MAY 17, 1946 31 PRICE 5 CENTSBegin Plans of 1-0 C toSend Student to PragueMunnecke, KimptonAnswer Tuition QueriesBy SHIRLEY ISAACStudent feeling on the contro-vei-sial tuition issue ran highWednesday at an Inter-Org. spon¬sored meeting at which Universityofficials were scheduled -to answerquestions on the recent hike intuition rates and discuss student-administration relations.Because of the rain, attendancedwindled to a group of about 50highly vocal students, includingprominent representatives of suchcampus groups as AYD, the Marx¬ist Club, and several fraternitiesand women’s clubs, who poured arapid fire of questions at Dean ofStudents Lawrence A. Kimptonand Wilbur C. Munnecke, Vice-President in Charge of BusinessAffairs, on all aspects of the tui¬tion question and on the issue ofstudent representation in the Uni¬versity government.Take It or Leave It“There will be no guaranteegiven that tuition will not beraised again, or that it will not belowered,” Munnecke stated, ex¬plaining that .such a guarantee isimpossible in the face of a possibleinflationary period “which may hitus tomorrow.”In answer to student questioningof the need for the tuition raise,Munnecke replied that a studentwho has no confidence in the Uni¬versity administration should notbe coming to school here.Meeting Tense. UninformativeThe tense and somewhat acri¬monious atmosphere pervading theassembly was intensified by theChair’s strict curtailment of ques¬tions and refusal to entertain mo¬tions because, according to Rich¬ard Philbrick, moderator, “Jt wasmy understanding that the meet¬ing was to have been an informa¬tive one.” Munnecke, whose an¬swers to the last few questionswere timed by the chairman, watchin hand, left promptly at 5:00.Kimpton consented to remain at astudent’s request that he also an¬swer questions.Discuss Federal AidDiscussion returned again andagain to the question of govern¬ment aid to the University. Speak¬ing on the is.sue, Kimpton saidthat the University of Chicago wasnot willing to accept governmentfunds on the basis that 'Chicagowould tend to become a state in¬stitution, “dominated by the statelegislature,’* which would be em¬powered to order the curricula andother aspects of the school organi¬zation. “If the government willunderwrite our research, howeverwe will be tiappy to have them doso,” Kimpton concluded.A youthful speaker in the audi¬ence called for a show of hands ofthose willing to work in a studentorganization capable of consultingwith the Administration; howeverthe suggestion was termed “out oforder” by the chairman, and short¬ly thereafter the University offi¬cials left.Students Carry OnUnder the gavel of Jane Coltey,President of Inter-Org., the meet-‘•^g was transformed into » rally turning entirely on the studentgovernment question. The pro¬posal of a student that representa¬tion be built around the frame¬work set up to elect a delegate tothe Student Conference at Prague,will be discussed at Inter-Org.’snext meeting, Tuesday, May 28.All University students are wel¬come to attend the Council’s openmeetings. Miss Colley said. FOOD DRIYE TODAYA drive to gain money forUNRRA’s Food for Europecampaign will be sponsoredtoday on campus by Inter-Org Council.

But the campus is, at longlast, congratulating the WorkshopTheatre on presenting an intelli-'gent and thoughtful evening’s en-'tertainraant.First of all, the choice of playswas significant. After the hum-j,drum “Winterset,” ‘*Blithe Spirit,’’and “Ah Wilderness,” which havebeen produced by almost every'dramatics office in the country,'the appearance of Tennessee Wil¬liams comes as a weleome and in-,vigorating relief.

