Ellis 14Telephone. Blackstone 2591�2B7WEDNESDAY, MAY 10, 1916.REGULATION OF THE SOCIALCONFLICT.The Harvard Crimson in an editori­al on "Labor Problems", of May 1,1916, descants upon the serious need'of acquaintanceship with the tradeunion situation on 'the part of thecollegian who is preparing to enterbusiness. Trade unionism is pene­trating almost every field of labor.It is becoming so strong that it can'now exploit the great resources ofcapital. "This vital modern problem.coneerns every man who will enter thefield of business and have to deal'with Iabor, To comprehend the sit­uatIOn, to -Ql::ICrll1lllla� between thefair and preposterous demands of la­bor unions, future business men JIlBYobtain light on this subject by study­ing it in college" Thus speaketh TheHarvard Crimson.And in order that the prospectivebusiness man may learn how to dealwith "this vital Illodern problem" in"an unprejudiced manner" Harvarduniversity offers two half-courses. Inother words, a scientifiC and unbias­ed_ study of the field of labor is to be .made throUgh the medium of two. half-courses. Whereas llrovision forstudy of the OPPOSite �ide of the in­dustrial WOrld, th� side of capital, is­a.�ply prOvided in. courses in Scien­tIfIC Managernent, _ CotPoration Fin­ance,.

Beyond those:who still hold th� explOded theoriesof the classical �conomist, few willbe found Who will not Itlaintain thatsociety iS'in a changing condition andthat social and industrial arrange­ments must be b'Qilt uP to accord to,the new conditions. And the stu­dent of society Will appreciate thatBOrne system of control must be es­tablished for the social and indus­trial warfare that is continually be­ing carried on among the labor and capitalist groups. The fighting mustnot be indiscriminate; for then thethird party, the public, will suft'er. 'And again this system of control mustbe framed for ready amendmentwhenever the situation calls for suchaction.To dogmatize blindly with thestatement that this group or thatgroup is right, that within it, if'rightly applied, is the cure-all for theevils of our system-to act in suchmanner is without any basis of jus­tification, Appearances may pointto one element in society with a fing­er of approval. Yet that finger maybe the member of the unexperiencedinfant, excited by surface indications Iand unacquainted with scientific in­vestigation and deduction. Yet the'evidence now at hand fails to sub­stantiate the claims of anyone groupfor leadership. One may not be cap­able of solidarity; the other may failto discard the selfish, individualisticmotive.And with all this discoursing, whereare we? What may we, as collegestudents, contribute? (And we mustconsider now the students, the oneswho scientifically and without bias at­tempt to ascertain what can andought to be done; not those who are'preparing to enter business or a lifeof reckless abandon.) What .shall wedo? In order to learn first just whatthe present situatoin is, what the so­cial groups are and what their make­up is, a thorough study of each one'must be made. Two half-courses are,sadly inadequate. Then, after. wehave learned what the elements of thesocial compound are, we must drawaround them a system of control. Thegroups themselves do not seem inclin- -ed to do it adequately. This taskmust devolve upon us, then, who areset off from the struggle; upon uswho can look down upon the situationUTith "Sllmn�!'; SInn nisintp1'P!';tMn��_If we, because of our advantages ofscientific investigation, are capableof interpreting the present status ofsociety and evolving a plan for itsregulation our responsibility in thematter is not to be questioned. It wouldbe the wildest misuse of the assetsmade possible to us by society merelyto use them to "obtain light on the.subject' for business purposes.COl\IlUUNICATIONS(In view of the fact that the com­munication column of The Dally Ma­roon' is maintained as a clearinghouse for student and faculty opinion,The Maroon accepts no responsibilityfor the sentiments therein expressed.Communications are welcomed by theeditors, and should be signed as anevidence of good faith, although thename will .not be published withoutthe writer's consent.)�Iegating Mr. Jones to the Depths, of the Drama League.To the Editor:-It is particularly unfortunate thatMr. Jones was unable to appreciatethe humor of Mr. Windrow's actions'in the recent Blackfriars show. HisI lack of a "copious spirit of enjoy-rnent' robbed his criticism of much·of its effectiveness, for instead ofdealing with the show as an occasionfor spontaneous,--childish,-if youwill, laughter, he was constrained to'treat it soberly, as a dramatic pro­duction. There is much to say for hisposition; for many people still talkof "The Student Superior" as the bestBlackfriars play ever presented, and'it is by no means certain that a col­lege comic opera is privileged to dis­regard all the dramatic rules thatwere ever formulated.But the audiences that go to Black­friars go to see a Blackfriars show,and not one of the Drama League'sbest bets. We all know that the vil­lage on the Rhine, the papers andthe enchanted well are threadbare. Furthermore, we don't care. We likethe red and blue soldier costumes, and.the gipsies, and the little girl withvery black hair and the yellow and\�hite blazer. We could go down toThe Little Theater if we wanted tolearn a little about creating charac­ters, and rising emotion, and all that.If it is there, well and good, but ifthe girls are pretty, and we sway ourshoulders even more than a little bitto the tunes, and if there is plenty ofred and green and yellow and blue on'the stage, we are happy. If Mr.Jones thinks the music was slow, let:bim listen to the tunes that are beinghummed around the campus this week.Are they the Melody in F, or some ofDvorak's lighter works? No. Theyare The Melting Pot and The Cam­pus Strut. A low standard, you will'say, but we are not ashamed. Weknow better. We like to forget ourawful dignity now and then and snapour fingers and sing about the raggy,lasses. It isn't academic, but it's fun.There's so much time to be serious,but you can go to a Blackfriars showonly once a year.Lawrence MacGregor.Not the Place for Loquacity.iTo the Editor:-The Daily Maroon bas, along withthe Honor commission and the facul­ty, done much in creating public op­inion opposed to class room cheating.It has also spoken for the campusbeautiful and I know that this has notbeen in vain.Since the student body of the Uni­versity of Chicago possesses this or­gan of power, why shbuld it not beused in securing one other good topractically every student in the Uni­versity, namely, in creating a senti­ment against disorder in the libraries.As it now is during the busiesthours in the Harper library reading'rnnm it. i!'; pTRI'ticRlly impOSilihlp. fora student to read for more than a'few minutes without being disturbed.It is useless to move from a center ofdisturbance for the same thing willoccur again. In fact it sometimes ap-,pears as if the library is· visited as aplace for friendly intercourse, insteadof study.Moreover, if I have the proper con­ception of a college education it isfor the purpose of training in co-op­eration and not primarily to encour­age our American individuality. Onthe contrary a half hour's observationat almost any time iii the afternoonor evening, mi�ht ,convince one of thecorrectness of the opposite view. Nowto ask for an abatement of this thingis not asking for the impossible; forsome other reading rooms on the cam­pus are not so disturbed, even withmaking allowance, for their differ­ence in size. Neither is visiting al­lowed in city libraries. More thant\lis, the student body has supposed­;ly a higher degree of intelligence than. the great mass of visitors in the pub-lic libraries. If this is true it oughtto be not only a possible undertak­ing but a worthy cause for the stu-·dents of the University' of Chicagoto expend effort in making the librar­ies places where study may be car­ried on without the annoyance of con­stant conversation.Emma Sparks.Objections to Election Reform.To the Editor:-The objections to the passage of theprovision that only those shall be al­lowed to vote in class elections whoshall have paid their dues to the class'for that quarter-the proposition thatwill be voted on May 18 by the stu­dents of the University-seem to meto be four-fold: first, the measure isundemocratic; second, it is unfair;third, it is unnecessary; and fourth, itwill not achieve the very object forwhich it is designed.The University of Chicago standsfor the spirit of democ:racy-a �irit StricflyAmericanMadeMen 'seeking"class" in a pipeat moderate priceshould see the·Stratford.

