^9^ Power Shortage Cancels Campus jPeriod R.B, JULES STRICKLANDThe University of Chicagofollowed the rest of the nationinto a partial paralysis thisweek as the crippling coal’• strike showed no signs of set-'tlement in the near future. Ac¬cording to Howard B. Mat¬thews, Assistant Business Man¬ager of the University, theamount of power used on cam¬pus had been cut by thirty-fourper cent in the early part ofthe week and further reduc¬tions will probably becomenecessary as the available fuel supply dwindles and the na¬tion faces a complete blackoutof coal-p r o d u c e d electricalpower.Sweeping measures havealready been taken to conservepower. All elevator service, ex¬cept in Billings Hospital, hasbeen suspended, all artificialventilation has been curtailed,and any use of power not abso¬lutely essential to the runningof the University has been dis¬continued for the duration ofthe emergency.In the dormitories, students ate theis meals by candlelightand sat in lounges where theuse of electricity has been cur¬tailed, in some instances, asmuch as seventy-five per cent.Both the Reynolds Club'andthe Ida Noyes Clubhouse areclosed after six o’clock, withthe exception of one loungewhich is left open in the Reyn¬olds Club for the use of com¬muting students. In Ida Noyes,ther shortage has been char¬acterized by either a cancella¬tion or a shift to an afternoonfrom an evening time for allextra - curricular events. The popular “snack-bar,” a featureof the Cloister Club from 9:30till midnight has also been dis-continuf^d for the duration.Miss Marguerite Kidwell, As¬sistant Director of Ida Noyes,has annoui^ced that all organi¬zations having evening pro¬grams should contact her ifthey desire to change theirmeetings to an afternoon time.Plans for the Spring Formal,to be held on May 18th in IdaNoyes, continue to go aheadon the cha-'ce that sufficientpower will be available to holdthe dance as planned. Practically the on^y extra¬curricular activity which wentthrough as planned was theAVC-sponsored “EAM and theGreek Elections Rally” whichwas- held in In nationalHouse by candlelight.Mr. Matthews has issued anearnest appeal to all studentsto conserve as much electricityas possible by studying duringthe daylight hour? and by cut¬ting lighting during the eve¬ning to an absolute minimumin the dormitories and resi¬dence halls.®ltp Oil iaraon54 YEARS OF SERVlUi: m^ERSHIPVOL. 5, NO. 23—^-14t THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, FRIDAY, MAY 10, 1046 31 PRICE 5 CENTSSummer RegistrationTo Hit Highmark,Predict Nearly 1400Summer attendance at the Uni¬versity of Chicago will reach anall-time high this year, WilliamE.

Can you grow a 5 o’clock shadow on your upper lip?Have you seen yourself in a mustache lately? Do you want tosave time shaving while you’re studying for exams?If you answer yes to any or all of these questions, you’re anatural for the traditional Mustache Race, first, since 1943. Ithas long been customary for University men to revive the goodold days of Handlebar Hank once a year in a contest for thebest hirsute adornment. No matter how young or how old youare, you stand a chance to walk off with the silver mustachecup and have your name engraved on the plaque in the Reyn¬olds Club Barber Shop.Rules for the contest, sponsored by the Barber^ Shop andthe Maroon, are few and simple:1. At 12:00, May 24, appear at the C Bench (in front ofCobb Hall) as closely shaven as possible without drawing blood.2. From May 24 to June 8 use massage, magic hair restorer,or any means short of pasting on a few extra hairs to growthe most artistic and hairiest mustache possible.3. Judging—in the Circle at 12 o’clock, June S—will be onthe batis of amount and arrangement of the mustache alone;you’re marked off for a beard.

Thenoted musician spoke in the ninthof the “Works of the Mind” se¬ries, entitling his speech “Heartand Brain in Music.”Schoenberg said that he be¬lieved “that a real composer writesmusic for no other reason than that it pleases him. Those whocompose because they want toplease others and have the audi¬ence in 'mind are not real artists.”Contending that “real music bya real composer might produceevery kind of impression withoutaiming to,” . Schoenberg describedhis own procedures and experi¬ences in composing various of hisworks. These he illustrated byslides, piano, and recordings.Discussing his compositions,Schoenberg showed how somewere “produced with ease, othersrequired hard labor.”u (jM.

