The committee appointed by I-O for thepurpose of investigating the possibilities of student gov¬ernment and of drawing up a. constitution for the newIxxiy, has now evolved a plan and will be ready to presentit to the student body in thediscernable future.The committee was formerlyheaded by Pete Ounnar, presidentof Iron Mask, who resigned thisweek because he was unable todevote adequate time to theproject. He was replaced by FredFiedler, representing thePsychology club.The first step by the commit¬tee when they undertook the jobof setting up student governmentwas to contact universities whohad similar units in operation.They particularly sought infor¬mation from schools who werelocated in metropolitan areasand who also had the problem ofcommuting students. The story was first released tocity newspapers and then handedon to students.-The primary p roblem confront¬ing the new group will be theknotty, issue of expressing stu¬dent desire to maintain the uni¬versity’s high standards in thedivisions. According to JudyPeters, committee member, somedivisional students have ex¬pressed dissatisfaction with re¬placements which have been madein their respective departments.Whatever the justification forthese grievances, it is felt thatonly a campus' wide body couldhandle such a problem.Purpose to CorrelateThe purpose of student govern „ . . „ .ment Is to correlate student ac- Bootetore Betormstivities and opinions with thoseof the administration. Inter-orgwas set up to handle this prob¬lem but it was found inadequateto meet the situation because itwasn’t sufficiently representative.The administration has expresseda desire for an organization ofthis sort, according to commit-, ^ ^tee members, because it has success The new legislaturefound instances in the past when be better able to cope withadequate liaison could not be situations.estabUshed with the bulk of the When the committee met tostudent body.

He pointed out thatunder the Smith-ConnallyAct **an injunction is not theproper remedy.”Asked about Judge T. AlanGoldsborough’s injunction deci¬sion, based on the theory that thesovereign state is not restrictedby laws prohibiting prviate actionGregory maintained that thisconcept derived from the abso¬lute monarchical power of theEnglish king. He stated that heconsidered it too technicalpoint of law on which to base adecision of such broad social im¬port.The full text of Professor Gregory’s statement to the MAROONfollows:“A dispassionate evaluation ofthe Lewis fracas reveals almostnothing but weak spots in thegovernment’s case against him.It is hard for anybody to con¬clude imder the circumstancesthat Lewis is right in what he isdoing. But it is almost impossi¬ble to maintain that he has doneanything legally wrong. Hencethe use of the injunction againsthim seems most unfortunate, in¬deed.“Lewis entered into,an agree¬ment with Krug on May 29, 1946,covering the 3300 mines in thegovernment’s technical posses¬sion. This agreement “covers forthe period of Government pos¬session the terms and conditionsof employment in respect to all’’such mines. But this agreement’’expressly preserved and incorpo¬rated all of the National Bitumin¬ous Coal Wage Agreement datedApril 11, 1945, thus includingsection- 15 thereof under which,on the performance of certainDON*T WASTE PAPE!..*BUY Salon '$OPtN STOCK LITTER PAPERUNIVERSITY of CHICAGO BOOKSTORE5802 Ellis Avenue Goyl Newl^Lip PHnt Try-ons oro'iUdy JIITs own idoo fo afibsipyou how to j>ick youp most bocoming Judy 'fi JRt lip Print shod#^Try-ons come in%o tome sbc tbrUT-tingllng thoderdB Jilfilp Prints.,..ond con^bo hodLwhertyor Ti^llInttloiNrtold*PrM»yovr- aaaaaaaeee AAA a stipulated formalities,” either.3arty may give to the other alotice in writing of the termina¬tion of the agreement, to be ef¬fective five days after the receiptof such notice.” This is whatLewis did; and it was his seem¬ing compliance with a part of thecontract which the' governmenthad enjoined.“The government arguedthat the Krug-Lewis agree¬ment in itself was not ter¬minable at all during theperiod of government posses-*sion. It also argued that suchtermination operated as asignal for all of Lewis’s min¬ers to go on strike, and, be-cadse of their custom not towork in the absence of a con¬tract, was a virtual strike callcontrary to sec. 6(a) of theSmith-Connally Act. Thisalso it asked to be enjoined.“Now the Smith-Connally Actdoes not call for injunctive reliefbut only for criminal sanctions.Hence even if Lewis has violatedthe Smith-Connally Act, which isat best only arguable, an injunc¬tion is not the proper remedy.Indeed, the request for an injunc¬tion at all—even on the basis ofa supposed breach of contract—•comes ill from a governmentwhose official policy has been todeny its judges the power to issueInjunctions against labor unionsand labor leaders because of theiractivities in peaceful labor dis¬putes.“The government claims that'this is not a labor dispute. This,of course, is, silly. Then it saysthat it is, at least, not a labordispute within the meaning ofsec. 13 of the Norris-LaGuardiaAct,” which speaks only of suchdisputes between employers andemployees, not mentioning thegovernment. But if the policy ofnot issuing labor injunctions is toprevail in general, then it shouldapply as well to government as toothers. And it looks bad whengovernment officially abjures thisposition. Indeed, there is no estab¬lished law that union may notstrike against - the government—certainly as far as technical pos¬session of this sort is covered.And insofar as the governmentrests its case on principles ofequity in general, as set forth inthe famouse case of In re Debsin particular, it is at its weakest.That case was bad even in 1895when it was decided; and it looksmuch worse in light of what hashappened since then.“Lewis has played his cardscagily and has done nothingto give the government ahook on which to hang a realairtight case. As far as theinjunction procedings with itscontempt angle goes, he seemsto hold all of the aces.Whether the government willinsist as a showdown before. the Supreme Court is any¬body’s guess. But if it does,it seems certain that Lewiswill win.“All of which doesn’t meanthat Lewis is not behaving veryfoolishly. For he is building upsuch a backlog of hate through¬out the country that- as a resultthe new Congress may go wild incurtailing the economic powers oi'all unions.”THE CmCAGO MAROON Friday, December tClll;ffa0ii iKturoonThe University Officiol Student NewspoperACP All-American, 1945, 194SPublished every Friday during the academic year by THE CHICAGOMAROON, an independent student organization of the University of Chicago.Member Associated Collegiate Press and Intercollegiate Press.BOARD OF CONTROLRay PopletL Editor-in-ChiefJames Barnett, Business ManagerHarlan Blake, Staff MemberNews EditorFeature Editor..,Dramatics Editor THE EXECUTIVE EDITORSManaging Editor....Bill HeyHelen TarlowBetty Stearns ...

