V'AVC Men Denounce Communist BlAngered by reports of the cir¬culation about campus of a list ofnames classifying some 20-odd fel¬low-members as cotnmunists andfellow-travelers, a group of AVCnien have issued a statement tothe MAROON castigating the un-jiiiown author of the list. ^The statement, which, incident¬ally. endorses an anti-communiststand recently taken by their na¬tional headquarters, reads as fol¬lows:“It has recently come to theattention of the undersigned,members of the University chapterof the American ^ Veterans Com-niitlee, that a list of names isbeing circulated surreptitiouslyabout campus which denounces a group of our fellow-members as‘communists’ and ‘fellow-travel¬lers,’Deplore Name-Calling“We oppose the entrance intoour ranks of members of the Com¬munist party and fascist groupsand we shall strive to preventthem, when and if, by subterfugeor deceit, they gain such entrance,from attempting to use AVC as asounding board for their own per¬verse philosophies, but we refuse tobe frightened by any loose appli¬cation of terms. We do not relin¬quish faith in our friends and co¬workers because of irresponsibleand unsubstantiated name-calling.“We deplore this attempt to dis¬credit our friends and our organi¬zation and ask that anyone know¬ ing the identity of the person re¬sponsible for publication of whatis, today, a vicious allegation, com¬municate with one of the under¬signed.”Reiterate National ViewpointThe statement is signed by Mar¬vin Bailin, Stockwell Evert, BertWax, Irving Scott, Ray Poplett,John Hoving, Bill Birenbaum, Sid¬ney Lezak, Ed Wood, Dick Pelz,Rod DeCamp, Frank Cliffe, PhilipRieff, and Nef Rosenheim.The opposition to “entrance intoour ranks of members of the Com¬munist party and fascist groups”was originally expressed in a pressrelease by AVC’s national planningcommittee two weeks ago, and dis¬cussion on the measure is to bepresented to the campus member¬ ship for a vote at 1;iieir next gen¬eral meeting, December 5.'Reaction to the release, first an¬nounced to the nation by WalterWinchell, appears to have sim¬mered down to two opposing pointsof view, indicating a lively sessionat the December 5 meeting:1. (Against) Closing member¬ship to minority groups involvesa denial of civil liberties and mayresult in a “witch-hunt.”2. (For) As a matter of princi¬ple, “We spurn the insincere co¬operation of a minority group un¬questionably obeying leaders whoseobjectives, involving a totalitariandictatorship of the extreme left,are irreconcilable with our own.”And, practically, the granting of a Federal charter, support by lib¬eral individuals and groups, effec¬tive increase in membership andthe very existence of the Ameri¬can Veteran’s Committee, dependsupon a firm re-statement of itspolicy at this time. The necessityof maintaining sound public re¬lations demands that such a state¬ment be made, as indicated byreports on the recent C.I.O. con¬vention, and references to witch¬hunts merely evade this vital prob¬lem.Statements in full, from theNational Planning Committee andthe Council of Chicago Area chap¬ters are being mailed to thecampus membership in prepara¬tion for discussion at the Decem¬ber 5 meeting.Slff ©htrano IlarannVol. 6, No. 18—Z-149 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, MONDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1946 Price 5 CentsEditorialAn Open Letter To Pres. Colwell:December 2, 1946.Dear Sir:The question of adequate lighting for the third floorreading room of Harper library is really a comparativelysmall one.It belongs among the routine business of eitherthe Superintendent of Building and Grounds or the ad¬ministrators of the University’s library system. It certain¬ly is not the job of the University’s president.But the Harper lights problem apparently will not besolved without pressure from your office upon those re¬sponsible. Since 1941 the MAROON has, intermittently,called the problem to the attention of Building andGrounds, the Harper library services division and its read¬ers. During these five years, as during the proceding de¬cades, there has been no action.The situation is disgraceful. In the best-lit areas ofthe library’s main reading room (3.6 foot candles of lightuix)n the reading surface) a reader will strain his eyesseriously in a very short time; in the darkest corner (.8foot candles) fine print can barely be distinguished at all;at the average desk (2.8 foot candles) the student willdamage his eyes irreparably in the course of only a fewweeks of study. These readings were taken during daylighthours. For evening study, the readings can be reduced byabout two-fifths. MAROON reporters armed with a simplephoto-electric lightmeter have double-checked these figures.Matthew Luckiesh, in his authoritative book, “Light,Vision and Seeing,” sets the adequate minimum for reading8-point type face on high quality paper at 10 foot-candleson the reading surface. This is a bare minimum; the range(Continued on page 6) Harper Lights —No CommentOn Blackout'Maroon ToldBy DORIS KRUDENERA story on the Harperlighting problem was run bythe MAROON on November22.

It is with great interestthat we note that there is noother side of the story.

