VEBATING ACTIVITY ISUNDERGR�DUATE IN 1917 NAME CANDIDATESFOR COUNCIL ATMEETINGS TODAYArrangements Practically Settled atChicago, l'tlichigan and Northwestern-Coach Moulton Pleas for In.terest to Insure Success. Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen Will Convene at10:15 in Kent.Debating at the university will bean undergraduate activity beginningnext . year, according to an anouncement made by Coach Moulton at ameeting of Chideb last night in Cobb12A. Arangements practically aresettled for similar decisions to beadopted at the University of Michigan and Northwestern university,which together with Chicago make upthe Central Debating league. Definiteaction will be taken at a conferencebetween representatives of the threeins: itutions in a few weeks.The innovation is the culmination(at Chicago, at least) of a series offactors. Coach Moulton always favored undergraduate control. He wrotean article three years ago in the U niversity of Chicago magazine advocating such a step. Agai,n, it was foundthis year, when attempts were madeto ascertain the eligibility of the teammembers, that there are no specific'grounds for determining eligibility ofgraduate debaters.According to Mr� Moulton, it is certain that Northwestern is heartily infavor of entire undergraduate participation. Michigan, he claims, has anadvantage in that her students are ofan older and more experienced type.Is Serious Matter. MAY PETITION TILL MONDAYTen l'tlembers Will Be Elec:ted.

Maroons Face Hard Foe in Boilermakers, Who Represent Pick ofLarge Squad-Chicago NotablyWeak in Heavyweight Class. Reviewing of Special Issue Is ItsOwn Reward-Walker'sArticle Excellent.Maroon wrestlers will stage theirfirst regulation Conference bout ofthe season tomorrow night, when theymeet the Purdue squad in Bartlett.This match will give the Maroons achance to show their worth against astrong Conference squad. Wrestlingalways bas been classed as one ofthe strong minor sports at Purdue, asis evidenced by the entries of the hundred men who reported to CoachPaulsen at the beginning of the season. The Maroons have been goingthrough stiff workouts during thepast week in an effort to get down tothe required weights.Northwestern was an easy victimfor the Chicago grapplers in theirlast meet, but little comparison canbe' made between the Purple and theBoilermakers. Captain Mahannah iseasily the best man in the 145-poundclass and will be matched with Cutler, Mullendore or McGill. Purdueis reported as having a wizard in theUG-pound class in Maurer, who willbattle Gumbiner. Rosenberger, although lacking in experience, appears. to be the only man whom Coach Netherton can enter in the 125-pound di-vision. .Jeschke bas been doing excellentwork in the 135-pound class and willgive either Garza, Zeigler or Williams a hard battle. Kahn, who represented Chicago at the Conference'meet at Nebraska last spring, is fastbecoming a polished ... wrestler andmust be conceded a·. strong .bid, for.first against Longenecker or Ludlum,of the Indiana squad.. Bondzinski IlLChicago is notably week in theheavyweight class, and is handicapped further at the present time owingto the ineligibility of Sherlaw. Bondzinski, who has been. showing up wellin this class, will not be able to enter the match owing to sickness.Graves, a veteran of last year, is theonly other candidate in this division.Borum, Dawson and Burns will represent the Purdue squad here."We are meeting one· of the bestwrestling squads in the Conferencetomorrow night and we shall have toshow all we have in order to win,"said Coach <, Netherton last night."Thi� match should give us a chanceto measure our strength with theother Conferenc:e teams, and give usan idea of our weaknesses, The twoten-minute bouts which will be stagedin each division will give the- men asevere test of strength." CHICAGO VERSUS GALESBURG"Warthorse Bill" Rivals Immortal Siwash Stcrfes=-Allen's ContributionStirs Desire for Series.By Hermann Deutsch.It is seldom that the lot of the reviewer of the product of student activity of one sort or another is apleasant one. If, bored to the vergeof permanent catalepsy, he says whatis in his mind, he is told that he"strikingly illustrates the tendency ofthe undergraduate to be unpleasant."If he strangles his conscience and,speaking of-let us say-a dramaticclub play, remarks that the scenery isexcellent and that the club couldn'thave picked a better date, and thatthe dance which followed the perfonnance was a distinct social success, andthat the perfonnance was a strikingand conclusive refutation of the .carpers who claim that students, as arule, cannot act, he is made to understand that the function of the criticis to criticize and not to