The state department is disinter¬ested; UNESCO is still very much in the formative stage andprobably will not have such plans in operation for several yearsto come.In the meanwhile the responsibility has been left to the uni¬versities. Specific proposals should be drafted by this universityin collaboration with other leading educational institutionsthroughout the world providing for full exchange scholarshipsfor meritorious students in all fields. The possibility of a year’sStudy abroad would be a rich inducement to students every¬where.We will know that the peace is here when the U. of C. ex¬changes nuclear physicists~with the University of Stalingrad.A Word to the Wise • • •The long lines of disappointed students who were denied ad¬mittance to the Frank Lloyd Wright lecture here this week be¬cause of lack of facilities should provide an object lesson to thosewho sponsor university lectures and other events of similarwidespread public interest.It is indisputably true that a university has fundamentalobligations to discharge to the public, and that it is desirable,whenever possible, that its facilities be made available to mem¬bers of the immediate community. It is also undeniably truethat the University’s prime consideration should be to its stu¬dents ; lectures are staged principally for the benefit of studentsand faculty, not for the residents of the University neighbor¬hood. It was most unjust therefore, that Mandel Hall shouldhave been occupied by neighboring residents, while students,whom Mr. Wright was allegedly scheduled to address, wereunable to gain admission.The remedy should be simple and obvious. The Universityissues identification cards to students; it should issue similaridentification credentials to faculty and other University per¬sonnel. Where a large attendance is expected the Universityshould require presentation of an identification card. Only thenshould the doors be opened to the public.The alternative is to stage such lectures in locations whereeveryone desiring may attend. It perhaps would be wise to haveRockefeller Chapel available to care for the overflow if a largeaudience is indicated by the nature of the event.This is not the first time that students have been turned awaywhile neighboring residents have been seated.It should be made the last time.Editorials In BriefThe University has just purchased a $325,000 betatron(atom smasher) for the nucleur institute which requires athree-foot concrete shield.

THE CHICAGO) MAROONAn Open Letterto theStudentsOn the weekend of May 10-11, apoll taken by the author of over300 people of voting age in theChicago area showed that 80 percent of them believed that “Weof America do not have a govern¬ment truly representative of thepeoples* will.” Breaking down ofthis poll showed that only 1 percent of the men polled were proneto commit themselves, while 68per cent of the women polled wouldnot commit themselves on thequestion. At the same time 74 percent of the men polled were rigidlydefinite in their opinion while only150 per cent of the women weredefinite in their opinions.Too ComplacentWe today in this country havethe framework for a representa¬tive government.

If the veteran (or anyone else) completely ful¬fills his simple duty as a citizen of the United States, he will havemade significant accomplishments in the direction of world peace. Theorganization of special groups is, therefore, based on the assumptionthat the individual will necessarily fail as a citizen; is based, thu.*^, ona profound faith in cynicism.The ix)litical cynic stands on no moral ground from which to levelthe accusation, “criminal,” but it is no great wonder that he shouldwish to invite additional dilemmatics into his paradoxical fold.J. R. SQUIRESCritique of the AdministrationTO THE EDITOR OF THE CHICAGO MAROON:Despite the recent outbreak of griping in the MAROON and e lse¬where on the campus, many of us, tired of complaining, would ratherput in a good word for the University’s administrative policies. Wewould like to consider it a homogeneous whole, bound together bycommon principles of integrity and service. But how can we, whilethe pettiness, penny-pinching, and nice-nelly moral standards of theadministrative and supervisory staffs are responsible for policies andpractices sadly out of place in an institution whose curriculum is dedi¬cated to “education for freedom?”Why, for instance, is there a long-standing rule against the donationof house activity funds to charitable agencies, a rule which effectuallyblocked Woodlawn Hall’s recent attempt to contribute its fund to theFamine Relief Onumittee? What is the greater good, buying a keg ofbeer or trying to atone for our common guilt by saving a few peoplefrom starvation?Why are some of the keystones of the new plan in the College, suchas optional attendance at clas.ses and abolition of short-term grades onthe permanent record, being modified or abandoned without notifyingstudents beforehand? Haven’t we heard .somewhere that an adminis¬trator should have the courage of convictions?We don’t have the answers. Perhaps Aristotle or Hume wouldhave them, but we’ll never know until either our educators descendoccasionally from their Olympian detachment, or our administratorsstop giving imitations of the Successful Businessman and begin totake to heart the ethical teachings of our ancient revered mentors.JOSEPH KOSTOLEFSKYThis is an example of what Imean, that we do not exercise thepowers given us by a government.Susan B.,Anthony would turn inher grave if she knew that thewomen whom she had freed satabout, not thinking, caring, orknowing about their governmentto the amount of 68 per cent.

