AMU LEADERSHIPVOIi> 5, NO. 22—Z-149 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, FRIDAY, MAY I, 1946 31 PRICE 5 CENTSNew ExamInitiatedin PhysicsInstitution of a new comprehen¬sive basic examination coveringnine quarters of pre-academicwork in the physics departmenthas been announced by Frank C.Hoyt, executive secretary of thedepartment. Passing the partlywritten and partly oral exam satis¬fies requirements for the Master’sdegree, and is one requirement foradmission to candidacy for theDoctor’s.Subject matter of basic coursesin physics, including a number ofthree- and four-quarter sequences,will be covered, as well as thecontent of six approved courses inother departments of physicalsciences.Need linusual AbilityDoctorate candidates, Hoyt said,musi not only pass the compre¬hensive, but demonstrate “unusualability” and find sponsors in thedepartment for their researchUieses.At present, registration in thedepartment hovers at around 130,Qi Aitovit izo will probablyseek admission to candidacy forthe Ph.D. “Only a fractioj^ of thisnumber can be accommodated,”Hoyt speculated.Believe “Good Idea"“While this move has beenforced partly because of limitationsof space due to assignment of fa¬cilities to Government war re¬search projects, we believe it is,aside from that, a good idea.People will have passed theirbasic course .requirements beforestarting research and thesis work,under the new arrangement. Theycan work more intensively inphysics the first two or threeyears, then concentrate on inde¬pendent investigation and re¬search,” he stated.Radio Midway tobe Campus-WideRadio Midway, student radiostation located at Burton-Judsonhas curtailed its broadcasting ac¬tivities for the next two weeks inorder to complete arrangementsfor campus wide coverage of itsbroadcasts. The station receivedthe go-ahead sign from the Officeof the Dean of Students followingan examination of its broadcastsby Dean Kimpton, John Wilkinson,and John E. Yarnelle.Present plans include a leasingof telephone wires for completecampus coverage, which will notonly permit the reception of RadioMidway in all of the girls’ dorms,including Snell and Hitchcock, butwill also enable residents of Inter¬national House and the QuadrangleClub to pick up the station.Another important aspect of thisexpansion will be the broadcastingof lectures from the Quadrangles,and the broadcasting of Sundayniorning services from RockefellerChapel,The first broadcast on a campuswide scale will be on Monday,May 13^ when Chancellor Hutchins’speech on “The Administrator”v/ill be rebroadcast from a record-made at Rockefeller Chapel. Mayer IssuesReply toDean CoreyMilton H. Mayer, Tutor forthe Committee on SocialThought and campus greatbooks leader, yesterday is¬sued THE MAROON the fol¬lowing statement, a reply toStephen M. Corey’s recentattack on “core-curriculum”theories of education.“I^ good books are unin¬telligible to the young, badbooks must be even more un¬intelligible and the ChicagoTribune must be wholly un¬intelligible. As one con¬secrated liberal to another,I ask Mr. Corey, how are weto fortify the young againstthe Tribune?”Corey, Professor of Educa¬tional Psychology and Deanof Students in the SocialSciences, last week attackedHutchins-Van Dpren educa¬tional theories in an addressbefore the American Asso¬ciation of Collegiate Regis¬trars at Atlanta.“Those who claim that theclassics can be read withgreat profit by everyone aredisdaining the only court ofappeal that makes sense,namely, the young peoplewho read the books,” Coreyasserted. “Plato and.