gush like ahigh school girl expressing her adoration for.her particular film favorite.If he remains neutral, and says thatthe particular effort 'under discussionbas its good points and its bad points,he is compared to a jellyfish with. apologies to the latter, and told thata, review which is not positive, oneway or another, . means absolutelynothing in anyone's young life.However, there are compensations,and one of these is. the delightfulprivilege of being permitted to readthe faculty number of the Lit Monthly, which otherwise might not havereached me. As I remcmbered theLit-and I say this with the proudknowledge of having been one of itsfirst contributors-there has beentime when, to use a Harvard idiom,it was nothing to write home about.If the Faculty Number is any criterion of future editions, that time isdefinitely past.Sets High Standard.In saying this I realize that therecan be no competition between student and faculty contributors, But itmeans something-something verydefinite, too-to have in one's past astandard to be striven for, ratherthan something to be lived down.I can honestly say that it has beenlong since I 80 thoroughly and completely enjoyed anything somuch as "Contracts with the Undergraduate"-nor can r recall ever having seen a saner or more clear exposition of the cause and cure of the ailment commonly referred to in Marooneditorials �past and present) as "Ourlack of culture." And I think thatanyone wl,o reads the five Polishpeasant leeters will receive, as I did,a wholly new mental stimulus, which.in that it initiates a new series ofmental reactions, is something morethan a salutary pleasure. In only oneway am I sorry that the Lit robbedthe Line of one of the products of thefar-famed H. D., because a number ofLine fans are mISSIng something.And as for Warhorse Bill, with thegolden definition that "To tackle is,J take it, to grab a runner sbmewhercbetween his c:leats and his pneumogastric nerve and bold on to him, "-(Continued on Page 3)FENN WILL PREACH SUNDAYHead of Harvard Divinity School toAppear in Mandel.The Rev.

FEBRUARY 4. 1916.MISBEHA VIOUR AT CHAPEL.At times it is a marked relief todescend from the heights of cultureand wisdom to the depths of mundane undergraduate affairs; but whenthe purpose of the descent is to comment on exhibitions of ill-breedingduring chapel exercises, the diversion becomes a disagreeable task. Itshould be unnecessary to launch alengthy tirade against the offendingstudents; suffice it to recall to thedisturbers that. they are violating themost common and fundamental rulesof decent conduct.HOW TO READ THE NEWSPAPER"Read the -newspapers" is an exhortation heard continually from themouths of educators. Whenev,.er astudent exposes his ignorance of current events, he is harangued with"read the newspapers"; when an u�dergraduate is shown to be obliviousof the existence of Galliopoli, whenhe reveals the fact that he is unacquainted with the name and previouscondition of servitude of England'spremier, he is straightaway offeredthe admonition, "read the newspa-pers." .To the observer of students' habits,it would seem highly essential thatthe word "intelligently" be added tothe foregoing bit of advice. Experimentation would show, we believe,that the very man who admits his ignorance of the world events is wellversed in the mqst recent divorcescandals, that he is familiar with thevicissitudes of the $30,000,000 heiress,and that he could recite last year's'Amer-ican league batting averagesbackward. A statistician would find. intc rest.in r material in computing thenumber of people who purchase thedaily paper, turn to the sportingpage, 'the comic supplement, or 'to thecolumn of advice to the lovelorn, and,having perused these sections, tossthe sheet into the discard. The quantity of those who follow such tacticswould form a notable contrast withthose who read carefully about political situations. who study the pasttwenty-four hours' war developments,and who resort to the editorial pageto �Iean an interpretation of theday's news. Those who devote no attention whatever to the newspapersform a negl�ihle �roup. But thosewho lend their intr-rest to insignifi.cant items at the sacrifice of ncglectin� more important articles,comprise a larger percenta�e of ou;"educated" population than we shouldcare to confess. I f those who preach"read the newspapers" will alter theformula to read "read the newspapers intelJigently," their didacticismwill be far more significant, in thatthey will be urging their audience to'use judgment in the selection of journaJistie reading matter, and to en. . deavor to grasp the full meaning ofcurrent news through the eyes ofeducation and experience.PHI PSI VICTORY OVERPSI U.

