AUGUST 16, 1946 ■^^31 " Pi^ 5 CENTSCity Attempts toEvict Howarth Co-op No Action on A VC Dorm.Protest; Strozier SendsLetters to ResidentsPictured abov«.is the co-op whero University students orethreotened with evictfon. (See story at left.)This City of Chicago is attempt¬ing to evict a group of Universityuludents from their home in How¬arth Co-operative at 4850 Green¬wood Avenue, the MAROONlearned yesterday. The city chargesthat the co-operative, which nowhouses about 30 men and womenin a large 16-room building, is aviolation of the zoning .ordinance.According to the city building de¬partment only blood relatives andthvr servants may live in thelarge mansions in the residentialdistrict north of 51st street.The co-operative, which wasfounded last March, is owned byits members who all contributedtoward the purchase of the build¬ing. They contend that they arenot a commercial rooming houseas the city charges, but are a non¬profit, democratically - controlledgroup. They say they were advisedby their attorney that they arenot violating any la\y. The ma¬jority of the members of the houseare students, and about half of thenirn in the house are veterans.In bringing suif against the co¬operative the city acted for theOakland-Kenwood Property Own¬ers’ Association, a group of realestate men and property owners.Soon after the co-operative wasfounded, the property owners’ as¬sociation repeatedly urged thecity to oust the co-operative. Thecity finally complied with thisrequest and sued Howarth House.Mr. Philip Toomin, 4816 Green¬wood Avenue, the president of theproperty owners’ association, alsocirculated a letter in the neigh¬borhood which, according to mem-AVC Co-opPlannedIn an attempt to do somethingabout the housing shortage in theUniversity area, AVC last weekset in motion a plan for the es¬tablishment of a Veteran’s Cooper¬ative for students in the Universi¬ty.Thomas Fineberg, chairman ofthe AVC sub-committee on theVet’s Co-op, explained the pos¬sibilities of the plan in a letter toall AVC members which was sentout this week.“First,” Fineberg explained, “asurvey has shown that severalhouses are available in the area.However, these houses must bepurchased, not rented. Financingof the plan cannot be accomplishedthrough the United Co-op Project,with which the AVC Co-op will beassociated, but must be done byAV’C members.”Various Plans SuggestedThe tentative plan includesthree possible methods. First,members of the co-op may be re¬quired to make a thirty dollardeposit upon joining the organi¬zation. This would be used to setup a “revolving fund” to provideworking capital, and would be re¬funded upon leaving the Co-op.A second plan under considerationis that of selling ten-dollar non¬interest bearing preferred certi¬ficates to both members and non¬members, these to be graduallyretired as capital is accumulated.Tlie third method would be toborrow the needed capital com-niercially.AVC hopes to work out the re¬volving fund and the certificateplans as extensively as possible,tt> avoid the added burden of in¬crest on the commercial loans. bers of the co-operative, containedunfortunate innuendoes and mis¬statements of fact. The letter alsorequested a contribution of atleast $25 from each propertyowner to hire a lawyer for theassociation, “to assist and speedup the prosecution of the case.”According to Waldo Rail, stu¬dent veteran and atomic scientistwho is president of the co-op, thehouse intends, if necessary, tofight their case through the high¬est courts. He emphasized thatthey did not move into the prop¬erty with any intention of be¬coming involved in a lawsuit, and(Continued on Page 4)Pre-Fabs forDudley Field“The ground was broken thisweek in Dudley Field for pre-fabaccomodations for 200 veteransand their families and barracks-type housing is being provided for100 single vets,” said HowardMatthews, business manager of theUniversity.Burton-Judson will be furn¬ished with double-decker beds inthe autumn quarter and will hold598 men as compared with the345 now living there.The pre-fabs have all been ap¬plied for and deposits have beenmade, but the barracks accomo¬dations will be handled