I assume the proponents of this viewwould not have'us wait until all the obstacles to peace were eliminated,for that would be waiting for a condition in which government as weknow it is unnecessary. If I understand them correctly, they wouldurge us to clean out only the “basic” causes.Ready objections to this would be: (1) that we are a long wayfrom merely isolating these causes, let alone knowing what to do aboutthem; and (2) that if we follow this course, would enough of us everagree at one time that conditions were ripe for a world government,that the causes were sufficiently removed, to take effective action?These, however, leave untouched the objection which insists that unlessthese causes are removed, no world government is possible.The question at bottom seems to be: Assuming that we have, s^y,twenty years before the next war in which to work for peace, and thata world government, once formed, can give us that peace, it is morelikely (1) that we can remove by then the basic disruptive forces toset up an effective government, or (2) that we can establish at leasta peace-preserving government without first clearing away the basicobstacles to a true world brotherhood? The former, of course, is pre¬ferable; it is fundamental, the latter, superficial. But the questionat this crucial time is not which is better but which is possible. It isnecessary above all that there be a civilization to improve twentyyears from now.This question cannot be definitely proved either way. Our choicecan be guided only by feelings gained from our own interpretationof history.For myself, I feel that it is more possible for a group of people,fearing that they will be shot, to organize themselves and merely takea gun away from a man, than to suddenly eliminate the reasons hemight have for wanting to use it. In the same manner, I believe thatit is more possible for people all over the world, fearing atomic andbacterial destruction, to organize a government outlawing war, thanto eliminate within twenty, or even a hundred years the reasons warsare fought.What is your feeling?Bob LandwehrPower Politics andMonday s ElectionPower politics is not dead. Hourly news reports giveadequate proof of that.. While the U. S. A. and the SovietUnion both maintain the largest peacetime armies in worldhistory—the threat of war is not dead either.Only for a brief interval will the peoples of the world,exhausted by vicious global combat, remain entranced bythe spell of peace, strongly occupied with the pursuits ofpeace.To expect things to remain the way they are—thepeople tired of war, politicians loudly orating agai^t thehorrors of war, the most critically weakened nations toremain feeble and inert—would be vain and foolish.The dogs of war have not been slain. They’ve beenwounded, and for the time being they are hibernating.International misunderstanding, in crucial places, isspreading. International good will, especially with ourmost dangerous potential enemy—Russia—has dwindledto hypocritical smiles and unconvincing handshakes.People who say that war is “impossible” are basingtheir statements on dreams. But people who say that we canlessen the likelihood of war by working against it—suchpeople are basing their statements on solid good sense.Ambitious military leaders in any nation are amongthe factors which inalterably lead to war. Heavy arma¬ments, suspicion, misunderstanding—all three are fuelfor war.Against these lethal factors, which are very muchalive today, we may balance others that favor peace. Pow¬erful organizations are growing, giving form and forceto a deep-rooted hatred of war, and of the corruption, lies,moral weakness, political disease, tyranny, lust for powerand greed that are the common ingredients of war.The world student conference which met last Augustin Prague, in the heart of Central Europe, found studentsassembled from 40 nations, bending their efforts to breakthe barriers of distance, language and culture that sep¬arate peoples and set up a kind of trans-national under¬standing.The labors facing this organization are many andsevere, demanding seriousness, intelligence and devotionon the part of members.At the same time, the organization needs strong, en¬lightened support from student bodies.The University of Chicago campus will be the sceneof a national conference during the holidays, meeting toform a permanent American association designed to workwith the international group.Four out of eighteen U of C student nominees will beelected Monday as representatives to the conference. Thestudent body is duty-bound to take an interest in thiselection and make certain that the four candidates chosenmerit