Thegenial Percy Hammond contents himse!f with a Jissertation upon the badness of the music and the beauty ofthe legs displayed therein; for a musical comedy which is worth while asgood fun such criticism is at once inadequate and impossible, and the reoviewer is left to his own devices. Hecan only enumerate the strikingthings he has seen and subside.If the sale of seats is admittableevidence, Montgomery and Stone arethe funniest comedians in America.Let the adherents of Messrs. Bernardand Carr, or that other institution,Weber and Fields, rise in wrath. ifthey must; the fact remains that it isimpossible to secure seats for "ChinChin" at the box office unless one hasbeen canny enough to reserve themtwo weeks or so in advance. Ofcourse one can always go to a speculator-but the speculator is not knownto invest heavily in doubtful enterprises, and the argument remains unshaken. Montgomery and Stone arethe funniest team in musical comedy.To attempt to differentiate the humor of Messrs. Montgomery andStone from the humor of Messrs.Weber and Fields, for instance, as onecompares Mrs. Fiske and MargaretAnglin is as impossible as to distinguish in words between the perfumeof a violet and the perfume of a rose.Indeed, it would take high talent todistinguish them from each other.Wherein Iies the fact that Mr. Stoneis funnier than his partner to mostpeople? Why does a smaller but. noless zealous school proclaim the superior merits of Mr. Montgomery ?Charles Lamb might have told usCharles Lamb would have loved them-but alack! we have only Amy Leslie and the trenchant Hammond.It argues something for the perfectteam-play of this celestial pair thatwhen they want to do it, their voicesbecome indistinguishable. Not thatMontgomery copies Stone. in othermatters, or that Stone copies Montgomery; but the one or two songs in"Chin-Chin" in which they attemptthe feat are proofs of long-continuedpopularity recommended to the consideration of less high-minded funmakers.So much for the stars, but whatabout the play? It has become an oldstory, but none the less funny, andbeautiful and bright. In fact, in theminds of many "Chin-Chin" is fastassuming a place, if not with "TheMikado," at least with "Robin Hood"and "The Merry Widow" and "ThePink Lady"-successes you remember,as distinguished from the successesyou forgot. Mr. Ziegfeld and the "Follies" haveset a standard for scenery in musicalcomedy which "Chin-Chin" amplylives up to. The top-ship whichopens the fun; the green-and-purpleof the terrace scene, with its gratefully adequate perspective, the scenein which the chorus temporarilyroost in the branches <an idea whichMr. Ziegfeld wisely copied) are notonly up to our demands in this matter, but in hannony of scenery andcostume and lighting, a little in advance even of the "Follies't=-alwaysexcepting "Urban."The music is so well known that itrequires no comment. Some of it wehave forgotten and are delighted tohear again; some of it we rememberand want to treat ourselves to. Thereis the Chinese song, with its mild andinnocuous damn. There is the "GoodBy, Girls, I'm Through"-how manyversions and parodies and stealingshave we had of it? There is the"Temple Bell" song. What is thereto say of them except that they arefast becoming established, if not with"Pinafore" and "Robin Hood," thenwith what we remember of "Floradora" and "Havana" and "The MerryWidow." And finally the chorus isclean, fresh and pretty-adjectivesover which Mr. Ziegfeld may wellmeditate.In this connection Douglas Stevenson comes in. There arc better tenors than Mr. Stevenson; his voice issimple and unspoiled and fresh, buteven in musical comedy a tenor cansing without raising the roof. He hasthe good sense not to try to be funny,and he never forces his voice. Lastly, he can dance.That leads naturally to the mentionof the dancing of Aladdin and hispartner in the second act; and thatto the ludicrous parody of Mr. Stoneand Miss Zell, immediately after it-both extremes of comic opera dancingand both superbly done. Then thefun is handed over largely to Mr.Stone-Stone the pianist, Stone, the .ventriloquist, Stone, the barebackrider, and finally the Stone laugh, aninfectious laugh comparable only tothe Tacf chuckle.In the flippant English' of thepresident of the Reynolds club this isnot a burlesque show. "Chin Chin"is clean all the way through. Whymusical comedy humor should gatherabout exposed portions of the femaleanatomy is a problem that only thegods can solve. Why managers nersist in producing salacious shows isanother insoluble' riddle. For it. doesn't pay-in the 'box office sense.Gilbert ana Sullivan, de Koven, Lehar,and Mr. Dillingham find it impossibleto produce and to succeed with mU3:cal comedy which is at once musicaland comic, and the perennial humorin their best work is without vulgarity or offense. Theirs are the musicalcomedies which pay.HARPER WILL SPEAK TUESDAY CAP AND GOWN SCHEDULETo Give Lecture on "Russia in WarTime."Assistant Prof. Samuel NorthrupHarper, of the department of'RussianLanguages and Institutions, will deliver the first of the series of six lectures being given on "The Great WarToday" under the auspices of theChicago Lecture association.