throughthe general fall registration. Mr.Matthews expressed doubts as tothe time of completion of the pre¬fabs, but said that all effortswould be made to complete themearly in October, shortly after theOf>ening of the autumm quartei.'When asked about rents for thevarious university housing facil¬ities, Matthews said that the is¬sue was undecided as yet, but itis expected that they will be in thesame range as other universityhousing."C '-Book onActivity CardAnnouncement was made thisweek by Ira Corn, Student Man¬ager of the Activity Ticket As¬sociation, that the University “C”Book will be included in the seriesof activities to be offered with thepurchase of a ticket in the Au¬tumn Quarter.This handbook has in past yearscarried information of Universitytraditions, the administration andfaculty, student groups, fraterni¬ties, women’s clubs, songs, andsocial, lecture and religious cal¬endars, as well as other informa¬tion pertinent to a student. Thebook this year is headed by DietzSchulze, who indicated that it willresemble previous issues closely,although some changes would bemade. The “C” Book formerly soldfor fifty cents.Corn also revealed that Mr. Al¬bert F. Cotton, the UniversityBursar, has agreed to assist in thesale of tickets. They will be madeavailable to students at both theBursar’s Office in the Press Build¬ing, and at general registrationheadquarters in the fall.Negotiations are under way, ac¬cording to Corn, to include theUniversity Observer, a campus po¬litical opinion magazine, in theticket. He indicated that this mag¬azine is expected to begin pub¬lication in the Autumn Quarter.

Co-publishers Les Wal¬ler and Paul Bryder have an¬nounced that they expect to putout a 48-page issue in the Fallcomplete with news, features, art,and photography. The magazinewill appear monthly thereafter.The new “Pulse” will be to alarge extent modeled on the oldpublication with a change in edi¬torial policy and ideals.

Dean of stu¬dents Robert M. Strozier has sentletters to dormitory students ex¬plaining the University’s pres¬ent stand on the matter.Text of the letter, dated August14 from the Dean of Steuden’sOffice, follows:“The University deeply regretsthat a misunderstanding has aris¬en concerning the charges forroom and board which are beingmade for those students who re¬main after August 31, 1946, inorder to take comprehensives.“Although the terminal date ofthe Summer Quarter was an¬nounced in advance and chargesfor that period were specified atthat time, it is true that arrange¬ments for Comprehensive Exam¬inations were made at a later date.“The University does not wishthis situation to prevent any stu¬dent from taking his examina¬tions. Some students may havemade their budgets for the sum¬mer without anticipating the ad¬ditional charges. I shall be gladto talk to any person who feelshe will need financial assistancefor the period of his Comprehen¬sive examinations and shall at¬tempt to help solve such prob¬lems on an individual basis.”The letter was signed by DeanStrozier. The Dean’s office alsoexplained that it does not con¬sider the letter in any respect ananswer to the AVC protest whichwas published in last week’s MA¬ROON. The Board of Trusteesof the University, to whom theprotest was addressed, will notmeet until early September. Itis at that time that the protestwill be formally considered, pre-sumeably.Dick Pelz, acting chairman ofthe campus AVC chapter, an¬nounced that AVC intended tofollow through on the protest,but that no further action wasthought possible until a formalreply to the protest is receivedfrom the University’s Board ofTrustees.FinalC-DanceTomorrowTomorrow night from 9 ’til mid¬night, the Inter-Fraternity Coun¬cil is sponsoring the “MoonlightDance,” last big campus-widedance of the Summer Quarter.Nylons and white shirts will beraffled off and Mel Parker’s 12-piece orchestra will play fordancing in Ida Noyes Clubhouse.All proceeds from the dance willbe used to repay loans made bythe University to enable RussAustin to attend the InternationalStudents Congress in Prague.Austin was recently elected headof the American delegation beforehe sailed from New York.

