E.With the return of men to ourhitherto cloistered campus, thereis occurring a noticeable renais¬sance of interest in the feminineart of fashion. The era of blue-jeans has passed and bustles areplaying a return engagement,spotlighted by the first campus¬wide style show since pre-PearlHarbor days.Sigma is leading the movementwith a coke party and fashionshow to be given Monday andTuesday afternoons, February 3and 4, from three until five. In¬cluding refreshments, the admis¬sion charge is 25 cents plus fed¬eral tax. Proceeds of the showwill be donated to the Commun¬ity Chest fund; tickets will beon sale at the office in Ida Noyeshall, the information desk in thePress building, and can be pur¬chased from any member of theSigma club.The clothes to be featured area hand-picked group from CarsonPirie, Scott, and Company, andwere selected with the assistanceof students on campus for cer¬tain U. of C. activities andsocial events.Mademoiselle’s midwesteditor, Nancy-Leigh Dering,will' be featured as guestcommentator and will pre¬sent the clothes within aframework of a pantomine-story on an idealized week¬end of campus activities.Among the models, all U. of C.women, will be the queen of In¬ter-Fraternity, the Sweetheart ofSigma Chi, the August 26 Lifecover-girl, and Miss University ofChicago of 1946.Tables for groups of six ormore may be reserved for eitherday by calling Margaret Watkinsat FAIrfax 0085.NU PI SIGMAS GIVE TEA;PLAN ALUMNI GROUPNu Pi Sigma, .senior women’shonoray society, will give its 51stanniversary tea for its alumnaeon Sunday from 3:30 to 6 p.m.,ill tiit Ida Noyes library.All alumnae of Nu Pi Sigma liv¬ing in Illinois and nearby stateshave been Invited to attend.

Pullcup of coffee and join us, won’t you? ^One of the important things on the aagenda this week was Ouhand fraternity initiations. Clubs initiating were: Alpha Chi TheatAlpha Epsilon, Delta Sigma, Pi Delta Phi, Quadrangler. Sigma, TauSigma, Wyvern. The fraternities initiating were: Alpha Delta PhiPhi Kappa Psi, Psi Upsilon, Zeta Beta Tau. Our heartiest conf-raUulations to all new initiates. ‘In case you have forgotten, which we doubt, this is the weekwhen low-cut formals and soup and fish are dragged out of the mothballs. You guessed it, Inter-Club Formal, held this year at the Saddleand Cycle Club, is Friday, January 24. EDDIE JAMES and his or¬chestra, a grand march and a Tribune photographer will be theadded attractions. James, it seems, is a cinch; the other two attractionshowever, have a peculiar history. ELLEN BRANSKY called the Tribto ask if they were going to have a photographer on hand for thefestivities at I-C. The gist of the conversation went something likethis:Ellen: “You’re going to have a photographer at the dance, aren’tyou?”'Trib. Society Editor: “Are you going to have a queen?”“NO.”“Is there a committee?”“NO.”“Is the dance commemorating any special anniversary?”“NO.”“Is there going to be any celebrity on hand?”“Well . . . no.”“Are you going to have a Grand March?”“YES!”Rumor has it that no Tribune, no Grand March.Vital statistics for the week are: the marriage of BILL SERVICE,Phi Gam, to JERRY MAC DOWELL last Tuesday. Almost as vital astatistic as the marriage was the fact that the brothers gave a cham¬pagne party for BILL at the U. T. the night before. “Have my tailspressed. Meadows, I’m going over to the C-shop for a cup of coffee.”NATALIE WAECHTER announced her engagement to Pi L^naJOE GOLDSMITH. Pinnings we have heard of during the week areMortar Board PAT LYNCH to Psi U WALT HEFFRON and Chi RhoMURIEL NOMLAND to Phi Psi BILL MARLOWE.A full week end of parties began with the ZBT closed dance onFriday last. The pledges, clever fellows, gave the party for actives whogot a little more than they expected. It seems that when the activesand their dates arrived the doors were locked; how'ever, to make upfor this small oversight the pledges had placed a ladder at a con¬venient window. Later in the evening they gave a skit showing theactives as they appeared from a pledges eye view. The actives looka dim view. The pledges were initiated regardless.In the same vein, the Sigma Chi pledges gave a party and danceat the Sig house on Saturday. The motif was the pledges view of lifein the Sig prison. The house was decorated with everything from bars(vertical) to placards branding the founders as wanted criminals.Notable among the couples attending were lovely brunette JANEMEYERS with ugly red-haired FRED KUELLMER and making whatmight be his last social appearance as* a batchelor was IRA CORNescorting PRIS JOYCE.The Phi Psi’s gave a combination dance and bar warming in theirhouse. Since most gals present were not from campus, stags PETTYand JOHNSON are most worthy of note.The Phi Gams celebrated our victory over Grinnel with a recorddance at their house. Among those present were MURIEL THOMP¬SON with BOB LEDERMAN, JOAN BRITTON with JACK CRAIGand the usual VALERIE KOPECKY-HARMON CRAIG combination.Perhaps the most interesting part of the evening was spent downtownin gayer atmosphere on the near north side. The party wound-up inthe wee .small hours at Ricardo’s. The survivors amused themselvesby singing numerous songs to the one tune*that the battered littleold man could produce from an equally battered piano.Psi Upsilon gave a buffet supper before the basketball game andtheir pledge class honored the actives with a record dance after thegame. Other parties held over the week and were given by DKE andPi Lambda Phi.