It is anticipated that 30groups will be formed in bothCleveland and. Detroit, and an¬other 20 in Indianapolis. JohnBarden, Assistant Dean of Univer¬sity college, 'is supervising devel¬opment in these cities.Prepare ManualPreparation of a manual foruse by individual small groupsstudying the books “on their ownhook” is also in process. MaryBudd, University editorial assist¬ant, is writing a version of thiswork based on the notes of Morti¬ mer Adler. Publication is tenta¬tively scheduled for some timethis summer.Martin bases his estimate of a1947 enrollment of 5,000 on a sub¬division of 600 downtown, 1,800in Chicago neighborhoods, 1,000each in Cleveland and Detroit, and600 in Indianapolis.Origin of the books courses wason campus in the Hutchins-Adlerseminars given to regular studentsof the University. These are stillcontinued by Adler and MiltonMayer. First broadening of scopeof the work thus started camewhen University College adoptedthe idea for its adult educationprogram. It currently offers 18courses in great books, with anenrollment of 500.34 Groups in ChicagoYear ago, working through li¬braries and schools, the courseswere exported to the Chicagometropolitan district. Some 70lawyers, teachers, and librariansnot connected with the University were trained by Adler to act ascourse leaders. There are now 34groups, with an enrollment of1,200.Most recent step in this ex¬pansion of neo-classicism is thecurrent invasion of the three ad¬ditional Midwestern cities.Appear Successful“University faculty membershave visited each of the groups inoperation in the Chicago area,”Martin said, “and they appear tobe educationally successful. It isentirely possi^jle that we shall beable to do as many as a dozencities by a year from now.“The project is of general in¬terest to the University as a w'hole,as Mr. Hutchins and others havebecome increasingly interested inadult education. And of coursethe University has a responsibil¬ity for education at the adult levelas well as the levels of generaleducation and specialization inthe divisions.” Forum PresentsAll-VeteranPanel DiscussionThe Student Forum presentedan all-veteran round table discus¬sion Saturday night at Hobo Col¬lege on the question “Can WeGet Along with Russia?” Theparticioants, Bert Wax.

Neumann,who has devoted much study tothe relationships of logic andmathematics, spoke on “The Math¬ematician,” the eighth in the series“Works of the Mind.”Arnold Schoenberg, one ofthe outstanding composers ofour time, will deliver thenext lecture in the series,“The Musician,” on Tuesdayevening. May 7. Schoen¬berg’s talk is particularlysignificant, not only becauseof his work as a practicingmusician, but also because ofhis contributions to musicaltheory.Neumann’s lecture was dividedinto two main parts. First, he at¬tempted to show “that much of thebest mathematical inspirationcomes from experience, and thatit is hardly possible to believe inthe existence of an absolute, im¬mutable concept of mathematicalrigor, dissociated from all humanexperience.” Secondly, by compar¬ing the methods of mathematicalwork to those of a natural science,Neumann concluded that the cri¬teria for success in mathematics“are clearly those of any creativeart, and the existence of some un¬derlying empirical, worldly motifin the background—often in a veryremote background ... is muchmore akin to the atmosphere ofart, pure and simple, than to thatof the empirical sciences.”Honor SocietyRevived at UCThe University of Chicago chap¬ter of Skull and Crescent, nationalsophomore honor society, has cometo life after its four-year war¬time hibernation.

Many and varied solutionsto the problem of social participation have been proposed—someare new, such as the dormitory social unit, and some are old asthe University, such as the women’s clubs.The recent disbanding of Esoteric after a half century ofcampus activity prompts a reexamination of the functions thewornen’s clubs were founded to perform and supposedly areperforming at the present. The clubs were originally formed fortwo purposes: service to the University and provision of a nor¬mal social life for their members. There is no question that theclubs, as one of the few well-organized groups on campus, havebeen performing services to the University which no other grouphas done.But the clubs’ other function is just as real and important.The clubs do provide a certain necessary basis for social life to asmall segment of the student body. The majority of the studentshave to depend upon what the University offers in the line ofextra-curricular activities. At present many of the 90-odd activi¬ties offered by the University are being ignored partially be¬cause of lack of interest on the students’ part and partiallybecause of lack of time. This brings up the problem of whetherparticipation in social life by a few (i.e., club women) is betterthan participation by none.Can the club system be expanded and adapted to includemore students? Or is the club system to be abandoned while theUniversity attempts to develop a program for all students? Ifthe first alternative is adopted, the clubs must correlate theirchange wHh the University’s academic changes in emphasis onthe four-year College rather than the old bachelor’s degree; theclubs must adjust their activities to those of the dormitoriesso that they do not conflict.Another point: racial and religious discrimination have beendiscouraged by the University since its founding. To keep pacewth the University, the clubs must likewise discourage discrimi-naton. They have taken the first steps toward doing so: no clubof the eleven now active on campus has a religious or racialdiscrimination membership clause in its constitution. 'At leastseven of the clubs do not regard the clause as unwritten law:last fall during the bidding of freshmen women, all except fourclubs bid women of a religion usually discriminated against.This would seem to point the way to a democratic attitudeamong club women which is in harmony with the University’sstated policy.The second alternative, abandonment of the club systemwhile the University develops a complete ...ocial program for itsstudents, may be the true solution to the situation. However,before the club system can be abandoned, the University andthe student body must be prepared to work together in plan¬ning and actually participating in a program of activities beforethey have the right to deprive even a small group of the studentsof an opportunity for social life.Editorials in BriefITEM: The Board of Trustees has appropriated $100,000 forenlarging the Quadrangle Club, mecca of recreation for wearyfaculty members.ITEM: The number of University students who lack ade¬quate housing because of inadequate dormitory facilities.« * inMorality begins at home dept.: The faculty of the divisionsand the graduate schools is "alarmed** over the curriculartendencies in the College.