For in¬stance, he has claimed that “Hen¬ry V” is for the psuedo-intellec-tuals and the arty. His newestcritical jingo is that Ben Hecht’smovie, “Specter of the Rose” isfor the balletomane and the cur¬iously morbid. It’s an old trick,if you don’t like something youcall the other fellow names.“Specter of the Rose,” currentlyshowing at the World Playhouse,is for those who like unusual mov¬ies; and since it is fritten, di¬rected, and produced by BenHecht, it is also for those who liketheir entertainment generouslysalted by Ben ‘Hecht.“Specter of the Rose” is aboutan impressario and a faded bal¬let teacher, Madame La Sylph,who decided to produce a balletstarring a dancer named Sanine.The hitch seems to be that Sanine,although a great dancer, is men¬tally ill, and has been in a stuporfor seven months. But one day heseems suddenly to have recoveredand he begins to dance again withHeidi, one of La Sylph’s pupils.The two get married, and have asuccessful tour until Sanine’s san¬ity gets the better of him. After aspectacular dance from the “Spec¬ ter of the Rose” he does away withhimself.Unfortunately the above soundslurid as well as morbid, but thisis most emphatically not the ef¬fect. Hecht’s people may not bepretty, but they are very, veryreal. They are artists who livein a world of their own, each withhis own kind of poetry. Theauthor has a peculiar type ofpoetic realism which at momentsmight be confused with Saroyan;but his characters never reach thedepth of sentimentality that Sa¬royan’s do. Hecht is in earnestabout his artists, but he makes youlaugh at them at just tlie rightmoment.“Specter of the Rose” is a movieabout a class of artists, and akind of life you seldom find por¬trayed.

Go see “^Specter of theRose” someday soon. I don’t thinkyou’ll be disappointed, but if youare, I’m willing to fight it out. International House seems tohave an atmosphere all its ownaround lunchtime. It’s both pro¬vocative and intriguing, and I al¬ways seem to find myself involvedin deep discussions concerning thefate of the world in which we arehanging our proverbial hats for soshort a stay, when I find myselfsitting down to a meal betweenqueues. A few lunches ago, Ifound myself across from a youngchap who hails from the depthsof India—to me a land of passion¬ate convictions growing from amixture of despair and ambition.The discussion began to veer to¬wards that noble specimen—Man!And away from British despotism,for which I was deeply grateful.My Indian speaks:“All men are inherently sel¬fish! If I asked you to dinner onyour way through my home state,knowing that it was highly prob¬able we would never meet again.I would only be satisfying my ego.The grand gesture! You have nomeaning to me as a person otherthan what I give you. And that,my friend, is directly related tomy selfish desires!”My dinner was ruined. Egoloomed large on the plate beforeme, and my digestive system re¬volted against the prospect. For,simple soul that I am, I believethat there is something good ineveryone. Are we back to thegood old days of Jeremy Benthamwhen they used to pull out theircalculus of pleasure and pains to figure out which decision wouldbenefit them the most? Sure, Mr.Ego has a claim staked out ineach one of us; but he doesn’t livethere all the time. Is it selfishnessthat drives us to help the starvingpopulations of Europe? Or giveMr. Bilbo a telegraphic kick inthe pants? Maybe feeding Europeinflates our ego, makes us feelbig; but somehow I think thereis more to it' than that. Our re¬action to the bigoted Bilbo alsofinds ego outside looking in. Bothpropositions, far apart in effect,share a common source. That isour inherent desire to idealize andbelieve in the concept of perfec¬tion. We cling firmly to the be¬lief that there should be enoughfor everybody, and that somedaythere will be. That is why peoplelike the Honorable Senator fromMississippi who stand in our wayof attaining such ideals find thatthey are out of tune with theirfellow human beings.The earliest known life insur¬ance policy was issued in 1583, ac¬cording to the Encyclopaedia Brit-annica. It followed strictly theform of marine insurance, whichhad been in common use since themiddle ages.

As symptoms ofthe psychoneurotic personality,he gives, chronic anxiety, hyper¬tension, excessive mental-emo¬tional conflict, hyper-sensitivity,nervous fatigue and a disparitybetween potential and actualachievements of the neurotic.How might a large number ofthe maladjustments of city life beavoided? We must cease to apply verbal statements of the past asapplying to the present, but ac¬cept change,” says Bonner. “Weneed a less competitive and morehumanistic society which providesan outlet for intellectual and emo¬tional expression for all people,”he further asserts.Hold Last IdaBadminton MeetThe last badminton party of thequarter will be held Monday night,August 19, from 7:30 to 10:00 p.m.in Ida Noyes gymnasium.