Again . . .Wednesday Inter-org will tackle the propos¬ed Student Government constitution (printed infull elsewhere in this issue), and no doubt alterit somewhat. A good deal, but not all, of^ stu¬dent government’s chances of success on thiscampus depends on the shape of tiie documentthat emerges from this meeting.Well-considered changes will help its chanc¬es, but the MARCX)N feels that there are few de¬cided improvements that can be offered. FredFiedler’s committee has done a commendable jobof jelling widely divergent points of view intoa workable scheme of student representation.One outstanding weakness remains , . . theexecutive council provided for in article four ofthe document. Endowed with a veto right remi¬niscent of that of UN’s security council, thiscouncil is to consist of 13 members representingvets’ organizations, political clubs, fraternities,clubs, service organizations, and so on. It willhave the power to propose rules and regulationsto the assembly and to wield the stearing andpolicy-making stick.So far so good. The catch is that this “stear-'ing committee” is to be appointed by one man —the president of student government. The'coun¬cil will be his personal cabinet, and the repre¬sentative student government that is the goalof most of I - o’s recent activity will emerge as aone-man show.The remedy is simple. Abolish the executivecouncil.The officers of student government aregoing to have to have something to do anyway —let them act as stearing committee. They, afterall, are the only ones who are to'be elected bythe entire student body, and if this is to be arepresentative student government at all, whynot go whole hog on the matter?The only quarrel with this is the treatmentlikely to be afforded minorities under this ar¬rangement.. Minorities of anjjr importance, how¬ever, will receive adequate representation in thegeneral elections for the assembly seats.But student government has a stormy roadahead even after it passes its first hurdle. Ac¬tually the proposed scheme diff^s little fromInterrorg except in method of representation.Twill have little or no power than I - 0 has faced-7-lehargy on the part of a student body con¬cerned primarily with passing Dr Schnopp’scourse with a “C” or better, and managing towade through at least half the assigned readingsin Mr. Worffle’s seminar. It faces the problemof the commuting student who spends most ofhis spare time riding the Rapid Transit between-here and the North side.And if student government is to amount toanything worth while, it must at least in partsolve these problems. It has one big advantageover Inter-org. This is simply the fact that itisn’t Inter-org, but something different. It hasthe chance of a fresh start. It also has the ad¬vantage that the non-joiners on campus canget into this act as well as the joiners but thispoint is dubious at best inasmuch as the non-joiners are largely the ones most afflicted withlethargy in matters of campus politics.A strong case can, in fact, be made againstthe idea of having student government cm this campus at at. But it deserves a trial oh thechance it may succeed. The campus can use aneffective representative student government bodyto register its complaints, to give the Universityadministration something to go to when it wantsto deal with its students collectively. On thisbasis the proposed scheme will be backed by theMAROON untib when and if, the new bodycommences to flounder and grope after^he man¬ner of Inter-^rg. R. P.A Deserved Bouquet...-fThe life-cycle pattern of the average U .of Cstudent organization might well be described inthe following fashion: (1) would-be campusleader dreams up likely name and “purpose” fora new club; it is muen easier to be elected chair¬man of a ne\x organization than to work one’sway up through the ranks of an establishedfunctioning one; (2) ten members are recruitedand the organization registered in the Dean’soffice; (3) first meeting is held at which would-be campus leader is (by pre-arrangement) se¬lected president, chairman or) moderator; (presi-.dent-elect is now big-time campus politician,fully qualified to appoint committers, log-roll atInter-org meetings and name delegates to any¬thing which might require delegates.)The club has now fulfilled its primary rea¬son for existence. Occasional meetings may beheld at which members debate at great lengthabout the state of the nation, or drink tea andin the case of honorary societie.s, discuss the per¬sonalities of the young hopefuls though worthyto succeed hte present members.) But usually thegroup soon dies in all but name, which is im¬mortalized on the ever growing Dean’s list ofcertified campus activities.It is a pleasure to note that some campusorganizations do not fit this pattern. Currently,one of the outstanding non-conformists is theStudent Committee of the Renaissance Society.This young group is engaged in an extremelyproductive program of art exhibitions, lecturesand, currently, a series of lecture-demonstrationson ballet and modem dance.Through dint of much hard work, its execu¬tive committee, headed by Roger Englander, issucceeding in bringing to the campus some ofthe outstanding personalities in this interestingfield. As tribute to their efforts, Mandel Hallhas been filled to capacity for each lecture, andthe Renaissance Society’s membership hasgrown amazingly. Plans for future recitals andprograms bringing modern art to the Universitycampus are proportionately more extensive inscope.The Renaissance Society is certainly an ob-.ject-lesson to prove once and for all that theUniversity will actively support a worth-whileactivity, intelligently and vigorously sponsored.The MAROON wishes it even greater success, andpledges active support.

