Portions at the twocampus cafeterias have not beendiminished, she added.Large-scale Increases in whole-•ale rates since the expiration ofthe OPA have been registered, andMiss Pope cited numerous casesIn point. As of Tuesday morningwholesalers had jacked up roastbeef 82 per cent, roast pork 64per cent, and roast lamb 50 percent, over former OPA ceilings.Thus the cafeterias have ab¬sorbed the lion’s share of increasedcosts. With 82 pdr cent additionalcost on beef, for example, Com¬mons and Ida prices on meat roasthave been pushed from 30 cents to35, so that only IG’li of the addi¬tional tariff has been passed on tothe consumer.Consumer rates for other fPods—fruits and vegetables and pas¬tries—have so far been heldfixed. “We decided to hold theline on vegetables,” Howard B.Matthews, Assistant Business Man¬ager of the University, said. “But we don’t know how long we canhold the line on meats.

In this coming years’s schedule, everyfraternity will help sponsor one threevway dance as well as anindividual open party.According to Ira Corn, committee chairman, the open partieswill become campus wide affairs, should proposals to equipBartlett Gym fcr dances materialize.Plans for the I-F Ball are now being developed. Tentativearrangements put the affair in the Drake Hotel, but shouldfacilities for hanging Bartlett with “teaser-curtains” be availableby that time, it will be switched to the gym. Attempts arebeing made to secure a big-name band.Every dance on the I-F schedule, except the Ball, wul beheld on Friday, This means that there will be no conflict withthe University sponsored “C” Dances, which are all Saturdayaffairs. Any private parties fraternities wish Jo have may be heldon those Saturdays not interfering with the “C” Dances.“With such careful planning, the coming year should see oneof the most successful social seasons in the University’s history,”the members of the I-F social committee told the MAROON.They include Ralph Beaman, Phi Psi; Marvin Bailin, ZBT; andIra Corn, Sigma Chi, chairman.I-F SOCIAL SCHEDULE FOR 1946-47Fall Quarter Type Function Given ByFri.

The Conference, scheduled forAugust 17th to August 31st, wasplanned during a meeting inPrague last November of 500 stu¬dents representing 51 nations.Austin, chairman of the cam¬pus chapter of the American Vet¬erans Committee and former com¬bat infantryman in Italy, waselected a member of the Amer¬ican delegation by a campus-widevote last May. Part of his ex¬penses have been contributed byInter-Org. from the proceeds ofa Tag Day held at the time ofthe voting;-an equal portion wascontributed by the University, andit is hoped that all or most ofthe remainder will be raised at aC-Dance on August 17 to be spon¬sored by Inter-Fraternity Council.Three TasksThe two-week conference willbe concerned with three primarytasks: the consideration of re-sponsiblities of student youth inthe post-war world, the creationof a new world organization ofstudents to be known as the In¬ternational Union of Students, andthe organization and coordinationof student activities on an inter¬national scale.Plans for the present meetingwere made by an InternationalPreparatory Committee, which in-’t?!ud^ ait American delegate, setup at the Prague Conference last November. The activity in thiscountry has been handled by theAmerican Preparatory Commit¬tee, with headquarters, in NewYork City.Chicago was picked as one often U.S. unversities to send adelegate. The remaining 15 mem¬bers of the delegation representnine national 'youth groups, fourbeing sent by both the NationalCatholic Youth Council and theNational Intercollegiate ChristianCouncil. The latter sent two eachfrom the YMCA and the YWCA.College Students ‘Liberal’“The university and college rep¬resentatives as a whole are themost democratic and liberal ofthe delegates,” Austin said in arfport this week to I-O Council.“There is a strong Negro repre¬sentation, three Negroes on thedelegation. . . . Chosen in part atleast by democratic elections, theyseem to indicate that the studentbody as a whole is equally pro¬gressive and forward - looking.This augurs well for a future na¬tional students’ conference.”The program adopted by theAmerican delegation meeting inNew York from July 9 to 15 con¬sists of two sections, one con¬cerned with questions of generalpolitical interest, and the other(Continued on Page 2)Inter-Organizational Okays CommitteeFor Study of Student GovernmentBy SID LEZAKInter-Organizational Council ina heated session Monday took upthe questions of student govern¬ment, the student activities ticket.University Choirto Present ConcertThe 6o-member University ofChicago Choir will give a concertat 8 p.m. in Rockefeller MemorialChapel on Sunday evening, August18.