The Edwards Lithoprinted Facsimiles of docu¬ments of the American Revolution—the originals are in the ClementsLibrary of the University of Michigan—cover the revolutionaryperiod from Lexington and Concord to the surrender of Cornwallis.Because the typewriter had not yet brought a deluge of verbiage,the letters and documents are all brief and to the point. Personalitiesstand out in high relief—^Washington’s letter to LaFayette, begin¬ning ^^my dear Marq,” Rachel Revere’s affectionate note of warningto her husband, Major Andre’s pathetic letter written on the eveof his execution, Mrs. Benedict Arhold’s tardy discovery that treasondid not pay her, even if her husband did escape to England, SirHenry Clinton’s rather naive attempt to conceal a message withina message, Cornwallis’ stiff, formal request for surrender terms, andWashington's equally formal, hut far less unbending answer—andthe flavor of the revolutionary period becomes far more palatablethan academic historians have ever made it.What we now know as on-the-spot reporting, done in the dayswhen penmanship was an art and punctuation more than a series ofdashes, makes the birth of this nation as exciting as Forever Amber,in its way, that is.PART I—Lexington ond ConcordPART II—^Tho Trogody of tho Ploywright GenorolPART 111—20,000 Pounds for West Point!

Jessup, chief editorial !writer of Life magazine, declared jSunday on the University of Chi¬cago Round Table discussion.“We must keep this confer¬ence,” Jessup said, “in its proper iperspective. This is not the peaceconference, as the Versailles con¬ference was after World War I. iThis is simply another step, fol- jlowing the pattern of the previous |conferences among the great pow¬ers and the foreign ministers, inmaking the peace, but it is notthe step.“The same patterns of struggle,”he continued, “continue at thismeeting which have characterizedthe previous conferences. Theseare exemplified in the sharp clash¬es between Byrnes and Molotov.However, it seems to me thatByrnes is doing a good job inshowing that power politics isnot good or evil, but one of thefacts of life with which we haveto live. He is doing a good job.”Participating with Jessup in theRound Table discussion of “TheParis Peace Conference” were Pro¬fessor G. A. Borgese of the Hu¬manities Division of the Univer¬sity of Chicago, secretary of theCommittee to Frame a WorldConstitution, and author of Go¬liath: The March of "Fascism; andQuincy Wright, professor of inter¬national relations at the Universi¬ty of Chicago.Professor Borgese, who agreedwith Jessup in the importanceof the struggle between the twogreat powers and its danger toworld peace, argued that otherpowers must be strengthened inorder to end two-power—Anglo-American and Russian—domina¬tion. He expressed “hope” in thefact that the small nations arejoining in the discussion at thisconference.“The participation of thesesmall nations,’* he continued, “is agood beginning toward openingup the pressure of world publicopinion. It is also significant thateven the enemy nations are alsobeing heard and consulted at thisconference.“Secretary of State Byrnes,”Borgese added, “should be com¬mended for introducing the othernations and allowing their opin¬ions at this conference. Such abeginning. makes up for some ofour past mistakes and will leadtoward a rule of world opinion.“Of course,” he said, “in makingpeace treaties, a certain amountof injustice is probably inevit¬able in any situation as compli¬cated as that of Europe.