Thepresent system that has been instituted for safeguardingthe courts and at the same time checking on the hours ofthe younger students, was debated for the major portion ofthe session.During the course of the meet¬ing, John Wilkinson, faculty ad¬viser of the group, pointed outthe reasons for the sytem that wasinstituted last Monday. It wasagreed that the system had causeda great deal of complaint fromolder men residing in the houses.It was decided to delay action onthe issue until a period of time hadelapsed that would be sufficientto determine how much actual re¬sentment was felt. The issue willbe raised again at the next meet¬ing.Athletic PlansJohn Watt, athletic chairmanof the council, announced thatplans have been formulated forthree intra-mural tournaments.The first of these wil be a pingpong meet, to be conducted duringthe remainder of the autumnquarter. A basketball league andintra-mural track meet have beenarranged for the winter quarter. Teams are in the process of organ¬izing for the basketball leaguenow.The council voted to institutea communal record system for thecourts. The system will be eitherin the form of block booking thatwill enable record albums to ro¬tate through the courts in thecourse of a year, or a central li¬brary from which records can bechecked out by individuals andreturned in a few days.Music with MealsArangements are being made topurchase an amplifying systemfor the courts. 'The amplifier wouldbe kept in a central place and bemade available for groups whowould need it for various functions.It is felt that this will fill a needthat the courts have long felt. Theloudspeaker will also make it pos¬sible for music to be played dur¬ing the dinner hour in the courts.The next meeting of the coun¬cil will be Tuesday, December 10. Skull-Crescent*Expands CroupAims, FunctionsSkull and Crescent, sophomoremen’s honor society, this week an¬nounced its plans for the comingyear. It has been decided by themembers of the society that Skulland Crescent will not functionmerely as the sophomore recog¬nition group, but as an activecampus organization to supportand promote worthwhile campusactivities. At present its plans in¬clude backing the athletic promo¬tion committee which organizesthe pep rallies and forms the nu¬cleus of support for the variousschool teams.

From the tables in the Tavern to the place whereLezak sang, the Congress shook with the impact of some seven hundredodd couples losing their dignity with not so quiet aplomb. Frolickingcavorting, or what have yoU and adding to the general confusion, suchcombinations as Bob AndeTson and Toni Wheeler, Lex Miller andJoan Hayes, Jim Ratcliffe and Pris Joice, and Bambi Golden andChuck Barlow appeared to be having one whee of a time. The grandmarch, hopefully led by John McBride and Dietz Schulze, degeneratedinto a hither and yon military scramble with everyone more inter¬ested in seeing queen Jo Gunnar than in forming an orderly procession.A whole column could be devoted to the myriad of pre- and post¬party parties that pre-conditioned everyone to make the very best ofthe dance The Betas outdid themselves, throwing two shindigs, oneat the house and one at the Congress with Dave Wilder and M. j.Martin and Eddie and Alice Armstrong looking very pleased aboutthe whole thing. Paul Finer and Carol Dragstedt^and Ed McGowan andBetty Johnson came from the DU dinner looking well fed. Among thecrowded Phi Gams, Mr. Strozier and Kilroy were evident.ZBT’s Marv Bailen and Jerry Greenwald were both with VERYgood looking dates, both named Duetsch, and neither of them Muriel.Surprise of the evening was Sonny Dunham’s announcement of ValerieKopecky’s pinning to Harmon Craig. Helping celebrate the occasionwere Ham’s PhiG brother Bill Service and Jerry McDowell. Don’t besurprised if wedding bells ring out soon for the last of those two pairs.The Kappa Beta Phi breakfast at Ricardo’s, following the dance,was enlivened considerably by the KBPhi version of the “Muffin Man.’’Rather overshadowed by I-F, but still one good party was theSigma Chi open house. In response to numerous inquiries that was aBeta pledge pin on the caged animal reposing in the Circus Room.The secret of the successful Sigma Chi parties seems to be plain old-fashioned hospitality , . . They make their guests feel they’re reallyglad to see them.Outstanding feature of the Sigma party out in Flossmoor lastweek was the rough and tumble (ouch) football game . . . touchtackle style. Rumor has it that Donna Archibald has been approachedby scouts for the Bears. Barbara Bioomquist and Taylor Morrisarrived too late to join the game due to a quirk of the Deke idea of acar.

Beam that the students, manyof them veterans and their wives,lived as “one big family.” He saidthat the Co-(^ could not be classedas a rooming house because allmembers contributed to its main¬tenance and were helping to retirea $15,000 mortgage on the prop¬erty.The Rev. John Dowling, mem¬ber of a Catholic priests’ home at4821 Ellis avenue, testified in be¬half of the Co-op that his groupwas classified as a single-familydwelling, though the home, for¬mer residence of Mayor Kelly, isoccupied by a group of tenants.The jury reached its decision af¬ter 15 minutes’ deliberatiem. Thetrial lasted four days, following arefusal by the students to sign anagreement to vacate the premiseswhen the housing shortage ended."GHOSTS" IN JANUARYGeorge Blair, Players Guilddirector has recently announcedthat the production of Ibsen’s“Ghosts”, originally scheduledfor December, has been post¬poned imtil January.comes every year!Last year booksellers were kept busy explaining to group "A" why"FOREVER AMBER" was not in stock and soothing group "B", who arguedthat Amber should not have been distributed after migrating to Virginia.It was a hectic period, and many fingernails were bitten off as far as theelbpw. This year is entirely different. Amber and her champions havevanished and group "B" is chortling over the new fall books.