Along a side street in tbe areaembraced by tbe stockyards is a ratber drab, non-ostentatioustbree-story building—Tbe University of Chicago Settlement.The address is 4630 McDowell Ave., and it is the site of one ofthe most challenging social experiments in the never endingwarfare with poverty.Fifty-one years ago a parade of underfed, under-privilegedchildren began streaming to that address. At first the house wasjust a flicker in the murk of the stockyards area. But it grewswiftly. And it gained worldwide attention in Upton Sinclair’s“The Jungle,” a powerful protest against social injustice. Todayit brings new hope and inspiration into the lives of many forwhom the securing of bread to eat and a place to sleep is a dailystruggle.For many years the University has contributed a large shareof the funds and personnel. It has used the house as a basis forsociological study. But far more importantly the StudentSettlement House implies recognition that a University has avital and important role to play in a community and that i^ isimpossible for an educational institution to entirely divorceitself from the swift moving current of society.On the Quadrangles the Student Settlement Board twiceeach year seeks to “tag” each U. of C. student in support ofone of the most meritorious projects which the Universitymaintains. The Settlement House is in a real sense, therefore,the property of the students of Chicago.Today is Tag DayPay your taxes—pay them generously.—A. K.War on BigotryThe Anti-Discrimination committee, in a thoughtful andcarefully phrased petition, this week called on the medicalschool to end the discrimination practiced against Negroapplicants.It is indisputably true that no direct evidence exists thatqualified applicants have been rejected. It is also true, however,that no Negro student has been admitted to the Chicagomedical school since 1937 and that the facilities at Billings hos¬pital are closed to Negro students, the only branch in the entireUniversity where such practice is condoned.The dean of the medical school and many of his colleagueshave stated publicly that if and when the tides of public opinionhave changed, the bigotry bars will be lowered. The moral im¬plications of such a stand should be obvious to everyone, evento medical scientists.ADC, however, has chosen to face the issue on medicalschool terms. It is demonstrating that student opinion is vigor¬ously and overwhelmingly opposed to thoroughly disreputablepractices.It is unfortunately true that the use of petitions on thiscampus has not always been judicious. There are limits to theeffect of such action. In this case, however, the editors of THECHICAGO MAROON are convinced that no wiser course ofaction is available at this time. THE MAROON strongly en¬dorses the ADC petition. It urges that every student do likewise.I Editorials In BriefStudent Federalists who will attempt to found a chapterhere next week believe that world government is necessary andtherefore possible.

I feel this way be¬cause of several existing conditions which portend nothing but evilfor our country and our world and the apathy with which the Ameri¬can public accepts these circumstances.First, today, according to an article published in the Chicago Sun,68% of the American populace expects the United States to fightanother war within the next 25 years. 11% expect another war within50 years. Add the two groups and you see that 79% of the people inthe United States envision a war within, at the most, 50 years. Theimmensity of the problem we face is ample cause for such a dismalopinion; but the very immensity of this problem increases the neces¬sity for its solution. No prob^em can be solved by inactivity. We havethe ghastly evidence of the recent war, its untold misery and carnage,still before us. To tolerate by remaining passive the conditions thatmight lead us into another conflict is criminal. And we are thecriminals.to PresidentTruman Another circumstance that adds to my distress is a situation pointedout vividly in an article in the May issue of the new magazine Salute,a publication produced by former editors and writers of Yank andStars and Stripes. The article has to be read to best understand theproblem it sketches but an explanation of this matter is easily pre¬sented. Despite a general antipathy for the Army, a great numberof veterans have re-enlisted because the economic conditions here athome, civilian life dreamed of so hopefully by the millions who served,did not permit them to support their families or to enjoy a few of theluxuries of being alive. “These men, for whom society could not finda place, were bitter and disillusioned. ... Now, back in the Army, theystill were groping for that elusive will-o’-the-wisp—security. . . . Thenightmare of those four or five or twelve months of civilian insecuritystill hung over them . . Here is a tragic situation, a criminal situa¬tion. And we are the criminals.The third case I wish to mention is one that not only contributesconcern but a-lso furnishes a principal cause for anxiety. Accordingto last week’s MAROON poll, 75% of the University of Chicago vet¬erans are not affiliated with any veterans* organization. The majorityof excuses offered for not joining centered around “lack of interest”or “lack of time” or a belief that veterans