True, it will be urgedthat funds are necessary to the oper­ation of any democracy, but the fundscan be secured as they have been se­cured in the past .. If we require thispayment of a poll-tax, for that ispractically what the proposition willamount to, then we are destroying thiselement of democracy which we alluse in "talking up" the University.I n the second place, the proposi­tion is unfair. It is urged that themoney will be used in promoting class.parties and social doings. I believethat the class stands for more thanthe social organizations which it nowseems almost entirely to be. Class spirit can take other and just as ef­fective forms as attendance at classparties. There are interclass trackmeets, indoor an doutdoor, interclassbaseball games, interclass basketballgames and other interclass activities.Surely those that take part in theseevents have just as much class spiritand just as much right to be consid­ered in the choice of class officers asthose who attend the social functions.The Undergraduate council choosesthe Interscholastic chairman, it haschosen this year a committee to be incharge of the entertainment of theWaseQa baseball team, it chooses acommittee to act in assisting the Ath-(Continued onPage 3) 1'I�·, .""., -RETHEBREARTZ,NEWI:Art2cally 1surdit:valuesvain �questkliving'he halperplethe su.princijbiblicamorro'sequerthat lbensfris a y.story Ithinkacalled"Brealhymnend t'after (ov's tlsuit ethat tcide 'W"1 4NaumI denjwho s:of Iif.up thehebetempleed tomies 'seen, JIeadinmartythinkeThey·to thehappirone'sand fcArt:and 1'Eer ofwith 1bas 0-';the IiIhis encontercan Ii'catedsoberis bu�-I".