victory, and have 'the political talent, sincerity, un¬derstanding and drive essential to their task. HOW DO THEY PRESENT MARX?It has oeen the understanding of this writer that among theeducational purposes of the University of Chicago is comprehensiveand open-minded appraisal of the doctrines included in its curriculum.The present letter is written in the belief that this purpose is, in oneinstance, at least, being subverted, by the substitution of indoctrina¬tion for education.Specific reference is made to the recent treatment of the teach¬ings of Karl Marx in the Social Sciences 2 course. Whatever opinionsindividuals may hold on the subject, it must generally be concededthat Marxism is not a system to be discarded lightly. This, neverthe¬less, is what the Social Sciences 2 staff—with one or two notable ex¬ceptions—has attempted to do. Talk of “fallacious premises” neversatisfactorily demonstrated to be fallacious; reference to inconsisten¬cies “too difficult or technical to be considered in this course, but takemy word, Marx introduces extraneous arguments”; jocular avowalsthat “I am only here as an expositor, my friend”, with no seriousattempt at exposition—are these to be called teaching, or sophisticdevices utilized to avoid facing embarrassingly real issues?If the works of Karl Marx are to be included in the subject matterof the Social Sciences 2 course in the future, it is suggested that thelecturer make a sincere effort to expound the subject, and not “sellMarx short”, even as he adjures his students not to do so. If visitinglecturers are to be introduced “loading the dice” on one side of anargument, let the other side be given a fair hearing. If criticism is tobe made, let it be not vague oratorical sleight-of-hand, but directattack on clearly defined problems—problems to which, as in the casediscussed here, it well behooves every one to have the right answer,or better, the realization that perhaps there is no one right answer.Credit the students with the small amount of intelligence that en¬titles them to a realistic consideration of the works they study.Bigelow Watts, Jr.GUEST EDITORIALS AND THE EDITORIAL PACEInasmuch as the Maroon is the official student newspaper onthis campus, we have a right to demand an editorial page, at least,that resembles something other than a frantic effort to plagiarize somehigh school weekly. Reluctantly leaving aside the labored analogy thatpasses for the regular editorial, I would like to consider the “GuestEditorial”—although the precise character of a “guest” whose nameappears on the masthead is rather mysterious.Instead of the well-reasoned, original thinking that we mightexpect from a Guest Editorial, the column of November 22 is an in¬coherent and banal rehash of similar material that has appeared re¬cently in many magazines. It is hard to criticize such a mass of un¬proved assumptions, but perhaps the topic sentences of Mr. Siegal’sthree paragraphs will serve as foci.“The aim of the interlopers (Communists—hk) is most assuredlyto discredit moderate democratic action”. Any child in a Humanitiescourse knows that the assumption of the point to be proven is strictlybelow the belt; here it is stated as a bald fact rather than as theunsupported opinion it is. And the pontifical assumption of exclusiverighteousness is disgusting.“Complete freedom ... is bound up with political democracyand at least some vestige of free enterprise.” This is a crushing blowto those of us who believe in Socialism, but here again we find not areasoned defense of capitalism and its “freedoms”; rather it is a flatrepetition of the Free Enterprise slogans of the bigger monopolies.Mr. Siegal is living in the nineteenth century, if at all. As for politicaldemocracy, it is an issue like wife-beating—at any rate it has manyvarieties, some of which are being enforced by European . . . Com¬munists!The last paragraph is based on the assertion that “the Americanpeople have demonstrated that they stand four square against evena hint of bolshevism.” That this is the orthodox Republican analysisof the elections is, of course, indisputable. But Mr. Siegal might atleast note the wide range of opinion which holds that the Democraticdefeat was due precisely to the rejection of the “Roosevelt” programby Truman and his henchmen. This would.be contrary to the Siegalmethod, although the whole point, even if true, would prove nothingabout the question of cooperation with Communists.Howard Kaminsky Don't Forget theC-DANCETomorrow NightAfter the BasketballCameIn Ida NoyesCIVIC THEATER-.,MATINilTODAY 2:3tTiM inMUf* bmuHENRYVTjw P*^ Oalhr (Int. tunj. an ratww.a.^IohjEv«,.>m8.j.»o.