should not be “differentiatedfrom other citizens.” Here we find that the men who are most awareof the consequences of a nation’s errors and the sufferings of peopleare not making an effort to avoid a repetition of the tragedy. Theyabsolutely refuse to accept the full responsibilities of citizenship. Andthese men are criminal above all others.I fail to see how we can be uninterested in the face of what isgoing on about us. I can not agree that we have no time to devote toarresting these dangerous developments. I can only see that, regard¬less of the many differences among veterans, the very fact that wewere forced to pay for the gross mistakes*made in the last generationhas established the basis for a degree of unity among veterans im¬possible to achieve in any other type of democcatic political organiza¬tion. This also gives us an appeal that can be possessed by no othertype of organization—an appeal that can make us more effective Incombating the peril we face.I am a member of a particular veterans* organization because it isorganized “for the purpose of serving the welfare of our nation andol^fke world” and not for the purpose of continuing the “comrade¬ship” developed under arms or for the purpose of squeezing specialconcessions from the nation for the sole betterment of the veteran.To those who do not and can' not share this faith I can only urge theselection of an organization that merits their confidence and thenstriving to make of that outfit an effective instrument in aiding ournation and the world. If my organization can not be such an instru¬ment, I will search for one-that will not fail, that must not fail.Until we have effective movements to meet our problems, th' *■ I*no possibility for the diminution of anxiety. I pray that thh Imepublic action is not too late, and too little.ABERT POPHAM-DEAR MR. TRUMAN:By your declaration this weekfor a U. S.-armed Western Hem¬isphere military bloc you havecommitted the United States tofight the third World War.For 2500 years—for at least aslong as there is recorded history—nations have been involved in con¬tinuous warfare because eachsought self-protection througharmed might. Armed might in oneprovoked armed ihight in others,Suspicion provoked suspicion, tearled to fear, and the inevitable re¬sult was war. I had hoped thatthis time it might be different. Ihad hoped that the leadership ofthis nation might b^ giver to men—of vision? yes—but if that’s toomuch to ask, at least to men whohad read enough history to see thatthe first impulse is a false one,that “security through strength” isan ancient lie that has engenderedthe battlefields of Europe andAmerican and the world since manfirst organized into a politicalbody.The ONLY preventive for waris international cooperation. Don’tyou see that? Don’t your advisersin the War, Navy and State De¬partments see that? Today wehave almost within our grasp, inthe United Nations, the chance tomake international cooperation ef¬fective. By your declaration thisweek you have killed the UN new¬born. You have declared the third—the atomic—war.You have omitted one item fromyour proud declaration. You leftout the condolences and explana¬tion to the millions of Amarieanmen, women, and children whowill be wounded and killed. who«sehomes will be laid waste—for the next war won’t be fought far, faraway in Europe and the Pacificbut here in America, here in this“aweet land of liberty,” this landthat you and your advisers, inyour misguided efforts to protect, have committed to terrible de¬vastation.Yours in quiet jJespair,RICHARD K.

Generally speaking,it is an expression of academicopinion, a “professor’s program.”public Service BroadcastThe Round Table is a publicservice program; air time is do¬nated by N.B.C. Other expensesof the program are met by theUniversity by use of a grant fromthe Sloan Foundation. _Responsibility for the programrests with the University RadioOffice. Subjects and speakers areselected as a result of consultationwith faculty members and withthe Board of Radio, a policy advi¬sory committee composed of fac¬ulty members and President Col¬well. Final decision on who is tospeak is made by the participatingUniversity faculty member of eachparticular program and by theRadio Office. George Probst, amember of the College Social Sci¬ence faculty, is Executive Secre¬tary of the Radio Office.Large Listening AudienceProspective speakers are usuallyglad of the opportunity to reachthe Round Table’s large audience.During the winter the listeningaudience is estimated at 5 to 7millions. Invitations to appear onthe program are rarely declined,except for previous engagements.As a rule, the speakers meet fordinner on the Saturday eveningbefore the broadcast. At this meet¬ing they discuss the Round Tablesubject and agree on a set of ques¬tions that will be the focus of thediscussion and that contributemost to clarification of the sub¬ject. A topical outline is thenprepared, which may be revised.The next step in preparing theRound Table is a Sund-y morningBosic to a reed-slim you...PowerMiracle, the waist-whittlingwonder mesh that controls'witho coress..;abbreviates bulges.Bi-directional stretch makes ifseppie as yOur skin^ yet oh socurve-convincingt In pantiesend girdles At better stores—*5.*V€pT€€nle, POUNOATlONtmw vetK M, practice broadcast.

