserved the master as his ConcertoNo. 3 for two harpsichords andstrings, is not as brilliant a work,nor as melodically interesting, asthe much better known Concertoin I) Minor for the same combina¬tion. It has passages which soundlabored and mechanical. Never¬theless, it possesses moments ofcontrapuntal ingenuity whichmark it as Bach’s work and noone else’s.

Harper Library is the focal pointof the University Libraries, since there. Under a decentralized sys¬tem, however, the University Li¬brary proper is split up into ap¬proximately 25 departmental col¬lections, housed in different Uni¬versity buildings.On the third floor of Harper maybe found the general card cata¬logue for the entire UniversityLibrary and the main circulationLetters to Editor(Continued from Page 4)moral considerations must no longer determine our group action butmust be re-evaluated in terms of that action.”Apparently, then, the study of urban growth is a detriment to asound housing program: apparently the investigation of how ournational income is distributed has no value in creating taxation policiesto remove inequities. To us, reason, investigation, and the logic of anopen mind seem important in framing social policy. They are so be¬cause, as tools, they make a difference in choosing between the rightand the wrong alternatives.When we have abandoned these tools in forming policy, we haveleft only our prejudices: we are left to be guided only by “What Iwant . . , What I want to happen.” Such a .state of mind leads to onlygreater social conflicts. This type of political emptyheadedness is theexact opposite of the enlightened attitude towards society that Educa¬tion, in this University, attempts to impart. If ever there has been anera when deliberation was essential to correct action, most certainlythis is it.Facts Do ExistInstead of demagogue-like exhortations to “action” based on any¬thing but ethics and morals: instead of poly-syllabic words, unitedto form sentences which, through a combination of great effort and ’service to the students:accident, possess a subject, a verb, and an object; instead of inco¬herent sophomoric pleas for a direction in the vetej^ns’ political activi¬ties—any direction just so long as you’re moving—jn.''-pead of all thisthe veteran needs leadershio and expf^e.'shn of a sreVJ pyev^rem ba«edon the FACTS, which contrary to Vlf Sa'^der, DO eM A ar d fx) lh?rbased, not on personal “feelings,” knut on thie krproyeinent of thegeneral welfare.Thought and ActionTrue, thought without action is barren BUT acti~n withoutthought is blind, to say the least We cannot and do not quarry vjiihMr. Sander’s motwes, nor his support of Minimum Wage, FEPC, orthe position of Labor in th“ current strikes.

Butperhaps students might be moretolerant of the delay if they couldonce follow their call slips downinto the stacks. Unless you’re agraduate student working on yourdissertion, you’ve probably heardonly vague mention of “TheStacks,” which contain most of thevolumes in Harper Library. Rowupon row of shelves of booksstretch from the east end of Har¬per Library to Ellis avenue, on thefirst and second floors below theground. Here may be found any¬thing from “Godey’s Lady’s Book”to the reports of the ContinentalCongresses. Here are the govern¬ment documents, the social sciencevolumes, old periodicals and news¬papers. And this is where the slipyou present at the main desk isreceived. Volumes are arrangedhere under the same system as thatused in the Library of Congress.But no matter how systematic thearrangement, it takes time to walkthe length of the stacks to find aparticular book. The librarianscan only ask you to be patient.Just east of the circulation deskis Harper Reading Room. Gothicin style, like the rest of the build¬ing, the large, high-ceilinged roomwas designed to seat about 300 stu¬dents. Last spring, however, whenLife magazine was photographingthe University, students had to berequested to study at Harper—atleast while the picture was beingtaken. Reasons for this includethe vastness of the room and thepoor lighting, neither, conduciveto study. Although nothing can bedone about the size, library offi¬cials are hoping to install desklamps as soon as these are avail¬able.College Library InformalMuch more popular is the Col¬lege Library on the first floor,which was designed as a browsingroom, to encourage extra-curricu¬lar reading. With that end in view,there is a constant shifting ofbooks in the collection, to keep