May 8, our dorm (Gates) was alerted at about11:30 and we were warned that the electricity emergency was rapidlydeveloping into a critical situation which would require our full co¬operation with the orders of the I.C.C. We were asked to use as fewof the common (hall, bathroom, lounge, stairway) lights as possible,no top lights in our rooms, and only one study li^t per person perroom. Furthermore no electrical appliances virhatcver were to be usedon pain of confiscation from violators. I did not know what arrange¬ments had been made in other houses, but the request did not seemunreasonable. I own no electrical appliances; one study light is betterfor my eyes than an overhead, so I went back to bed.Thursday afternoon. May 9, I came back to the dormitory to findthat each room had been entered by a group of students led by thehouse president, under the authority of the Office of the Dean of Stu¬dents, and the Office of Business Management. Not only had eachroom been entered, but every electrical appliance In or out of sight,broken or usable, had been “lifted,” and a neat little receipt left in itsplace. Those of us who asked about the legality of the action, or eventhe decency of it, were told to go see Miss Pope, or Mr. Wilkinson, fromwhom the order came. Ha. I had nothing taken; I had nothing to take.But I am tingling with righteous anger that the University could orderthe use of, or even think to use the methods that we so rightly deploredin the Gestaix) of Hitler-Germany, in the (assuredly efficient) policeof any totalitarian country. (Note: They are also the methods used bythe parents of very small children who cannot be trusted with dan¬gerous playthings.) Violators should have been acted upon—in a man¬ner appropriate to the dignity and democratic background of a college,any college. Tht^ir attitude does not command respect. But neither doesthe use of a “goon squad” command respect. It does command fear.My room was locked. It was entered and .searched.

Lewis stuck with his consequence of technological im-demand for a coal production roy- provements, and partly becausejng the use of atomic weapons ifwars break out, and the problem re¬solves into seeing that wars do notbreak out. The only way I can seeto do this is through world govern-inent,” said Samuel K. Allison,director of the institute for nuclearstudies, expostulating on atombombs and international politics.“If future wars are going tobreak out, they’ll make the lastone look like a tea party,” he con¬tinued. “The Lillienthal report hasa number of good points: the in¬spectors provided for are not justflat feet, but scientists interestedin the peaceable development ofatomic energy; but I don’t think itwill solve the problem unless thecommittee is given a good dealmore power by association with aworld government.“As an adequate solution in it¬self, it is a snare and delusion. Itwill not solve the problem of theatomic weapon, which is a problemof war. If war breaks out, bel¬ligerents will sever their diplo¬matic relations, cloi^e their fron¬tiers, and convert their atomic en¬ergy plants to war-time use. Itmay take six months or so beforethe bombs start falling, but anyas.sociation of sovereign stateswould be inadequate to cope withthe situation.”Pessimist About World Govern¬mentThese are the views of one of thecountry’s outstanding atomic scien¬tists in regard to the political rami¬fications of the development ofatomic energy. On the other hand,Allison is pessimistic about thepractical possibility of formationof a world governing body. “Ex¬tremely slim,” he says.Allison has been head of thenuclear institute since its inception“on the front porch of a New Mex¬ico ranch house, last fall. BartkyUrey, Gustavson, Fermi and I weresitting there and decided thereought to be such an institute, andthat’s how it was started,” he re¬called.On the wall behind him in Alli¬son’s office are floor plaps and asketch of the proposed building tohouse the research institutes ofthe University.