There have been a few occa¬sions, such as the discussions onCancer and on Housing, when itwas felt the use of a script gave amore adequate presentation. This,however, is unusual.By and large, the Round Tableprograms are planned three toeight weeks in advance, thoughwhen some important issue sud¬denly comes up, the program maybe changed at the last minute.Many of the broadcasts originatein Mitchell Tower, w'here the Uni¬versity maintains a complete radiostudio. Often, however, the pro¬gram is broadcast from N.B.C.studios in other cities, chiefly NewYork and Washington.Transcripts ,of each broadcastare published by the U. of C.Press. These pamphlets contain averbatim report of what was said,and also supplementary materialsand suggested readings on the sub¬ject. This material is prepared by»the Radio Office, under the direc¬tion of Mrs. Catherine Johnson.Subscription sales of these tran¬scripts average 7,000 copies perweek, while sales of single copiesaverage over 2,000 each week.The Round Table began in 1931and was broadcast locally overWMAQ until 1933. Since that timeit has been on the N.B.C. nationalnetwork.Topics scheduled in the near fu¬ture include: Wartime Lessons forPeacetime Psychiatry, Cancer,What Are the Steps to World Gov¬ernment?, The Political Outlookfor America.

Reconversion IsHor^d TaskFor Med SchoolWhile other departments of theUniversity of Chicago reconvert topeacetime programs, the MedicalSchool has not been idle. Withover a thousand applicants forsixty-five openings each year infreshman classes, deceleration hasbeen a hard job.During war years one additionalcomplete class was graduatedabove the normal pre-war sched¬ule, because of acceleration inArmy and Navy programs. Mem¬bers of the March graduating classwere the only ones to have gonethrough completely on the stepped-up schedule. Deceleration entailedpostponement of the freshmanclass due to enter this quarteruntil next fall quarter. There¬after, the Medical School will re¬turn to the conventional mannerof annual entering classes eachfall. At the moment, however, aunique situation has arisen, forthere is now no first-year class in;|he Medical School.Navy medical students weredischarged at the start of winterquarter, while Army A.S.T.P.trainees retained their militarystatus until the beginning of thisquarter. In both instances the stu¬dents continued on in the MedicalSchool as civilians.The next entering class is al¬ready three-fourths filled. Morewomen medical students will beadmitted than ever before at anyone time, and a large percentage ofthe class will be composed of vet¬erans.At the present time, in order totake maximum advantage of clin¬ical facilities at Billings for teach¬ing, the junior and senior classesare staggered through the year byhaving one fourth of the class dropout each quarter. In that waythere are always three-fourths ofthe class present, since 45 to 48students are the most handled inclinical instruction. Another im¬portant step effectively taken isthe opportunity and traininggiven students in research and in¬vestigative procedures while theyare still in medical school.Among the students there ap¬pears to be a growing interest inMedical School spirit. The lastthree medical classes have pub¬lished a year book, and it is an¬ticipated that future classes willcontinue ia this line. 18C English Prints ExhibitHere Is Varied, OriginalBy Don BaumThe exhibition of drawings andprints by English artists of theeighteenth and early nineteenthcenturies now on view in Good-speed Hall should do much to dis¬pel the misconception that Eng¬lish art of this period is sterileor uninteresting compared withcontinental art of the same period.The show is unique in that it isthe