itup-to-date. Smoke-filled, infor¬mal, noisy, the College Librarymay not be the best place forstudy, but it remains an excellentmeeting-place for friends. C. J. ROOTHAANconnected with an undergroundgroup whose activities consistedprimarily in shooting Nazi andNazi collaborators.During the German occupationmany physical science instrumentswere stolen from Holland schools,according to Roothaan, and at thepresent time the universities in theNetherlands are not back to formerstandards.A fellowship from the Nether¬lands American Foundation en¬abled Roothaan to come to theUnited States to study. Nine otJierstudents were also selected by theMinistry of Education of Holland.Another student from westernEurope, newly arrived at the Uni¬versity of Chicago since the end ofthe war, is Hermann Bloom fromSwitzerland. Both students areresidents of International House.Foreign Students Number 155With the arrival of these two thetotal number of foreign studentsat International House is now 155,hailing from 34 countries. China isrepresented by the largest numberof students, having sent 30, nextcomes Canada, and then India.Since December, eight new stu¬dents. have been sent here by theIndian government, and two othershave arrived from Norway. How¬ever, all the students at Interna¬tional House are not attending theUniversity of Chicago, and ol thosefrom India nine are students atIllinois Tech. The policy of Inter¬national House is to serve allschools in this area.Yincent SetsBurton PaceThe Vincent entry might wellclaim the title of “most active en¬try in Burton-Judson” for thisquarter. Under the guidance ofPresident Lloyd Fosdick, here iswhat has taken place so far: onthe 18th of January, all the mem¬bers attended “The Hasty Heart”;on the 23rd there was an exchangedinner with Beecher Hall, fol¬lowed by dancing at Beecher; onthe 24th there was a house birth¬day party in honor of the fourmen who had birthdays in Janu¬ary.To climax January’s events.Professor Joseph J. Schwab spoketo 25 Vincent men in Burton Li¬brary on the 28th. The subject ofthe discussion was never quitemade clear, but Schwab was en¬joyed by all. The list of eventsdon’t end, for there is a Vincentdance in Judson Lounge the 8thof February, and another theatreparty scheduled for the 15th—this time to see “Dark of theMoon.”Though Fosdick is the spark¬plug behind these activities, hisfive-man committee is also active.oFriday, February 1,VETERANSSomeone asked me yesterdayWhat is theUniversity doing about veterans housing?Everyone in official position to Do Some¬thing is “cognizant of the situation, * and ‘ youmay be sure,” etc., etc. Meanwhile, veteransdon’t have places to live.Vice-President Wilbur Munnecke has often dis¬cussed the state of veterans’ housing with reportersand small veterans’ groups. He has explained eachtime “ off the record,’’ all the plans the Universityhas for renovating large buildings nearby andin^ them into apartments and single rooms. Theplans sounded good—three months ago.A large state university nearby has recognized theimportance of giving veterans every possible oppor¬tunity to return to school, and is doing somethingabout it! More than two months ago, they had* setup near the campus a traiier village of 200 familyunits for veterans. Last month, that Universitycommandeered a nearby airfield and is now readyto house 500 singie veterans and nearly 100 marriedvets. Faculty members conduct classes on the air¬field. Recreational activities on the spot make thisa “veterans* university.” Vets at this school get a15-credit bonus toward graduation, and are givenspecial consideration in many other ways.That University has 1,200 veterans—legs than wehave—in a student body of more than 12,500—twice what we have. About one-fifth of our en¬rollment consists of former G.I.’s; about one-tenthof theirs is veteran. There is no reason to believethat they would not provide twice as many facili¬ties hv* returning servicemen if their proportiongrew until it reached our size.To Return to Chicago §Here at Chicago, we have bold ideas proposed butalmost no action toward decent housing of veterans.The first of the pre-fabs will be up by thesi^'ing quarter. A building which I presume muststill not be mentioned by name will, if plans areconsummated, house an additional 175 vets’ familiesby spring quarter.Here are a few suggested answers to the questionWhat Can Be Done?Burton-Judson Court houses 325 students in acloistered single-room abundance. While doubling-up the rooms might destroy the intellectual poiseand detachment which the present incumbents cher¬ish in the Liberal Arts tradition, it WOULD houseanother 325 men. The discomfort might, it is4(ihought, be bearable. 