And we are not ashamedto tell our brothers of our sorrow,for together with our suffering,there is . . . our courage never tosubmit or yield. The world shallknow how we struggle and how wesuffer.On August 10, 1945, the worldwas triumphant over Nazi andFascist Aggression. This is worth rejoicing. But how is the state ofChina after the victory? It is ageneral aspect that governmentalofficials, who came to take overthe occupation areas, embezzlewhat should be returned to thegovernment or people.They set fire to the godownsunder their charge so that theycan steal the contents and reportthat they are burned to ashes.Collaborationists prior to the vic¬tory became heroic undergroundworkers after the victory . . . Thegovernment incessantly issuesbanknotes to support the army inorder to carry on the civil war.Everywhere In towns and cities we see the bankruptcy and closingdown of factories and firms . . .In the whole country thirty mil¬lion famine-stricken people actual-we see the bankruptcy and closingly stand on the bordering line oflife and death, simply becauseurgent demand for army rationshave robbed them of their lastgrain of rice and conscriptions byforce, for carrying on the civil war,have made desolate their vast till¬ing lands.. . . The budget of governmentshows us that about 60 per cent isto go to military purposes and only4.7 per cent for education. Whata painfully ridiculous proportion,especially when 90 per cent of theChinese people are illiterate! . . .... (When) the civil war brokeout, the people of China were will¬ing to leave their homes to shedtheir blood and to ^suffer in athousand ways in order to freethemselves from Japanese aggres¬sion. But none of us is willing tosatisfy the minority of Fascistgovernment officials who hold allthe sway over the nation.The civil war, as it is, is alreadydevastating our country, ruiningour industry and rural economy. If it continues, it will not onlybring the whole nation to utterdestruction, but also lead to athird world war ... A third isforming if we do not stop it atonce. Then came General Mar¬shall, your special envoy to China.His arrival supplied us with newhope for, coming from k nationthat loves liberty, democracy andpeace, he is a herald of peace, apilot in the ship of democracy.So, 32 universities and schoolsjoined to welcome him. We hopedto extend our respect and informhim of the true wishes of theChinese people.But as the students stood inline 'waiting to see him, several“scores of secret police came andtreated us with severe beating andinsult. Of this painful spectacleof the Fascist power of China atwork, Mr. Holland Elliot of theWorld Studen^Relief associationwas an eye-witness. Now do youunderstand, our friends, that herein China we have not even thefreedom to welcome an Americanenvoy who is to bring peace to us?. . .

The preparatory commit¬tee consisted of representativesfrom some 40 universities andschools. But the Shanghai Stu¬dent Bodies’ association was estab¬lished, the number of universitiesand schools that participatedjumped to 98. Now the number ofuniversity and school members hasmounted to 143 ...In order to carry on the civilwar, the government resorted to“the full levy of tax” and “theconscription of young men.” Thegovernment has to spend so muchmoney in army funds that it leaveseducation out of consideration . . .Many of the teachers are now sopoor that they can feed themselves(Mily with rotten horse beans whichare given to them in ration . . .. . . The cause of our economiccrisis is too evident to need ex¬planation. We can wait no longer.We must stand up against thishateful, cruel civil war that shat¬ters the happiness of our people.On June 23, we participated inthe great anti-civil war demon¬stration. More than a hundredthousand people were present. . .The sun was scorching. But wewere not alone, for all along thestreets through which we paraded,shopmen and citizens voluntarilysupplied us with water to drink.It is sufficient to prove theyWere behind us in this anti-civilwar movement . . . When our rep¬resentatives arrived in Nankingthey were, systematically attackedand beaten and a number of themwere seriously injured . . ,The minority of Fascist govern¬ment officials seem bent oncrushing the vast peace-lovingpeople. In Humming, one politicalassassination ' followed another.Professors Le Kung Puo and WenI Tuo were both democrats highlyvenerated by the students inHumming and Chungking. Theirdeaths aroused much wrath andlamentation.In Shanghai, schools receivedinstructions to expel certain stu¬dents. These students were goodin conduct and scholastic work.The only thing that might haveincurred displeasure was thatthey had participated in thedemonstration . . . Troops of fivehundred armed soldiers sur¬rounded the National Pu-TanUniversity and illegally arrestedfive students. The University pro¬tested, but so far* nothing hasbeen heard of these students . . .People of Shanghai are living un¬der a reign of terror.The hope of peace is faint . . ,But we declare again our firm de¬termination in fighting for (it).And may we express our thankfulapproval for your government’sjudicious decision of the discon¬tinuation of the supply of ammu¬nition to China. For if this sup¬ply goes on it will only encouragecivil war.Further, we wish to take theliberty of communicating to youour opinion that your armedforces in China have every possi¬bility of getting entangled in ourcivil war. It is not that we doubtyour good intentions, but as suchentanglement may bring aboutvery serious consequences, wehave to advise that these armedforces should withdraw ... Aswar in China may ultimatelymean war in the world we, as twopeace-loving peoples of the world,must cooperate in keeping peace.Here in China, we are not weHacquainted with your life in thestates, and we are very eager toknow.

