Results of Thursday’s and Friday’s matcheswere not known when the MAROON went to press.Coach Wally Hebert’s charges, victorious in all but one dualmatch this season, are given anoutside chance of bidding farewellto the other nine schools by walk-iitg off with the Conference title.Must Outscore IlliniTo do this they must outscorethe University of Illinois, which isundefeated so far this season, aswell as powerful Ohio State andNorthwestern. The Championshipwould be the Maroon’s sixth since1933 when the official tourney wasorganized.Chicago entered the meet rely¬ing on the same line-up that hascarried it thru its thus-far success¬ful season—Earl Theimer, number1; Harry Tully, number 2; WallyMichael, number 3; Robert Tully,number 4; Howard Husum, num¬ber 5; Richard Fine, number 6.In the doubles Theimer andMichael combine in the top spotwhile the two Tully brothers playin the number two position. PaulJernberg and Husum hold downthe third division.With Illinois as the top-heavyfavorite, Chicago men were defi¬nite under-dogs in all the divi¬sions. Rated as most likely tosucceed were the lower rankingMaroons.Jake Favored to WinFavored player in the ijumberone division was Northwestern’sBobby Jake despite his lone defeatat the hands of Roger Downs ofIllinois. Downs had previouslylost twice—first to Ohio’s ArisFranklin and then to Chicago’sEarl Theimer.The combination of Jake andLarry Daly was also one of thefavorites in the top doubles slot.Chicago’s withdrawal from theBig Ten should occasion a loudsigh of relief from the other Con¬ference coaches who have 'vatchedthe Maroons dominate te lis sincethe earliest days.Even with Chicago gone, names like George Lott, Norm Bickle,Max Davidson, the Shostrombrothers, the Murphy twins, andCal Sawyier will' always be re¬membered wherever tennis fansget together.UC Track TeamIn Big 10 MeetThe University of Chicago trackteam also ends its competition inthe Big Ten this week-end withthe Conference Meet down atChampaign.The cinder-men would conaderit a successful conclusion if theycould score just one point.Though the Maroons have wonseveral dual meets, all have beenagainst non-Conference foes.Coach Ned Merriam took alongonly six men but several of themwill compete in more than oneevent. John Adams and WilliamMayer-Oaks will run the mile andtwo mile, with John Bokman andWalter Beatty in the 220, 440,and 880. Beatty will also partici¬pate in the broad jump event, anda mile-relay team composed ofJung, Cooper, Bokman, and Beattyis entered.Illinois was expected to walk offwith its second consecutive titlewith Michigan and Ohio Statebattling all the way down the linefor second place.Ironically enough, the last re¬maining Big Ten record set by aU. of C. man seems destined to fallat last this season—the Maroon’slast. It is the 440 mark set byBinga Dismond in 1916. He nego¬tiated the distance in :47.4, butHerb McKinley of the Illini hasbeen under 47 seconds severaltimes this year. 1-0 CouncilIn StormyNight MeetIn a stormy session Mondaynight in Ida Noyes the Inter-Or¬ganizational Council steam-roll¬ered through a motion to acceptall petitions nominating candidatesfor the Prague conference receivedby THE CHICAGO MAROONuntil noon, Saturday, May 25.. In¬cluded, however, was a sectionlimiting candidacy to divisionalstudents. The night session wasoccasioned by threatened with¬drawal of fraternity representa¬tives at an afternoon session heldthe same day.Led by Lloyd Mendelssohn,AYD representative, some ele¬ments in the I-O Council had at¬tempted to block further nomina¬tions and to confine the ballot tothe three candidates previouslyannounced. Fraternity representa¬tives then moved for nullificationof the proceedings.THE CHICAGO MAROON, act¬ing at the request' of ChairmanJane Colley of the I-O Council, hadannounced in its last issue thatthe nominations would be re¬opened. Under terms of this an-notihcement the MAROON ac¬cepted petitions nominating Abra¬ham Krash, Herbert Baer, andMarshal Wylie. Krash and Baerwere subsequently disqualified.Voters going to the polls onWednesday had their choice offour candidates: Isabelle Kohn,Russell Austin, Henry Goodman,and Marshall Wiley. Kohn wasbacked by Tau Sigma Upsilon,Austin was supported by AVC andADC. Backing Goodman was theStudent Federalist Organization.Wiley had the support of numerousfraternal and social groups.Alumni TeaSponsored byArt QroupUniversity of Chicago alumniwill, be special guests at Renais¬sance Society teas Thursday andFriday afternoons, June 6 and 7,at an exhibition of prints andpaintings by Paul Klee in theGoodsp>eed Hall galleries (59thstreet and Ellis avenue).