China Students,Denied FreedomPlead for HelpWe. the students of this Univer¬sity, three other universities andtwenty-seven middle schools inKunming, call to you for aid. To¬day three of our students and onemiddle school teacher lie in theircoffins in the library of this Uni¬versity, murdered by the agentsof the Government. They hadcommitted no crime. They hadcome out on strike because free¬dom of speech, freedom of assem¬bly, and freedom from arbitraryimprisonment had been denied tothem. The Government proclaimsit is a democracy, and in doingthis it lies; there can be no democracy without freedom. Meanwhilethe Government uses all the weap¬ons of fascism against us—intimi¬dation, provocation, even murder.Today the dead lie in our libraryunder the national flag. Theywould have grown up and helpedto build a new China, but theywill not grow up and they will notstudy again in our library. Theywere like you—they wanted free¬dom and peace and democracy, butunlike you they were denied thesethings. They had committed nocrime, yet they are dead, andothers will die unless freedom re¬turns to China, for we shall fightto. the end for those freedoms wehold sacred. Death we are notafraid of, because we know weare helping to bring a new Chinato birth.There is a time in the progressof nations when those who lovefreedom must stand together, andwhen those who ask for aid mustnot be refused. We, who wantonly to be free, call to you acrossthe Pacific Ocean and say, “Is itfreedom when the Governmentsends its agents to break up ourUniversities? Is it freedom whenstudents are murdered? Is it free¬dom when we are beaten up bymen in plain clothes? Is it free¬dom when hand-grenades arethrpwn at us and kill us, and welive continually in dread that thosewho have used machine guns tobreak up our meetings by firingabove our heads will lower theirpoint of aim and destroy us? Weare the only voice that speaks forthe young in China. Unless youhelp us now, that voice may besilenced.”We want freedom and democ¬racy—and we want peace. Wewant an end to the Civil War,which threatens to bring the wholeof eastern Asia down upon ourheads and yours. We want liberty.We want a truly constitutional andelected Government. We want anend to dictatorship, warlords, mili¬tary tutelage, the rule of the gun¬men and the secret* police. We donot want foreign armies on oursbil, and we want the Americanarmies to withdraw. We want tobe free men, walking freely in afree country. We are men of good¬will, we are young and we are de¬termined upon our freedoms.We, who live in darkness, call toyou in the sunlight, and ask foraid. We ask for this urgently,speedily, before our darkness ismade perpetual by oppression andwe lose the things we hold worthy.If you help us now, you will re¬ceive our love forever. If youdeny it, a fascist government with100,000,000 bayonets behind it mayrise on the ashes of this war, andwe shall be powerless to prevent it.The great Founder of our Re¬public, Dr. Sun Yat-sen, came toyou for aid and you gave it freely,and now once again we ask you todo everything in your power sothat freedom may be restored to usand that there may be peace inour land.The Student Council of theNational Southwest Associ¬ated University (The Uni¬versities of Peking, Tsing-hua and Nankai now inKunming) Kunming, China.Submitted through Inter-Organization Council- .