HARDINGJames Gray, guest lecturer in creative writing, is £medium tall, graying middlewesterner whose pixie - likesmile is reflected in his daily column reviewing books foithe Chicago Daily News.Mr. Gray arrived in Chicago this Fall after more thantwo decades o‘f reviewing booksfor the St. Paul Dispatch andPioneer Press. The Universityseized this opportunity to presshim into service teaching a classIn advanced creative writing, con¬fusingly called Writing for Pub¬lication this quarter. But at hisinsistence the title has beenClianged, and Mr. Gray will teachCieative Writing for the rest ofthe year.The class of about 20 con¬tains mostly ex-GIs, *'the firsttime I’ve had a plurality ofmen.” Various works are inprogress, novels, short stories,a play and a movie scenario.Work is read in class andeveryone joins in analysis, fid-lowing Gray’s theory that theway to teach writing is to dealwith specific details of spe¬cific projects.Maxwell Perkins’ relationshipas editor to Thomas Wolfe’s workis an example of what he strivesfor. So far no published workshave resulted from the class, asnone of the projects are • farenough along.As far his reviewing tasks. Graysays that in Chicago you “havethe literary life and eat it too,’’referring to the numerous partieshe attends in the line of duty.“I’m working harder than everbefore. Though I’ve always writ¬ten a daily column I’ve never hada Christmas section before. Prod¬ding author is quite a job. AndI’ve never taught a course thatran a full year. But I enjoy theteaching very much, the sessionsare always so stimulating.”Mr. Gray is saddened about theoutlook for his own writing. Atthe moment he has a contract foranother book in the Rivers ofAmerica series, about the St.Croix, but sees little hope offinishing it soon.Mr. Gray is also looking forsomeone who reads Danish—his novel “Wings of GreatDesire” has just been pub¬lished in Danish under thetitle by which it was first pub¬lished in Sweden, “Life isWorth Living.” “It is very cu¬rious to see one of your ownworks and not be able to readanything but your own name.I’m dying to know what itsays on the jacket.”Mr. Gray spent three monthslast summer in Hollywood. “Likeall writers who have been tjierethree months, I want to reform itfrom the ground up. My basiccriticism of Hollywood is that ittreats writers as though they werepart of an assembly line. They areexpected to' be brisk and busy andfit things together. You just can’tfeel creative.”He is very enthusiastic aboutthe University of Chicago. “As one.of my students said, I am sur¬prised and delighted to find aplace where it is respectable totalk about ideas. It seems ideasare in a furious foment here.”In writing a “Book of theDay” column it is inevitableTeresa DolanDancing SchoolLeam to Daneo NoteHYDE PARK 3080BEGINNERS' CLASSES—8:15 - 11:00 P.M 50eRHUMBA—WednesdoysWALTZ—Monday*FOX TROT—^Tuesdoys, SundoysTANGO—SoturdoysPRIVATE LESSONSDAILY—11 A.M. . 11 P.M.1208 E. 63RD STREET JAMES GRAYthat news value influences thechoice of books to be reviewed,he said. “The newspapersdon’t pretend to be scholarlypublications and it is rathermore likely that popular bookswill get attention. I try tovary the selection so thatthere will be some fiction,biography, historical workeach week.“Of course I read more booksthan I review. I can read an aver¬age size book in three or fourhours, because I read a paragraphat a time. Sitting next to a womanon the* IC one day I was amazedthat all the way from 47th toRandolph she read only one page.I’m used to reading a book a day.“I have tried rereading veryslowly books which I’d reviewedand I’ve found that my judgmentdoesn’t change. Of course myjudgment may be bad, and mystandards, but my original esti¬mation doesn’t change.“Of course I much more en¬joy reading books slowly, butI can only do that when I’m'on vacation. It is hard to bewholly sympathetic when youread fast, but I decided longago that if reading were mybusienss, I’d better go at it inbusiness like fashion.”. Mr. Gray has published fivenovels: “The Penciled Frown”;“Shoulder the Sky”; “Wake andRemember”; “Wings of Great De¬sire”; “Vagabond Path.”His other works include ‘Pine,Stream and Prairie,” “The Illinois”for the Rivers of America seriesand “On Second Thought,” pub¬lished this fall by the Universityof Minnesota Press.

I. ver¬sion of Hamlet at the ErlangerTheatre. He presents a Hamletshorn of a few of its most famousscenes; mounted and costumedwith a flavor of the 1850’s,' butone which still retains an incom¬parable magnificance.Doing just about everythingtheatrically possible to make hisHamlet credible as well as exitingEvans has added organ music tosome of the scenes. For this pro¬duction seems to be one designedto appeal more to a popular audi¬ence than to one interested in theplay’s subtleties. Evans is con¬cerned more with answering ques¬tions than with asking them.There is no- doubt left as to thelove exisiting between Hamletand Ophelia: Gertrude turns fromClaudius before the end of theplay; never for an instant do yoususpect that Hamlet is mad.As an actor Evans gives asteady, restrained performance,although somehow I could neverquite believe that he was Hamlet.The shows and trappings of theman were there, but even withhis elegant . fashion of speaking verse, Evans was almost alwaysthe shadow and seldom the form.Sitting in the presence ofShakespeare, Evans, and MikeTodd respectively, few people inthe audience were willing to ad¬mit they were witnessing highlyrefined ham. Hamlet’s death, oneof the more dubious bits of actingin the show, seemed to be com¬pletely accepted; only one youngboy behind me let out a disap¬pointed moan. Just as the playwas drawing to a close came thecrowning bit of sensationalism;the stage had a kind of purpleirredescence; Evans was beingcarried off by four soldiers, andthe rest should have been silence—but no. Bom on the electronsof someone’s bad taste a glaringwhite spotlight was focused onEvans head as it reclined on asoldier’s shoulder.In one sense the Todd-Evansproduction was highly effective,in another sense it was botchedby gaudiness. Like an importedsuit of clothing advertised in aclearance sale, Hamlet has beenI sold, but ow, what a falling offI is there. Religion...Maccabean TalkTo Be Ciren ByWaldo FrankWaldo Prank, noted Americanauthor and critic, will deliver theprincipal address at the annualMaccabean Festival of the Hillelfoundation Sunday at 4 p.m. atRockefeller Chapel. jAuthor and editor of more than50 works including a best-seller, •“Island in the Atlantic,” Prank'has gained an international repu-'tation for his synthesis of imagi-}native literature with cultural Icriticism.