Club, composed ofstudents in the School of SocialService Administration, recentlyheld its semi-annual elections.Maurice Hahamovitch was chosenpresident, Virginia Joystad, vice-preseident, and Doris Dean, sec¬retary-treasurer.Under these new officers anambitious program has beenplanned for the Summer andAutumn quarters. It should be ofparticular interest to those stu¬dents in the University who areinterested in social problems.One of the primary objects ofthe club during the next two quar¬ters is to increase the degree ofparticipation of the members inthe meetings of the club. In orderto do this a program of workshopshas been organized. At presentthere are two: one on labor prob¬ lems, the other on the techniquesof social action. The workshopsare planned by groups of studentsin the club who are interested indoing research on a common prob¬lem. After a topic has been choseneach -member will be encouragedto do as much individual study aspossible. On a chosen date theworkshop will meet, and each willpresent his findings. In the pastthese final meetings have been re¬stricted to include only membersof the particular workshop. In thefuture, however, they will prob¬ably be open to anyone on cam¬pus.Stress Co-operationThe second objective is a closerintegration of the club with otherstudent organizations having pro¬grams designed to promote socialwelfare. The officers feel thatsuch issues as the continuation of O.P.A. and the passage of theMurray-Wagner-Dingell Bill canmore successfully be acted uponby an organized group of Univer¬sity clubs than by each group in¬dividually. In accordance with thisobjective, the club is supportingthe efforts of the Inter-Organiza¬tional Council is setting up a stu¬dent government, in addition tomaking more direct attempts tobring social-minded clubs intocloser cooperation with one an¬other.The club also maintains an ac¬tive social schedule which is de¬signed to promote relationshipsamong the students and betweenthe student body and the faculty.Heading the club’s committeeare Milton Hyman, David Roth,Elizabeth Nicol, Mignon Sauber,and Marvin Siegel.

The Chicago Maroon.Help WantedWhat the University of Chicago needs is an enterprisingyoung student who is willing to devote a little time to the for¬mation of a Political Union of campus activites similar to thatwhich existed here before the war.Until such an organization is established, I-O Council willcontinue to be ham-strung in its attempts to unify the studentbody through the promotion of activities by remaining a battle¬ground between those who are aware of I-O’s reason for exist¬ence, and those who apparently are not.Inter-Org was established here last winter in an effort toinvigorate school spirit. It received immediate support as alogical instrument for tying together a school community whichlacks the integrating influences to be found in most otherschools. It was looked upon as the answer to the cry of manystudents who expressed a bit of the ‘lost* feeling of the boys onBataan who complained of “No Mama, no Papa, no Uncle Sam.”Inter-Org is not the place to argue the merits or demeritsof Republican or Democrat. It should not concern itself withoff-campus political activities. Too much remains to be doneby the student body, acting as students; for students, chiefamong which at this time concern such things as student gov¬ernment, promotion of an activities ticket, and the improvementof social and recreational opportunities generally.Until a Political Union is formed where off-campus activi¬ties can be discussed without danger of tossing a monkeywrench into the machinery, member organizations should becareful to select delegates who will not gum up the works bythe introduction of political issues.To The EditorRoplies to MondolsonLast week Lloyd Mendelson,president of the U of C AYD,wrote that the position of theadvocates of World Federationwas a dangerous one because itdiverted attention from urgentday-to-day issues. If he will lookmore closely at what those work¬ing for world government are do¬ing, he will find that they areactually directing their attentionto those day-to-day issues in anattempt to understand them andtake part in them. For without aknowledge of -world conditionsand participation in them we can¬not hope to bring about worldgovernment. Washington, Hamil¬ton and other “Federalists” oftheir day were keenly aware ofwhat was happening in the coun¬try and active in its affairs. To¬day advocates of world govern¬ment will no more stand on thesidelines than the Federalists didthen.A few examples of the activi¬ties of the campus chapter of Stu¬dent Federalists illustrate thepoint. Last week they set upbooths on campus and sent out aconsiderable number of telegramsto House-Senate conference mem¬bers urging elimination of Houseamendments to the McMahon bill. The week before, their meetingcentered around a discussion ofthe Russian and U. S. proposalsfor international control of atomicenergy, a burning issue in theworld today. Their next meetingdeals with Russia and will un¬doubtedly bring up the questionof better relations with her. SF’salso keep in contact and cooperatewith numerous organizations notdevoted to world government.Advocates of world governmentwork strongly toward making theUnited Nations more effective.However, they are not blinded tothe - UNO’s basic weakness—itsinability to control the irrespon¬sibility of nationalism (and it doesnot appear today that nations areany less irresponsible than theyhave always been). The UNOmust be strengthened to diminishthat irresponsibility and finallyemerge as world federal govern¬ment to destroy it completely.JAMES R.

Lifelines Bill RobertsCollege LibraryNote BookNew Books AddodAmong other new books in the College Library we noteCarlos Romulo’s I SEE THE PHILIPPINES RISE—a companionpiece to I SAW THE FALL OF THE PHILIPPINES, and a veryspecial book edited by Christopher Isherwood. It is entitledVEDANTA FOR THE WESTERN WORLD and presents thephilosophy of the ^Vedas. Aldous Huxley, John Va Druten,and leading Indian swami have contributed to the volume.Now that the British labor party has embarked on a programof socialization, a lot of people will want to know the backgroundof the movement. Margaret Cole has written BEATRICE WEBB,a book worth examining because it gives the genesis of a suc¬cessful social movement. GERMANY IN DEFEAT by PercyKnaqth gives ihe genesis of an unsuccessful movement. Theauthor describes Berchtesgaden and Buchenwald in their hal¬cyon days, and Berlin in May, 1945, when the Soviet soldierswere sightseeing among the ruins. His descriptions of what thepeople thought and felt will be especially interesting to thosewho were in Germany during the late unpleasantness.There have been two recent descriptions of our own country:one fiction, the other non-fiction, the one concerned with theSouth and the other with the Midwest. Both are worth looking at.The Southern story is DELTA WEDDING by Eudora Welty, anaccount of the Fairchilds of Shellmound, an old family of theDeep South. After five years as Director of the Office of BritishInformation in Chicago, Graham Hutton wrote his impressionsof the region in MIDWEST AT NOON.What the English think about us has been a perennial topicfor books. This is the latest and, for Chicagoans, one of the mostinteresting of the criticisms.Thursday—August 8is the dateCorner of 57th & Harperis the placeopening of the NeivShramm Set Back inReynolds BilliardsThe Reynolds Club billiardtournament moved into the thirdround this week with only sevenmatches left to play before thewinners are announced.