But theway toward world unity lies increating large, local entities andregional unity. Certainly a fed¬eration of Europe would lead to¬ward this future world unity.”Professor Wright argued thatworld unity may not be fosteredby the growth of regionalism. Ex¬perience at San Francisco, for ex¬ample, he said, seems to indicatethat it may be better to start atthe large level of world unityfirst.Professor Borgese argued thatbig-power unity should not bemaintained at the sacrifice ofprinciples. The composing ofprinciples, he said, is along theroad to war and not to peace.It is within this context, he said,that the peace of Europe must beconsidered. Italy, for example,feels that the proposed Italiantreaty breaks promises and moralobligations to her. Roumania, onthe other hand, he said, is “happy"over its peace settlement. We musttry to keep the peace treaties, heconcluded, from promoting sourc¬es of trouble in the future.ISBELL'SRESTAURANTthrt* locatioBS590 Divency Pkwy.940 Rush St.1435 Hyd* Park Bird.THE CHICAGO MAROON Friday, August 16, 1946OItjr ^litraQQ IRaroonf)ie Univendtj of Chicago Official Student NcwapaporACP All-American, 1945, 1946Published every Friday during the academic year by TH* CHICAGOMAROON, an independent student organization of the University of ChicagoMember Associated Collegiate Press and Intercollegiate “Pr«-^8.BOARD OF CONTROLRay Poplett, Editor-in-ChiefJames Barnett, Business ManagerHarlan Blake, Staff MemberTHE EXECUTIVE EDITORSManaging Editor Bill MontgomeryNews Editor ..Jules Strickland I Sports Editor .

The Chicago Maroon.A Case of Bad JudgementHowarth House, 4850 Greenwood, is a co-operative housingventure by some 30 University students, a number of themveterans. The building, located in an exclusive Kenwood dis¬trict of aging mansions, was bought last Spring and is ownedand maintained by its residents. For the 30 students who ownit, it means a place to live during the present acute housingshortage.Shortly after Howarth was founded the Oakland-KenwoodProperty Owners* Association, tagging the co-op a “roominghouse’* and a violation of City Zoning ordinances, prevailedupon the City to commence eviction proceedings. Zealouslythe association sent its members and friends appeals for finan¬cial aid and hired its own counsel “to assist in and speed up’*the prosecution.In a housing crisis such as now exists the motives* behindthis action are indeed diffcult to appreciate. A number of homesin the district stand empty, too large for families of moderatemeans to support and too old for the wealthy to desire. Yetthe Kenwood association invokes outmoded statutes in an at¬tempt to perpetuate an incongruous situation of empty housesand homeless students and vets. This, we submit, is the mostextreme kind of short-sighted selfishness. .The association complains about a threat to “property val¬ues”. Property values will indeed be due for a long decline if theold homes are left empty and permitted to decay rather thanprovide useful and needed housing.The jealous, narrow-minded view of the property owners*association is deplorable. A “dog-in-the-manger” type of reac¬tion springing from unbridled selfishness, it will solve no prob¬lems, but more likely than not create new ones. Quadrangle OpinionsTo the Editor:Your pointed editorial “HelpWanted” calls for some comment.Its essential thesis is that Inter-Org should be divorced from poli¬tical issues. It is true that Inter-Org is no place to “argue the mer¬its or demerits of Republican orDemocrat”; but it is equally ^ruethat since its beginning, Inter-Grghas been involved in political ac¬tivity both on and off the campus.Perhaps it has been forgotten thatInter-Org was formed at the sug¬gestion of a political club, to wit,AYD, on the occasion of the cele¬bration of International StudentsDay, an act certainly not devoidof political significance. Sending adelegate to the International Stu¬dents’ Conference in Prague, pre¬paring the election af that dele¬gate, passing on the qualificationsof candidates, were political de¬cisions; similarly, setting up rep¬resentative student government isa p>olitical matter.We believe that the function, ofInter-Org is to promote studentactivity, to provide for an organi¬zation through which studentscan express their needs, and tobe a positive step towards theformation of a really representa¬tive student government. We haveno faith in the old theory that acampus must be like a monasteryset apart by four walls from theday to day struggles of the people.Any organization representing allcampus groups cannot separate it¬self from political questions.LLOYD MENDELSONHANS FREISTADTfor the Executive Council,U. of C.