first time that English draw¬ings of this period have been col¬lected and shown in America. Thestriking aspect of the exhibit isthe variety and originality of thedrawings, which, although typical¬ly English in character, shows anumber of different approachesand an interest in experimenta¬tion. In looking at this exhibitionit is necessary to keep in mindthat many were actually done asbook illustrations with allegoricalsubject matter.The most interesting, if perhapsthe most obvious, of the drawingsare those of Henry Fusely. Theyare extremely pdwerful and catcha moment of violent action withvigor and imagination. In addi¬tion to the boldly sensitive lineof the drawings, the compositionsgain intensity through the use ofdramatic areas of light and shade.“The Descent of Hermod to Hell”has a good touch of surrealisticdetail in the two hands rising outof the ground on the left. Fusely’spowers of invention can readilybe seen in the pen and wash draw¬ ing • of “Andromeda” and the“Scene” from The Faerie Queen,both of which have an eerie andforceful mood. The illustration byFusely for A Midsummer-Night’sDream, with its fantasy andwealth of detail, is indeed a mas¬terpiece of curious invention.Although many of the otherdrawings in the show seem weakin contrast to the Fusely, they allhave some peculiar characteristicto make them deserving of notice.The baroque pen-line of the SirJames Thornhill drawings has afresh quality that gives the rhyth¬mic forms a near-abstractness.The reclining male figure by JohnHamilton Mortimer has a classicline and understanding of thevolumes of the human body thatgives the drawing vitality.For a combination of linearpurity and design quality, one canturn to the prints and drawingsby Flaxman. In his simplicity ofline and form, can be seen theinfluence of William Blake andsome evidence of his work for thepotter, Wedgwood. One of themost interesting of his drawingsis that of the Canterbury Pilgrimswhich conveys with great skill theliveliness and variety of this sub¬ject. This drawing is probablycontemporary with the versions ofThomas Stothard and WilliamBlake, the controversy over whichended their lifelong friendship.Both the Blake and the Stothardversions can be seen in the exhibit.William WambaughThe Critic's CornerConcert presented in Mandel Hall,Friday, May 3, at 8:«0 p.m. The FineArts String Quartet (Leonard Sorkinand Morris Morovitsky, violins; Shep¬pard Lehnhoff, viola; George Sopkin,violincello).

From first tolast the quintet is revelatory of itscreator.Walter Piston’s first quartet isan interesting work' with a realdevelopment section in the firstmovement. Development sectionsseem to be considered outmodedby some, like the Soviet’s wunder-kind Shostakovich, because theydon’t know how to write them.Nevertheless, stringing themestogether like beads on a stringnever produced an integrated pieceof serious music. If music is sup¬posed to reflect the age in whichit is written, this quartet is aproduct of today. Piling up of un¬resolved discords produces a ten¬sion in the listener in the firstmovement. The second movementhas lyricism distorted by tension,again. The racing finale someonein the audience likened to anautomobile factory in full produc¬tion. The cumulative effect is oneof intensity and sincerity, well ex¬ecuted. VThe Fine Arts Quartet is a wellintegrated ensemble which bringsrelief to the ears of its listeners,especially after having them as¬saulted by the efforts of some oth¬er resident quartets. While in¬tonation is a little sloppy in spots,the quartet, disbanded during thewar, has made rapid strides inreturning to its high prewar stan¬dard.♦ ♦ ♦This eolumn is glad to correctan error which appeared in lastweek’s review.