The bookstore manager, Mr.Passmore, has approved this idea.Ten to fifteen, clerks will beneeded at the beginning of thequarter, who will be paid at theprevailing University rate ofseventy cents an hour. Their workhours will be regulated with theirschool schedules. Any members ofthe chapter willing to help on thisproject should contact WilliamBirenbaum, BUT. 9424, 6025 Ken¬wood, chairman of this project.Because of AVC suggestions, aspecial counter will be set up inthe front of the bookstore forvouchers, which will be arrangednumerically, by the numbers of theC books. Veterans will receivevouchers as they enter the store,and then can go directly to thebook counters.Voucher congestion will also bereduced because advance registra¬tion makes it possible for theclerical wcwrk to be done over alonger period of time.Working with Joseph Borbely, ofthe VA, and D. S. Passmore of thebookstore, AVC has also arrangedfor a second hand book depart¬ment. Veterans who have no moreuse for books are encouraged tosell their texts back to the book¬store. Any student who has suc¬cessfully finished a course is theowner of a book issued to him bythe VA.According to Mr. Borbely, theVA, through the school, is to fur¬nish all texts “at minimum costs.”Second hand books can thus beissued on vouchers at purchaseprice. and six three-story buildings isPhilip B.

To secure a foreignpolicy aiming at World Govern¬ment requires a new politicalmovement that will provide pro¬gressive leadership at home andabroad, and that will transcendroutine divisions of “left” and“right” which are now obscuredby nationalism.Liberals cannot make realprogress in solution of socialand economic problems whileinternational tensions in¬crease. Whatever gains canbe made will be wiped out ifworld anarchy produces war.Only a World Governmentcan provide the peace neces¬sary for us to tackle effective¬ly the basic problems ofhuman welfare. LiberalsMUST continue to fight fora more progressive America;yet, it must be realized thatthis fight is an integral partof the united campaign for jWorld Government. * T h e |major political division from |here until the world is united {must be: between those who !choose world unity and those jwho indifferently a c c e p 11world anarchy.Here at U. C. in the PoliticalUnion election we have a chanceto point the way for the politi¬cians and help make World Gov¬ernment an issue everywhere.Specifically, the WFP Platformsupports in foreign policy:1. Work to prepare the condi¬tions for World Community bysupporting U.N., ceding Japanesebases to U.N., opposing imperial¬ism, supporting democratic ele¬ments in China, Spain and Ar¬gentina, proposing U. N. controlof Palestine, Germany and Japan,and attempting an understandingwith Russia on the basis of thisnew policy.2. Work to build World Govern¬ment by clarifying transition In domestic affairs, WPP worksfor a progressive America by sup¬porting / an Economic Bill ofRights, growth and democratiza¬tion of labor unions, all movestoward a more democratic eco¬nomy (cooperatives, small busi¬ness, opposition to monopolies),positive governmental action fromlocal communities to national(e.g. emergency housing, T.V.A.,scientific research), ^civil liber¬ties and FEPC, streamlining ofCongress, and federal aid toeducation including opportunitiesfor college education to all de¬serving students.Conservative PartyWe are conservatives, not be¬cause we believe that the situa¬tion aroimd us is unimprovable,but because we believe that thenecessary improvements shouldbe based upon the traditionalAmerican “common sense” whichis our greatest heritage. In recti¬fying injustices of the past andpresent, we must take great carenot to set up a new system of in¬justices worse than the old.Violent or rapid change al¬ways has produced eitherchaos or dictatorship. Withinneither of these can the in¬dividual feel stability or knowreal freedom. The Americansystem, as it stands now, con¬tains the best basis for itsown regeneration.OUR ATTITUDE TOWARDLABOR AND BUSINESS: Wefavor the establishment of re¬sponsibilities for both manage¬ment and labor, and we demandenforcement of all legal contrac¬tual relationships between thetwo.OUR ATTITUDE TOWARD U.S. GOVERNMENT: We desire aneconomical fiscal policy accom¬panied by only moderate tax re¬duction, in order to reduce thenational debt. We favor immedi¬ate reduction of personal incometaxes in lower brackets.OUR ATTITUDE TOWARDINTERNATIONAL PROBLEMS.For the present,. support the bi¬partisan foreign policy of Byrnesand Vandenburg. This includes asensible military and scientificpreparedness. We believe theAmerican attitude toward Rus¬sia should be one of friendship,understanding, and economic competition. And we favor theestablishment of a world govern¬ment at such time as it is prac¬ticable.OUR FUNDAMENTAL PUR¬POSE: The Conservative partywill endeavor to eliminate thefalse reputation for politicalradicalism of the l/niversitjr ofChicago. opposed to Poll taxes and otherundemocratic franchise restric¬tions, quota systems, and restric¬tive covenants; we supportpermanent FEPC.Progressive PartyAs Progressives:We believe in political democ¬racy, religious freedom, and racialequality.We believe a free societymust insure that everyonehas the opportunity 'to earna decent standard of living.Therefore, government shouldtake positive action to cor¬rect the injustices existent inour present economic organi¬zation.We believe the continued exist¬ence of a free society dependsupon intelligent thought and dis¬cussion by all. We therefore em¬phasize the importance of betterand more universal education.Last and most important,we believe that liberty andsecurity will never be safe ina w’orld lacking a guaranteeof lasting peace. We are con¬vinced that a federal W’orldgovernment is the only pos¬sible means of attaining thatguarantee.On current issues:CIVIL LIBERTIES—We are ECONOMIC SECURITY — Wefavor health insurance, the Wag-ner-Taft-Ellender housing bill,an MVA, the St. Lawrence Sea¬way, extending Social Security .toall, capital and labor sharing inmairagement and profits, coopera¬tives, public ownership wherecompetition is thwarted,' and aworkable full employment bill.EDUCATION—We favor federalfinancial aid to educational insti-! tutions and students. We favorpublicity, education, and legisla-; tion towards removing such prob¬lems as racial tensions, alcohol-j ism, and juvenile delinquency.II WORLD AFFAIRS—We favorstrict international control ofatomic development and worlddisarmament now. We are inI sympathy with such measures as1 Bretton Woods which make for1 greater international cooperation,but Ve recognize that the onlyi practical solution to the problemsj of war and peace lies in the earlyi establishment of a true world'government (transforming UN if Ipossible).