I do knowhowever, that your attitude as' expressed in last week’s editorial leavesmuch to be desired.While paying lip service to **equality of opportnnlty** anddemocratic society” you add that of course the real problem Is that thelower classes” would “impair in some measure the academic greatnessof the University.” Moreover you seem Quite wUling to perpetuateexisting state of affairs by educating the “financially able,” since afterall “they will wield the greatest influence.”“The existing order,” I would like to point out, is certainly not oneof the happiest to be attained; neither is such a University as ours to beused solely for supplying future members-to the financial elite. ShouldI be mistaken in this matter, I would at least like to be helpful insuggesting the opening of an “Institute for the Further Cultivation ofthe Bubonic Plague.”If my interpretation of your editorial is entirely false I attributeit to the fact that, unfortunately, 1 belong to the plebeians.Most respectfully yours,LOU WEINBERG0 * *TO THE EDITOR OF THE CHICAGO MAROON:The April 26 issue of the MAROON in discussing the impendingtuition raise takes one step forward and two steps backward.The Communist Club applauds the MAROON for its distress overthe tuition raise and agrees with the statement that this “strikes at thevery heart of one of our basic beliefs: the principle of equality ofopportunity.”But we disagree with the MAROON’S opinion that “the quality ofthe student body would not be impaired by financial barriers.” On thecontrary, we believe that without sons and daughters of those who tendthe machines among the students, the University will be divorced fromreality and truly become an ivory tower.Has Real OpportunityBecause of its location in the heart of a basic industrial area, theUniversity of Chicago has the opportunity to combine intellectualachievFhnent and the very real problems of the American people.But the steadily rising tuition creates a gulf between those who canbecome students and the great masses of Americans. On the other handin the Soviet Union education is limited only by one’s ability.The real issue is exposed most sharply by the MAROON’S rhetoricalquestion: “Is it not better to educate those with financial means sinceit is they who in the existing order will wield the greatest influence?”Such a position completely negates the democratic tradition of TomPaine, Jefferson, Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt. There is no placein any real democracy for any limitation on education based on incomeor race.Does the University REALLY believe in a democratic society andgovernment by the people?What efforts has the University made to find ^soiutions more inkeeping with the historic ideals of our society that will not set up in¬vidious barriers to attendance?Unless the University can answer these questions many studentswill be forced to come to the conclusions that the University of Chicagois an instrument of the wealthy for the maintenance of their oligarchiccontrol in the United States.The Communist Club of the U. of C.:1. Demands the rescinding of the tuition raise.2. Urges all students and the MAROON to support Inter-Or¬ganizational Council’s mass meeting on tuition and to demand areal accounting by the University.3. Calls for a student bill of rights, implemented by a studentgovernment, so that students’ rights and opinions can be demo¬cratically and correctly registered on all matters affecting studentlives.MARK SKINNERChairman, Communist ClubU. of C.Elect Kineheloe NewSettlement PresidentSamuel C.

Not since Stravinsky- conducted his L’HistoIr d’un Sol-dat two seasons ago—during thefirst season of concerts—has anywork been tendered the ovationwhich The Bells received. Cheer¬ing, shouts of “bravo,” fusilades ofapplause marked the curtain of theperformance. Mandel Hall wassold out for the event and fewworks have ever come to theirworld premiere before more alertand favorably disposed audiences.The plot of The Bells brieflystated is the wooing and weddingof the Bride by the Bridegroom,a happy period followed by a peri¬od of alarm and fear. The King ofthe Ghouls appears and lures theBridegroom away to become thevictim of the decadence and de- haud has still kept his fine sense of T^/7Y'1i^V ^ t^line: but hp has body iylUllUUUline; but he has addedwell.Remi Gassmann, director of theUniversity’s Composers’ concerts,is to be congratulated on the bril¬liant work which he furnished hisaudience. This success is more inkeeping with the artistic triumphsof the all-Milhaud and all-Stra¬vinsky concerts of the first season’sComposers’ Concerts, which hadestablished an all-time high inUniversity concerts, until the ad¬vent of the present work. CertainlyThe Bells is a far more immediate¬ly comprehendible work than wasHindemith’s Ludus Tonalis whichhad its world premiere here dur¬ing that memorable first season.While Ludus Tonalis has not beenperformed elsewhere subsequently,it seems likely—on the strengthof last Friday’s audience-reception—that The Bells will have severalsuccessful performances next sea¬son. Probably the austere LudusTonalis might gain a warmer re¬sponse here by a second perfor¬mance, since it should not presentso great a problem to the listeneron second hearing. I may bewrong; but it seems to me that,when the University brings to pre¬miere a new work, it assumes amoral responsibility to see that theBELLS. BELLS, SELLS'“Hear