Al¬though mechanically ground pigmentparticles can be made extremely fine,they are not nearly as small as the par¬ticles originally precipitated.A few years ago a program of researchwas started by Du Pont scientists totry to take advantage of the very fineparticles formed by precipitation. Theyproposed to eliminate the drying andgrinding processes entirely — to trans¬fer the microscopically sized, precipita¬ted, hydrated pigment particles directlyfrom the mother solution to the lacquervehicle.Extended study by organic and col¬loid chemists, physicists and chemicalengineers finally solved this problem.The procedure consists of mixing thewet pigment in a heavy-duty mill withwater-wet nitrocellulose,dibutyl phthal-ate and castor oil. Dibutyl phthalateforms a colloidal solution with nitro¬cellulose. The colloid absorbs the castoroil and pigment, but eliminates themajor portion of the water as a sepa¬rate insoluble phase. A Nmw Range of Color EffectsAfter the method of transferring wetpigment particles had been established,the second development in this programwas the practical utilization of precipi¬tated ferric hydroxide. Although it hadbeen used for a long time as an inter¬mediate for the manufacture of dry fer¬ric oxide pigment, ferric hydroxide inthe wet form as a pigment had been ap¬plied only to a very limited extent andits true value had gone unrecognized.When used in conjunction with the newprocess, wet ferric hydroxide produceda lacquer of unusual brilliance and dur¬ability. In combination with other pig¬ments, a whole new range of color effectsbecame possible.Because of their extremely small pig¬ment particle-size, the Metalli-Chromesare somewhat translucent, having a dis¬tinctive, soft innerglow. This lustrousdepth is further enhanced by introducinginto the film aluminum particles whichact like mirrors to reflect the light with¬in the finish.Not only are these new lacquer fin¬ishes more lustrous and more beautiful,but.they are also more durable, as provedby four years of laboratory and road-testing. ’’Duco” Metalli-Chrome lac¬quer is a worthy newcomer to the ever- lengthening list of developments bymen of Du Pont that have heli>ed in themass-production of automobiles and thecreation of new industries, new markets,new jobs for millions of Americans./ ^ ^Questions College Men askabout working with Du Pont .WILL I FIND COMPETITIONDIFFICULT AT DU PONT?It is to be expected that there will becompetition in an organization whereevery effort is made to select the besttrained and most promising graduates.However, such competition is not de¬liberate or is it on an elimination basis.New employees are given every oppor¬tunity to grow in the organization.

Most of the time, Be¬chet had the lead on his sax andin order to be heard, Mezz stayedup in the high register.The concert was primarily ablues concert, beginning withBlues at Moonrise by my favoriteChicago drummer, Ken Smithand Becht on soprano sax. ThenMezz, Sidney and Ken were,oined by Jimmy Dudley, alto;Joe Rumora, guitar; Ray Dixon,piano and Mickey Simms, bass,for Sheik of Araby. Simms estab¬lished himself on this number asan extra fine bassist. He andSmith gave fine support to therest of the group throughout theentire performance.On Black and Blue, the sopranosax lead alternated between trum¬pet and sax techniques. Mezzplayed a fine backing for Bechet,IN THE LOWER REGISTERS ofhis clary.Without Dudley, the six menplayed Ole Miss, known to manyof you as Bugle Call Rag. Thisnumber was tops for the wholeconcert, featuring the best coord¬ination between Bechet and Mezz.The second set, played by therhythm section, fronted by Dud¬ley, was a complete failure withthe exception of the drum andbass duo. The piEuio was con¬ventional, except when Dixonimitated Max Miler’s whole toneninth chords. Every once in awhile, the guitarist woke upenough to take an easy but con¬ventional solo.Dudley, on alto tax, had nicetone and a few good ideas, butit takes a lot of playing for thiscolumnist to like a saxman. Hemade a mistake in playing theconventional sax tunes, such as,Tea for Two and Body and SoulHe did. everything from re-bopto classical obligatto’s to makeBody and Soul different from theHawkins version of the same, butonce in a while “the Hawk” creptout of his horn. As a matter offact, we would rather have heardmore Hawkins and less re-bopand scale technique.For the last set, and with fan¬fare bellowing. Studs Terkel, ourboy, announced that Bechet wouldplay Summertime. As is usual withthis kind of thing, it is our con¬sidered opinion that this was theworst number that Bechet didthroughout the entire concert. Heloused it up with tag ends andscale runs that could very wellhave been left off.INT HOUSENEWSThis afternoon the French clubwill hold a meeting at 4 p.m. inRoom A.