The service is free andis intended to give vets an oppor¬tunity to have a night out occa¬sionally, Barbara Burke, chairmanof the local unit, suggested theservice.Before this year, the Red Crossunit sent girls to Vaughn Generalhospital to act as hostesses. SinceVaughn has closed the unit hasbeen without a main project. Babysitting has been adopted as a sub¬stitute for the previous plan.The reason the plan was adoptedwas because it was felt that mostveterans could not afford thestandard charge of sixty-five centsan hour that is being assessed atpresent by professional baby sit¬ters. Nevertheless, vets and vetswives are in need of occasionalnights of recreation. The presentsystem is limited to families liv¬ing in the pre-fabs. When theservice is more firmly established,the unit hopes to expand it to in¬clude all veterans who attend theuniversity. •Marjorie Gilfillan heads the sit¬ting service. Under her is a rep¬resentative from each of the wo¬men’s residence halls on thecampus. They have contacted ‘allgirls in the dorms in an ■•ffort toget each of them to donate onenight a month for baby sittingSo far, over 150 girls have volun¬teered their services. With thisnumber, every vet living in thepre-fabs can have the services ofa baby sitter one night a weekwhen he desires it.Mr. and Mrs. Earl Ratzer represent the pre-fabs. Any veteranwho wishes to avail himself of thisservice should contact. them andplace his order. The only obliga¬tion the vet incurs is the respon¬sibility for caling for the girl andreturning her to her hall. Other¬wise, absolutely no charge or ob¬ligation of any kind accrues.The service now has been in op¬eration for three weeks.

The vets and theirwives naturally like the idea ofhaving a night off. The girls areequally pleased because it givesthe man opportunity to spend aquiet evening in the living room ofan apartment. Most vets have noobjection if the girl brings her datealong with her. As a matter offact, this has been rather a com¬mon practice so far. The pleasedvets have usually spread smallfeeds for the girls.So far, girls from Green, Fosterand Beecher hall have given theirtime to the project. Operation hasbeen smooth and there have beenno complaints. ’ This is the firstschool where such a service hasbeen instituted as a regular thing.Other school provide such a ser¬vice when vets or wives have toattend evening classes, but UCis the only place that sponsoredthe plan strictly to provide recrea¬tional opportunities for marriedcouples.Latest reports from MarjorieGilfillan is that Burton-Judson isbeing surveyed to recruit baby sit¬ters from the men students.

For sub-standardvision (45% of the readers in Harper were wearing glassesduring a MAROON spot-check) anything below 15 foot-candles is dangerous.In view of these facts, Harper reading room’s 2.8 aver¬age is not only an inconvenience but constitutes seriousnegligence on the part of those responsible; negligencewhich the MAROON, acting for the University students,refuses to tolerate.The most disgusting feature of the problem is the pettyreason for its continuance. MAROON reporters, question¬ing officials directly concerned, *have received abundantinformation to indicate that the inaction is due primarilyto personalities. We are aware that other factors are in¬volved, but are also certain that the deciding factor in theimpasse is that officials in Building and Grounds and in thelibrary system differ in tastes and preferences, and arestubbornly unwilling to compromise. We further suspect'Ithat the greatest burden of blame rests with Building andGround officials.Speaking for the students of the University, we requestthat you break this deadlock.