the sledges with the bells, Silver bells.What a world of merrimeBt their melody foretells.”pravity of a world going mad. TheBride, seeing her lover tom fromher, tries to shut out the chaosaround her with a black veil. TheKing of the Ghouls triumphs com¬pletely; this is symbolized by thecollapse of the church, depictedas the background of the ballet.The curtain falls upon a tableauof death and dissolution.The music of the ballet is by noTneans overly gloomy. It is, rather,forceful and relentless in its driv¬ing energy. Seldom has Milhaudproduced a score of such tight-packed drama and action. If hisearlier L’Orestie d’Aeschyle, awork of the utmost emotional in¬tensity, is his crowning achieve¬ment as a writer for the lyric stage,then I think that The Bells (whichin many respects parallels thisdynamic earlier score) will be hisgreat contribution to the dancestage.It is a far cry from that facetof Milhaud’s musical style oftwenty-two years ago as repre¬sented by Les Malheurs to theMilhaud of April, 1946. The con-trast can nowhere more readily beobserved than in the melodic linesof The Bells, longer than theclipped neo-classical expression ofhis earlier style. In matters emo¬tional Milhaud has come to relymore upon the clear delineation oforchestral expression than uponthe subtle nuance of the sung wordand terse style of the ’20’s. Mil- work has every opportunity to“catch on.”The score of The Bells is bril¬liant, driving, diamond-faceted. Itwas beautifully and well realizedin performance by about thirtymembers of the Chicago Sym¬phony under Nicolai Malko’s ener¬getic leadership. Ruth Page, sub¬stituting for Berenice Holmes whowas incapacitated by a sprainedankle, gave a successful perform¬ance as the Bride, as did RobertJosias as the Bridegroom. Choreo¬graphic honors go to Jerome An¬drews, whose King was one of thebest executed roles seen on thedance stage in several seasons.Laud also goes to Roger Eng¬lander, graduate student in the De¬partment of Music, who served fortwo seasons as associate musiccritic of THE CHICAGO MA¬ROON. Having left the Universitytemporarily to try his wings on thelegitimate stage, he returned towin his spurs as Stage Managerfor this production, no mean taskconsidering B&G’s usually un¬obliging nature.Scenery for the ballet consistedof plain colored backdrops, witha symbolized church lineally out¬lined in the center of the rear wall.Costumes successfully imitatedeverything from bells to alarms—see Poe’s poem for this last. In¬cidentally, whoever proof - readFriday’s programs should look upStanza IV of Poe’s poem and seehow the Iron Bells completedthought—it wasn’t by “melody.” Work IsStyle ContrastLes Malheurs d’Orphee (“The Mis¬haps of Orpheus"), chamber opera inthree acts, music by Darius Milhaud,text by Armand Lunci.

The following yearit was^ accorded a performance inNew York. Curiously enough, dur¬ing the same period th«t he wasworking on this small-scale, over¬ly refined opera, he was also pol¬ishing the score of his L’Orestie d*Aeschyle, one of the most acrid,emotionally supercharged operasever written, to Paul Claudel’stranslation of Aeschylus. Probablynowhere else in the history ofmusic has there been such a con¬trast of styles: the bitter cgmedyof a parody of the Orpheus mythcontrasted with the most magnifi¬cent canvass of Greek tragedy.In writing lies Malheurs Milhaudmade a return to the separatenumber convention of the eigh¬teenth century opera; there is nocontinuous flow of melody as inWagner, although the breaks wereminimized as much as possible inlast Friday’s performance. Hereis a score of great sensitivity, yetof the greatest restraint. The emo¬tion of the story lies in the in¬flection of the vocal line ratherthan in the score; and anyone whoknows French poetry can realizehow very subtle that nuance canbe.Needs Small TheaterAs a chamber opera Les Mal¬heurs can be produced most satis¬factorily in a small theater like theReynolds Club Theater. So inti¬mate a style, with only twelvesingers, thirteen orchestral play¬ers, and a conductor, was somehowlost in Mandel Hall. Perhaps thefact that the orchestra outnumberedthe singers by one man might ex¬plain why the orchestra obscuredthe singers so heavily at times asto leave the vocal line floatingnebulously under a blanket of in¬strumental accompaniment — ifthere were not another factor op¬erative.Algerd Brazis’ Orpheus was thebest conceived performance. Hisvocalizing, however, suffered oc¬casionally from throatiness due toforcing. Anita Braude’s Eurydicewas low in volume and throaty;her diction was also poor. AnnaDorn as the Fox and DorothyStaiger as Eurydice’s twin sisterturned in, with ease, the mostpolished and effective perform¬ances in the opfera. AndrewFoldi’s Bear might have been bet¬ter had it been audible. This wasnot entirely Foldi’s fault—nor wasit the fault of the rest of the sing¬ers that they were indistinctlyheard. Mr. Lange was entirely tooheavy-handed with a score whichprobably would have profited bythe most delicate approach. WhyMr. Malko, who so effectively in¬terpreted The Bells, was not alsoasked to prepare the opera is be¬yond me. Mr. Malko’s experiencewith the musical theater far trans¬cends Mr. Lange’s. As it was, Mr.Lange apparently was not suffi¬ciently master of the situation tocontrol the orchestra under him. Maroon PollMost U of C VeteransStay Out of Vet CroupsSeventy-five per cent of a sample group of U.

