This ques¬tion, which has often arisen in theminds of students, is answered byHoward Shaw, architect of the newbuilding, in a late number of TheUniversity Record.To create “a foil to the continuousgrayness of the ‘Collegiate Gothic’ ”was the purpose which led to the se¬lection of red brick and a differenttype of architecture, according to Mr.Shaw. Were it not for this varia¬tion the University buildings acrossthe street would be in danger of los¬ing their individuality by reason ofthe sameness of color.At the same time, Mr. Show point¬ed out, the new building’s “stonc-mullioned windows and leaded case¬ments re-echo the neighboring collegebuildings.”“A free treatment of domesticGothic” is the way in which Mr. Shawcharacterizes the style of the club.Its big chimneys, its informal en-rance, its glazed porch, all give the building that homelike touch whichthe ecclesiastic and academic tone ofthe other buildings necessarily lack.This atmosphere will be still furtherdeveloped when the grounds havebeen planted and when vines cover thewalls.Because of its historical associa¬tions, this “domestic” style is alsosuggestive of the academic tone.Most of the buildings at Cambridge! university are of brick trimmed withstone. At Oxford, while almost allof the colleges are of stone, the Quad¬rangle club is of brick.Mr. Shaw is especially interested inthe architectural effect as a whole ofthe corner of 57th street and Univer¬sity avenue. The new Disciples’church, of which Mr. Shaw is also thearchitect, will combine with the Quad¬rangle club and the two Universitybuildings designed by Coolidge, toform an architectural effect which fewcorners in Chicago can rival. Thefour buildings present a pleasing va¬riety—all are placed at different dis¬tances from the street—yet they are,Mr. Shaw says, of “homogeneouscharacter;” they constitute an ex¬ample of unity of design rarely foundj in a city street-corner. SEVEN MEMBERSARE INSTALLED INCOUNCIL MEETINGBody To Hold Open MeetingIn Classics 21 NextTuesdayPLAN LARGE SENIOR INFORMALSeven new members of the Under¬graduate council were installed at themeeting of that body yesterday. Thenewly elected class representativeswho took the places of Clarence Brick-man, Ella Marks, Robert Kerber,Martha Smart, Russell Petit, Wini¬fred King, .Joseph Duggn, RobertHowell, and Eleanor Pickett.

Everyone on thecampus is specially invited to attendthis meeting in order that every pos¬sible viewpoint on the subject may beobtained and some satisfactory deci¬sion arrived at. “This is a chance forindividuals to air their complaintswhere they will be of real service tothe student body,” said Signe Wen-nerblad.Plan Senior DanceThat there may be a definite basisupon which to base the discussion, thecouncil has appointed a committee togo into the subject of preferential vot¬ing with members of the PoliticalScience department of the University.Plans were also laid for an exclu¬sive senior dance Mar. 9 from 4 to 6in the Reynolds club. Following upDean Talbot’s suggestion that the at¬tendance at class dances be limitedto members of the class, if these func¬tions were to continue, checkers willbe stationed at the door with classlists to see that only seniors are ad¬mitted to the affair.WITHERSPOON TOLECTURE TODAY INY. W. C. A. VESPERSIn co-operation with the “Chicagoin China” week drive, a subject per¬taining to China has been chosen assuitable for Vesper service this week,to be held today at 4 in Ida Noyeshall.