To think about “worldstates or something of that sort”is, for Mr. Riley, an act of conceitfor which we “should hang ourheads in shame.”This, I submit, is an irrelevantstring of propositions. The rele¬vant problem in any human situa¬tion is not whether some “Powerwhich is responsible for the cre¬ation and operation of the Uni¬verse” is or is not concerned withour welfare, but solely whetherwe are able to do anything aboutit. And so until Mr. Riley candemonstrate to us not that hisPower is unconcerned with ouractions, but that we, too, ought tobe unconcerned with them, wemay continue to indulge in theconceit of caring for ourselves asbe.st we can.But not only is the ethics ofMr. Riley false, it is quite dan¬gerous as well. For, if indeed w^ewere to adopt the attitude of hisPower and thereby lose all con¬cern for our own problems (and1 do not suggest that this is likely),then we might fall into that moralcynicism which has characterizedall waning people.s, an attitudewhich tolerates vices because, inMr. Riley’s phrase, “they don’treally matter,” and by that toler¬ance encourage them to grow.WILLIAM A. EARLE,Graduate Student in Philosophy. Job of Social TeacherStated by HoselitzMaking all students “miniaturesocial scientists” is the task of thesocial science teacher, Bert F.Hoselitz, instructor in economicsin the College, declared here lastFriday.Speaking before the sixth an¬nual conference for teachers ofsocial sciences, Hoselitz stated thatit is not ’ necessary that all stu-dehts become original thinkers,but they must be able to discoverrelationships for themselves whichwere unknown to them before.“The student must learn whatmethods the social scientists usein order to establish relationshipsbetween events, and instructorsmust choose materials to exhibitthe particular techniques em¬ployed by social scientists in dis¬covering such relationships.“It is less important,” Hoselitzstated, “what precise subject mat¬ter is being taught and more-im¬portant that the student becomeaware that social science classesare handing him a tool with whichto attack the raw data of the so¬cial world—the facts of social lifewherever he can find them.Saeber, Not SoolerJust for the record (see MaroonJuly 26, p. 2), my name is Seeber,not Seeler, and I have no connec¬tion with the-Department of His¬tory.This is merely an observation,not a rebuke.

StudentPublishes Better Land**By BARBARA KOHN“Our society has no need forand makes no use of the educatedman. He is a luxury. He is notproductive according to the fron¬tier values to which we still ad¬here” says Laban C. Smith, a post¬graduate student here in the De¬partment of English, whose firstbook, “No Better Land,” was pub¬lished this June by MacMillan.Reared on a farm in Wisconsin,his first novel, termed by him a“character novel,” deals with lifeon a Wisconsin farm. Mr. Smithleft the farm when 12 years oldand in 1932 received his Master’sdegree in English at the Univer¬sity of Wisconsin with Phi BetaKappa and Oxford honors.Before entering the Navy in1943, where he was in charge ofthe Educational Training Unit atthe Naval Air Training station atCorpus Christi, Mr. Smith taughthigh school at Sturgeon Bay, Wis¬consin. He was in charge of theEducation and Psychology De¬partments at Stout Institute, Wis¬consin State Teachers College, andwas head of the English and For¬eign Language Departments atAlabama Polytechnical Institute,Auburn, Alabama. He received aleave of absence from the Ala¬bama Polytechnical Institute in1939 to work for one year withthe Commission on Teachers’ Edu¬cation of the American Council onEducation as a Fellow in Evalua¬tion, where he carried on researchin aptitude testing and helped per¬fect some of the aptitude testsused now by many universitiesand colleges to determine scholas¬tic aptitude. He returned to theAlabama Polytechnical Institutein 1940 in his former capacity andleft there in 1943 to enter theNavy.While lounging in a comfortablechair in his home on InglesideAve., Mr. Smith, tall, blond andyouthful, explained to his inter¬viewer his stand on many sub¬jects while his children Karma,five, and Hartman, two, were run¬ning about. Asked when he wrote“No Better Land” he explainedthat it was written between 1939and 1943 while he was at the Ala¬bama Polytechnical Institute. Healso told this reporter that he hascompleted another novel, dealingwith marriage problems.Asked about his stand on WorldGovernment, the constitution forwhich some eminent professors ofthis university are in the processof drafting, he said: “Unfortu¬nately people do not know whatis good for them.