On the whole we’repleased with the designs. At anyrate, it’ll be the first time we’veplanned a building to accommodateour equipment. Before we’ve al¬ways had to take the equipmentand jam it into some pre-existentGothic structure.“Until the new laboratory isavailable we’ll have to continueworking in Jones, Kent, and Elck-hart,” Allison said. At the momentwork of the institute is at low ebb.“I have to put on a badge just toget into my laboratory in Eckhart,”he stated. However, Enrico Fermi,member of 'the institute and pro¬fessor of physics, is conducting re¬search work at the Argonne labo¬ratory. Nature of Fermi’s workwill not be released until declas¬sification is obtained from Wash¬ington.Allison, now forty-f'veish andgreying, got his doctor’s at ChicagoIn ’23; has since been at Harvard(National Research council fellow),Carnegie foundation, the Univer¬sity of California. Since 1930 hehas been at Chicago in the physicsdepartment.X-ray ResearchBefore turning his attention tonuclear work, Allison did researchon X-rays, in 1935 authored, inconjunction with' Arthur HollyCompton, X-rays in Theory andExperiment. “The book was a sortof grand finale to my work with erine Campbell, Allison has twochildren. He is a member of Quad- . , .enough to grant it,” Raleigh W.rangle Club, the board of editors of ^ gt^ne, professor of industrial rela-“Physical Review,” and the Amer- tions, said In discussing issues inican Physical Society, during the c®** strike.“But this was one occasion whensomeone in Washington showed aray of intelligence,” he continued.“Lewis called the royalty off be¬cause Truman had announced thathe had been advised such a royal¬ty was illegal, and would himselfOut of town music lovers now! so consider it.

It is analogous to the one hefaced in the early 20’s, when hisunion went to pieces. But if hecould get a ten-cent-per-ton roy¬alty, he would have a highly stablefund dependent on coal producedrather than on number of minersemployed.“Such a royalty would in effectbe an automatic tax on techno¬place, any strike which lasts more ^ logical improvement.

Thephotos are by far the most vitalpart of the exhibit. All the mostimportant works are illustratedand some of the photographs are,from a technical standpoint, ex¬ceptionally fine. For example, the photos of Taliesin West and theKaufmann House at Bear Run,Pennsylvania, are admirable. I alsofound the photos of the ImperialHotel in Tokio following the bomb¬ing, taken in November and 'De¬cember of 1945, of unusual in¬terest.Of a more incidental nature arethe two small sculptures whichseem to have a rather static ele¬mentary conception of form.However, one would do well to come out of the 20 per centlook in at the exhibit if inclined to jsupplement the lecture.