Club at Ida Noyes. Anunusually large crowd attendedthe meeting, which was the lastformal meeting of the SummerQuarter.The members of the round ta¬ble included: Mr. Fred Hoehler,Chairman of the Chicago Com¬munity Fund, and a former deputydirector of UNRA; Mr. EdwardKelly, representing Local No. 2of the United Public Workers ofAmerica, C.I.O.; Mrs. FlorenceHosch, Chairman of the ChicagoChapter of the American Asso¬ciation of Social Worker?; Mr.Joseph Moss, Director of the CookCounty Bureau of Public Welfare;Mr. Alvin Rose, Director of theChicago Welfare Dept., and Mrs.Ann Van Tyne, representing theUnited Office and ProfessionalWorkers of America, C.1,0. Mr.Wayne McMillan, Professor in theSchool of Social Service Adminis¬tration, served as moderator, -The questions considered by 'theround table were prepared by theWorkshop Committee on SocialWork and Labor headed by KurtReichert. This represented the firststep in the committee’s prepara¬tion for the full scale workshopin the Autumn Quarter. vThe discussion at first centeredaround the needs prompting so¬cial workers to join unions, andthe possibility of meeting theseneeds in other ways. Mr. Roseand Mr. Hoehler felt that othermeans could be found, whereasMr. Moss and Mr. McMillan de¬clared that their experience haddemonstrated that agency - spon- To the Editor:Now that we have been thor¬oughly sold on the advisabilityof reading the CHICAGO MA¬ROON, Ten Big Issues for 45Cents, via page 6 of same, sugges¬tions for other uses of that niceexpanse of white space seem to bein order. Isn’t your propagandamisdirected? Those who don’t readthe Ten Big Issues don’t see thead anyhow, and those who do readit are already reading it, and bythe time one gets to page six hehas already read it in the firstplace, or do I make myself clear?Why not introduce a little vari¬ety into page six? “Please read theCHICAGO MAROON!” Or, “TenBig Issues, Only the 9/20 Part ofa Dollar!” Or, “This is Page Sixof the CHICAGO MAROON, et¬cetera.” Or perhaps a clever, littleditty like: “You’ve got sixpunce;jolly, jolly sixpunce! If we hadyour sixpunce, we could pay theprinter 40 bucks more per weekand fill up this page!” No doubtsome of your readers can suggestother lyrics equally fetching.Or, what with the paper short¬age, why not just leave the pageblank for scratch paper, or otherpurposes? Another suggestion:The acme of journalism on thepart of some columnists seems tobe the printing of as many namesas possible per column inch; whynot have a lottery, the winnereach week to get his name all byitself on page 6 in big block caps?Then people like us who have towrite the editor to get our namesin print could really get a bang.BILL PEMBERTONThe editors of the MAROONare in complete agreement withMr. Pemberton. They are probablymore tired of page six than he is.It was necessitated, however, bymounting costs which forbadeeven a change of copy during aperiod of bargaining with theprinter.But that’s all changed now. Stu¬dents returning for the Fall quar¬ter will see the best MAROONyet—they won’t want to stop ata measly ten issues. And they’llALL be big.—EDITOR To the Editor:In reply to James Compton’s let¬ter in defense of the world gov¬ernment movement, I would liketo make the following remarks. *Compton’s thesis is that theU.N. is unable to control con¬flicting interests of national states.Though Compton does not mentionit, leading advocates of worldfederalism would eliminate thebig power veto as a transitionstep from U.N. to World Govern¬ment.I submit that the necessary andsufficient condition for worldpeace is the collaboration and 'friendship of the United Statesand the Soviet Union. The practircal instrument of world organiza¬tion agreed upon by these power.safter months of hard work^ltDunbarton Oaks and San Francis'!?.CO is the United Nations, with theunanimity principle as guaranteed,by the veto power actually ' the'key technique for agreement’4n‘'future issues. The U.N. alone is'not able to guarantee peace,, for\realistically, peace dependsthe policies of the individual coun-'-'tries, especially U.S. and USSR.;But the veto power forcesto treat the other as an equalt"%Thus the U.N. is that level of or-ganization that is practical andacceptable today. Those who seekfworld peace today should bewarefof all schemes to subvert or ^around the U.N., whether they’’come from FederalistByrnes and Truman.Compton writes of “irresponsi^ble nationalism” but goes noor from%forms may be obtained from theDirector of the Seventh Region,U.S. Civil Service Commission,433 W.