The -prints aremainly from the permanent col¬lection of the Museum of ModernArt in New York, and the paint¬ings will come from private col-*lections in Chicago.Klee, though born in Switzer¬land, spent the greater part of hislife in Germany where he was amember of the faculty of Bauhausuntil Nazi interference caused thedisbanding of the school in 1933.He returned to Switzerland wherebe died in 1940.Extremely original, Klee is acreative force that is vitally im¬portant. His work has little ofdirect representation; it is ratherthe result of a fine intellect work¬ing with the discipline of abstractformalization and a fanciful imagi¬nation, creating a strange fantasticworld of people, creatures, and ob¬jects.The formal opening of the showwill take place June 5 from 8 until10 o’clock. On the afternoons ofJune 6 and 7 from 3 until 5 o’clock,tea will be served and the gallerywill be open to returning alumniof the University.

In laziness, however, the record is not good. Casualquestioning of your fellow-students will quickly show you, how littlethey know of the searing political issues of our time. Everyone hasan opinion on the atom bomb, on OPA, on the British loan. But howmany take any interest whatsoever in significant state and local issues?Fiorello LaGuardia in his column warned, “Don’t become indignantnow and then because politicians run your State and your very lives.It is the fault of the people if politicians, lobbyists, fixers, and specialinterests get the legislation, and the people, the short end of it.” Ifyou don’t like Mayor Kelly’s machine or Governor Green’s machine,it’s up to you—as citizens of Chicago and of Illinois—to eliminate themand their kind.The issues are live and pressing. It is reported the State Republicanorganization will campaign this fall on a “kill-the-OPA” platform. Ifyou want OPA continued—or, if you want to see it liquidated—youought to know the full implications of voting for a Republican or aDemocratic candidate from this area.You know all about the corruption that runs rampant both in CityHall and in the State Capitol. If you want to eradicate that corruption,you can help do it by becoming a voter and a full-time citizen. Yousay, my home is in Pennsylvania or California or Texas; I can’t votein Illinois. Perhaps not; but do you know what the voting require¬ments are in this State? In order to vote here, you must be a residentin the State for one year, in Cook County for 90 days, and in anyprecinct for 30 days. Of course you have to be 21 or over. To registeryou need only go down to Room 308, City Hall, any weekday. If, how¬ever, you wait until fall to register, you may have to stand in line,wrestle with red tape and run the risk of losing your vote throughtardiness or administrative bungling.If you don’t want to vote in Illinois, register in your home state,in your own community. You can. in all probability, cast an absenteeballot.

Note: The following article ap¬peared in “The Harvard Crimson” ofThursday, May 16.)Youth groups and their confer¬ences, run by professional “youngpeople,” and often taken over byextremist groups, are constantthorns in the side of any school orcollege administration. To thosewho have watched organizationafter organization mushroom sud¬denly in the fertile soil of good in¬tentions and able publicity only todie or become discredited almostimmediately, the proposal of an In¬ternational Student Conference inPrague this summer can bring nostarry-eyed enthusiasm. Clearlyit will be impossible to divorcepolitical differences from anyphase of the convention; for ex¬ample, the establishment of a per¬manent world youth organization,corqplete with written constitution,should provide some fiery debatesbetween the Russians and theBritish. The conflicts which mustsurely break out among theseyoung people can be but a reflec¬tion of similar basic differencesbetween their elders, though theremay indeed be more areas inwhich they can reach agreement.The government-sponsored delega¬tions that will represent suchstates as Czechoslovakia and Yugo¬slavia, the hold of the Communistideology on many young Europeanminds today, and the active par¬ticipation of groups like the AYD,create a very real danger that awell-organized minority can seizecontrol of the ISC. If this shouldbe the outcome of the sincere andhonest preliminary work andplanning by a broadly representa¬tive group of organizations that ispresently laying the foundationsfor the meeting, it should be re¬gretted Jout not unexpected.Nevertheless, Harvard under¬graduates must send a representa¬tive to the meeting. If it shouldprove to be a failure, the Collegeand the other New England in¬stitutions which it is to representought to have an observer on thespot who will be able to reportback to them the fact of and rea¬sons for its collapse or dominationby one element. If, on the otherhand, it is a success, and a work¬ing international association isset up. Harvard should have a partin the discussion and actual laborinvolved in the formation of aconstitution; ideas representativeof those predominant h?re shouldbe presented. If, and this seems most likely, the Conference startsoff on the fence, teetering firstone way and then another, theweight of Harvard students shouldbe utilized to urge the delibera¬tion and actions into channelswhich lead ultimately to a usefuland permanent group.The delegate who will be sentfrom this institution must be onewho can see the inherent possibili¬ties in such an undertaking, butis still wise enough to retain thesomewhat dispassionate view ofan observer. He must realize that,in spite of the unusually widevariety of groups backing this par¬ticular convention, and the spe¬cific nature of the topics underInvestigation, clever managementand adroit manipulation can alltoo easily capture the affair forone faction or another. It is in ahopeful if not glowing attitudethat the College must accept theConference. But caution, which isvital, need not develop into aspirit of cynicism and fear thatwould prevent acceptance of theproposal, for whatever the result,it is incumbent on Harvard stu¬dents to be represented in the dis¬cussions.ARTHUR PARSONSU. of C.