Names will he deleted if this desire isindicated in the letter, hut the original note must hesigned.)*World Government Must Meet Two ConditionsThe letter in the last Marcxin points up two conditions governingthe current mania for the immediate establishment of world govern¬ment that have tragic implications, to say the least. First is the whollyinadequate historical and logical grounds on which these excited en¬thusiasts base their case. Second is the great waste of potentiallycreative capacity of these enthusiasts which, instead of being devotedto the constructive efforts of clearing the groundwork and removingobstacles to real world cooperation, is off prancing after the pot ofgold which doesn’t exist; thus, (Causing the possibility of frustrateddisillusionment and introversion when the search has finally beenproved fruitless.Need Two Conditions for GovernmentFor further clarification of the first condition, let these funda¬mental historical “facts of life” be understood. Government at any levelrepresents the response to the pressing cry of all societies for a cen¬tralized agency that w'ill by some means reconcile the divergent inter¬ests and claims of different elements of the society and will channel(by various means) their mutually conflicting efforts into the paththat allows the minimum amount of order necessary for the mainten¬ance of life and whatever progress that may be procured. The partic¬ular foim and institutional organization the government assumes isconditioned by the dynamic social, politico-economic forces activewithin the society. Each of these forces, opierating under its pwn his¬torical laws, creates a condition which the government meets by itsparticular form.A government, then, to be effective must be “entitled to its exist¬ence” by the above standards. Under these conditions its creation willbe “automatic,” i.e. it will be the natural political reaction to the needsof society as presented by the cumulative effect of the interaction ofall these forces.Why, then, attempt to force on world society a governmentalmechanism which it obviously is not equipped to use at the pres¬ent time?Local Conditions ImportantWith regard to the second condition, it follows that if a govern¬ment comes into existence because international conditions necessitateit, the efforts of these high-minded individuals would be better ex¬pended attempting to correct some of the local social-economic con¬ditions which SO direct the call for any government. For example, cananyone believe world government would have any meaning whencountries deem it essential to exploit colonial areas, when completefreedom to abuse private property is demanded by its owners, or wheneconomic control in practically all nations is maintained in the handsof those who would have most to lose under such a government?As never before in our history, now is the time for all enlightenedstudents to work for definite achievable goals that would truly pavethe path to world government rather than unconcernedly strewingobstacles in our own way gleefully imagining that “comes the WorldGovernment and everything will be just fine.”HAL STERN‘Need Help For Student ConferenceRuss Austin of the Committee for the Chicago StudentConference and President of A VC says:‘•The Chicago Student Conference is of vital interest toall U of C students.“The Committee for the Chicago Student Conference needshelp.

Accord¬ing to Corn, if the constitutionis not ratified, the organizationrannot continue to exist as acampus organization. The Stu¬dent Association has been respon¬sible for the activity ticket.' Thisticket has made campus activi¬ties available to all students ata remarkably low rate. Unless theAssociation can continue to func¬tion as a campus organization,the price of the tickets may riseas much as fifty per cent. Thisrise will be attributed to thechange in the ticket’s federal taxstatus.At the next meeting, the pastactivities of the Association willbe reviewed and discussed in de¬tail. The general policy of theStudent Association will be for¬mulated for the rest of the school year. The decision of theAssociation’s executive board toback the continued publication ofPulse will also be discussed.“The Student Association wasformed in order to make activi¬ties on campus^ available to allstudents at lower cost.

The awfultruth is probably more down toearth. No masterpiece, but defin-\-4tely no atrocity, the Guild’s pro¬duction was just so-so.A first rate piece of dramatur¬gy, the Foxes is bound to be ef¬fective no matter how many diffi¬culties beset its presentation.About the attempts of an un¬scrupulous family to gain con¬trol of a cotton mill, the 'Foxesis swift, exciting, and evil. ButMiss Heilman’s play is no insigni¬ficant tale full of sound and fury;when the curtain goes down sheleaves you something to thinkabout. Whether or not the showretains its subtler aspects dependsupon the skill of the director andthe actors.Saturday night the actorsapparently came to different con¬clusions as to how the showshould be played. The ladieswanted to keep it serious, two ofthe Hubbards played it for laughs,and a third didn’t have enoughpower to play it for much of any-^ tjring. As a result, the melodramawas always in evidence, and thefull impact of the drama waslost.McCain Excellent as ReginaCompeting with Talullah Bank-head and Bette Davis is no easytask, and fortunately Martha Mc¬Cain didn’t try. Her Regina com¬manded the stage not by volume,but by subtle, quiet power. Mrs.McCain’s interpretation of Re-■ gina was very human, possibly be¬cause she added a sympathetictone that is usually lacking whenthat part is played.As the young girl who comesto know the truth about hermother. Dawn Pfeiffer was at hervery best. Jacqueline Chalat whotook the part of the mistreatedBirdie also gave a genuine per¬formance.In comparison with the rest ofthe men in the cast, William Al¬ton as Horace seemed to havemost control of -his part. If any¬thing, he was too forceful andobvious about it all. Ronald Rei-fler sported with Oscar for threeshows, and at least he provedhimself an excellent comic. Theonly trouble is that Miss Heilmandidn’t intend the kind of laugh¬ter Reifler evoked. Lewis Musilwho undertook Leo played hispart for laughs too, although itreally didn’t matter much. Rich¬ard Lawrence tried hard withBen, but he had none of thestrength in his portrayal neces¬sary to get the character across.The servants, Addie and Call,• played by Lois Shepherd andMark Ashin, were both well done.Harvey Rose as Marshall was cer¬tainly adequate.The set designed by CharlesLown was one of the best we haveseen on the Mandel hall stage BlitheandBrittleBy BARKE and BUSHNELLfor many years.