Most agreed that itwas possible to maintain dualloyalty to the union and to theagency.Wages for Social WorkersThe next question consideredwas that of the non-existence ofa wage standard for social work¬ers, and of the general inadequacyof remuneration. It was pointedout that under these conditionsskilled caseworkers often switchto administrative positions. Mr.Hosch stated that the AASW wa."conducting studies in connectionwith councils of social agenciesdesigned to bring about standardi¬zation and improvement. Mr. Kellydeclared that the unions had al¬ready accomplished a great dealin improving the wages of socialworkers and the services renderedto social cases.During the business portion ofthe meeting, Maurice Hahamo-vitch, president of SSA Club, an¬nounced the plans for next quar¬ter. The two existing workshops,on. “Techniques of Social Action”and “Social Workers and Labor”,are now preparing their materialwhich is to be presented in theAutumn Quarter.

Accord¬ing to our instructions, andfearing that we might be leftbehind if we did not obeythem to the letter, we arrivedon the dock about ten in themorning. The ship, howeverdidn’t sail until after 6 p.m. Itlooked like the old Army gameof “hurry up and wait’’.Perhaps this could be explained by the fact that theWashington is an unconvertectroop-ship. In fact, the malemembers of the delegationslept down in the same holethat were used by the soldiersonly this time they were onlytwo deep instead of four. Theyhad mattresses too, so ourcompartment carries only 3(iinstead of 60.So far the weather has beenbeautiful. The air is cool andfresh and the sun shines bril¬liantly. Everyone is out on decksun bathing and chatting. I wasout there myself this morningand as a result am turning arather distressing shade of red.There are over a thousand peo¬ple on board. Quite a few of themare Irish, going back to visit the‘‘old sod”, or to judge from theage of some of them, to die there.Another large group is Czech.There are a surprisingly largenumber of ' people, Americansprincipally, going to conferencesof one kind or another. In oursleeping compartment there is agroup of about ten men who aredelegates to a World StudentChristian Federation conferencewhich is being held in Geneva andGuatt, Switzerland. There are sev¬eral others who are going to meet¬ings in England and many childrenon board also.Reports for NSOUp to now, this section of thedelegation to Prague has beentaking life easy, settling down,talking to people and sitting inthe sun. However, within the nextfew days we have to get down towork.We have been assigned twomajor tasks. For one thing wemust re-write our program draftedat the New York conference. An¬other thing that we must do isprepare a report on the feasibilityof starting an American NationalStudent Organiiation, outliningthe first steps that must be takento get it going. This I expect willbe a difficult job, since it is noteasy to plan something like thiswisely.All of us have an idea or twoon the matter, so long discussionis to be expected. Informally weare agreed that such a studentorganization must gain wide ac¬ceptance and support, that it muststimulate student activity and or¬ganization throughout the UnitedStates. To attain these objectivesand at the same time gain themoral and financial support of existing National Student Organ¬izations is our major task.We have met a number of in¬teresting people on board so far.but that*will have to b6 taken upin the hext report to you. By thattime I sihould be in London wherewe are stopping for three dayson our way to Prague. We hopeto get a plane there. If that doesn’twork out we will have to go toParis and take our chances ongetting railroad or air transporta¬tion there.MIDWEST PREMIEREicnipLflYflouSE ME SHOW- : ^ VGONT m H'liN'uo A.M COOL LondonAugust 5We arrived in London last Sun¬day, August 4th, at about 3 a.m.,after docking at Southampton latethe preceding afternoon. We areliving here in a student roominghouse, these facilities being ar¬ranged for us by the NationalUnion of Students of Great Brit¬ain and Wales. They are in a verypleasant section of the city, a sec¬tion that was relatively undam¬aged by bombs.We have done a little sight-see¬ing. Yesterday we went to West¬minster Abbey and spent severalhours examining it. We visitedespecially the ‘‘poet’s corner”,where Chaucer, Dryden and Spen¬ser are buried. We also visited, orat least looked at, several otherfamous