R.There has been a great deal of to-do lately over thelighting situation in Harper. It is claimed by some thatyou can’t read in the reading room. A lot of silly theorieshave been advanced as to why this is so. Some seem to thinkthat there are not enough windows; others place the blamethe tallow shortage—candlesonjre not to be had; still othersclaim that most of the light istbsorbed by the confusion of light-meters scattered throughout theroom in the course of the day.

Fortunately, how¬ever, sanity prevailed: I decidedthis was important enough tomerit my personal attention, soI went and investigated myself.The fruits of my enterprise werereally anything but sensational. Asa matter of fact, all this panickyconcern over the eyesight ofHarper library enthusiasts is justso much hogwash. There is nolight shortage in Harper readingroom. There is no reading room.How so many people could havebeen bamboozled about such anobvious empirical fact is beyondme. But I assure you it is so. Letme tell you.Advice, Crowbars, ThreadI went over there yesterdayafternoon and asked where thereading room was. I was immedi¬ately swamped with all sorts ofinstructions, advice, admonitions,diagrams, keys, helmetlamps,crowbars, and as an added precau¬tion, a spool of thread. This leftme a little nonplussed, but I setout bravely on my quest. I spentthe first few hours groping myway into empty vice-presidents’offices and elevator shafts, even¬tually winding up in what ap¬peared to be an abandoned stonequarry. I ran up and down inter¬minable flights of steps trying tofind a door that led out of theplace or even a crack in the wallI could use my pickaxe on, but Itwas no dice. The Run Around , .(At Minnesota)By BUD SEBOLDThis week, we find ourselvesfighting off the relentless cold ofMinnesota for a look at the“Gopher” college, and a word ofwhat its collegiates and coeds areup to.Minnesota students witnessed astrange sight several weeks ago,when Sanford hall, one of thewomen’s dormitories caught fire.A numerous phalanx of coeds cladin scanty lingerie rushed out intothe crisp morning air to furnishan unexpected surprise for themale population of the campus.The evacuation was performedadmirably well with the exceptionof one girl who reluctantly refusedto leave the burning building,claiming she had a bad cold.President Morril of the Univer¬sity of Minnesota has issued astatement against the practice ofanti-semitism on the campus. Thiswas the result of the finding ofseveral anti-semetic posters on thegrounds of the university. One wasquoted as saying: “Hail to Min¬neapolis, capital of anti-Semit¬ism.’*The women’s physical educationdepartment at Minnesota has in¬itiated a program for streamlin¬ing the figures of some of the co¬eds. It might be a wise suggestionfor some of the Chicago girls toinvestigate the possibilitiesThe Minnesota fraternities andsororities held a colorful house¬decorating contest for their Home¬coming about two weeks ago. TheMinnesota chapter of Phi DeltaTheta won the contest with theirso called “super-du” (Super Suds?)theme. The second place was takenby the D.U.’s who enhanced theirhouse with “Wolf Gal” and “LilAbner” decorations.This week brings forth anotherinteresting episode in the life ofKilroy. It seems that the Minne¬sota students became bored withthe monotony of the tradition that“Kilroy was here**. So, they de¬cided to put an end to it by buryinghim in effigy. The burial ceremonywas a torch-lit procession whichmarched from one side of the cam¬pus to the other before halting toplant the earthly remains of thisnationally known figure.HI-HAT CLUB...MARVIN SCHROEDERProprietor A DrinhgA EntertainmentA Food1150 EAST 55TH STREET•OnUD UNDa AUIHOMIY OT DW COCA-COU COOTAHr iTCHICAGO COCA-COLA BOTTLING COMPANY The Music StandBy EDWARD KAUFMANWhen the Stuyvesant Quartet concluded the Autumnquarter of University concerts Tuesday evening in Mandelhall, the music of a most remarkable creative genius wasbrought to life — the music of Bela Bartok.To view a man of Bartok’s stature and his art on anyplane but the most fundamentalis totally impossible. Bartok wasa great creative thinker whoseideas manifest themselves in theform of profound musical patterns.For Bartok, musical creation wasthe synthesis of abstract elementsin a totally new and abstract way.In his music, nothing is fabri¬cated; all parts of the whole existinevitably because of the natureof the whole. Bartok utters nomessage other than that whichcan be demonstrated through therealm of absolute music. As sucha creator, Bela Bartok will even¬tually be reckoned as an intenseand powerful force on contempo¬rary art, and an artist who ranksamong the most profound of alltime.Evasive on the SurfaceIn particular, his second quar¬tet performed on this occasion,appears somewhat evasive on thesurface. However, Bartok employsthe four voices of the quartet asindependent entities, producing aneffect of intimacy, depth andstrong sontrapuntal action. ’Thesecond movement. Allegro MoltoCappricioso, is in dynamic con¬trast to the opening Moderate,and tends to change abruptly inmood, although it .maintains itsenergy and charge^ throughout.'The quartet closes with an ethe¬real, almost forbidding Lento, inwhich the four voices seem to pur¬sue their own way, but remainunited by their penetrating mood.Mozart’s G major quartet,Kochel 387, preceeded the Bartokcomposition and served as the cur¬tain raiser for the program. ’Theprolific Mozart produced some re¬markable chamber music, andcertainly this quartet is a supremeexample of the master at hisgreatest moments. The MenuettoAllegretto is not the graceful dancethat one might expect, but ratheran intense and unique human ex¬pression, bordering close to a fu-gate construction, and enhancedby a powerful Trio. In the thirdmovement, an Andante Cahtabile,Mozart reached into the farthestdepths of the human soul to offersome of tha richest, purest andmost deeply felt music that thiscreative genius was capable of pro¬ducing. The concert closed withBeethoven’s familiar A majorquartet, opus 18, No. 5. The won¬ders of Beethoven’s quartets, in¬cluding this one from his earliestcreative period, require little com¬ment; let it suffice that Beethovenwas obviously in his most naturalelement when it came to quartetwriting.Stuyvesant Was Letdown’The Stuyvesant Quaret, SylvanShulman and Bernard Robbins,violin, Ralph Hersch, viola, andAlan Shulman, ’cello, effected theonly letdown of the evening.