Cer¬tainly his good works have broughthim deserved “kudos,” some ofwhich are enumerated in “Who’sWho.” Then, too, through LouisBerman, representative from theFifth Senatorial District in theState Assembly, Hodes has effect¬ed passage of a bill creating (inhis own words) “an official Com¬mission to Promote InterfaithGood Will and Harmony, of whichyour- Corporation Council has thehonor to be chairman.”Meanwhile, Senator Scott Lu¬cas, his close friend, has intro¬duced a joint resolution in theU.S. Senate; if passed, S.J.R. 7would establish a national com¬mission “to select a site and de¬ sign for a memorial to the con¬tributions of members of all re¬ligious faiths to American mili¬tary and naval history.” Hodesand the late Col. A. A. Spragueare listed as co-chairmen of theNational Inter-Faith MemorialCommittee, which hopes to seesuch a memorial erected in theDistrict of Columbia.Hodes’ antipathy to everythingRepublican pops up even in the160 pages of “Chicago’s LawYear, 1945” which he submitted tqMayor Kelly as the annual reportof the Law Department of theCity of Chic;^go. Even more clear¬ly, however, his attitude towardhis opponents is shown by hisstand on the veterans’ bonus issue,“Certainly I’m for it,” he said,“but let’s pay the bonus from thefunds the Republicans are hoard¬ing down at Bpringfield. There’sno need for additional taxes untilthese accumulated funds are ex¬hausted.” And that’s exactly whatthe Democrats are fighting for inthe State legislature now.Confident of School ProblemMr. Hodes, who took office asCorporation Counsel in 1935, theyoungest man ever to hold the job,feels that the knotty school prob¬lem will be solved. He believesthat when the committee of col¬lege presidents turns in its report,the Mayor will follow its recom¬mendations. No matter how Iphrased my questions about theschool situation, he parried themby stating that the Republicanshave no constructive program tooffer concerning the city’s schools.Then he’d hammer at the down-state control of Cook County whichleaves Chicago without home rule.Hence the city cannot, he says,“make its own determinations,’*handcuffed as it is by antiquatedconstitutional provisions whichwere put into effect in 1818. Thus,while he feels that redistricting ofthe city’s 50 wards is necessary,he also wants to see the state re¬districted—in a ' manner whichwill give Cook County, with 60%of the population, a proportionaterepresentation at Springfield.The committeeman claims thathe moved into,this ward from the7th, where he had once been aider-man, because of the housing short¬age; he needed a larger apartmentand wanted his children to attendKenwood school. Another versionof his arrival in the 5th Wardcomes from his opponents, whothink Mayor Kelly sent him herebecause political affairs (Demo¬cratic) were getting out of hand.In any event, Hodes is no strangerin these parts, having once matric¬ulated at the University beforegoing on to take his law degree (atthe age of 21) at Northwestern.Moreover, many of the men on hislegal staff are Chicago graduates,his nephew is in the College, an^he has “roots in the Universityin every direction.”From the Cradle tothe Grave—UC StyleNot only can you spend youfcarefree college days beneaththese great pillars of learning,but it is also possible to spend Bwhole life without leaving th«campus. Said life would begin aiBillings, and if the youngstershould be a President’s offsprini^could be taken home to 59th anaUniversity.