buildings, including • 10Downing Street and TrafalgarSquare.Today we are preparing toleave. Our reservations on theplane to Prague did not comethrough so we are going to Paristomorrow and go on to Praguefrom there.It has been a hectic week-end.First of all this is a “bank holiday”and none of the stores or banksare open. Even the embassies areclosed and most of the post of¬fices. So*"we have had some diffi¬culty getting our money changedor cashing traveler’s checks.We made some valuable and interesting acquaintances while onthe ship. Among other things thatwe did was to attend a meetingof the National Maritime Union.That gave us some insight into theworkings of a union. As one of ussaid when it was all over, “Nowjust let someone tell me the unionsaren’t democratic”. It really was alively meeting. Everyone, from adeck-hand to an engineer from‘way down in the bowels of theship, got up and had his say’.Traveling CompanionsAmong the people that we metwas a Mr. Pitman. He was on hisway to Paris to set up a foreignoffice for the Chicago Defenderand the National Negro Press As¬sociation. He was very much in¬terested in our conference andfrom long conversations with usobtained sufficient information towrite an article that will no doubtappear soon.We met*another newspaper manalso, a ’Czech. He and his familyhad been in the United States thelast seven years where he workedfor a Czech language paper. Nowthey were going back to Czecho¬slovakia to take over a magazinein Prague. We had many longconversations with the family. Butthis time we learned a lot our¬selves. We asked all sorts of ques¬tions about the country and itspolitics. Out of all this will comean article in the Czech magazineabout the American delegation.We also met a number of mentraveling to the UNRRA confer¬ence at Geneva. Among these wasa young Russian who was verypleasant but evidently feared tosay much about politics lest itbe misinterpreted.As the voyage progressed webecame better acquainted with thedelegates to the World StudentChristian Conference. They werevery interested in us and we hada meeting with them during whichwe explained all about ourselves.They were, I think, favorably im¬pressed both by the persons in ourdelegation and the plans we havefor fhp future.RUSS AUSTIN Home Study EnrollmentOutstrips Campus TotalChina War IsForum TopicFollowing its custom of presenting topics of widespread interest,the Student Forum will discussthe subject of “The Civil War inChina” when its Radio RoundTable is aired over WBBM at 3:45on Saturday afternoon.

If you shouldwalk in some day and pose theright questions to Home Study’fable directw, Clem Thompson,you would find that a busy littlestaff of 18 takes care of the edu¬cational requirements of 11,000men and women, far-flungthroughout North America andWestern Europe.Long a feature of the Universitywith a pre-war enrollment of3,500, Home Study came into itsown in 1941 when a far-seeingBoard of Trustees voted to remit50 per cent of the tuition fees forservice men. A total remittancein the past five years of $78,O00indicates the magnanimity of theBoard’s action.Business became better everysucceeding year, and when HomeStudy agreed to supply lessons tothe fighting men through theArmed Forces Institute, enroll¬ment began outstripping the Uni¬versity population on the Quad¬rangles.The 150 college and high schoolcourses provided, Mr. Thompsonwill tell you are, strangelyenough, put to varied uses. In thecase of the Armed Forces Insti¬tute the courses were primarilyintended as morale-boosters inthe war-area rest camps. YetDirector Thompson sees more clothin Home Study when he describesit as a “complement-supplement”to the living university: comple¬ment to the many residents whoneed courses not being given, andsupplement to those who cannotget to campus in person.Although the University is re¬nowned for educational innova¬tions, Home Study will retain itftried and true teaching tech¬niques. Any hope that you willbe able to catch Mr. Adler’s 10o’clock lecture by snapping on theradio at home are small, indeed,although a non-credit plan of thiskind is working at OklahomaUniversity. The chief objectionto this, says Thompson, is thatstudents can’t always get to theradio at the designated hour and,if missed, the lesson is no longeravailable.AVC OfficeShuts DownThe campus chapter of AVC an¬nounced yesterday that all officialactivities would be suspended forthe remainder of the quarter.