Stone commented: “JohnL. will not get his royalty; he evi¬dently has now withdrawn his de¬mand on this point. But the dispu¬tants spent about nine weeks justlooking at each other, becauseLewis would not bargain until thispoint was settled.”The point was settled when tjjiestrike dragged on and Lewis losthope of effectuating his coal tax,so that “he embraced his adver¬sary,” and negotiations proceeded.“A strike is lost,” Stone elabo¬rated, “unless a better settlement isobtained after the strike thanwhat could have been obtained inthe first place. Lewis could havegotten a raise, undoubtedly. Thepattern has already been estab¬lished, at 18 per cent.“He’ll probably get the minersan 18 to 20 per cent raise, but if hewants to take it out in the form ofa welfare fund, it will have toOtherunions have established welfarefunds, and about three per cent ofthe gross payroll is the standardallocation. John L. will never getthe seven per cent he is now de¬manding,” Stone concluded.The Critic's CornerEx'Twin-Bedder TipsPre-Fob Ex-BochelorsIt was with a deep pang of con¬cern that I discovered, in readingex-bachelor Jules Strickland’s('-Ration two weeks ago, that thereis a twin-bed dilemma in Pre-FabCity. Those who think progresshas been made in providing mereshelter, for an infinitesimal num¬ber of the homeless, are not onlyfusty frontier-psychologists, butalso do not understand the finerthings of life.If my scorn has averted the eyesof all fusty frontier-psychologistsand non-understanders-of-the-finer-things-of-life, the rest of usmay now read on. To the abovementioned ex-bachelor then, whopleads for a solution, and to otherex-bachelors in Pre-Fab City whosilently plead for a solution, Iherewith come to your rescue withsage advice.Speaking as an ex-twin-bedder,ex-push-em-together-twin-bedder,ex-double-bedder, and now strict¬ly a single-bedder, I say: Don’t letthe cruel Army (or Navy) makeyour marriage unhappy. There areways of getting around the Armyas all good gold-brickers and badofficers know. While you were in the Army, you got around the Armyas best you could. Now, inspired bythe University of Chicago, take ahint from its patron-pagan, Soc¬rates, and get around it by reason.Like this: If one bed is good,two are better. If you rent theother bed, you save rent. If yousave the.other bed, you won’t needreplacements so soon. When it’shot, two beds are better than one.When it’s cold, one bed helps. Ifyou have two you can use one, butif you have one you can’t use two.Or like this: There are manydisadvantages to old-fashionedsleeping arrangements. In a doublebed, both people have to be thesame weight to balance the bed.Both must like the same numberof blankets. A double bed takesthings for granted—twin bedsdon’t. You probably can’t stay madat one another in a double bed,even if for a worthy cause. Thisleads to a lowering of standards.Should arguments be settled dia¬lectically or unjustly?In fact: What this world needs,besides worldly wisdom, is morebeds*(Ex-Mrs.) Rose Encher. By WILLIAM R. WAMBAUGHThe fourteenth concert of theUniversity College series tookplace on Wednesday, May 8, at4:00 p.m., instead of 8:15 p.m. asoriginally scheduled. In spite ofthe change of time Kimball Hallheld about one-quarter of the se¬ries’ subscribers. It is to be re¬gretted that the courage of thesubscribers had to be tested twiceby the program which assailedtheir ears. The Chicago SymphonyQuartet played, after a fashion,Schumann’s Quartet No. 2 in F,Op. 41, No. 2, and Mendelssohn-Bartholdy’s Quartet No. 3 in D,Op. 44, No. 1.Both quartets are vivaciousworks and much too-neglected. Iam afraid, however, that they areapt to be neglected in the futureby people who associate the workwith its interpretation. The Schu¬mann has a brilliant finale, inwhich unexpectedly appears thebridge passage of the last move¬ment of that composer’s “Rhenish”Symphony. The opening move¬ment of the Mendelssohn is a dis¬play piece for the first violin, asort of concerto with string trioaccompaniment. The first violin¬ist, Mr. Weicher, seized upon thismovement as a vehicle for display.Unfortunately, his intonation wasnot equal to the task.Although the first movement ofthe Schumann sounded as if it hadbeen rehearsed, the rest of theprogram degenerated into a brawlbetween the first violin and theother players. Mr. Weicher fellinto his usual habit of getting offpitch.

PeetersBy EDWARD KAUFMANNIn the short space of an hour,Flor Peeters, Belgian organist,provided his listeners in well-filled Rockefeller Chapel not onlywith a diverse program, but withplaying which ranged from medi¬ocre to superb. It was in the mid¬dle portion of the program thatMr. Peeters* playing achieved themost satisfying effects, for herehe had ample opportunity to dem¬onstrate facile technique with finemusical taste as well. The FugueModale by Buxtehude, brief as itis, is a magnificent and spiritedcomposition, and was performedwith all the energy and buoyancythat it demanded.But Mr. Peeters’ playing reachedits culmination in the IntermexEofrom Widor’s Sixth Symphony,where Mr. Peeters brought all hisforces together so that the scher¬zo-like patterns and motifs of themusic were emphasized with bril¬liance and clarity, while the workance. One hopes, now that Mr.Weicher has risen in the world,that he will withdraw from- thequartet and give his colleagues achance to develop — with a newfirst violinist—a mnre stable, re¬liable organization. as a whole retained its coherenceand form. The Troisieme Choraleof Franck, which was the middlespot on the program, could havebeen the high point of the recital aswell. While there were manymoments of masterful playing,there prevailed in several in¬stances a dullness which obscuredsome of the beautiful and lyricalpassages. The music itself is ofmany moods, and is among thefinest to come from the Frenchmaster.In such works as Bach’s D MajorPrelude and Fugue, and the twoshorter compositions by Vierne, anartist of lesser repute could haveaccomplished what Mr. Peetersdid. There were times in thefugue where slight hesitationscould be detected while in some ofthe other works Mr. Peeters al¬most caused complete boredom. Itcan be said, however, that therecitalist performed the quaintpastorale-like Aria of Loeilletwith much charm and grace.As a composer Mr. Peeters faredleast well of all. His RhapsodieFlamande is a big, pompous piece ofmusic, more noisy than it is beau¬tiful. While Mr. Peeters providedhimself with ample opportunity Inthis composition for technicalshow, little musical significancepervaded the massive chromaticclimaxes and anti-climaxes. Al¬though his Aria, Op. 51, is morequiet, there is scarcely more musi¬cal value to be found within itspages. In the performance of bothof these, the composer played withbrilliance, and with the consumateauthority to be expected of him.ClassifiedLOST—Reynolds aluminum ball-bear¬ing pen.