However,nearly 20 per cent of the unorgan¬ized vets felt that “veterans as suchshould not be differentiated from reasons for joining the organiza¬tion: “seems to be the most demo¬cratic and progressive veterans*organization” . . . “best of all thevet groups” . • . “identificationw’ith progressive pressure srroupswhose ends include the people asa whole” . . . “because of its pro¬gram for betterment of nationaland world social conditions.” Adissenting voice held that “AVC isother citizens’* . . . “disapiMrove of too radical and impressed with itsorganizations catering especially to own importance.”veterans,” etc. One comment tookthe attitude that “veterans repre¬sent a haphazard cross-section ofan age-group only—as civilians,their interests cannot be repre¬sented reasonably by any groupwhich has as members veteransonly.”About twelve per cent of the non¬joiners had not yet decided whichgroup they would choose, while13 per cent expressed the definiteintention of joining AVC in thenear future.Proponents of AVC, comprising20% of the entire one hundredveterans interviewed, offered as; The sample, taken in the Vet¬erans’ Office, the Reynolds Club,and Prefab City, showed an evensplit between College students andveterans at the divisional or pro¬fessional school level.

A good deal of thought andimagination has gone into thestaging of these plays’, two quali¬ties which have been mostly latentwhere dramatics are concerned.They are worth seeing, worth talk¬ing about, and very much worththinking about.The first three plays chosen bythe Workshop Theatre are notwhat you would call pleasant oramusing. If there is humor inthem, it is combined with pathosto give that nameless quality whichwas, so admirably sustained in“The Glass Menagerie.” Williamsis touching but he is never senti¬mental. His work has been com¬pared with that of Chekov, whichit does in some ways resemble, al¬though Williams’ one act playshave more the air of the vignette,and certainly less plot. They areadmirable character studies givingthe impression of an artist whohas taken a great deal of troubleto paint one brilliant figure on acanvas, but never bothers to fillin the background.A short play is doubly hard to get across, not only because theactors have less time to capturetheir audiences, but because theymust work up to an emotionalpeak in no time at all, and makeit seem probable. Wednesday nightthe principal actors succeeded ingoing far beyond the stage of mereprobability. “Portrait of a Ma¬donna,” the study of a frustratedold maid is a one character play,regardless of the fact that fiveother people appear from time totime. As the madonna who tellsthe story of her frustration HelenAuerbach did a very fine job. Theplay was hers, and she has dbnejustice to it.“This Property is Condemned,”which gets my vote for being thebest acted piece of the evening, isa captivating little drama about ayoung strumpet.. Yet a strumpetimplies something vulgar, and Wil¬lie is far from being either low orcommon in Nancy Alexander’s in¬terpretation. She has caught boththe naivete and the prematuresophistication of the child in a waythat is quite affecting. GeorgeMorrison, as Tom was boyishly in¬credulous, and very real.“Lady of Larkspur Lotion” an¬other play about dreamy degener¬ates is perhaps the best written ofthe group. It was satisfactorilydone on Wednesday night butdidn’t quite carry the impact thatit should have. The effect was oneof stiffness instead of tension, ofan idea being realized on one sideof the footlights but not carryingto the other.“Purification” an arty pieceabout sin in a Mexican town, andthe truth which brings purification,took up the second part of theprogram. For the peculiar#effectMr. Williams wishes io attain heemploys blank verse containing agood deal of involved symbolism,a chorus, a guitarist, and dancers.It is a kind of spectacle really tooimpressive to be produced on assmall a stage as that in the Reyn¬olds Club Theatre.rate t THE CHICAGO MAROON IWrWay» May |, imJules StricklandC-Ration By RALPH WOODGuest columnist Jules Strickland Is Americanan ex-sailor, an ex-bachelor, havingrecently married Ruth White, a stu¬dent in the College; he is an ex-con¬tributor to the New Yorker, and ex¬pert on pre-fab housing.