Yet the old denierfrom Yasnaya Poliana had found away out from his doubts, had dis­c"bvered a big Aye to life. Artzibashevplunged head first, and struck thebottom of Sheol. To him altruism, re­ligion, and any idealism, even egotism,are rubbish and nonsense. His suicidesare not even of the type of-Kirrilov inDostoyevsky's "Possessed", that man­iac who determined to die in order tokill the fear of death, to rise abovelife, to become a god-man. The soleaim of Artzibashev's suicides is toescape the unnecessary pain of living,to attain. the bliss of not-being. SaysNaumov: "* * * every death is mon­strous, though it were a thousandtimes a law of nature. Death is anact of violence against the race, andonly suicide is free. You can't sayit's natural if I want to live and haveto die, but still less can you say it'sunnatural if I die of my own freewill as soon as there is nothing leftfor me to live for, simply because Idon't want to live any longer."There is a sociological significanceabout Artzibashev's novels-their re­flection of Russian moods. Just as"Sanin" depicted the reaction in theminds of the revolutionary youth inthe direction of sexual licentiousness,so does the "Breaking Point" reflectthe phenomenon of epidemic suicidesamong intellectuals in the last decade.It is a grave symptom. I think it isDuerkheim who maintains that weare immune from suicide in propor­tion to the degree of our socialization.A disorganized socety does not wieldin critical moments a controlling in­fluence over the individual, and insuch moments, according to Duerk­heim, the percentage of suicides in­creases. It is to be hoped that themental crisis in Russian society, asrecorded by Artzibashev, is past his­tory. The decade between the warwith Japan and the present war wasthe most morbid, demoralizing per­iod in Russian history. The govern­ment had done its utmost to clip thewings of the young generation, todivert it from idealism to ego-centriccallousness. But the present war hasalready shown that Russia is under­going a process of rejuvenation andgeneral upheaval. There are numer­ous signs to the effect that Russiawill emerge from the, great cruciblepurged, sane and energetic.Pennsylvania first varsity at Annapo­lis Saturday over the Henley dis­tance in 7m. lOs.

ANNOUNCE REVISEDREVIEWS OF RECENT BO,OKS SCHEDULE FOR FIRSTTWO WEEKS IN JUNE" THE APOTHEOSIS OF DEATHBREAKING POINT, BY MICHAELARTZIBASHEV. (B. W. HUEBSCH,NEW YORK). 'By Alexander S. Kaun, '16.Artzibashev's pessimism has Iogi-,cally progressed to the point of ab­surdity. In his denial of acceptedvalues and ideals he has sought invain an answer to the question ofquestions, Wherein lies the sense ofliving? For a moment it seemed thathe has discovered a panacea for allperplexities in his noisy hero, Sanin,the subman, as I called him once, the.priucipless liver who might use thebiblical motto, Eat and drink, for to­morrow we shall die. But in his sub­sequent works Arzibashev lacks eventhat hectic strain of animalistic Le­bensfreude. In "The Millionaire" lifeis a yawning abyss of emptiness; thestory ends with a hint at the only un­thinkable escape from the silly farcecalled life, suicide. The next novel,"Breaking Point", is nothing but a·hymn to suicide. Most of its heroesend their lives deliberately, coolly,after considerable discussion of Naum­ov's theory; those who do not followsuit excuse themselves by the factthat they are living dead, hence sui­cide would be superfluous."I declare war on life," saidNaumov. "I refuse to acknowledge it,I deny and curse it • • • All thosewho sang hymns for the continuationof life for all eternity, and offeredup their souls for it, were thought tobe benefactors of the human race,temples and monuments were erect­ed to them, But I call them ene­mies of mankind. They must haveseen, must have known that they wereleading men to shambles. To endlessmartyrdom! Accursed be all thosethinkers, prophets, poets and scholars.They have forced us to shut our eyesto the terrible reality and to dream ofhappiness, whereas one need only openone's eyes to recoil from life onceand for all in loathing and repulsion."Artzibashev is a disciple of Tolstoy,and resembles his master both in pow­er of introspection and in method,with the difference that Artzibashevhas overshot the mark and has passedthe limit in denying life as well as inhis erotic realism. When Tolstoy hadcontemplated suicide, he wrote: "Onecan live only as long as one is intoxi­cated with life, but when you becomesober you cannot help seeing that allis but deceit, delusion, and foolish1'.· All Classes Suspended on College aDdConvocation Days-June 2Also Holiday.The revised schedule for the firsttwo weeks of June has been announc­ed.

Surely these arematters that the whole membershipof the class is interested in and thatshould be voted for by people whohave been elected on a broad franchisebasis, not merely those who have con­tributed to the funds necessary toconduct class parties.Again, the provision is unnecessary:we have at present class committeesin charge of selling class tickets andif these are properly supervised anddirected, an ample number of ticketscan be sold to "put over" class par­ties without any trouble.But the greatest argument againstthe proposition is that it will not at­tain the very objeet for which it isdesigned-the elimination of politics.It will limit politics to the restrictednumber of those who have purchasedther class tickets-it will make poli­tics more violent than under the pres­ent system.Taking into the consideration theforegoing arguments, it seems to methat the students of the Universityshould let well enough alone, insteadof trying out another visionary schemelike the point system; let the senti­ment be there and it will achieve theend desired just as well, if not bet­ter than this proposed reform meas­ure.MEETS IN THE EASTThe Harvard varsity lawn tennisteam defeated Amherst college in adual meet Saturday, 7 matches to O.The Brown- \Vesleyan university'lawn tennis meet Saturday ended in­a tie, each winning three matches.The·Yale varsity golf team defeat­-ed the Hartford Golf club in a dualmeet Saturday, 8 to 2.S. c.'