1a*01E\c KcnsBcncA building program should be initiated. Newdormitories, the acquisition of adjacent land siteslike the one for sale at 57th and Kenwood wherethe Hyde Park High branch once stood, and ex¬pansion of the old dorms by additions of rooms andadjacent halls, are in order. While several dormitor¬ies have been talked of as being “in the offing” noplan has been publicized or even mentioned outsideof closed school office doors.Barracks could well be constructed in StaggField. Veterans don’t mind barracks as a temporarymeasure—they’re better than nothing, so long asthere are decent washing accommodations, alreadyavailable in the adjoining gym and under the stands.Lat Veterans In!Several thousand G.I.’s are beating on the gatesof our University. They cannot get in until there ishousing for them. Moreover, the present housingof the 1,300 veterans already here is not, in a largenumber of cases, adequate. A chart indicating thelocation of veteran lodgings among those enrolledat the University of Chicago would show studentswho must spend much of their day traveling backand forth from'Evanston, the West Side, the NorthSide, and in perhaps 300 cases, from areas southof 73rd Street.Veterans at the University of Chicago aren’t un¬grateful. They—if I may speak for them—arc sickand tired of griping. But effort must produce great¬er results before housing for veterans at this schoolcan be called an accomplished fact.List Notices fromVet Adviser OfficeAll veterans who paid cashfor textbooks delivered onForm .3 by special arrangementssee Miss Meyer in the office ofthe Main Bookstore before Feb¬ruary 8.

One thingled to another (as it frequentlytloest and it wasn’t long beforewe were reminiscing about Chi¬cago's athletic history.Naturally the conversation gotaround to football and the eventu¬al dropping of the grid sport In1939. Young as we wore at thattime, we still recall reading of thedisastrous season Coach ClarkShaughnessy and his boys hadthat year. Harvard and Ohio Stateboth pounded the Maroons byscores of 61-0. Michigan added thefinal touch by routing them, 85-0.As we said, that much we re¬membered. There was, however,one aspect to the football situa¬tion on the Midway of which wewere not aware. Our visitor, abet¬ted by the files of THE MAROON,put us in the know, and we’d liketo pass the information along toyou.Harvard and Ohio and Michi¬gan were not the only teams tobeat Chicago’s varsity that year.There was another squad whichaccompli.shed the same feat; thatwas the Chicago freshman team.Eighty-five candidates turnedout for frosh football that yearand the team was just as long onquality. Jay Berwanger, thencaching the first-year men, pre¬dicted that any of the four fresh¬men squads could lick the varsity.Was the varsity that bad orwere the frosh that good? Thequestion was irrelevant. The factremained that In two or threeyears Chicago could have had ateam that cbuld play in the sameleague with the rest of the BigTen.Why then was football dropped?One story with a good deal ofcredibility has it that ChancellorHutchins was dissatisfied with theway in which this astoundingfreshman squad had been assem¬bled.It was generally understood thatthe University’s alumni had goneout and hired high school stars tocome to Chicago. Recognizing theneed of doing something and fear¬ing that this practice would con¬tinue, Hutchins was moved toabolish football from the Midw^aycampus. JOHNNY SHARPOne local boy who made good isJohnny Sharp who graduated tothe varsity cage team from Uni¬versity High.Happy DayThe University of Chica¬go’s hapless basketball teamwoke up one morning thisweek to find out it wasn’tquite so hapless.Chicago’s metropolitannewspapers notwithstanding,the Maroons have not lost57 consecutive conferenceball games. It’s only 54. Thisfact was brought out by thediligent research of a Ma¬roon reporter and corrobor¬ated by the Western Con¬ference Service Bureaudowntown. Dodd, Solisbury Set SightsOn Basketball ChampionshipCinder SquadsAwait InvadersUniversity High’s track team setan -example last Friday afternoonwhich the varsity squad failed tofollow the next day. The well-balanced jay-vee outfit out-ran theHyde Parkers, 63-22, while thebest the older boys could do was tohold Wayne University to a 48 