Professor Georga¬lalas, a member of the Academyof Sciences of Athens and thePolitical Committee of the Social¬ist party of Greece, is on theCentral committee of EAM (theGreek resistance movement).Georgalalas will explain theEAM liberal front (which com¬prises two million manbers of thetotal Greek population of sevenmillion). At present the EAMincludes the Agrarian party. Unionof Popular Democracy, and theGeneral Confederation of Labor.In December, 1944, Prime Min¬ister Papendrau’s police, withBritish-manned tanks standing by,fired into a crowd of ELAS-ELAM demonstrators, killing 22 andwounding 140. This act precipi¬tated the bloody thirty-eight daycivil war in which 3,500 soldiersand civilians lost their lives. Dur¬ing this time, EAM-ELAS andtheir sympathizers were opposedby the British armed forces andRoyalists.EAM boycotted the Greek elec¬tions of March 31, charging thatelection lists were drawn up byreactionaries and royalists whoomitted the majority of EAM vot¬ers, and that the lists excluded15,000 persons still in concentra¬tion camps as well as 50,000 inhiding to escape persecution.The campus chapter of theAmerican Veterans Committee re¬grets to announce that it has can¬celled the wienie roast and beerparty originally planned for May3, dlie to inability to obtain bev¬erages.ISBELL'SRESTAURANTthru locationsS90 Divarscy Pkwy.940 Rush St.1438.Hydu Pork Rlvd. cigars and liquor. People have alot of money these days and in¬creased taxes on these items wouldhurt no one.”John Leonard East, having madethis point during an interview thisweek, cited one of his sons as anexample. This son had an $8,000annual income as a lawyer beforehe went into the Army, but nowhas to rebuild his practice fromthe ground up. It will be sometime before he earns his pre-warincome again.Proposed Vets for PrimariesAs Republican committeemanfor the 5th ward and as a fatherwho had four sons in service, Mr.East has done a lot of thinkingabout veterans* problems. He has,moreover, spent much of his timefinding them jobs, giving themadvice and helping them in politics.One of his pet ideas, which didnot find ready acceptance amongother bigwigs of the RepublicanParty, was to present in this year’sprimaries a party ticket composedentirely of ex-servicemen, veter¬ans of World War II. Since hebelieves that the current trend ofopinion is to get the ins out, hisaim was to develop a wholly freshslate of men who had had nopolitical experience.Mr. East thinks that no one hasexperience until he actually holdsa job. Hence, he saw no reasonfor not nominating candidatoclacking knowledge of public office.‘‘After all,” he said, “those mendidn’t have any experience whenthey went into Normandy on D-Day, did they? And they had cer¬ tainly never crossed the Rhinebefore. The problems of the coun¬ty sheriff’s office can’t be anytougher than what those boys facedon D-Day.”Commltteenun Here 25 YeargBorn 53 years ago in southernIllinois, Mr. East has lived inChicago ind in this ward since1912. He has been the Republicanward committeemap for over 25years, outlasting four or five Dem¬ocratic committeemen in thattime. He has held no other publicoffice, elective or appointive, anddraws no salary in his presentpolitical job; but he makes a com¬fortable living for his large fam¬ily from his coal brokerage busi¬ness.His entry into politics camewhen he got good and mad aboutthe firetrap that was passing fora s(;hool for his youngsters. As amember of the Parent-TeacherAssociation, he had sought a newschool building. The Bret Hartegrammar school was erected thefirst year he became committee¬man. In general, he believes mostpeople who enter politics as re¬formers must and do becomemore practical as they go along.In a district that has changedpublic officials often, Mr. Easthas, he says, become “the deanof Hyde Park politics.” Asked bythe Republican headquartersdowntown to estimate the numberof party vote.«i in this spring’sprimary, he sent in a 7,565 guess.Just last week he was advisedthat final returns showed that the5th ward had come through withexactly 7,565 GOP votes.Are these Arrow Tiessirloin or cyanide?As the saying has it: One man’s meat is anotherman’s poison.Recognizing the truth of this, we've provided forevery nuance of good taste by making Arrow Tiesin colors, patterns, and style that someoot’s sureto respond taOne blessing common to diem all Is the speciallining that makes perfect-knotdng easy.See your dealer’s Arrows today.