I havebeen told that he later disavowedhis intention of thus opposing theKelly machine. It makes no dif¬ference. He did support Kelly-McCahey appointments like Ma-jewski, Mollison, and Levin con¬sistently throughout the remain¬der of his term. Chicago needsan alderman who will act con¬sistently throughout the fouryears of his term, not just forthe months proceeding election.”Appointees Small FryAsked why he had supported -the McCahey appointments.

For a briefresume, Bernstein says yes, andKrupa says no. Those of you whoheard Bernstein’s lecture lastFriday, heard an extended ver¬sion of his yes answer.Naturally we’re going to haveto put our two cents worth totheir comments. It seems to methat Mr. B. makes sense whenhe says that jazz, in the formof rhythm, harmony, color, infact all of the musical elementshas shown its influence on thenon-conscious jazz — influencedcomposer. (Neither Bernstein orthis columnist mean “unconsci¬ous.”)As Mr. B says, but I do notquote, jazz really began to beimportant to classical works whencomposers began to write musicthat was really instead of self¬consciously American.To switch to Mr. Krupa for asecond - - - he rest’s his argu¬ments on such men as Stravin¬sky and Gershwin, the most, inhis own words, jazz-conscious ofall the classical composers. Well,Mr. K, if Stravinsky is anAmerican, we are the mothers ofTruman and Stalin, respective¬ly; and if Mr. Gershwin didn’ttry to follow the old classicalforms,—ditto.The fact is that Mr. K saysjust what Mr. B is saying, only,to us at • least, he draws thewrong conclusions. What Mr. B.says, makes sense—because veryfew people can self-consciouslyimitate and execute a work ofgenius. The fact of the matteris, that people like Copeland andBarber have managed to incor¬porate jazz materials into theircompositions, and still be con¬sidered pretty good classical com¬posers.One more point, we really wishthat everyone would stop regard¬ing Jazz as a Storeyville productand give ii, its due. Seems tp usthat collectors and fans regardit and rightly, as a pretty serioussubject.MORRIS COHEN CHOSENFOR AYD PRESIDENCYAt AYD’s first meeting of thequarter held last Wednesday,Morris (Moe) Cohen was electednew chapter president.