It was evi¬dent throughout the evening thatthe audience as well as the per¬formers were enjoying themselvesthoroughly.With the exception of the Mo¬zart ‘‘Theme and Variations” andthe Schumann ‘‘Impromptu,” thewhole evening was devoted totwentieth-century music. Messrs.Gold’s and Fitzdale’s excellentsense of coordination, especiallytheir rhythmic drive, made every¬one sit up and take notice, evenwhen they were not playing thebest compositions our age has tooffer.Satie Core of ProgramThe core of the program wasbuilt around Eric Satie and ex¬tended to Debussy, Milhaud andVirgil 'Thomson, all of whom weregreatly infuenced by the satiricalFrenchman. The ‘‘Three Pieces inthe Shape of a Pear,” composed in1903 by Satie, is one of his manycompositions with titles aimed atthe pictorialism of the impression¬ists. Debussy was influenced bySatie’s harmonic idiom; butwhereas Satie used ‘‘impression¬istic harmonies” as an acompani-ment to a melodic line, Debussyuses them for their own sake.In ‘‘En Blanc et Noir” (On Whiteand Black) he uses these harmon¬ies in the three independent im¬pressions which are jDrojected. Thefirst piece illustrates^ four shortlines of poetry from the librettoof Goun(^’s ‘‘Romeo and Juliet”with obvious ironic allusions tomen who stood aside incapacitatedduring the war. (Debussy, whohimself belonged to this . classof men, wrote this work in thesummer of 1915.)The second piece of “En Blancet Noir” is war music, containingsuggestions of bugle calls, the rum¬bling of guns and Luther’s chorale—Eine Feste Burg—presented withdissonant harmonies, symbolizingwarlike Germany.The third piece is a simple com¬mentary on a line from an oldpoem by Charles d’Orleans whichDebussy has Already set to music":‘‘Yver, vous n’estes qu’un vilain!” The two Milhaud works as well asthe ‘‘Synthetic Waltzes” by VirgUThomson bore out Satie’s influenceas a "harmonist” and satiristrespectively.Rhythmic CoordinationMessrs. Gold and Fitzdale per¬formed Aaron Copland’s "DanzonCubano” with excellent rhythmiccoordination, so necessary in hisrhythmically complex work. Theyalso presented the audience withthe performance of a Sonata byPaul Bowles, a pupil of VirgilThomson and Aaron Copland,which made us wonder whetherthe term "Sonata” is applied thesedays to anything written in a pre¬scribed form, even if it is notmusic.ALAMODEby RoinsbergMota Fissure is a divisional stu¬dent. We brushed shoulders withhim yesterday on the boardwalkbetween Cobb and the crater. Hewas wearing an identificationbadge. Now, Mota is an old friendof ours, and none of what followsis intended to reflect upon hischaracter.As a child we lived next doorto Mota. One Fourth of Julywe were celebrating in his backyard. We had a large box offirecrackers. Somehow Motacontrived accidentally to setoff the entire box at once.This trifling incident was aportent of Mota’s destiny.Natives of Louisville may recallthe terrifying detonation withwhich Bourbon high school oneSunday ceased operations. Mem¬bers of the chemistry departmentflatly avowed that sophomore Fis¬sure had been the last student tomake use of a bunsen burner onFriday afternoon. Mota never de¬nied this, but swore he had turnedoff the gas.During the war Mota was asailor assigned to an ammuni¬tion ship. He was one of thefew survivors of the explosionfolks back home had confi¬dently expected. We arc grave¬ly concerned not so much byhis presence on campus as bythe news that Mota Fissure isnow a student of nuclear.physics.Original ivory Mah Jong setscontained the names of famousChinese heroes engraved on theirsurface, according to the Ency¬clopaedia Britannica.