It is alull which won’t be broken untilthe advent of the interfraternityhardwood season beginning inJanuary. With only a few ping-pong matches here and there tobreak the calm, a breathing spellis gained in which one may lookover the entire field of fraternitysports participation and see howthings shape up in general.Point System InitiatedThe entire program is being co¬ordinated by a system of scoringbased on participation and rel^a-tive placement in the differentsports as they are played through¬out the year. Different sports aregiven different ratings accordingto various values of participation.For instance, 60 points are givenfor entry into an A touchbalhleague, 30 for a B league entry,40 for a swimming meet, and soon. The present leader of the pointparade is Psi Upsilon with a totalof 210 points gained primarilyfrom their capture of the twotouchball championships.Further back along the line arethe consistent and ever-threate.n-ing D. U.’s with 175 markers,garnered from a second, a thirdand a fourth place finish. Closebehind with 170 are the hot andcold Phi Psis, who made up fortwo fourths in touchball bysweeping the swimming meet. ThePhi Sigs'are keeping their fingersin the pie with 150 counters, whilefar down the trail come the Dekeswith 110, the Alpha Delts with105, the ZBT’s with an even 100,and the Betas, Pi Lams, Sig Chis,Phi Gams, and Phi Delts with 90apiece. At the end of the year, avery scrumptious trophy is to beawarded to the total point cham¬pion.There are only two table tennismatches to report since the lastissue of the Maroon hit the news¬stands. The Phi Psis took the Dekesmeasure 9 to 0, and the Phi Deltslikewise whitewashed the ZBT’s.At present only Phi Sigma Delta,Sigma Chi and Delta Upsilon re¬main undefeated, but this groupis certain to dwindle, as the lattertwo meet sometime this week.Hoop Tourney SoonBasketball play starts at the be¬ginning of the winter quarter withboth an A and B league in com¬petition. With the influx of somany veterans any forecast wouldbe ridiculous, but the D. U.’s, one'of last year’s top contenders aresure to put another strong t?amon the floor. The Be^as, led byJerry Scheidler, are the most con¬sistent when it comes to training,and if the old adage that practicemakes perfect is true, they shouldfigure quite strongly in the finalstandings. The Psi U’s, despite the |handicap of having loaned four,men to the Varsity should be fairlystrong. So should the Phi Psis who-are going to have plenty of heightto throw around.Track and a possible billiardsmatch will aiso come off duringthe winter quarter, while springwill see participation in softball.Volleyball and tennis. Incidentally,varsity athletes will be able toaid their fraternity in its questsfor total points. For each varsityaward winner within a house, tenadditional points are given to thatbouse. All of which points to alg)irited race for the point cham¬pionship and a year of fun for alleoncemed.

CoedContestsBy VLACKInvariably the notable lack ofschool spirit at Chicago is blamedon the a^Jministration, the oblig¬ing absence of a football team, andthe relatively unsuccessful effortsof the various other athleticteams. The plaintive wall usuallyruns along the same lines — ifwe had a team that won some¬thing once in a while . . We havea good basketball team this win¬ter, a team tl^at shows very defi¬nite promise. But our boys, likeany other group of athletes, wanta little recognition and studentbody backing.Cheerleaders NeededOne way that backing can bemanifested is by the spiritedcheering of the game spectat<M's.Organized cheering is impossiblewithout competent direction andinspiration. Only part of the in¬spiration and, of course, none ofthe direction can be supplied bythe team; that is the function ofa w^l organized group of cheer¬leaders.This much discussed lack .ofschool spirit has been made par¬ticularly evident by the recentlack of response to the call forcheerleaders. Cheerleading, tradi¬tionally a feminine honor, at anyother school is regarded as an im¬portant thing; being a cheerfead-er is considered an accomplish¬ment, the feminine equivilent ofbeing on the team, and the p)osi-tion carries with it status andprestige on campus. There is noreason why that should not betrue here. Whether or not Chi¬cago has good cheerleaders or noneat all depends on the turnout onTuesday nights at 7:30 in the Idagym. It’s up to you.WAA Dinner December 12That there ^re some exceptionsto the usual stonily indifferent wo>men students is evidenced by theturnouts at W.A.A. functions.