Veterans returning to schools, most of whom hare experienced the latestmstructional ideas used in the armed forces, lead the osstcry for reform. DissenterMILL HATHEWAY, who was a student at Yale before entering this unirersity after hisyeiease from the army, was asked to give hit opinion of the Chicago ryttem.The philosophers of the Chicagosystem maintain that the only com¬mon ground uix)n which jrfiilo-i(H)hy and science can meet is onein which the methods of the twofields of knowledge are compared.Thus the methods of science arestressed.^The Humanities Department, forexample, is organized to teachways of reading, writing and in¬terpretation. A hundred bookshave been recognized as “great”and arQ. chosen for study, but thesubject matter is considered rela¬tively unimportant.I cannot therefore follow Mil-ton Mayer’s argument in favor ofteaching the “great books” inwhich he states, “If good books areunintelligible to the yoimg, badbooks must be more imintelligible,and the Chicago Tribune must bewholly unintelligible.”Disregarding the arguments con¬cerning the desirability of anintegrated general education, Ishould like to comment on the sortof thing the Chicago system hasproduced.• Because the whole of knowledgehas to be covered in less than fouryears, there is a time limitationset on the study of particular sub¬jects. Aristotle’s Ethics are read insomething less than two weeks.One lecture is devoted to explain¬ing his philosophy and background.College Method ConfusingVery little of Aristotle, or Ethics,or methods of philosophy, or evenmethods of reading philosophy,can be gained in that way. Sucha method of presentation can beonly confusing in the highest de¬gree, and furthermore, little morethan a complete waste of time andmoney for the student.Hamlet was covered in threeone-hour sessions in my class. Thewhole field of nuclear physics wascovered in a comparable time inthe course on the Physical Sci-«ices. Questions were asked whichpeople studying under Dr. Fermiwere unable to answer, althoughthe instructors in the physicalscience course knew the answers.Make Slipshod ScholarsAnother result of the collegeprogram, which has been widelycriticized by divisional instructors,is that its products tend to be slip¬shod scholars. Concentration ondetails, accuracy of statement, arerendered next to impossible by thescope of a program which intendsto present the whole of the bodyof knowledge accumulated in thecourse of history in a course of lessthan four years.In recognition of this impossibil¬ity, the examinations given in theCollege are multiple choice affairs,and grading is done on a “curve.”No requirement is made that thestudent have mastery over his sub¬ject. He must know it better thanthe person next to him to pass.This sort of thing is hardly an in¬centive to accuracy.Instructors Vague, IndecisiveBecause of the nature of theChicago system, instructors tend tobe vague and indecisive in class.After all, what can one say aboutAristotle if one is limited to onehour? Often a lecture degeneratesinto this sort of thing: “I can’tpossibly cover the subject in thetime allowed. Therefore I won’teven try.”This sort of attitude is hardlystimulating to the student, and de¬spair seems to be infectious. *Tdon’t see what he is driving at” isa common comment. “What dothey expect of me?” Or, “I haveto read the whole of Tom Jonesthis week. What am I supposed tolearn?”System At FaultSince the instructors rarely knowany more than the students aboutwhat supposed to he learned.