TheBookCornerReviewed byRICHARD R. ROBERTSMetamorphosis. By Pranz Kafka. Van¬guard, 1946. 98 pp. $2.75.(Available at local bookstores)In Prague, in the years followingthe first World War, a young Ger-man-Czech author was living outthe last months of his life in thefeverish, intense condition ofmind associated with poets whosehealth and promise of happinesshave been stolen by tuberculosis.The mortal reaction to this real¬ization of a personal short shrift—the knowledge that one’s hourshave been numbered—may be arollicking assertion of life, or aswith Franz. Kafka, an acute ex¬ploration of human behavior inthe face of human suffering. Kaf¬ka, whose photograph reveals asmall dark young man with glit¬tering, inquiring eyes, spent hisshort life in the often mean andfrustrating milieu of the pettybourgeois, or what has since re¬ceived the more significant labelof “white collar proletariat’’ — aclass often forced to swallow itspride and prostrate itself beforethe men who rule society, while itseeks comfort in pathetic rational¬izations.Kafka avoided rationalizationsand turned head-on into the problems of a painful, unrewarding life.Many Americans are familiar withthe writings of Jaroslav Hasek, acontemporary of Kafka, whoturned the struggles of the underdog, caught in the irksome web ofHabsburg bureaucracy during theWorld War, into the warm, richhumor of The Good SoldierSchweik. Like Hasek, Kafka hasmade it his task to delineate thebitter world of the underdog, hisnightmares and fantasies, his lit¬tle victories and his great defeats.Kafka’s Amerika, published herein 1942, recounts the adventuresof a youth like the author, whoescaped from the futile limbo oflower class Central European citylife into the glamorous New World.During the past decade, a co¬terie of Kafka fans has appearedin this country, a little band ofadmirers who in their zeal oftenqbscure Kafka’s good points be¬hind a smokescreen of over-refinedcritical jargon laced with termsborrowed from Freud and variousunintelligible cults of literary crit¬icism. METAMORPHOSIS has notyet met this fate. ^It is a tale, which if told by al¬most any other author, would bebizarre. Gregor Samsa is a youngman whose salary as “traveler” fora business firm supports his moth¬er, retired father, and young sis¬ B-J Men Howl In ProtestAt New Hours RegulationsThe men of Burton-Judson courts finally have some¬thing to gripe about. Many of the men, ex-vets, have feltstrangely unhappy since the quarter began because therewas nothing in the residence set up that required actualvociferous complaint. Now, with the institution on the newhours system, the go‘od old armyter. Gregor has chosen their dwell¬ing in a quarter of the city dis¬liked by his parents, acceptedgrudgingly only because Gregor istheir economic mainstay. Gregor’syoung sister Greta plays the violin,and Gregor hopes to pay for herlessons, at some future time, inthe conservatory.As the story opens, Gregor slow¬ly awakens one morning, thinkingof how he must soon report forwork, and discovers that he hasundergone a horrid transforma¬tion. Painfully dragging himselfout of bed, he grows aware thathe is no longer a human being buta huge, lumbering, repulsive in¬sect. Outside his door, his familyare assembled, shouting that he islate for work.When the first horrid shock ofGregor’s metamorphosis haspassed, the family gradually be¬comes resigned. Father, motherand Greta live in the house, lack¬ing the initiative to find anotherplace. All go to work. Gregor mis¬erably crawls about his room, whileHerr Samsa, his wife, and hisdaughter, at first horrified, growlistless and cruel under the strainof this strange occurrence so outrageous and undeserved. Gregor,helpless, watches their confusionand observes them growing callousand finally sadistic in their atti¬tudes towards him.This fable, told with warmth,sympathy and insight, displaysKafka’s unusual talents, his singu¬lar revelation of psychology andmorality through symbolism. TheAmerican reader as yet unfamiliarwith Kafka will meet him with fullimpact in METAMORPHOSIS.YCPAC TO HEAR FINERHerman Finer, professor of po¬litical science, will speak at thenext meeting of the Young Citi¬zens PAC, Dec. 4 at 8 p.m. in Kent106. Professor Finer, a memberof the Fabian Society is the authorof “The Road to Reaction.” Hewill speak on the impending laborcrisis, and anti-labor legislationby the new congress. James Pros-ton of the. United Packing HouseWorkers will also speak.YCPAC is conducting a door todoor campaign to oust Bilbo fromCongress, enlisting interest andaction in the form of a letter bar¬rage to the Senate. On Sunday,December 8, from 3 to 6 YCPACis giving a tea dance in the eastlounge of Ida Noyes to whicheveryone is invited. game is apparently back.With the appearance of the an¬nouncement on house bulletinboards last week of the noticethat henceforward all men shouldsign in on arrival at B-J after 11p. m., a great howl of discontentarose in the entries. The noticeswere attended with as many armyand navy regulations as the mencould remember. Such things as“Captain’s mast at 1100 for viola- *tors, passes restricted to thirtypercent of the command, hats willbe worn at an angle over the righteye,” almost completely obliter¬ated the original protocol.Act Had Innocent IntentThe act is intended, accordingto the administration, to preventthe entrance into the court of anyunauthorized persons. It is alsointended to enforce the hours reg¬ulations for students of the firsttwo years of the college and forall those under eighteen years old.Its secondary result has been toantagonize nearly every man inB-J to whom the order is an in- .convenience.Many men in the residence sys¬tem have been heard plotting waysto beat the ruling. Principal ob¬jections have been raised to theprovisos that all men must signin when entering and that en¬trance must be made from therear of the building. At present,it appears that the administrationwill be adamant in its ruling.However, there would probably bea great deal less discontent if menwere only required to show theiridentification cards upon entering.The necessity of signing in seemsto be the sorest point of the wholeissue.Girls Also ArousedIn line with this manifestationof resentment from the men’sdorms toward regulation of hours,is a like movement in the women’shalls. The girls are subject to amuch more stringent regulationthan the men. This regulation isbeginning to be the center of acontroversy that can in time bevery bitter. The girls have alreadyasked for complete abolition ofhours for third- and fourth yearstudents who are over eighteen.-Far from subsiding, agitationfor less regulation will be moreand more apparent from both menand women’s dorms in the future,if all indications at present canbe believed.COll(everto aBjnday, December 2,1946 THE CHICAGO .MAROOH 11The SportUght CoedContests Play Two GamesHere This WeekBy Anson Cherryjets all get on . the ball thisek and support school activi-3.