The band was strictlyfrom Northwestern and thepoor food but surprisingly enoughcharacters like Lin Lungard, DaveBloomburg, Sally Fishman, ClydeDonehue, Janet Benson, RosieRaymond, Jim Barnett, and BillMontgomery (all spotted by ourhandy pocket light) were havinga good time along with the ma¬jority of other attendants.The Student Social Committee(they give the C-Dances) di¬verted itself with a “Come asyou wish you were” party a fewdays ago. Apparently the commit¬tee members are well satisfiedwith their status-quo: they allshowed up as themselves. Amongthe notables present were JohnCasey, Alice Gray, Patty Bums,Betsy Green, Nancy Kerr, LonFitzgerald, Ed McGowen, ChuckReeves, and others entertainingthemselves with the usual danc¬ing, eating, and bridge.Even serious groups like theInternational Relations Dept,have recently let down theirhair and given parties wortJimentioning. Portions of the Dept,gave a housewarming to JackStewart’s and .Webster Cash’sbasement and it turned out gayto say the least. Rooms, devotedto dancing and drinking wereseparated by a well-trod paththrough the coal bin.We dug up a couple of reason¬ably interesting tales about oneof our med student friends theother day. This young genius of¬fered his services to GeneralMotors in Detroit last summer;Impressed, apparently, by hisB.S. and two years of medicalschool, the company promisedhim a laboratory job. So, earlyin the morning, he reported towork in the cause of Science andthe task awaiting him—washingdishes.ALL OVER AMERICA-CH ESTERFIELD ISTOPS!Coffo^ }9ij, lUoofTT ft Hnn Toiioco Co.THE CHICAGO MAROONP<rae 10WILLIAMBENDIXAPPEARING INPARAMOUNT'S"TWO YEARSBEFORE THEMAST"CHESTERFIELD IS BY FAR THE FAVORITE WITHTHE HOLLYWOOD STARS Fk'iday, January 24, 1947Undefeated JayveesTrounce Luther Inst.29-16 In 3rd VictoryJoe Stampf’s mighty mites better known as the Junior Varsityhas won its third straight basket ’ball victory since Private SchoolLeague play began three weeksago.

Although themen in Maroon show great prom¬ise and seem to have a wealth oftalent, they will be crippled bythe loss of Chuck Kelso, star dash-man, who suffered a leg injurythis week.Nonetheless, Coach Ned A. Mer-riam’s charges should experiencelittle difficulty in polishing offtheir local rivals. MJC and Loy¬ola are particularly weak, al¬though several events will provideexcitement for faithful followersof the oval sport. Coach Merriammysteriously suggests that tlie440-yard dash will be a real con¬test.The indoor track season willfeature "interlaced” meets inwhich five schools will be repre¬sented on the field. The first ofthese five-team meets will be heldon Februai-y 15, when the Chicagosquad meets Western Michigan,while Ohio, Northwestern andIowa hold similar competition. Ineach event the dual competitionwill follow the triangular, through¬out the schedule of events.The Maroon junior varsity squadhas opened its season successfully,toppling potent Mt.'Carmel by acore of 48 to 38.

Chamberlain didn’tscore a point in the first half,but came to life in the last quar¬ter to pull up, 10 to 6. However,two quick buckets by Schmitz ofDodd iced the game for the goldshirts. Schmitz was high-pointman with 8. Coulter won the finalgame on a forfeit, 2 to 0, whenLinn House couldn’t scrape upenough men for a full team.1Friday, Janwaiy 24, 1947* THE CHICAGO MAROON fage 11^MaroonsBeat Grinnell 52-40For Second Straight Fourth WinMoving into an early lead andholding it for the remainder ofthe contest, the University basket-hall team won their secondstraight game Saturday night asthey defeated Grinnell 52 to 40before a large crowd at the localfieldhouse.

Captain Art Cohen maintainedhis perfect record in foil by win¬ning both his matches by wide'margins. Willie Vaughn secondedthe motion by copping both ofhis matches, including a not tooeasy victory over the highlytouted Tykodi of Northwestern.Crawford turned in the other foilvictory, but also absorbed oneshellacking.Strauss led the epee squad tovictory as he gained three vic¬tories in as many starts. Thomp¬son dropped one close match butmade up for it by winning twoothers quite handily.

Petty in the100-jard free style, the 180-yardmedley team, and the 160-yardrelay team.