There are more numerous op¬portunities for the execution of need¬ed legislation on the part of the Coun¬cil than at any other time within thepast several years.We should have a new variety ofWashington Promenade next year.The election system is unsatisfactory,and can be worked over with littletrouble. The problem of finding aplace where men and women can meeton the quadrangles, other than infront of Cobb hall or Harper readingroom, may be solved, although itseems a bit unwieldy now. Interestin class affairs has been decliningthis year, chiefly, we believe, becauseof a lack of activity on the part ofthe social committees. The councilshould rectify that condition. Thereis no end of things that need carefulconsideration and consequent action.The Council is composed of a bodyof capable undergraduates. It is forthem to show that they realize thatthey were elected to serve, and not toregard their office ns a reward foipast labor. Serious, mature, non-par¬tisan consideration of important ques¬tions is what we may reasonably ex¬pect of them.BOUNCE THE BOUNCEROne guard, policeman, bouncer, con¬ductor of Harper reading room ismore distracting than a bevy of wo¬men at a game of hearts. Herushes out from his desk to the ta¬bles, waving his little slips, attract¬ing the attention of people in far cor¬ners of the room who could not pos¬sibly hear the sufficiently muffled con¬versation of the so-called offenders.The fact is that the bouncer does nothear them often. His eye detects themost sly whispers, and he sails offhis platform, only to return andpounce forth upon someone else whois passing the time of day with somefriend.The system used in the readingroom is a good one. The Daily Ma¬roon has approved of it from the timeof its inauguration last year. Theother men who spend time at the deskthere conduct themselves in a gentle¬manly, unobjectionable manner. Butthe one man—it is fast becoming theUniversity’s leading indoor sport tokeep him hopping about the room inthat fashion so peculiar to him alone.Hot Biscuit TonightDinner 55cBaldwins Restaurant1025 E. 55th Street(between Ellis & GreenwoodBy Students For StudentsLEARN TO DANCE NOW—I eresa Dolan DancingAcademy63rd St. and Stony Island AvenueBeginners Monday Eve—12 Les., $6.00Private lessons by appointment.Academy or Branch Studio:5401 Cottage Grove Ave.$20.00 TO NOTHINGin a few spare hours, depending onyour abilitj and aggressiveness,easily made selling “Alladdin’s Fag-Box.” If you are a worker write forfull particulars on our “Money Mul¬tiplying Plan.”Alfabo Manufacturing Co.Stamford, Conn.

Relay teams havebeen formed and their strength hasalready been tried in the early dualmeets of the indoor season.Big Ten Schools Send StarsReports from the Big Ten camps in¬dicate that in every case the teamshave one or two strong men who willbe sent to the relays. Although manyof the Conference teams show weak¬ness in some 'f the events and a lackof balance, thev will be able to sendtheir stars in their strongest depart¬ments.The members of the Maroon teamwho will be sent have not been chosenyet, but it is certain that four of themen will make up a relay team to rep¬resent the University. Captain EgilKrogh will run as anchor man in thisteam and wil probably run in the in¬dividual events. Krogh has been do¬ing excellent work this season and theMaroon’s success will be based largelyupon his ability.Stitt May Run In RelayStitt is another likely member ofthe relay team. He has been runningin good form this season and it isquite likely that he will score at therelays. McFarlane, Jones, and Masekare also strong runners and chancesare that they wil be sent down.In Captain Sweet the Indians havea strong quarter miler. He will takehis place as anchor ma nof HarryGill’s mile team. His best bet in theindividual events is Ayres, a dashman. Mathias will be entered in theall-around championship.Hubbard Is Michigan StarMichigan’s hopes lie around Hub¬bard, the colored star who broke thehurdles record here in the dual meet.Isbell, Hattendorff, and Reinke arealso strong members of the Wolver¬ine team.

HOLDS HARD WORKPLUS SIMPLE LIFECURE FOR POVERTYSpeaking on the subject “Poverty,a Challenge to Christian Business,”Paul Douglas, Asst, professor of In¬dustrial Relations declared yesterdayin the Y. M. C. A. rooms that if aman’s work does not produce some¬thing useful he is a parasite Powdermanufacturers and bootleggers wasteenergy and contribute materially tothe poverty of the world by misdirect¬ing resources into useless channels.In 1914, statistics show, one out oftwenty-eight persons received publicrelief in the United States. In NewYork City one out of ten was buriedin the potters’ field. Government fig¬ures showed that in the same year afamily of five needed an income of$800 a year for the physical necessi¬ties of life. Only one-half of theworking population received thisamount. In 1918, according to thegovernment statistics, it required$1400 to meet the same physical de¬mands which the $800 in 1914 wouldmeet.Of the 13,000 families canvassed, 2per cent received under $900, 23 percent less than $1200, and 56 percentless than $1500. Prof. Douglas quotedthese figures to show how widespradis poverty. Poverty can be largelyalleviated by the individual withoutlegislation, by working honestly andliving simply without luxury so thatsocial energy now expended in uselessindustry may be turned into produc¬tive energy.COMMITTEES ARE SE¬LECTED FOR NATIONALCAGE TOURNAMENT(Continued from page 1)Chairman.