Accordingto past records Coach Wally He¬bert’s boys were given a 50-50chance in only six of the ninematches. They came through withwins in each of these contests andcame within the proverbial hair’sbreadth of another one in the topdoubles match.Chicago’s Earl Theimer and Wal¬ly Michel held five match pointsagainst pre-war stars Bobby Jakeand Larry Daly, but they couldn’tget the point that counts the most.The Northwestern combination isgenerally conceded to be the topdoubles team in the Conference.Results of the two matches fol¬low:Wisconsin:Singlt'-,: Theimer (C) beat Hentsen(W) 6-1, 6-4; H.

The irony of this game comesin the score, for in their two pre¬vious tilts the two teams hadscored a total of 104 runs!Pi Lam coasted to an easy vic¬tory over the Betas, 12 to 2, to runits string to three straight, andcontinued to get the fine pitchingthat had marked its earlier vic¬tories. The Alpha Delts are in sec¬ond place in the University League,having lost only to the Pi Lams.These two teams, together withthe Phi Psis and D.U.’s will enterthe play-offs after the regularseason’s games have been finishedto determine the over-all winnerof the softball league.Lindquist (N) 6-3, 0-6, 6-2; Fine (C)beat Rotb (N) 7-5, 7-5.Doubles: Jake, Daly (N) beat Tbei-mer, Michel (C) 7-5, 8-6, 8-6; TuUy,Tully (C) beat Norman, GUckman (N)6-4, 6-4; Husum, Jernberf (C) beatLindquist, Roth (N) 6-3, 6-4.Mead Leads IM LeagueAfter Win Over CoulterWith volleyball finished andCoulter crowned champion, theBurton-Judson league carries onwith two sports, tennis and 16-inch softball. Today’s softballschedule matches Dodd and Meadat 4 p.m. Mead, incidentally, is theonly undefeated squad in theleague.There has not been much inter¬est shown in intra-mural tennis,but there are three matches sched¬uled this week. Coulter meetsLinn on Monday, Mathews vs. Sal¬ isbury on Tuesday, and Vincentvs. Mead on Thursday.The Mead ball team seems as¬sured of first place by virtue ofits victofies over both Coulterand Mathews, both tied for secondplace. Perhaps the best game ofthe season was played last Mondaywhen Mead downed Coulter 11-6.Coulter was leading 6-5 going intothe last of the sixth in a seveninning game, but was unable tostop a six run splurge by theMead team. Rudolph, burly pitch¬er, starred for the victors. FineTimeIt never rains but what it pours.Chicago’s baseball team startedthe diamond season not too longon talent and even shorter innumbers. Each first string playerwas almost indispensable. So whathappens?First, Catch Marv Bailin stops aball with his right hand and endsup with a couple of bruised fingersthat keep him out of the line-upfor a few games. Then, regularcenter fielder LeMoine Stitt frac¬tures an ankle in practice and isstill hobbling around in a cast.That wasn’t bad enough. Comesthe first Michigan game last Fri¬day and Johnny Sharp gets hit onthe fingers with a pitched ball andas a result he misses the gamethe next day as well as last Tues¬day’s affair with Concordia. Ontop of all that, Johnny didn’t evenget to first base when he gotstruck by the ball. The umpirecalled it a foul strike.Nor was that alL Big BernieEisenstein stretched for a widepeg at first base in the same gameand found out all about Michi¬gan’s football team for next year.The batter, a hefty linesman inthe grid sport, threw a perfectblock into Bemie. Though he fin¬ished the game. Big was alsounable to play the next day, andIs still unable to bend over quick¬ly or to straighten up after he iaonce bent over.Consequently Coach Kyle An¬derson has been forced to fieldteams that drive to distractionsimple sports writers who are ac¬customed to seeing pitchers pitch,catchers catch, and outfieldersplay the outfield.It takes an alert reporter to keepup with Hal Noffainger, for in¬stance. Originally listed as a hurl-er, Hal is no stranger to the out¬field or to the first base position.It is perhaps just as well that heis not also a catcher; a slightmisunderstanding might result inhis pitching and catching at thesame time.Something like that could get aman down.Friendly gesture...