The best place to start regis¬tering voters, she feels, is righthere on campus where a large,transient, veteran population hasrecttitly arrived.Speaking unofficially, Mrs.Stubbs, who formerly served aspresident of the Hyde Park chapterof the League, painted a bright,imposing picture of its activities,indicating that it’s a far cry fromthe Helen Hokinson version yousee weekly in The New Yorker.The League, a completely non¬partisan organization, works na¬tionally and locally for improve¬ments in political administration,public education, child welfare,economic welfare, and even dealswith foreign policy.In the 4th and 5th Wards, theHyde Park branch now has some500 members, including a few ofpre-voting age, and is busily vyingwith the Winnetka branch for the“biggest and most active” status inthis state. Largely composed ofwives of business and professionalmen, it is, Mrs. Stubbs feels, quiterepresentative of the neighborhood.She feels sure that the League willwelcome student members, espe¬cially those of voting age, either asadditions to the Hyde Park chap¬ter or as a new University-widechapter.“We have our fingers in a lot ofpies,” Mrs. Stubbs said, “And we know well and like all those whohold public office. We’re espe¬cially active in local politics; ourm^bers serve on election boardswatch the polls and check votesfor fraud.” Moreover, the League,which makes a definite point oftaking prospective. new votersdown to City Hall in person to seethat they don’t fail to register, iseager to help register students’asthey become eligible to vote.Aside from the obvious politicaladvantages of working with theLeague, women students w^ould, asmembers, have an opportunitji tomeet people in the neighborhood.Although there was at one time aseparate University group in theLeague, never before were condi¬tions so ripe for formation of avigorous political movement bywomen students and wives of vet¬erans.Mrs. Stubbs, whose husband Iswith the Illinois Bell TelephoneCompany, has lived in this localityfor over 50 years and in her pres¬ent home (5554 Woodlawn Ave¬nue) for 30. Her family alwaystook a lively interest in politicsand she remembers going to polit¬ical rallies with her father (whostill practices law at the age of 96)in the days of Carter Harrison’sreign. A pro-Roosevelt Democrat,she has occasionally voted Repub¬lican and now seems to lean to¬ward Harold Stassen as a likelypresidential candidate.Though she is no longer an offi¬cer of the League of Women Vot¬ers, Mrs. Stubbs agreed to helpform a student chapter, if enoughpeople are interested, or to wel¬come new members into the HydePark League.

Nevertheless, it’sstill a true statement as applied tothe 1946 version of the Chicago,baseball team.This column had hoped—nay,bad praycd—that this year mightsee the Maroons upset one or twoor even more of their Big Ten foes.With but two Conference games—both against strong Minnesota—left on the schedule, the possibilityof a Chicago victory doesn’t loomtoo large.The failure of a couple of formerletter-winners to come out for theteam hurt, but in general the Ma-,roons lost ball games largely be¬cause of an acute^case of light hit¬ting.It’s true that until recently theChicago players looked as if theywere out to set a new record forerrors committed, but there wasnone of that in the two gamesagainst Iowa last Saturday. On thecontrary, the team looked as goodafield as most of the outfits itfaced this season.It seems a crying shame that it’staken so long for the fellows tofind themselves. Though the Ma¬roons might not have won anymore games even with fewer er¬rors, they would certainly not havegone down to defeat by such lop¬sided scores as 19-1 and 15-0. Thecynics might have had to lookelsewhere to find the butt of theirill-conceived Jokes.At any rate Chicago fans can goout to the Minnesota ball gamesnext week at Washington Parkconfident that what they’ll see willbe a ball game and not a tragedyof errors.

A perfect sacrifice buntby Ray Freeark advanced him tosecond where he remained whileJimmy Costakis whiffed.