Forcatalog, College Courae Dean.KATHARINE GIBBSI have been asked whether Iconsidered my trip to Spain worth¬while; whether I was being ‘prac¬tical.’- I believe my going was theessence of practicality.There was no hope of personalgain, no feeling of martyrdom,among the men of the AbrahamLincoln brigade. We loved life.We felt our lives depended on howthe Spanish issue was resolved.W'e wanted arms for Spain to savethe United States.In 1937 Chamberlain’s appease¬ment and non-intervention policywas polluting the democratic at¬mosphere, and the magnificentfight of the unarmed Spanishpeople against Axis intervention—the first in Europe—was like afresh ocean breeze. Our govern¬ment had clamped an embargo onthe Spanish republic. I knew thenthat it was up to the people ofthe Western democracies to forcea change in that policy.The issue was clear: stop Axisaggression or face a world war.Anti-fascists hired halls, gave outleaflets, spoke on soap boxes, toldfriends, gave money. Our cry,compared to the desperate needand the wonderful opportunitywe had within our grasp, was likea cry in the wilderness. Red-bait¬ing labels were freely appliedagainst us.Wanted Alliance Against HitlerAmong those who should haveknown better, perhaps it sootheda guilty conscience, but it shouldhave been clear to all but the po¬litically blind and the hopelesslyprejudiced that a two-front mili¬tary alliance against Hitler couldhave stopped him at any time upto Munich.The cost of our country’s com¬placency can be counted in a hun¬dred thousand dead Americanswho should be alive today.The men of the Lincoln Brigadewere trying to dramatize this issuefor Americans. Of three thousandvolunteers, over fifty per cent werekilled knowing that.Volunteers Walk Across EuropeThe volunteers from all overthe world, the thousands of Ger¬man and Italian anti-fascists, somewho had escaped from concentra¬tion camps, the Poles, Czechs andJugoslavs who had walked acrossEurope to fight the Axis, the 400French who defended Madrid in1937 with merely their flesh, noweapons, wanted only peace andan end to fascist threats and tor¬tures. They believed that human¬ity could have a world withoutfascism, without war, a worldwhere human beings could livein dignity. They had the courageto act on it.The robust manner in which theSpanish people went about fight¬ing feudal exploitation strength¬ened our convictions. Groups often, men and women, would goout looking for the ‘fascistas’(there were no fronts then). Whenone was killed, another would pick up his rifle—there were, you see,not enough rifles to go around.Disturbed by Present AppeasementSix hundred thousand Spanishrepublicans died during the warEmblazoned on their banners wasthe slogan: “Make Madrid theTomb of Fascism.” But the StateDepartment wouldn’t listen.These anti-fascists gave theworld a warning once.

Butthey were forced to pay whateverprice the Japanese chose to ask. Andeven at 1919’a exorbitant top figureof $3.75 a pound, they were neversure of a full supply.Men of Du Pont imdertook to makethis country independent of such anunsatisfactory source. They knewthat camphor could be synthesized,but to make it at low cost and inlarge quantities was an entirely dif¬ferent matter. Long years of experi¬ment and research produced littlebut disappointment. But finally, in1932, a way was found to producelow-cost chemical camphor on a com¬mercial scale that matched nature’sproduct in color, texture, scent andusefulness.QoHi^O from TurpentineBasic material firom which Du Pontcamphor is made is pinene, obtainedfrom turpentine from southernpine trees. The formula of pinene(CioHie) seems to differ but little^m that of camphor (CioHieO), butthe structural difference is consider¬ably greater than is indicated by thesingle atom of oxygen. Although thechemical conversion of pinene tocamphor is not difficult to accom¬plish in the laboratory, to do so eco¬nomically on a commercial scaletaxed the ingenuity of many Du PontchemistSj engineers and designers.World War II completely shut offthe supply of natural camphor. Butwithin a few months Du Pont pro¬duction men were able to step up theoutput of the man-made pr^uct totake care of military, medical andcivilian needs. Today this supply isgoing into the manufacture of hun¬dreds of products that will bring more comfort, more satisfaction,more joy into the lives of millions.All the men at Du Pont—chem¬ists, mechanical engineers, civil en¬gineers, and hundreds of others whoworked on this develoixnent—feelgreat pride that they were able tofree their country from foreignsources for such a vital material inour industrial life.• • •SYNTHESIS OPENS NEW ERAIN PERFUME MANUFACTURESome of the most intere^ing discov¬eries at Du Pont have come from^'fundamental” research groups as¬signed to establish new scientificfacts without regard to immediatecommercial use.Synthetic musk is an example.Musk is the most important singleingredient used in perfumery, a fixa¬tive blending many subtle odors intoone fragrance and making it lasting.Until recently its only source was themusk deer of Tibet, an animal near¬ing extinction.Then Du Pont organic chemists, intheir long-time study of giant mole¬cules, noted that a group of ringcompound]^ called macro-ketones re¬sembled musk in odor.