5^ 6-46 Vi victory.Both teams see action again thisweek with U. High playing hostto powerful Schurz this afternoonin the Field House, and the Varsityentertaining Northwestern tomor¬row at 2:30 p.m. in the same place.Schurz, last year’s city champ,was the only school to beat thejay-vees last year, and today’smeet promises to be somewhat of agrudge match. Northwestern bringsto the Midway campus a teamstrengthened by the presence ofseveral naval trainees.Last Friday in the Hyde Parkmeet, the visitors’ Jim Fuchs put ona track and field exhibition whichwill probably go unmatched in theChicago Field House for a goodmany years to come. He hurledthe 12-ib. shot 50-ft. 4-in. andran the 60-yd. dash in the amazingtime of :06.4. He also won thehigh-jump.Prize Contest OpensFor Student WritersA $1,500 prize contest, whichcloses May 1, offering $500 eachfor the best short story and arti¬cle and $250 for second place ineach category has been announcedby TOMORROW Magazine, Col¬lege Contest, HE. 44th st.. NewYork 17, N.Y. By NORMAN MACHTThe Dodd House cage quintetcontinued on its winning ways inthe Intramural League Tuesdaynight as they pinned a 25-8 losson Coulter in the most one-sidedgame of the season. The secondpart of the twin-bill was won byMathews over Linn, 29-15. Cham¬berlain and Vincent tangled afterMeade and Salisbury met lateThursday night.The collapse of the powerfulCoulter aggregation was furtherheightened by Dodd’s most im¬pressive performance as it lookits third game without a loss. The25-point total was evenly distrib¬uted among the victors; Russ Mor¬rison led with 6. Both coaches be¬moaned the sad total of freethrows made—3 out of 15.The second game showed earlysigns of duplicating the opening rout, but Mathews settled for aconstant 10-point lead which theyheld or bettered throughout thegame. Stewart’s 12 points pacedthe Mathews attack and boostedhim over Coulter’s Karler in therace for scoring honors. Stewartnow leads by two points over Kar-ler’s 22. The Mathews-Linn scrapwas a more skillful affair thanthe opener; the two teams madefour out of 15 free throws.The standings of the teams, in¬cluding Tuesday’s games:Team w. L.

Thegrunt-and-groan boys from the U.of C. came back Tuesday night toeke out a victory over IllinoisInstitute at Illinois by the narrowmargin of 18-16. Chicago captured the three light, These three falls gave the grapplersclasses against Wisconsin for the | of the Midway a fifteen point lead,third consecutive meet. Melas andPalmer outpointed their men togain three points a piece, and Wal-ford fashioned a fancy fall in the136-lb. class. However, the Badg¬ers took the last five bouts, all byfalls, to win.Once again in the Techawk meetChicago’s three fine, fast light men,Melas, Palmer, and Walford, con¬tinued their personal undefeatedseason by throwing their men. When Zaffros of Chicago succeed¬ed in outpointing his opponent inthe 165-lb. class, 10-2,-his threepoints were sufficient to give theMaroons the victory. The win overthe Techawks brought the season’sscore to two wins against an equalnumber of defeats.Only leitermen, and gals kissedby same, are allowed to sit on the“C” bench directly in front ofCobb Hall.

Chicago putup a battle during the first quar¬ter, but their lack of reservestrength plus Indiana’s height ad¬vantage curtailed Maroon scoring,and the Hoosiers marched, on toan easy win.Saturday, Norgren’s squad ofsix or seven men, one of whomstill suffers from an ankle injury,travels to Iowa City for its secondand, fortunately, last game withIowa. Although Chicago playedits best game of the year againstthe Hawkeyes in the previous con¬test, a Maroon victory tomorrownight would have to be consid¬ered something of an upset.Chicago will conclude its wan¬derings Monday night in Cham¬paign, where it is scheduled tomeet Bob Doster and company ofthe University of Illinois. Mr. Dos¬ter led his mates to a 70-29 vic¬tory when the Illini played here,and this department does not lookforward to any radical Maroonimprovement.Good and Evil TopicNext Adler LectureMortimer J.

It pointed outthat the “excellent care renderedin the University hospitals is sowidely known and hospital spacein the Chicago area is so scarcethat it is highly doubtful if theloss of income from patients wouldbe ^preciable.”Not Certain of Income Decline“1 » any event,” the committeesaid, “it has yet to be proved thatASTP DepartsPlans for the dissolution ofthe A.S.T.P. program on cam¬pus have been completed.Captain A.