With bleedinghearts — and shins — the Beecherteam corroborated the claim. Thescene of this bloody battle wasthe Midway field, the score: Foster—1, Beecher—0. The game, whichclosed the hockey season for thisyear, will be long remembered byseveral of the participants, notablyAnn Curry, for whom it featureda fractured fibula, and EllenPowelson who received an impres¬sive black eye.In its week long membershipdrive, W.A.A. welcomed 106 newmembers into its midst. The driveis over, but interested individualsmay obtain a membership at anytime of the year by contactingtheir house athletic representa¬tive or by applying at the officeof Ida Noyes.Harriet Martin has been re¬placed as. first vice-president ofW.A.A. by Ann Curry of Foster.Upon receipt of Martin’s resigna¬tion, Jean Fletcher, W.A.A. presi¬dent made the appointment. Annwill continue as athletic repre¬sentative from Foster to theW.A.A. board.The proposed new award basedon participation rather than out¬standing skill was voted on andpassed at the last W.A.A. execu¬tive board meeting. While detailshave yet to be worked out, it hasbeen decided that the award willbe a large W.A.A. emblem andwill be made available to thosewomen who have given service toW.A.A. and for those who haveparticipated in athletic activitiesfor four quarters.The ruling becomes effective im¬mediately and is retroactive to thefall quarter of 1945. Since W.A.A.is not active during the summerquarter, winning the award willtake a minimum of two years’participation.Table Tennis StartsOne sport remains on thefraternity and college house cal-lendar for the fall quarter, andthat of course is table tennis.

Meet TechhawksFriday NightHere we haven’t even had timeto stop shuddering over what NotreDame, Army and various other col¬leges have been doing to their sun¬dry opponents on the gridironwhen all of a sudden we find thatbasketball has crept right up onus! Nels Norgren has kept hisMaroon varsity hard at work onthe Field House hardwood court,and this afternoon we hope to seea well knit squad of bucketeers.Yes that’s right, the very firstgame of the new season will beplayed at 4 o’clock this afternoon.Our opponents for this game willbe the Y.M.C.A. College and they’llstart warming up on the FieldHouse court at about 3:30 p.m.It’s pretty hard to make anypredictions for the future withoutseeing the team in action againstanother squad, but considering thefact that we have viftually all oflast year’s varsity squad back, plusa lot of added new height, we’llgo out on a limb by saying thatwe look for a highly successfulseason. The team has also beenwell fortified this year by return¬ing veterans, and is well stockedwith speed as well as the sky¬scrapers who breathe that rarifiedozone.This game with Y.M.C.A. wasput on the schedule at the lastminute, but on Friday night at8:30 the first regular game willbe played against the Illinois TecbHawks. The Hawks are rapidlybecoming regular visitors to theMaroon sports schedule and nowthat we are out of the Big Ten,they already loom as “traditionalrivals.”The only men certain to be inthe starting lineup this afternoonare captain and forward Fred De-graw, and guard Ray Freeark. Theother forward position will prob¬ably be held by Sharp,- Podulka orPaul Zimmerman, while the cen¬ter poition is likely to fall to oneof the altitude twins, Jim Pattonor Lloyd Fons. Both stretch out toabout six foot five inches. Theother starting guard spot willprobably go to Menken, Flanaganor Walt Riley.Clothing CollectionTo End December, 8The campus clothing .collectionwhich has been in progress for thepast two weeks has been in prog¬ress for the past two weeks willend December 8, Val Clear, chair¬man of the drive has announced.Collection boxes were originallyplaced in the basement of IdaNoyes and in the lobby of theReynolds club.
